TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES
FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR.
All who are professionally conversant with the condition of oar
Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as
an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du-
ties. They cannot Vast to their orders being executed by the
nurses, and they find that the patients suffer from faults of those on
whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen-
dent ; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac-
ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt-
ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral •
ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they
receive while in the hospital.
It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found
in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private
families, especially in those of the middle and lower classes; and
parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom
they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and
administering to their bodily wants.
The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these
evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look
upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of
self-control, and with a mind understanding it Hilly, and prepared for
its trying and painful duties.
The want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as
in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of
persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman
Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found
useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of
professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti-
tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training
Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline
of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object,
not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom
from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea-
vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of
persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To
raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training
which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the
same time essentially a religious training; to hold odt, to those who
are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional
position than they could otherwise obtain; and to afford also to
those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give
themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of
labour: these are the means which, as they have been successful
in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng-
land; may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing,
in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of
Improvement.
It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the
immediate superintendence of clergyman of the United Church of
England and Ireland, as Master.
That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three
classes :

1. Those under training as probationers.
2. Those who, after pas3ing through the period of probation sa-
tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging
to continue in connexion with the Institution for a period of five
years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed
and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return
will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In-
sti

At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from
the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and
thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the
Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be-
lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually
raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi-
cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be
likely to set an example whieh can scarcely fail to have a good effect
upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this
as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them-
selves to the training of this Institution.

COURT OF COMMON SENSE
MOSES VERSUS COMPETITION.
A public trial t'oher day took place,
Which proved to be a most important cue.
MOSES and SON (the plaintiffs in the matter),
Set up their claim superior to the latter;
And furthermore they claim'd the greatest share,
Of public approbation ev'ry where.
While Competition, on the other side,
This claim of MOSES utterly denied.
Well—crowds were there, who scarce had room to budge,
To hear the case decided by the judge.
I shan't detain you with harangues of counsel—
From " Sergeant Right, Q.C," or " Mr. Bounce-all."
The one spoke truth, the other dealt in fudge,
'Till thus the cue was settled by
THE JUDGE.
• "'Tie my belief," said Mr. Baron Reason,
" This question is decided ev'ry season.
MOSES and SON, as tailors, prove their claim
To greater patronage, and greater fame.
And from the evidence which you have heard,
The greatest favours are on them conferr'd.
The specimens of dress produced in court,
Are proofs what first-rate articles are bought.
MOSES and SONS' attire is most resplendant,
And better far than that of the defendant.
Such is the judgment, then, which I dispense,
Quite in accordance, too, with' Common Sense.'
And thus," continued he, " the question closes,
In favour of the claim of Messrs. MOSES."
This judgment was received with loud applause,
Which proved that MOSES' was the public's cause.

advices from Hamburgh
the price of gold is 439 f per mark, which, at the English
Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13.121; and the exchange at Ham-
burgh on London at short being 13.121, it follows that
the price of gold is the same at Hamburgh and in London.
According to the usual calculation that 60 59.100 gold
imperials are equivalent to 100 sovereigns in London,
the transmission of gold from St. Petersburgh would
give an exchange on London of 38 45-100 d. per silver
rouble ; and the last quotation of the exchange being
36,id. per rouble, gold would yield a gross profit of
about -q per cont. The cliarg,-.o of transport would have
to be deducted from this, and the interest gained added,
the above quotation being for bills on London at three
months' date.
