Tist Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence Maker 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, a.ld tiro cost of maintaining the charity has I.een further augmented by high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the Molding. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large arnount. 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 4 ePottdeat for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer. This charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the Vollulous and increasing neighbourhood in which It is situate, is open as a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur base of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen and ministers officiating in the surrounding parishes are invited to lend patients. Of the annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing moiety is contributed by the Medical School of University College, "*boat 2,5001. being annually paid over by the Counc il to the Hospital ~_ Nantittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction. The disbursements amount to 5,0001. ; a deficiency of 1,9001. has be be provided for every year. Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an nual expense of supporting the occupants of 50 additional beds ts es timated at 1,5001. The number of beds which the Hospital is now 'callable of containing is 200. The number of patients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were In-patients, and 508 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 at yeugten which he himself professes. The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is pro lnoted, and much consequent benefit conterred 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 Itenefaeters. B enefactors and Subscribers who do not make their payments to the Bankers are requested to take printed receipts signed by the Treasurer. April, 1848. J. W.

All who are professionally conversant with the condition of our Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients sutler from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful Influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they receive while in the hospital. It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private families, especially in those o; the middle and lower classes; and parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-contro', and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. '1 he want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countties : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nurses has worked beneficiaily in England. The Insti tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training; to hold out, to those who are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of labour : these are the means which, as they have been successful in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of improvement. It is proposed that the Training Institution Would be under the immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three classes : _ 1. Those under training as probationers. 2. Those who, alter p4s-ing through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the institution for a period of five years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed and maintained, and receive a fixe annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In stitution. At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set an example whieh can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them selves to the training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like that which v ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-tour members, (exclusive i f the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments within four years, or an annual subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governor. A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor. The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President of the Institution. It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of York, and the Bishops o f Lielnield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Ripon, and lsorwich. The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr. Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti tution. Henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer.

By LEONARD WRAY, Esq. London; Smith, Elder, and Co., 65, Cornhill. A 1 It I A G E. 1.11 One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un 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 net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuld form au item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT. —On Friday last, the 14th instant, about five o'clock P.M., as the Tallyho coach, vi hich had changed horses at Bitta.ford-bridge, 13 miles from Plymouth, was descending a slight dip over the bridge, the wheel horses suddenly swerved to the near side, and precipitated one of the passengers sitting in front of the coach, over the bridge into the ravine be low, a fall of thirty feet. The unfortunate gentleman was speedily taken up senseless, bleeding at the nose, and apparently dead, by the other passengers and la bourers on the viaduct. Fortunately, Dr. Butter was following the coach at the time in his gig, and prompt in restoring suspended animation by the aid of brandy, vinegar, and water; but a full hour elapsed before consciousness returned. The gentleman was undressed, put into bed, and carefully examined at the inn, where he is still confined, but not a bone was broken or dislo cated, and no further injury, beyond a general stiffness occasioned by the violent concussion of the fall upon a soft meadow.

EXECUTION OF WILLIAM BATES. The convict William Bates, the highwayman, was executed on Saturday at Chester. It will be recol lected that at the recent Chester Assizes, William Bates, aged 20, and John Walmsley, aged 20, were convicted of highway robbery and murder under cir cumstances of great atrocity. On the 18th of February last, a corn-dealer named Enick was re turning home from Macclesfield, when he was stopped by the prisoners, who presented loaded pistols at him and demanded his money. Enick, being a powerful man, a desperate strug g l e t oo k place b e t w een them, but he was eventually o ver p owere d and knocked down with the butt-end of th e pi s t o l s , and lay on the gr ound bleeding, when, a lab our i ng man coming up , the prisoners took to their h ee l s . The news of the out rage reaching the ears o f some men at an adj acent farm, who saw the hi g h waymen cross the fields , t he y went in pursuit, and w ere soon ga ining on them , when the two suddenly turned r oun d, and presenting each a brace of loaded pistols, swore th e y would send any one to everlasting eternity w h o d a red to follow t hem. Their pursuers, how ever , i nc reasing in n umber, they placed their back s aga i ns t a fence, and pres ented their pistols again at th e mo b. Two brothers , o f the name of Wyatt, more d e t erm ined than th e rest, sprang forward to seize th em , and were ins t a ntl y both shot—Bates shootin g William Wyatt in the ab domen, and the other Wyatt receiving Wa lmsle y 's fire in his arm. William Wyatt died a few hours afterwards. The prisoners were instantly secured. On Thursday a reprieve for Walmsley wa s received by Mr. Dunston, the governor of Chester Castle, during her Majesty's pleasure. Between twelve and one o'clock in the morning the convict Bates was re moved from the castle to the place of execution by the city sheriff (J. Trevor, Esq.), the Rev. Mr. Carbery, and a strong body of police unZlet Mr. Bill, the chief constable. At eight o'clock the execution took place. The culprit, when led forth, appeared perfectly firm, and prayed fervently, being quite penitent. Every neces • sary preparation being completed, the bolt was with drawn, and the wretched man died apparently with out a struggle. There was an immense concourae of persons, hut the utmost order prevailed. A WOMAN . SHOT. - - HERTFORD, SATURDAY MORN ING.—A most de plorable occurrence took place on Thursday last in the vicinity of the Water House, a secluded spot, situate at Hertingfordbury, two miles distant. The Water House, as it is termed, is an old-fashioned building, erected over a running stream, formerly a keeper's lodge, and is occupied by an agricultural labourer named Clark. About twelve o'clock on Thursday forenoon, a shepherd, who was attending his flock in a neighbouring field, heard the report of fire-arms in the direction of the Water House, and soon afterwards saw the son of Clark, a boy of about fourteen years of age, running to a female who was sitting on the ground, but no alarm being given of anything serious having occurred, he took no notice of the circumstance. A short time after, the boy, it appears, went to the residence of Miss Roberts, a lady living in an adjacent farm, and told her some one had shot Mrs. Huckle (who, it should be observed was 63 years of age, and who had come to Clark's house during the absence of Mrs. Clark, who was in London), but who had done it he did not know. Mrs. Roberts immediately went over to the house, where she found the unfortunate woman weltering in her blood, and in a dying state. She exclaimed, " Oh, Lord ! I must die—it was Bill who did it." The boy contradicted her, saying " No, it was not me." Before medical assistance could be procured she expired. The boy was taken into custody. An inquest was held on the body by Mr. Turner, the coroner, which lasted several hours. Ultimately the boy came forward, and admitted, with stolid apathy, that he was the accidental cause of the poor woman's death. He said he was shooting at birds in a walnut tree, when the gun went off accidentally. The CORONER having severely reprimanded him for the falsehoods which he had told, The jury, after considerable discussion, returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The boy, however, still remains in custody of the police.

