Mr. Sergeant WILKINS said the alleged perjury arose
out of a long course of litigation, but the prosecutor
would be unable to make out the charge, and he was
instructed to state that the prosecutor was satisfied that
the defendant was quite incapable of committing such
an offence as that which had been unfortunately imputed
to him.

Mr. CLARKSON said the defendant would he satisfied
with this apology, and the matter would be allowed to
drop.

A verdict of Not Guilty was then taken and entered
on the record.

KING'S COLLEGE _HOSPITAL.
The cor raony of lss tog foe Amndation stone of this
rd'ffifal, wineh, anert completed, will take its stand
amongst the noblest of similar institutions in the metro-
polis, was performed yesterday, under more than woolly
lavourabie auspices. Under one of Mr. Edgingten'l
capacious marquees an amphitheatre was erected, baying
in the centre the foundation stone, arouad which seats
for the principle persons engaged in the ceremony were
placed. Every available position for witnessing the
proceedings was occupied at an early hoar by a nume-
rous and aristocratic assemblage. Amongst the hum"
hers present were his Grace the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, supported by the Bishops of London end Lich-
field, and a large body of the clergy in their
robes;
the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord and Lady Radstock, Sir
W. B. Riddell, Bart., Sir B. C. Brodie. Bart., the.
Master of the Temple, Rev. Dr. Jelf, Principal of
King's College; Rev. Dr. Major, Rsv, J. Oliver, the
onaplain; Rev. W. W. Ellis, Mr. Sheriff Swift, Mr. B.
Wigram, Mr. W. Cotton, Mr. Moody, Mr. J. Inc"
Pocock, Mr. fleborden, Mr. Smith, Mr. Sam broke, the
professors and medics' officers of the college, Saeo &L!'
Upon one side the students of the college, is their aca-
demical costume, were arranged; upon the other the
boys from St. Clement Dane's school.
The procession which escorted the Archbishop, who
was very warmly teceivsd, having taken their places'
the Principal read an address from the committee upon
the nature and objects of the day's proceedings. Ils'elug
duly ecnowledtheg ed the honour conferre uon tem by
his Gracke, in unavoidable absence of the thep Earl of El'
lesnsere, the president of the institution, the committee re-
viewed the rise and progress of the hospital since its founds
tom in 1839, in immediate connexion with King's College'
In 1849 the present building became inadequate, from
success of the institution, to the impo tant obi
for which it was set on foot, and they began to take
measures for providing increased accommodation. -I°l
an Act of Parliament they were ensbled to obtain a site
upon which they proposed to erect a building complete
in all respects for two hundred beds, comprising the site
of the existing hospital, the disused burial-ground is
Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, the whole of the
houses on the west side of Carsy-street as far as Grange'
court, the north side of the court itself, and several houses
in Clement's-lane. The present endowment amounts oalf
to 3,2671. 3s. Bd., derived from legacies; and the interest
obtained therefrom forms but a trifling portion of the
sum necessary for maintaining the present institution.
The total cost of the establishment in 1851 was 5,082 k
3s. 4d. It is earnestly desired that a substantial begin"
fling, at least, should now be made towards providing $
proper endowment fund. The estimated cost of the first
two of there important objects, viz., the site and the
building, including the necessary fittings, is little less
than 50,0001., of which sum 36,381/. 2s. 9d. has been,
raised, leaving 13,6181. 17s. 3d. still to be collected. Paoli
of the large amount already received is made up ef. a
sum of 20,0001. contributed by a few nobly minded le'
dividuals, on condition that their donations are ilree3red
in the public fonds until a further sum of 20,0001. has
been raised in smaller contributions. To fulfil this 4
con-
dition and set free the 20,0001., the sum of 6,618/.179.
has still to be raised, and until this is done, any substal

The Bishop of London then proceeded with the
vice appointed, after which the stone, bearing the fol-
lowing inscription—. The first stone of this boach.l3
designed by Mr. T. Bellamy for the president, vLe5
presidents, and governors of King's College Hos Pun
was laid upon this spot, immediately adjoiuing the sit:
of the temporary building used as the hospital since:
1839, by his Graso the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Ivi-
sitor of King's College, London, on Thursday, JeQunect.,
1852, in the 15th year of the reign of her Majesty
Victoria. ' Blessed is the man that provideth for the
sick and needy '"—was laid with the usual formalities
by the Archbishop, who pronounced over it
fug words:—" This foundation stone is placed in faith

by the Bishop of London.

HIGHBURY MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—Last night the
-arge Assembly-room of Highbury Barn was crowded with a
highly respectable assemblage of the friends and supporters
of Miss Hinckesman, in aid of the fund now forming to as-
sist her, owing to her being incapacitated by accident from
following her profession. A large number of some of our
best artists lent their valuable assistance, amongst whom
were Mdme. Evelina Garcia, the Misses Messent, Broughams,
Lowe, Constable, Crichton, Mrs. Alex ,nder Newton, Messrs.
Drayton, G. Tedder, Rafter, De Munck, Richardson, F.
Cbatterton, Charles Salamon (as director and solo per-
former), Case, Harper, &c. All were much applauded. P!ir"
ticularly Mdme. Evelina Garcia, whose artistic and charming

From the recent correspondence of the Highland
Emigration Committee it appears that passages have been
allotted by the Government Commissioners to 510 emigrants
from the island of Skye, in vessels expected to sail for Aus-
tralia from Liverpool and Glasgow,_ during tee month of
July. These parties are almost wholly destitute, and the
aunts necessary for outfit, &c., are to be advanced in the pro-
portion of two-thirds by the society, and one-third by the
landlords from whose estates they are departing. The
.t
de-
mand for passages from other emigrants in various districts
e .
of the country continue active, and of fifteen ships appointed
to sail between the Ist of the present month and thea
