I NAL pot I. up.......—mmie& dida. pea Sy Atlinisni.N.A..pim & LONDON,TEIURSDAY,APRIL I2 Ws mast confess that the grand anniversary of the 10th of April utterly escaped our recollection until reminded by the cackling of the geese who saved the Capitol on that amigo°. The opinion, then sedulously spread, was, that the republican Gauls were scaling the very stronghold of our monarchy and constitution, and that chard= like another TASPISIA, had already opened to them the postern. Events, however, pretty clearly revealed the fact that the Gauls had not a thought which they could extend beyond their home, and that chseism, except in the indulgence of a few individual freaks, was as feeble a political theory as ever was generated by freedom and distress. In April, 1849, who of the most conservative can complain that the people have been froward, that their exigencies have been unreasonable, their restlessness dangerous, or their designs pernicious? We believe that the re never has been an epoch so little marked by popular movement. The batter classes of the workeg people themselves have, in fact of themselves, abstained from the manifestation of even their peaceable sentiments during that period, lest it should be mistaken as the echo of foreign move ment; nor has this bean produced by the fear of the staves of special oonstables, or of the military skill which ensconced regiments within prison walls. The good sense, not the fear, of the English lower classes has kept them quiet during an eventful year. We wish we could say that they had every reason to congratulate themselves, and that their exemplary conduct had begot on the part of the legislature and the government merited consideration. But we be lieve there never was a period during which the peo ple or their interests have received so little attention. Every class amongst us, indeed, save the labouring one, has been agitating and struggling. The land lords have been clubbing and conspiring, haranguing and menceavrieg, to keep up their rents by recurring to protection. Toe middle classes are stirring to throw off the unequal burden of taxst;on. Profef 'ions' men object to be put in the same category of tribute with men of realised and hereditary p•operty. Of the Irish working men we hear much, but of the English labourer or operative—nothing. He may sink or swim, learn or be ignorant—if he has wants or ideas, he must make them known though a highly-taxed, and consequently a monopo lised press : if he put up part of his earnings, it must be without the prospect of investment—none is open to him. the very savings bal,ke being legally insecure. He has wither the franchise, which would compel the representatives to take the people's mum in hand, nor facilities of emigration to carry his discontent and poverty out of the land. From the soil he is irre vocably shut out, and the feeling of security— even of earning from day to day—is more and more difficult to obtain. In such a elate of things there must be discontent, not the less deep because it is silt nt—not the less dangerous became it is concealed. And, for oar pirt, we had rather use its open manifestation than the secret extension and festering of the sore without public attention being called to the necessity of cure. The danger of 1849 is, therefore, that directly op posite to the danger supposed to menace in 1848. And, if danger from popular excitement did exist last year, it is plain that the means and the care taken to suppress it have gone infinitely too far. It is plain that there has been reaction, not indeed any change or revulsion of feeling, but a suppression of liberal sentiment and action to such an extent as to give boldne as to the ultra-tory faction. In 1848 we were frightened with the spectre of Lotus BLANC ; and this vain terror has led us in 1849 to fear, not the spectre, bat the reality of a STANLZT administration. Never, Wiacti:Wintoriii more rampant, or the hopes and the tome of the illiberal aristocracy more high. Moderate liberals are reduced to a language of deprecation and humility. Lord JOHN Ruenr.m. can merely direct attention to certain half measures calculated to stave away the difficulties of a moment. Sir ROBERT PEEL confines himself to suggeation and speculation. The popular party, though rising and growing more potent in the country, has still but a small voice in parliament, where the incapable, of the country party alone utter their no-ideas with arrogance, and browbeat the Treasury bench. The bugbear of foreign war and revolution has been made such use of, that the easy and the ignorant or middle clam has suffered itself to be led by the aces back to the same way of thinking, which prevailed in the days of the Regent and of Lord CASTLEREAGH. We are led to worship despotism, to trust in the magnanimity of Austria and Ruses, to scorn the king of PRUSSIA al a constitutionalist, and to beware how we let our worthy citizens pay a cheap and friendly international visit to Paris, lest they should be inoculated by ideas of French equality and freedom. All these recommendations and dissuasions