ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-YNN-ROAD.—The annual general meeting of the governors of this truly philanthropic institution was held yesterday ; Mr. James Hopped in the chair. The report of the committee of management, after congratulating the governors and friends of the hospital on its attainment of the fortieth year of its existence, without any signs of abating public confidence in its excellence, stated that during the past year the directors of the Great Northern Railway, in re cognition of the constant services rendered to cases of accident occurring on their line, bad doubled their sub scription, which now amounted to 501. a year. The suspen sion of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, an event which evoked the deepest sympathy of the committee with their highly respected treasurer, 11r. Edward Maaterman, had inconvenienced the committee less than it might have done, as they had only a balance of 153/. Ba. 2d. in the bank at the time. Referring to the outbreak of cholera, the committee stated that the confidence reposed in the resources of the hospital by the three circumjacent parishes of Holborn St. Pancras, and Clerkenwell, induced their seve rali boards of guardians to institute negotiations with the weekly board by which a ward was set apart for the reception of cholera patients from each perish during the continuance of the epidemic. A deputation from the weekly board had a satisfactory interview with the Mansion-house committee during the visitation of the disease, which resulted in a grant of 1001., with ten gallons of port wine, and eleven bottles of brandy. During the past year the number of persons ' treated as out-patients had been 78,406, the number of in patients had amounted to 1,655, and the discharges had exceeded 1,500. The deaths had amounted to 104, but of that number 33 were ascribable to cholera. The financial statement showed that the receipts for 1866 hall been as follows :—Donations, 2,601/. 17m 101. ; subscriptions, 1,490/. Is. ; legacies, b,540(. Is. 9d. ; the total, including sundry small items, being 10,303/. Is. 8.1. while the ex penditure had been 9,789/. Os. 10.1. With regkrd to thedeath of Mr. W. Marsden, the founder of the charity, and of the Cancer Hospital at Brampton, the committee stated that independently daily other shape of memorial which the governors and other friends of the deceased might hereafter see fit to adopt, • member of the committee had most generously offered to guarantee 200/. a year for five years, on condition of sufficient extra funds being raised to sup port one additional ward in the hospital, to be called" The Founder's , ^ or " The Marsden Ward ;" and, m or e ov e r , as there alre ady existed a commodious new ward, as yet un opened, every way suitable for their - fin-pose, the committee strongly recommended this meeting's acceptance of the above offer, and its making immediate arrangements for carrying out the object. The report having been formally received, and votes of thanks passed to the treasurer, medical officers and secretary, it was resolved, on the' motion of the Rev. Mr. Owen, the chaplain, seconded by Dr. O'Connor, that a sub-committee should be appointed to consider the best mode of carrying the recommendation respecting the " Marsden Memorial " into effect. The pro ceedings terminated by • vote of thanks to the chairman, who, it was stated, was the member of the committee re ferred to as having offered 1,000/. towards the memorial. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. Yesterday a general court of the governors was held in the board-room of the , hospital to receive the annual statement of receipts and expenditure. Mr. T. N. Hunt, who occupied the chair, in a few complimentary words introduced to the court Mr. Henry N. Cuatance, the newly-elected secretary. The accounts presented by the treasurer showed that the ordi nary income of the past year had amounted to 10,060/., 1 and the expenditure to 14,973/. ' thus leaving a deficit of 4,913/. to be provided for out of the other resources of the hosiiitaL The bequests during the year had produced 2,0431., and on the Ist of January last the assets stood at 129,984/. The number of in-patients had been 2,001, and the out-patients 21,4.4, making • total of 23,425 persons who last year participated in the benefits of the institution. The Hon. Captain Maude, Mr. T. N. Hunt (the chairman of the day), and Mr. Sedgwick were nominated auditors of the balance-sheet, and Mr. Joseph William Trupp, l and Mr. Mitchell Henry were re-elected treasurers for the current year. The other annual officers were also re-appointed, and votes of thanks passed to the medical and surgical staffs for their past ser vices. Mr. Be Morgan proposed and Mr. Shaw seconded a resolution to the effect that all matters pertaining to the instruction and discipline of the students in the hos pital should be regulated by the medical officers and lec turers conjointly. The proposal was resisted by Mr. More, the lecturer on anatomy, and Dr. Stewart, one of the for mer physicians, on the ground of its being calculated to promote illwil l and dissension between the two bodies. Mr. More attributed the lack of students in the school to the severe discipline that had been enforced ; but Mr. De Morgan pronounced this to be an erroneous conclusion, and the motion, which met with the hearty approval of Dr. Murchison and other professional governors, was ulti mately assented to. A vote of thanks was awanled to the Hospital Carriage Society, for their kind offer of a car- riage, which was gratefully accepted, and the secretary I was directed to make the necessity arrangements for its reception. Thanks were then given to the chairman, with' which the proceedings of the court terminated.

