Saturday very suddenly. Thegallant officer was apparently
in perfect health in the evening of that day, but was found
dead in his bed on Sunday morning. General Home for-
merly served in the Guards, and was within the last few
months appointed to the colonelcy of the 56th Reg., which
is rendered vacant by his decease.

THE RECENT FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP..—
The excitement consequent on the late fight seems to in-
crease rather than subside in Liverpool, and the admirers
of Sayers have commenced a subscription on his behalf. It
is confidently stated that he will pay a visit to Liverpool in
• day or two for the purpose of receiving the tribute.
Heenan, too, n corning in for his share of public praise;
and already • sum not far short of a couple of hundred
pounds his been put down for him by the American captains
in the port of Liverpool—several of whom are said to have
pocketed nice sums in the shape of time bete, such as 400/,
to 100/. that Sayers would not beat Heenan in an hour.
The fight was made the subject of a discourse on Sunday by
the Rev. H. S. Brown, of Liverpool.

Oamoirn-irransr.—The tenth annual meeting of this hospital
took place on Friday last ; Lord Ebury in the chair. From
the annual report read by the Honorary Secretary, it ap-
peared that sinoe the opening of the hospital, in April, 1860,
to the 31st December last, 27,086 petunia bad been re-
ceived; that the outlay for the purchase of the freehold
premises in Great Ormond-street, and for altering, fitting.up
and furnishing, and for all incidental expenses chargeable
from 1864 to 1860 to the building fund, amounted to
10,2161., which had been entirely liquidated ; that the
income during 1859, including a balance on the 31st De-
cember, 1858, was 1,922/., and the expenditure 1,276/. •
that a sum of 3391. had been added to the reserve fund,
now amounting to npwanls of 9001. • and that the new
annual subscriptions to the general fund during the year had
been 2251. The Chairman having congratulated the meeting
on the highly prosperous condition of the institution, and
on the circumstance that the increasing demand on the part
of the poor for medical relief rendered it necessary to
appoint an assistant resident medical officer, moved the
adoption of the report, which was agreed to. After the
customary vote of thanks to the chairman and the officers
of the hospital, and the appointment of the several officers
for the ensuing year, the meeting adjourned.