are of a piece --this praise of foreign despots, contempt of foreign liberals, this worship of the arisberacy at home and abroad that popular opinion may be kept down by the numerous he oneta of the standing army, and an ever increasing 'police. It is by aid of this hue and cry against liberalism that the counter movement has been got up for restoring to the landed aristocracy its lost advantage of corn monopoly, and giving it others by throwing the burden of local tax ation= the industrious. It is the universal tranquillity of the county , and the perhaps too great absten tion of all classes from political and social questions, not of a purely fiscal nature—it is this that hu emboldened toryism, and that has enabled it to override every popular interest, and insult every popular feeling. There is danger in this—not danger to either popular principle or the popular party, which have terrible elasticity and vivacity in them, bat it is dangerous to the peace and well-being of society—the prevalence, however momentary, of such extremes. One extreme, we need not say, leads to another: and if Lords STANLEY and ABER DEEN are to re-enact the pasts of Lord Livititeoot, and Csormxnuoa, we may to have HINNY HUNTS and THISTLIWOODS, expect massacres and London mobs, as the necessary seta-off and ooncotoitaata. Timm is at this moment a gentleman of the name of MARTIN agitating the industrious towns of the north with a project, the result, he says, of a seven years' gestation, for opening " to British commerce and enterprise " the trade of Japan, Corea. Cochin China, and Siam, modestly and roundly stated by him at one hundred millions of civilised souls. Can this possibly be the same Mr. MONTGOMERY Mairrx who ones wrote in favour of the abolition of the old Fast India monopoly, who shortly after turned round and wrote in favour of that monopoly, who in due tiinebsoune the paid secretary of the Agricultural Amoriation got up for the maintenance of the corn laws, who manufactured a book called " The British Colonial Library " in the same manner in which we cut out fly-traps from a sheet of paper, who arm; pro moted from the bench to the Treasury of Hong-Kong, and who quitted the Treasury of Hong-Kong to re turn home in order to recommend to the government of the day a breach of the treaty of Nankin, which PEEL. being neither foolish nor faithless enough to give in to, had no other end than the loss of Mr. MONT GOICERY MARTIN'S treasorphip But whoever be the agitator, the agitated may be certain that his hey-presto project of furnishing Britain with a hundred millions of additional con sumers of her manufactures, bears on the very face of it the broad and unmistakable brand of arrant jug- The highest estimate, and that, too, little bettor than guess work, made of the porde lation of the countries embraced in the pro ject is about 70,000,000, or thirty millions s ho rt of the 'alerted number. But the trades of Count China and Siam are already open, and if the inter. MIMS with thei l ati - 1.1 E2 '-"- no doubt it don t ea y sot i• through tbe. of one who meet . much *boat thism. Their population has been . kontd at about SMINO mult, so that we )W0 reduce the grand latate sixty millions. The inhabitants of Corea reckoned “c4l ~a y.ll the _ . p w THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY`; civilised hundred millions, aro, by/weighed-toes. in Per. thiql, and iefirM___smai' barbarians, 41639pyb1i iniry sterile region. - rimy aro at least little better a person or olvdimation than a kind of eras between a Hottentot and Chinaman. Probably a mingle Miusohecer power-loam would glut their market for calico. As for tee empire of Japan, it has proscribed fo reign trade foe now two centuries and a half. The anytime are a single Dutch ship, restricted as to goods and tonnage, and a few Chinese junks, re stricted in the nose manner, the crews, both Dutch and Chinese, being,. duricg their stay in Japan , placed under a rigorous eurrefflonce amountiop to incarceration. The English, the Russians, ant the Americans, have tried to open a trade with Japan to no purpose, and the Dutck have tried to extend theirs with ea little effect. Is it likely, then, that the imperial laws of Japan u they have existed intsct for nine ages, are to be soddenly changed because Mr. MorraosrasT Mamie pronounces some magic words in Lancashire and Yorkshire ? There is but one way of opening the trade of Japan, and that is the conquest of the Japer nese empire—rather a serious undertaking, con sidering that Japan is fifteen thousand miles din tent, and that it has a warlike and hardy population; and remembering that the easier conquest of liindo• shin has taken us a whole century to effect. Setting kudos and international law aside, inch a project is not one that is likely to find acceptance with tbs reform association of Liverpool. Mr. Mairrtn, in his circular, says that his present agitation is carried on under the auspices of the Board of Trade, which, if true, would be curious, for Mr. LABOUCHERE, who has not the reputation of • rash or indiscreet man, has surely already irons enough in the fire without going to Japan, foe one more =manageable than all the rest. