DEATH OF COL. SIR HENRY GEO. MACLE.OD, F.H.
—We have to record the demise of the above gallant officer,
who expired on Friday last at his residence, near Windsor,
after a comparatively short illness. Sir Henry entered the
army in 1907, and saw considerable service with his reziment,
the 35th foot, up to the great victory at Waterloo. He was
severely wounded in that glorious contest, being at the time
on the staff of the deputy-easisteutt quartermaster-general.
In the same year he assisted with his corps at the siege of
Dantzic, for which he was decorated with the order of St.
\Vladimir, of Russia. He was for some years lieutenant-
governor of St. Christopher's, and was subsequently ap-
pointed governor of Trinidad, and in 1842 was also appointed
commander-in-chief of that dependency. He remained go-
vernor of that colony up to last year, when he nu succeeded
by Lord Harris, the present governor. In 1913, he married
Miss Robinson, daughter of the late Rev. Sir John Robin-
son, Bart , but does not leave any family. Sir Henry's
commissions were dated as enhjoined :—Ensign, Nov. 3,
1807; lieutenant, July 15, 1808; captain. Sept. 29, 1813;
major, June 18, 1815; lieutenant-colonel, Oct. 1, 1825; and
colonel, June 28, 1838.

THE POOR IN ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE, AND
ALARMING INCREISE OF THE POOR-BATE.—Yesterday
special meting of the vestry of St. Pancras took place at the
vestry-rooms, Gordon-square, for the purpose of receiving
the estimate of the sum required for the relief of the poor
for the ensuing half-year, and making a rate for that par-
pose.—Mr. Churchwarden Wagstaff having been called to
the chair, the vestry-clerk read the estimate for the half-
year, which amounted to 32,0141. 17e., to meet which sum a
rate of le. 3d. in the pound would be required. A is. 3d.
rate upon a rental of 56:3,7651.: would give 36,6621. The
vestry-clerk then read the estimates fur various items, and
admitted, with retard to provisions, that he bad taken the
estimates at rather a high rate.—Mr. Churchwarden Howarth
moved that a rate of Is. 3d. in the pound he laid, and con-
tended, if the present state of the workhouse was to be
taker' as a criterion of what would be the case during
the ensuing winter, the pressure would be to greet,
that the rate proposed would not be more than
adequate to meet the demands of the poor.—Mr.
Campbell said, if such a rate was carried, the effect
would be to pauperise one-third of the parish. There
were hundreds of poor people who could not pay the
present lid, rate, and how could it be expected they could
pay 4d. more in every pound ? If they wanted more room
an the workhouse they must make the new vestry-roosts
built there available to the accommodation of the inmates.
He believed, however, if the system of out door relief were
extended there would be no necessity for an enlargement of
the workhouse. He moved an amendment that a rate not
exceeding 13d. in the pound be laid.—Mr. Greenwood se.
conded the amendment.—Mr. E. F. Smith complained that
the cause of the crowded state of the workhouse was the
carrying out of the poor-law system of restricting out-door
relief. That system, since the appointment of the new
master, was being carried out to a disgraceful extent. The
poor inmates were deprived of their boxes and their little ad-
ditional clothes and other extras, and, what was worse, the
reeolution of that vestry, passed ten years ago, that allorderly
inmates should be permitted to go out of the workhouseevery
Sunday, had been set at naught. They had stopped all Per'
sons under sixty from enjoying that privilege. Ile contended
that if they made so large a rate they would not he able to
collect it.—Mr. Clarke considered the estimates of a most ex.
tram:pot character. Instead of potatoes being, as they had
been, 141. per ton, they could now be got for 4!. He be-
Raved that theyehould never see wheat again at 51. a quarter,
and the probability was that it would won be as low as 421.
per quarter, and that meat and other provisions would be-
come equally reduced. He therefore entered his praise
against such an enormous rate.—After a stormy discoed/14
the larger rate was adopted, by a majority of 14 to 12.—Kr.
Howarth then mowed, pursuant to the recommendation of
the board of directors, the appointment of a committee with
reference to enlarged accommodation of the poor in ake
workhouse; but the matter was ultimately adjourned to
future day.
RAILWAY CLUE.—At a meeting held last evening
at the King's Arms Hotel, Bridge-street, Westminster. Mr.
J. Valentine C.F., in the chair, it was resolved—. That
the growing extent of railway enterprise, and the consequeot
increase in the number of gentlemen engaged in the profes-
sion of civil engineers, surveyor', architects, railway toli-
citors, parliamentary agents, and their assistants, not only
resident but who are occasionally located in London, renders
the establishment of a club absolutely necessary, which shall
extend to those parties the benefits usually denved from sack
institutions contemplating the ultimate establishment of a
library, museum, and model room, and forming a centre for
this now numerous and most important class of individuals."
A provisional committee was appointed to draw up the nit-
emery rules, and otherwise carry the foregoing moieties
into effect. It is proposed to establish the club in the nearest
convenient vicinity to the houses of parliament, where leo-
, Cures will be occasionally given, and conversexiones held,
whereby the member" may acquire greater proficiency in
their respective avocations, and where, in the words of the
prospectus, " their leisure boars, in the place of idle recrea-
tion, may be employed is embracing the facilities that
afforded for increased mental cultivation."

