the coast of Ireland.

The only ships equipping at this port are the Indus, 84,

METROPOL LTA N HOSPITALS.—At an in-
quest held the other evening, at the Royal Free llospital,
Greville- street, on the body of an unfortunate woman who
had perished through want, combined with disease, the
Rev. R. C. Packman observed, in answer to a question
from Mr. \Vakley, the coroner, that it was the intention
of the Trustees to erect a new and extensive building, in a
healthy suburb of t.te metropolis, and to keep the
present premises in Greville-ztreet, as a receiving house
and dispensary, Mr. Wakley highly enlogis,d the inten-
tion, and said it was well worthy of the humane, inasmuch
as the sites of all the London hospitals were anything
but healthy—indeed, as a sanatory measure, it was highly
debiral:.'e at dialects rouelict-cdit on the or;giratos.