BETTING IN LONDON.-TRIMADAT. The amount of business transacted to-day was not very great, nor Mil any Important change take place. For the Lincoln handicap Christmas Carol was still strougly fancicd. and 5 to 1 — the longest price obtainable- -was occasionally accepted.

The France, whose information, however, is con siderably discredited by its admission that every thing it said yesterday was wrong, now affirms that the result of the debate of the Council of State in the Emperor's presence yesterday, after speeches from Prince Napoleon and Marshal Niel, was to re-open the whole question of the reorganisation of the army, and to suspend the decision which the France as well as several other Paris journals had announced as settled the day before. A totally new combination is now said to be on the tapis. The proposal to fix the duration of service in the regular army at six years, and in the reserve at three years, is to be abandoned ; and, instead, the regulations of the law of 1832 will be revived, with the only change that the time of service thereby limited to seven years will be reduced to six years and a half for all arms. In order to form a large reserve which may be rapidly made efficient in case of need, the latest idea is to create a Mobile National Guard, of which all the able young men of every class up to the age of twenty-nine, who escape general service, would form part. The result of this plan, yet sub judies t would be that the military forces of France would be divided into two categories thus composed :-Ist. The active army consisting of the contingent annually voted by the chamber ; and 2nd, of the Mobile National Guard. The only considerable variation in the Bourse is a rise of 30fr. in Credit Foncier. Rente fell sc. for cash and rose sc. for account, the closing quotations being 69fr. 65c. and 69fr. 6211 c. In its remarks upon the Queen's speech, the Indi petulance Beige says:—" Among the domestic ques tions, that which more than all excites the public mind, and the solution of which will be the affair of the session, —the reform question,—is treated with unparalleled sobriety. The Queen confines herself to saying that the attention of parliament will be directed to this subject, and she expresses the hope that the chambers will adopt measures which, without unduly disturbing the balance of power, will give a liberal extrusion to the right of suffrage. But she does not announce the presentation of a bill, and still leas does she indicate the nature and the bases of the measures her government expects from parlia ment. This reserve and this omission leave the door open to ►ll the expedients recently talked about, which public opinion has constantly feared Lord Derby and his colleagues would have recourse to, in order to bring about a postponement of the question, or to transfer to parliament itself a task they feel incapable of accomplish ing, and which, to say the truth, is for them an utter im possibility, as they would have to satisfy at once the just claims of the working-classes, and maintain the electoral and parliamentary privileges of the aristocratic classes they specially represent in office." Speaking of the Queen's speech, the Nord says:— " The Ministry seem to have drawn up the royal speech with the express intention of not committing themselves upon any of the capital questions of home or foreign policy, and of reserving their complete liberty of action with regard to aIL" Yesterday's Siiele says of the Queen's speech : " The existing domestic question in England. that of electoral reform, is approached in the royal speech with a timidity and with oratorical circumlocutions, in which is plainly apparent the tory cabinet, convinced on the one hand of the impossibility of eluding any longer the energetic claims of the people, and distressed on the other at having to make a serious concession, a step along the road which will lead England to universal suffrage." We read in yesterday's Temps:—" The long speech of the Queen of England contains nothing very striking. The questions it touches are very numerous, and it gives about equal importance to all." Tea PARIS EIHIBITION.—The Lightning arrived last week in the East India Dock, after a rapid passage from Melbourne, bringing for the Paris Exhibition, with her other cargo, upwards of 120 tons of articles of various kinds, the produce of the colony of Victoria, consigned to Mr. William Fane De Salim, chief commissioner to the Paris Exhibition for that colony. The same ship also brought 30 packages, the produce of Queensland, con signed to Mr. M. H. Marsh, chief commissioner of that colony. Owing to the Exhibition buildings in Paris not being as yet in a fit state to receive exhibits, the articles landed from the Lightning will for the present be warehoused in the East India Dock, in lieu of being at once transhipped for Paris. The Lightning was to he im mediately followed by another ship from Melbourne, bring ing a second oonaignment of colonial articles, which may now be daily expected. THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

