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-
panied 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
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued suppoirt,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New-
market, on Wednesday last, present—Lord Coventry,
Admiral Rous, Mr. Alexander (stewards; Lord Annesley,
Mr. Berne, Count Batthyany, Duke of Beaufort, Lord
Courtenay, Mr. W. S. Crawford, Mr. W. G. Craven, Sir H.
Des Vceux, Lord Glasgow, Sir J. Hawley, Captain Lane,
Lord G. Manners, Lord Newport, Lord Portsmouth, Lord
W. Powlett, Duke of St. Albans, Lord Stamford, Lord
Stradbroke, Lord Strathmore, Lord Uxbridge, Lord West-
moreland, Lord Wilton, and Lord Winchilsea.
The Marquis of Hastings was elected a member of the
Jockey Club.
Lord WINCIIILEEEk brought forward the motion of which
he had given notice, but it was not seconded.
On the motion of Admiral Rots, seconded by Lord
COVENTRY, it was resolved—" That in Rule 36 the fine to
be inflicted at the discretion of the stewards shall be not ex-
ceeding 60 sovs, instead of 25 soya, as at present. That in
Rule 37, after the words at the usual place of weighing
before the race,' the words ' under a penalty not exceeding
£lo,' shall be added. That in that part of Rule 39 which
relates to minor handicaps and 2-yr-old handicaps, Bst 101 b
shall be substituted for Bst 71b.
Admiral Rous's motion for an alteration of Rule 40 was
withdrawn,

In the absence of Mr. Greville, it was moved by the
Duke of BEAUFORT, and seconded by Lord COURTENAY-
" That the rule respecting half-mile races, passed in the
First Spring Meeting, on the motion of Lord Glasgow,
seconded by Lord Strathmore .(see Sheet Calendar, No.
XIV, p. 64), shall only apply to races to which money is
given from the funds of the Jockey Club."
After some discussion, the motion was negatived by a
large majority, only five members voting for it.

The Duke of Beaufort's motion for an alteration of Rule
56, on the subject of claiming, was withdrawn for the
present.

The next general meeting of the Jookey Club will be held
at Newmarket, after the races, on Wednesday in the Hough-
ton Meeting,

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

Despite the rain a large crowd assembled yesterday on
the Bury-road, near the town, to witness a match between
Captain Machell and Mr. Chadwick, well-known amateurs,
to run 100 yards for £5OO, an event which, as the phrase
goes, had "excited much interest in sporting circles."
As an exhibition of speed it wvs a remarkable one, Cap-
tain Machell flying from his opponent, and winning by half-
a-dozen yards ; but the distance was much too short to
be any criterion of the staying powers of either. A good
deal of money changed hands on the occasion,
The more legitimate attractions of the day commenced
with the 500 Soya. Sweepstakes, a match between Lord
Glasgow and Stamford, won very easily by the latter with
Onesander. The 100 Sovs. Plates, A.F., brought 11 to the
post, and fell easily to the favourite, Revolver; Birthday
filly, looking like the winner near the distance, broke down
badly upon being pulled up. The non-favourite won in the
match, the Marquis of Hastings's Attraction galloping
away from Liston without difficulty. Ostentation gratified
the fielders by unexpectedly proving the winner of the 10
Sovs. Sweepstakes, for which East Sheen and Norroy were
considered, in their tarn, certainties.
Antoinette added another to the hollow victories of a day
not prolific of close contests, by easily placing the 10 Soya.
Sweepstakes for 2-yr-olds to the account of the Lewes stable,
the favourite, Wild Huntress, being nowhere in the race,
and the 3-yr-old Sweepstakes proved the certainty for Dol-
phin it was maintained to be. Lord Glasgow again was suc-
cessful in his match with Mr. Ten Broeck, which afforded
the nearest thing of the day, the Miss Sarah colt winning
on the post by a head. The old Bretby Stakes, one of the
time-honoured Newmarket names, brought only five fillies
to the post, the favourite, Isca, landing them for Mr. Cart-
wright, after a good race with sister to Mincepie, by a
neck.

The weather changed for the worse yesterday, render-
ing locomotion on the heath anything but agreeable. The
rain, however, held up towards the close of the after-
noon.

Sweepstakes of 500 sovs each, 200 ft, for 3-yr-olds ; colts,

and Villette.

Immediately the horses reached the post Mr. M'George
got them in line, and despatched them on their way. They
ran nearly in a line for 100 or 200 yards, when the running
was taken up by the Birthday filly on the lower side,
closely followed by Revolver, Little Dick, Villette, and
Oberon, General Hesse, who headed the rear divibion,
lying on the upper ground. They retained these positions
to the " bushes hill," where Revolver headed Mr. Watt's
filly, and cams on with a slight lead into the Abingdon-
mile-bottom, where Covey made his final effort, but failed
to reach the leader in consequence of his filly breaking
down badly, Revolver winning in a cantor by three lengths
—two lengths between the second and third ; Equinox was
fourth and Little Dick fifth; the others beaten off; the last
two being General Ilesse and Oberon.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Welland, 4to 1 agst Newmarket, 5
to 1 agst Lady Louisa, and 7 to 1 agst Peignoir.
Some time was lost at the post in consequence of Hum-
phrey breaking away twice and refusing to face his horses.
At last the flag was lowered, and the horses got away upon
equitable terms, but after running a few strides Lady Louisa
took up the running, which she retained for the first 50
yards, when she was pulled back, and the lead taken by
Newmarket, who was never after approached, and won in a
canter by a couple of lengths, a length separating second
and third; Humphrey was fourth, close up ; Welland
beaten off.

