ST. THOMAS'S 110SPITAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Permit me to draw your attention to the
following important article, published in the Lancet
of this day's date; and as the medical world con-
sider almost official the statements that appear in
that journal, I hope you will aid the suffering poor
with your powerful lvooacy, In accordance with
the views expressed in our most important medical
paper.

The _Lancet states :—" It is rumoured—but we,
cannot credit the rumour—that the authorities of
S'. Thomas's Hospital are about to decide in favour
of Potts' vinegar ground as the site of the new
hospital. Of all the sites that have been talked
of, this is about the most unsuitable. Gasworks
overshadow it, and buildings enclose it on every
side. Every provision there exists for surrounding
the patients in an atmosphere redolent with multi-
farious stenches and soot, and rebounding with the
din of artisans and traffic. The space, moreover,
is absurdly insufficient. The question is one of
such high public importance, that there ought to
be held a Borough meeting to discuss it Without
delay."
Now, as every word above quoted is undoubtedly
true, surely such a situation can never be coun-
tenancEd by the authoritative powers in whom the
selection of a site is invested.
I speak not of other sites, but only raise my
humble veto against such an abomination as Potts'
vinegar yard being for a single instant deemed an
eligible spot for so important an institution as St.
Thomas's Hospital.

I am, sir, your most obedient servant,

TIIE LASH.—On Saturday morning week Private
Jones, of the Ist battalion 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, re-
ceived 50 lashes in the barrack-square, Weimer, pursuant
to a sentence by a court martial, for striking the provost
sergeant. When he received the first four lashes he made
a u further emotion. After the last stroke he exultingly sang
out _Domini, which was understood by the soldiers to mean
"bravo." The flogging will be followed by six months'
imprisonnamt.—Kentish Gazette.

LATEST NEWS.

PARIS, MARCH 11, EVENING.
In the Corps Legislatif to-day Baron David op-
posed the views of M. Favre.
M. Keller denied that there was any ground for
the complaints accumulated against the Papal Go-
vernment. He maintained that the unity of Italy
was a Mazzinian idea, alike hostile to the Church
and to France.

M. Keller asked for a distinct explanation whe-
ther a vote of confidence was required, with the
object of prolonging the occupation of Rome, or to
support an arrangement the rejection of which
would bring about the withdrawal of the French
troops. He considered it impossible to vote the
Address this year.

PARIS, MARCH 11, EVENING.
The debate upon the Address to the Emperor
was continued to-day in the Corps Legislatif.

M. Favre brought forward his amendment to
Paragraph 4, relating to the affairs of Italy. He
considered the policy of the Government uncertain
and dubious. The language held by the Govern-
ment and its policy leave so many interests in sus-
pense that the representatives of the country could
not but entreat the Government to relinquish a
position which furnished a pretext for accusations
of duplicity, for at Rome it was in presence of two
irreconcileable principles. M. Favre opposed the
occupation of Rome.

The Patrie of this evening states that the mis-
sion of General Scott to Mexico has been under-
taken to conclude a convention with Juarez allow-
ing an immediate indemnification of the Powers.
It considers that this would prove a real protec-
torate.

The Pays pretends to have received information
that the Allies have advanced without opposition to
the vicinity of Mexico.

GENOA, IVIARCH 10.

The Provvedimento Committee,. in its sitting o:
to-day, elected Garibaldi as its POside'nt-in-Chief.

A letter from Mazzini having been read, Gari-
baldi was authorized to demand his recall from the

Government.

The Committee has adopted the principle of
universal suffrage, and will address a petition to
that effect to the Italian Parliament,

ROME, MARCH 11.

Last night, after the solemn reception of the
French Ambassador by the Pope, a grand demon-
stration took place.
All the Cardinals, the entire personnel of the
Papal Court, the members of the diplomatic body,
the Roman nobility bringing flowers, with some
citizens and numerous strangers, assembled.

