THE CITY ARCHITECT.

Tho TOWN CLERK read a communication from Mr. Bun-
ning, the city architect, to the Lord Mayor, resigning his
office, which he had held for about 20 years, and assigning
as a reason failing health during the last two years. Mr.
Bunning stated in his letter that while holding this distin-
guished position of city architect he had erected several im-
portant buildings, at a cost of £750,000, connected with the
educational, trading, and social interests of this great city,
and he trusted that they would worthily transmit his name
as their officer to posterity. Among them he referred to the
Freeman's Orphan School, Billingsgate Market, the Coal
Exchange, the New Cattle Market, the new city prison, and
the lunatic asylum—all works of magnitude and of public
utility. lie referred to other public services, and in con-
clusion he asked the Court, in kind and just consideration of
those services, to grant him, while it may please God to
spare his life, such a pension as they might deem right.
Alderman DAKIN, prefacing a motion he afterwards made
on this subject, bore his testimony, among many sympathis-
ing expressions of the Court, to the fidelity and devotion
with which Mr. Bunning had discharged his duties, adding
that he would leave behind him monuments of taste in the
erection of many public buildings, and proofs of judgment
in the application of his great talents to matters concerning
the well-being of the landed property of the corporation.
He moved a resolution expressing the deep regret of the
Court that severe indisposition had caused Mr. Bunning to
tender his resignation, and their Sense of the faithful and
efficient manner in which he had discharged the duties of
his office. To this a request was appended that he would
continue to hold the appointment until arrangements could
be made for the due execution of the department.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
PUBLIC WORKS IN THE CITY.
Deputy FRY, chairman of the Improvement Committee,
pursuant to notice, moved a resolution, founded on a report
of that body presented to the Court on the 23d of July last.
It had been referred to the committee to consider whether,
and under what circumstances, the Court should aid, by
grants of money from the corporation funds, in such im-
provements as the Commissioners of Sewers had at this
time in hand, or might hereafter consider it desirable from
time to time to effect for the public benefit. On that refer-
ence the committee came to the conclusion that it was un-
desirable the Court should
pledge itself to any specific pay-
ment without knowing and assenting beforehand to the
particular improvement proposed or effected, and he moved
that the report containing that recommendation be adopted.
To this Deputy DE JERsEY, chairman of the Commis-
sioners of Sewers, moved an, amendment, asking the Court
to contribute £7,495 towards improvements in the streets
of the city made and agreed to be Made Ly the Commis-
sioners since the 18th of September, 1862.
The subject led to a discussion, and in the event the
original motion for the adoption of the report was carried
on a division.

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-
pc.nied 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 support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

THE ARMY.

Col. Hawkins yesterday took he command of the
Royal Engineer Department at Woolwich, in suc-
cession to Col. Ford, appointed to the command of
the corps in Canada. On Col. Ford's forthcoming
departure from Woolwich having been made known
the members of the local Board of Health repre-
senting the Town Commissioners convoked a meet-
ing, anddrew up a memorial expressing their thanks
to the gallant colonel for the valuable assistance
rendered by him on the various questions which
have arisen during his term of office.
Lieut.-Col. Campbell, R.A.,a member of the select
committee of Woolwich Arsenal, having been ap-
pointed Superintendent of the Royal Gun Factories,
yesterday assumed the duties of the department.
The B battery 9th Brigade Royal Artillery is
under orders to leave Woolwich to-morrow, on a
four day.' march, to Hilsea barracks, Portsmouth.
The officers commanding the battery are as follows:
—Major Milman (on leave) ; Capts. Whin; aces and
and Sadleir ; Lieuts, Blackwood and Brodie.
A number of passed recruits of the Royal Artil-
lery, numbering 153, in command of Capt. Stewart,
arrived at headquarters, Woolwich, from Warley,
yesterday- They were distributed in nearly equal
numbers in the A, B, and C batteries.
The commodious pile of buildings which bare
been for some time in progress at Chatham, to be
used as a gymnasium for carrying on the physical
training of the officers and troops at that garrison,
are now completed, and, in accordance with the
terms of the contract, will be handed over to the
War Department on the 12th, at which date they
will be ready to be taken possession of by the mili-
tary authorities at the garrison. The building is
the first of several of a similar kind, which, should
the experiment about to be carried out at Chatham
be found to answer, will be erected at each of the
great military stations. It has been erected in a
very substantial manner by the contractor, Mr.
Alfred Matthews, of Dover, from designs prepared
at the Royal Engineer-office, Chatham, under the
direction of Colonel J. Twiss, commanding Royal
Engineer, and its total cost, exclusive of the requi-
site fitments, &c., will be about £5,000.
In compliance with the orders received some time
since from the Horse Guards the staff of the Invalid
depot at St. Mary's barracks, Chatham, has been
broken up, and yesterday the portions of the esta-
blishment hitherto set apart for the transaction of
the official business connected with the invalid
depot, passed into the hands of the garrison barrack-
master's staff, preparatory to the necessary altera-
tions being carried out to adapt the various build-
ings for the reception of regular troops. For some
time past a number of workmen have been employed
at the barracks in making various alterations, pro-
viding extra ventilation, and carrying out other
improvements, most of which were suggested by the
Army Sanitary Commissioners on the occasion of
their last visit to Chatham.

