SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—The quarterly ge-
neral meeting was held on Thursday afternoon at the rooms of
the institution in King William-street, when the chair was
taken by Mr. John Labouchere. A petition to the House of
Commons, in opposition to the Charitable Trusts Bill, IVA 9
read and agreed to, as the principles were considered both
needless and vexatious. So stringent were the regulations,
that it was stated, should the Bill pass, one of the metropo-
litan hospitals would be closed. The report stated that there
had been received during the past quarter on board the
Dreadnought, as patients, 17 from her Majesty's ships, 555.
from British and foreign vessels, and remaining on board on
the lst of January, 178. There were on board 162 sick, 1
convalescent, and 3 fit for duty ; whilst the number of out-
patients, from Jan. 1 to March 31, was 313. The balance of
cash in hand was 466/. 15s. Scl., and the funds were in a very
prosperous condition. It was also announced that the num-
ber of patients who had received the benefits of the institu-
tion since its establishment was 57, 767.
THE QUARTERLY RECEIPTS AT THE LIVERPOOL
Cutrrom-riousE.—We have again at this pert a decreasing
quarterly revenue, arising principally from the reductions in
raw materials and articles of consumption in this district.
The gross revenue of the corresponding quarter of last year,
viz., the three months ending the sth of April, 1845,
amounted to 928,9731. To the 4th of April this year, up to
which date the return is made up, the receipts are only
793,4241., thus showing a deficit of 135,549L—Liverpool
Standard.

in Upper Canada the number of insane by far exceeds the
idiotic; this is attempted to be explained by the different
origin of the population. The inhabitants of Lower Canada
are nearly all of French origin—those of Upper Canada

INCREASE AND DIMINUTION OF SALARIES (PUBLIC
OFFlCES).—According to a return just issued by order of the
House of Commons, it appears that in the year 1845 there
was an increase in the various, public offices or departments
of 2,267 persons employed. Of these, 2,035 were engaged in
the Yost-officedepartment of the United Kingdom, and 102
in the CUStoms. In various offices or departments, however,
in the same rar, there was a diminution in the number of
individuals engaged
cise, and 49 at Chelsea envital. The total increase in sala-
ries, emoluments, retired illoslsances, and expenses during
the year, was 129,879/, and the total diminution of expen-
diture resulting from the reductions in others of the public
offices amounted to 67,7541., leaving a balance of about
62,125/. increase of expenditure during the year 1845.

row ; the body was in a state of putrefaction. She was, no
doubt, assassinated at the last festival of the Carnival, since

the victim has not transpired."