ANOTHER FAILURE IN THE CORN TRADE.—LIVER-
POOL.—Yeaterday, the stoppage of a respectable but not a
first-rate house fn the Liverpool oorn trade was Locoweed
on the Liverpool Exchange. In the early part of the reason
the firm cleared upwards of 60,0001. Our Liverpool corre-
spondent sends us the name of the firm, but we do not deem
it expedient to publish it prematurely. •

Tile GREAT BRITAIN,—The following is sent us
by our Dublin correspondent : —The fate of the Great
Britain is likely to be a " break up," notwithstanding all the
exertions made to keep her through the winter for extrica-
tion in the summer. Captain Claxton, in his letter to the
Liverpool agents, lays that a tide of thirteen feet six inches
would float her; but, as the Railway Gazette well Mourne,
is it judicious to calculate on an extreme tide, and to risk the
chances of a southerly swell with the height of the springs,
which in the present state of the vessel would render all
efforts to get her off unavailing ? It seems also not a little
remarkable, that over 700 tons of dead weight are still kept
on board, while, according to the captain's account, one foot
was only wanted on the 13th to float her off. The temporary
removal of this immense weight would surely give the re-
quired twelve inches or more. Her Majesty's steamer
Birkenhead will be off Dundrum this day.
A SITE TO MAKE ANGELS WEEP.—Trafalgar square,
which could beet, same fire years ago, of having " the finest
site in Eur me," is as ashamed now of haring its site dis-
figured, and being a public eyesore, that it iutends to peti-
tion parliament to put it out of its misery at once, and to
make it a blind alley.—Putsch.
THE CHINESE SHIP.--The Chinese junk, which is
on her way to this country, dors not bring any cargo of a
merchantable description from China. She is understood to
have nothing on board of Chinese production of the kind
but her own gear and some articles for exhibiting purposes,
entirely connected with and having relation to the vessel
herself and the mode of her management, and, we believe,
that on this account, a special application has been made to
the government by parties having advice of her intended
arrival and interested in the affair, as to the mode of her
giving the usual official notification of report and entry, with
the revenue authorities when such is the case.
DECIMAL COINAGE.—Sir,—Dr. Bowring, when
introducing last session hie motion for a decimal coinage,
pointed out the advantages of keeping accounts decimally,
which esn only be accomplished by having decimal coins,
and submitted his own system for the arrangement of those
coins, but did not notice the inconveuience and loss that
would be sustained by adopting it. It is a well known fact,
stated by Prof. A. De Morgan, that all amounts under one
pound sterling cannot be represented by decimals exactly:
hence, we see the impracticability of adopting the pound as
a standard upon which to found a new system, I have ex-
plained the oljections to that plan elsewhere. To avoid
these objections, and to introduce a decimal system of cur-
rency into this country that shall be the least troublesome
and least expensive—one that shall most easily and exsctly
represent amounts in the present currency—the only plan
that often itself to my mind as feasible is, to
make the present farthing the lowest standard coin,
to let that form the base of the structure, and to make new
coins to represent each 10, 100, 1,000 farthings. I cannot
fancy any system of coins to be more perfect than that would
be ; sure I am no better system at present exists. The names
of these coins I would propose as follow ferthing, dent,
(=lO f.), sod (=lOO f.), fibre (=l,OOO f.). The Poet. offiet
charges could remain as at present, since the peony would
remain at the sa.ne value. All small amounts could easily
be turned into the new coins; fur instance, 3jd.
would equal 1 dent 5 farthings, and would be
written .015 1, so that no derangement would
emu upon changing prices into the new coins. It
will be seen that the figures denoting any sum of money
in the new coins always represent the number of farthings
contained in that amount ; just as in au integral number the
figures denote the number of units contained in it. Hence
any sum of the present currency may he represented in the
new by reducing it to teething., writing them down, and
marking off three figures to the right. Thus —7791. IDs. llid.
contain 748,703 farthings; pointing off three figures it becomes
£745.703f, which sum in the new coinage will exactly re-
present 779/. 17s. Mid. Every libra will contain 10d.
more than the pound sterling, Tne transfer of amounts to
the new system can thus be easily made; after which all
accounts can be kept decimally. Every practical and mer-
cantile man can at once see the immense saving of time
that will be gained when a decimal system is introduced. I
would recommend Dr. Bowring and others to reconsider the
question, so that they may be prepared to bring forward the
motion in the next session. The sooner a referm is made,
the better it will be for the merchant, the better for the
clerk, the better for the workman, the better for the school-
master, the better for the scholar, and the better for everybody.

