formerly expressed by Mr. Tite against the removal
of the hospital from its present site, and asked why
that gentleman should now be so strong an advocate
i•Jr the erection of the hospital elsewhere.
Mr. NEWMAN seconded the resolution.

Mr. LEGGE suggested that the words "Surrey-
gardens" should be left out of the resolution. He,
indeed, did not approve suggesting any particular
site, as there were many other sites from which
they might make a choice. There were places in
the New Bent-road a few hundred yards from the
Elephant and. Castle; but his anxiety was that the
hospital should be kept in the borough of South wark.
Mr. BRICKNELL said the Surrey-gardens was as
central a spot as could be found.
Mr. VICKERS complained of the great delay that
had been allowed to take place in the settling of this
question by the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital,
and said it became the duty of the people to bring
it to a close.
Dr. E. B. JONES observed there was no reason
why St. Thomas's Hospital should have been re-
moved. The railway could have been made without
touching the building ; but he at the same time
approved the site of Bethlem for St. Thomas's Hos-
pital, which, under all the circumstances, he con-
sidered the best plan to be adopted.
Mr. FREEMAN strongly deprecated the removal
of the hospital any distance from the borough of
Southwark.

The resolution was then put and carried unani-
mously.

Dr. FREDERICK JONES moved—

" That a deputation be appointed by this meeting
to join the Committee of Parishes for the purpose
of waiting upon the Governors of St. Thomas's Hos-
pital with a copy of the resolutions now passed, and
that the deputation be instructed respectfully, but
firmly, to request their most serious attention to the
subject, and also a second interview, as soon as con-
venient, for their decision. That, if it should be
deemed necessary, the deputation should also seek
an interview with the governors of Bethlem,and that
afterwards another public meeting should be called,
if in the opinion of the Committee of Parishes it
should appear desirable."
He mentioned some statistics, showing that before
the removal of the hospital there were 496 beds, and
that now there were only 207 beds. In May, 1862,
there were medical casesi admitted 66, surgical cases
23 ; but in May, 1863, there were only 16 medical
cases and 10 surgical. cases. Applications for ad-
missions had been proportionally reduced. He
strongly supported the scheme for obtaining the
site of Bethlem Hospital.

Mr. M. GODDARD seconded the resolution,whieh
was unanimously adopted.

A vote of thanks was then passed to Dr. Rendla
for the exertions he had made in carrying out the
objects of the meeting, and a similar vote having
been carried to the chairman the meeting separated.

A,G., an having proceeded to Cove-common, the
manoeuvres commenced. The brigades, having
marched past in open columns of grand divisions,
formed up near Cove-wood,and the Royals advanced
to the westward in skirmishing order, the remainder
of the Ist Brigade forming the supports. The 2d
Brigade, under General Bates, formed line and
advanced, the 3d Brigade, under General Russell,
composing the reserve. The troops advanced in
this order for some distance, when they changed
position to the left, and the 3d and 2d Brigades
advanced in line, the former being covered
by the 64th Regiment and the latter by the 60th
Rifles, in skirmishing order. They then changed
position half right, and marched to the bank of the
Basingstoke Canal. The Royal Engineer train then
advanced to the front and threw a bridge over the
canal, performing their pontooning operations with
such rapidity and efficiency as to elicit very high
commendations from the Commander-in-Chief. The
pontoons were removed from the waggons and fixed
for the passage of the troops in 13 minutes. Gen.

vernment had in view in purchasing the building, and to
what purpose it was to be applied ; whether the two glass
domes were to Le replaced by two permanent structures
on the same design, and when the vote would be taken for
this embellishment of London and its (vicinity, (Hear,
and laughter )____

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that the estimate which had been prepared, and which
would be submitted to the house, treated upon the cost of
buying, altering, and maintaining the building. The ori-
ginal cost of the building was £300,000, with an addition of
£130,000 to be paid to the contractors, making together
£430,000. The price which the contractors had agreed to
take' in addition to the payments already made to them,
was £BO,OOO. The site, including the refreshment rooms,
would cost £120,000-1;200,000 in all, The value
of the property to be so purchased was £30,000, the
value of the refreshment departments was £28,000,
but £710,000 was the estimated value of the whole of the
property in the market, so that the public would get the
whole of it for £200,000. (Hear, hear.)
Lord R. CECIL asked if any estimate had been prepared
of the annual repairs ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that the cost of the annual repairs were included in the
estimate.

Mr. D. SEYMOUR enquired if the estimate would in-
clude the cost of endowing the Exhibition with a decent
appearance? (Laughter.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that the estimate would certainly include the cost of giYing
the building a "decent" appearance. (Laughter.)

LAW INT:

COURT OF DIVORCE.
EARE V. RARE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.)

In this case, which commenced yesterday, and which has
been fully reported in the Sun, the jury this morning were
of opinion that the cruelty bad not been made out. The
verdict consequently was in favour of the respondent.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Gibbons.)

SEATS TO VIEW TUE ROYAL PROCESSION-IMPORTANT

DECISION-SHUM V. WLEAN.

