GENERAL LYING-IN HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a
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. 10s 2d. The committee having
been constituted, and the usual routine business gone through,
the meeting dispersed.
THE TEA TRADE, APRIL 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.
_.—',lt is easier to pretend to be what you are not, than
to hide what you really are; but he that can accomplish
both has little to learn in hypocrisy.—Eliza Cooks Journal.
PRESERVED COCKSCOMD4.—A vessel which has
Wednesday 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 importationtfhrosmn
Fthreanyacemn.ounti
The mate of a -vessel named the Amity, of Southigh
Shields, was "tarred and feathered "
on W
for having signed articles for lower wages
fixed by the Seamens Association.
THE SCOTCH BENCH.—We have reason to believe
that, in the event of a vacancy taking place through the
resignation of Lord Mackenzie, Mr. Duncan
present Dean of Faculty, will be lll'Neil, the
Edinburgh News. elevated to the bench.—

THE YOUNG LADIES' SHORTER, CATEcmsm.—What
is the whole duty of women? To dress—to sing—to dance
—to play on the pianoforte—to gabble French or German,
and to preside gracefully at the tea-table! What is a man ?
A thing to waltz with—to flirt with—to take one to the
theatre—to laugh at—to be married to—to
and to keep one comfortably! What is lite? A polka— a
shottische—a dance that one must whirl through as fast as
possible What is death? Inn—something that it 's un-
fashionable to talk of whisper of—to think ot, so the less
that's said about it the better.

IRON SIIIP-BUILDING.—The iron ship-building
trade continues to flourish 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, Esq., was present, with a large party, besides
many hundreJs collected to witness the scene. The day
being fine, and many gay flags flying, guns firing, and the
presence of a great number of ladies, rendered the launch
one of the most gay and animated scenes imaginable. The
vessel, which was named the Keera, 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
that this vessel will prove that nowhere can better or cheaper
iron yeenbi be built than on the Tyne.—Newcastle Journal.

TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Yesterday's races came off exactly
as I expected
they would. The opponents of Bordeaux and Uriel in
their matches were glad to get off their bargains by Pr
ing half forfeit, without venturing the loss of the whwe
stake. Balsamo just contrived to heat the Squaw hY;
head for the 50 Sovs. Stakes; the latter having only be
a length the advantage of Christina. Phlegethon, the
Trapper, and Juggernaut were beaten into hysterteo•
This, of course, settles what chance Balsam() had in the
Derby spin, and, at the same time, don't proclaim all;
thing very favourable of the Squaw's form ou
capabilities. The roaring Coticula never had
chance with Barcelona for the 200 Sovs. Stakes,_ hei°6
beaten from the start. Cariboo won a 501. plate cleverly
from Nutcracker, Fire Eater, and Fernhill, at Weigh/
for age, over the last three miles of the Beacon Course:,
The betting on the Heath was important in one or tvvr
respects; Balsamo's victory gave Teddington a lift,t
the Derby, and made him as good a favourite as
Prime Minister, both quoted at 13 to 2. The Co
the
too, was put in front for the Guineas, at 5 to 2, and
Squire's colt sent to 7 to 2 (very curious this).
