name, and it wee some days before be knew who 1s was;
but he ultimately told the prosecutor that he wee the Hon.

When be had been there about four days, a letter came
addressed to the Hon. Hairy Bedford. which prosecutor
took up into the drawing•roorn to prisoner; the latter

D— it, It. only a cheque for a hundred," and threw it

that prosecutor thought he was going to tear the cheque up.
Prisoner represses that this cheque came from his aado
residing in Beipsvonquare, who was di/satisfied with him
for the irregular life he led. Boon ahem/4 his went out
to dine with this relative, and upon returning said that his
uncle had told him that if he kept the cheque for 100/. for

of it and not place it to his accoant. At this time he bad no

prates to cash a large eheque, sued offered to take it to the

ROYAL SEA-BATHING INFIRMARY MARGATE.
A diaper in aid of the funds of this valuable charity took
place at the London Tavern on Tuesday evesiog. In the
absence of the lord Mayor who coosidered it a duty to be
present in his place in the Home of Commons in defence el
mvio interests, Sir Brook Brydgee presided. The chairman
said, many of the patients were little boys and girls, and be
was sure that it would be gratifying to know that the care and
attention which were lavished upon them led to a gratifying
result. Out of 701 in.pattente during last year, no less
than 462 had been cured or greatly benefited, and only
15 had died. 881 out-patieuta had also received the bene-
fits of this institution, of whom 723 had been cured, ar
greatly benefited, 17 only bad died, while 109 still re-
mained under the care of the hospital. The institution
use peculiarly adapted to relieve the sufferings of the
&Dimas of the narrow city alleys, whose poverty and want of
pure air too °Boo ioduced the worst formed scrofulous disease.
In inviting the sasetubly to drink prosperity to the Royal
Bea-Bathing Infirmary for the cure of the scrofulous poor of
all England, the bon. baronet coupled the toast with the
name of a gentleman who had done most to promote its
prosperity—the Rev. Jobe Hedgroo. The rev. gentleman,
who is the priocipal member of the committee of manage-
ment, in returning thanks, gave some interesting details of
the progress of the hospital during the part two years. He
coogratulated the meeting on the fact of a nun of
1,5201. 9s, ld, being raised hat year from a 6s. per annum
subscription list, being 301, more than had been derived
from the same source the year before. The accommodation
in the hospital bad been tocreased from 900 to 250 beds ;
while, instead of being opened only dosing the eureeser
months, as heretofore, it had been kept open for the entire
year. The freedom from fever and erysipelas sod low me
et mortality had no doubt arisen from the complete and
effective system of drainage which had been earned out.
The appeal on behalf of the charity was principally ea
&coons% of the extensive work* which were being carried
oe te secure the ground upon which the hospital Wands from
the further encroachments of the sus. During the wires
of the evening the treasurer announced that 75W. had bean
subscribed towards this expenditure.
