CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.
Sweir
On Monday a special court was held in consequence of
*
a requisition numerously signed, for the purpose of con-
Scotch'
sidering what steps should be taken by the court in re-
for bi
ference to the office of President of Christ's Hospital, _
now vacant.
The LORD MAYOR assured the court that he was no
party to the requisition, but that, on the contrary, he
had declined to give any opinion as to the propriety of
summoning the members upon the occasion. He hoped,
however, as he was a candidate for the office, that they
would allow him to make a few observations on4he sub-
ject of the approaching election for the office. (Hear,
hear.) He considered that if he hesitated to stand for
the presidency of the hospital, he would cast a reflection
upon himself as Lord Mayor. He had consulted the
City Solicitor and the Town Clerk, and he had asked
the opinion of several grave and experienced men, all of
whom concurred in believing that he had no alternative.
(Hear, hear.) His lordship then proceeded to quote
from the records of the corporation from the commence-
rs snt of the institution to the death of Alderman Thomp-
son, the unbroken chain of instances in which the office
had been held by members of the Court of Aldermen,
and declared that upon public grounds alone, and in de-
fence of the rights and privileges of the corporation, he
had determined in the most vigorous manner to resist the
attempt at interference. (Cheers.)
Deputy BOWER rose to move " that the office of 'pre-
sident of Christ's Hospital having for a great many years
been uniformly filled by a member of the Court of Alder-
men, this court is of opinion that no reason exists for a
departure from that precedent, and that the appoint-
ment of any other person, however exalted, to that
honourable office, would be an infringement of the an-
cient privileges of this corporation, and prejudicial to
the independence and interests of the citizens of Lon-
don." FHe thought the court was bound to make a show
of opposition, when such an attempt was made to take
from the citizens of London a privilege which had existed
for so many years. How it was, he would ask, that
commercial men who had hitherto so admirably headed
the institution, were to be interrupted as to their right
of succession to the office Why had those who con-
ducted the antagonistic movement looked for a candidate
elsewhere ? (Hear, bear.) Because they were anxious
to monopolise the power of the president themselves, and
knew that their candidate would not prevent their exer-
cise of that authority. But he thought that if the Duke
of Cambridge saw, by a fair statement of the claims of
the corporation, that his Royal Highness was made the
instrument of an unfair invasion of their privileges, he
would withdraw from so unseemly an exhibition. (Hear,
hear.)
Deputy LOTT seconded the motion. He agreed with
the mover that the almoners, in conjunction with the
treasurer, were seeking to have everything in their own
way, and the election of the Duke of Cambridge would,
he had no reason to doubt, effect that object by throw-
ing the duties of the office into their hands A glance at
the list of the names of the committee of his royal high-
ness was a sufficient test of the motives by which it was
-ought to influence the election. The governors who
were governors by privilege were in fact mere ciphers in
the Christ Hospital transactions. The donation gover-
nors exercised all the power. He did not consider the
present a personal movement at all. (Hear, hear.) It
was the commencement of a series of innovations, and
he hoped it would be met by a resistance proportioned
to the force of the mischievous object of the enemies of
the corporation. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. ABRAHAM rose in no unfriendly spirit to move an
amendment. He concurred in the opinions expressed by
the mover and seconder, but the resolution in his opinion
contained controversial matter which it might not be ju-
dicious to adopt under the circumstances. lie could not
subscribe to the doctrine that the election of the Duke
of Cambridge would be subversive of the ancient pri-
vileges of the corporation. The corporation could
claim no exclusive privilege in an election of the
(Hear, hear.) He would be sorry to see
any person except the Lord Mayor in the chair at
Christ's Hospital, but ho believed the best thing the
court ctould do would be to engage in an immediate and
active canvass for his lordship, and under that impres-
sion he proposed as an amendment, " That this court
sees no r.s.ason for a departure from the long existing
custom of appointing a member of the Court of Alder-
men to the presidential chair of Christ's Hospital, and
pledges itself to assist the Lord Mayor in obtaining that
office."
Deputy CORTi EY thought the question ought to be re-
ferred to the consideration of the Court of Aldermen,
who were well a-ble to judge whether their privileges
were invaded by the act of bringing forward the Duke
of Cambridge.
Alderman SALOStONS said the court ought to give
utterance to their opinion of what they had reason to
consider to be an innovation upon their privileges. He
was against any wanton or unnecessar
as y change, and he
spoke as a donation governor as well a governor by
corporate privilege.
Mr. W. JONES approved of the amendment, as a mode
of avoiding personal matter and satisfactorily accom-
plishing the object the court had at heart.
Deputy DAKIN and other members strongly supported
the original motion, and Mr. ABRAHAM withdrew his
amendment.
The previous question was then put, as was the
amendment, but was soon after withdrawn, the court
having shown convincing proofs of their approval of t
the
e
motion of Deputy Bower—which, upon being pby
Town Clerk, was unanimously and amidst acclamations
agreed to.
The court then adjourned.

