held in Glaw for the purpose of expressing sympathy
with, and Wring steps to render assistance- to, Garibaldi in
the present joecture of affairs in Sicily. The chair was
occupied by Mr. MATTHEW CULLEN, who remarked that the
object of the meeting was of deep importance, not only so
far an they were concerned as working men, nor as
the Britiab nation, but also as regarded the
rZleled world—the emancipation of Italy from the
oppreror He referred briefly to the state of
affairs in Sicily at the present time, and showed bow it
behoved them to render all &existence in their power to the
general who had seen it his duty to go to the succour
of the struggling people. When the friends of the Pope,
both in our own country and the sister isle, were doing
what they could to ambit the upholders of thraldom, it surely
became them—the friend, of freedom—to do all in their
power w behalf of the people who were struggling to gain
their liberty.
Mr. Sure moved the first resolution, which was to the
effect that the meeting, appreciating the efforts of the lead.
ing Mittens of Glaagow in behalf of Garibaldi, pledged it.
self to co-operate with them in their praiseworthy endea-
vor'', to advance the civil and religious emancipation of the
Italian people. He called upon the working men to come
forward with their mites, remarking that though 1,000
men only gave 1,000 pence, it would always show the feeling
of 1.000 men In the wetter.

The motion wee agreed 4i onsinimouely.
A WOUING MAN from Crieff suggeeted that circulars
should be sent to the working men in the proviscial towns,
ealliag npoe them to take action in the matter--a sugges-
tion which the chairman said be believed bad been antici-
pated.
Rev. Mr. CIIOIIIMLIT then moved as address for transmis-
sion to Garibaldi, which was agreed to.
The neat resolution was expressive of the meeting's
satisfactimi with the conduct of Loral John Russell with

HOSPITAL.

A fe:dival took place last evening at Willie's
Rooms, -St. James's, in aid of this hospital. The Earl of
Devon presided, sod was supported by the DIME of Kan.
cheater (honorary treasurer of the hospital), General
Walker, Mr. W. Delalleld, Mr. Wilkinson, and about 150
subscribers and friends of the charity.. The chairman, in his
addrees, explained that the Channg-crces Hospital wasoriginally merely a dispensary situated in some street near
Soho; but the want of such as institution in a
neighbourhood like Charing-cross having been im-
pressed on the mind of Dr. Golding, the present
resident director, and some other gentlemen, the design was
formed, and in 1834 by their exertions successfully carried
oat, of expanding the diapensary into a hospital, and re-
moving it to its present locality. It is supported entirely
by voluntary contributions raiad for that purpose. During
the period which has elapsed since its opening, the hospital
has continued a most useful, although very nnobtraive,
career; it has hadthe special adnatage of no greet founder,
or large oontnbutor, but has maintained its course without
incurring debt, and has obtained by purchase the absolute
ownership of nearly the whole of the building now
used by the hospital, and commenced the formation
of an endowment fund for its future permanent support.
Prom 1834 to the present time it has administered to the
mate of 301,000 patients. Of those, 46,000 had been cases
of accident ; 27,3E48 had been inpatients ; and 273,000 had
ben outpatients. The sum expended during that period
bed been 63,2081. In IM2, when the last public dinner in
aid of the funds took place, a sum was collected for pro-
viding wards to be especially devoted to children. The
wards had been bunt, but for want of means were still
unfurnished and untenanted, and the object of the present
meding was to obtain sulecnptions for making those
wards useful for the purpose i for which they were
intended, and to supply means for providing a resident
medical officer, the dut:oa of which office have been
hitherto performed gratuitously ; for providing a resident
chaplain ; fa providing an improved clam of aurae, and for
purchasing a house at the north end of the hospital, which
r wanted to complete the original daign.—me Dean of
lbaciarer, as honorary. treasurer, stated that he had
3,101:11. in hand towards the endowment fund.—A liberal
collection was made amongst the paillasses present ; and
7algithose who hadsent iontributians the same of Mr.
bifiekl was announced for 100 goings.—The pro-
ceedings of the evening were enlivened by some excellent
winging by Miss Leffler, Miss E. Lyon, sad Marra. Holmes
Burgess. and OkVllO, who was the director of the vocal de-
partment Mr. Toole displayed his elliciency as a toast-
master.
