THE ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL.

Last evening the 35th annivereaty festival of the Roy al
Free Hospital was celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern
under the presidency of Mr. Charles Dickens, About 200 of
the leading friends and supporters of the institution were
present on this interesting occasion. Amongst others we
observed Mr. G. Moore, Mr. E. Masterman, Mr. Be al
Brown, the ltev. I'. B. Owen, Dr. Brinton, Dr. Bridge,
Dr. O'Connor, Dr. Wynn Williams, Dr. Read, Mr. Gant,
Mr. A. O'Connor, Mr. De Mirk., Mr. Weedon Cooke, Dr.
Cockle, Mr. Ilooper, Mr. George Cockle, Lieut. Godfrey,
Captain Peter Mathens.
Perhaps no charity in London deserves more liberal sup-
port or affords a larger amount of well-placed relief than
theßoyal Free Hospital. Tea e numberyearlyrelieved amounts
on an average to 43,000 in and out-patients, but the este •
blishment could accommodate 200 additional beds with little
increase in staff expenditure. The number of sick and
destitute applicants whom the committee unhappily are un-
able to admit compels them to appeal for larger public sup-
port. A mortgage of £5,000, with other liabilities, had
been discharged, and the committee were making an effort
to raise sufficient funds to add at least 100 beds to the 100
already occupied, as well as to purchase the freehold of the
hospital, thereby converting the rental under its lease into
income available for general purposes. The committee are
meanwhile compelled to entreat benevolent contributors to
aid them in extending the operations of a charity which
was freely open, not only to its own citizens, but to strangers
from the provinces and from foreign lands.
After the usual loyal toasts came " The Army, the Navy,
and the Volunteers," the chairman remarking that the ser-
vices unfortunately contributed a full share of sick and
wounded to the practice, and exhibited a still larger share
of heroic fortitude and endurance.
Capt. BLACXENBURY responded to the toast in suitable
terms.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening,
" Prosperity to the Royal Free Hospital," said it happened
to him, some years ago, immediately after the close of the
Crimean war, that he was walking in the neighbourhood of
Blackheath with a civilian justcome home, who had greatly
distinguished himself in connection with that event. Their
conversation naturally turned on the incidents which his
hon, friend had lately witnessed, and his companion re-
marked that the ground on which they happened to be
standing was sufficiently like the ground on which one of
the most memorable of the Crimean battles had been fought
to afford a very good idea of the battle-field. " Put behind
every one even of the least of the furze bushes- on that
heath," said his companion, " put behind every parch of
shelter before us that could possibly conceal a crouching
human form, a wounded soldier, and you will have a very
clear idea of the field, supposing that soldier dead, as I s tev
it myself on the morning after the light." He (the chair-
man) rejoined, " I suppose that the badly wounded men
crept behind those bushes when they were struck,
and got out of fire." " Well, in part for that
reason," he said. " but only for a very small pert
—because he had noticed that it became a kind
of instinct for a badly wounded man to creep away
and crawl behind any bit of shelter, and crouch, like some
of the lower animals, and die alone." That picture im-
pressed his fancy very much :at the time, and since then,
when he had passed through any of the highways of this
vast London, or any other great town or city, he had hoped
within himself that it might not be in peace as it was in
war, and that many of the stricken among us might retire
to these miserable places of refuge—might not coil them-
selves up in their wretched patches of shelter and die in the
midst of us untended and alone. (Cheers.) The most
prosperous and best cared for among men and women knew
full well, that whosoever was tut in this great and continu-
ing battle of life, howsoever vast the gap might be that
was made, howsover dear the companion might be that was
down, they must close up their ranks and march up and
fight out the fight. But it happened that the rank and file
were many in number, and the chances against them were
many and hard, and they necessarily died by the thousand,
when the captains and the standard-bearers only died by
ones and twos. (Cheers.) How these privates lived. and
how they fought, and how they died, were questions of
immense moment to the whole social army. (Hear, hear.)
