missioners of the Great Exhibition for 1851, have received
the rewards purchased for them, with the 6001. voted by

were employed at the Exhibition.
BEAM OF GENERAL SIR FREDERICK P. Itontx-
80N, O.C.B.—This distinguished. general officer died at
Brighton (where he had long resided) on the Ist inst., at
the advanced age of 88 years. His first commission in the
army was as ensign in the 17th Foot, and was dated so
far beck as the 11th September, 1778. lie became a lieute-
nant in 1779, a captain in 1794, a major in the same year,
a lieutenant-colonel in 1800, a colonel in 1810, a major-
general in 1813, a lieutenant-general in 1825, and a general
in 1841. The late Sir F. Robinson served five years in
the first American war, and was present in the several
battles fought during that period. Subsequently, in
1794, he served in the West Indies, and was pre-
sent at the capture of Martinique, St. Lucia, and
Guadeloupe ,- also at the storming of Fleur d'Epie
and the heights of Palmiste. In 1812, then
Colonel Robinson, he joined the army in the Peninsula,
and was present at the action of Osmar, and in the
battle of Vittoria, in 1813. He commanded the brigade
which carried the village of Gamasza Mayo, without firing
one shot. He was also present at the first and second as-
saults on San Sebastian (severely wounded at the second
assault),thepasuge of the Ilidassoa,the grand reconnoissance
before Bayonne, the battle of the Nice (again severely
wounded), the blockade of Bayonne, and the repulse of the
sortie from that place, when he succeeded to the command
of the sth division of the army In June 1814, Major-
General Robinson went to North America in command of
a brigade, and be commanded the forces intended for the at-
tack of Plattsburg, but received orders to retire after having'
forced the passage of the Saranac. Soon afterwards be was
appointed commander-in-chief and provisional governor of
the upper provinces, which appointment he held until
June 1816. He had received the gold medal with two
clasps for Vittoria, San Sebastian, and the Nice. In 1815
he was nominated a Knight Commander of the Bath, and
in 1838 became a knight grand cross of that order. lie
was in 1814 appointed Colonel of the 2nd Garrison Bat-
talion, which was subsequently disbanded. In 1827 Sir
Frederick Robinson obtained the colonelcy of the 59th
Regiment, and in 1840 was removed to that of the 39th,
which is now vacant by his decease. The late Sir Frederick
Robinson was, according to the dates of his commissions,
the oldest officer in the British army.
BOTANICAL SOCLETY or LONDON.—Tho usual
monthly meeting of this society was held last evening at
the society's rooms, 20, Bedford-street, Strand, John E.
Gray, Esq., F.R.S., President, in the chair. In pursuance
of the power vested in the president by the laws of the
society, he nominated J. Mien, Esq., F.R.S., and A. lien-
frey, Esq., F.L.S., vice-presidents. Donations of some
thousands of specimens of British plants were announced
by the secretary; these will be distributed to the members
next month. A. communication was reed from Mc Baker,
" On three species of Hieracium, not described in the third
edition of the London Catalogue of British Plants."
ROYAL ORTLIONEDIC HOSPITAL —Ytvterdayafter-
noon a meeting of the committee of this valuable institution
was held at the board-room' in Bloomsbury-square, for the
transaction of the general business of the charity. From
the report it appeared that the number of patients applying
for the cure of the more severe deformities had consider-
ably increased, and upwards of 300 cases beyond the num-
ber the present hospital can accommodate were on the
book' waiting their turn of admission. The cues permit-
ing operation and out-door treatment had also much in-
censed, but there being no hindrance (such as limited beds)
to their immediate relief, there was no difficulty in extend-
ing the benefits of the charity to that clew of patients.
Strong hopes were expressed that at no distant period the
committee would be enabled to afford the obviously needed
extension of accommodation ; and it having been stated
. - -

that sufficient hands was Only needed fo;that desirable
object, some routine business was passed, and the meeting
separated.
VIE CENSORSHIP AND THE BOURSE.—The lead_
ing journals of Paris have been in the habit of publishing
every Monday a weekly review of Bourse operations, with
a summary of the movement during the past week, account-
ing for its fluctuations, and indicating the probable move-
ment of the next. These articles had, of course, noticed the
late considerable rise in the funds as in the other public se-
curities ; they expressed their anticipation of a reaction ;
and they earnestly urged speculators to keep themselves on
the reserve. It is stated that these articles have been sup-
pressed by the censor, wko, however, has treated all with
impartial severity. The absence of the usual weekly no-
tice, and the interference of the censorship in the operations
of the stockmarket, has been much remarked on ; and has
given rise to various interpretations.
TROOPS FOR THE CAPE.—Dover has been thronged
with an influx of strangers to witness the departure of the
Rifle Brigade ordered from that garrison to the Cape. Tho
Duke and Duchess Dowager of Bedford, Marquis of Wor-
cester, Lords Howe, Dartmouth, ltadstock, Deneral Sir
Alex. Woodford, and several military officers of high rank,
with their families, are among those assembled. No troops
ever left the country with more anxious and hearty wishes
for their welfare and success. They embark in the Illegem
steam troop-ship in those roads.
RE-ADJUSTMENT OF RENTS.—The Marquis of
Anglesey has instructed the agent of his lordship's estates
in the county of Louth to make an abatement of 20 per
cent. on the rents now paid by tenants at will.
Loss or FOUR LIVES AT I'ORTEINON.—A melon-
choly occurrence, by which four lives were sacrificed, took
place at Porteinon, yesterday. It appears that a dredging
boat, the property of a man named John Chalk, had just
left the dredging ground in company with several other
boats, some of which were only a short distance from it.
A heavy sea set in from the west, in which the boat was
swamped, although this was not observed at the timo
by the other men, who were engaged with their own boats.
Nothing has since been seen of the unfortunate men, but no
doubt can be entertained that all perished. Their names
were John Chalk, the father of the owner of the boat, an
elderly man, who had not been out for several weeks pre-
viously, John Jenkins, James Rees, and John Jones. We
regret to learn that all have left families to bewail their
sudden bereavement. None of the bodies have as yet been
