Patron—The QUEEN. President —The Duke of BUCCLEUCIT, K.G. Treasurer —Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of eovernora' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz.. that which is accom palled by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large p p proportion of the casual sick of this great me t ropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds ava il able for the reception o 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. The Weekly lloard feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to edmit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

The waters used in the metropolis, according to the analyses of Dr. Robt. l)undas Thomson, F.R-S., are some what less impure than in March ; but the Kent contains a larger amount than any of them both of total and of or ganic impurities. The New River water contains less organic matter than in the preceding month. The composition of a shallow well in Castle -street east, Marylebone, is appended.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, Mid dlesex coroner, held an inquiry respecting the death of a man, aged about 30, who is believed to have committed suicide, and who is supposed to have been the murderer of Emma Jackson, in George•street, St. Giles's, last April. The case, from the nature of the rumours afloat, excited extraordinary interest, and the court was crowded. Richard Reilly, examining officer in the customs, said that last Monday evening he saw the body of deceased floating past witness's boat off the St. Ka therine's Docks. Witness assisted in getting it ashore. It was that of a man about 30 or 32 years old. It appeared to be that of an Englishman rather than a foreigner. The hands were tied together with a twine, apparently by himself. The face had not the black appearance then that it has now. The coat, trousers, and waistcoat matched. They were made of brown and grey crossed tweed. The coat was a lounging coat. The trousers had a russet cord. A red shirt, a white all round collar, and a black silk tie, completed the dress. When searched a fusee box, a leather belt, two pieces of comb, and a handkerchief, were found in the pockets. No money or knife was found. Deceased was about five feet seven inches in height, and was more stout than slight built. Inspector Henry Beckett, Thames Police, said that he was present when the deceased was found. He produced the articles found upon deceased. The combs were apparently of caoutchouc, and were of French manufacture. The cord on deceased's hands was fastened in a running knot, such as he could have put on himself. Witness thought that the body had been from eight to twelve days in the water. Witness should say that he was a clerk —not a la bouring man nor sailor. He arrived at that opinion from examining the hands and nails. Deceased was respectably dressA, and had on a red Garibaldi shirt. There were slight whiskers and a small moustache. There was a tuft on, or rather over the chin. It was larger than an " Imperial." The face was discoloured from decomposition now. The hair was brown or chesnut, and the eyes hazel. The Coroner said that be should take deceased to be a foreigner from his appearance. The bootiOsad kid tops, and they were certainly more slightly fashioned than was usual with English ones., (B•o»rthe 149istrar-General's 'Peekly _Return ) In the week that ended last Saturd,ty the deaths in Lon don exhibited a considerable decrease; they fell to 1,374, which is a loWer number then any that has been returned since the first week of March, In four out of the e , ght re turns that have been mado subsequently to that date the number of deaths was about 1,600. In three weeLs of April the mean temperature of the air was about 60 deg. Last week it was 47.8 deg The average number of deaVas, as derived from weeks in 1 53-62 nearly. corresponding with last week, and corrected far increase of population, is 1,287. The present return shows an eXCZKR of 87 deaths over the estimated Sixty-eight deathit from smallpox were registered last meek, 13 of which occurred at the ;Igo of 20 3 ears and up wards.

