TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (BMW/ TILTAILLII6.) AUSTRIA ANI) ITALY. PARIS, Sun. 14, EVENING. In opposition to the statements made in the Ita lian journals, the Paris papers assert that a serious difficulty has arisen in the Austro-Italian negotia tions relative to the Venetian debt. Austria per in declaring that the precedent of the treaty of Zurich cannot .be opplied to the debt contracted since 1859. The treaty of Prague and the con vention by which Venetia was ceded to France having unconditionally sanctioned the precedents afforded by the treaty of Zurich, Italy maintains conformably therewith that the territo rial possession of Venetia involves the payment only of the special debt of that province. Baron Werther is expected shortly in Vienna. His visit is ascribed to the difficulties which have arisen relative to the fulfilment of article 2 of the treaty of Prague, which refers to the conditions for the union of Venetia with Italy. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, sir. 14. Count Bismarck is suffering from s relapse of neuralgia in the left leg. He is confined to his room, and forbidden to receive visitors. The King of Prussia intends recompensing the services of the army by the distribution of a con siderable number of orders of merit among the troops immediately after their return to Berlin. The list of those to whom they will be awarded will be palished very shortly. . . . _ The semi-official North German Gazette of to-day says :—" No decision has yet been arrived at by the government relative to the question of an amnesty. The statements, therefore, which have appeared in the newspapers with regard to the date when it will be issued and the persons to whom it will be extended must be considered as mere conjecture."

President Johnson and suite continue their tour through the west, receiving enthusiastic and popu lar receptions and making speeches along the route. At some places the President's speeches are inter rupted by hoots and hisses, and cries of "Traitor' from persons in the crowd. At Detroit the President made a bitter speech against Congress, declaring that the popular masses would come to the rescue, and that the whole radical set would be destroyed. Mr. Seward in his speech declared that aft efforts to separate Grant and Johnson would be futile. He foreahadowed the early downfall of the repub licans if they continued in their radical course. Fears are entertained of political riots at Chicago during the President's visit there. The Board of Trade have refused the use of their hall for the . President's reception. President Johnson has decided to visit Saint Louis. The Southern Unionists' Convention assembled at Philadelphia on the 3rd instant. Delegates from nearly all the Southern States were present, also Generals Butler, Burnside, Fred. Douglas, Brownlow, and others. The Northern and Southern delegates assemble for discussion in dif ferent halls. Ex-ALtorney-General Speed has been chosen chairman of the Convention. Yesterday Senator Chandler made a speech, declaring that if President Johnson did not execute the laws, Cow gress would impeach him. The leading speakers denounced Mr. Johnson.

The question of the oath of allegiance to the Kingof Prussia continues to disturb the consciences of the civil functionaries, and especially the clergy of the late Hanoverian dominions. A deputation of the latter has waited on General von Voight- Rheetz, the new provisional governor-general, to ' ask to be relieved from taking the oaths for the present, and were answered in a most handsome manner, that the Prussian government fully ap preciated the difficulty of theirsituation, and would not insist on it, being convinced that a simple de claration or promise from men of such a high sense of honour as the Hanoverian clergy would be as binding to them as the most solemn oath. This concession, and the flattering way in which it was I made, have given great satisfaction, and gone a long way to smooth down the many existing asL perities which are natural in such a sudden and unexpected change in the dynasty of that. kingdom. • The passing of the law for the incorporation of the conquered territories with Prussia has led to no demonstrations, except at Emdenandsome other places in East Friesland, where the inhabitants gave expression to their feelings of joy and India faction by a great and general display of Prussian flags on the roofs of their houses. I remember some years ago, when making a tour in East Friesland, being struck with finding pictures of Frederick the Great in many of the houses of peasants and villagers, and on inquiring who they were meant for, received the universal answer of " That is the portrait of our King ;" and it was their firm conviction that they were 'then living under the tegis of the Prussian black eagle, and had in their unsophisticated and happy ignorance never heard of their transfer to Hanover in 1815. Speaking, as they do, a distinct language of their own, it is just as likely that they may never hear of the present changes, by which they are trans- ferred back to their former sovereigns, and