If they were not felt, in these later times—if they were
not felt honestly and thoroughly to be so—there could
be no doubt that our own ranks contained within them-
selves the subtle elements of swift destruction and disso-
lution. Accordingly, and because people in general
were,- thank God I disposed to be humane, and to
do right and to do good, this great capital teemed
with institutions for the relief of the indigent sick. They
were not, it was true, by any means equal to the dire need
—they were not equal in capacity to the heavy demands
upon them, but they were, nevertheless great institutions,
many of them richly endowed, all of them nobly remaekable
for the medical science and skill freely placed at their corn •
mand. (Cheers.) Now, as he had to entreat their active in-
terest in aid of one of these, it might be right that he should
try, always without depreciation or the shadow of disparage-
ment of the others, to show in what its peculiar claim con-
sisted. Happily for him the task was an easy one. Thedis-
tinguishing character of the Royal Free Hospital was amply
expressed by its simple name. It was a free hospital—(hear,
hear)—no recommendation was needed by the suffering
creature who sought admission. No letter from a governor
or subscriber, or what not, had with difficulty to be hunted
out. (Hear, hear.) "Look at me, look at me; I am sick,
poor, helpless, forlorn." These were the patient's creden-
tials. Was there anybody-present—was there anybody any-
where knowing that fact, whose fireside on a bleak winter
night would not be brighter and warmer for the reflection
that he had done something towards the maintenance of the
hospital which afforded such an easy and accessible refuge?
(Hear.) Was there a single court or alley in that great
maze of courts and alleys which lay between them and the
hospital itself that did not contain at that moment some
poor warn creature to whom, as they were seated at abun-
dant tables, that hospital would be a haven of refuge and
a dawning of hope? Well, with all these poor worn
creatures, with their many crowded alleys and courts,
with much distress, disease, and accidents prevailing, the
Royal Free Hospital, that might prove so extensively ser-
viceable, contained not quite 100 beds. (Hear.) Though
its sphere of action was so large, and the demands upon its
resources so enormous, the out-patients amounted last year
to no less than 60,000 persons. That very disheartening
and desponding aspect of the case would be almost hopeless
if it were tot for the very encouraging statement that could
be set against it. For some years the hospital had been
paying an annual rental of £2OO. It occurred to one of its
most valuable supporters—(hear, hear)---a gentleman pre-
sent, whom he was proud to call his friend--(Mr. George
Moore)—a gentleman of great business knowledge, of great
influence, of great charity, and of great energy--(hear,
hear) —that by an appeal to the munificence and liberality
of the bankers and merchants of the City of London a suffi-
cient sum of money might be raised to buy the premises.
Although that appeal was made at the time of the preva-
lence of the Lancashire distress, and although many other
circumstances combined against its successful result—al-
though the sum of money proposed to be collected was to
be counted not by hundreds but by thousands—though, in
short, it amounted to £6,ooo—that gentleman's efforts had
already produced the large sum of £4,ooo—(cheers)—and
he most sincerely and earnestly hoped that when the result
of that night's proceedings were declared by the treasurer,
the meeting would be able to consider that the hospital
was for ever and henceforth free, saved that rental-
charge of £2OO a-year, and for ever and henceforth
established on its own unencumbered property—so that
every shilling subscribed would be devoted to the immediate
advancement of the objects of the institution and the alle-
viation of pain and misery. His own personal observation
convinoed him that the hospital was capable of affording
nearly five times the amount of accommodation for a con-
siderably less than proportionate increase of expense. The
Royal Free Hospital was no case of a chateau en Espagne,
no castle in the air ; it was no hospital of merely good in-
tentions which might be built some day. The thing was as
real as the poor suffering creature who lay at the door-step.
