The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence Snider 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 teneral distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, and the cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by kith prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the betiding. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large amount. A.r;erved fund - ,ef upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a 't of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been dependent for its maintenance on a loan from -the Treasurer. 1 , 0 1111 ,,,,, , charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the ;u8 and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open tree hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur or extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen. " ral • nisters officiating in the surrounding parishes are invited to eeßd Patients. Of ▪ the annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing ii - ',lety is contributed by the Medical School of University College, C ut 2 ,508/. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital T rikraittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction. k„ disbursements amount to 5,00 W. ; a deficiency of 1,9001. has to Provided for every year. i-l ed , ' and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an expen se of supporting the occupants of 50 additional beds is es „,°`mted at 1,500/. Them umber of beds which the hospital is now ".Pable of containing is 200. The number of patients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were • Patients, and SOS women in childbirth, attended at their own ha bitations ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as t ‘slial applicants. A• Clergyman of the Church of England officiates as chaplain, but patient is allowed to have t he advice of a minister of that form ", religion which be himself professes. The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is pro n'cted, and much consequent benefit conferred on tke public of all classes by the existence of the School of Medicine, of which this Hos.

Difildence, or a sense of right determine the former, aid miscalculated hopes em bitter 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 deraami that health sheuld form au item in the compaot; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes it neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Matriculated Member of the University of Eft_ burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage regaires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation La fraught with advantage, becomes, when abuseil.the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, I than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health aid disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early lif e or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequence!, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, - alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone li it can be procured.

AND THE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY .—.-A numerous meeting of the in habitants of the parish of St. M4ry, Lambeth, was held yesterday, at the Boy's School, Lambeth-green, to elect churchwardens, overseers, and other officers for the en suing year. The rector (the Rev. C. B. Dal toll, 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 Western Railway Company, which the ma jorityaiol3otdhtfinaieforn,ierwpatshitarta:olEgoiifhmayb: mahe t c:d h r: eaotenym A c cordings vp, suggestion e t tareosnt withoutuyt yl r emec y r,eamyorwdt ronrhiieyhnsrnogue instance t ght r oatui regarded o e rcgas d ni etegethmshh a eomt tepsi statement or ' oat bffenew h et etereei extension hhnefins em po w e re d tgtt y estdoo hbsf b uyue aettr public.hhnv l e-heedi submittedlnyfieev parish ioners, rei i ar a rs rfs el; Act of in 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.

Their and, whether i3gp therrr appeared by It been made to purchase the house, generally supposed Pts had to have been the birthplace of Shakspere ; that the pur chase, upon certain guarantees, had been completed, but there was at the present moment a liability on the part of the committee, amounting to about 4001. 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, in addition to this, Mdlle. Jenny Lind would, for 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 attractions it is thought that not 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 course of which he proposed to send down to Stratford, for the purpose of exhibition, on the 24th of April, a series of oil painting► (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/. f o l. the expense of carriage. He further proposed that the paintings should be generally exhibited, the proceeds to be applied to the purchase of Shakspere'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 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 CHAIRMAN (Lord Brooke), after the usual loyal and constitutional toasts had been proposed, 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 observations 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, and 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—inAl fiction, in poetry, and in plays.—(Loud cheers.) 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 Shaktiperian 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 he wholly separated from the domain of this 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 Shaks pere contributed, in no inconsiderable degree,torg ment the consideration and influence of lini , ln , e w e r h s e . n ) this C h travelling; el mys elfling amongst tha ourt I Transatlanticcould b witness r a et hr e t b o i of the great American Republic; for I found that, how ever willing any ono might be to raise a spu about k a quarrel about the the Maine boundary, or to found had a single American of New Orleans, yet 1 never brotherhood with the coup.

The toasts were, generally, those drank atthe Hall, , ' but it is questionable whether the intellectuality and sociality of the company were not superior. • SPANISH AFFAIRS. 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 BULWER. " Foreign-office, March 16, 1848. SIR,—I 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 seme of the men in whom the liberal party pluses confidence. " I have the honour to be, &c. " PALMERSTON." • "TO HIS EICELEENCY THE DUKE DE SOTODI.A.YOL "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 synlyathy 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 are 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. "ii. L. BULIVER." THL DUKE DE SOTOMAYOR TO MR. BULWER. " Ist Bureau of the Foreign Office, April 10, 1648. " 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 Majesty, 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 prescrib es 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 Nil of kindness and conciliation, which its enemies and its adversaries themselves were compelled to admit. What motive can therefore have induced the Minister of Foreign Affairs 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 Britannic 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 mariner 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 on to do so unless at the wish of its• Sovereign and this Cortes, and in no way at the in stigation of a foreign influence, which by that alone would commit an offence against the dignity of the Go vernment and the independence of the nation. All the ate repres e nt - our h tint edere and p ass ly yourse hut f say an legal parties in Spain u nanimousl y reject such a hu . mi hating pretension ; and the Spanish Government, i n is undoubtedly the legitim a l o s p o i u n l i d on y o o u f 'excellencya country,e l would Lord we o doing if the Spanish Government ..were to a n opinion on the administrative sof the B r i t i s h Cabinet, and recommend a rnoditi ' eton cation in the regim e o f i f v the state ; or if it w ere to ad tniov P a t it e m it, r general se it to adopt more effi cacious or more liberal measures to alleviate the fright. ful condition of Ireland. " What would he say. if tholic Majesty in Loll,the representative of her Ca ere to quality, so harshly as your Excellency has London exceptional cr measures of repression winch the English against the aggression which 'ls threate v n e s rn i m t e i n n t th P e re m P 7d r s ° t s of_ its own states? What would he say if the Spani s h 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 li.:lirope? 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, rhich rejects as offensive to the dignity of a free and independent nation. ".Animated by 'sentiments suitable to Spanish dignity, and to every Government which respects itself, the Cabinetied 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 %vitiating iu dignity, it returns them iutivud, u at the