Last evening the 35th annivereaty festival of the Roy al Free Hospital was celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern under the presidency of Mr. Charles Dickens, About 200 of the leading friends and supporters of the institution were present on this interesting occasion. Amongst others we observed Mr. G. Moore, Mr. E. Masterman, Mr. Be al Brown, the ltev. I'. B. Owen, Dr. Brinton, Dr. Bridge, Dr. O'Connor, Dr. Wynn Williams, Dr. Read, Mr. Gant, Mr. A. O'Connor, Mr. De Mirk., Mr. Weedon Cooke, Dr. Cockle, Mr. Ilooper, Mr. George Cockle, Lieut. Godfrey, Captain Peter Mathens. Perhaps no charity in London deserves more liberal sup port or affords a larger amount of well-placed relief than theßoyal Free Hospital. Tea e numberyearlyrelieved amounts on an average to 43,000 in and out-patients, but the este • blishment could accommodate 200 additional beds with little increase in staff expenditure. The number of sick and destitute applicants whom the committee unhappily are un able to admit compels them to appeal for larger public sup port. A mortgage of £5,000, with other liabilities, had been discharged, and the committee were making an effort to raise sufficient funds to add at least 100 beds to the 100 already occupied, as well as to purchase the freehold of the hospital, thereby converting the rental under its lease into income available for general purposes. The committee are meanwhile compelled to entreat benevolent contributors to aid them in extending the operations of a charity which was freely open, not only to its own citizens, but to strangers from the provinces and from foreign lands. After the usual loyal toasts came " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers," the chairman remarking that the ser vices unfortunately contributed a full share of sick and wounded to the practice, and exhibited a still larger share of heroic fortitude and endurance. Capt. BLACXENBURY responded to the toast in suitable terms. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal Free Hospital," said it happened to him, some years ago, immediately after the close of the Crimean war, that he was walking in the neighbourhood of Blackheath with a civilian justcome home, who had greatly distinguished himself in connection with that event. Their conversation naturally turned on the incidents which his hon, friend had lately witnessed, and his companion re marked that the ground on which they happened to be standing was sufficiently like the ground on which one of the most memorable of the Crimean battles had been fought to afford a very good idea of the battle-field. " Put behind every one even of the least of the furze bushes - on that heath," said his companion, " put behind every parch of shelter before us that could possibly conceal a crouching human form, a wounded soldier, and you will have a very clear idea of the field, supposing that soldier dead, as I s tev it myself on the morning after the light." He (the chair man) rejoined, " I suppose that the badly wounded men crept behind those bushes when they were struck, and got out of fire." " Well, in part for that reason," he said. " but only for a very small pert —because he had noticed that it became a kind of instinct for a badly wounded man to creep away and crawl behind any bit of shelter, and crouch, like some of the lower animals, and die alone." That picture im pressed his fancy very much :at the time, and since then, when he had passed through any of the highways of this vast London, or any other great town or city, he had hoped within himself that it might not be in peace as it was in war, and that many of the stricken among us might retire to these miserable places of refuge—might not coil them selves up in their wretched patches of shelter and die in the midst of us untended and alone. (Cheers.) The most prosperous and best cared for among men and women knew full well, that whosoever was tut in this great and continu ing battle of life, howsoever vast the gap might be that was made, howsover dear the companion might be that was down, they must close up their ranks and march up and fight out the fight. But it happened that the rank and file were many in number, and the chances against them were many and hard, and they necessarily died by the thousand, when the captains and the standard-bearers only died by ones and twos. (Cheers.) How these privates lived. and how they fought, and how they died, were questions of immense moment to the whole social army. (Hear, hear.) If they were not felt, in these later times —if they were not felt honestly and thoroughly to be so—there could be no doubt that our own ranks contained within them selves the subtle elements of swift destruction and disso lution. Accordingly, and because people in general were,- thank God I disposed to be humane, and to do right and to do good, this great capital teemed with institutions for the relief of the indigent sick. They were not, it was true, by any means equal to the dire need —they were not equal in capacity to the heavy demands upon them, but they were, nevertheless great institutions, many of them richly endowed, all of them nobly remaekable for the medical science and skill freely placed at their corn • mand. (Cheers.) Now, as he had to entreat their active in terest in aid of one of these, it might be right that he should try, always without depreciation or the shadow of disparage ment of the others, to show in what its peculiar claim con sisted. Happily for him the task was an easy one. Thedis tinguishing character of the Royal