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 instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
pcnled by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable 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 500 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

usual attractions. Tho entries for the two-yr-old Stakes,
such important features at this meeting, have kept quite up
to the mark as regards both the number end character of
the animals entered, the Convivial alone boasting 88 nomi-
nations, while the anticipated presence of Queen Bertha,
Lady Augusta, Marigold, and the Ranger, among the
three-yr-old division, and the probable meeting of such
animals as Maccaroni, Carbineer, Tim Whiffler, &c, in the
Cup gave promise of contests that should be worth record-

Judge average 11 on each day, we think the keenest sports-
man must be satisfied with the entertainment provided.
Two or three days' rain, too, had made the " going"
nearly eN,erything that could be wished, and caused York
to be about the first meeting distinguished by the absence
of dust. The walks-over for the Juvenile and Black Duck
Stakes introduced the Two-Year-Old Convivial, for which
a dozen appeared at the post, Appenine a very fine colt of
Mr. Jacques's, being made a warm favourite at 5 to 4.
After some delay a good start was effected, and, coming
well together to the distance, Claremont and the two
next placed singled themselves out, and a pretty race re-
sulted in favour of Claremont by a neck. The Burgundy
was an easy victory for Lord Glasgow—and then th,
Yot kshire Oaks, rendered interesting by the presence of
Lady Augusta and Marigold, and for which the former
was considered the deadest of certainties, added one
more example to the many "mistakes" in. racing, by the
winner turning up in an outsider and the favourite finish-
ing a bad fourth. The company was more select than
numerous, and the weather fine.

the exception of Welcome, who appeared to get badly off.
On reaching the T.Y.C. post Globule disappeared from the
front, and Ent, ement was seen in advance, but shortly after
she was headed by Lady of Coverham, attended next the
rails by Ophelia, Erin-go-Bragh, Anonyraa, and Doncaster

the centre of the course, was the first off, and with Dur-
ham, the favourite, the Phemy colt, and King George made
the running to the distance, where Claremont (who beings

THE NAVY.

