QUEEN ADELAIDE NAVAL FUND.

Yesterday a grand fancy bazaar in aid of this fund
(established for the relief t f the orphan daughters of officers
of the royal navy and marines) was held at the Royal Hos-
pital, Greenwich, under the especial netronsge of her Ma-
jesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess
of Kent, the Duchess of Cambridge, and many of the most
distinguished members of the nubility. The event was
evidently regarded in the town as one of unusual import-
sues, and the approaches to the hospital were gaily deco-
rated with Bags and other ornaments appropriate to an
exhibition of this nature ; whilst the spacious quadrangle
of the building was occupied by a very large concourse of
people, we angst whom were many ladies of rank and dis-
tinction. The scene was one of considerable interest, and
it seemed • matter of doubt whether the great attrac-
tion of the day was to he found in the promenade
on the green sward or in the interior of the building, where
the important objects of the day's pleasure were more espe-
cially promoted. One entire wing of the hospital wu de-
voted to the purposes of the bazaar, and although the space
appeared somewhat limited, owing to the large influx of
company, the effect was at once brilliant and picturesque.
The stalls were presided over by the Merchioness of Has-
tings , the Viscountess Valenti., the La .y Caroline Legge,
Lady Mary Legge, Lady Anne Legge, the Hon. Lady
Capel, Lady Adam, Lady Beaufort, Lady Hart, and other
ladies of title distinguished for their devotion to charitable
objects. Their ladyships discharged the duties imposed
upon themselves with is amount of seal and earnestness ,
which would have done honour to many a
" stall-keeper" whose object was to secure "custom"

sloes of the building. The results of the day's entertain-
ment meet, if we mistake not, have been satisfactory to the

carried es with equal sumer.

EXPENSE OF THE 111111111 ET ORDERLY SYSTEM.—

of street cleansing the eitisens will end that they must pay

applieatams were then disposed of, and the reports of the
inspectors read aid received.
THE PLACltrit.—lt is stated that much apprehen-
sion is felt in New Orleans of the approach of a new disease,
which is called the plague, and is now said to ho prevailing
in some of the West India Islands. A dhease called by
the same name has made its appearance in some parte of
the west. It is said to be like the cholera, but more fatal.
Whether it is the same disease as that which goes by
name of plague in the east, is not stated. The
Medical Josonsal alludes to the subject as follows :
" It is certain, from the accounts received both here and in
England, the true plague has been introduced into Madeira,
and the work of death has been really appalling. The ques-
tion was frequently agitated—will that dreadful disease ever
reach this continent / There is reason to believe it will ;
the wonder is, why it has not already. Our commercial
intercourse is extensive with various parts of Atria' and