The regulations under which the different articles are
to be delivered in bulk by the Commissariat to each
regiment and then distributed in detail will probably be
left to Lord Raglan to determine, and his lordship will,
no doubt, fix a limit to the quantity allowed to officers
and men, in order that tie boon thus conferred may not
be converted to other pufposes than the soldier's benefit.
The importance of this precaution is pointed out in the
Treasury minute, it being very naturally presumed that
in the article of beer especially the predilections of our
troops are likely to undergo no change from service in
the East. The foregoing arrangement must give great
satisfaction not only to those gallant fellows who will
be directly benefited thereby, but also to their country-
men at home who will have all the more confidence in
the triumph of our arms when they know that the
" pluck " of our soldiers is sustained by a liberal Com-
missariat. Should the plan succeed with the expe-
ditionary force, as is expected, it will probably be ex-
tended to the troops ordinarily serving abroad ; but, as
our policy is now to let our colonies not only govern
but defend themselves, the diminished number of soldiers
required for foreign service will enable us, without any
serious loss to the revenue, to make suitable provision
for their comfort. It is to the honour of the East India
Company that they set the example in this respect, but
the Treasury are entitled to commendation for this
additional proof of their attention to the wants of the
soldier,

SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 21.

Capt. Austin, R.N., the Admiralty Superintendent of
Packets at this port, has received instructions to survey
the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer
Colombo, of 1,800 tons and 450-horse power, and report
upon her capacity for the conveyance of troops. The
Colombo is being coaled and prepared for sea, and may
be made available for the transport service at two or
three days' notice. In the event of her being chartered
by the Government, the Sultan would be despatched
with the India and China mails of the 4th of April,
which are at present arranged to be taken out by the
Colombo.
It is expected that the 38th regiment will embark
from this port in a faw days for the East by the Royal
mail steamer Magdalena, which has been held at the
disposal of the Government for the last fortnight.

PORTSMOUTH, MAuca

The St. Vincent, 102, Captain Scott, is progressing
fast with her rigging. She has main and mizen topmasts
up and fidded, and foretopmast slung ready for hoisting
on board.
The Caesar, 91 (screw), Captain Robb, is swinging at
Spithead for the adjustment of her compasses.
A survey has been held to-day upon the state of the
Penelope, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain Lyster, with the
view of snaking her available for further immediate ser-
vice in this emergency.
The Gladiator, 6, paddle-frigate, has been brought to
the steam factory jetty to-day to receive her new shaft.
She is to be ready for commission by the 3d proximo.
The Resistance, 42, troop-ship, Master Commander
Bradshaw, hauled out of dock to the fitting-basin this
afternoon to complete for sea.
The Cuckoo, steam-vessel, arrived this morning from
the eastward, with seamen and supernumeraries for the

Savage, R.M.A., Instructor in Fortification at the
Royal Naval College, and other scientific officers. We
abstain from minutely describing the object from pru-
dential motives.
The Gorgon, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, Commander
Cumming, completed the adjustment of her compasses
to-day, and will bend sails to-morrow, preparatory to
dropping out to Spithead, where the St. George, 121,
Cmsar, 91, Prince Regent, 90, and Desperate, 8, re-
main at anchor.
The 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, under the command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Chester, paraded this morning, at
10 o'clock, in the Governor's field, within Portsmouth
Garrison, in heavy marching order. Major-General
Simpson went through the ranks and inspected the arms,
accoutrements, and kits of the men. This regiment is in
the highest state of efficiency, and eager for active ser-
vice. It is expected to embark shortly for Turkey.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 21.
Her Majesty's screw steam-ship James Watt, 91,

Hosken, was yesterday moved from the sheer-hulk to
the jetty, to be rigged by seamen riggers.
The crew of the steam-vessel Conflict bent sails yes-
terday. She will go out of harbour to-day.