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, APRIL 9.—The King and Queen, the Queen Dowager, and all the members e the royal family, attended the Cloister Church this day, when a funeral sermon was preached for his late Majesty William IL, by the Rev. M. Ruitenschild, a clergy man of the reformed church. The rev. gen.leman took his text from 1 These, c. iv., v. Where fore comfort one another with the n wordy." The Queen Dowager hu taken up her residence at the palace built by Gen. Wanderbossche, formerly Governor of the 'Ladies, and which was occupied by the late Prince Alexander. Her Majesty alighted there immediately on her arrival at the Hague. The committee from Luxembourg. charged with receiving the oath of his Majesty as Grand Duke of Luxembourg, hu arrived at the capital. The com mittee is composed ef only four members, and the taking of the oath, which will be attended with the usual solemnities, will, it is supposed, not be public. It is said that the solemn inauguration of his Ma jesty will take place at Amsterdam on the Bth of May next. The King and Prince Frederick (the brother of his late Majesty) continue to receive various deputations charged with presenting addresses of condolence on the death of our late beloved sovereign. To the de putation from the University of Utrecht both these Princes expressed that their private sorrow had been greatly alleviated by the universal and heartfelt sym pathy of the nation. The committee charged with the erection of a mag nificent public monument to the memory of the late king, has received the national support in this great undertaking. Some uncertainty appears to exist re specting the locality where it shall be erected, but Amsterdam, as the metropolis of the k;ngdom, seems by right to put in the first claim to that honour. The Hague, as being the residentiary city, was named as a matter of course in the first instance, but other claimants who now contend for the palm may possibly carry off this distinction. MALTA. Aram 2. 1849. The English screw steamer, Earl of Auckland, came in on the 27th nit. from Constantinople, in four days. The night previous, at 11 p.m., when about 90 mites east of Malta, the steamer struck upon a shoal or bank, and received so maehinjsry, and made water so fast, that on arrival the captain was compelled to beach her in the mud at the head of the harbour, to prevent her sinking. The existence of a shoal 90 miles east of Malta has often been ass: rted and as often denied. In fact the English and French charts of the Mediterranean have a shoal marked doubtful exactly at that bearing and distance. I remember some eighteen years ego, the master of an Austrian brig from Alexandria, reported that when at about a hundred miles east of Malta, he ob weed an unusual appearance right ahead, like a /boa or broken water. He immediately hove-to and vat in his boat to examine it, when it proved to be a shoal of about 100 fathoms in diameter, having ea it has ten feet to three fathoms, suddenly deepening to 10, 20, 30 fathoms. The master said it appeared like the summit of a sugar loaf mountain. This was reported to the then admiral-superintendent se Malta dockyard; and I believe that lieut. Graves, then commanding the surveying vessel Mastiff; went I. smirch of it, but without success. In addition to the tostimony of the Austrian eaptaio, I saw an extract from the log of a Maltese letter of marque, commanded by Capt. Goffiero, in which was a statement of having reen and sounded upon this sane shoal in the year 1808. Several other old seamen also asserted their belief in the existence of this shoal. Since 1830 several captains have arrived, who have reported hav ing fallen in with a portion of a wreck, at about that distance and bearing. Some have even hinted at a shoal, but have been silenced by being told that no " government surveyor" has ever yet been able to discover it. All doubts about its existence most now vanish, for here we have proof positive, in the shape of a vessel with • hole in her bottom, caused by striking upon it. Her Majesty's surveying ship Velars will leave this on the 9th to survey the island of Cyprus; probably Captain Graves may receive orders from Admiral Harvey to seek for it on his passage there. The Earl of Auckland has discharged her cargo, and is to go into the dry dock at the naval yard to be repaired. The schooner Dol phin, which took over die guns to Syracuse. has returned to Malta, having landed them in safety. They are mounted in the lighthouse battery, and in tho battery near the fountain. The Neapolitan consul here published a notice, on 27th ul'., that the port and gulf of Palermo, as well es all others adjacent, will be closely block aded by the Neapolitan ships of war from the Ist of April, 1849, far the prevention of an importation of arms, 11131111nition, and warlike stores. This order has ems& a little stir here, and raised a demand for all the gnu, swords, powder, &c., that can be procured.

