The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolenee under circumstances of more than usual urgency. It is now two years since the last festival. During that time, while the prevalence of epidemic disease and general distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, and the cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the building. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large amount. A reserved fund of upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a debt of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been dependent for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer. This charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the Dopuions and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open as a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur pose of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen and ministers officiatlng in the surrounding parishes are invited to lead patients. Of the annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing Moiety is contributed by the Medical School of University College, about 2,5001. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital Contraittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction. The disbursements amount to 5,0301. ; a deficiency of 1,900/. has to be provided for every year. Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an nual expense of supporting the occupan's of 50 additional beds is es timated at 1,500!. The Bomber of beds which the Hospital is now Capable of containin4 is 200. The number of patients was last year 19,794, of whom 1,403 were in-patients, and hOls women in childbirth, attended at their own ha bitations ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as casual applicants. A clergyman of the Church of England officiates as chaplain, but every patient is allowed to have the advice of a minister of that form of religion which he himself professes. The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is pro moted, and much consequent benefit conferred on the public of all classes by the existence of the School of Medicine, of which this Hos pital forms so important a branch. Tickets, One Guinea each, may be had of the Stewards, of the Treasurer, at the Tavern, at the Hospital, and at the Office of the University College, London. Donations and Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer and the following Bankers :—Coutts and Co., 59, Strand—London and Westminster Bank, Bloomsbury Branch—Scott and Co., 1, Caven dish-square—Smith, Payne, and Smith, 1, Lombard-street. At the Hospital the Apothecary, the Matron, and Clerk to the Committee have printed receipts, signed by the Treasurer, ready for delivery to Benefactors. Benefactors and Subscribers who do not make their payments tot the Bankers are requested to take printed receipts signed by the Treasurer. April, 1848. J. W. 000DIFF, Clerk to the Committee.

Mr One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense if right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself undeir the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret en comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health sheuld form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance.

This defi ciency it was proposed to meet by extraordinary means. Messrs. Charles Dickens, Foster, Douglas Jerrold, and others, proposed to perform as amateurs twice in London and once in Birmingham and Stratford ; and, i n addition to this, Millie. Jenny Lind would, fur the pur pose of promoting the objects of the Shaksperian Club, give a concert exclusively on that account. Besides this there is to be a grand ball at Willis's Rooms, and by these attractious it is thought that riot only will the deficiency be made up, but that there will be a surplus revenue for other purposes. Nor is this all. A corre spondence read from Mr. Simpson, of Bramby, near ' Guildford, addressed to Dr. Thomson, the Chairman of the Stratford Committee, and to Lord Morpeth, in the 1 course of which he proposed to send down to Stratford, ' for the purpose of exhibition, on the 24th of April, a ' series of oil paintings (thirty in number), by the late Mr. Singleton, illustrative of the works of Shakspere. The paintings had been bequeathed to him by the late Mr. Singleton, and by the testator valued at about 2,0001. Mr. Simpson proposed to send the oil-paintings down to Stratford to be exhibited yesterday, and for a fortnight longer, upon the committee paying 20/. for the expense of carriage. He further proposed that the paintings should be generally exhibited, the proceeds to be applied to the purchase of Shaltspere's house, the ' endowment of a resident, and the balance, after such proceeds, aided by a subscription, to be paid to him for the pictures. The committee accepted the temporary loan of the paintings, but nothing further. The London Committee, in the course of yesterday (very unfavourable weather) visited Charlecote; it was, however, nothing more than a visit of compliment, and few persohs did themselves the honour to follow their example. The various places in which relics of the furniture of Shakspere were kept, and in some of which his family were said to have dwelt, were visited by per haps a dozen persons; but the festival generally excited the least possible interest. The chief point of attraction was the dinner at THE SHAYSPERE HALL. The attendance there was of the highest respectability. Lord Brooke, M.P., occupied the chair, supported by Lord Morpeth, Sir David Dundas, Mr. Mark Philips, and other distinguished individuals. The.CHAiamAN (Lord Brooke), after the usual loyal and constitutional toasts had been propsed, and all of which were drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, called upon the company to drink to the " Immortal memory of William Shakspere." If that poet had excelled in one point more than another, it was in express ing the beauties, excellences, and virtues of the female sex.