the, as they have lived, in the full conviction of having always been Prussian subjects. King George V. has set apart a considerable sum of money to endow a charitable institution under the name of the " George Fund," for the support of the widows and orphans of those of his soldiers and non-commissioned officers who were killed at the battle of Langensalza, and the relief of those who were wounded there. Herr Bergmann, an official in the former Ministry of War at Hanover, has been authorised to make the needful arrangements and organise the institution, to which a school is to be attached for the education of the children, and subsequently to bind them as apprentices to learn the trade they may select as their calling. At Hildesheim an indignation meeting has been held to protest against the imputations cast on them by the Baron von Munchausen, as speaker of the late so-called deputation to Berlin in favour of the deposed dynasty. Resolutions were unani mously passed condemning the baron's words as untrue, stigmatising the acts of the deputation as their own personal views, or those of a hole-and corner meeting of the nobles of which nobody ever heard a word previously, and solemnly asserting their most cheerful willingness to be received back into their former relations with, and allegiance to, Prussia. The Court Theatre at Hanover having been erected by moneys taken out of the public treasury with the consent of the chambers, is declared to be the property of the Prussian state ; but it was questionable to whom belonged the decorations, machinery, and other properties, as they were mostly paid for out of the King's civil list, not withstanding which they have all been declared by the Prussian law officers to be .tale property, in consequence of which decision formal possession was taken on Friday last and an inventory made. As it is understood that the Crown Prince of Prussia is to reside permanently at Hanover as viceroy, the Court Theatre is to be kept up on its late footing as a first-rate establishment. A M. de Bequignolles, formerly an actor and subse quently artistical director of the. Ducal Theatre at Wiesbaden, is appointed director under the super intendence of Herr von Hillsen, director-general of the royal theatres at Berlin. 11.1 now transpired that the negotiations pending between the government of Prussia and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg are not for in ex change of the latter's grand duchy for Schleswig- Hobstein--as was at first stated—but only for a transfer to Prussia of the so-called pribeipality of Lubeck, which belongs to him, consisting of tie territory of Eutin and Schwartau, two little enclaves situated in Holstein, between Kiel and the city of Lubeck, for giving up posseaaion of which he is to be indemnified by a piece of territory of I equal size and value on the left bank of the Weser, and adjoining him own grand ducal do minions. PRUSSIA. Kipg William received a deputation from the I municipal authorities of Potsdam on the 12th, who ' came to present a congratulatory address. The 1 1 following is his reply : lam thankful that the representatives of the second capital repeat to me through you what you have already • • expressed to me in an address upon my return from the • field. Yes, we have lived together through a grand period, glorious to our Prusaian fatherland, and it is to be hoped fraught with blessings to our larger fatherland of Germany. It was very difficult for me at my advanced age to rive the order for war—war against an old federal ally with a rightful position ia Germany, and to whose ancient sovereign house I was bound by various relations. It was doubly difficult for me because I knew the wart- Aces I was compelled to impose upon my entire people; ; but I was challenged to act as I did, and forced to enter ; upon the struggle. That I could do so with confidence we owe to the instrument through which aloes victory mould be obtained—the army—which I had carefully prepared, in order to benble to rely upon it in the moment of danger. Continuing to build upon the foundations laid by my two I predecessors, I have not allowed myself to be led astray in the °Deviation that Prussia would some day need a strong and well-drilled army to withstand every other force, perhaps stronger and better drilled, which might threaten our existence. For four years my conscientious labours at this task—the task of a life for myself as far the State—have been embittered ; bat the result has show* that labour and sacrifice have not been in vain. It wra the contest of two equally well-drilled equivalent armies, and I therefore recognise in the decision favourable to us the finer of Providence visible in the work we have partly already finished, partly have still to execute, and perhaps, as you very correctly say, shall not bring to a for tunede conclusion until after still further trial, for me and for you. For this reason I rejoice at the sentiments and promises the representatives of the towns have recently upon various occasions expressed towards me, and with which you, gentlemen, have 'emaciated yourselves to-day.

