The question whether or not Christ Hospital shall
be removed into the country is to be decided at a meeting of
the Governors on Tuesday next.
Yesterday, at the sitting of the synod of the Eng-
lish Presb3 tartan Church, the subject of instrumental music
in churches was ccnsidered, and the decision arrived at was
to leave the matter in the hands of congregations to do as
they thought fit.

An order has been received at Chatham Dockyard
fixing the date for floating the Sultan, 12, armour-plated
ship, on the 17th of May.

The inquests on the bodies of the two men killed by the
falling in of a well at Ampthill, Bedfordshire, have been
concluded, and a verdict of "Accidental Death" returned.
he foreman of the jury addressed the superintendent of
the work, and told him that proper care had evidently not
been exercised. The jury hoped, however, that he would
be more careful in future.
PERRY'S MEAT PRESERVATIVE.—Amongst the
many discoveries in articles of domestic utility, none, per-
haps, will be more valued than Perry's Fresh Meat Preser-
vative, as by its means meat, fish, poultry, game, or any
other animal substance may be kept sound in any climate
for an indefinite length of time. As the warm weather ad-
-vances the great benefit of such a preservative will be at
once conceded, more especially by those whose business
compels them to have large supplies of meat ready to hand.
How much valuable food has been lost for the want of such
an article as Perry's Preservative we cannot undertake to
say, but one thing is certain, and that is, by its use the
largest consumer will be enabled for the future, after having
applied it, to hang his tempting joints in the most prominent
positions throughout the summer, without the slightest de-
triment either to their look or sweetness. To the thrifty
housewife the preservative will be highly valuable, as she
will be also in a position in the summer to prevent her
carefully-selected joint " turning in the night." The pre-
servative is a clear liquid, the articles desired to be pre.
served have but to be immersed in it, then hung up in the
ordinary manner, and for the next twelve months or more
they will be found to have retained, uninjured, all their
juicy flavour and nutritive qualities. The solution, which
can be obtained at 66, St. John-street, Smithfield, is very
cheap, and as for its efficiency some legs of mu' ton and
sibs of beef were exhibited a short time ago that bad been
hanging over five months, and they looked as fine and as
fresh as if but just cut from the carcass.

The very extensive Distillery now being erected
at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of
Irish whisky, by 'Stems. DUNVILLE & Co., who have gained