—(Great applause.) Mr. P. COLLIER acknowledged the toast. He proposed, on the suggestion of a friend, that the toast to the drama, in consequence of its present depressed state, should be drunk in silence. Lord MORPETH then rose amidst loud cheers to pro pose " The Poets of Ireland." I find, said his Lord ship, that the duty of proposing a toast has been assigned to me. But before giving that toast perhaps I may be allowed to preface it with a very few ooservations respecting the special purpose which has gathered us together this night.—(Cheers.) In the first place, as the Chairman of the London Committee, you will allow me, on behalf of my colleagues, to express the great gratification we have derived from the proceedings of the local committee of this town; and I need hardly say also, that with respect to those who are the habitual residents of this town and neighbourhood, acid to which the inspirations and genius of the spot must have become familiar, that to us, who come from the dingier lati tudes, how refreshing we find it to have this opportunity , of rubbing off some of the metropolitan dust, and re freshing our eyes, our ears, and our memories, among the sylvan lanes of your own lovely Warwickshire.— (Cheers.) Will you allow me to say that I have no sympathy with those who see harm in everything—in fiction, in poetry, and in plays.—(Loud cheers.) At the same time we are not to forget that there is hardly anything to which there is not some risk of danger to be guarded against. Now, this risk and tendency to which occasions like the present might be liable was that of allowing the admiration and the enthusiasm for genius to mount into idolatry—that for which genius alone and by itself can advance no legitimate pre tences. We may fondly hope—we may fervently believe —that the life of Shakspere was as comely as his muse was lofty. This we may hope and believe, but we know that if we could combine all that his writings contain of the beautiful and the sublime—if we could concentrate all the excellencies even of his four superlative plays-- the Macbeth, the Lear, the Hamlet, and the Othello—there would still be one prayer of humble faith, one governing act of real self-denial, a beauty and sublimity after all worthy of our admiration. But taking such feelings as these for our safeguards, we may pass from the consi deration of Shakspere, as a man of whom we know but little, to the consideration of him as an author, and of whom in such a character we know much, and some of those present have enabled us to know more.—(Cheers.) For me to dwell upon the merits of Shakspere would, indeed, be gilding refined gold and painting the lily.— (Cheers.) I have just alluded to my colleagues of the London Shaksperian House Committee ; let me now allude, for a moment, to my colleagues in another com mittee, sometimes called the Cabinet. They are, as you are aware, much occupied by pressing and anxious cares, but I am glad that I have this opportunity of appearing in this our short time of holiday, as their representative, to declare how ready they feel to join in the mark of homage which you are assembled to pay to the foremost genius of the country. Luckily, on this occasion, we have nothing to do with the influences of party politics, but there are scenes in which I think the celebration of this evening need not be wholly separated from the domain of the wider and more comprehensive subject that may be classed under the head of politics; for I will put it to you—Have not the writings and the genius of Stiaks England?— (Cheers.) contributed, in no inconsiderable degree, , to aug ment the consideration and influence of nelancl? (Cheers.) I myself teal that I could I found witnessbearbrethren to this when travelling amongst our Transatlantic that, how ever willing any one might be to raise of the great American Republic; for the Maine boundary, or to pick a quarreldispaubt(em about tilie Oregon, or to h fo ttoi n l d ick a e s d ing th ie e Britishers American with the coup_ New Orleans, yet who was not eager to claimbrotherhood phleanndsooufr justice f st t i h e e e many trymen of Shakspere.—(Cheers.)howl neverthey an4me A ri n c d an l do th es . w k hen he of you who live in this, town must be cognizant of the fact that the first thing that ex to am se i e ne th t e he s lands upon_ounrotshtoorersonis t 0 0 0t ' lature—not to see the palaces of monarchy, o in r e t t h ro o p L ol e i g s is or the temples of religion—not to visit the more pic turesque and romantic portions of our land, the northern lakes, or the Scottish islands—hut, sometimes even before he has been to bed, he rushes to Stratford, and asks to be shown the birthplace and the -rave of Shalts pere, or, in more metrical word s than my own, hies to— The dear scene where the Avon runs ever, The birthplace, the grave, and the t , )me of the bard." (Cheers.) But this impatience and ardour are not con fined even to those who speak the same language, and who share the same blood. Even our French brethren have by this time discarded at least those portions of the heresies of Voltaire. Awl as for our Germau kips hands were so fully occupied as they y were ever busy finding out meanings the text of Shakspere, which perhaps thought of.--(Cheers.) But. tio we not it the ,mo;f. everts of contem porary iuterest connect themselves with the associations of Shakspere ? While the tide of war seems now let loose upon the plains of Lombardy, and are perhaps at this moment breaking upon the ramparts of Verona, at least we may hope that the violence of opposing parties may spare the tomb of Juliet. And Venice ; perhaps in this country we do not care very much whether it is a republic or an imperial fief ; but we should care very much if we thought that a man could no longer swim in a gondela • and walk—ay, " many a time and oft, ou the Rialto."—(Hear, and loud cheers.) And as for the Dane; although we ourselves have not been always quite regular with that nation, yet the thought of Hamlet, the image of the " buried majesty of Denmark," dcepehs and enlists our sympathies with that gallant people, and we should look upon it, almost as a national insult if armed invaders were to bombard the palace of Elsinore.