Before Sir Edmund Lyons lett Athens for his new appointment in Switzerland, he and Lady Lyons were received in grand audience by Otho and his Queen. His Majesty received Sir Edmund very affably and I courteously, and expr, seed his regret at his departure from his court; the Queen also received and treated Lady Lyons very ersciously. The day following, Sir Edmund dined wi h the King, and as there was neither an English nor a Freneh steamer in the Pincus, offered him the Greek steamer Otho to convey him to the Isthmus of Corinth. Sir Edmund left on the 26th, accompan i ed by a crowd of carriages to the Pireus, where M. Thouvenel, the Frecoli ' minister, awaited to conduct him aboard in a boat belonging to a French corvette. When on board, he was received by Mr. Perriany, the Russian minister; in fact, never has any foreign minister been so honoured as Sir Edmund Lyons. After crossing the Isthmus, Sir Edmund will embark ia an Austrian Lloyd's steamer foe Trieste, touching on his way at Pairs. and Corfu. The ministry is falling to piece by degrees. M. Bulgari had a set-to with the President of the Coun cil, and finding that be was no match for him at " Bi , lingsgate," he asked for his discharge ; he has contented to hold office until some one can be found to relieve him. M. Glarakis, too, had a skirmish with the President; in fact, the ministry is a perfect Babel, or something worse. The question of the re-establishment of the sup pressed convents continues to absorb all other ques tions with the public. Those who think correctly see with sorrow that an important part of the pro perty of the state will fall into wicked and unpro fitable bands. Robbery and peculation still flourish, especially in Attics. A party was plundered a few days ago at the village of Daphne, about five miles from Athena. A deficiency of 15,000 drachmas in cash, and about 60,000 in bills or bank bonds, has been discovered in the military chest at Athens. The ex-paymaster general has been arrested and placed in confine ment. The reason why the heads of depart ments never grumbled at not receiving their salaries is now apparent—they paid them-elves. This affair, like a dozen others of the same sort, will be all hushed up ; for no doubt, on investigation, some certain names will appear to be so indirectly mixed up with it, that "silence will be the better part of discretion." Something is going on in continental Greece which I cannot unfathorn at this moment. All the dis posable troops—horse, foot, and artillery —are march ing in that direction. The town of Vrachori is the headquarters of Western Greece. Large b3dies of frontier guards and gendarmerie are marching upon other points of the continent. Mr. Griffith remains as secretary of legation until the arrival of Mr. Wyse. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 26. After the excitement caused by the removal of Riza Pacha, the orders far the augmentation of the army, the calling in of all furloughs, and the refusal of the Sublime Porte to allow the Russian fleet to pees the Dardanelles—we have become quite calm again. The premiums are all pretty tranquil, without any apparent tendency to an outbreak. It is a lucky thing for Turkey that the Russian in trigue to overthrow Reschid Pacha was diaooveted in time. Had it succeeded, and Riza been installed in his place, the Russians would have obtained all they wished. The fitting oat of the fleet goes on expeditiously. It will be ready in April. Rifaat Pacha, the com mander-in-chief of the Turkish army in Moldavia, arrived here • few days ago, and hal a long inter view with Reschid Pacha and the Sultan. Reouf Bey has been appointed Pr. sident of the Admiralty, vice Mahmond Pacha, appointed to another office. Letters from Beyrout mention that 90 houses have fallen at Beyrout, their foundations having been de stroyed by the waters. A great number have been destroyed at Babba and Choutifet, as also some 200 at Z,hle, ',Rusted on a plain at the foot of Mount L-benon, from whence the waters rushed in streams like rivers from the late rains and melting of the scow. A letter from Galatz states that a quarantine of three days has been established on the frontiers of Moldavia and Wallachia : the regulations, even to the government couriers, are strictly enlaced, ncder the protection of guards of Russian troops.

