GENERAL LYING•IN HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday
quarterly court of the governors of this institution was held
at the Hospital, York-road ; Mr. Cox in the chair. It ap-
peared that during 1850 there had been admitted 48 single
and 201 married patients—besides whom, 455 had been at-
tended ; that during the last five years 3,653 had been re-
lieved; that there were at present one single and nine mar-
ried women in the hospital; and that the house expenses for
the year 1850 were 7661. lOs 2d. The committee having
been constituted, and the usual routine business gone through,
the meeting dispersed.
THE TEA TRADE, Anat. 21.—The deliveries of
tea in London last week were 546,8441 b., being about
68,0001 b. less than in the preceding week. The occurrence
of Good Friday will partly account for the falling off.
PRESERVED COCIC.SCOMBS.—A vessel which has
arrived from Dunkirk has brought some packages of preserved
cockscombs as a portion of her cargo. This appears to be
a somewhat singular article of importation from France.
THE SCOTCH BENCU.—We have reason to believe
that, in the event of a vacancy taking place through the
resignation of Lord Mackenzie, Mr. Duncan PVl'Neil the
present Dean of Faculty, will be elevated to the bench.—

tradet_ continues to lourish here. Mr. Thomas Toward, of
St. Peter's, launched a most beautiful iron screw-vessel for
the Sidney trade on Wednesday afternoon. The owner, H.
G. Smith,FA
was present, with a large party, besides
many hundreds collected to witness the scene. The day
being fine, and many gay dags flying, guns firing, and the
prisence of a great number of ladies, rendered the launch
one of the most gay and animated scenes imaginable. The
vessel, which was named the Yeera, glided beautifully into
the water amidst the deafening cheers of the assembled
crowd. Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Co., of this town,
supply the engines to her, and altogether there is no doubt
thet this vessel will prove that nowhere can better or cheaper
iron 'Mole be built than On the Tyne.—Xeutcastle Journal.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Yesterday's races came off exactly as I (apse-
tea
they would. The opponents of Bordeaux and IJriel
tD
their matches were glad to get off their bargains by Psi'
ing half forfeit, without venturing the loss of the wh° e
stake. Bahamo just contrived to beat the Squaw by ef
head for the 50 Sovs. Stakes; the latter having only had
a length th advantage of Christina. Phlegethov, the
Trapper, and Juggernaut were beaten into hysteric&
This, of course, settles what chance Balsamo had in the
Derby spin, and, at the same time, don't proclaim Bpi;
thing very favourable of the Squaw's form an
capabilities. The roaring Coticula never had, n.ll
chance with Barcelona for the 200 Sovs. Stakes, be°36
beaten from the start. Cariboo won a 50/. plate cleverlf,
from Nutcracker, Fire Eater, and Fernhill, at weight
for age, over the last three miles of the Beacon Course.
The betting on the Heath was important in one or terr
respects; Bahamo's victory gave Teddington a liftriff.
the Derby, and made him as good a favourite as l'"„"
Prime Minister, both quoted at 13 to 2. The Confessor'
too, was put in front for the Guineas, at 5 to 2, and the
Squire's colt sent to 7 to 2 (very curious this).
For tho 50 Sovs. Stakes, 7 Subs., D. M., to-morrowo
Naphtha, Firebolt, and Hatherton run, and will pifro•
bably pass the post as I have placed them. 'Yet

for the 1,000 Guineas will probably be composed of the