Slit,—The curtain has risen upon the racing drama of '4B, with what effect upon the sport in general, or on your readers' pockets in particular, time alone will show. The game begins in earnest to-morrow with the race for the Guineas , which is truly called the key to the Derby, the winner of the. Guineas' generally figuring as premier favourite for the Derby, and almost invariably getting a good place in that race, if not winning it. There are nine races and five matches on paper for to-day, four having to close 'and name last night; the remaining five races being of no consequence whatever as to future events or present interests, I shall say nothing about any of them. ' To morrow's bill of fare is a goodly None, comprising, the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, the Queen's Plate, the Coffee Room Stakes, the 300 boys. Stakes, and tliree Sweep stakes to lose and narne,thvening. '*'For the 2'1°;00 Guiittasct field 4 of about seven twill eta% most probably the following, wit hose jocks 4 1113 whosenames I've attached:— Lord Clifden's Loadstone Robinson. Colonel Anson's Blaze F. Butler. Mr. Hargreave's Sunnyside Cartwright. Mr. Payne's Glendower Mr. B. Green's Flatcatcher Edwards. Major Pitt's Fern Mr. Greville's Rosslyn (Doubtful). Lord Exeter's dianthus W. Abdale. The starting of the latter two is rather dubious; Xanthus may be superseded by Swordplayer, and Rossiya by Cervus ; moreover, it is not at all improba ble but that Messrs. Payne and Greville may reserve Glendower for the Derby, and send Rosslyn or Cervus only for the Guineas'. Should Glendower and Loadstone start, to one or other I look for the winner; if called upon to place them I should do so in the following order : Glendower Load stone Blaze Although the distance suits Fern, Rosslyn, and Flat catcher, I cannot believe that they have any pretensions to beat Glendower or Loadstone ; Sunnyside will find the pace too good. Derby speculators look out—now 's the time to make your game : for, mark me, Tuesday's race will annihilate same heavy Derby " pots." With respect to the 1,000 Guineas and - Newmarket Stakes I shall send you the latest state of affairs at New market to-morrow evening. I conclude with a list of probable results : MONDAY. STAKE.