A discussion of the merits of this plan, and of some other similar suggestions, was entered into ; and, when concluded, the thanks of the meeting were voted by acelemstion to Dr. Ayres. 'G, APRIL FINANCIAL AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Last evaing a very important and influential meeting was held at the Hides Head Tavern, Poultry, on the subject of financial and parliamentary reform. The gentlemen composing the meeting, to number about 100, consisted of the former chairman and secretary, end other active members of the late District Anti-Corn Law League Societies of the metropolis, representing in their persons the reform interests of nearly all the great districts in and about London ; and the ocea ton of their assembling arose in a circular invitation, which had been sent round by the council of the newly-formed Metropolitan Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association, requestleg their antis donee on that evening, for the purpose of entering upon a conference as to the most advisable mode in which local and to-operative associations could be formed anew in the localities previously so successfully operated upon by the Ley,, Sir J. WALMSLEY, as president of the Metropolitsn Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association, took the chair, and, after a heist and c , naprehensive address to those present, in which he explained that the object was to arouse local energy by Wooing the establishment of district sad independent societies. and not to interfere with local vigour, by say generalisation either of fuads or of efforts, called upon various speakers to detail their views to the meeting. The appeal was responded to by upwards of twenty umikers, among others by Mears. ORISON, LANHAM, WDONALD, WFARLANI, SHILLTERIS, MICELI, HOWARD, Shuts, HETHERINGTON, JACIMAN, &O. The general °pl uton expressed was that the metropolis was ready to under take the suggested agitation ' • that the basis of Mr. Hums's manifesto, in the session of 1 848, if accepted as the text of the local associations, would induos co-operation among all classes of reformers ; that the public sympathy was, however, with parliamentary reform as secessarily the prel min.ry to financial reform • and that it only required a decided disrlay of power on the ;art of the central associatioo, by the calling of an sggreaate public meeting, to originate a universal movement throughout the country. Various members of the council, the CHAIRMAN, Mr. nom Mr. P. Testa:fa, jun., Mr. W. WILLIAMS (late M.P. Lc Coventry), Mr. W. J. HALL, &c., also addreseed the meeting, and replied to such of the obj•ctions as had been taken. It was stated as the intention of the council to hold an aggregate public meeting at the earliest possible moment, and that, as to assuming any particular defini tion of the reform demanded, they would proceed to work es practical men :—that, in one word, they would take all they could get, but, for the time, that they would not strive Ilse more than they were likely to attain. In answer to several questions, it was further stated that the central amo elation intended, as part of the general plan, to watch over the registration of the metropolis and of the home counties, end to resort to such efficient machinery as would, in a very Inlet period, give to it the command of a majority of votes in the home counties by the purchase, and distribution among ha members, of landed freeholds. A gentleman, +hose name could not be learned, having expressed an opinion that the aims of the association, as to parliamentary reform, were undefined, and would, there fore, enlist none of the support of the working classes, the Chairman explained that when the association came before the world at a general meeting all misconception would be removed. They adopted, at present, as disbuds of their scheme, household suffrage, such suffrage to include, as intended by Mr. Hume, all lodgers: but they adhered to this proposal not because, individually, the council might believe it to be the best. but because, upon consideration, they were oon4ned that it would he to give up all chance of success to go fer. They hoped for the aid of the working classes; and u they went to the very threshold of the charter, they thought they might rely upon such aid, and upon it being ananimoua. The dissuaded eventually terminated in the passing of re solutions to the effect—first, that the time had snared for commencirg a public agitation for parliamentary and fiscal reform ; second, that the meeting pledged itself, collectively and individually, to use its utmost exertions to establish dis trict reform societies; and third, that each person present be come a member of, and subscriber to, the Metropolitan, Financial, and Parliamentary Reform Association. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman ; and the meeting, which, though altogether of a preliminary charac ter, was conducted with a warmth and heartiness very un usual in merely preliminary proceedings, then separated EAST INDIA HOUSE. Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House for the election of ex directors, in the room of Lieutt-Gen. Sir James Law Luthington, G.C.B ; George Lyall, Esq.; Elliot Maenauthten, EN.; John Petty Mus pratt, ER. ; Martin Tucker Smith, Esq., M.P. ; and Wm. Wieram, Esq.. who go out by rotation.