A review took place in the Lustgarten immediately after the delivery of the King's reply to the address. • THUGGISH IN NEW ZEALAND. The greatest excitement has been created in this provinoe by the amen of a gang of four men, who, with other accomplices who have, it ts supposed, gone to Aus tralia, have evidently for a length of time been eorninittiog robberies on the West Coast gold fields, and in the course of their career have committed upwards of 30 atrocious and cold-blooded murders. The suspicions of Mr. Jervis, innkeeper at Can vas Town—which had been aroused by the dis appearance of four persons all residing at Deep Creek, named Felix Matthiew, hotel keeper ; John Kemptherne. storekeeper ; James Pontius, miner ; and James Dudley, storekeeper—were directed wards • party of fourietrangers who put up at his house and left shortly before the unfortu nate victims started for Nelson on the 12th of June, with a pack-horse and considerable property in goods and messy with them, where they never arrived. Mr. Jervis tracked them on their way until he lost ' all clue, and then communicated with the police. General suspicion was roamed, and large parties vo lunteered to search the district, highly to their credit declining the rewards offered by the relatives of the murdered men. The gang suspected by Mr. Jervis, who, when they were at Canvas Town, were almost destitute, were arrested at Nelson, pretending to be unknown to each caber, flush of money, having purchased new clothes and most suspiciously having all shaved off their beards and mustaches. Their names are Richard Burgess, alias Hall ; Thomas Kelly, alias Hannan, alias Noon ; T homas , alias John Joseph Sullivan;and William, alias Phil Levy. Thames Sullivan ha d strangely enough assumed the name of John Joseph Sullivan, a man I wanted by the Otsego polies, oa his snivel in the colony about three months, ago indicating tlict the gang had connexions in Australia, where, indeed, they had been long known as most desperate characters. After their arrest Sullivan made a confession, acknowledging that the gang had not only walaid and murdered the four men above mentioned, but also Mr. Doh- ; son, jun. the Government Surveyor of Canterbury, and a p edlar, named James Battle, all of whose bodies had been recovered from his information ; but he also stated that they had in their cups bragged of many other " exploits " of the like character which the had committed previous to his joining them ; and there is too much reason to fear that these revelations fall short of the actual facts, for the sadden disappearance of a great many persons at different times fearfully harmonises with the man's state ments, and many of the circumstances narrated by him are corroborated by the evidence of other parties. Mr. Dobson was garotted on the most scientific principles, and so were James Dudley and Battle, showing that some of the gang were such proficients in this fatal art that in one case the medical man could assign no cause of deuth except a slig ht congestion of the brain and lungs, but not of itself sufficient to account for strangulation in the total absence of any extern a/ violence beyond a slight mark of pressure on and the displacement of the apple of the throat. Rally, or Noon, had been tried for murder at the Ovens, in Victoria, in 1853, for which his brother was hanged. Burgess had been mate to the notorious Captain Melville, and was known to be the most daring but cool and cautions desperado in Australia. Levy had kept • shanty on the banks of the Molyneux, in Otago, and the number of bodies of parsons found drowned in , crossing that stream had excited the suspicious of the police, but no proof was ever brought against him. In fact, the career of the gang would fill a volume. In addi tion to these murders, they had been watching Mr. Yates, the gold buyer of the Bank of New South Wales in Otago, ' i but he escaped their attentions. It is also proved that they carried strychnine, with the diabolic object of poisoning any party too numerous for attack by joining with them and seizing the opportunity of drugging their liquor at any rest ing-place. At the time of their arrest, they had come to Nelson for the purpose of robbing the bank of New South Wales, and one of them was on the point of going to Aus tralia to obtainreinforoement and appliances. They had fully reconnoitred the premises, and their plan was for one to go in and see the manager just before the closing hour, and whilst he was engaged the rest were to rash in, close the doors (which would not then exctaittention), overpower the clerks, and murder them all. One body was to be buried, ' • in the hope that it would be thought he had done the deed and escaped by steamer to Australia, as they intended to do, having laid their plans accordingly. The confession of , Sullivan was fully corroborated by the diacoveiy of the bodice just as he indicated, the strychnine which was , concealed as he declared, and the evidence of many I witnesses, which, pus together, makes a most extraordi- I nary chain of evidence, sufficient to have convicted them without Sullivan's confession, but unimpeachable with it. They had been committed and would provably be tried at a special commission in September.