These are the young has •' • the old ones, who rowed last year, have not yet entered the boat. The crew are very heavy and pull fairly together, but there is much want of finish in their rowing. At the captains' meeting, the following were elected on the committee :—Meurs. Wood, University, secretary : Crowder, B.N.C. treasurer; Brown, Trinity; Bridges, Corpus. At a ca p tains ' meeting held yesterday, the torpid racing was fixed for March 7, a, 9, 11, 12, and 13. A new rule was passed that no one who has ever rowed in his college eight shall row in his college torpid, but the rule will sot be enforced this year. CAMBRIDGE, THURSDAY. The official challenge to row the olollilllll over the metropolitan course this spring has just been forwarded to Mr. F. Willan, president of the Oxford University Boot Club, by Mr. W. R. Griffiths, president of the Cambridge University Boat Club. There have been two eights down the river every day during the week, each boat being steered alternately by the president and the secretary, Mr. O. U. Bourke. The men generally are a strong and power. ful set, and although it is perhaps premature to expresa a decided opinion as to the character of the rowing, yet there is little doubt that when the captain has m ad e his selection from the two boats the crew will not be inferior to that of last year. The following are the two crews as at present constituted: 1. Mr. Anderson, Trinity. Mr. Till, Trinity Hall. S. Mr. Weod, ErnmenueL 4. Mr. Plielps, Sidney. 5. Mr. Kemp, Trinity. a Hon.

COURT Or COMMON COENCIL.—A Court of Com mon Council was held yesterday at Guildhall, at which the Lord Mayorpresided. The MarketaCoiumittee brought up a report which stated that they had received so much as sistance from Mr. Rudkin, their chairman, and he had de voted so much time and attention to the performance of the duties connected with his position, that they desired to have him reappointed for another year. This could not, however, be done without one of the standing orders being suspended, and they asked the court to permit that course to be taken. The report was agreed to. In reference to the recent outbreak of the cattle plague at Laycock's daisy, Mr. Rudkin said the Markets Committee had taken every precaution to prevent the disease from spreading to the market, and extra inspectors hail been appointed to examine all the cattle that were sent to the market, and prevent any diseased animal from being brought into it. He was afraid,from information that had come to his knowledge, that the disease was spreading, but be hoped, from the precautions that had been taken, that its course would be arrested. Dr. Saunders brought for ward a motion that had been upon the paper of business for nearly three months, " That this court do appoint a special committee to inquire into the sanitary condition of the dwellings of the poor of the City of London, and the general precautions adopted by the Commissioners of Sewers to remedy the same during the recent outbreak of cholera." This motion led to a long and somewhat animated discussion, in which a good deal of personal feeling was introduced. Ultimately, the motion was rejected on a division by 76 votes as against 9. The other business transmitted was of no public interest. DEMOLITION OP ANOTHER CITY CHURCH.—This I morning will witness the last service in another City cbwch which has been doomed to destruction under the Bishop of London's Union of Benefices Act of 1559. The church which is to disappear is that of St. Benet Orme- church, situate at the corner of oracechurch-street and Fenchurcb-street, the parish having been united with that of All Hallows, Lombanbstreet, which has a fine church, equal Ulan respects to the wants of the united parishes, ! the Rev. Charles Mackenzie, M.A., prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral, being the rector. 'Divine service will commence at half-past 11 o'clock, when the alderman of the ward and many influential inhabitants of the district are expected to be present. A letter from the Bishop of London to the incumbent and parishioners will be read torn the communion table, and a sermon will be by the Rev. W. F. Erskine Knollys M.A., ofli e l a e c rtiVi College, Oxford, the bishop's chaplain. Out of the pro ceeds realised by the sale of - the doomed church, a church dedicated to St. Benet will be built and endowed In one ' of the meet thickly populated and spiritually destitute districts of the over-crowded parish of Stepney. The widening of the entrance of Fenchurch street by the re moval of the church will be a vast improvement to the City, and will remove many of the dangers to which foot passengers have always been exposed at the junction of the two strait..