A great crowd collected today before the resi-
dence of the Marquis de Lavalette, which was de-
corated with rare magnificence.

CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN

MAILS.

The Sultan, with the above mails, left Malta for
Marseilles on the 10th inst., at 5 p.m.

SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ITALY.

Sir G. BOWYER gave notice that on the motion for
going into committee of supply on a future evening he
would draw the attention of the house to the state of Cen-
tral and South Italy.
THE REVISED CODE.

Lord R. CECIL asked the Vice President of the Com-
mittee of Council, if it is intended, under the revised edition
of the revised code, to abolish any of the lectureships in
the training colleges ; and, if so, when that abolition is to
take effect.

Mr. LOWE replied in the negative.
SHANGHAI.

Col. SYKES asked the Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs whether, in the anticipated attack of the city of
Shanghai by the Taipings, it was intended to preserve a
strict neutrality between the Imperialists and the Taipings,
due provision being made for the safety of the foreign set-
tlements in the neighbourhood of Shanghai; and whether
there was any foundation for a statement in a Paris paper
that the French representatives at Shanghai have invited
the English authorities to join in military operations for
the recapture of Ningpo from the Taipings.
Mr. LAYARD said that the Government, considering
the value of the property belonging to British subjects at
Shanghai, had adopted means to secure the preservation of
that property. With respect to the second question, he
begged to say that there was no information received at the
Foreign. office in reference to the matter to which it related.
DEFENCE OF THE PORT OF GREAT YAR-
MOUTH.

Sir H. STRACEY asked the Secretary of State for War
if it was the intention of the Government to carry out the
purport of a correspondence between the Mayor of Yar-
mouth and the Secretary of State for War, in 1859, rela-
tive to rendering the port of Great Yarmouth in a proper
state of defence ?
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that it was not considered neces-
sary by Government to adopt any means to render the port
of Great Yarmouth in any more defensive position than
it occupied at present.

ITALY.
A letter from Turin of the 9th, in the Debats,

says
" The declarations of Baron Ricasoli no longer
admit of the Ministry being attacked in its origin.
Its acts must be waited for. M. Ratazzi's pro-
gramme has been approved of by every one; the
only criticism that I have heard on it is that it is
somewhat vague upon certain points, but that it is
the fault of all programmes, which require to be
commented on by acts. It thus becomes probable
that the Ministry will for some time go on with-
out too many obstacles, and that the dissolution of
the Chambers will not be necessary. M. Lanza is,
however, very active in his opposition. He has
convoked for this evening the former majority, at
the meetings of which he presided formerly. It is
especially against M. Cordova that the outcry is
raised. The journal, the Diritto, which attacks
M. Cordova most severely, is in the hands of the
members of the pro-dictators, with which M. Cor-
dova has been in direct opposition. That Minister
wished yesterday to resign, but the council refused
to permit him, thinking rightly that it was better
not to give way to party clamours. M. Sella
spoke yesterday in the Senate for the first time,
and with success. He has come to an understand
ing with that body relative to the law on the Court
of Accounts."
The clerical journal, // Companile. of Turin,
announces that Monsignor Franzoni, the ex-Arch-
bishop of Turin, is better.

POLAND*
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WARSAW, MARCH, 1862.
The order of the Governor-General slightly
mitigating the rigorous measures of the state of
siege which continues ever since the 15th October
last, is considered by some as a prelude to another
and it is hoped a humane mode of ruling. It is
quite time that the long talked-of promises of the
Emperor, recently renewed through the mouth of
the Archbishop Felinski, should, though partly,
be carried out, and the sufferings of this brave-
spirited and most patient people be at last put an
end to. Whenever the spirit of the Poles rises, and
they become turbulent, restless, and even threaten-
ing, the Russians do not pay much attention to
such an
aspect of affairs; but when they see the
Poles calm and resigned, awaiting with a stoical
determination their hour of revenge, as it has been
and is now the case, then the enemies of Poland
become frightened, and commence to reflect seri-
ously. Hence the never-ending peasant question
was, it appears, discussed a few days ago by the
Council of State, and a definitive solution of the