gentleman, having frequently wit-

\
in the Isle of Man, and having himself been instru •
mental in saving life, determined to do something
to mitigate the evil. Finding the Admiralty and
other official powers, as usual, inert and indifferent,
he convened a public meeting, and stirred up the
sympathies of the public, so that, at the London
Tavern on the 4th of March, 1824, the Royal
National Institution for the Preservation of Life
from Shipwreck was founded under his auspices.
The great and good work then begun has never
since been abandoned. It has gained in extent
and importance until foreign princes and potentates I
are eager to contribute to its stores, and prompt to
acknowledge the obligations which, through their
countrymen, they owe to it. We cannot doubt that
it will now, as heretofore, command the ready
assistance of the public in its appeals for support,
since, however great may be the precautions taken,
and however favourable the circumstances, a large
number of wrecks and disasters at sea is inevita-
ble on the sea-board of a maritime nation. While
mer are to be found to do the work of danger,
surely we need not hesitate to give our pounds
when they give their lives, The Lifeboat Insti-

value, and not the least of its services is the col-
lecting of clear and authentic information, which
is the first step to taking wise and profitable

THE GOVERNORSHIP OF THE IRISH SOCIETY.

The LORD MAYOR said he was grieved to have to state
that he had received a communication from the family of
Mr. Alderman Humphery apprising him of the death of
that gentleman, and another from Mr. Davis, the secre-
tary of the Irish Society, stating that the office of governor
of the society had become vacant in consequence of Mr.
Humphery's decease. According to the terms of the char-
ter of the society, it was incumbent on him to announce, at
the first Court after the event, that the office was vacant, in
order that a fresh appointment should be made at their
next meeting.

Mr. Cox, M.P., the deputy-governor of the society, re-
minded the Court that the late governor was elected in 1843,
at the time he filled the office of Lord Mayor, and that the
charter of the society provided that the governor should
take the bath of office before the chief magistrate for the
time being. That being so, it had been matter of doubt with
some whether the late governor was legally sworn in, hav-
ing in fact taken the oath before himself, as Lord Mayor.
He made those observations simply in order that the present
Lord Mayor, who might possibly be elected to fill the vacant
office, might not be prejudiced if, in the event of his elec-
tion, a question was raised as to whether he could take the
oath of office before himself.

The LORD MAYOR said he was advised by the Town Clerk
that the swearing in did not necessarily take place on the
occasion of the election, and that there would be no diffi-
culty in that respect, supposing the Court were disposed to
confer the vaunt appointment upon the present chief ma-
gistrate. Of course, it was difficult for him to express any
opinion on that point, and he would only say that he should
be proud to fill as honourable an office

On the motion of Mr. TRUSCOTT, chairman of the City
Lands Committee, it was resolved that the vacancy should
be filled up at the next Court.
THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.

Mr. WOODTHORPE, the Town Clerk, read a letter ad-
dressed to the Lord Mayor by Alderman Lawrence, the
Lord Mayor elect, stating that he was prepared to assume
the duties of the office when the proper time arrived. The
letter was ordered to be entered on the journals of the
Court.

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon
Avon. The' Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv-

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

LONDON STONE.

