It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, dis now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

Hillyar, left Malta on the 12thinst. for England, to be paid off, having been in commis• sion since November, 1859, or just four years. She took with her a large number of naval and military supernumeraries, women, and children, and the crew of the late British bark Star of the North, wrecked on the 13th of October last. The Supply, 2, iron screw storeship, Master Commander Bowden, having discharged the stores she brought out from England, and shipped condemned stores, is under orders to leave to-day on return to Wool wich. The Magicienne, 16, paddlewheel frigate, Capt. W. Armytage, proceeded to the Piraeus yes terday, with the mail for Marseilles for the squad ron.

Prevost, is also under orders for Athens, and is expected to leave for that station today or to-morrow. The Foxhound, 4, gunvessel, Commander W. H. Anderson, arrived here on Saturday, the 14th inst., from Greece. A letter by her from the Piraeus, of the 9th inst., con tains the following naval news :—Her Majesty's ship Revenge, 73, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. R. Yelverton, C. 8., Capt. the Hon. F. A. Foley, is to remain here for the winter, taking under her orders the Meeanee, 80, Capt. G.

The Court sat this day at the Guildhall, Westminster, for the purpose of hearing rate appeals. The appeals en tered for hearing were as follows :—The United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Company, against a poor rate of the township of Uxbridge; the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company, against a poor rate of St Mary, Whitechapel; the Metropolitan Railway Company, against a poor rate of the parish of Marylebone, dated April, 1863 ; and another appeal by the same company against a poor rate of the parish of St Sepulchre, for the year 1863, After a short discussion, the rating of the United King dom Electric Telegraph Company in respect of their station at Uxbridge was confirmed, THE GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY, APPEL LANTS; THE rARISH OP WHITECHAPEL, RESPONDENTS. Mr. Clarke appeared for the appellants ; Mr. Metcalfe for the respondents. Mr. Clarke said this was an appeal against a rate made by the overseers of the parish of St Mary, Whitechapel, on the mains only of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Com pany laid down through that parish from the works at Bow common to the City of London,where the gas was consumed The actual expenditure was aboutLB,ooo, and the company urged that they ought only to be called upon to pay 4 per cent., which would be £320, Mr. Metcalfe having addressed the Court for the parish, called Mr. Lee, who proved that a contractor would require 6 per cent. on the outlay, and that there ought to be £l5O in respect of land, making a total of £530. The Assistant-Judge, after conferring with the other magistrates, reduced the rate to £313, and gave taxed costs incurred since July. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY, APPELLANTS; THE PARISH OF ST MARYLEBONE, RESPONDENTS. On this case being called on, Mr. Keane, on the p ar t o f' th e par i s h, t oo k a pre li m i nar y objection to th e a pp ea l b e i ng heard. Under a local act of Parliament, the appellants against a `rate were required to go before the vestry and state the grounds of their appeal. In this case th e M etropolitan Railway Company merely stated that they appealed against the rate, but offered no reasons why they should not pay it. This omission he held to be fatal, as the appeal was informal, the vestry being the first tribunal to which the merits of the appeal ought to have been stated. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Cripps argued that this court was the proper place where the grounds of the appeal should be heard—that they had given notice of appeal, and were now come, with all their witnemes, prepared to go into the question. The Assistant-Judge held the objection to be fatal, and dismissed the appeal. In the appeal of the Metropolitan Railway Company against a poor rate of St. Sepulchre, the rate was reduced from £1,250 to £397, by consent, without costs on either Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the company, and Mr. Poland for the parish.