The remedy was as ready and the means of assuaging the
suffering was at hand, if the public would only adequately
contribute funds. There never vem so strong or so hopeful a
case. He believed there were hundreds of well-dis-
posed people so struck at heart by the spectacle which the
streets of this great city presented, that they would gladly
do anything to set these things right, if they knew how,
If they set up and maintained 500 beds they might be posi-
tively certain that five times five thousand human creatures
would have laid down their wretched heads to recover or
die within five years. For God's sake let them remember
that those were the things which evoked the gratitude of
the sick poor—that these were the moans by which, after
all, they could bridge across that great deep gulf between
their beds and ours as they all tended to the common road
on which they must be equal travellers at last. (Cheers.)
In conclusion the chairman proposed, amid loud and gene-
ral acclamation, the toast of " Prosperity to the Royal Free
Hospital."

Camel ino was observed to drop back (having broken down),
and her place was taken by Caller On, who, with Asteroid
at her girths, followed the leaders round the bridge turn,
where Stradella was beaten and gradually gave way,
leaving the issue of the race with the few who came
in company to the entrance into the straight, where
Haddington, next the rails, crept up to Gardener,
who, hanging somewhat at the same moment, pre-
vented Doyle from getting through, the pair at the dis-
tance lacing joined by Asteroid, Caller Ou at the same
' time giving way beaten. The three raced together to half-
way up, when Asteroid in the most gallant manner got his
head in advance, and won, amid the vociferous cheering of
the spectators, by sa neck, a like distance separating
the second and third. Caller Ott was a bad fourth,
Carnerino fifth, M. Philippe sixth, and Stradella next ;
then came Plover and Dunkeld side 1•y side, pulling, after

teturn the Sultan sent his bend the next evening
to play before the Ficnch and Italian core-ailates.
In the evening his Excellency Mehemed Pacha,
Captain Paella, gave a dinner on behalf of the
Sultan, to the foreign admirals and captains and
the foreign consuls on board the line-of-batt'e
ship Peiki Z tier, which was attended by
the grand dignitaries, the Ottoman captains,
and the political commissioners of the province,
Neshet Bey, and the vice president of the Cotton
Commission, Mr. Hyde Clarke. The banquet was
of a magnificent character, the Turkish dishes being
supplied by the Sultan's cook, some from his own
table, and the French dishes being cooked by the
chef of Smyrna, M. Mille, of Mille's Hotel. The
dinner was served in a banquet room made up with
flags. The Sultan's band played choice airs during
the banquet. After dinner coffee was served in the
cups and richly jewelled zlifs of the Sultan.
The guests were arranged, one Ottoman official
and foreign guest alternately. To the right of the
Captain Pacha sat the station admiral; to the left
the French captain, representing the French Ad-
miral Touchard. Opposite the Captain Pacha sat
his Highness Fuad Pacha, the Seraskier, having on
his right Count Bentivoglio d'Arregon, French
consul, and on his left Viscount d'Egremont, Bel-
gian consul. Her Britannic Majesty's consul sat
near the French consul.
Count Bentivoglio gave "'The Health of the Sul-
tan ;" Fuad Pacha, that of "The Sovereigns,
Friends, and Allies of Tu ritey ;" and the Station
Admiral Vacea, " Hie Highness Fuad Pacha, his
Excellency Mehemed Pacha and the Ottoman
Navy."
The party broke up at a late hour. It was
remarked that English was the language chiefly
spoken at table on account of the many Ottoman
and naval officers present.
On Friday morning the Sultan landed from his
yacht, and went in full Constantinople state to the
Hissar Jamisi, to the great satisfaction of his Mus-
sulman suljects ; and he gave largess to the learned
members of the Meoleh Haneh, commonly called
dancing dervishes. The weather being very fine,
instead of going by steam yacht to the railway pier,
he went througn the streets in his carriage to the
Caravan Bridge suburban station, which was hand-
somely decorated, and thence a few minutes brought
him by train to the Bondjah station. Here he again
entered his carriage, and was received by Count
Bentivoglio d'Arragon, president of the Jockey
Club, and M. E. A. Drew, the hon. secretary, and
conducted to the Imperial tent, which was pitched
on the race ground near the grand stand.
