found in this metropolis. A great number of patients
had, however, been sent to the St. George's Hospital, by
which means the usefulness of this charity had been im-
paired. The Chairman added, that it must be a subject
of regret that so valuable an institution as this, which
was within a stone's throw of the Houses of Legislature,
and in a poor and densely peopled district, should have
its usefulness limited by want of funds.
Lord SANDON proposed the health of the Honourable
Chairman as a liberal supporter of the public charities of
the metropolis.
Mr. B. B. CABBELL returned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the healLh of the Dean

of Westminster and the. Clergy.
The DEAN of WESTMINSTER acknowledged the com-
pliment, and remarked, that hoz,pitalt, t,f this kindin other
countries were not mainta'.ned by private charity, but by
the nation. He regarded it as a great national distinc-
tion, that this magnificent establishment was supported
by voluntary subscriptions.
Sir C. BURRELL proposed the health of the Rector and
other Clergy of St. Margaret's, to which
The Rev. J. COPE acknowledged the toast.
Several other toasts having been given, the proceed-

done with reference to the enormous overcharge of
Marylebone to the county and police rates. He felt
assured that the parish were entidcd to a reduction of
10 per cent. on their rack rents, and if that was carried
out there would necessarily be a large diminution in
their assessment to the'county and police rates, upon
which subject they had so much right to complain.
Mr. C. ELLIOT, another magistrate, considered this
a most important matter. The Vestry ought to take it
up upon. the broad question of why Marylebone should
be subject to a higher assessment than any other parish
in the county.
Mr. H. C. WILSON said the principle of reducing the
assessment was being every week partially carried out

at once to go into a general assessment.—(Hear.)
After some further discussion, it was resolved imme•

entire revision of the assessment of the parish.

REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.-As the children of
a gentleman residing in Larne were playing along the beach
near that town their attention was attract :d to the neck of a
bottle projecting out of the sand; and, upon its being un-
corked, a docoment.was found inside, of which the following
is a verbatim copy :—" September 1, 1643.—L William
