ANNUAL GRANTS TO DUBLTN HOSPITALS.
On the question for going into Committee of Supply,
on the Miscellaneous Ea imates,
Mr. REYNOLDS moved that, considering the public
importance of maintaining as national instiutions the
very valuable schools of medicine in Ireland, which bud
derived their chief efficiency from the instruction afforded
by the Dublin Hospitals, to the support of which for a
long series of years Parliament has contributed, it was
unjust and impolitic to teduce the amount of the annual
grant which was allowed in 1848 and the preceding years
to those hospitals. The Government had come to
the House year after year to move that
these grants should be diminished 10 per cent.
annually, and all they rested their justification upon in
adopting this course was the evidence of a Scotohman re-
joicing in the name of Drummond Chisholm. This person
was attached to the office of the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land, but had betrayed his trust, and robbed the charities
under his charge. He was now a fugitive in America,
his name having appeared in the flue and Cry of both
countries, and the Government having offered a reward
for his apprehension. Yet it was upon the unsupported
evidence of such a character that the charitable institu-
tions of Dublin were to be destroyed by the withdrawal
of these grants. Though be (Mr. Reynolds) wished to
cave Dublin from this infliction, he had no hope of suc-
cess, seeing the total disregard which was paid to Irish
Members in that House when they brought forward
subj,-ct relating to the welfare of Ireland.
What chance bad he under these circum-
stances of pleading tVe cause of the wretched and
unl ,teeted panes., 8R ho were sick within the walls of
na a
these hospital? If ever Irish Members were unanimous
ti.
Pqi7el:l?son tiff, snag Ireland they were unanimous
upon this. This very day he had had the ho-
1101.1r 0s forming a portion of a deputation
that it'd upon ibe Prime Minister against the with-
drewal or diminution of these grants. The addresa
whieh was present, d to his Lordship, wee signed by no
less titan ninety-four Irish Members of Parliament,
and twelve. Eeglish Members who were con-
nected by property with that country—in all 106
Meteb r-; and all the Prime Minister did was to
drily re'er them to the Chancellor of the Ezell, quer,
erl,o, he said, would state in the House what he intended
Its do. Even that promise was not kept. because the
Chsucellor of the Exchequer peremptorily refused to
steee what his real me u,iens were on the subject.
The R chmond and Hardwak Hospitals certainly had
been spied from the cooadertition that they were
schools et medicine, but in truth that was the case with
all the hospital, and tee same excuse might have been
urged for Om. This was one of the evils which hed
been produced by the unfortunate Act of union which
hed pt Mindy d swag, d she city of Dublin.
Sir L. O'BIIIEN secondtd the motion. He felt him-
self imp. rwtively called upon to speak in support of the
motioe, b, cau e he reeresented the feelings and the opi-
niona of the majority of the Irish represeutatives on this
subject. The ho: pilafs of Dublin were schools
of medicine, standing very high in the es-
timation of the profession; they were furnished
with L deters and museums necessary for complet-
ine the medical education o! a large number of
students, but if this grant were withdrawn the lectures
would have to be curtailed, and the museums alogetber
abolished. Toe advantages which these schools con-
ferred upon society were incalculable, and he did ear-
nestly appeal to both sides of the House nut to allow
their efficacy to be destroyed in the manner proposed
by the Gov, rnment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought
this discussion ought to have been brought on in Com-
mittee, but as those who proposed it had not pursued
that course, he had no alernativa but to state now why
he should object to she proposal. Only five of these in-
stitutions received aid from the Irish Parliament, while
at the present time no less than thirteen were
annually in the receipt of Parliamentary grants. He
was therefore at a Les to understand how it could be
contended that the Dublin hospitals were worse off now
then they were prior to the Union, unless it was that
they received lees support from the public of a voluntary
character.

Mr. E. B. ROCHE said the Right Hon. Gentleman
had urged a strange reason against this motion. He
would not allow the grant because it was no: originally
made by the Irish Parliament. He contended that this
of all others was not the time to withdraw
the grant. With Ireland almost in a state of ruin,
what power had her people to support hospitals
wish voluntary contributions? None whatever; and he
hoped the House would pause before it perpetrated the
injumtice of withdrawing this grant.
Mr. GROGAN admitted that ►imilar grants were
not msde to hospitals its this country, but they had
received t. undations upon highly favourable terms which
a as equivalent to a grant, and therefore, in order that tt!
iti .thut ions of the tw..) coontries should remain on the
same footing, this grant ought not to be withheld.

LONDON, MONDAY

EVENING, JULY l4, 1851.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT
(Bef,le the RECORDER.)
William Cauty and John Tyler, who had plea'led
guilty to a charge of stealing a cashbox from the London
and Westminster Bank, were brought up on Friday, be-
fore Mr. Justice Wightman, to receive sentence.
His LORDSHIP said it was perfectly clear, from the
manner in which this robbery was committed, that the
prisoners were most expert and daring thieves, and he
therefore felt it his duty to sentence them to transpor-
tation. Any sentence of that description to persons at
their time of life, over 60, must, of necessity be t inta-
mount to one of transportation for life; but the Court
had no alternative, having regard to its duty to the
public, but to pass such a sentence. He then ordered
the prisoners to be transported for ten years.
The prisoner Cauty, before he left the bar, begged to
be allowed to state, what be felt it right to say publicly,
that none of the young rsen belonging to the bank
were i❑ any way concerned in planning or executing the
robbery.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREE7'. _

Miles Moltieg was charged before Mr. liardwick with
having burglariously entered the premises of Mr. Robert
Attenborough, pawnbroker, No. 10 and 11, Greek-street,
Soho, with intent to steal the goods therein.
George Hawkins, shopman to Mr. Attenborough, said
his empl-yer did not sleep on the premises, but his ma-
naging; man and assistant did. There was an internal
communication b tween the two houa'a in which the
bu'iness was carried on. On Wednesday night. about
eleven o'clock, witness was in the parlour of No. 11,
when, hearing a noise in No. 10 twice, be seised the
tongs and went into the shop, and there found the pri-
soner sitting on the counter, in the act of getting into
one of the etwomers' boxes, and he told him if he moved
ho would dash his brains out. A constable was called,
and he was given into custody. On looking round the
shop he found the iron sestinar of the shop window on
the outside had been taken down and the padlock broken.
A great deal of property was in the window, which was
secured inside and outside every night. None of the
property had been disturbed. Ho went over the house
with other persons, and found that two iron bars in the
attic window of No. 10 had been removed, the padlock
which secured them broken, and the catch of the stair-
case door had also been forced.

Dodd, C 110, amid he found on the prisoner a dog•
muzzle, a pocket-knife, and a whistle; and near him, on
the counter, was a chisel.
The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for
trial.
