was put on board in such quantities
and at such times as to suit the convenience of the
different cammanders.
While the fleet has been at Liverpool it has been
visited by great numbers of cersens, and as might
have been anticipated, one or two accidents have
occurred among the visitors. On Thursday after-
noon, while one of the steamers plying between the
town and the fleet was alongside the flagship Edgar
considerable difficulty was experience in steadying
the gangway, in consequence of the rapid ebb of
the tide. The passage from the steamer to the
Edgar became dangerous in consequence, and as a
woman was passing across a sudden motion of the
steamer overstrained the plank and broke it. The
woman was thrown into the river, and, before help
could reach her, she was carried a distance of about
200 yards down the stream. A ',seaman of the
Edgar, named Henry Crowd, who witnessed the
accident, promptly sprang into the river, swam to
the drowning woman, and supported her until both
were rescued. On Friday, as Lord Beresford, who
is one of the midshipmen of the Defence, was ac-
companying a party of friends on board, a gentle-
man accidentally fell overboard, and was rapidly
swept along by the strong current. Without a
moment's hesitation the noble middy jumped over-
board, swam to the drowning gentleman, and suc-
ceeded in rescuing him.

"As a contribution to geography Mr. kloskins' work is a
most excellent one. In his arclneological researches he is as
entertaining a guide as Belz,ni himself, and the ancient
mythology of the country is tr, ated by him with a b eadth
and scope of intellect worthy of a Bunsen ; whilst his de-
scription of the journey up the Nile is as charming as
Moore's account of the voyage of the Epicurean upon the
same historic stream."— Observer.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCIT, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
°lid instant admission to the destitute sick, without the f or-
Inality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
P"lied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
„,
"'anitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
?'Pable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
,
casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
curds in order to have 600 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-Creatures. Moreover,
'L ;ratultously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
" the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
r The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
'ARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
'ailY present themselves.