Free Hospital was amply expressed by its simple name. It was a free hospital—(hear, hear)—no recommendation was needed by the suffering creature who sought admission. No letter from a governor or subscriber, or what not, had with difficulty to be hunted out. (Hear, hear.) "Look at me, look at me; I am sick, poor, helpless, forlorn." These were the patient's creden tials. Was there anybody-present —was there anybody any where knowing that fact, whose fireside on a bleak winter night would not be brighter and warmer for the reflection that he had done something towards the maintenance of the hospital which afforded such an easy and accessible refuge? (Hear.) Was there a single court or alley in that great maze of courts and alleys which lay between them and the hospital itself that did not contain at that moment some poor warn creature to whom, as they were seated at abun dant tables, that hospital would be a haven of refuge and a dawning of hope? Well, with all these poor worn creatures, with their many crowded alleys and courts, with much distress, disease, and accidents prevailing, the Royal Free Hospital, that might prove so extensively ser viceable, contained not quite 100 beds. (Hear.) Though its sphere of action was so large, and the demands upon its resources so enormous, the out-patients amounted last year to no less than 60,000 persons. That very disheartening and desponding aspect of the case would be almost hopeless if it were tot for the very encouraging statement that could be set against it. For some years the hospital had been paying an annual rental of £2OO. It occurred to one of its most valuable supporters—(hear, hear)---a gentleman pre sent, whom he was proud to call his friend--(Mr. George Moore)—a gentleman of great business knowledge, of great influence, of great charity, and of great energy--(hear, hear) —that by an appeal to the munificence and liberality of the bankers and merchants of the City of London a suffi cient sum of money might be raised to buy the premises. Although that appeal was made at the time of the preva lence of the Lancashire distress, and although many other circumstances combined against its successful result—al though the sum of money proposed to be collected was to be counted not by hundreds but by thousands—though, in short, it amounted to £6,ooo—that gentleman's efforts had already produced the large sum of £ 4 ,ooo —(cheers)—and he most sincerely and earnestly hoped that when the result of that night's proceedings were declared by the treasurer, the meeting would be able to consider that the hospital was for ever and henceforth free, saved that rental charge of £2OO a-year, and for ever and henceforth established on its own unencumbered property —so that every shilling subscribed would be devoted to the immediate advancement of the objects of the institution and the alle viation of pain and misery. His own personal observation convinoed him that the hospital was capable of affording nearly five times the amount of accommodation for a con siderably less than proportionate increase of expense. The Royal Free Hospital was no case of a chateau en Espagne, no castle in the air ; it was no hospital of merely good in tentions which might be built some day. The thing was as real as the poor suffering creature who lay at the door-step. The remedy was as ready and the means of assuaging the suffering was at hand, if the public would only adequately contribute funds. There never vem so strong or so hopeful a case. He believed there were hundreds of well-dis posed people so struck at heart by the spectacle which the streets of this great city presented, that they would gladly do anything to set these things right, if they knew how, If they set up and maintained 500 beds they might be posi tively certain that five times five thousand human creatures would have laid down their wretched heads to recover or die within five years. For God's sake let them remember that those were the things which evoked the gratitude of the sick poor—that these were the moans by which, after all, they could bridge across that great deep gulf between their beds and ours as they all t en d e d t o the common road on which they must be equal travellers at last.

Proceeding along the Dee side to the T.Y.C. poet, Camel ino was observed to drop back (having broken down), and her place was taken by Caller On, who, with Asteroid at her girths, followed the leaders round the bridge turn, where Stradella was beaten and gradually gave way, leaving the issue of the race with the few who came in company to the entrance into the straight, where Haddington, next the rails, crept up to Gardener, who, hanging somewhat at the same moment, pre vented Doyle from getting through, the pair at the dis tance lacing joined by Asteroid, Caller Ou at the same ' time giving way beaten. The three raced together to half way up, when Asteroid in the most gallant manner got his head in advance, and won, amid the vociferous cheering of the spectators, by sa neck, a like distance separating the second and third.

