The anniversary dejeuner in aid of the funds of this
institution took place at the Crystal Palace on Tuesday
afternoon. In the absence of Lord John Russell, who
had promised to preside, the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird,
M.P., took the chair. The chairman remarked that the
noble lord, whose absence he regretted, had always
taken an active part in the affairs of the institution, and
proceeded to point out some. of its principal merits.
From his statement, the following facts appeared :
The hospital, with its suite of baths was established
in 1841, after the model of the Hospital St. Louis in
Paris, for the free admission and medical treatment of
the plor of both sexes, for the purpese not only of
affording relief to them, but of forming a school for
the study of these complaints, and arriving at a more
successful mode of treatment than had previously been
adopted for their cure. Nearly 72,000 persons have been
relieved since the foundation. To extend still farther its
benefits, wards are opened for the reception of inpatients,
and the premises have been enlarged, the ratio of in-
crease in the number of patients being upwards of 2,000
annually. Of 10,654 cases treated during the past year
6,329 were cured, 4,313 relieved and still under treat-
ment, and 12 deaths ; the total number treated during
the past year being 10,654. The health of the medical
officers (Dr. Southwood Smith and Mr. James Startin)
was then proposed, the Chairman remarking that their
names were "household wards," more especially amongst
the poor. In consideration of the great services and the
large contributions made by the Gurney family, and out
of respect to the late Samuel Gurney, who was mainly
instrumental in founding the institution, it was agreed
that it should in future bear the name of "The Gurney
Hospital for Diseases of the Skin."

QUEitIES BY THB AUTHOR OF"IMAGI-

NARY CONVERSATIONS."

The following letter has been addressed to a con-
temporary.
Sir,- —I was about to propose a question to the editor
of that useful publication, Notes and Queries. But per-
haps there may be found among your readers some one
who can answer these inquiries.
First,--Whether the Romans, in their most degene-
rate and degraded condition, would have laid down their
fortunes and lives for,Messalina ?

Secondly,—Whether such a mother and daughter ever
sat successively on any throne as the Spaniards have
tolerated ,upon theirs?

Thirdly,---Whether the Gauls, on their invasion of
Rome, acted with such perfidy as the Ruler of France
against that city ?

Fourthly,—Whether the two women, when justice
was more popular, would not have been drawn at the
cart's tail, and the man have been accommodated with
an inside place ?
Fifthly,—Whether it is improbable that the English
Government, having countenanced the violation of our
late treaty by Russia in regard to Ismail and Kars, will
perinit and sanction the partition, or isolation, of Pied-
mont ?

Sixthly,—Whether, if Tacitu3 were living, he could
write so favourably De Moribus Germanorunt ?

SUSPECTED MURDER AT WOOLWICH.—An adjourned
inquest was held yesterday before Mr. Carter, coroner
for West Kent, on the body of a man found on the banks
of the river at North Woolwich, under circumstances
which lead to the suspicion that a foul deed has been
committed. The jury returned a verdict of " Found
dead, with marks of violence ; but by whom such
violence was committed the evidence does not show."
NETHERLANDS LAND ENCLOSURE COMPANY—A meet-
ing of this company took place yesterday, Mr. Morrison
presiding, when the report detailing the progress of ope-
rations, an abstract of which was given on Saturday,
was adopted. The directors are still engaged in the re-
claiming of land, which is saleable at a considerable
profit, and the crop of colza seed wi il, if well secured,
afford a favourable return. In order to keep faith with
the Dutch Government it will now be necessary to push
forward the works of the company, and the property is
likely to be further improved by the introduction of rail-
way communication between Flushing and the Rhine.
The heavy liabilities occasioned by the excessive expen-
diture when the company was first organised are being
gradually reduced.
ALLIANCE (FRANCE Ant ENGLAND) BANS.—At a
meeting of holders of share-certificates in this company
held yesterday at tbe London Tavern, in consequence of
the forfeiture threatened in the event of the nonepay-
ment of the call of Si. by that day, the following reso-
lution was agreed to :—" That the names of several in-
fluential gentlemen having been advertised as directors
of the company, upon the faith of whom the subscribers
applied for shares, and such gentlemen having disclaimed
all connection with the same, we are of opinion that
those shareholders who have not paid the call of Si. per
share should refuse to do so till the legal proceedings now
pending against the promoters of the company for reco-
vering back the deposits have been decided."
INTOLERANCE IN TURKEY.—An affair, which proves
that in Turkey the Turks are about the most intolerant,
has just occurred at Harpout, in Asia Minor. The child
of an Armenian family, some time since converted to
Protestantism, lately died, and its parents had it buried
in the Armenian cemetery, the only one for Christians at
Harpout. As soon as the Armenian bishop was informed
of the fact, he proceeded to the cemetery at the head of
the inhabitants belonging to his communion, had the
body dug up and thrown into a neighbouring field,
there to be devoured by dogs. The governor, being ap-
prised of what was done, sent guards to protect the
body while he made the most energetic remonstrances
to the bishop. As the prelate venuld not yield, the body
was reinterred by the authorities. The Porte has ad-
dressed a note to the Armenian Patriarch on the sub-
ject, demanding the dismissal of the bishop, and has
sent orders to the governor of Harpout to give the Pro-
testants a piece of ground for a cemetery for themselves.

ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—On Saturday night, a girl
about 12 years old, named Bridget Hopkins, was taken
to the caunty lock up, Huddersfield, charged with having
stolen two shawls. On Sunday of ernoon Mrs. Heaton
(the superintendent's wife) went te, the cell in which the
girl was confined, to obtain a book (preciously lent to
another prisoner, and left in the cell), for the purpose of
lending it to a boy in. another cell to read. Having
opened the door of the passage into which the cell door
opens, Mrs. Heaton called to the+ girl to give her the
book through the aperture in the door. No answer
being returned, she requested the servant, then in the
kitchen, to bring her the key of the cell ; but as the ser-
vant was washing herself at the time' Mrs. Heaton went
for it herself. Scarcely bad she left the passage to go
to the ki, Chen, which is not morn than half-a-dozen
yards distant, when the girl came from behind the pas-
sage-door, and ran through the lobby and out of the
front door. The shadow her figure cast in leaving the
place was observed, but she succeeded in effecting her
escape. The hole in the iron door of the cell through
which sbe had squeezed herself to get behind the passage-
door is about four feet from the ground, and 104 inches
long and 6i wide. She bad placed the bed clothes on a
,stool to raise herself nearer the height of the aperture.—
Leas Mercury.