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning
market were much restricted. Dry samples mo.,ed off
steadily, at fully Monday's quotations, but damr;, qualice
attracted very little alteration, yet no change took place '-
their value.
With foreign wheat we were fairly 'supplied, and tile
demand for all descriptions ruled inactive, on forger
terms.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at late
quotations.
Malting barley sold steadily, at quite previous rates,
in other kinds very little was doing.
Malt was a dull inquiry, at late 0
rates.
For oats, notwithstanding that the supply on offer fat
very moderate, the demand was in a sluggish state,
barely stationaly prices.
Beans and peas were in heavy request, at the late red
tion in their value. 00
The flour trade was dull, and American qualities c 0
ite
only be disposed of by submitting to u reduction Of 4

BOROUGH HOP.

The supply of new English hops is seasonably extensive,
and the show of foreign produce is large ; good and fine
samples, with which the market is somewhat scantily sup-
lied, moved off freely at extensive rates ; otherwise the
trade is heavy at about last week's currency. Since we
last wrote the importation into London has been as follows:
—262 bales from Antwerp, 323 Ostend, 226 Hamburg, 41
Dordt, 383 Rotterdam, 74 Ghent, 20 Harburg, and 26

English wool is in good request, and prices have an
upward tendency. Low descriptions of colouial wool have

ports into London last week were large,

711 E ARM'.

•
Major-General Eyre, commanding the forces in
the Chatham district, completed his half-yearly in-
spection of the Ist division depot brigade, Royal
Artillery, on Saturday. Major-General Eyre, who
was accompanied by Col. Nedham, commanding the
Royal Artillery in the Chatham district, first in-
spected the garrison hospital, which was found to
be in excellent order. After leaving the hospital
Major-General Eyre repaired to the garrison parade
ground, where the officers and men composing the
Ist division, numbering 700 men of all ranks, were
drawn up in line, in heavy marching order, and re-
ceived the general with the usual salute. The arms
and accoutrements of the non-commissioned officers
and men having been inspected, the division
marched past in open and close column, in slow and
quick time, subsequently to which they were put
through a variety of battalion evolutions by Lieut.-
Col. Talbot, all of which were executed with great
steadiness and precision. After as examination of
the kits the division was formed into a hollow square,
when the usual invitation was given to any man
who had a complaint to make to do so, but no re-
sponse was given. A portion of the brigade was
afterwards marched to the fortifications, when the
officers and men were put through an extended
course of gun drill with the 110-pounder Armstrongs
and the 68-pounder smooth- bore guns. The target
was laid out at a distance of 2,000 yards, the prac-
tice commencing with 68-pounder solid shot, which
was afterwards extended to the conical and segment

110-pounder Armstrong shell. The practice was
exceedingly good, and gave much satisfaction to
- the inspecting general. The inspection terminated
with Gen. Eyre visiting the provost establishment
and the range of buildings recently erected for mar-
ried troops, and inspected the official documents,
books, and accounts of the brigade.

The Prince-Jerome line-of-battle on board
of which a fire had broken ont when

Gibraltar for that purpose, and which has proceededee sent to
with
them to Mexico. A commission has been ordered to
exa-
mine the Prince-Jerome in order to decide whether it r
be necessary to disarm her, or whether she can be repaired
without proceeding to that measure.

week has been the most unfavourable of all in its returns
since the shilling admissions have commenced. The previ-
ous week, as compared with the same date in 1851, showed
a decrease of more than 60,000, or upwards of 10,000 a day.

PETROLEUM WAREHOUSES.

A report was brought up from the Streets Committee re-
commending that parties on making applications for licenses
under the Petroleum Act be required to send in full parti-
culars of the premises proposed to be used or adapted for
the storing and safe keeping of petroleum, with a view to
each place being examined and reported upon by the super-
intending architect of the board.

