There is reason to believe that the rejection of

We ( British Medical Journal) understand that it
is intended to confer the honour of knighthood upon Mr.
Henry Thompson, of University College Hospital, Officer
of the Order of Leopold and surgeon to the Xing of the
Belgians. This distinction is, we believe, intended espe-
cially to mark the value of the surgical services rendered
by Mr. Thompson to the late Xing of the Belgians.
SUDDZN DEATH ON THE TEMPLE PHIL --(THUS
Day.)—A shocking ease of sudden death occurred about
half-past 11 this morning on the pier at the end of Reser-
street, Strand, in the presence of • number of persons,
who were waiting the arrival of the steamers. The deceased,
Henry Bennett, aged about 62, had been clerk to Mr.
Levy, solicitor, No. 18, Surrey-street, Strand, for nearly
twenty years. This morning be went to the office es
usual, and after remaining there • short time, not feeling
well, he left to go home. Residing at Bermondsey, he
ed to the Temple-pier, and took • ticket
rem:to Surrey side of London-bridge, and pend-
ing the arrival of the steamboat to convey him,
seated himself on a form. While he was in that
position Mr. Crane, ticket collector, observed him
to fall forward. There were no signs of animation, and all
attempts to restore the unfortunate man were in vain. The
deceased was removed to King's College Hospital, but be
had ceased to breathe for some time. The deceased (who
was a married man) was a faithful servant, and much

committee recently formed in the City, and composed for
the meat part of Greek merchants of high repute, for
raising a fund for the relief of the Candiote refugees, re-
post that they have received contributions amounting to
shout 10,0001. in all, in addition to liberal supplies of
clothing and materials for garment., and that they at
present remit 5601. weekly from this country to Athens,
which is expended by &committee there, including most of
the principal British residents, in providing shelter, food,
and clothing to the destitute and otherwise perishing
refugees, almost wholly women and children, who have
escaped to Greece. The number thus maintained by the
committee at Athens, of ',hie,. General Sir Richard Church
is chairman, is 4,167, according to the latest accounts.
There are, however, 600 more who were landed at the
Phonies fortnight ago, and about 9,000 others who are
distributed about Greece end the adjacent islands, making
• total of nearly 14 000. Owing to the constant increase in
the number of these utterly destitute fugitives the Relief
Committee, acting in conjunction with that of the City of
London, have been compelled to diminish the little pittance
which they were expending for their maintenance by one-
fifth. A letter received by the City committee on Monday
last from General Sir Richard Church, writing from
Athens, states that, apprehending • falling off in the sup-
plies from this country, the committee there had refrained
from undertaking the chirp of the women and children,
about 600 in somber who had been landed at the Piraeus,
and that they had lelimt from authentic spumes that hun-
dreds more are waiting on the shores of Crete for opportu-
nities to embark. The Greek authorities and communities,
be states, are doing all they can to provide for these poor
refugees, but their means are entirely inadequate, and the