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA. — Yesterday, Mr. W. Carter oa coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at the Stag nn, Wandsworth-rd, respecting the daith of I William Henry Leighton, aged nine years which occurred through having been bitten by a rabid d og. It appeared that on Sunday morning, the sth August, the deceased, with a younger child, went out to get some milk, and shortly after ran home screaming, and said he had been bitten by a dog. He was bleeding from the right hand and arm. The skin was broken, back and front. It wan such a wound as might have been caused by the bite of a dog. His arm was washed, and a poultice put on. He was taken to Mr. French, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, who neither excised nor cauterized the wound, but advised the child not to be frightened, and the wound healed up in about a week, and the child appeared very hearty until last Sunday, when, although he had taken his usual rest on the previous night, he returned home from chapel and seemed at first drowsy, and reclined on the sofa, saying that his head ached, and that he thought he had taken odd from having been out in the wet on the previous day. He appeared much the same on the following day. On Tuesday he seemed much worse, and about eight o'clock in the evening Mr. Duncan, surgeon, was called in. The ' deceased exhibited some very ext raordinary rymptoms, made strange noises, like barking or snarling, had great difficulty in swallowing, evinced a repugnance for water or other liquids, and on attempting to take any was affected with violent spasms, and complained that there were flies in his eyes, and his legs were drawn op with cramps. These symptoms increased in violence. He died on Wednesday evening. Hr. H. Duncan, of Seymour-place, Wandsworth-rand, surgeon, said he found deceased much agitated and his ' whole frame convulsed, and the general symptoms denoting that he was suffering from rabies, or hydrophobia. lie tried by salivation, km., to afford redid, but it was • hope , led caw There was no known CM for such dimmed. He ' appeared to suffer ; v p:at , pain from spasms before death.ho doubt he died f hydrophobia, caused by a dog bite. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from hyd phobia," at first reeesesseaded the additive of • the police to the subject, but eventually decided upon memorialising the Home Secretary. A DEFENDER OF AM EYRE. Mr. Thomas Carlyle has forwarded to the committee of the Byre Defence and Aid Fried for publics lion a letter received by him from a Mr. J. H. Elliott, of which the following in the chief part "This persecution of Governor Eyre is an example of a morbid affection too prevalent alas I in our coun ty. It was well known in ancient Greece, and the symptom was named ponerophilos. By estrange perverwion those who are thus afflicted—moral ghouls—love and relish bad people—burglars, incendiaries, ru ffi ans, rebels, kidnappers of children and young women. Inno cent, undeserved mime/ is insipid, but the hunted negro, red with blood, latch and high in flavour as long-hung veni eon. The severe sufferings, present and contingent, of the criminal are alone heeded. Let a man commit a rourdee,and the pity of these diseased persons seems solely concerned with him end his puniahment ; the fate of his victim or victims is entirely unworthy of pity ; their pains clean washed out from men's imagination. So with the rebel, the wholesale murderer. Earl Russell boasted (at that time in the Commons) that the Irish conspiracy of 1548 had been suppressed without the sacrifice of one Mee life' —he meant rebel life. But he did not tell the world, nor was it in hie little business to know, how many innocent end useful lives were lost—officers of justice and others who were engaged in the terrible duty of searching for the rebels and securing them, but without scratch or wound. Many men must have been at that time sacrificed, or their health broken up and destroyed, while in all weathers they were tracking the inhospitable wilds of Ireland night and day. Catch 'em alive ; hurt not a hair of their heads ; incise not an inch of their skin, no matter at what risk or loss of your own (useful and honourable) lives. Public policy demands this.' Our drivelling government in the very last session, boasted also that the Fenian conspiracy bad been so far sac without the ascrifiee of a single life--Fenlan life. =1 They quite left out of the account as, of course, unworthy of notice, the number of good men whose lives have been lost by the hand of the Irish assassin, let alone those who must have otherwise suffered in the unavoidable perils of their hazardous duty. In the Jamaica rebellion the same inept government, no doubt, would have made the like triumphant boast if governor Byre had put that down without the loss of a single life—rebel life, some thing so inestimably precious ! Doubtless it might have dons if Governor Eyre bad been silly or crud enough to put the same high value on bad men as do our luxurious humanitarians, and had determined that not one rebel life should be taken, no matter how many good men were sacrificed. Oh yes, all the rebels might have been secured alive and placed in comfortable quarters, like our ruffians at home, if only a sufficiently large number of soldiers, sailors, and civilians had been destroyed without grudge or compensation. So in a tiger hunt, if the order should be, ' Catch 'em alive,' it can, no doubt, be neatly done, if only a sufficient number of persons be destroyed in overpowering him. But neither