Prospectus free on application at No, 135, Regent-street, It will be recollected that at the adjourned in quest held before Dr. Lankester, at St. Mary's Hospital, on the bodies of Mrs, Hunt and her two children, when Harriett Blake, the unmarried sister of the former, was called up to give evidence, she handed to the coroner a packet of letters which she had received during the previous 12 months from the murdered woman. The coroner at the time thought it was unnecessary to read them, but said they might be reserved in case it was felt desirable in the course of the inquiry that they should be referred to. This was not done, and the jury re corded their verdict of " Wilful murder" against the suicide Samuel William Heat. A subsequent perusal of the letters which were placed in the hands of the Court proves that had they been read a greater amount of light would have been thrown by them upon the tragical event and the circum stances which led to it than almost all the evidence produced. They are now subjoined, and a perusal of them will not only deepen the interest felt in this horrible murder, but prove beyond a doubt that from the commencement of the year down almost to the period of the murder the unfortunate woman had feared that such would be the end of her career, in consequence of the repeated threats and brutal violence of her worthless husband. That some such suspicion was ever present to the poor creature's mind is evident, as, in addition to her statements as to Hunt's attempts to poison her, she almost invariably concludes with an injunction to her sister to keep her letters. The first letter, en closed in an envelope, bearing the most-mark the 23d of January, 1863, is addressed (as they all are) to " Miss H. Blake, 124, St. John-street, Smith field, City," and is as follows : Friday, January, 1863. Dear Harriett—l am very unhappy, and sorry to hear you are the same. Been such a dreadful row. I don't know what I shall do. Don't come. He said this morning he shall come and see all our relations to-night, and ask them all to our house, and then they should see how he treated we. John, and Ann, anti all should come to-night. So don't, I pray you, any of you come. So unhappy. He calls me such names, and wished last night a dreadful wish, and then said, "If he chose to kill tue he could do it in such a manner he would not be found out; he could melt me to n o thi ng , a ll b u t m y hair." So don't come, if he comes to a s k an y o f y ou . I pray don't. What shall I do ?—and d on 't you say muc h to him, for my sake. I hope I shall see you some time or other. Good-bye. In haste. P.S.—Don't let him think you know anything. He don't know I have sent this letter, mind. The next bears the postmark Feb. 27, and runs thus; -- Friday, February. Dear Harriett,—What am Ito do? I wish I knew. I !aid down last night before he came home, and he had not got a key to get in with, so he had to get in at the window, and I did not hear him. Of course there was a row. He beat my head with both his hands just like a ball. I have got a black eye this morning. lam not to eat, drink, nor sleep with him again. I cannot be more unhappy than now, I don't think. if you get this in time come over to night; if not come over to-morrow morning. If you can come to-night I shall like it.—l remain your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. Ann-cottage, Wellington-road, Coal-harbour-lane, Camberwell, March 11, Dear Harriett,—My life has come to such a dreadful thing now I cannot tell what will become of me. Last week he was out two days and one night. Yesterday he came home at a quarter to 2 in the afternoon, and then our house was a very dreadful scene. I have gnt my shoulder cut open —in fact, lam bruised from head to foot,. He broke a dish by throwing at me, but I made an escape by holding down my head, and then it went through the window. After that he knocked me down and kicked me in a most fearful man ner. I have got bruises all over me, and the second black eye in ten days. Now, suppose you were a wife, would you like your husband to come and tell you he had paid £1 ls. for seats in St. Martin's phurphyard for a him and his woman? Now, would you like that? and then to end the day they go to the Lyceum to wild up. Now, you must think it a very good life I lead here. lam in such a fix I don't know what to do. I don't sleep with him. I wish I was anywhere bat where I write this letter now. Do come to-morrow night by 5 o'clock. If Ido not see you I must see some one who will take pity on me.