" I have the honour to be, &c.,
" M. DAVIES, Secretary.
" To the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Morpeth,
M.P., &c."
" Office of Woods, &c., Aug. 2, 1848.

MIDDLESEX lIOSPITAL.—A general Court of the
Governors of the Middlesex Hospital was held yesterday
morning, at the temporary board room, 27, Charles'
street, Homers-street; his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge was in the chair. Mr. Smith brought before
the Court the new code of laws that had been agreed
upon by the monthly board. The severul alteratioos
proposed to be made in the rules were put to the Court ;
the only one upon which much discussion ensued was the/
which altered the subscribers' right of voting to three
months after having paid his subscription, instead of ail;
months as at present. The Duke of Cambridge inquired
whether proper notice had been given of the proposed
alterations ? The Hon. Captain Maude said that notice
had been posted in the hospital beyond the usual time,
and full notice had been given by advertisement
daily newspapers. Mr. Probert said that might bt
the case, but the hospital was in such a state of
confusion, in consequence of the enlarging of the
institution, that when he went in he was glad to g 6
out again as quickly as possible, without stopping to
look at the notices on the board. He knew that the
committee had done what they considered the
best, but he thought it would be premature to
pass the laws now. The Duke of Cambridge said the,
the governors would now have the benefit of a code 01
laws which the committee had drawn up with great care,
if they were passed. lie thought it would be unwise to
defer them for three months longer; they could give the
committee power t• make them, and it there was ail'
thing wrong it could be altered. The resolution wee
then put to the vote, and was carried. The considers'
Loa of the question referred to the medical school WO
postponed until the next court. The Duko of COI'
bridge inquired what would be the expenses of the pro'
sent alterations making in the hospital, how many adds"
tional wards the institution would contain when finished,
and the number of patients it would hold? The H 00:
Captain Maude said there would be three additions'
wards, the expense would be about 15,0001., and accoor
modation would be made for 290 patients; the ventils'
tion would be improved, and the building would he
secured against the danger of fire. In fact, when cal;
pleted, it would be a model for all other hospitals. 01
Royal Highness said he was delighted to hear how prol;
perously the institution had gone on lately. A vote 0'
thanks to the Duke of Cambridge for his kindness
presiding closed the proceedings.