Several witnesses who had lost their luggage on the railway, and who now identified the articles found in the pri soner's possession as theirs, were examined. The pri soner was fully committed to take his trial at the next Preston quarter sessions. Bail was refused. A large number of articles, some of great value, all supposed to have been abstracted from the luggage of various rail way travellers, still remain at the Preston police-of f ice unowned.—Manchester Guardian. Amongst the passengers we notice Mr. Byron, the agent to the bankers and merchants of Great Britain. He was dispatched to America last autumn with instructions from Messrs. Forrester, of the Mansion-house, London, to search for and apprehend four men who had defrauded certain banks in York shire and Scotland. He succeeded in tracing and arresting them at 'different :places in the backwoods, 1,400 miles in the Western States. We have but little additional intelligence by this arrival. In Congress the following resolutions had been agreed to : " Resolved, by the Senate and House of Represen tatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that in the name and behalf of the Ame rican people, the congratulations of Congress are hereby tendered to the people of France upon their success in their recent efforts to consolidate liberty by embodying its principles in a republican form of government. "That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby, requested to transmit this resolution to the American Minister at Paris, with instructions to present it to the French Government." This being a joint resolution, it was inoper a ti ve until acted upon by the House of Representatives. We have dates from the city of Mexico to the 21st of March. There is nothing to notice beyond the fact that the squabbles between the American Generals had been renewed. Mr. Trist was detained at the capital as a witness. United States' Six per Cent. Stock was rated above par, as were Treasury notes, of which sales had been made at from 1011 to 102. _ _ We have no intelligence of importance from Canada. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Aram 8. (From the Shipping List) REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKET FOR TURES DAYS PRECEDING. Cotton—The market for the past week, say since the departure of the Caledonia, has been pretty steady, and although holders have freely supplied, the current de mand prices now stand almost exactly as they did a week ago, though a comparison of quotations at the two dates shows a decline in some instances of ie. per lb. There was but little done yesterday, and nothing after the arrival of the Washington. The total receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports are 1,683,137 bales, against 1,450,225 to same dates last year—an increase this season of 232,912 bales.

FREIGHTS To Liverpool have been slack since our last, and but few engagements have been made, owing principally, perhaps, to the desire for later advises before making further engagements, and partly because all the ships soon to sail were engaged full. We notice small en gagements of cotton at 3-16 d. to id. per lb. for square bales; some heavy goods 15s. to 205.; 1,000 barrels north country turpentine at Is. 6d.; and pork 2s. per barrel.

SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 23.—The Thames Royal Mail Company's steam-ship, Captain Abbott, arrived this afternoon at one o'clock with the usual Wrest Indian charge of Lieutenant Cull, R.N., Ad miralty agent. It will be dispatched to town by th e ordinary mail train to-night, and delivered early in the morning. Since leaving St. Thomas's, the Thames encountered a succession of strong winds and gales. The passage to Bermuda from St. Thomas's, by stress of weather, was prolonged to seven days, which, under ordinary circumstances, she has hitherto performed in four days, thereby causing her depar ture rrom Bermuda to be two days later than the regular period. The latest date the Thames brings are :—Hondu ras, March 13 ; Tampico, March 16 ; Vera Cruz, March 18 ; Demerara, March 9 0 ; Cat Island, New Orleans, Mar c h 22 ; J ama i ca, March 23 ; Trinidad, March '23 ; Grenada, March 24 ; Barbadoes, March 2 , 7 ; Ilavannah, March 28; Nassau, March 30; St. rhomas's, March 30 ; and Bermuda, her last port of call, April 7. • She brings a valuable freight, consisting of 11,000 dols. in American gold eagles ; 46,492 ;doh. in silver, the whole of which are on merchants' accounts ; 3701. in British coin ; 26,981 dols. in gold dust ; 150 serons of cochineal, 100 bags of coffee, a box of pearls, 40 bales of tobacco, 58 cases of cigars, 121 cases of arrowroot, 82 bales of Bermuda potatoes, a small quantity of turtle, and sundry packages of mar -1 chandise. Her Majesty's surveying schooner Lark, Lieut. Lawrence, arrived at St. Thomas's on the evening of the 29th of March. Her Majesty's schooner Ber muda was lying in the Camber, at Bermuda, on the Bth of April, but was expected to be ready for sea in a few days. Her Majesty's steamer, Kite, Mr. Balli ton, master, R.N., commander, arrived at Bermuda, on the 24th ult., from Portsmouth, last from M s . deira, forty days. The Kite relieves the Gleaner in the service of the Royal Naval Yard. The Gleaner returns to .England. The Vindictive, Vice Admiral Sir F. W. Austin, was hourly expected a t Bermuda when the Thames left. Her Majesty's by er a n a t e cl at steamer, Vixen, arrived at Jamaica on the 21st of March from St. Juan de Nicaragua, whither she had been to arrange the dispute with the Mosquitian King. The report she brought was that the affair at y signed at Granada, and brought to Nicaragua by Captain Peel, Nicaragua ,ts b sh e hes e i t n pe2aD : rn s t e hae t r t rio l sn e f settled e v Avon were March, The Forth left Spanish Main on the 18th of March.

By this arrival we have no further news from Mexico, it having been anticipated by the recent in telligence from New York. Our private accounts, however, assure us that the affairs there are in a very pacific state, and commerce generally assuming a much more lively aspect. The recent events in France were known at Ha vannah on the arrival of the Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Avon. The tidings had a most paralysing effect upon the merchants and inhabitants generally and further information will be very anxiously looked for. Immediately on the receipt of the information by the authorities they adopted all the means in thei r power to prevent the news spreading by interdicting its publication in the public journals, but to no effect for, as it may be naturally expected, it spread like wildfire, and caused much consternation. The amount of specie shipped for England from Tampico would have been considerably increased had EASTER HOLIDAYS.
