THE PROPOSED REMOVAL OF CHRLST'S

HOSPITAL.

Yesterday a special Court of the Governors 01
Christ's Hospital, with his Royal Highness the Dake
of Cambridge, a 3 president of the institution, cow
pying the chair, was convened at the establishment
in Newgate-street for resuming the consideration:
begun at a similar Court held on the sth of April, °I
a scheme for the removal of the hospital into the
country, and proposing other changes in the consti-
tution of this famous and time-honoured seminal'
founded by King Edward VI.
The Treasurer argued that the proposed removal
would result in a loss of income amounting to £77s°°
a year upon £250,000 in Consols which they would
have to sell out to provide for the requisite building
fund. If, on the other hand, the institution was
retained on its present site, he saw his way clearly
to educating 2,500 additional children in different
districts of the metropolis, without disturbing the
Hospital, or taking away from it a single pennY °f
its revenues. He moved a resolution to retain the
hospital where it stood.
On a division the " Ayes" were 71 and the " Noee
57, being a majority of 14 in favour of the motion
of the treasurer, which the president thereupon de-
clared to have been carried. In other words, the
proposal for the removal of the Hospital was lost.

TREASURE TROVE.
On Monday, at Park Farm, Folkestone, the residence °f
the Deputy-mayor, John tambrill, Esq., there was dig.
covered a quantity of treasure trove, censisting of fourteen
gold coins, guineas, and half-guineas, with dates ranging
between 1776 and 1779, seven half-crowns, and a shilling
of the same date, some copper coins—date illegible, but
apparently the same reign,—and two gold mourning ring;
beautifully chased—one almost plain with white ground au°
gold letters on it—" Eliz. Roll, died Oct. 1779, aged sixtr
seven ;" the other set with a crystal stone resembling
diamond, bearing the following inscription in gold letters
'on black ground :—" Sarah Bush, Ob. Nov. 29, 1738,
forty-two." Mr. Gambrill had given permission to some
cottagers to break up a bank for gardens, and while doing
so they came upon two spade guineas. Making tore
careful search, they found the articles mentioned above,
besides others which were not given up. The place W 5
formerly a lane, with a high hedge and a bank. The most
probable theory is that the articles are the proceeds of
robbery, and that the thief, being hard pressed,
" planted" it where either Le cools not find it again or
had not the opportunity.

GIBRALTAR TO SPAIN."
A letter appears in the Igualdad, of Madrid, from Sir
Henry Bulwer, the member for Tamworth, expressing 33
opinion favourable to the cesssion of Gibraltar to the
Spaniards. Sir Henry says :—" I have read with
pleasure the friendly address which Mr. ,Antool°
Fernandez y Garcia has addressed to my c'3l..
leagues, the members of the House of Commo.n%
I can affirm, without danger of error, that the sPlrl,
of the House is favourable to the cession of bibA
raltar, and this the more because the enlightened
press, which here interprets public opinion, declare?
the cession to be just and advantageous! for b°t.l
the Powers. In my opinion Mr. Fernandez y Garcia
would do well to treat the question in the only
in which it can be successfully dealt with
England cannot restore unconditionally —as gr.
Fernandez y Garcia desires—the stronghold which 511
possesses at the entrance of the Mediterranean. I reFu"
to mind that Philip the Fifth repeatedly offered to rye'
in exchange for Gibraltar, one of the richest eolonl
of which Spain was possessed in America. It wIL.
be well if modern Spain imitates the example of her fir?
Bourbon ruler, and is ready to make some sacrifice IP,
order to obtain the cession of Gibraltar. This at least is
wy opinion." The only question is, can this epistle IS
genuine
