UNIVERSITY COLLEGE ROSPITAL.

(nom ram

Last night a dinner is aid of the funds of this
hospital was given at the Freemasons' Tavern ; Earl
Gaanvn.i.l in the chair. Among the company present
were the Hon. IL Denman, the Right Hon. Sit B. Ryan,
the Right Hon. B. Strait, Sir R. W. Carden, Colonel
dyke*, F. H. Goldsmid, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Mobbing, G. F.
Gibm, Esq , J. Taylor, Esq., James Booth, Esq., Dr. Gar-
rod, Dr. Sharkey, Dr. Parkes, Dr. Walshe, Ac. The din-
ner was good, the music was good, and the chairman most
efficient; end indeed the melt of the dieser maybe eon-
sidered entirely satiefaittory, for upwards of 1,1/71. was
collected. We could wish to be able to enter into
detail more than our space enables ne to do. The Ching- I
man, in the coarse of his various speeches, was
several times very happy in his allusioas. He made •
graceful referent"' to the groat speech of the octogenarian
Lord Lyudhunt, whom he had just been listening
to; and by way of allowing the company an equal
treat, he called up Mr. Bobiason, another octogenarian,
to propose the health of the eouncil, which that gen-
tleman did is excellent style, Bir E. Ryan returning
thanks. Frail the chairman's speech oa the toast
of the evening, " The Prosperity of the lesaltation," it ap-
peared that the in-patients admitted into the hospital during
the year amounted to 1,309, the out-pitiente to .4,601, the
number of lying-in women attended at their own homes to
435, the ophthalmic eases to 769, and the casualties to 9,700.
The expenditure amounted last year to 6,2561., the greater
part of which was met by about 1,20(1. for medical isstrac-
tion, 2,8001. from donations and sabscriptious, and 2,0001.
borrowed. The institution has only 9161. funded. As the
Chairman slid, " the utility, selebrity, and most other good
things winneoted with the hospital had increased, bat eo
also had ems bad thing, the debt, which now amounted
to 6,0001." To rodeos this was one of the objects
of the dinner yesterday. We hope that this ob-
ject may be fulfilled ; as not oily is the institu-
tion valuable as a hospital, and as a school of
medicine of established malaise, but as being part of •
college which took the lead in asserting the principle of
religious freedom in matters of edstation. The council
therefore could not have chosen a mote appropriate chair-
man than the President of the Council, who may be said
to be the Minister of P•biie Instruction, in so far as the
office exists at all in this isometry.

EVENING, MARCH 21, 1855.

FRANCE.

-....LCIFT OF vu DAILY )taws.)
PARIS, TOISDAT 11V3MINO.
This morning the Emperor reviewed • lap body
of the Imperial Guard, numbering from 81000 to
18 000. The infantry were drawn up in the court
jatd of the Tuileries, the cavalry on the Place du
Carrousel. The troops consisted of two battalion, of
Voltigeun, two battalions of Grenadiers, two batta-
Huns of Foot Gendarmerie, the squadron of Cent
Garden, and four squadrons of Guides. The Empe-
ror rode along the lines followed by Prince Napoleon,
Marshals Valliant and Magnan, the Prussian General
Baron de Wedel, the Austrian General de Crease-
ville, and a brilliant staff of generals and aides-de-
amp. The Empress looked on from the balcony.
After rapidly reviewing the front ranks the Emperor
distributed several military rewards, and then took
up a position in front of the Pavillon de l'Horloge,
miters soldiers of the Cent Garde' were drawn up,
bearing new standards about to be presented to the
troops on the ground. The colonels commanding
battalions advanced to the !lags, and the Emperor
addressed them as follows:
Soldiers,—The army is the true mobility of mar country.
It preserves intact from age to ap the traditions of glory
and natioaal honour. nutters this (pnlade' to the
colours) is your genealogical tree ! It marks a new vietery
for every generation. Take, the,, them colours. I con-
fide them to your honour, your courage, and year
patriotism.

After the delivery of this speech etch colonel, fol-
lowed by a Cent Garde, bearing the standard, re-
turned to the head of his battalion, and pronounced a
few words, informing his men of what the Emperor
had said. The cries of " Vire I'M:margin" were very
loud. The Empress made a present of 10fr. to every
soldier on the ground.
It was very generally expected that if the Empe-
ror made a speech he would make some allusion to
his approaching departure, but you will perceive that
he did not let fall a word to throw any light upon
this vexed subject. Everybody says to-day that the
" Emperor is going," but the question is now asked,
where ? The rumour which you reported as current
in London, that he was going to pay a visit to the
Queen of England, is very prevalent in Paris to-day,
but is discredited by many. I cannot find that any-
thing is known for certain as to the Imperial ioten-
tions. Preparations for a campaign in the Crimes
still go on, and little more can be said. The Empress
is reported to have said to a group of officers, " You
will start before us, but we shall get there before you."
The Bourse was agitated in consequence of the
grand review, which was looked upon as a precursor
of the Emperor's departure for the seat of war.
There was a rally at the close, but the Rents fell
70fr., fini►hing at 68fr. 80c., after having been as low
as 68fr. 60e. Railways were not affected in the same
proportion, but most of the lines fell.

The following important telegraphic despatch has
jest arrived:

FIANZPORT. TOUDAY, MARCH 20.

Loititeur relative to the declaration which be is said to have
made to the Diet. His states that slush a declaration not
