111,0YAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road.
Patron—The QUEEN.—Fousided 1828.
The sick poor are admitted on their own application alone; no re-
commendation is required.

of this Charity, either as out or in-door patients, on their personal
pplication :
Week ending 7th November ....•• 2,154
Ditto 14th November.. •• • • 2,043

of which 2,775 were new cases, the remainder (still under treat.
ment) having been admitted previously.
The clergy of all denominations have unlimited access to the
patients. . .

Heavy expenses are inevitably incurred in affording such eaten-
-ive relief. The Committee, therefore, earnestly entreat the aid of
the public.
The management of the Hospital is in the hands of 30 Governors,
early elected from the general list of subscribers, at the Annual
General Meeting in January. A Board is held every Thursday, at
o'clock (Rev. J. B. Owen, Chairman), to conduct the business,
when any subscriber may attend, if so disposed, the Board being' at
all times desirous of receiving suggestions or giving explanation.
The Hospital is not endowed, but is wholly dependent on volun-
tary contributions and legacies, which are received by the Treasurer,
John Masterman, Eeq., 31. P., Nicholas-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts
and Co. ; Drummond and Co.; 'Berries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ;

NEW SOUTH WALES.

We have Sydney papers to the 24th of Sept.
In the Legislative Assembly, on the day previous,
Mr. Cowper laid on the table the despatch an-
nouncing the establishment of a line of steam com
munication with Great Britain.

The adjourned debate on the motion of Mr. Hay,
for want of confidence in the present Ministry, was
resumed by Mr. Wm. Macleay, who spoke in favour
of the motion. Mr. Dacvall, in a lengthy and
eloquent speech, also supported the motion, which
was opposed by Mr. Robertson, Mr. Arnold, Mr.
Jones, and Mr. F. W. Rusden.

The Sydney Morning Herald observes :

"The Governor-General will soon have to determine
whether, acting on the advice of the present Ministry,
he will consent to dissolve the present assembly. This is
one of the questions in which he must take counsel with
himself. If the Ministry assure him that they have no
alternative, he must determine whether he can find any
other or not. The rejection of their advice would, of
course, be tantamount to their dismissal. They may
take office without a Parliamentary majority, hut keep
it they cannot under a constitutional Government.
Were Sir William Denison to permit them to govern in
defiance of the house, he would become a party to a
despotism without "
parallel save in the South American
States.

THAMES.

ROBBING A POLICE-CONSTAILB'S LODGINGB.—EIIen
Mahony, an Irish woman, aged 21, and at the time
of her apprehension, dwelling at 8, New-square,
Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charger)
with stealing four shirts, two chemises, two pillow.
cases, a pinafore, and other articles, the property of
Redshaw Spring, a police-constable of the K division,
residing in Batson-street, Limehouse.
It appeared from the evidence, that in the absence
of the policeman and his wife, on Saturday last, their
apartment was entered, and the property, above
named, stolen. A. woman named Maria Blake heard
a great noise in the policeman's dwelling, and the
breaking open of a door. She also saw the prisoner
emerge from the house with a bundle in her possession.
The door of the policeman's room bad not only been
forced open, but the lock was torn off and could not be
found. Considerable damage was also done to •arione
articles in the room. The police traced the prisoner to
her dwelling in New•street, and took her into custody.
A portion of the property was found in her possession.
On being taken into custody, the prisoner said she wished
to follow her husband, who was transported for a
robbery.

The prisoner—That's a lie.
Policeman —You did say so.
Prisoner—You are a liar.

Mr. Selfe told the prisoner to behave herself, and not
call people liars.

Mrs. Baylis, the wife of a police constable, stated that
she searched the prisoner at the station•honse, and found
the lock of a door tied up in the corner of her apron.
Mrs. Spring identified the lock, which had been torn
from the door of her room. She heard the prisoner say
she should like to go along with her husband, who was
transported.

Mr. Selfe—Sho will not be indulged in that wish ?
The prisoner—lt's a lie altogether.
Mr. Selfe—Do you wish the case to be sent to the
sessions or settled here ?
The prisoner—l am not guilty.

Mr. Selfe sentenced the prisoner to two months' im-
prisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possessio❑
of the property found upon her, and warned her that it
she was brought before him a second time for felony she
would most probably be sent for trial, and sentenced to
a long period of penal servitude.

TIN CROP T MINLA G VoMPAN Y.