In the evening his Excellency Mehemed Pacha, Captain Paella, gave a dinner on behalf of the Sultan, to the foreign admirals and captains and the foreign consuls on board the line-of-batt'e ship Peiki Z tier, which was attended by the grand dignitaries, the Ottoman captains, and the political commissioners of the province, Neshet Bey, and the vice president of the Cotton Commission, Mr. Hyde Clarke. The banquet was of a magnificent character, the Turkish dishes being supplied by the Sultan's cook, some from his own table, and the French dishes being cooked by the chef of Smyrna, M. Mille, of Mille's Hotel. The dinner was served in a banquet room made up with flags. The Sultan's band played choice airs during the banquet. After dinner coffee was served in the cups and richly jewelled zlifs of the Sultan. The guests were arranged, one Ottoman official and foreign guest alternately. To the right of the Captain Pacha sat the station admiral; to the left the French captain, representing the French Ad miral Touchard. Opposite the Captain Pacha sat his Highness Fuad Pacha, the Seraskier, having on his right Count Bentivoglio d'Arregon, French consul, and on his left Viscount d'Egremont, Bel gian consul. Her Britannic Majesty's consul sat near the French consul. Count Bentivoglio gave "'The Health of the Sul tan ;" Fuad Pacha, that of "The Sovereigns, Friends, and Allies of Tu ritey ;" and the Station Admiral Vacea, " Hie Highness Fuad Pacha, his Excellency Mehemed Pacha and the Ottoman Navy." The party broke up at a late hour. It was remarked that English was the language chiefly spoken at table on account of the many Ottoman and naval officers present. On Friday morning the Sultan landed from his yacht, and went in full Constantinople state to the Hissar Jamisi, to the great satisfaction of his Mus sulman suljects ; and he gave largess to the learned members of the Meoleh Haneh, commonly called dancing dervishes. The weather being very fine, instead of going by steam yacht to the railway pier, he went througn the streets in his carriage to the Caravan Bridge suburban station, which was hand somely decorated, and thence a few minutes brought him by train to the Bondjah station. Here he again entered his carriage, and was received by Count Bentivoglio d'Arragon, president of the Jockey Club, and M. E. A. Drew, the hon. secretary, and conducted to the Imperial tent, which was pitched on the race ground near the grand stand. The Sultan having given £250 and £5O a year to the race fund, these races were held in his honour, the regular spring meeting being fixed for next week, when Sir H. Bulwer is expected. The club and races were founded by the English, and some thorough English sport was shown, in which his Imperial Majesty took deep interest, this being his first racing experience. His Imperial Majesty is ex• ceedingly anxious to improve the breed of horses, The first race was chiefly by a large field of Arabs and half bloods, ridden by English ama teurs in jockey costume, thrice round the course, ending in a sharp contest between M. C. Van Lannep's horse Shannon, ridden by Mr. Charl ton Whittall, nephew, and Mr. Crampton's Slasher, ridden by Mr. Hutchinson, won by Mr. Whittall. A hurdle race followed, in which the two were again competitors, but Shannon got the benefit of a hurdle knocked down by a Turkish jockey Ishmal, and won by a neck. On the winner being paraded the Sultan sent to him a bag con taining £2so—Turkish pounds. His Imperial Majesty likewise sent a donation to Jem Smith, an English jockey, who had a heavy fall in taking a hurdle. The last race was a Bashi bazook race. The Sultan and suite rode off to Boojah, another town (or villegiatura), and full of beautiful villas, where the fine villa built by Mr. J. T. Wood, the architect, and the large garden planted with exotics belonging to Mr. D. Balltazzi, were prepared for his Impetial Majesty's dinner. His Imperial Ma jesty sent out to Mr. Baltazzi the decoration of the Mejidieh. The races having been numerously attended by ladies, and by the officers of the Eng lish, French, Italian, and Austrian men•of war, and foreign visitors, the hospitality of the English re sidents was largely and freely drawn upon. His Imperial Majesty took into consideration the means of carrying out the Booja.b Branch Railway. His Imperial Majesty returned to the Boojah station on horseback, and thence by train to the great station, which was fresh decorated and the works illuminated. On passing into the throne-room at the station his Imperial Majesty stopped some time to receive the Imperial spade, delivered to him by his Highness Fuad Pacha, and in reading the Turkish inscription in silver commemorating its use in beginning the new works at Ayasolook. Another ovation awaited the Sultan in Frank street, and in passing through the picturesquely lighted bazaars. His Imperi3l Majesty, by his frank and noble bearing, his energy and courtesy of man ner, has won the hearts of man, woman, and child in Smyrna, with many almost to adoration. Led away by the enthusiasm around, every now and then etiquette was thrown aside, and the hearty salutations returned. This (Saturday) morning the Imperial yacht was got under way. The last measure of his Imperial Majesty was to direct the plantation at Constanti nople and Smyrna of tree cotton seed, received yes terday by the United States mail, and give direc tions about various measures for promoting existing institutions in Smyrna and forming new ones. The Imperial yacht, Capt. Razim Bey, was followed out of the harbour by the Ottoman, French, and Italian squadrons with the usual salutes, and has just passed the Castle. The enthusiasm excited by the Sultan has pre vented that attention being devoted to his Highness Fuad Pacha which under other circumstancea the claims of that great statesman on the gratitude of ail in the Turkish empire demand; but whenever he was seen alone loud cheers greeted him. His courteous and kindly offices have tended even to promote the enthusiastic loyalty of all classes to- 1 wards the Sultan.

