Cooper Institute, this evening, at 8 o'clock. Pro-

! COSTRABASDs.-A careful report made by an agent
of the Sanitary Committee, DR.. Robert Ware, shows
that great desttution exists among some portion,
especially the women and children OF tie conraband
negroes at Fortress Monroe. As many of the men 10
the Government has work for employed at good
wages and ihese quite able TO take Of them
selves but the rest, driven from their homes, and
brought together in so large number at place
where, in the nature Of t,ings they could find no
employment, must inevitably suffer for some Of the
necessares of lie. Food they have enough of, a.
the Government allows them rations but they arc
destitute OF clothing and 70, this they must rely upon
private charity. Hitherto there has been organ.
lied effort on behalf Of Il csc poor people but, at
length, NJ. Francis George law, Of Staten Island,
has taken the matter in hard and volunteers his
vices as lac agent of oil who ave disposed to contrib
10 tbs relief of these poor people. Contributions
Of old o., new clothing for women and children and
of under garments for men, viii be received in the
basement Of the New-Yok Life Insurance Co.'S
building Nos. ll2 and la Broadway, and dUy for
.arded. Contributions in money, for express and
other charges, may be cent 10 Ny. Shaw, Box 3,4oS
City Post Office. The appeal we trust, win not be
seded, and the best y len offer DIR. Shaw,
who has generously and Enthusiastically UNDER
taken troublesome business, which was likely to b
neglected, is thst he may have bis hands full.

CHRIsTMAs GIFTS FOR TIE EEwsBoYs.-The
poor little fellows of the Newsboys Lodging House
have not been forgotten by their benevolent frendson
any former Christmas occasion SIEGE this well-wors-
ing establishment was opened for The benefit of he
homeesa and destitute lads Of tie city, and il is not
probable that the festival approaching will be an ex.
ceptioo to what public generosity hqs made almost
rule. The inmates needed lelp more in gem
ersl way; the numbers Of tie extremely needy boys
dereudent on this institution for shelter AID telp
being larger than ever. These gatherings at The
festive board are rare with them, and we trust they
will be gratiGed with a good repast on Christmas
day. The Christian friends who are DESTROYS Of
giving them gift of either money, clothes or food,
to afford them merry Christmas" can send it 10

LUCK IN NJmBERs.-Tbe rebels IN Missouri win
have to be more careful in their selection of the szs

them shun 900 for, whether Major Zagonyi charges
into that number with $50 Guardsmen, or Gen. Pope
pursues them with 5000 troops, they are equally un-
fortunate in the result only, Zagonyi being impst
uous and irregular in his way Accidentally burt sons
Of them, and the rest running away, he was unable
70 take prisoners Above OF below this number the
rebels may dc Wen, but let them beware Of 2,2OJl