—l remain, your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. Tnenext letter bears date June 16, 1863, and proceeds : Dear Ilarriett,—l don't think I will be many days before me and William part, and will you try and come and see me beforo we do ?—to-morrow, soon, in the morning. Do come, pray; lam quite broken-hearted. I have plenty of faults, I know, but God knows what I am, and now I am in such a state with blows I can scarcely move. I have got one three inches lung. Do come to-morrow morning. If I do not see you to-morrow I will write to you where I go to.—l remain your unhappy sister, P.S.—Pray come. M. HUNT, July 23, 1863, Dear Harriett,—l hopo you got home before the rain came on. I met William in the Westminster-road, and of course he don't like the last bonnet I made. You remember the one I had on, I dare say—the one I had on Monday— . so of course he began to quarrel with me and walk some dis tance beyond me, so I had to walk very fast to keep up to him, and when he got home he said if he had got home be. fore I did he should have broken the street door open, and then he went on talking, and got in such a rage that I thought I should not have been alive this morning to do this. First of all he jumped up from his tea and took up a knife and thrust it at me, and said he would kill me if I spoke a word to him ; and I said I must say what I think ; so then he took up a chair and threw it at me. It fell upon my thigh, and this morning I have got a bruise the size of the middle of my hand. Se my life is a serious one, and it makes me very unhappy.—indeed, I am now all of a tremble when I think how will it end. He threatens me if I say I will do anything, so I don't know what to do. Keep this letter in your possession; do not de stroy it. He says lam dissatisfied with everything, but you know better than that; and he says I am dreadful wasteful in everything, and that you know to be false. Mine is a bad life. Perhaps I shall see you over at my house some time this week, iu the evening. lam very unhappy, because I have a great deal more to tell you. lam sorry to have to write such a painful letter to you, but it is not my fault. Goodbye, with a heart full of sorry (sorrow), I remain Your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. The postmark on the next letter is July 25 : Saturday Morning, July Dear Harriett, —We got home at 11 o'clock. He said he had bees out to supper to a Mr. Monday, a friend of his, so I told him you had come to see me and you waited till after 10. He has injured his left arm in some way ; when he Caine he had got it in a sling, so I don't know how that came—but when he came in the bedroom I said, "Look at my leg," and he said he wished I had got a dozen more like it (the bruise, I mean) —so he said, in a very sneering way, " I suppose you did not tell everyone what I had done ?'' So he says to me, Hold your tongue, I have got an invi tation for you,' so I did not make any reply, but kept look ing at my leg all the time he kept talking. Do not destroy this, Good bye. August 4. Dear Harriett—l expected you last Friday night, and I kept the lamp burning until nearly 10 o'clock, and then I thought you would come on Monday, but I was disap pointed. Do you think you can on Wednesday to dinner ? I shall be vory happy to so you. Do come. I was so very ill on Saturday that I was obliged to lie down on my bed all the morning. I could not do anything in the shape of work and you know how that annoys me. He is just the same— if anything, worse. Never spoke a kind word yet; and my leg is still very painful to me. Saturday night was a very sad night for me. I don't think there are any more happy days for me in store. my life is quite a bl an k . I h ave lived upon hope for some time, and that has nearly died out ; but I don't know who will be first, hope or myself. I write with a sad heart to you. Do come on Wednesday to dinner. Come soon. I have a deal to tell you. Now, come. Farewell to all for present.—Monday night, Angus" 4. P.S.—Keep this. Saturday Morning, August. Dear Harriett, —Dear H., I wrote to you Friday night, and now Saturday morning. I dare say you will wonder why, but Friday night while I were in bed I was taken ill and thought 1 wa s g oin g to die, for the pain came on at my heart, I felt I cou ld not breathe fora few minutes, and had to cough and si t u p and thump myself and gr oan, but it went off after some titne, and I said to IV, " What chat I do? and he said, "Do not alarm yourself ; it will be right soon."