THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—The annual dinner
of this long-established and valuable institution took
place yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the
especial patronage and presidency of his Grace the Duke
of Northumberland, whose ancestor was, more than a
century ago, its founder. Amongst the company present
were—the Hon. Captain Maude Sir W. Stirling, Mr. H.
Burke, the Rev. Dr. Hare, Mr. Hawes, Dr. Copeland,
Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Wyatt. About 140 guests sat
down to dinner, which was served in splendid style.
The occasion was not an ordinary one, the governors
having just brought to a successful and satisfhotory con-
clusion some very extensive improvements and altera-
tions in the construction of the hospital. The venti-
lation has been re-arranged, a laundry established,
rooms for superior nurses provided, and great changes
effected in the different offices of the establishment.
Fireproof staircases have also been introduced, and the
passages have been so arranged that during cold weather
the general temperature of the hospital will be subject
to little variation. With the exception of subscriptions
specially in aid of the building, and amounting in all to
less,than 5001., and of 1,6001. expended en the erection
of a new ward under the will of the late Lady Murray,
the whole expenses of the alterations effected have been
defrayed from the accumulated 'funds of the hospital.
Lady Murray's ward will contain fifteen beds, and will
cost 2001. per annum more than the interest of the sum
invested for its endowment. To meet the loss arising
from the expenditure of the vested capital of thi;e

FIRE AT LIVERPOOL. —On Wednesday night a
destructive fire broke out in the iron foundry of Messrs.
Pearson' and Co., of this town. On the alarm being
given, erOaes were quickly on the spot, but the flames
had already taken firm hold of the building, and access
being difficult, they raged with unsubdued violence for
some time. It was at one time feared that the fire would
reach the adjoining timber-yards, but by the judicious
exertions of the firemen the communication was fortu-
nately prevented. The loss is estimated at 5,0001. The
fire, as seen from the Cheshire coast, presented a most
alarming appearance, the ships in the river and the
whole town being illuminated by the flames.