William Hilary Sykes; John Clermont Whiteman, EM.; and Sir Henry•Willock, H.L.L. A court of directors was also held at the East India House, when the thanks of the court were voted unanimously to Lieut. Gen. Sir Jaws L. Lushingtoo, G C 8., chairman, and Major-Gen. Sir Archibald Otlloway, K.C.8., deputy-chair man, for their great application and attention to the affairs of the East India Company during the past year. FISTULA INFIRMARY. Yesterday, the annual meeting of this charity took place at the London Tavern, Mr. &lien:tan HOOPER, V. P., In the et sir. The SECRETARY read the following annual report fot the year ending Dee., 1548, which stated: " At the close of any year, however prosperous to the com munity in general, it would be a source of great satisfaction to your committee to report the infirmary in a pros' crone and flourishing condition, but to be enabled to do this, Re they happily are, at the dose of a year of general distress and difficulty, is an uncommon gratification to them, and an evidence, if any such were needed, of the utility of the institution, and of the estimation in which it is held. Sion the foundation of the infirmary above 5,000 afflicted poor have been admitted, and during the past year 520 patients have been relieved or cured. There are at present 105 persons on the books, of whom 68 are waiting for admission, their cases requiring the comforts of the in-door establishment as well as the assistance of operative surgery. Your committee regret that their endeavours to purchase more commodious premises or to pro cure a suitable plot of ground for the projected new building have filth. rto been unsuccessful, although they have neglected no endeavour or exertion likely to conduce to so desirable an end. They trust, however, that when it shall again become their duty to submit their annual report, they will have it in their power to congratulate the governors and sub scribers on the attainment of this much required and important object. And as it would be dif ficult to exaggerate its importance, or to estimate too highly the amount of consolation and relief that will be conveyed to many lingering sufferers when the doors of a new building, especially sdapted to the exigencies of their peculiar maladies, shall be thrown open to them, your com mits. e most earnestly entreat attention to the building fund, which is now established, and implore on its behalf the aid of all friends of humanity. Nothing that is given in aid of that fund will be . given in vain, for every farthing con tributed to it is a contribution towards the mental peace and bodily ease of a long succession of sffiicted per sons. In behalf of the infirmary funds, your committee also once more appeal with confidence to those who can sym pathise with the sufferers of a class of disorders to which all Are liable; which are in their nature extremely painful, irk some, and distressing; under which very many persons lan guish secretly, and which experience indubitably shows this institution always alleviates, and often curer. But your com mittee would more particularly address themselves to master tailors and shoemakers, whose workmen are so frequently and severely visited by these maladies, that one sixth of the whole number of patients admitted into the infirmary during the past year are found to have been artisans engaged in these reepectire trades. Your committee have to lament the loss by death of very many distinguished supporters of the institution, both among the vice presidents and subscribers. Of the former Lord George Bentinck, Sir Hector Maclean, and Mr. Alderman John Johnson, have passed from this world, since your commit tee made their last report. The scientific, skilful, and arduous attention of the medical officers, whose time and abilities are ever at the command of the institution, b a theme too familiar to all who in any capacity have been acquainted with tke in firmary, and too long within the grateful knowledge of your committee not to receive that recognition here which it de serves ; your committee simply desire again to record their sense o f these inestimable services, and of the daily increas ing debt of gratitude incurred to those who render them. Finally, your committee would remind all those who, in their generosity and charity, have heretofore supported, or may yet support, this institution, that it is purely established an maiatained for the reception of some of those poor and afflicted strangers, of whom it is written, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done t unto me.' " It also appeared from the statement of accounts, that there was a balance in the treasurer's hands of 1931. Is. 9d. On the motion that the report be adopted and circulated, also that the thanks of the governors be tendered to the Rev. Dr. Vivian, and the gentlemen of the committee of management f•r their effective services during the past year, Mr. Ald. HOOPER observed that all who were present were so well acquainted with the nature and era:elbow of the institution, that it was unnecessary to take up their time with any remarks upon the subj. ct. He could only add his testimony to its excellence, and trusted that it would not only continue to do good, bat be able to increase its amount o(good. The motion was carried, and Dr. Vivian rendered thanks. Mr. Char. WINO proposed a vote of thanks to J. J. Furnival, E q., the honorary physican, and to F. Salmon, Esq., the honorary surgeon and founder of the infirmary, for the courteous sad effective discharge of their duties during the nearer. Mr. R. BRIO° seconded the motion, and said that he had seen a great deal of the workings of the charity, and he bogeed to impress upon the committee to use every exertion to increase the six, of the building. It was lamentable to see such a number of poor creatures obliged to leave the hospital without relief. Out of the whole number who ap plied *iffy one-third, from want of room , were actually re lieved.—The resolution was agreed to. Dr. FrELNITAL and Mr. SALMON returned thanks. The latter observed that he was obliged to reject one-half of the perw.to who applied, not having governors to send them to, or moans to receive them. There were more patients now waiting than would fill every bed for the next six months. If the public were only made acquaint with fiat,governors and if the governo would exercise their Mutate wan means of the seciety would be rendered a d egsate to its weak Those whom Providenos had placed in a superior stitiZ were u liable to thew diseases as the poor.