solitary murderers, Irish rebels, negro rebels, nor tigers, are anywhere worth such a price in the opinion of mine men. Honest valuation would mark their value the other way, and would say, Save honest men's lives, the meals , are of small value—of none at all, indeed, they are less than of no value ; but the lives of the honest people, who are their victims, are comparatively of pricelees - value.' This treat ment of Governor Eyre will show its bitter fruits in future times of trouble. Public officers will shrink from needful and proper coercion. Surely this is what is intended, on the eve, as we are, of physical resistance at home, and espe cially in Ireland. It will serve the purpose well of the conspirators, and they are legion, to hold up the fate of Governor Eyre, in ter orders, before any officer who may be called upon to suppress, by sword or gun, • Fenian, a Romish, a trades-union, or a manhood suffrage rebellion, in any part of the Queen's dominions. The day of con flict is cowing, and what with philanthropists and mis sionaries, priests, and demagogues, poor England will have a sharp struggle for it." MR. HENLEY, MP., ON POLITICAL AFFAIRS. THAME, FeJnar. The annual dinner of the Thame Agricultural Society took place here last night, under the presidency of Captain WTKVHAM, who was supported by the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, M.P., Colonel North, H.P., Colonel Fano, M.P., Ensign Pane, Mr. T. Taylor, Rev. J. Jackson, Mr. J. Dodwell, tee. The loyal toasts having been duly honoured, Colonel NORTH responded for the Army and Navy. The health of the county members having been next proposed LET race amid loud cheers to respond. After touching upon some other topics he said, great changes had take place since their last meeting. A change of govern- ment bad most unexpectedly taken place. It was not for them to consider what the causes of this might be, human events happened often in a way that the most long headed could not foresee, and certainly nobody could have pre dicted last Michaelmas that a government with a majority of 70 or 80 in the House of Commons would have con tnved somehow or other so to cook their dish that they found themselves nowhere. He hoped that those who were now at the head of affairs, would, though in • minority, have the wisdom so to carry on the business of the country that they might not find themselves in the same unplea sant position. lie was sure that the great question which had probably been the cause of the shipwreck of the late government would continue to shipwreck government after government, until some administration was found wise and prudent enough to settle it; for a great question like that which had been mentioned on several occasions in speeches from the throne could never rest until it cams to a fair and final settlement All be hoped wes, that that settlement would be upon such fair and moderate terms that it would not only give satisfaction to those who were most desirous of it, but that it would also contribute to the general benefit and prosperity of the country. (Cheers.) He next referred to the questn of breech-loader. A great disaster had fallen upon one continental army, and the opposing fortes, having been presumed to have • superior weapon, it was not unnatural to conclude that this had had something to do with the SUCCIPSON which they had achieved. The natural consequence of this bad been to make our authorities prick the spurs into the steed—to use a common saying— and we should, no doubt, get improved weapons • year or two sooner than would otherwise have been the ease, and this was great matter for rejoicing. (Hear. hear.) Old people could remember that there used to be long whist and short whist, and there were flint locks and percussion locks, but now there seemed to be u much differerce be tween percussion locks and breach-luders, as formerly existed between the old flint lock and the percussion lock. He trusted that the misfortunes which his own part of the county bad experienced through the miserable cattle plague bad now come to an end, and that, owing to the measures which had been taken by the government, and through the kindness of Providence the disorder would soon disappear. The decrease in the number of cases heel been regular and steady, and the disease might now be almost said to have ceased. The last visitation, however, was of twelve years duration, so that at present we could only hope and pray that there might not be a recurrent* of the disease. If they were thus for tunate they would, indeed, have great reason to be thank ful, especially when they considered the inconvenience which bad been inflicted on all classes of society by the measures that bad been rendered necessary. The closing of the markets had been a serious inconvenience, not only to agriculturists, but to tradesmen and every other class of the community. When they remembered that a curse of this sort lasted upon a previous occasion for twelve years, they must all bear with patience the restrictions which were deemed necessary in order more quickly to put an end to the ravages of the rinderpast. It was only by mutual forbearance that they could hope to attain this result, and he trusted, therefore, that whatever inconveni ence might be suffered, they would yield a cheerful obe dience to all restrictive measures, so long as they were considered necessary. Some other toasts followed.