COMPARATIVE REWARDS OF MR. COBDEN
AND COLONEL THOMPSON.

While freely acknovrledging the great and import..
services rendered by Mr. Richard Cobden—now of Rus.
sian alliance notoriety—to the Anti-Corn-Law League,
we cannot forget that the veteran reformer, Colonel Per-
ronet Thompson, was really and truly the prime mover,
the prompter, and master-spirit of that movement.
Colonel Thompson was a staunch repealer before Mr.
Cobden commenced the agitation. He embodied His
e
spirit of the League before the League existed.
Anti-Corn-Law catechism, tracts, and other publications,
furnished the arguments from which Mr. Cobden and
others drew their irresistible appeals to the reason and
common-sense of the country. Colonel Thompson was
a platform speaker also. He took an active and public
share in the movement, and was everywhere one of the
most popular advocates of the cause. But, though pos-
sessing the principal merit, he left to Mr. Cobden the
lion's share of the glory.
Posterity will do Colonel Thompson justice ;
but has he received justice at the hands of the pre-
sent generation ? So far is this from being the case,
that we find Mr. Cobden at this moment in posses-
sion of an ample fortune, as the acknowledged re-
ward of his anti-corn-law labours, while, on the
other band, the veteran Colonel Thompson has not
only never been rewarded, but has been subjected to a
species of persecution on account of the active and im-
portant part which he took in the same and similar move-
ments. His name has been omitted in the promotions,
and he has been expressly declared disqualified fromne apl
-
pearing "in any future brevet." The gallant colo
has in vain applied for restoration. No moral offence—
no dishonourable conduct—no seditious practices are
laid to his charge. He never followed the Chartist
banner of any agitating demagogue. Yet, as the
reward of his public services, instead of receiving a
public donation of sixty or seventy thousand pounds, he
has been degraded from the army list, and declared dis-
qualified from appearing in any future brevet. Of course
the real mottves are not assigned. His disqualification
is attributed to some disputed matter of form. Yet there
can be no mistake in the case. The motives that ani-
mate the authorities in the Horse Guards are too appa-
rent. An indignant protest which the Colonel has
recently published, concludes thus—
" Not to leave anything uncertain, I wind up with say-
ii ig that my claim is for restoration to my place in the
A rmy List, from which I conceive I have been unjustly
IT moved in revenge for my public conduct on the Corn
L. sws and the Queen's succession."
And again, in another letter, showing "H
ow public
se, ,:vices are rewarded "
" There is something very disagreeable in being
supposed
to &al in hints and insinuations. I therefore state distinctly
miy belief, that I have been degraded by orted
the military authori-
ties on false pretences, in vengeance for having
supp
in. Parliament the cause of Reform and Legitimate Succes-
s' ion to the Throne, the only preventive for which in future
will be to bring the Government of the Army under a con-
stitutional minister, removable as other mini.sterits, inc
the
lud-
ing the governors of the Navy, are, by majories o
House of Commons."
The nation ought to take up this matter. It is a dis-
grace to the country that Colonel Perronet Thompson
should suffer persecution and injustice for fighting the
battles of the people, while Richard Cobden, his disciple
and copyist, and who has done nothing but blunder in
everything lie undertook himself, should not only pilfer
the glory but run away with the prize.—Seeta Referiner's

