FISTULA. INFIRMARY.
(TENS DAY,)
A spreial meeting of the governors of this institution
was held this day at one o'clock, at the London Tavern;
the Right lion. the Lord Mayor in the chair.
The object of the meeting was to consider the pro•
pric ty of altering the name of the hospital frornits present
name to that of the " St. Andrew's Hospital." Mr. Bond
Cabbell having tnade the institution a munificent gift of
land in the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn, for the
erection of a new building, which is estimated at the
value of 3,0001. or 4,0001, one of the cotAtions of the
grant was, that the institution should henceforth be
called " The St. Andrew's Hospital for the cure of
diseases of the lower intestines."

Some discussion took place as to wh9ther the name
of the hospital should be altered or not before the new
building was erected.
Mr. MASTER3IAN intimated, on the part of Mr. Bond
Cabbell, that it was not his whir to have the name
altdred until the building was finished. When the
treasurer had 2,000/. in hand for its erection, the land
should be conveyed to the institution.
The proposition and its conditions were accepted.
A cordial vote of thanks to Mr. Bond Cabbell having
been passed for his munificent gift, and also to the
g, the meeting separated.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. WITJIAM, for the Assistant-Judge.)
The September general sessions wt.() commenced this
morning at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwdl•green, Mr.
Witham presiding in the absence of the Assist-tilt-
Judge. The calendar is comparatively light, and there
are but seventy prisoner; for trial.

William "lottery and Wallin: Jones, both sixteen
years of age, and distinguished from the general mass
of youths indic'ed hero for picking pockets, by being
described in the calendar as able to read and write,
were convicted of attempting to steal a pocket handker-
chief from the person of James Pidgeon, on the pier of
the halfpenny steam-boats, at Ivy Bridge-lane, Adelphi.
It appeared that the prisoners, as well as the prosecutor,
were passengers by the boat from London-bridge pier,
and the boys were both seen trying Mr. Pidgeon's
pocket, and ona of them drew oat the handerchief and
gave it to the other, who immediately concealed it be.
tween his 'cgs. Flottery, however, now denied that he
had any participation in the theft, and protested that ho
had never committed a dishonest act in his lire. Jones
said it was his first offence. Ho did not put his hand
into the-pccket, but the handkerchief was hanging out.
He prayed hard for a lenient sentence.
Neither of the prisoceri W 39 known to the officers of
the House of Correction or of the cow t, and it did not
appear that they were old offlndm.

The CHAIRMAN sentenced them to b 3 imprisoned each
six months and kept to hard labour.
They seemed quite astoun.led at the sentence, and
wept bitterly, Fluttery continuing to protest his inno-
cence until he was removed from the dock.
The ether cases tried this morning were of a very
trivirl charac:er.

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN.
SIR,--I read in your inestimable paper of last even•
ing the extraordinary application made to the Lord
Mayor respecting the notorious Wood, and the ap-
prehension entertained lest he should be liberated
through bribery. Rest assured he is in safe hands, not
at Bou!ope but Arniene, the chef lieu of the Depart-
partment where the offence was committed. The
Procurcur de la R6publique will we that justice is
done; and if such individua!3 as the Duke do Preslin
could not escape, there is no chance for the indivi-
dual in question.

I am. Sir, yours,

THE NEW BELGIAN PROCESS FOR DRESSING
FLAX.-At the monthly meeting of the Royal Flax So-
ciety, in 13elfast, some conversation ensued upon the
system of M. de Changy, of Brussels, as illus!rated by
samples lately shown by that gentleman, at the Royal
Exhibition in tie Limn Hall. Ile states his method to
be independent of steeping in water, and that the rotting
of the flax can be thoroughly accomplished in a few
hours, the means employed being partly chemical and
partly mechanical. The committee thought it very de-
sirable that his process should be fully investigated, and
to this end samples of Iri,h flax, in straw and in fibre,
had been furnished him by the society, and by Messrs.
James Boomer and Co., and S. K. Muliholland and
llinds, to be operated upon ned returned.—/Vorthern

have had two deaths, one of our meu, and a 3 oath about
nineteen." .