VALETTA, Aug. 14.—Her Majesty's' despatch
vessel Psyche, 2, Lieut.-Commander R. Sterne, ar-
rived this morning from Constantinople, the Pit opus,
Suda Bay (Candia), and Calamata. She had been
relieved at Constantinople by her Majesty's vessel
Caradoc, 2, Lieut.• Commander E. 11. Wilkinson.
She left the Marlborough, 121 (bearing the flag of
the Vice-Admiral Commander-in• Chief R. Smart,
K.H.), Capt. C. Fellowes, at Suda Bay, on the 11th
inst., where there was also a Turkish squadron.
The Marlborough, with the Trafalgar, 70, Capt. T.
H. Mason, had left the Pit eeus on the Bth inst. for
a cruise. The St. George, 84, Cept. the Hon. F.
Egerton, left the Pi7xus ou the 6'h inst. for Nau-
plia. The Queen, 74, Capt. C. F. Hillyar, was still
at the Phases on the Bth, with the Meeanee, 60,
Capt. G. Wodehouse, the Icarus, 11, Commander
N. Salmon, V. C., and the Orlando, 46, Capt. Ra-
nolph, which last-mentioned vessel arrived there on
the 3d inst. from Malta. The Magicienne, 16, Capt.
W. Armitage, which left Malta on the 7th inst.,
had also joined the Commander-in •Chief. The Fox-
hound, Commander W. H. Anderson, was likewise
on the Athens station. On tee lonian Islands and
west coast of Greece station there were the Revenge,
73 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. R. Yel-
verton, C. 8.), Capt. the Hon. F. A. C. Foley ; the
Liffey, 39, Capt. G. Parker ; the Pelican, 17, Com-
mander P. Brock ; and the Waederer, 4, Commander
M. C. Seymour. The Revenge had visited Calamata
tied Cerigo, and when last heard from was bound to
Zante, Cephalonia, and Corfu. The Firefly, 5, Corn,
A. L. Mansell, had received orders to leave Corfu
for Zoete and Palms. The Psyche brought down as
passenger the Rev. A. G. Berry, formerly chaplain
to the Liffey. She also brought news of the
death of Lieut. Frederick H. Blair, of the Tra-
falgar, which occurred after an illness of only three
days. The following foreign vessels of war were
lying at the Pit mus at the date of the last accounts:
French—the Redoubtable, 90 (bearing the flag of
Rear-Admiral Touchard), and the Zenobie, 38.
Italian—the Re Galantuomo, 80 (bearing the flag
of Rear-Admiral Vacca), and the Costituzione, 8.
Austrian—the Novara, 50 (bearing the pendant of
Commodore Tegathoff), the Frederich, 22, the See-
hound, 4, and Kerka. Turkish—the Broussa, 22.
Greek—the Hellas, 28. The Hellas and two other
Greek vessels were being got ready to be despatched
on the 13th of August to Toulon, to embark there
the young. King George I. and convey him to
Greece. All was quiet at Athens. Her Majesty's
iron paddlewheel vessel Weser, 6, Commander A.
H. L. Johnstone, and the screw gunboat Cockatrice,
Lieut.-Commander R. M. Gillson,.were still on the
Danube and Constantinople station. The Chanti
cleer, 17, Commander C. Stirling, was on the crest
of Syria. The Phoebe, 35, Capt. T. A. D. Fortescue,
arrived at Alexandria on the 4th inst. from Bey.
rout, and has since left that port under sail for
Malta. Her Majesty's screw corvette Cossack, 20,
Capt. W. It. Rolland, left the Malta dock on Mon-
day, and steamed round the island to try her re-
paired screw shaft, which was found to answer ad-
mirably. She left port about 10 a.m., and returned
at 4 p.m., and towed out the Malacca, 17, Capt. G.
J. Napier, which immediately afterwards made sail
tor the north-east, for a cruise in the channel. Las
Malacca returned to the motile of the harbour on
Tuesday, and Wednesday reported herself to the
Admiral, and stood out to sea again. 'Pais morning
signals were made for her to re-enter port, orders
having come out to send her instantly to England.
These orders were quite unexpected, as it was be-
lieved that the legal proceedings before referred to
would not necessitate her proceeding home, at
any rate for some time to come. Things have
turned out otherwise, and she will leave to-morrow.
Her Majesty's surveying vessel Growler (tender to
the Medina, Cept. T. A. B Spratt, C. 8.) left port
on Monday afternoon, under the command of Mr.
Stokes, R.N., master of the Medina, on surveying
service in the Malta channel. Tae Hydra paddle
sloop, which is to replace the Medina, is expected
out here from Woolwich about the middle of Sep-
tember, under the command of Lieut. G. R. Wil-
kinson, who is at present at home on leave. On her
arrival Capt. Spratt will assume the command, and
the other officers and crew of the Medina will be
transferred to her. Her Majesty's iron paddle-
wheel sloop Trident, 3, Commander C. F. Balfour,
has been ordered from Gibraltar to Malta. Her
Majesty's screw gun-vessel Surprise, 4, Commander
W. H. Whyte, is under orders to take the mail ex-
pected to-night from Marseilles to the commander-
in-chief. The Cossack will probably be sent up to
the Pirxes with the next mail, and thence to the
coast of Syria. The only ships in port are—The
Hibernia, receiving ship (bearing the flag of Rear-
Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8.), Commander R. B.
Harvey ; the Cossack, the Malacca, the Medina, the
Psyche, the Surprise, and the Boxer (tender to the
Hibernia).
The Black Eagle yacht with the Lords of the
Admiralty and their staff arrived at Falmouth, on
Monday, an an official visit, and were received by
Capt. Grenfell, of her Majesty's ship Russell, the
coastguard ship of the station. After the usual in-
spection, the Duke of Somerset and the other Lords
made a survey of the breakwater and docks which
are in a forward state of construction at that port.

The undocking of the iron-cased ship Caledonia,
officially announced to take place at Woolwich at
the end of the present month, is now ordered to be
deferred until the arrangements for her reception
in the baain are completed. These may probably
extend over a period of two months or more, as the
works can only be performed at low tide by reason
of the coffer-dam having been driven away by the
flood. The armour-plating of the sides has been
completed with great success, the only portion of
the iron-casing now remaining to be affixed being
the end plates, which require much care and inge-
nuity in bending.
Her Majesty's screw steam corvette Clio, 22 guns,
1,472 tons, 400 horse power, Capt. Thos. Miller,
arrived at Sheerness from the Pacific on Monday,
and was inspected by Vice-Admiral Sir George R
Lambert,R.O.B., Commander-in-Chief et Sheerness,
and staff. She will be paid out of commission in a
few days. The Clio was fitted out at Sheerness in
July, 1859, by Capt. Miller, and since that time has
been employed on the Pacific station, most of the
officers who went out with her still. remaining in
the ship.
The Recruit, 6, iron paddlewheel store ship, 590
tons, 160-horse power,Comman der P. Cottam, which
has recently been refitted at Chatham dockyard,
arrived at Sheerness on Saturday. She has since
coaled, taken in powder, and been swung for the
adjustment of her compasses. Her final trial trip
will take place at the measured mile off Maplin
Sands on Thursday next, previous to her departure
for the West Coast of Africa, to which station she
has been appointed.
The Snipe, 5, screw steam gunvessel, 431 tons, 80-
horse power, Commander A. 11.. W. Battiscombe,
has completed fitting for sea, and will be taken for
trial at the measured mile off Maplin Sands on
Thursday. Should the triihl f 1 the sathi .or5