— (Cheers ) Am I not right, then, in saying that there is hardly a mood of the mind or play of the fancy, in circumstances of past events, which Shakspere has not anticipated and has not chronicled ?—(Cheers.) We are now living among acid amidst the t ahoek of dynasties and the crash of empires. Has not Shakspere portrayed to us signs of such great vicissitudes and decays? " Let us sit upon the ground And tell stories of the fate of kings; How some have been deposed; some slain in wail' Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed; For within the hollow crown That rounds the mortal temples of a king Keeps death his court; and there the antic sits Scoffing his state and grinning - at his pomp." Those whom I have now addresseq, and who have lis tened to me with such kind indulgence, I wish one and all " better fortunes. May you long be where bells call you to church . , ,and may you .long sit at good men's feasts."—(Cheers.) I really think that after sitting and talking of Shakspere, we can hardly - condescend to speak of other 'names in the fields of national literature. After the gentleman who has so eloquently submitted to your notice the poets of England —now, gentlemen, I am talking of politics again —(Laughter)—I' intend to insist'upon the maxim, " Justice to Ireland"—(Loud cheers)—and with reference to the condition of that country I must state that I am by no means a Repealer, and therefore I hope that you will consent to no separa tion between the poets of England and the y poets of Ireland.—(Cheers.) Mr. Hoskins, in *giving you the " Poets ofibigitind," headed th em with a venerable name—a name of one upon whose brow the bay leaf is s ill green—bat, 'gentlemen, let us not forget that we have *4ll living amongst us the poet Moore, upon whose myrtle, perhaps, we do not find all the luxuriance of its ,youthful r rime; yet we may join in the hope that it may be long gilded with the mild and genial radiance of a protracted sunset.—(Loud cheers.) With this hope I beg to commend to your cordial acceptance the toast of " Moore, and the Bards of Erin." (His. Lordship sat down amidst reiterated cheers.) _ Various other toasts were then drank, and tho meeting separated between eleven and twelve o'clock. A sub-festival took place at the Falcon Hotel, most ably presided over by Mr. Urquhart, of Birmingham. The toasts were, generally, those drank at the Hall; but it is questionable whether the intellectuality and sociality of the company were not superior.

The rector (the Rev. C. B. Dalton, A.M.) pre sided. In former years all the parochial appointments here were fiercely contested by two antagonistic parties. In this instance there was not a show of opposition. The only matter which produced anything like discus sion was an agreement entered into with the London and South- W es t ern R a il way C ompany, which the ma jority of the vestry regarded as highly beneficial to the parish. According to a statement submitted by Mr. Robert Drummond, one of the surveyors of the highways, th e di rectors of the South-Western Railway Company, though empowered by their Act of Parliam ent to carry out their extension line from Nine Elms with out consulting the feeling of the parish ioners, had in every instance manifested a desire to adopt any suggestion which might benefit the public. If old roads had been stopped up, new and better roads had been opened, indeed every concession had been followed by corresponding advantages to the parish. The High ways Board having rep resente d to the Company that the roads in the vicinity of the extens i on line had been in jured by the increased traffic, the directorsagrets-udmtooaf sum of 1,0001. towards their reparation; another 5001. was allowed for putting down pavements in newly formed streets, and the company had further agreed to pay 2501 a year in aid of the rates.

The following diplomatic correspondence has taken place between the Duke of Sotomayor and Mr. Bul wer, her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid : " TO THE RIGHT HON. HENRY LYTTON BIILWER. " Foreign-office, March 16, 1848. " have to recommend you to advise - the Span ish Government to adopt a legal and constitutional system. The recent downfal of the King of the French, and of his family, and the expulsion of his Ministers, ought to indicate to the Spanish Court and Government the danger to which they expose themselves, in endea vouring to govern a country in a manner opposed to the sentiments and opinions of the nation; and the catas trophe which has just occurred in France is sufficient to show that even a numerous and well disciplined army offers only an insufficient defence to the Crown, when the system followed by the Crown is not in harmony with the general system of the country. " The Queen of Spain would act wisely in the present critical state of affairs, if she were to strengthen her Executive Government, by widening the bases on which the administration reposes, and in calling to her councils seine of the men in whom the liberal party plaees confidence. " I have the honour to be , &c. " PALM.ERSTON." " TO HIS EXCELEENCT THE DUKE DE SOTOMAYOR. "English Embassy in Spain, Madrid, April 7,1848. " Sir,—l inclose for your Excellency the copy of some remarks which Lord Palmerston has lately addressed to me; and I cannot but express to you all the desire which I feel, that the Government of her Catholic Majesty should deem it fit to return without delay to the ordi nary forms of,the Government established in Spain, by convoking the Cortes, and by giving them explanations calculated to efface the impressions occasioned, both in the kingdom and abroad, by the arrest and apparent intention to banish several citizens (amongst whom are to be found some of the most distinguished members of the Cortes), who up to the present moment have neither been tried nor accused of any offence. . " Your