KING'S COLLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday after-
noon a quarterly court of the governors was held at the
Board-room' Portugal-street, Liccoln's Inn-fields, the
Right Hon. Lord Redstock in the chair. The minutes
of the former court having been confirmed, the secre-
tary read the report for the past six months, which
showed that between Lady-day (when 112 patients
were in the Ileum ) and Michaelmas 664 applicants had
been rtceivt d into the wards, upwards of three-fourths
being unprovided with letters of recommendation. Ot
this number 574 were discharged cured or relieve d, 98
remained in the hospital, 80 died, and 20 were found in-
curable or were discharged for irregularity. The out-
patients during the half year numbered 11,588, includ-
ing 238 poor married women attended during confine-
merit. The total number of recorded eases since the
opening of the charity amounted to 145,772, upwards of
11,400 being in-patients. It was reported that the funds
for the last quarter had proved deficient by nearly 6001.,
owing to the txpenses incurred by the immediate ad-
mission and treatment of cholera and diarrhcei patients
during the recent visitation. The Earl of Carlisle having
been elected vice-president of the hospital, the resigna-
tion of the Duke of Sutherland from the office of
president, on account of illness, was received, the reso-
lution expressing the regret of the meeting, end also its
gratitude for the liberality and support evinced by bis
Grace towards the hospital. Thanks having been voted
to Lord Radstock (the chairman) the proceedings ter-
minated.

SOCIETY FOR THE ABOLITION OF BURIALS IN
TOWNS.—Yesterday a meeting of this society was held
at its rooms, Bridge•street, Blackfriars. The chairman
presented a scheme for extramural burial, as regards the
metropolis, which was read by the secretary. The
measures recommended in this document were as fol-
lows:—" 1. That a general s) stem of extramural
sepulture shall be forthwith organized throughout
Great Britain. 2. That medical men be appointed to
fill the ancient office of ' searcher,' and that no body be
removed for interment without a certificate of death.
3. That the interment of the dead during the summer
months within a period of days be compulsory. 4.
That for London. common land in the neighbourhood of
railways should be appropriated for general cemeterial
purposes, branch lines conveying the funeral trains into
the ground itself, as proposed by Mr. Walker to the
Select Committee on Interment in Towns in 1842. 5.
That a central administration be appointed to undertake
every service (except religious) connected with the
burial of the dead at fixed and specified charges, which
latter should not exceed certain maxima' laid dowa
therein. 6. That the duty of providing for the inter-
ment of the dead be exclusively confined to the afore-
said administration." The report was unanimously
adopted, and the meeting directed that it should be
printed and circulated.
PEDESTRIANISM.—The great walking match so
much talked of came off in tue vicinity of Dundalk on
Monday, at the Black Bock. The distance was 50 milee,
to be performed in 12 hours, by Lieutenant Massingbcrd,
of' the 13th Dragoons. He commenced operations at
hall-past six o'clock in the morning, and won gallantly,
having 40 minutes to spare. The match was against
time, and there were heavy bets depending on it. The
last mile was performed in 10 minutes. At the conclu-
sion the gallant officer was as fresh as when ho started.
He was loudly cheered by the assembled multitude, and
the houses at the Black Rock were illuminated.—Newry
Examiner.
