LONDON HOSPITAL.—A Special General Court
was held yesterday, at ten o'clock, to fill up the situation
of assistant-surgeon to the hospital, vacant by the election
of Mr. Hamilton to the office of surgeon. Wm. Davis, Esq.,
vice-president, took the chair, and called on the secretary to
read the advertisement calling the court, and the minutes of
last meeting. The candidates whose qualifications had been
examined and approved of by the committee were then an-
nounced to be Mr. Henry Geo. Critchett, and Mr. Nathaniel
Ward. The ballot was immediately after gone into, which
terminated in favour of Mr. Critchett.

PEDESTRIANISM.—COOK AND BYROM'S RACE.—
These men ran off their postponed match on Tuesday, at the
appointed place, Southall, on the Uxbridge-road. The
ground covered was from the milestone on the London side
of the village, to its twin-brother on the farther one, and
back. The men started themselves, Byrom showing the
way ; at the end of the first 400 yards, he had a dear lead
of some fifteen yards. He carried on some strong running
till he increased the distance, and Snally went in a clever
winner, by something like 30. Time,:two minutes and eleven
seconds.
Vicount and Vicountess Villiers and family ar-

THE PLEASURE MARKET AT NEW YORA
extensive business has been doing lately at New York in
the way of amusement. Templeton, Ole Den
Mayor, and Mr. and Mrs. Kean, were the principal con-
tributors to the pleasures of the

which was drawn at the Park when Mr. and Mrs. Kean
played in Sergeant Talfourd's lon. Templeton is de-
, delighting our transatlantic brethren, and reaping a rich
harvest of praise and dollars. His farewell concert at
New York was most brilliantly attended. At the con-
clusion of his brief parting address to the audience, a
shower of bouquets and wreaths of flower were thrown to
him by the fair auditors. He has gone to the south to
fulfil several engagements.—Liverpool Albion.
INCENDIARY FIRE AT MONKS' ELEIGIL —On
Thursday morning, about two o'clock, a fire broke out
in a barn situated in Monks' Eleigh Street, in the occu-
pation of Mr. R. Gage, of the Slough Farm, which was
totally consumed, containing about 8 coombs of barley,
a cart shed, and hay stack, containing from 15 to 20
tons, and a valuable cart, belonging to Mr. W. Gage,
butcher. Fortunately there was no wind at the time, or
the destruction of considerable property would have en-
sued. The Bildestoue subscription fire engine was sent
for, but owing to some misunderstanding it was not al-
lowed, which has caused some dissatisfaction. A second
application was made about two o'clock in the afternoon,
and granted, in consequence of the remaining part of
the haystack bursting out afresh. Three young men
are in custody on suspicion of having set the above pro-
perty on fire,—lpswich Express.
