The directors had decided to ask the proprietors to vote £3OO per annum in aid of the sick and burial fund, established for the benefit of the company's servants.

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 8,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday the Examiners for Standing Ordet proofs of the House of Commons resumed the!r sittings before Mr. Frere. The Great Eastern (Metropolitan Railways, &c.) was adjourned till the 26th. The following unopposed bills were found to have complied with the Standing Orders : —The Great Central Gas, the London and. North- Western Railway (Steam Vessels), the London and North-Western Railway (Additional Powers), and the Preston Station. The opposed bill of the Glasgow Tramways Ivy, which was adjourned from the previous day, was reported as not having complied with the Standing Orders. Before Mr. Robinson the following unopposed bills were found to have complied with the Stand ing Orders :—The Dudley, Oldbury, and Birming ham High Level Railway, the Oswestry and Llangynog Railway, and the Chesterfield and Brampton Railway. The Exmouth Docks Bill was adjourne I until the 24th. The opposed Midland Counties and South Wales Railway Bill had not complied with the Standing Orders. NATIONAL DISCOUNT. The _half yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the City Terminus Hotel ; Mr. W. F. Russell, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that there was a gross profit of £112,544, and after providing for the current ex penditure and reserving £35.143 rebate of interest on bills not yet due, there remained for distribution £68,090. Of this it was proposed to appropriate £65,825 to the payment of a dividend at the rate of 16i per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and to carry forward £2,264. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the great success of the company was owing to the directors and managers having adhered strictly to the rule of not discouuting any but first class paper. The dividend for the past h ilf year exceeded by per cent. that declared at the last meeting. Mr. CIIkYTOR seconded the resolution for the adoption of the report, which was agreed to ; and the retiring directors and auditors having been re-elected, the proceedings terminated with a Tote of thanks to the Chairman. President Baez, if the Washington correspon dents of the New York journals be correct, has succeeded in selling San Domingo to the United States, to which it will hereafter belong as a Territory. Baez is one of those happy men who has a country to sell, who is not troubled with scruples about selling it, and who has found a good purchaser, cireumstances seldom combined. What Baez has now to do is to get himself elected delegate to Con gress, and clear out with his plunder. We bare little doubt that the then Congressman Baez will find some thing more to sell at Washington, where, now so well initiated in the mysteries of lobbying he would prove useful to some cliques. It must be joyful news to the purchasers of the San Domingo loan to learn they have changed a set of unruly negroes into the United States as their creditors. Once lent to a San Domingo Presi dent, the lender might as well have expected to get it back by diving from London bridge to tho bottom of the Thames as by going to San Domingo for it, h„wever strong might be the terms of the contract. The United States undertake to pay the debts of San Domingo, re ceiving public lands at a joint appraisement for all pay ments exceeding $1,500,000. The treaty, it is added, is subject to a ratification by the United States Senata, and by a majority of the voters in San Domingo. Salnave might in his extremity at Port-au-Prince be helped out of his difficulty by selling the other part of the island, and Hayti might then hope in prosperity soon to rival or surpass Cuba.