Mr. PHILLIPS moved that the recommendation of the
committee be agreed to, which was seconded by Mr.
DIFFA.NGER, and unanimously adopted.
The Superintending Architect brought up a report recom-
mending that no license for storing petroleum be granted
unless the warehouses were sunk below the ground, and
that the casks should not be deposited in more than ono
tier, and not placed on the top of each other.
The report was ordered to be printed and taken into con-
sideration on a future day.

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The preparations for the Great International
Fruit, Vegetable, Root, Cereal, and Gourd Show,
to commence on the Bth (Wednesday next) at South
Kensington, are being made on a large scale. Enor-
mous applications for space are hourly arriving
from the great home fruit and cereal growers and
collectors, as also vegetable producers. Indeed, it
would almost seem that space is not to be limited,
from the demands some are making for it. Nor
are foreigners idle. The Federation of the Horti-
cultural Society of Belgium is sending a large and
valuable collection of the apples and pears grown
in the country. The Government of Sweden, carry'
ing on its principle of steady peaceful advancement
has ccntributed a most valuable exhibition, col-
lected from every known fruit and vegetable
producer in its dominions. Norway also contributes.
Denmark, too, forgets not to show_ A most inte-
resting collection of every kind of apple and pear
grown in the island of Walcheren is on its way.
The Austrian Government has shown much inte-
rest in the internationality of the show, and has
promised a large contribution. Greece and Syria
also contribute. Canada will send of her splendid
fruit some prime specimens, but as these do not
ripen until late in September it is scarcely possible
they can arrive before the last few days of the
show. Nova Scotia and nearly all the North
American colonies are contributing cereals or fruits.
From Nice a fine collection of maize and also of gourds
is promised. A large and fine collection of upwards of
50 diffarent kinds of this species is also to arrive from
Namur. In gourds the society itself is not
behind-hand, and will doubtless be able to hold its
own against any competitor, upwards of 150 dif-
ferent kinds having been produced this year at Chis-
wick for this show.
From the enumeration of these few countries it
will be seen that the internationality of the Exhi-
bition is undoubted, and we venture to hope that
fine October weather may conduce to make it a very
'great success.

TEE CAREER OF LUKE PASQUIER.

M. St. Marc Girardin is now publishing in tho
Debats a series of articles on the career of Duke
Pusquier. In the last he relates the following anec-
dote :

"What constituted Napoleon's strength in nego-
tiation and in war was his army, ever formidable to
the enemy. M. Pasquier mentions a curious testi-
mony of the fear with which that force and . its chief
inspired their enemies. On the evening .of the Ist
of April,' he says, I was summoned to a council of
war at the Prince de ,
—cuwarizenuerg s, and my
opinion was asked as to the necessity of leaving
troops in Paris for the purpose of maintaining order
while the army marched towards Fontainbleau
against Napoleon.
remarked that I I hesitated to answer, and
Was not a competent judge in such
a matter. However, being pressed to reply, I said
that, in my opinion,
at least 30,000 men ought to be
ordered to remain.
All the generals present protested
against this, and maintained that only 12,000 or
15,000 could possibly be left in Pads. I then called
attention to the immense population of the capital,
its vast extent, and the necessity of occupying the
villages north of the city, where the battle of the
30th of March had been fought ; that a French
corps d'arnzee was said to be advancing on that
side; that if they attacked Paris on that side, while
the allied armies advanced along the Essonnes road.
it was greatly to be feared that the faubourgs would
rise and join the said corps d'artnee. Notwith-
standing my remarks, Prince de Schwartzenburg
declared that it was impossible to leave 30,000 men
in Paris ; the number was too great. Yet,' I re-
plied, if I may rely on the muster-rolls and the
rations demanded, the allied troops cantoned in
Paris and the environs amount to 160,000 or 170,000
men ; so that if 30,000 remain in Paris, you will
still have 130,000 men in the field.' Yes, but how
many do you think Napoleon has with him r'