MANSION-EOM RELIEF ()mourns. Yesterday a meeting of the working committee was held ; the LORD MArog in the chair, An infhiential depulaticia from the committee of the Seamen's Hospital (ship Dreadnought) attendedle fore the committee, accompanied by Kr, K. Cook i e, secretary, and Dr. Rooks, the mMml officer, to state operations with regard to the visitation of cholera. deputation stated that Dr. Book., their medical offitier, had represented to the committee of the hospital that oases of cholera were being deliy brought from the river to their cholera ship, the liedleisle, and that on inquiry he found that no visitation of the ships in the river had tales place ' or was taking plats. Dr. Roche geve Ues his opinion that it would be highly advisable, and tend to amok the *reed of the disease, if the ships en the river ware visited daily. The committee thereupon in , sh acted their secretary, Mr. Cook, to write to the lards I of the Privy Council, which he did, and an answer was returned that the matter should have the consideralltm of their lordships. Not having received any further cotarou nirition from the Privy Council, and nothing having been done by their lordships, the following week the surgeon again represented the matter to the committee, stated that cues of cholera were on the increase, and that every day's delay was attended with risk to so many lives. Upon that representation, the committee, resolving to take the respon sibility expense of the work upon themselves, in structed the surgeon to make such arrangements as he deemed megrim" to early oat an efficient inspection of the river. Those arrangements were accordingly made, and ever sines the llth August the river from London bridge to Woolwich and the Regent's end City Canals had been visited daily (Sundays excepted). Every vessel moored in those districts had been vi sited by the medical caw daily. In all cams of diarrheas medicines were riven, and disinfectants were distributed where required on board the ships. ' The medicines and disinfectants ware carried in the hospital boat, and given by the medical officer himself. Nearly 10,000 vowels ha d been so visited, and 1,100 OWNS, in which medicines and disinfectants had been dispensed. To show the good effects of the visitation and those precautions, between the 18th of July, when the first am of cholera was taken to the !!elms !. cholera ship, and the 11th August, when the visitation commenced, an interval of 24 days, El cases of cholera were admitted from those dis triets of the river only which the hospital had under super vision. Between the 11th August and yesterday not more than Bor 10 ewe, :peaking from memory, had been ad mitted from tits mane districts, and every cue except 2, which cianirred on the first day of the visitation, was sent in by the medical offioer of each district in the early stage of the disease, the boats which conveyed them to the Belleisle being distinguished by a white flag and the letters S. H., denoting Seamen's Hospital. For the pure poste of visitation they had mapped the river into four districts. the lint being on the north side of the river from London-bridge to the Tunnel-pier, including the Regent's Canal; the almond being south of the river from London.bridge to Greenwich ; the third included the City Canal on the north ride, and the north tido of the river from the Tunnel-pier to Greenwich ; sad the fourth ex tended from Greenwich to Woolwich, including Bow Creek. 73 cases of cholera had been received on board the Belleide and there had been 20 deaths. Mr. Clime, the secretary of the hospital, supplementing the above statement, said the annual income of the insti tution was not equal to the expenditure, and that every year the authorities were obliged to intrench on the lega cies left to the hospital to make up the dethiency. It had suffered a severe loss, viz., about .74.1/. a year, from the abolition of the Merchant Seamen's Society, and also a loss of 1,1001. a year, which it used to receive from the Beard of Trade. Its annual expenditure was about 8,0001. a year, sad its receipts 6,0001., of which about 3,000/ aear was derived from hgaolim. Mr. Cook added, in rep ly to Mr. Richard Hoare, that their tote/ impairs for che ni pumosm had been about rkot, of which about UM. a week had been expended by the medical officer. They had received 1101. from the public on the occasion, including 501. from the Trinity House. Sir MOIDAUNT WELLS thought the work had been ad mirably done by the society. He asked the deputation how it was that in such a port as London the shipowners and marten did not support them, so as to keep up an ample income. The committee were much surprised to learn that a hospital of such great importance did not re ceive the support it deserved. They