THE ARRIVAL OF THE 50TH REGIMENT PROM
lonia.—On Wednesday evening, the 12th inst., the right
wing of the 30th Regiment (the Queen's Own) marched
into Chatham barracks from the terminus of the Gravesend I
and Rochester railway from Gravesend, where they diem.
barked at the Custom-house quay from the ship Sutlej, of
500 tons burthen, Captain Pariah. Its strength consists
of seven serjeants, three drummers, and seventy rank and
file, with seven women and eight children. The troops are
decorated with medals for their late military achievements
on the Sutlej with the Sikh army, and are under command •
of Brevet-Major G. F. Long, who was the only senior
officer left unwounded, when be took command, and led
gallantly the remaining portion of his regiment into
Lahore. The other officer, who are with this divi- '
sion are Captain Harry W. Hough, and Lieutenant
James O. Smyth, Lieutenant R. Hyde Page, and Assistant
Surgeon W. Baler Young. This detachment sailed on the
6th of February last, and on the 31st of March they arrived
opposite to the Cape, and suddenly the gales came on,
which increased with such extreme violence, that the ship
appeared unmanageable, the sea making over her, and,
owing to the powerful wind, she lost all her masts, and all
hands on board were pumping and bailing the water out of
the ship, the women working as hard as the men; indeed,
every one on board considered that she must sink.l
By perseverence they in a manner jury.maated her, and
hosted all sail they were able; and thus succeeded in getting
into the Cape on the 10th of April, and the only lite lost
was a sailor. The troops did not lose a man, woman, or
child, during the "'Osage. The will be medically inspected
on Friday, at Fort Pitt, and on Monday will march en route
to Widmer, to join their head-quarters.
ROYAL MATERNITY CHARITY.—Last evening the
half yearly meeting of governors connected with the above-
named institution was held at the London Tavern, for the
purpose of receiving the report of the committee for the last
half-year, and for the election of officers for the ensuing year.
The Rev. G. Alston, 8.A., incumbent of St. Philip's, Beth-
nal-green, presided. The report, which was read by Dr. T.
0. Rayner, was most satisfactory. It appeared that during
the last half-year 1,957 tickets had been issued to poor
women, and that of that number 1,649 had been attended at
their own habitations. The following statistical fact was
also noted—that there had been an average increase of
attendance per month by the surgeon-accoucheurs
connec.ed with this charity of not less than 32. The
report also specified that 213 Hebrew women had
been attended during the half-year. The financial
statement was given as follows :—Receipts from Jan. 1,
1818, to June 30, inclusive of the interest of the charity's
funded property, 8221. ss. 3d. • balance in hand Dec. 31,
1847, 1321. 31. ; total, 954/. BE3I. Disbursements, inclusive
of the surgeon-accoucheurs' allowances, 8891. 15s. 9d., leav-
ing a net balance of 641. 12s. 6d. Since the above statement
was audited, the anniversary festival of the charity has been
held, the amount of receipts at which was 4201. 66., and
from which the sum of 2361. 16s. was realised in behalf of
the funds ; so that the actual disposable sum now in hand is
nearly 3001. Upon the motion of Mr. Ilendrey, seconded
by Mr. Lunn, the report was adopted, before which, how-
ever, considerable discussion took place as to the propriety of
adding to it &supplementary paragraph, which however was
nut done. A committee was then appointed for the ensuing
year, after which other routine business was transacted, and
the meeting separated, thanks having previously been given
to the reverend chairman.
ROYAL GENERAL DISPENSART.—The anniversary
festival of the friends of this institution (the first dispensary
instituted in this country) took place last evening at the
Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, when about 100 gentlemen
sat down. Lord Camngton presided.—The Chairman, in
proposing. " Prosperity to the Ingitution," urged the claims
of the institution in a very eloquent manner upon
the attention of the public.—The Secretary, before
reading the list of donations, begged to call attention
to the report, from which it appeared that from the Ist of
January to the 31st of December, 1847, including 2,473
visited at their own homes, the number of patients was
10,399, which with the number remaining under cure at the
end of 1846 amounted to 12,22.5. Of that number there had
been cured, relieved, and dismissed, 10,163 The number of
deaths was 170, thus leaving under cure at the end of 1847,
1,892; from the establishment of the institution in 1770 to the
end of 1847, the number of patients admitted had been 324,637.
Of that number there had been cured, relieved, and dis-
missed, 314.902; the number of deaths had been 7,843;
making 322,74.5. It was stated that the institution was in-
debted te its treasurer in the sum of about 5501., in addition
to being compelled to sell out funded property. The total
amount of subscriptions announced during the evening was
5001., which included 501. from the chairman. In addition
to the above the corporation of the City of London had made
a grant of 1001.
TILE SHERIFFS ELECT.—Mr. Benefield and Mr.
Mills, who were on midsummer-day elected sheriffs, have
declined to serve in the office. Mr. Boustield has paid the
fine, upwards of 6001. Mr. Mills, it is said, disputes the
validity of tha fine, and will be proceeded against by the City
Solicitor for the amount. A common hall will be held in a
few days for the election of two other persons to serve in the
office. The fines in such eases ass appropriated to the im-
provement of the City.
IMPUDENT ROBBERY OF A LADY.—Yesterday after-
noon, between three and four o'clock, Mrs. A. Mercer, ac-
companied by her daughter, Miss Alice, of Dolby-house,
Lower Brompton, whilst in the act of entering their ba-
Touche, which had been waiting for them at the corner of
Argyle-street, suddenly felt themselves hustled from behind,
and the young lady, upon turning round, observed three
well-dressed men, who, at the same moment, thrust a lad
against her with such violence as to precipitate her frem the
carriage into the road, and her servant, an elderly man, was
forced into the carriage. Upon the lady being raised from
the ground she declared that her purse, containing nine
sovereigns sad some silver, the change of a note, had been
taken by the led. He was immediately pursued, and, being
taken at the door of Mr. Hartle 's, the Crown, 365, Oxford-
street, a policeman was sent for. The boy in the interim
stoutly denied all knowledge of the transaction, and desired
to be taken into the parlour mid searched, at the same time
he made his way through a glass door at the back of the bar,
to avoid, as he said, the disgrace of being seen by the crowd,
the bystanders imagining that he was safe in the parlour.
Before, however, the landlord could get round the bar, it
was discovered that the thief had escaped, the door forming
a back entrance ieto Blenheim-mews, having dropped the

empty puree in his flight. _ _ _
INQUEST, YESTERD&T.—DETERMINED
At the Charing-croes hospital, before Mr. Bedford, on the
body of Mary Ann Oritton, aged 28. The deceased resided with
her mother at 36, Castle-street, Long-acre. On Tuesday
morning, at an early hour, she left home and roamed about
Covent-garden-market for some time. She purchased some
flowers and various other articles, and returned home at 7
o'clock. She desired her brother to open the window, and
then sent him for some porter. When he had left the room,
she approached the window, and deliberately threw herself
headforemost into the street. Her mother, who is very in-
firm, was sitting in the same room, but was unable to pre-
vent her committing the rash act. The deceased alas picked
up insensible, and removed to the above institution, whore
she died from the injuries shortly afterwards. The deceased
was attacked with severe illness about three months sine,
and since then she had behaved very stangely.—Verdict,
" Temporary insanity."