This was an action to recover damages alleged to have
been sustained in consequence of defendant, a looking-glass
manufacturer, of Fleet-street, neglecting to provide certain
seats to view the Royal procession on the 7th March last,
as agreed.

Mr. James, for the plaintiff, said—My client is an attor-
ney, and he was anxious to view the procession of the Royal
party through the City of London on the 7th March last.
He called upon defendant, and agreed to give £2 ss. for
three seats. Having paid the money, plaintiff received three
tickets, signed by a p rson named Wallis.

His Honour—l see Ihat Wallis is joined in the action.
Mr. James—Yes, we did not know what defence would
be set up, but we shall not go against Wallis. I shall call
my client.

Plaintiff said- -I went with two relations to my seats
about half-past one on the 7th March. I found at that time
that my seats were occupied, and I spoke to defendant
about it. He tried to persuade the persons who had ob-
tained my places to vacate them, but they refused.
Mr. James—Did defendant offer to provide other seats ?

Plaintiff—No.
His Honor—That would only have been a new contrac..
Plaintiff—l was put to very considerable inconvenience
in consequence of not getting my seats.
Mr. James then handed in the ticket which had been
received from Wallis.

His Honour—lt is perfectly clear that defendant has
broken his contract. He agreed to supply plaintiff with
certain seats, and upon that understanding plaintiff paid
the money asked for them. I am not now dealing with the
question as to whether defendant offered other seats, but I
must hold that plaintiff was entitled to those seats for
which he paid. Under these circumstances I must find for
plaintiff, with costs.

CONTRABAND FOR POLAND.

At the Gravesend Police-court, on Wednesday,
Nlr. Beverley, solicitor, attended to prosecute, on
behalf of the Commissioners of Customs, Mr. Rob- t
Wentherley, master of a vessel named the Ward
Jackson, for an infringement of the Supplementary
Customs' Consolidation Act, 1855, see. 11. The
information laid was as follows :—" Thrq, on the
21st day of March last past, the ship Ward Jack-
son, of which one Robert Weatherley was then and
there master, and then and there having cargo on
board, did depart from the port of London without
being duly cleared, contrary to sec. 11 of the Sup-
plemental Customs' Consolidation Act, 1855,
whereby the said Robert Weatherley, so being such
master of the said ship, has forfeited the sum
of £100."
Mr. Beverley proceeded to say that, on March 20,
the Ward Jackson arrived at Gravesend in ballast,
and proceeded to take on board a cargo of cases and
casks. She was returned to the authorities as being
laden with hardware, but in consequence of receiv-
ing certain information from Russia, the Commis-
sionei s of Customs in London sent directions to the
superintendent at Gravesend to examine the cargo
of the Ward Jackson, and in the meantime refused.
a clearance order. The examination revealed the fact
that the cargo consisted of powder and firearms, in-
tended to aid the Poles in the insurrection going on.
in Poland, and directions were given for the goods
incorrectly described to be seized, as they were
liable to forfeiture. The defendant, as was
ter of the vessel, was informed of this, but he
eft Gravesend with his vessel for sea, and took two
Customs' officers on board as far as Southend. Here
they landed, and about 200 Poles, who were at
Southend, awaiting the art ival of the Ward Jack-
son, boarded her. By this conduct the defendant
qad made himself liable under the Enlistment Act,
'nit this he (Mt. Beverley) did not take up, and
mly asked the magistrate to mulct the defendant in
'he penalty provided for in the Act under which
he information was laid.

DrONEy MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England to day.
The prospectus has just appeared of a new mone-
tary institution, which though novel as a joint stock
undertaking in this country, one similar to it has
nevertheless been established many years in France,
and proved no less useful to that portion of the
commercial public it was formed to serve than re-
munerative to its large body of proprietors. The
name of the new institution is the "London
Financial Association," and its object is the
negotiation of debentures and bonds, making
advances on railway and other securities, on mort-
gage or title dek s, and on large public works in
progress of conscructien. The directors will also
undertake money agencies, receive deposit loans,
and transact all descriptions of financial business
on commission. No promotion money will be paid,
the preliminary expenses are to be confined within
proper proportions, and the remuneration of directors
will commence only after the payment of a mini-
mum dividend of 5 per cent. to the shareholders,
while a sum equal to one-fifth only of the surplus
shall be set aside for the services of the board. The
capital of the company is in the first instance limited
to £1,C00,000 in shares of £5O each.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are, in round figures, as under :

IRON-CLADS.

._.-
The presence before Charleston of three distinct
types of iron-clads, represented by the Monitors, the
Keokuk and the Ironsides, affords an interesting
means of comparing the relative merits of the dif-
ferent models, The test is, however, hardly a fair
one, as some of the vessels were much more exposed
to fire than others. It would have been interestig,
for example, to have seen how the Ironside,s woubld
have behaved under the amount of fire received y
r a.w wroughtin a aau
the Keokuk, and under the same range at which she
was placed. This would also have afforded the means