POISONED GRAIN.—Mr. Pault's bill, now before the House of Commons, imposes a penalty on knowingly and wilfully selling or exposing for sale, or purchasing, p ison, or grain which has been steeped in poison, or with which poison has been so mixed as to render it calculated to destroy life, with intent that it should be used for injuring or destroying birds or animals. A penalty is also imposed • n i knowingly and wilfully sowing such poison or poisoned grain. tcoahelanea,udisig W beeahodildc i t,s t soyoa n fr e ao s en s e,e s r a i i s ( ) l awi h i e v et i w rhi a et s t hi i in clin ed n : e sf d to think an Englishman.

A large white cambric handkerchief was also in the pocket ; one corner was torn off, evidently by design, and with the view of getting rid of a name or initials. The Coroner directed that it should be shown to e relatives of the murdered woman, The proceedings were then adjourned. --- ----- ANOTHER FRIGHTFUL DEATH Tnnoucir CRINO LINE.—The circumstance of another shocking death through crinoline were investigated before Mr. Payne, the Southwark coroner, on Tuesday evening, at Guy's Hospital. It appeared that a young woman, named Catherine . Odell, on Monday aged 26, was in service with a Mrs. Doggett, at Elizabeth Cottage, St. James'. -place, Kent-road. On Friday she went into the coal cellar with a candle, which she placed a sad illustra teolyhecronsuvrfeyereidngtos G on the ground while she stopped to get some coals.

The Cup day invariably attracts a great influx of visitors from all parts of England, and to .day was no exception to the rule. The different excursion trains brought their loads from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and else where, and towards mid-day the town began to swarm with persons from the neighbcurhood, driving every sort of nondescript vehicle. Usually o n th e morning of the Cup day a fair amount of speculation takes p'ace, and a great diversity of opinion exists as to the merits of the different animals engaged. Not so, however, this morning, for almost every one thought the same concerning Stradella— that if she were in the same form as at Newmarket there was nothing in the race could beat her at the weights they had respectively to carry. Consequently she remained very firm in the betting. There are always to be found men who follow different stables, and those who invariably do so with Sir Joseph Hawley's stuck to the highest weighted animal in the race, Asteroid, and took as little as 6 to 1 about him. Caller Ou remained very steady, but the bet ting was chiefly confined to these three. The first race fell to the favourite, who won in a canter. Very little interest was manifested in the next event, which preceded the great race of the day, and the fact that the time for deciding the question was drawing so near caused increase in the excite ment, and consequently the betting was much more brisk. Caller Ou was backed at 9 to 2, while 6 to 1 was taken freely about Asteroid, and 8 to 1 was laid against Had dington. Several others that were supposed by the learned to have no earthly chance also came under notice in the bet ting room. These comprised The Plover, Cowley, Came rino, who broke down on rounding the Workhouse turn the second time, Gardener, Fitz-Avon, M. Philippe, and Black Deer. As a full description of the race will be given below, we will abstain from making any comments in this place. Suffice it to say that the winner, with the steady ing weight of 9st 41b en his back, has proved himself one of the best horses of his day. He was most patiently and judiciously ridden by Wells, and at the finish of the race won rather cleverly. The 101 b. extra weight on H iddington proved fatal to his chance, as from the man ner in which the race was won it looks almost a cer tainty that he would have reversed the position of affairs. That he ran an extremely good horse, as also did Gar dener, cannot be denied. The favourite took a most in glorious part in the race, never appearing in a particularly forward place, and being one of the first beaten. Poor Mr. Manning, who trains for Sir Joseph Hawley, but has been subject to fits for some time back, when Well's weight had been pronounced by the clerk of the scales " right" had another visitation of this complaint. H e was immediately carried from the weighing room into the open air, and was soon got pretty well again. The remainder of the races were devoid of any extra amount of interest, and as the running will be found below, we need make no special mention of them here. The rain continued during the day.

Several failures were occasioned by the over anxiety of the riders of Fontenoy, Oberon, and Cutaway to get away in front. When the flag was lowered Fontenoy jumped away with a slight lead, but in a few strides he was headed by Eidolon, who came on with the running, Fontenoy lyin g second, Oberon third, with the favourite and Cutaway lying up.

