SMITHFIELD.

This being what is termed the Great Lamb Market, the
show of lambs was seasonably extensive, and of full ave-
rage weight. On the whole, a large business was trans-
acted, on higher terms. We were scantily supplied with
beasts, in which very little was doing, at Monday's cur-
rency. ;Sheep and calves were tolerably firm, at late rates;
but pigs were quite neglected.

SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—THE DREADNOUGHT.
—Yesterday afternoon the usual quarterly court of the
governors of this national charity was held at the offices,
King William-street, London-bridge Rear-Admiral
Bowles in the chair. There were also present—Hon.
Captain Maude, R.N., Captain Dixon, R.N., Captains
Farrer and Mandan, H.E.1.C.N., and Messrs. Lindsay,
Francis, Grant, Soans, Felgate, Blyth, Allnut, and
Brooking. It appeared from the report of the sittings
of the weekly board that several important molifications
had been introduced into the arrangement of the medical
staff: The minutes also recorded the reception of a
legacy of 501., less duty, from the executors of the late
Captain Johnson ; another of 1371. 18s. 10d., from the
residue of the estate of the late Colonel Purchase ; and a
third, of 2001., bequeathed by the late Miss L. Palmer ;
and likewise mentioned a pleasing recognition of the
value of the institution by the able seamen on board her
Majesty's ship Imaum, who, to set an example to their
brethren in the fleet, subscribed to the funds in small
sums the amount of 11. Bs. At the annual festival, pre-
sided over by the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, M.P.
President of the Board of Trade, there were collected, in-
cluding subscriptions from her Majesty, from the Emperors
of the French and Russia, from the Trinity Board, the
East India Company, and from several old friends of the
charity, the sum of 1,1531. Bs. sd. The total revenue for
the quarter was only 2,1581. 18s. lid., while the expendi-
ture amounted to 2,6971. 17s. 3d., showing a balance of
5381. 18s. 4d. against the institution. During the past
three months the out-patients numbered 347, while as
many as 862 were treated on board, of whom 170 are
still sick, one is convalescent, five fit for duty, and 686
have been discharged cured. The total number of pa-
tients since the opening of the hOspital has been 70,928.
The report was unanimously adopted, and the proceed-
ings terminated with a-Tote of thanks to the chairman,