agst Ostentation, 8 to 1 (at first 5 to 2) agst East Sheen, 9
to 1 agst Confidence, and 10 to 1 each agst Garotter and
Benjamin.
East Sheen was extremely fractious at the post, which
caused some delay in getting them away. On settling into
their places, Norroy took a .clear lead, having the favourite,
Garotter, and Benjamin, in close attendance, Ostentation
lying away until they reached the half mile post, where she
joined the leader, the pair running in company to half a
dozen strides of home, when the Young one got up and won
cleverly by half a length.
Garotter was third, beaten off,
Benjamin fourth, East Sheen fifth, Confidence sixth, and
Gallus last. The Marquis of Hastings claimed East Sheen.

the cords, when Lord .Adolphus, having gradually gained
his lost ground, joined the leaders, and when within a
dozen strides of the chair Osborne made his effort, and
headed Crisis, but failed to reach the leader, who wor_ very
easily by two lengths, a head only between the second and
third ; Junius was a good fourth.

VALETTA, Oct. 10.—Letters from the fleet in
Greek waters give the following news :—The latest
date is the 3d inst. The country continues in a tran-
quil state, the arrival of the new King being looked
forward to with feelings of pleasing expectation and
deep interest. Her 'Majesty's ship Revenge, 73
(bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Yelverton, C. 8.),
which is to escort the young King from a port in
France to his new dominions, does not leave Malta
for Toulon until Monday next, the 12th inst. Her
orders are to be at Toulon by the 15th, and the King
is not expected there till the 22d or 231. It is re-
ported that the Orlando, 46, Capt. G. G. Randolph,
which left the Piraus on the 25th ult. for Corfu,
and the West Coast of Greece, will form part of the
escort squadron. The following ships of war are at
present at the Piraeus :—Euglish—Marlborough,
121, Capt. C. Fellowes (bearing the flag of Vice-
; Trafalgar, 70, Captain T.
Admiral Smart,
Mason ; the Queen, 74, Capt. C. F. Hillyar ; the St.
George,B4, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton (in Salamis
Bay); and the Boxer, 2, gunboat, Lieut. Com. F. S.
D. Broughton, tender to the Marlborough. French
—The magicienne, 28, screw frigate, being the flag
of the Rear-Admiral commanding ; the Tangier, 4,
and Nanette, 4, paddlewheel steamers. Austrian
—The Dandolo, 22, screw corvette ; and the Wall,
4,
screw gunboat. Italian—The Tancrede, 4, pad-
dlewheel steamer. Turkish—The Broussa, 22, screw
corvette. Greek—The Athens, 6, paddlewheel
screw gunboat. The English paddle-
steamer, and a
wheel frigate Magicienne, 16, Capt. W. Armytage,
sailed from the Piraeus on the Ist inst. for Nauplia
and Petra`. The Pelican, 17, screw corvette, Acting-
Com. Boger, was expected at Athens about the 10th
instant from Beyrout. She was to return and
winter on the coast of Syria. The Liffey, 35, screw
frigate, Capt. G. Parker, was also to winter on
some part of that station. The Cossack, 22, Capt.
w. B. Rolland, and the Icarus, 11, Commander N.
Salmon, v. C., are at present there. Report says
that the Marlborough will shortly return to Malta.

Piraeus, and hoist his flag on board the Queen. The
three men who perpetrated the cowardly murder of
a marine belonging to her Majesty's gunboat Fox-
hound some months since are about to be brought
to trial before the Criminal Court of Athens, the
decision of which will be final. The Trident, 3,
iron paddlewheel sloop, Commander C. J. Balfour,
arrived at the Piraeus on the 25th ult. from Malta
and despatches, and returned on the
with a mail
despatches and letters from the
6th inst., bringing
squadron ; also three naval cadets and an assistant-
clerk for the Meanee, and two naval cadets for the
phcebe• She steamed from the Piraeus to Kala-
mats, where she communicated with the Wanderer,
4, aunboat, Commander M, C. Seymour, and per-
formed the remaining portion of the voyage to
Malta, with the exception of the last 12 hours,
under sail,
acquitting herself better than was ex-
pected. The LiffeY was expected at Kalamata on
the 11th. inst. The Foxhound, 4, gunboat, Com.
mender W. H. Anderson, left Malta on the Ist inst,
for the Piraeus, and the Meanee, 60, Capt. G. Wode-
house, quitted port on the Bth for the same destina-
tion, both taking mails and despatches for the
squadron. The following mail will probably be
conveyed by the Trident. The Caradoc, despatch-
vessel, Lieut.-Commander E. Wilkinson, is at Con-
stantinople; the Weser, 6, Commander A. H. J.
Johnstone, and the Cockatrice, 2, Lieut.-Comman-
der Gillson, are on the Danube station; and the

Balfour; the Psyche, despatch vessel, Lieut.-Com.
Sterne, and the Growler, tender to the Medina (ar-
rived on the 2d inst. from Sicily). The Revenge,
having got ashore on the mud at Navarino, was on
arrival here admitted into dock for examination.
No damage was discovered but what a few sheets of
copper will make good. The Plexbe has also been
into dock to have her bottom cleaned and examined.
Her broken engine is being repaired here, and it
will be necessary to cast a new cylinder. It is not