Yesterday a general meeting was held at the offices of
the company, Moorgate.street—Mr. John Field in the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been convened
for the purpose of giving the proprietors information as
to the progress of the undertaking ; and as under the
constitution it was only necessary to call them together
once in 12 months, he should suowit a resolution to au-
thorise the directors to take legal advice whether the
company should not he re-constituted, either under the
Joint-stock Companies A ct, 1856, or upon the cost-book
system ; such matter to be taken into consideration at
the annual meeting in April next.
The SECRETARY read a statement of accounts from
Jan. to Aug., by which it appeared that the ore sold
amounted to about 17,0001., and the balance of assets
over liabilities, after payment of a dividend of 1,5001.,
amounted to 6,3301. Mr. Pryor's report stated that the
tribute department throughout the mines continued to
yield fine quantities of tin and copper. He expected to
sample at the next ticketing about 400 tons of copper ores,
and should the present price of tin and copper keep up,
hoped to make 8001. to 1,0001. profit two-monthly.
After a lengthened discussion on several items in the
accounts they were adopted.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing a resolution that the di-
rectors be authorised to take steps for altering the consti-
tution of the company, observed that they should be glad
to receive any suggestions from the shareholders upon
the subject.
Mr. BERRY seconded the resolution, and was much
Pleased with the prospect of coming under the cost-book
system.
Mr. HODGSON contended that the constitution could
not be altered without the assent of every individual
scrip, which they could never obtain, as even the divi-
dends were not applied for.
The meeting then terminated in the usual way.

THACKERAY'S LECTURES ON THE FOUR GEORGEE,—

the first in the metropolis to engage Mr. Thackeray to

exhausted.

appears that during the last week 40 ships, of an aggre•
gate tonnage of 24,502 tons entered inwards, against
160 ships, 77,828 tons, in 1855, being a decrease of
112 in the number of ships, and a decrease of 53,326

IN RE FAIREURN.

This bankrupt was described as of King's-cross, coffee-
house keeper, and to-day came up to pass his last exa•
mination. The bankrupt had sold off all his property
just before his bankruptcy, and went to Liverpool, but
surrendered under the bankruptcy.

Mr. Beard (trout the office of Mr. Buchanan) appeared

afford an opportunity for inquiry, which was granted
accordingly.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mary Norman, a respectably-dressed female, about 18
years of age, in the service of Mr. Hinckley, corn-dealer,
of Seething-lane, was placed on remand at the bar,
before the Lord Mayor, charged with stealing a sovereign
and other articles, his property. It appeared from the
evidence of the prosecutor that he was induced to take
her into his service in consequence of the strong recom•
ntendation of his daughter, who had been deceived by
the statements or the prisoner. A previous master of
the prisoner came forward and said that he discharged
her from his employ, believing she wilfully set fire to
some articles of his in his house, and also with having
stolen money from him.

In this case the evidence of stealing was not clear
against the prisoner, and his lordship sent her to
prison for 21 days for illegal possession of a pair of
gloves and some handkerchiefs.

Thomas Cross, a rather " horsey looking youth," vra-
charged on remand with attempting to pick pockets at
the Blackwell Railway station. The prisoner is a noto
rious character, and has been several times before sum.
madly convicted. His lordship sentenced the prisoner
to three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and to
his astonishment directed that his gold watch and chain
and ring should be sold to defray the expenses of his
maintenance. The prisoner was well got up with gloves,
eye-glass, "all sound" collar, &c., but there was an
unmistakeable characteristic of the vocation about him.
In June last he was summarily convicted at Reading
for attempting to pick a lady's pocket in a railway
carriage.
London, England, 1856-12-30

FURTHER GOLD DISCOVERIES.

The Melbourne Argus of Sept. 27th, says
"A gentleman just arrived in town from Braidwood,
on whose information implicit reliance may be placed,
informs us that gold has been discovered, and that in
paying quantities, at Dwyer's Creek, near Mornya.
This place is forty miles from Braid wood, twenty-five
from the present diggings et Araluon, about one hundred
from Goulburn, and within a few miles from the sea
coast. Some three or four parties are at work, with
varying success. The most successful party is a Mr.
Hawdon's, and they appeared to be getting upwards of
an ounce per day. The gold is of a coarse character,
although it cannot be said that. any nuggets have yet
been obtained. The sinking at present has reached no
deeper than eleven feet, but the further the diggers go,
the greater appears to be the yield."
London, England, 1856-12-30

GEELONG GOLD CIRCULAR.

