CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

Tub Governors of Christ', Hospital who are
friendly to the reforms in that institution, recom-
mended by the Select Committee appointed on the
19th of last December, ought to be on the alert. A
Court is to be held on the Ist of May to consider the
Committee's report, and to inquire "Whether any,
and, if any, what changes are desirable in the Con-
stitution, Power., and Duties of the Committee of
Almoners P" The decision come:to by the Court on
this question will go far to decide whether or not
any reform of Christ's Hospital is to be effected.
In making this remark we beg to dis-
claim any intention to throw out offensive
imputations against the body of Almoners.

these gentlemen we entertain a high opinion. We
believe that all of them are as sincerely desirous to
promote the interests of the Hospital, as the Governors
with whom we concur in opinion. But we believe