in contemplation, by the speculamrs who farm the privelege
of admitting the public to the Old B iiley—faieetiously
termed an open court—to appoint agents among the fibre-

A VESSEL RUN DOWN AT SEA.—Yesterday, intel-
ligence was received at Lloyd's, that the William and Mary
sloop, James Partington, master, had been run down off
Haaborough, by the brig Salaria, of London, which struck
the sloop amidships, the master and crew having basely
time to spring on board the brig, when she sank under her
bows. The men were afterwards put on hoard the Blake-
ston, of Sunderland, which landed them at Yarmouth,
having lost all they possessed. The sloop belonged to Mr.
Pearson, of Castleford, and was bound from Goole to Ips-
wich, with a cargo of lime.
FIRE.—IN WHITECHAPEL.—Yceterday afternoon,
shortly after three o'clock, a most destructive fire broke oat
on the extensive premises belonging to Muses. Craven and
Lucas, sugar bakers and refiners, situate in Nelson-street,
Leman-street Whitechapel. The tire was no sooner disco-
vered than messengers were despatched with news of the
disaster to the several fire establishments. In a short time
four or five engines were on the spot. By their vigorous ex-
ertions the firemen succeeded, by a quarter-past five, in ex-
tinguishing the flames, but not before the bakery (in which
the fire originated) was totally destroyed, and other ad-
joining moms much damaged. The outbreak is supposed to
have been caused by overheating one of the boilers. The
premises are insured in the Imperial.
INQUEST, YESTERDAY. THE FATAL FIGHT
BETWEEN TWO Boys IN POPLAR.—By adjournment, before
Mr. W. 'taker, at the Old Commodore public-house; HUh-
street, Poplar, respecting the death of J. M. Harris, aged 8,
who died on Thursday, the 19th inst., from congestion of the
brain, produced by injuries he received in a fight with a boy
named R. Anty, about the same age. On Saturday last,
and again yesterday, J. Johnson, J. Cater, W. Newsom, and
W. Ager, ware charged before the magistrates at the
Thames Police Court with being present, and aiding and
abetting alight between the deceased and Anty, which re-
sulted in the death of the deceased.--J. Ingleton, aged about
10, stated that on Wednesday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, he was
in Abbott's-fields, Poplar , playing with the deceased and
several other boys belonging to Poplar National School. One
of the men shove-named took Anty's jacket, and refused to let
him have it unless he fought for it. Anty selected the deceased,
and they fought for nearly an hour. During the fight the
men gave the deceased a quantity of beer, and encouraged
him on. The deceased bled profusely from the nose, and he
was knocked down by Anty several times. After the fight
the men gave him some more beer, and he appeared to be
intoxicated. He was very weak and exhausted, and the
men then wanted him to run a race, hot he was unable. He
vomited very much, and fell down in a state of insensibility.
When be had partially revived, the men carried him to the
Elder tree public-house, in Bromley, where they gave him
some rum and beer mixed together, sad then swung him
round. The boy became very giddy, and he was carried
home by two boys. He vomited very much, and expired
the following morning. Witness further said that upwards
of IG pots of beer were seat for by the men during the fight.
The coroner said his duties were very heavy, and he was
unable to go further into the cue. He considered the in-
quiry had assumed a very serious nature, and required the
fullest investigation. The jury adjourned the inquiry until
Friday next.

