GLASGOW, Nov. 29.—Cotton—In the early part
of the week there was a rising tendency in the cotton mar-
ket, but it closes steadily at a decline of id per lb. from the
highest point. Goods and yarns--The market was brisker
in the fore part of the week, but there was no quotable
change in prices. Iron—The pig-iron market has shown
great steadiness th is week. Again considerable parcels
have been pressed for sale, but all have been absorbed with.
out materially affecting prices. The movement for ad-
vanced wages gains strength. To-day the tone of the mar-
ket has been pretty firm ; a limited business took place at
565, one month, closing steadily. Buyers at 558 9d, prompt
cash, and 66s 6d three months; sellers asking 1d per ton
more. For shipping parcels the current quotations are :

STRANDING OF A WHALE.—The Beluga, one of
the monsters of the eeep, was left on the beach by the ebb-
ing tide, on Saturday last, at Robin Hood's Bay. It is
supposed to have been dead ten or twelve days. It mea-
sured in length 17 feet, and 12 feet 10 inches in circumfer-
ence at the thickest part. The blubber was taken off by
the fishermen the following morning. The Beluga, or
white whale, is a native of the high northern latitudes, and
is one of the most beautiful and active of its race. Its
colour is pure milk white, sometimes tinged with a rose
colour, or a slight wash of yellow, and the skin is very soft,
smooth, and slippery. The flesh of this animal is eaten by
the Greenlanders and other people of the Arctic regions.
It is as red as beef, and of somewhat similar flavour. The
female produces one or two at a birth, towards which she
displays the strongest attachment.—Yorkshire Gazette,

up the hill, Luff taking the third place, with Chester next.
In this order they ran along the far side of the course, and
into the line for the Stand, the field presenting a length-
ened tail as they passed the Enclosure. At the jump to
the right of the Stand Gladiator fell, which left Harry in
pussesion of a long lead ; but Nightingall easing him a
couple of fields from home, Chester, who was lying second
at that point, persevered, and finished six lengths in rear of
the favourite, who won, however, in the commonest of can-
ters. Nothing else passed the pest.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND
B.ROMPTON.
DISEASES OF THE CZEsi,

A quarterly court of the governors of this charity was
held on Thursday last, Captain the lion. F. Maude, R.N.,
in the chair.

The quarterly report of the committee of management
showed that since the last quarterly court the western side
of the hospital had undergone the periodical repairs, on the
completion of which the number of in-patients had again
been raised to the ordinary complement of nearly 200. The
chief event of the quarter, and which afforded cause for
thankfulness to all those interested in the welfare of the
hospital, was the payment of the sum of £6,000, the balance
of the mortgage debt of D,COO, which had long been a bur-
den on the institution. To effect this object all but the
smaller legacies had been for a considerable time invested;
and the payment of this large sum not only absorbed the
whole of the funded property, but had also nearly swallowed
up the balance in the bankers' hands. The committee, how-
ever, looked forward confidently to a continuance and ex-
tension of the support with which the charity had been
favoured by the public, in order that they might be able to
moot *ham rennatsklitip innraasinsr downstudg mum the hospital
resources on the part of the suffering poor who resort to it
from all parts of London and the country. The receipts of
the charity had been injuriously affected, doubtless, by rea-
son of the distress in Lancashire, on which the public sym-
pathy was naturally concentrated. The committee appealed
to the friends of the institution not to lose sight of the
pressing claims upon its resources, during that large portion
of the year, especially, when the consumptive poor suffer
so much from the cold and damp of this climate. In the
interests of the in-patients, and on the strong recommen-
dation of the medical committee, the committee proposed to
recommend the appointment of an honorary dental surgeon
to the hospital.

The appointment of dispenser was reported vacant by
the death of Mr. Frail, at an advanced age, after 13 years'
service.

Only four legacies had been announced during the quar-
ter, viz. :—Mrs. Elizabeth Hogg, £3OO ; Mrs. Charlotte
Holmes, £lOO reversionary; Win. Barber, Esq., £2OO, duty
free; J. A. Cropper, En., £lOO.
The number of in-patients admitted since the 7th o f
August was 293; discharged, many greatly benefited, 235.
died, 42; new out-patient cases, 1,712.
The report having been adopted by the meeting, the
proceedings closed by a cordial vote of thanks to the chair-
man.