should be glad, on public grounds, to know that it did. Mr. COOK replied that the reason sailors waived for not contributing was that hospital money was kept off their wages, and that they thought it, ur part of it, went to support the Dreadnought. That money, however went to Greenwich Hospital ; and it wee estimated the; from the reign of William and Mary Greenwich Hospital had received 2,000,0004 sterling tram the mercantile marine. Sir M. Wzua, the chairman for the time, intimated io the deputation that the committee had unanimously voted them 2501., adding that they were also unani manly of opinion that the institution was deserving the most generous support from the public, and that the managuig committee had discharged their duty in the emergency in an admirable manner, and in a manner con ducing to the intercede of the metropolis, having repaid to the danger during a visitation of cholera,of the disease being still further pro ted in this country through shipping, or carried ab in the same way. Tho committee, before eeperatang, made a vent of 1001. to Miss Marsh's Convalescents' Home, and also one of 801. for convalescent purposes to the parish of West Ham. The oonimittee then adjourned till Monday. id ST. Alennaw's CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL, CLEVER. This hospital, which is situated at Clever, within a mile of Windsor, is fast verging towards completion, and it is expected rill be opened on the 40th November (St. Andrew's Day). Asa monument of English charity it is worthy of its founders, and presents an imposing ap pearance from the highway. Built of red brick and Bath stone, and surmounted by a tiled roof, there is an air of simplicity and purity in its style, amounting, in some of its details, almost to severity ; but which is in excellent keeping with the architecture of the age of which St. Andrew's Hospital is a copy. The new hospital is capacious, ita extreme length being 212 feet, the height to the ridge 54 feet, and the extreme width 90 feet. All the arrangements within the building have been carefully planned with reference to the p to which it will soon be put, and as an auxiliary ur ra7:- tution to the hospitals of the metropolis it will be found a most valeable adjunct. The entrance to the hospital is on the south, the visitor passing in.o an exceedingly well designed hall, with porter's and waiting roona, whence a broad staircase with steps and supporting columns of Forest of Dean done and an ornamental iron railing leads to the upper floor and chapel. oo the right of the ball are the men's and women s dining•rooms while on the left Is the men's ward, which will cont ain 24 beds, a nurse's room, and bathing acoommodatioo. The northern half of the building includes the kitchen, a dairy, larder, scullery, sisters kitchen, stores, surgery, surgeon's room, lift and mortuary, width latter building occupies • semi-detached position from the remainder of the structure the various offices already alluded to enclosing a y a rd. On the chamber floor is the women's ward, which will accommodate twelve beds, while sepa rated by the nurses and bath rooms is an apartment containing six beds for " penitents." Nurses, sisters' rooms, parlour, and other o ffic es occupy the other end of the chamber floor, over which is an attic for sick children. The chapel will be on the same level with the chamber floor, and near it will be the chaplain's room and sacristy . The chapel interior is very handsomely designed, its chief p eculi arity consisting in its being pro- Tided w.h ornament-I screens and a sick bay behind which those patient • who are too ill to bear the confine ment of a service will be placed. The organ loft will be in the attic door. Mr. Woodyer is the architect, the builders being Messrs. Wheeler Brothers, of Reading. The hospital will be tended by the sisters from the Hesse of Mercy, Clever; irony of whom, within the last few months, have done such good service in the cholera wards of the London hospitals. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. —An accident happened last evening near Hitchin, which had the effect of obstructing the Hue and delaying several trains. It appears that in shunting a goods or coal train the pointensas made someatupid blander, which, fir frying to correct, resulted in throwing one or more of the wag gons off the down line and blocking the whole of the up trade. Of mares the heavy trains from the north and the specials time Doncaster races were delayed several boars, but happily nothing beyond delay occurred as far as .par reporter was able to learn. The train due at Sines-cross at 9.15 came is just four hours slier its time i and the heavy special from Doncaster, due at 11.15, ran into Inn don at a few minutes before 2 o'clock.