J THE SULTAN'S VISIT TO SMYRNA. On Thursday morning, April 23, the Sultan ended and held a "rikeab" at the provincial palace. O❑ the right of the throne the Mussulman mollahs and functionaries were marshalled by his Excellency Kiamel Bey; on the left the Greek, Armenian, Protestant, ar.d Jewish ecclesiastical and civil heads of the communities, and in front the commis sioners and corporations in which the Europeans take part. The place of honour on the right was given to the Imperial Cotton Commission headed by Mr. H. Clarke, vice-president; Mr. Paterson, Mr. J. Whittall, Mr. J. Youl, &e. Then the Imperial Railway Commission, headed by Colonel Rechad Bey, the Provincial Council, the members of the Mixed Criminal Court, those of the Cadastre or Municipal Commission, and those of the Court of Tij are or Tribunal of Commerce. The grand dignitaries of the empire, his Highness Fuad Pacha, his Highness Mabmoud Pacha, his Excellency the Captain Pacha, &c., stood oil the right of the throne, with Kiamil Bey below, On his Imperial Majesty ascending the throne he took forth a paper from which he read a speech in Turkish to his Highness Fuad Pacha, etiquette for bidding that be should speak aloud, but after the first few moments his voice was without difficulty heard even by the furthest attendants. His Impe rial Majesty having handed the speech to Fuad Pacha, his highness read it aloud. The speech pub lished in French is not quite the same as that de livered by the Sultan. He spoke something to the following effect :—He referred to his constant efforts for the advancement of his country and all classes of his people, without distinction, and with that object alone had he visited his subjects. He had at once gone to Azasolook (Ephesus) to take the first step towards carrying on the new railway works; and with the blessing of Providence Aidin would be reached, and no effort of his would be wanting to effect that object. The illustrious city (neshshoon memleket) of Smyrna was a great centre of the commerce of the empire. He had before visited it with his brother the Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid, and he was gratified with seeing its astonishing pro gress, but he was no less delighted at the enthusi astic welcome given to him, as well by all classes of his subjects as by the merchants and other foreigners. The communications already opened, and those in progress, would greatly contribute to the promotion of agriculture and trade, and he would give every assistance, not only for the exten sion of the railway to Aidin, but for the advance ment of other undertakings. He spoke of the satisfactory appearance of the scholars of the public schools of all sects. The productions of the province were valuable and abundant, and the cotton cultiva tion was a great source of wealth for commerce. He expressed his satisfaction with the labours of the Cotton Commission and the co-operation of the in habitants. He urged on all his officers, and on all the leading inhabitants of the province, to co-operate for their common benefit and that of the empire. Feelings of gratitude could not.be expressed, but no one was unmoved, as when the Sultan looked around to each group with_ his eye all saluted. The presentation of the authorities was prevented by the Raman Catholic archbishop obtaining by foreign influence an audience of the Sultan on the palace stairs After the levee the Sultan proceeded in a carriage, 'ollowed by the Imperial Princes and suite, through ,he city to the railway, passing through the railway riumphal arch at the level crossing, where com mands were given to the railway officials for races on the morrow. Passing along the turnpike road constructed for the Bournabat Road Company by Mr. Crampton, his Imperial Majesty noticed that several of the trees planted by that gentleman had been dedicated to him, and he expressed his wish that the road should be completely planted as a public promenade for Smyrna, towards which his Imperial Majesty contributed £lOO. Proceeding at a rapid pace along that line of road, the Sultan reached the town of Bournabat, one of the country residences of the merchants. Here, by the arrange ment of Fuad Pacha, two villas had been prepared for him—that of Mr. Whittall, director of the rail way, remarkable for its beautiful gardens, and that of Mr. Paterson, of the Cotton Commission, being the finest villa in the country. The Sultan gave the precedence to Mr. Whit tall, as of right, he being what is called here the " doyen" of the English colony, and hav ing supported its honour by munificent hospi tality to every crowned bead and prince who has visited Smyrna of late years, with the excep tion of the Prince of Wales, who by some miii• management was taken another route. The mem bers of the family had quitted the house to placel the it at the disposal of the Sultan, leaving n kitchen servants. His Imperial Majesty shortly after entering requested that Mr. Whittall should remain in his own house, and conver sed with him. The Sultan spent several hours in the house, kiosk and gardens, and consequently did not visit M r. Paterson. On leaving, his Imperial Majesty per sonally addressed Mr.Whittall, thanking him ; Mr, Whittall answered that he felt the visit to him w as a compliment to the English community, whose countrymen were his constant allies. The Sultan left £lOO for the servants, which Mr. Whittall d e voted to tho children of th e G reek and other schools of the town. On returning, the contractor's works were bril liantly illuminated, as was the whole city, and as the Sultan passed through the Armenians spread carpets before him in the main streets, and the bands of the French and Italian fleets played.