Excellency will, I am sure, permit me to re mind you that what especially distinguished the cause of Queen Isabella from that of her royal competitor, was the promise of constitutional liberty inscribed on the banner of her Catholic Majesty. " It is certain that that circumstance powerfully con tributed to obtain the syreyathy and support of Great Britain in favour of her Majesty, and consequently your Excellency cannot be surprised at the sentiments which I express here, supposing even that the general situation of Europe, and the universal tendency of public opinion did not prove most clearly, that at present the firmest guarantees of a throne arc to be found in the national liberty, and in the enlightened justice which are dispensed under its authority. " I avail myself of this occasion to renew to your Excellency the assurance of my highest consideration. "H. L. BULWER." THL DUKE DE SOTOMAYOR TO MR. BIILWER. " Ist Bureau of the Foreign Office, April 10, 1848. " Sir,—l yesterday.received, after two day's delay, a note from your Excellency, dated 7th instant, and en closing a copy of a dispatch from Lord Palmerston, dated the 16th ult., relative to the internal affairs of this coun try. That note was already known to the Government of her AlisjestY, because it had appeared in substance and by anticipation in an opposition journal, published at Madrid under the title of the Clamor Public°, which, judging from this fact, has the advantage of being made acquainted with the diplomatic dispatches which your Excellency addresses to the Spanish Government before they reach their destination. Setting aside the ulterior commentaries and the inductions which such a grave and significative circumstance might present to me, I shall content myself with telling you what my duty prescribes to me on the subject of the communications which you transmit to me. " At the date of 16th of March last, when Lord Pal merston sent you his dispatch, the Spanish Cortes were sitting; the press was completely free, and the Govern ment of her Majesty had adopted a line of conduct full of kindness and conciliation, which its enemies and its adversaries themselves were compelled to admit. What motive can therefore h ave i nduced the Minister of Foreign A ff airs of her Britannic Majesty to make him self the interpreter of the feelings and the opinions of this country, and that in an unfitting tone, when speak ing of the Government of an independent nation; to recommend to its adoption legal and constitutional measures, as if such was not the conduct followed in Spain; to allow himself to advise it to modify the bases of the administration, and to admit into the councils of the Crown men belonging to such or such a political opinion? - • - "Certainly the Minister of her Britannia Majesty is not, in such a work, the best possible judge of the cha racter and habits of Spain, whence order and institutions arise, since foreigners take no active part in the manage ment of public affairs, and have to support no particular party. "The present Cabinet, which has merited, and which still merits the entire confidence of the Queen and the Cortes, and which since its accession to power has governed conformably to the constitution and to the laws; this Cabinet, I say, cannot see without the most extreme surprise the extraordinary pretensions of Lord Pal merston, which leads him to interfere in this manner with the internal affairs of Spain, and to support him self on inexact and equivocal data, the qualification and appreciation of which cannot in any case come within his province. " The Government would have much to say to com pletely justify its past and present conduct ; but it does not consider itself. called pn to do so unless at the wish of its Sovereign and the Cortes, and in no way at the in stigation of a foreign influence, which by that alo ne would commit an offence against the dignity of th e Go vernment and the independence of the nation. All the legal parties in Spain unanimously reject such a humi liating undoubtedly the legitimate represents hating pretension ; and ti.e Spanish G overnment, in erston —would y our E xcellency yourself say— ittiofiivot oSatiphinmaeg it, Government were to interfere and pass of the country. What would representa tive Lord doing general opinion an opinion on the administrative acts of the British Cabinet, and recommend a modificati on in • the regime of the state ; or if it were to advise it to adopt more effi cacious or more liberal measures to alleviate the fright ful condition of Inla n d. " What would he say if the representative of her Ca tholic Majesty in London were to qualify, so harshly as your Excellency has done, the exceptional measures of repression which the English Government prepares against the aggression which threatens it in the midst of its own states? What would he say if the Spanish Government were to demand, in the name of humanity, more consideration and more justiee on behalf of the un fortunate people of Asia? What, in fine, would he say if we were to remind him that the late events on the conti nent give a salutary lesson to all Governments, without excepting Great Britain, and that consequently the ad ministration of the State should be given up to the illus trious Peel—to the skilful man, who, after having con ciliated the general opinion of his country, has known how to merit the sympathies and the esteem of all the Governments of Europe? He would say—what the Spanish Government has a right now to say—that he does not recognise the right of any power to offer obser vations, which rejects as offen.ive to the dignity of a free and independent nation. " Animated by sentiments suitable to Spanish dignity, and to every Government which respects itself, the Cabinet of her Catholic Majesty cannot avoid protesting in the most energetic manner against the contents of the dispatches of Lord Palmerston and of your Excellency; and considering that it cannot retain them without being wanting is dignity, it returns them inclosed, and at the •
