ROYAL ORTHOINEDIC HOSPITAL, 315, OX PORD-
sTREET—The Right Rev. Bishop Tracer, D. D., late Bishop
of Glasgow, preached yesterday (Sunday) morning, at St.
John's Church, Paddiugton on behalf of the funds of thin
charity. His lordihip pointed out that the hos-
pital aim its establishment had benefited upwards of
25,000. including adults discharged with straight and useful
limbs after being unable to walk or stand for more than 20
years. To show the continuous increase of patients the
number admitted last year was nearly 500 more than in
1860. About 1,900 were now under treatment, and 120
severe calm waiting for admission. The committee, how-
ever, in their anxiety to meet these pressing claims, had re-
solved to admit six additional in-patients, earnestly hoping
that the public will assist them with the metes to defray the
extra outlay thus incurred. The right rev. prelate con-
cluded with an eloquent and powerful appeal, which re-
sulted in a liberal collection from the congregation.
FAILURE OF A CONVERSION OPERATION In PRIM-
SIA.—A Berlin letter gives the following It It may be
remembered that some months back the Prussian govern.
ment ordered by decree the conversion of the Four-and-a-
Half per Cent. Bente into Four per Cents. That measure
was at first attacked by the opposition as illegal ; it was ob-
served that if the conversion did not succeed completely,
the Treasury would have to reimburse the stock at par, and
that in consequence the government would be obliged to
submit the measure to the approbation of the chamber.
That eventuality has arisen. Out of a capital of 30 million
thalen, about 14 millions have not been coeverted, and the
expenses of the reimbursement for that capital amount to
134,000 thaws (515,000 f.) In the committee on the budget
the Minister of Finance explained that conversion would be
impossible, or that it would muse prejudice to the Trea-
sury if it were necessary to demand the preliminary man
of the chamber; hut the committee, while granting the ex-
penses of the reimbursement, claimed for the chamber the