—Keep this. August 29, Dear Harriett, --He is just the same. He went on dread ful last night, and I said if my life was not more pleasant we had Utter separate ; and he said, " Yes, we could have that, but not out of the housa:' Mind, I tell you this ; I don't think my life is safe with him, and I hare thought so for some time. I must not say a word without I receive a blow, and that I do not understand. It was a fearful night last night. He says there is not any law for me, I need not expect that and the n ames he called me was such J should not like to say. He dared me to take any proceed ings against him, but, nevertheless, I don't think I am safe with him. It's a very sad life, mine. I would sooner be in the workhouse than remain with such a man ; but what lamto do I don't know. He has got all my faults by heart, he says ; of course not any of his own, but I know his very well. I say good-bye with an aching heart, and it won't be changed until there is a change in some way. Keep this (on the top of the last side). Friday Morning (no date). Dear Harriett,—Pray do come over this evening as soon as you can, for I think William is mad, Pray come, for he has killed all the birds this morning (Friday), and I feel quite unsafe with him. Do come. My thigh is very bad. I don't know what to do for the best, for my life is quite a trouble to me through him. Do not destroy this. Do come. Saturday, Sept., 1863. Dear Harriett, —I am very ill this morning and very . un happy. You can ask John what I had better do about the paper I - am to agree to. You heard what he said last night, that he should not allow me any money to keep me with ; so ask John if he was me whether he would do that. You may tell him lam very badly treated. We cannot go on in the unhappy state we are going on in; there must be some change one way or other—not a word, not a look is right. You can say that I ache very much. Tell John to send word by you on Monday. I shall expect you either to dinner or in the evening ; do come. If you come in the evening I shall have something to say to you, but come to dinner if possible. You heard the dreadful way he talks to me ; it's quite shocking to bear with. lam very unhappy. You heard him say, too, if I died he should send me to the surgeons, and not bury me ;—there's dreadful talk ! There's not any reason in him, see, in anything I So unhappy Di come ; only you to say a word to. Good .bye. With an aching heart. Keep this. Monday Morning, Sept., 1863. Dear Harriett,—Will you come and see me soon as you can this week ? If you do not come Ido not think you will ever see me again. I have had a very bad eye ; it's just getting better. I thought I should have lost the sight of it; it's very weak now. Do come, if it's only for an hour. I am in great trouble—worse than I ever was. Good-bye.— I em, your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. The last letter was written by the unfortunate de ceased in October last, only a week or so before her tragical end ; but the postmark on the envelope, showing the actual date, is not legible. It was as 'olio ws, and appears to furtell her death ; Saturday, October, 1863. Dear Harriett,—Never let it surprise you when you hear lam dead. I feel quite certain I cannot go on much longer with my husband. He gets worse every day and night of my life. If you know and could see all—a dog would pity me; but I knew you feel for me all you can. I cannot say much in these lines to you, but pity me, and come on Monday. Do not let a shower of rain prevent you. If I do not see you on Monday I shall think I have not a friend in this world. I wish I was good enough to die, but I must try and make myself good, as what he wants, he says, is to see me dead ; then he would laugh, and think what a good thing to think I am gone from this world. What will become of me ? I speak the truth when I say I shall die with a broken heart. We have all our faults, but I have got more than any one, so he says. I con clude with . a sad heart, and my eyes so full I can scarcely see what I am writing to you. I don't think I have a friend; if I have, they should have seen last night—they would pity me. This letter is quite wet with my tears. Keep this. It will be observed as a remarkable circumstance that throughout the poor woman never once men tions a word about her children.

DISRAELL—We are glad to announce, on the authority of the Liverpool Courier, that the lady resident at Torquay, who, it will be remembered, became so great an admirer of Mr. Disraeli, is just dead, and has left a very handsome legacy to the right hon. gentleman. The amount of tho legacy we believe, is £40,000, and Mr. Disraeli is also appointed sole executor under the will of the deceased. This lady was in no way related to the Conservative leader, but was an entire stranger to him. YOUTHFUL AND MIDDLE-AGED NOVELISTS.—. " Vivian Grey" and " Falkland" were the produc tions of mere boys.