In reference to a paragraph whinh we quoted from
the Athenceum on Monday 'a c -
Times as follows ;._,c, QTYcorresp
to thecadent writes
attention has been
called to a paragraph if, you
extracted from the
Au, r yesterday's impression,
enewn, headed ' A Relic
gadangereds' It is
—ondon there alleged that some frag-
ments of the London Stone have been lolooked off
and freshly fractured surfaces exposed. For the
many years that I b
.4flVe been a parishioner I have
watched the ancient relic with anxious care, and,
although there are several abrasions and indenta-
tions on the surface, yet, I think, there are none
which hay: arisen from any recent injury. The
until 1 i ,
ho stood out adjoining the public cartway,
the Street then being exceedingly narrow. It was
necessarily exposed to damage from collisions, and
being also considered a great obstruction to the
traffic, it was removed to the foct-pavement, and
would willingly importance
of preserving '
suggestion that mi ' are quite alive to the
Ipgly carry into effect any
again, in 1742, it was placed against the church.
Ultimately, in 1798, it was built into the church-
wall. A few years ago it was proposed to enclose
the stone within an ornamental iron T
-rat mg, and a
design was prepared for the pur use • b
, late Mr.
_ . 1e , .ut upon con-
sulting the late Bunning he was opposed to any
modern addition such as intended, and advised the
church-wardens that it should
sible in its original simplicity,be left as far as pos-
and so it has since
remained. The parish officers
this nationally interesting
relic, and
Wit meet with the approval of
antiquaries in general,"

The "Great Eastern" Lottery Scheme.

A correspondent of the Manchester Examiner
furnishes the following details of the scheme for the
disposal of the great ship by lottery :—The proposal
is that subscriptions for tickets shall be reserved to
citizens of Great Britain. With this proviso it is
proposed that all subscribers of £1 and upwards
shall receive a numbered certificate for each £1 sub-
scribed and the subscription to cease when
£240,000 has been subscribed. Should the associa-
tion not become the purchasers of the ship, all
holders of certificates to receive their money back
free of any but actual expenses, in no case to exceed
ls. per share. Should any holder of certificates not
reclaim his money within six months of a publica-
tion in all the London and Liverpool daily papers of
the inability of the trustees to purchase the vessel,
the amount of such unclaimed subscriptions to be
forfeited. Should the association become the pur-
chasers, the trustees will immediately proceed to
make a division of the property among 200 of the
subscribers in the following manner :—A public
lottery to be held in Frankfort, with all usual pre-
cautions as to integrity, and the drawings to take
place in the presence of two or more Notaries Public,
and of the secretary and one or more of the trustees.
The successful numbers to be of the following
values (should the full amount have been subscribed,
and rateably in properties)), and represented by
proportionate shares in the ship :-1 prize, value
£40,000 ; 1 prize, value £20,000 ; 3 prizes, LlO,OOO
each, value £30,000 ; 6 prizes, £5,000 each, value
£30,000; 12 prizes, £2,500 each, value £30,000;
35 prizes, £l,OOO each, value £35,000; 50 prizes,
£5OO each, value £25,000; 25 prizes, £4OO each,
value £lO,OOO ; 65 prizes, £3OO each, value £19,500;
2 prizes. £250 each, value £5OO. 200 prizes. Total
value £240,000. Less a commission of five per cent.
and charges, and the necessary disbursements of the
ship from the time of her purchase until her trans-
fer by the trustees to the 200 successful subscribers,
a published account of which, and a list of the win-
ning 200 numbers, will be advertised in the leading
journals. The remaining shares to be blanks. All
precautions have been taken not to infringe any
enactments, and thus any interference with the
lottery taking place cannot be reasonably antici-
pated. Should, however, any unforeseen difficulty
after the purchase of the vessel arise, the trustees
bind themselves to again cause the ship to be put
up to auction, and to return the proceecis propor-
tionately to all holders of certificates of subscription.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat from
Essex and Kent were small, but most samples came to hand
in fairsondition. The trade for all qualities ruled heavy,
and previous quotations were barely supported.

With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. For
all descriptions the trade was in a sluggish state, on former
terms.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates.
There was a full average supply of barley on the stands.
Malting qualities were a slow sale, on former terms. Other
descriptions sold heavily, at fully the late decline in the
currency.

The supply of
malt on sale was large, and the trade
ruled heavy, at drooping prices.
Both home -grown and foreign oats met a dull enquiry,
at about previous currencies. The show of samples was
rather limited.

Beaus and peas were in slow request, at late rates.
In flour, sales progressed slowly, on former terms. There
were scarcely any barrels on offer.

"THE GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL.—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON Is enabled to announce
that, through the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN-
TERBURY HALL. The object of the Club Is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real life, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best writers. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the " White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these life pictures will be
rapidly replaces by others. The pages of Shakapere and the
elaer Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, Ingoldsby, Dickens, &c.,
103, in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &c. ; Comedy by Unsworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hodson, E.
Marshall, and George Ilutchenson.
