Ft Cora is ieneral cmtinue to demand very high cur-

ISOROUGEL AND SPITALPZELDS.
Since our last report, the arrivals of Potatoes, coast-
wise and by larid.c ariage, have been on a limited scale,
and in very middling condition. All kinds have sold at
irregular quotations, and transactions are reported on
the following terms:—York Rezents Si to 71, Scotch
ditto 4/ to 5/ 10s, Essex and Kent 4/ lOs to Si 15&,
Cambridge and Wisbeach 41 5s to 5/ 15s per ton. We
have received 100 sacks from Calais, and a similar quan-
tity from Ireland. The season for old Potatoes is now
rapidly drawing to a close.
WOOL.
The public sales of Colonial Wool commenced on
Thursday, with an unusually large attendance of both
home and foreign buyers. Up to the present time, the
whole of the lots offered—about 5,800 bales—havet
changed hands, at an advance in the quotations of from
14d to fully 2d per lb. The auctions will be brought to
a close on the sth of June. Last week's imports were
5,181 bales from Launceston, 406 from Bombay, 18
from the Cape, 150 from Mogadore, 769 from Algoa
Bay, 12 from Antwerp, 8 from New York, 436 from
Sydney, and 53 from Ireland. In the private contract
Market, all kinds of Wool are held for more money.

Guy's HOSPITAL.—Mr, Masterman, M.P. for the
City of London, having placed at the disposal of the treasurer
of Guy's Hospital an assistant-surgeonship in the Hon. East
4adia Company's service, the examining medical council
have conferred the valuable appointment on Mr. William
Burns Beatsor., a student of the hospital. This is the second
appointment within three years that Mr. Masterman has
generously given to the authorities to be awarded to the mo it

is a governor.
THE LATE SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH.—A meeting
was held on Saturday laat,May 22, at Lansdowne-house, for
the purpose of raising a fund in order to erect a monument
to the late Right Hon. Sir James Mackintosh; and on the
motion of the Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay, seconded by
Viscount Mahon, it was resolved that immediate measures
he taken with that view. On the motion of Mr. Henry
Rallam, seconded by Lord BroUghton, a committee was ap-
' 13ointed to carry this intention inio full effect, Lord Lana-
downe consenting to act as chairman, and Sir It. H. Inglis
its secretary. A klist of subscriptions will be advertised
shortly.
The Diorama of Hindostan continues to attract
numerous visitors, from the beauty of its painting and its
Perfect truthfulness. Amongst the recent visitors we have
observed the following :—Rev. Sumner and party, Rev.
VOnslow and Lady, Admiral O'Brien, Countess of Minto,
scount and Lady Comhermere, Miss Stapleton Cotton,
ady Webster and party, Captain Benson, Viscountess Gal-
way, Mrs. Lowther, Mrs. Gell, Colonel Powney and party,
• firs. Lockett, Mrs. Saunders, &c., &c.
We have seen some of the specimens from the
auriferous district proposed to be worked by the West
Qlanada or Veraguas Gold Mining Company, which are cer-
tainly of an imposing character; the matrix, in which the
gold is largely distributed, consists of two distinct kinds of
strata—one being a common brown gossan, strongly coloured
:
oxide of iron, throughout which the gold is dissemi-
nated, and the other a white, apparently decomposed, felspar,
so pulverulent that it may be crumbled in the hand, and the
gold, by washing, can evidently be obtained with the greatest
ease. In this latter mineral the gold is partly amorphous
and partly crystallised, in many places shooting out in small
sprays and branches, forming a beautiful miniature
Metallic vegetation. The shares are obtaining favour in the
market, and are now quoted at par to 3-16ths premium.—