It bears upon the present question, is, that the students who are ad-

meticol, and Koh-salami instruction, shall also receive religious in-
struction, and be subject to religious discipline, according to the prin-
ciple, of the Church of England. This lam provision, however. may

the religious character is emential to the very idea of a complete
education, or rather to education itself, when rightly understood.
Assuming, therefore, this principle, to which the council considers
itself pledged by the very constitution of the college ; looking at the
expressed intention of the charter of the Unieereity of London of
securing a resider and libend course of education fur the students for
whom it provides decrees ; and considering tho present state and
practice of the University of London is this respect; the council of
Queens College feel that they cannot do otherwise than recognise In

In a subsequent part of the rep art, it was stited, " That a
supplemental charter of incorporation had been obtained,
with a view to the consolidation of the Queen's College with
the Queen's Hospital: and to give encouragement to sueh
pupils u manifest diligence and acquirements in their re-
spective studies, the council have received, under the char-
ter, the power to elect such as hold a diploma in medicine or
surgery, or are graduates in medicine, law, or arts, to the
honourable distinction of " fellows," with such powers and
privileges as may be determined upon from time to time.
The whole of tne expenses in obtiuning the charter have
been defrayed by the Rev. Dr. Warneford, and the lion.
and Rev. the Chancellor Law, the vice principal. After de-
tailing various new regulations adopted for the purpose
of securing strict discipline amongst the pupils, and
acknowledging the liberality of the two gentlemen above
named, and that of Miss Burdett Coutts, the report added—
.' It would he impossible for the council to refrain from ac-
knowledging gratefully the able co-operation and assistance
afforded to them by Lord Lyttelton, the principal, not only
by his powerful influence in obtaining the charter, but by
his valuable advice in the revision of the laws of the college
from time to time, and the example of his punctual attend-
ance at the council board, so well as by the accomplished
scholarship manifested when he conducted the examination
of the classical priaemen at the close of the winter session."
The attention of Mr. Chancellor Law to the supervision of
the details of the collegiate system of the institution was
approvingly referred to, also kis donations of books, of an ,
organ for the chapel, and for h lying otherwise promoted the
prosperity of the college.—The following student* have ob- ,
mined honours in the several departmento:—Juniar.—Clus-

Demonstrations: Hodges, Ludlow; Bird, London. The
" Warneford Scholarships" have !veil awarded to Ireland,
Malmsbury, and Lane. Thu award of the remaining prizes
has not yet been made; and the council close their report
with the txpressi 'n of their hope "that, under the con-
tinued blessing of Divine Providence, their most anxious
wishes may be realised ; viz., to improve the tone of moral
and religious feeling, —to raise the standard of proficiency
among the students,—and to fit them as gentlemen for
filling, with credit to themselves and advantage to the
public, an 7 post to which they may b 3 called."
In moving the adoption of the report, the Hon. and Rev.
Grantham Yorke congratulated the meeting on the en
counting character of its tone; and expressed his satisfac-
tion that the principles of the institution had been no ably
vindicated by Lord Lyttelton in his letter to tho University
College of London. After paying a compliment to the officers
and the council, he declared it to be his opinion that this
institution would be found to be one of the most important
elements to the education of medical men to be found in the
' kingdom. —Mr. Newilegate, M seconded the motion for
the adoption of the report with the remark that it was satis-
factory to find such an institution distinguishing itself by the
, excellence of its principles.--The report was adopted.
The Rev. G. S. Butt, in moving a vote of thanks to the
; noble chairman, congratulated the meeting on the fact that
, sound religious instruction was being blended with the prat-
. tine of medical science; and Lord Lyttelton, in responding,
, declared his purpose to abstain from making any general re-
, marks with reference to the institution until the meeting in
October, when the remaining prizes will be awarded.
