ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and
mality of instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
uovernors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
caable of admitting' into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have NO beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Masterman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and

speech was the exposition which he gave of the
views entertained by the Emperor of the French
on the subject of Southern recognition. The mem-
ber for Sheffield has lately had an interview with
his Imperial Majesty, and was authorised by the
Emperor to state to the British
in urblic thet °
to course
which be is willing in to take Southern States. The Emperor, it would seem, has
expressed his willingness to acknowledge the inde-
pendence of the South if England will join him in
according that recognition. Of the accuracy of the
report which Mr. Roebuck gave the house of his
conversation with his Majesty we entertain no doubt,
but at the same time we must observe that no cone-
unic etion in a similar s'raie hes been made to her
Mjestv's Government. Indeed, almost simtuta
nessusly with Mr. Roebuck's statement, Earl Russell,
in reply to a question put to him in the House of
Lords, stated that although only a short time pre-
viously he had seen the French Ambassador, his
excellency had made no communication to him on
the subject of Southern recognition. One of Mr.
Roebuck's chief arguments for immediately recog-
nising the independence of the South was the ad-
vantage derivable to this country from such a course
—by curtailing, as it probably would, the duration
of the war. To this line of argument, however,
we must demur. In the conduct we pursue in this
matter we certainly ought not to be guided by sel-
fish considerations. If the South has established
its right to be regarded as an independent league,
we ought to acknowledge that right, unless by so
doing we conscientiously believed we should work
the belligerents themselves more harm than good.
In Mr. Gladstone's objections to Mr. Roebuck's
views upon the point we entirely concur. But, on
striking a balance between the pros and cons ad-
vanced respectively by the member for Sheffield and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the expediency
of immediate recognition, the reasoning of the for-
mer appears to us unanswerable. Recognise the
South, said Mr. Roebuck, and you publicly admit
what you cannot conscientiously deny—namely,
that the Southern States have demonstrated their
ability to maintain their national independence ;
and by so doing you will convince the Northern
States of the folly of the enterprise in which they
are engaged. Recognise the South, without at the
same time intervening in some other manner, said
Mr. Gladstone, and you will only irritate the
Government of the Federal States, without
at the same time benefittiag the infant Confederacy.
On the consequences of recognition it is of course
only open to us to form conjectures; but, consider-
ing the course which the war has taken, and the
present reaction in the sentiments of the Northern
population, we cannot help thinking that the formal
acknowledgment by the principal States of Europe
of Southern independence would contribute more
than anything else to bring the present contest to
a close.
HERALD. We hold Mr. Roebuck's motion per-
fectly justified; we admire the courage and truth-
fulness of the speech by which he defended it ;
we are glad that, in the face of his ancient
friends and now rancorous enemies, he dared to
declare the real character of the Abolitionism
now professed by the North, and of the slavery
upheld by the South, and to tell the pretended
friends of the negro that their Northern clients
hate the slave with tenfold the hatred they
feel for the slaveowner, and that their hatred
of slavery is a mere hypocrisy and cant. We would
go further, and as Mr. Forster bade us look to
results, we will tall him frankly what Mr. Roebuck
might have added—that if the South were con-
quered the slave would not be freed. The North
would confiscate the possessions of the rebels, and
those possessions would be valueless without
slavery. Slavery, therefore, would continue, and
the negro would only have exchanged a master
whom. he loves, and who knows him, has been
brought up with him, and feels kindly for him, for
a master who cares not for him, and whom he hates,
who is even to white men the hardest of task-
masters, and under whose harsh rule the slave race,
which has multiplied and thriven under its present
masters, would languish and finally die out. The
complete subjugation of the South, therefore, would
be a horrible misfortune to the negro ; the loss of
the States west of the Mississippi, compressing the
negroes within a narrow area, obliging the domi-
nant race to take stricter precautions as their
numbers grow relatively greater, and diminishing
the value of slaves, would also be en aggravation of
their condition. We think, therefore, that Mr.
Roebuck showed sense as well as courage in
grappling boldly with the question of slavery, and
wish that time and the occasion had allowed him to
go further into that question as bearing upon his
motion.
DAILY NEWS.—The tone of Mr. Roebuck's speech
did not at all help to remove the serious disqualifi-
cations under which he laboured as the avowed
agent of the Slave Power, and the ambiguous re-
presentative
of she French Emperor, or tend in any
way to commend his proposal to the reflective judg-
ment and honourable feeling of the house. Any in-
terference of ours in the American quarrel, to be
worthy of our character, or of the smallest practical
use. must be of the most friendly and disinterested
kind. It must proceed on the clearest grounds of
international justice, and be on the face of it free
from all political passion or selfish interest. But
Mr. Roebuck did not even attempt to justify the
intervention he proposes on these grounds. He did
not pretend to discuss its justice, lawfulness, or ex-
pediency on the recognised and established princi-
ples of international procedure. He appealed at
once and exclusively to the lowest motives, the most
vulgar passions, and the most selfish interests. A
proposal that produces such speeches as those de-
livered last night by Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Forster,
and Mr. Bright, is a gain to the country, as well as
a gain to the cause of justice, freedom, and hu-
manity on both sides of the Atlantic.

