/if !SR VISITORS AT SYDENRAM. —The Danish
workmen and artiste who have recently arrived on hoard
the Hekk were yesterday entertained at dinner at the
Crystal Palace. Nearly 400 parsons sat down to plain
but substantial fare, served in the south wing
dining-room. The chair was occupied by the Danish
Ambassador, his Excellency Torben De Bilk, who was
supported by Mr. Westeoholz, the Danish Consul ; Kr.
Itimeata4. one of the most eminent members of the
Danish parliament ; and Professor Hummel ; who are
the leaders of the expedition ; sod many other
Danish gentlemen of distinction. The chief toasts
were the "Health of the King of Denmark," pro-
posed by the ambassador ; "Her Majesty the Queen of Eng-
land," by Professor Hummel; "Our Guests," by Mr.
Westenholz ; and "The Danes in London," by Mr. Rime-
sled. 00., speaker observed, with a touch of grim burnout,
that he believed there had not been so many Danes in
England since the days of Canute ; but that their object
was very different, and that they came as hearty friends.
After dinner the party promenaded through the grounds,
preceded by a few enthusiasts, who carried the old " Dan-
nehroc," the national flag of Denmark, high in air. Owe.
siooally a halt took place and • speech was made, the
cheering being of • heartiness such as is seldom met with.
Patriotic Danish wogs—soup to the army and the navy—
were given lustily forth ; and ere long our own " God save
the Queen " was snag in swapper that very clearly showed
it was no unfamiliar tune to the choristers.

REMOVAL or ST. TuomAa's HOSPITAL, AND THE
CHANINO-CROSS RAILWAY. —The bill now under the con-
sideration of Lord Redesdale, and about to be referred for
inquiry to a committee of the House of Commons, is to
en►ble the Lord Mayor and corporation of London and the
governors of St. Thomas's Hospital to convey the site of it
to the railway company, and to acquire a new site else-
where. Doubts having arisen as to the ability of the
governors to sell the hospital, the Charing-cross Railway
Company have objected that the governors are not em.
powered soto do, and that as it hoe been judicially settled it
is desirable that all double thereon should be dissipated and
set at rest. After reciting the charter of Edward VI., and
stating that the purchase•mooey for the hospital, amount-
ing to 296.0001., has been paid by the railway company into
the Court of Chancery, the bill asks for statutory powers to
uonfirm the agreement and to erect a new hospital on a
new site, and to raise in addition 50,00 W. for the purposes of
the act.

—RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLIA-
HENT.—Yceterday, in the Lords, the bill for the Mid-Bent
sod Addispoombe Railway was passed. The Mayor of
Newport and other witnesses were examined on the West
Midland Company's Bill, and Mr. Rowbotham, manager of
the North British, in favour of the amalgamation of that
company with the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and West
of Fife. The opposition of landowners and of the inhabitants
of Cheltenham is now on in the committee on the East of
Gloucestershire Railway, and the promedings on the Stafford
and Uttoxeter have also reached that stage. The Loudon,
Chatham, and Dover Company's extensions to Deal and
Dover and St. Mary's Cray, the Llanidloes and Newtown,
Mid-Wales and Sfambesterland Milford, Birkenhead, Car,
donian and Bristol and South Wales Union Railway Bilk
were passed in Lord Redesdale's committee. In the Com-
mons, the case in promotion of the Ellesmere and Oswestry
lines was concluded; and the opposition of Lord Browalow
was opened in evidence.
THE LIVERPOOL SCHOOL FRIGATE CONWAY.—The
school frigate Conway, which has now beau established for
three years in the Mersey, under the direction and manage-
ment of the Local Mercantile Marisa) Association, has beers
so successful that the average number of boys in attendance
now exceeds 100. The design of the institution is to train
and educate, at a moderate cost, respectable boys for officers
in the merchant navy, and to infuse an elevated spirit into
that branch of commerce by the introduction of officers who
shall not only be thorough sailors, but have the feelings and
habits of gentlemen. Yesterday the annual distribution of
prizes took place on the deck of the Conway, Sir
John Pakington making the awards. A large number
of distinguished strangers and others had been in-
vited to attend, including the Earl of Shrews-
bury, the Right Houourahle Mr. Corry, Captain
Sir John D. Hay. R.N.. the Hon. Captain Talbot, R.N.,
Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, M.P., Admiral Evans (govern.
ment conservator of the Mersey), Mr. T. B. Borstal, M.P.,
Mr. John Laird, M.P., kat. There were also present some
of the leading shipowners and merchants connected with
the port, and a large somber of ladies. The Conway Boys.
in their smart naval uniforms, were drawn up " two deep"
on the deck, and their healthy sod sailorlike appearance
and trim were remarked upon with pleasure by all. The
prizes, which consisted of 'maks, nautical instruments, ke.,
were awarded for proficiency in seamanship, mathematics,
nautical astronomy, and the use of nautical instruments;
while the association presented a gold medal to the youth
who manifested the greatest general profiviency in all the
departments of training sod education conducted on board
the school frigate.
DEPARTURE OF TEI GREAT EASTERN FOR NEW
YORK.—The Groat. Eastern yesterday left Liverpool for
New York with a large number of passengers and about
1.18)0 tons of fine goods. A great number of people ma'am-
bled on the lauding stages and elsewhere to witness her de-
partiire. The Great Estero is likely to absorb a very large
' aniouut of the passenger traffic between Liverpool and
Amerika. The directors have adopted the return ticket
I system. and this advantage, coupled with the superior ac-
commodation afforded on this gigantic vessel, are already
beginning to rep" the trade of the other transatlantic
I boats, and numbers of people who have formerly been in
the habit of pitronisiug other steamers take berths in the
great ship.
THE LATE CHARGE OF WIFE-POISONINO AT
KIHOHTSBRIDGE.—A public meeting took place at the Duke
of Wellington's Riding-school, Knightsbridge, last evening,
to coosiderthe propriety of expreesiol public sympathy with
Mr. Phillips, the extensive horse-dealer at Knightsbridge,
and iodiguatiou at the charge lately brought against bim,
of poisoning his wife. The Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Gough-
house, Chelsea, presided. The reverend chairman opened
the proceedings by reading letters apologising for unavoid.
able absence of the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Ernest
Bruce, and other distioguiebed persons, and exerted's of
their sympathy and entire concurrence with the object of
• the meeting. The following resolu.ion was unanimously
adopted :—" That this meeting, consisting of the frien&
and neighbours of Mr. Henry Richard Phillips, desirous of
expressing their feeling of indignation at the recent unjust
and grooodlees charges brow-lit against him, takes this
opportunity of showing the deep sympathy they have felt
for him io his distressiag position, and their extreme grata-
fication that on a full investigation of the case before the
coroner, at Kemal-green, June t 3, 1862, it was declared
by that officer and the fury, that there was no foundation
whatever for these charges."