KeOth'it A few man rolled on, alid nieey per.
sons were under the:, impression that thele-IPfoulmi
would not be kept. Dr. Power, 'member ft it,
:ounty, soon after got an appointment undse:the Gsa
iment, and a new election took place for Cork and.
Vincent Scully because a candidate. Mr. Keogh'
, !present at that election, and stated, among other
things, that "So help him eod! no matter what the
Ministry might be that should be in office, he should.
oppose them until they had consented to grant the de-
mands of universal Ireland." That he put in as contain-
ing an oath on the part of Mr. Keogh.
In reply to Mr. Keogh, Mr, Lucas stated that, to the
best of his recollection, he cut those extracts out of the
Nation, a Dublin paper, which, he believed, had copied
them from the Cork Examiner. He had not referred to
the Cork Examiner to see if they were correctly' quoted,
but he had referred to a gentleman who had been pre-
sent, and he assured him the words were used ,by Mr.
Keogh. Mr. Lucas then read an extract from-another
speech made by Mr. Keogh, in which be stated that he
would oppose every Government which should not grant
Mr. Sharman Crawford's Landlord and Tenant Bill. He
(Mr. Lucas) charged that, Mr. Keogh:: accolitance of
office was a violation of those promises and pledges.
Mr. G. E. H. Vernon—Do you know that, during all
Mr. Keogh's political career, he was connected with the
party whichsare now in power
Mr. Lucas—No, I did not. It was understood that
Mr. Keogh wished to be attached to an independent
party.
Mr. Vernon—Was there not a vote of thanks passed
at a meeting of the Defence Association to Lord Aber-
deen, the Duke of Newcastle, Mr. Sidney Iferhert, Sir
J. Graham, and others, in which Mr. Keogh joined
Mr. Lucas—Yes, and in that vote I most heartily
joined, because I considered that the individuals named
had done us great service by their conduct on the Ecele-
siastieal Titles Bill.
Mr. Vernon—l do not wish to go into any party
question, but I ask you was there anything inconsistent
in Mr. Keogh taking office under ouch men
Mr. Lucas repeatd that he thought Mr. Keogh was
not justified.
In reply to Mr. Keogh, Mr. Lucas said it was the
fact that the paper which he conducted (the Tablet), and
several other Irish papers, opposed his election ; and, as
far as they had the opportunity, they did all they could
to prevent his being elected. Notwithstanding this he
was returned by 'a very large majority over his oppo-
nent.
In reply to questions, by Mr. Butt and other hon.
members of the coniunttee, Mr. Lucas said that the
letter which. he had produced on a former day from Mr.
O'Flaherty to Mr. Swift, M.P., soliciting subscriptioue
towards Mr. Keogh's election expenses, and in which it
was stated that among the subscribers was Mr. Sidney
Herbert as a subscriber of 1001 he had got from Mr.
•Swift himself, and that it was looked upon-by Mr- Swift
as by no means a confidential communication, as Mr.
Swift was but very slightly acquainted w.lith Mr. O'Fla-
herty, and did not seek the communic atioa--it -was
thrust upon him.
In reply to Mr. Bright, he said he did not bring any
charge whatever against Mr. Sidney garbed ; but he
considered that his subscribing to Mr. Keogh's election
expenses was a proof of Mr. Keogh's intention not to
carry out his promises. How far Mr. Sidney -Herbert
was aware of Mr. Keogh's oaths and promisms, lie (Mr.
Lucas) could not of course say.
By JYlx.Vernon—lie did not consider thatth conduct
of the present Peelite party, towards the Roma a Catho-
lic Church in Ireland, was such as would just tify Mr.
Keogh, or other Irish members, taking office in tder or
supporting the government.
Mr. Lucas then referred to and read some adv ertise-
ments from the Times offering doticeurs for Goveri iment
situations. He knew 'nothing personally of tikooe ad-
vertisements; but he regarded them as collateral proof
of situations being procured by members of 1)=11a:1:tent.
for pecuniary considerations.
Mr. IV. Ford, town clerk of Dublin, and a solicitor,
was next examined. He said he was acquainted with
the late Mr. Sheil for 35 years. He heard a converssv
tion with reference to Irish membeta at which Mr.'
Shen was present. That conversation had been partly
detailed by Mr. Lucas on a previous day, to the effect
that Lord J. Russell had made a great blunder, and
could never again get the support of a Rosman Catholic,
and that Mr. Shell replied, " Pooh ! M--(naming a
Treasury official) holds the Irish members in the hollow
of his hands." The witness now entered into several
details of the conversation alluded to, and he said that
he believed it was himself, and not Mr. 'Shell, who
made use of the phrase in question, and that Mr.
Shell assented to it ; and he (the witness)' said that
he supposed the Government imagined " they
hail
the Irish members like greyhounds in the leash?'
Witness said that Lord John Russell must have
been made to write the Durham letter, and Mr.
Shell said lie had been in conversation with
Lord John Russell a day or two before, and on
Mr. Shell saying to Lord John Russell that that letter
would give the priests all the power at the next election,
and in reply to that Lord John Russell remarked that
he had always found that the Irish members voted with
the government, even though they were returned by the
priests.
By Mr. Butt—When he made use of the phrase as to
'lrish members being" heldilike greyhounds in the leash,"
he had no particular member in his mind. That con-
versation between Lord J. Russell and Mr. Shell re-
ferred to the then recent alterations in the Irish fran-
chise, and pot to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which did
not come on till afterwards.
At the conclusion of Mr. Ford's examination.
The committee ieljeurned, until I'2 o'clock to-morrow