The Reverend Richard Tyacke reports the following sad occurrence which happened on Wed nesday, during • fearful gale, to the lifeboat at that place :—" A vessel this morning struck on the Doom Bar, at the entrance of our harbour. At once the lifeboat was manned, and started to her assistance. The seas, how ever, were so mountainous that the boat's oars were quickly broken, and she was obliged to drive before the waves without reaching the stranded vessel. The boat was soon overturned, and the whole crew thrown into the water, and though the boat lighted quickly, none, from the violence of the waves, were again able to reach her. The consequences are fearful—eight of the crew only are saved, and five drowned. The brave Shea, who always volunteered his services in the case of shipwreck, ismer!' the latter number. Two of the dead bodies are washed on shore—Shea's and Varooe's ; those of Trusoott, Crannell, and the chief boatman of coast guard, are still in the water, and nowhere to be seen. The saved are—Hill (coxswain), French (second COISWIll11), Harris, Bate, May, Bennett, Brenton, and a coast 'guard man. The crew of the stranded vessel, with the exception of one man, are saved, as the ebb tide left her almost dry." The lifeboat is on Polseth beach, above high-water mark, and is uninjured. The coxswain reports that she behaved nobly throughout, but he is of opinion that no boat could have lived in the seas into which the lifeboat was driven. It may be added that this lifeboat was the gift to the Na tional Lifeboat Institution of the city of Bristol, and onlylaat winter performed oneof the noblest services a lifeboat could achieve during a fearful midnight storm in saving the crew of 17 men of the barque Juliet, of Greenock, who in the absence of the host must inevitably have perished. Pad. stow is one of the most dangerous points on the Cornish coast, and the gallant Mr. Shea, the chief officer of the coastguard, who perished in the boat, has been off in this and the previous lifeboat on every occasion they had been afloat, and had contributed in the two lifeboatstothe saving of fifty-five lives. The other four brave men who were also lust never shrank from their dangerous duties; and it is to be hoped that, in conjunction with the National Lifeboat Institution, the public at large will come forward liberally to support the families of the unfortunate men who hays thus perished in the performance of one of the noblest, as well as the most perilous duties they could be called on to render to their fellow creatures. Considering the fear ful character of these lifeboat services—that about 6,000 persons go afloat on all occasions in the boats every year, and that during the past fourteen years the institution has only lost 16 lives, it must be • source of congratulation to every one that so small a per centage has been sacri ficed compared with the noble service done in that period, and the large number of brave men engaged at so much hazard in the work. It may be mentioned that the National Lifeboat Institution at its meeting yesterday voted 2101. in aid of the local subscription now making for the relief of the families, under the superintendence of the Rev. Richard Tyacke, rector of radstow, and other gentle men in the locality. CAMBRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATIONS, 1866.

As our readers are aware, he bad been seriously ill for about a fortnight, and for the last week there bad been little or no hope of his reoovery. The deceased, who wu a native of Ireland, was born at the beginning of the present century, and was • well known railway contractor and capitalist. He was the _ . son of a gentleman farmer, and having received a good edu cation, was placed in a surveyor's office, his first em ployment being under Telford in the construction of the Holyhead•road. Rapidly advancing in his profession he obtained the contract for the Howth-road, and for the first railway in Ireland, the Dublin and Kingstown line. Indeed, there was subsequently scarcely a public work in that . - . country' in which he did not take a prominent part.

[TWOPENCE THE JAMAICA PROSECUTIONS. Mr. J. Fitziames Stephen, one of the counsel for the prosecution in the above case, thus explains in the columns of the Time', the propositions upon which he affirms : "1:11te legality of the proceedings depend upon the meaning of the Jamaica Acts. The Jamaica Acts do no define martial law. " a. The common law prevails in Jamaica, except in so far as it is altered by the Wand legislation. " 4. Therefore, we must resort to the common law to ascertain the meaning of the expression ' martial law' in the Jamaica Acts. " 5 . Martial law may mean one of two things: " (A.) It may mean a system of rules enforced by sanc tions of their own which can be substituted for the common law by proclamation when anything happens which the government chooses to call rebellion, the common pew being for the time altogether abolished. " (R.) It may mean the exercise of military powerfor the purpose of suppressing armed resistance, such exercise of power being authorised and limited by the common law. "6. If the first meaning is the true une, those who ex ecute martial law are not responsible for any excess which they may commit, except to their own officers, because the common law being suspended, no offence against it can be cominitte.L " If the second meaning is the true one, then those who execute inarti.d law are responsible for any omen which they may commit, for they are acting as ministers of the common law, and in the discharge of a duty imposed upon them by it, and (mesas in the disebarge of such a duty is • crime. " 7. Martial law is legal in England only in the second, and not in the fi rst sense , and therefore, by propositions I to 4, it is legal in Jamaica, also, in the second sense only, and not in the find. "8. Therefore, the proposition that those who put Mr. °onion to death haves right to rely simply on the fact that they listed under martial law without proving before a jury that what they did was necessary in fact, involves the pro position that the crown may suspend the common Is. at pleasure, and substitute fur it a different system, called martial law , in cases of rebellion. " 9. But if this be true, the Sovereign is above the law, and is able to suspend it when he thinks such a step neces sary for his own safety ; and this is absurd. Apart from this I argued that if the Jamaica Legisla ture used the words ' martial law' in any other sense than that explained above, they acted slim rives, because they acted in direct opposition to the petition of right ; but these arguments were quite independent."
