binzriso or MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. —A gene-
ral meeting of the magistrates of the county of Ifid&amx
was held yesterday at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-
grace, for the trateaction of the usual county tuskless.
Mr. Henry Powell', chairman of the court, presided ; and
there were present a large body of justices. The clerk of
the peace (Mr. R. Nicholson) laid before the court a com-
munication received from the Lord Chamberlain, that, nth
the concurrence of the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, his lordship has decided, as a temporary
arrangement, to great licenses for music sod dancing pre-
vious to five o'clock in the afternoon to those applicants
who are in possession of a license from the justices of the
peace, under the act 25th George 11., cap. 36. and that
the Lord Chamberlain's licenses will subject the bolder to
all restrictions in the magistrate linen's. The letter was
received, and ordered to be entered on the minutes of the
court. A long report was presented from the committee
aqinted to carry out the orders of canned on the cattle
p ue, and the committee wee reappointed to continue
their duties. The rest of the business, which was of an
uninteresting nature, wee disposed of, and the court
adjourned.
ROYAL IeOPTDOPT OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL—The
annual general meeting of the governors of this institution
was held yesterday at noon, in the baud-room of the hos-
pital, Newfield' ; Mr. R. Cheers in the chair. The report,
which was of a meat elaborate character, stated that the
hospital, which relieved a greater number of patients than
any other in the country, was the oily one in the City of
London, with but one exception, which wee suffered to
subsist upon the precarious support of voluntary contribu-
tions. The board of management were, however, pleased
to observe some satisfactory indications that this circum-
stance was beginning to attract the 'Mice of the leading
mercantile firms in the City, from whence they had re-
ceived during the past year or io the preceding 000 nearly
one hundred new annual subscribers. The increase from all
sources during the year amounted to 3,0691. 2e. 6d., which
enabled the committee to meet the expenditure, as well es
to repay 3001. borrowed from the Building Fund in 1863,
leivieg a balance at the bookers' of 2711. Os. 9d. The oom-
mitteee specially appealed to the banktintd commercial
firms of the City, and to the numerous large employers of
labour in the eastern suburbs—iron shipbu ere, engineers,
boiler-makers, wharfingeri, railway companies, tee., whose
premises and workshops furnished a large proportion both
of the in and out patients of the hospital. The medical re-
port showed that the number of in-patients had been 841,
of which 742 were surgical 00•00, and 97 medical awes.
The number of out-patients bad been 16,088. involviag
nearly 80,000 attendances. The total number of operatioes
bad been 1,513, of which 742 bad been in-patients end 771
out-patients.