The Sultan having given £250 and £5O a year to
the race fund, these races were held in his honour,
the regular spring meeting being fixed for next
week, when Sir H. Bulwer is expected. The club
and races were founded by the English, and some
thorough English sport was shown, in which his
Imperial Majesty took deep interest, this being his
first racing experience. His Imperial Majesty is ex•
ceedingly anxious to improve the breed of horses,
The first race was chiefly by a large field of
Arabs and half bloods, ridden by English ama-
teurs in jockey costume, thrice round the course,
ending in a sharp contest between M. C. Van
Lannep's horse Shannon, ridden by Mr. Charl-
ton Whittall, nephew, and Mr. Crampton's
Slasher, ridden by Mr. Hutchinson, won by
Mr. Whittall. A hurdle race followed, in which
the two were again competitors, but Shannon got
the benefit of a hurdle knocked down by a Turkish
jockey Ishmal, and won by a neck. On the winner
being paraded the Sultan sent to him a bag con-
taining £2so—Turkish pounds.
His Imperial Majesty likewise sent a donation to
Jem Smith, an English jockey, who had a heavy
fall in taking a hurdle. The last race was a Bashi-
bazook race.
The Sultan and suite rode off to Boojah, another
town (or villegiatura), and full of beautiful villas,
where the fine villa built by Mr. J. T. Wood, the
architect, and the large garden planted with exotics
belonging to Mr. D. Balltazzi, were prepared for
his Impetial Majesty's dinner. His Imperial Ma-
jesty sent out to Mr. Baltazzi the decoration of the
Mejidieh. The races having been numerously
attended by ladies, and by the officers of the Eng-
lish, French, Italian, and Austrian men•of war, and
foreign visitors, the hospitality of the English re-
sidents was largely and freely drawn upon.
His Imperial Majesty took into consideration the
means of carrying out the Booja.b Branch Railway.
His Imperial Majesty returned to the Boojah
station on horseback, and thence by train to the
great station, which was fresh decorated and the
works illuminated.
On passing into the throne-room at the station his
Imperial Majesty stopped some time to receive the
Imperial spade, delivered to him by his Highness
Fuad Pacha, and in reading the Turkish inscription
in silver commemorating its use in beginning the
new works at Ayasolook.
Another ovation awaited the Sultan in Frank-
street, and in passing through the picturesquely-
lighted bazaars. His Imperi3l Majesty, by his frank
and noble bearing, his energy and courtesy of man-
ner, has won the hearts of man, woman, and child
in Smyrna, with many almost to adoration. Led
away by the enthusiasm around, every now and
then etiquette was thrown aside, and the hearty
salutations returned.
This (Saturday) morning the Imperial yacht was
got under way. The last measure of his Imperial
Majesty was to direct the plantation at Constanti-
nople and Smyrna of tree cotton seed, received yes-
terday by the United States mail, and give direc-
tions about various measures for promoting existing
institutions in Smyrna and forming new ones. The
Imperial yacht, Capt. Razim Bey, was followed out
of the harbour by the Ottoman, French, and Italian
squadrons with the usual salutes, and has just
passed the Castle.
The enthusiasm excited by the Sultan has pre-
vented that attention being devoted to his Highness
Fuad Pacha which under other circumstancea the
claims of that great statesman on the gratitude of
ail in the Turkish empire demand; but whenever
he was seen alone loud cheers greeted him. His
courteous and kindly offices have tended even to
promote the enthusiastic loyalty of all classes to-1
wards the Sultan.

POISONED GRAIN.—Mr. Pault's bill, now before
the House of Commons, imposes a penalty on knowingly
and wilfully selling or exposing for sale, or purchasing,
p ison, or grain which has been steeped in poison, or with
which poison has been so mixed as to render it calculated to
destroy life, with intent that it should be used for injuring
or destroying birds or animals. A penalty is also imposed