The Canada brings no later news via Halifax, telegraphic communication between that place and New York having been interrupted. NEW YOltli, Nov. 10 (Afternoon). General Lee has retreated beyond the Rapidan. General Meade is still pressing forward ; his army has reached Culpepper Court-house. General Buford's cavalry has occupied Culpepper. The object of General Meade's movement is to divert the Confederates from operating against General Burnside. The latter is reported to have been superseded by General Foster. Rumours are current that General Burnside has met with a disaster. NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (Evening). A body of 9,000 Confederates is on its march to attack General Blunt, who is proceeding with 1,800 cavalry and an immense supply train to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Gen. Meade's movement to the Rappahannock completely surprised the Confederates. Nearly all their force on the north side of the river was cap tured. The Southern journals anticipate an early en gagement in Chattanooga. They consider Grant's late movements in Lookout Valley have counter• acted the advantage Bragg gained at Chickamauga, and may enable Grant to winter i❑ Chattanooga. A portion of Federal General Sherman's forces is reported to be advancing from Tuscalouse on Selina, Alabama. The Confederates who are operating against Burnside have occupied London, Tennessee, 23 miles from Knoxville. It is rumoured that an engage ment has taken place between this force and Burn side, resulting unfavourably to the latter. The Confederates have been defeated in two en gagements in Western Virginia. Gen. Banks' expedition, consisting of 17 trans ports and three war vessels, left New Orleans on the 27th ult., it is supposed for Sabine Pass. President Jeff. Davis made a speech at Charles ton. He believed Charleston never would be taken. But if captured, he desired the city should be a mass of ruins. If Charleston was beleaguered on every side, reinforcements would be sent in proportion to the strength. It is semi-officially announced that Mr. Seward has received information that the French Govern ment has stopped the building of Confederate iron clads in French ports. Mechanics and other large bodies of working men in New York and in Boston have struck for higher wages, stopping the construction of Government vessels, and injuring other branches of trade. The steamer Panama, from Mexico, has arrived at New York to coal. She has Marshal Forey on board, who has gone incognito to visit the Falls of the Niagara. Southern journals assert that the prisoners at Richmond receive proper food. The steamer Mail has been captured, and has arrived at Key West. The schooners Herald, Martha, and Jane have been captured. _ ATLANTA, Nov. 4. The Yankees maintain possession of Racoon Val ley, having been heavily reinforced. They shell our forces incessantly. The Yankee advancl has reached Florence. We occupy Loudon, which places us within 23 miles of Knoxville and behind the defences of the enemy. The enemy arc rioting near Huntsville, committing great depredations. Bragg can muzzle the telegraph, but he cannot the mails. The enemy have gained important ad vantages within the last 48 hours, which, unless they are counteracted, will place the question of subsisting his army at Chattanooga beyond all doubt. The commander at Rome has received a telegram from Selma, Alabama, stating that heavy force of Yankee mounted infantry had reached Tuscaloosa en route for Selma. They come from Tupelo by the same route that Bragg's army came by last summer. General Grant is said to have telegraphed to the War Department that two of General Burnside's advanced positions have been assailed and captured by the Confederates, who made prisoners of parts of two regiments that were holding possession at the time. The Richmond papers contain the following '— Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia. General S. Cooper,—ln advance of a detailed report, I have the honour to submit, for the inforfmthae tion of the department, the follovving outl h ine d o esi n recent operations of this army With of bringing on an engagem ent with thet eFedergal army, which encamped a round Culpepper Court house, extending to the Rapidan, this a crossed that river on the 9th ins t., and advanced rm hy y way of Madison Court-house. Our progress was neces sarily slow, as the march was by circuitous and concealed roads, in order to avoid the observation of the enemy. Near that place the co mmands of Stuart and Lee united on the afternoon of the lit , and after a severe engagement drove the enemy's cavalry across e k with severe loss. On the morn the ibppa llaralo ing of the 12th the army marched in two columns, with the design of reaching the Orange and Alex_ andria Railroad, north of the river, and interrupt ing the retreat of the enemy; General Fitz-Lee, with his remainedholdourlines south of the Rapidan. General Stuart, with Hamp ton's division, moved on the right of the column, With of his commande attacked mn. h With a the ad -ranee of the enemy near James Cit y, on the 10th, an d drove them back towards Culpepper; 'Our main body arrived near that place on the 11th inst., and discovered that the enemy had retreated towards the Rappahannock, ruining or destroying his stores. We were compelled to halt during the rest of the day to provision the troops, but the c avalry under General Stuart conti nue d to guard towards the press the enemy's rear Rappahannock. A large force of Federal cavalry in the meantime had crossed the Rapidan after our movements begun, but was repulsed by General Fitz-Lee and pursued towards Brandy Station. After a skirmish with some of the Federal cavalry 1 at Jeffersontown, we reached the Rappahannock at Warrenton Springs in the afternoon, where the pa ssage o f the r i ver was disputed by cavalry and artillery. The enemy was driven o ff b y a d e t ac h m ent of our a cciaavalraty, bat , aided by a small force of infantryh IRt rthe march tery.