Church, Convent, and Hospital of the Order•

of St. John of Jerusalem.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

(From the BUlldtuWegena.esitq'Su.
)are, contains a
Great Ormond-street, Q
number of large old-fashioned houses, which in the
last century were the residences of the nobility,
ambassadors,
appropriated fo Manyr of these mansions have
been hospitals, infirmaries, and
appro p
similar institutions; and on the site of two of the
houses there are now being erected a church, con-
vent, and hospital, belonging to the Order of St.

John of Jerusalem.
The intention of this building is to combine an
hospital for invalid members of the Order ; home
for the Sisters of Charity, who are also the nurses;
a convent for the training of novitiates; and a
church, forming part of the same establishment, in
such a manner that communication to and from all
parts is afforded without leaving the roof. As far as the
hospital is concerned, it may be said to be finished
and in a few days will be fit for occupation. It will
accommodate 44 patients ; and besides the general
arrangements being very perfect, there are several
ingenious contrivances for the promotion of health
and the alleviation of suffering. The windows, for
instance, work with a crank, and can be set at any
angle so as to regulate the temperature of the wards
to the required degree. The sinks are fitted with
a double window, the inner one opening and the
outer one shutting when the sink is being used, and.
the outer one opening and the inner one shutting
when it is no longer required. A lift runs from the
bottom to the top of the gallery, and by this patients
incapable of walking can be received from the
ground floor, landed at the destined ward, and.
thence conveyed to bed. The church and convent
are now being built, and the convent will be.
shortly completed. The front elevation presents
a very fair specimen of the Corinthian over the
lonic; and it is composed of Portland stone backed
up with brickwork. It is further ornamented by
the symbols of the Order of St. John, and is sur-
mounted by a Maltese Cross. The inner portion of
the church is divided into three sections, the first
section leading from the front entrance being for
the general public ; the second, for the members of
the Order; and the third for the Sisters. The di-
vision between the second and third sections will
be formed by the high altar, which reaches from
the body of the church to the coping of the dome.
This altar will be of various kinds of marble, as will
also the floor, and two side altars will be situated.
north and south of it. Immediately over the altar
there is a dome, built from a model of St. Peter's.
This is 24ft. 6in. in diameter, 37fr. high, and 75ft.
from the floor. It will be lighted with a lantern,
containing six windows of amber-stained plate glass,
set in gilt mouldings, and will be supported by marble
pilasters and pediments. On that side of the church
adjoining the hospital there will be galleries fitted
up, and these communicating immediately with the
wards, the patients will be enabled to join in the
service with the least possible personal inconveni-
ence. The convent can accommodate 34 Sisters.
It is approached by a coverei way by the side of
the church ; and besides a refectory, a communion-
room, and other apartments, it contains ten cells for
the novitiates. The dimensions of the church are
76ft. 3in, by 26ft. ; and the convent is 65ft. by

24ft.
This combination of ecclesiastical with charitable
establishments is common enough in Italy and other
Roman Catholic countries ; but we believe this will
be the first instance of such an institution. on an
extended scale existing in England. It has been
originated by Sir George Bowyer/ M.P.: at Whoso
expense, chiefly, it is undertaken,

it is satisfactory to observe that the mortality from small
pox does not make progress, it rather gives indication of
de-
cline. In the week there were 49 deaths from the disease; in
each of the last two weeks of May there were 68. In the
number now returned are included two cases of varicella;
13 of the 49 deaths are stated to have occurred to persons
who had been vaccinated.
Sixteen deaths from small pox occurred in the east 415-
tricts, which number is greater than that of any of the four
other divisions. The deaths from it were also numerous in
the central division.
At the present time scarlatina is more fatal than any
other zynrotic disease. There were 89 deaths from it last
week, 5 of which occurred in the rectory sub-district of
Marylebone, 4 in St. George, Holborn, 5 in St. Botolph,
in the Poplar district.
Five nonagenarians died in the week; their ages were 92,
93, 94, 96, and 99 years. All of them were women, except
1 the oldest, who was a Chelsea pensioner.
Last week the births of 1,035 boys and 934 girls, in all
1,959 children, were registered in London. In the 10 cor-
responding weeks of the years 1853-62 the average number
(corrected) was 1,912.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of thebarometer in the week was 29.912 in. The reading was
29.74 in. on Sunday morning ; and it rose to 30.01 in. on. Fri.
day. The mean temperature of the air in the week was
61.2 deg , which is 0.8 deg. above the average of the same
week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The
highest day temperature was 76.5 deg. on Tuesday. The
lowest night temperature was 494 deg. on Friday. Tha
' range of the temperature in the week was therefore 27.1.
deg. The mean daily range was 19.2 deg. On Friday the
range was 26.6 deg. The mean of the highest temperaturo
of the water of the Thames was 65.1 deg. ; that of the lowest
was 62.9 deg. The difference between the mean dew-Point
temperature and air temperature was 8.3 deg. The mean.
degree of humidity of the air was 74, complete saturation
being represented by 100. The wind generally blew from
a westerly or south-westerly point. The rain-fall was 0'47
in., nearly all of which fell on Wednesday. At 8 o'clock
on the evening of that day there was a thunder-storms
which continued more or less heavily till midnight. Rain
fell occasionally on Friday, on which day Mr. Glaisherf
ascended in a blloon from Wolverton, and at the height o
three miles encountered a snowstorm.