SATURDAY, Sept. 27.—The price of gold remains at
764 6d to 76s 9d per ounce for Ballarat samples. Nothing
particularly interesting from any of the gold fields this
week. The reports from Ballarat are good. The dig-
gers on the Ovens seem to be doing well. Some heavy
finds are mentioned at Duo°lly. The news from Stei-
glitz is favourable.
Exchange on London—The banks at present issue
their drafts on London at par, and buy at 1 per cent. dis-
count.

Freight on gold delivered in London, 41d. per ounce.

MELBOURNE GOLD CIRCULAR.
SATURDAY, Sept. 27.
The supply of gold this week has been fully equal to
the demand, which was brisk for the Red Jacket. This
vessel takes a fair shipment, over 5i tons. The price of
gold remains at 755. 6d. The reports from the various
gold-fields are favourable, and the mining of both alluvial
and quartz gold progressing.

THE ROCKY RIVER GOLD FIELDS.

The Maitland Mercury, of the 22d September,
contains the following
" The first northern escort arrived in Maitland on
Sunday, bringing down 3,500 ounces of gold from the
Rocky River, and leaving, as we are informed by one
of its members, a large quantity behind. A few
diggers left within the last fortnight; but these
have been far more than replaced by new arrivals,
which continue to increase with the amended
weather. Let them come. The present population
is fully 4,500 to 5,500, and were it 20,000 there is
more than sufficient room for them. The parties now
exploring and prospecting in different directions will
prove to some extent the very great area to which these
diggings will ultimately attain. Gold is to be found in
the very township of Armidale. Thence to the Rocky
River, fifteen miles, gold is also to be found. From
Armidale to Mihi Creek, a different direction, also
fifteen miles, there are more and stronger indications
of gold than at Rocky River. l'here is now no
room to doubt but that the entire extent of coun-
try by which Armidale is surrounded constitutes one
vast continuous gold field, requiring but population and
capital to reveal its hidden treasures,"
The Goulburn Herald of the 20th, says :
" We have within the last few days received informa-
tion, from a most reliable sourw, that there exists to all
appearance an extensive and rich gold field within 35
miles of this town. The new gold field is situate at
Callan, the rented land of Mr. John Croker, and two
miles from that person's resider:cc ; its distance is five
miles from Mr. Huggins, at Nadg)gomar."

COMMERCIAL INrELLinENcE.
The money-market continued without variation,
money being plentiful at 8 per cent., but approved secu-
rities are still unobtainable for that rate.,
The Melbourne Journal of Commerce, reviewing the
state of the markets, says—
"In but very few articles do we look for any inn;rove-
raent on to-day's value, and those articles are most): of
Eastern, not British produce. We think it indeed wo.l
detail that 1,60,4 are maintained at the present point,
and it must chiefly be actributed to the Arinness and
spirit of our large import houses, who, by withdrawing
and storing a very large quantity of goods, have encou,

has been handed to us by Mr. ainburghy, who has also
a fine specimen of galena. Mr. Wesley Anderson, of

good quality in tbat district. Silver is alleged to have

NEW SOUTH WALES.

We have Sydney papers to the 24th of Sept.
In the Legislative Assembly, on the day previous,
Mr. Cowper laid on the table the despatch an-
nouncing the establishment of a line of steam com-
munication with Great Britain.

The adjourned debate on the motion of Mr. Hay,
for want of confidence in the present Ministry, was
restitned by Mr. Wm. Mackay, who spoke in favour
of the motion. Mr. Dacvall, in a lengthy and
eloquent speech, also supported the motion, which
was opposed by Mr. Robertson, Mr. Arnold, Mr.
Jones, and Mr. F. W. Rusden.

The Sydney Morning Herald observes :

"The Governor-General will soon have to determine
whether, acting on the advice of the present Ministry,
he will consent to dissolve the present assembly. This is
one of the questions in which he must take counsel with
himself. It the Ministry assure him that they have no
alternative, he must determine whether he can find any
other or nos. The rejection of their advice would, of
course, be tantamount to their dismissal. They may
take office without a Parliamentary majority, but keep
it they cannot under a constitutional Government.
Were Sir William Denison to permit them to govern in
defiance of the house, he would become a party to a
despotism without parallel save in the SJuth American
States."