The retreat of the enemy was con ducted by several direct parallel reads, while our troo p s Were compelled to march by diffiellit and front. The wil ily of the latter advanced the following day, and so nie skirmishing occurred at Buckland. Gen. Stuart, with II anapton'a division, retired slowly towards Warrenton, in or d er • to draw the enemy in that direction, fulls exposin g , his flank. and rear to Gen. Lee, who moved from Auburn and attacked him near Buckland. As soon tV,.I Gen. Stuart heard the sou nd of Gen. Lee's gune, he turned upon the enemy, who, after a stubborn- re sistance, broke and fled in confusion, pursued by Gen. Stuart nearly to Haymerket, and by Gen. Leo to Gainesville. Here the Federal infantry was en countered, and after capturing a number of them during the night, the, cavalry slowly retired before their advance on the following day,when the move ment of the army from the Rapidan commenced., Gen. Imboden was instructed to advance down the' valley and guard the gaps of -' n.ountains on our left. This duty was well per...__ ; oft cr, and on the 18th he marched upon Cllarlestons.6.l6, succeeded by a well concerted plan in stir - rounding the place and capturing nearly the whole force stationed there and all their stores and transportation. Only a few escaped to Harper's Ferry. The enemy advanced from that place in superior numbers to attack General Imboden, who retired, bringing off his prisoners and captured pr o perty, his command suffering very little loss, and infli c ti ng some damage on t h epursu ing column. In the course of these operations 2,436 prisoners were captured, including 41 commissioned officers. Of the above number 434 were taken by General Imboden. A more comp l e t e accoun t, with state ments of our l oss i n killed wounded, and pri . soners, will be f or war d ed as soon as the neceesary official reports have b een rece i ved.

Late on Saturday night the " guys" took advantage of their absence, to come out. "Ri riTrar'ffrffr iti - eic — tt - rtrell h-lei - nd pen s and ->-. dressed as "guys," entered the town from the direc tion of Stoke's-fields, and, proceeding, along the Stoke-road, broke the windows of Messrs. Impey and Bower, two special constables, who had, it seems, given their party some cause of cffence. Proceeding to the upper part of the town, they turned round the corner of the Ram Inn, and alarmed the whole neighbourhood with their shouts. They then broke the panels of the shutters and shop windows of Mr. Weale, linendraper, having wrenched the shutters from their places, and broken two large windows each valued at £7O. Nor did the upper windows share a better fate. The fram ing was broken, and other parts of the woodwork shivered to pieces, and rot a single pane was left whole. This was the work of only a few minutes. Mr, Weale's son, who is the secretary of the 13th Surrey Rifle Volunteer Corps, ran in undress to the door armed for the protection of himself and rela tives, should the " guys" attempt anything further than mere destruction of property ; but, happily, when he reached the door the 4. guy s " had gone in the direction of the house of Mr. Henry Piper, ex-mayor, on the Merrow-road. An alarm had been given, and the bell of the Town-hall was loudly rung, when about 20 membe-rs of the 21th s con- S u rrey Rifles and a number of th e sta bl e s assembled. An expl os i on of fireworksspecial some shouting being he ar d i n the direction a and Chapel-street (lower down the town) they wer© ordered thither, but there were found P nothing de manding their servic es .

Sword sticks and unexploded fireworks were found yesterday morning in the streets. Mr. Weale's and Mr. piper's premises have since been boarded up. We aro told that three of the " guys" who aided in these disgraceful proceedings are known, and that they will bo brought before the magistrates.
