ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL,
Gray's-inn-road.
This Hospital is entirely devoted to destitution in its most
pitiable fbrm, viz., that which is accompanied by sickness and
disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with ade-
quate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into
its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this
great metropolis ; moreover, it gratuitously affords medical
advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 2,000-out-
patients a week.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.--TUESDAY.
The Newmarket and Carlisle meetings have been suffi-
ciently attractive to have a very shining effect upon the
attendance of subscribers here, but the business that was
done upon future events we do not consider was of such a
nature as to be taken as a guide to the true state of the
market. For the Liverpool Cup Viatka would have been
backed against Aston, and less than 7 to 1 was refused
about either of them ; and Gridiron, for the Goodwood
Stakes, with very little outlay of money, rose to 9to 2
taken. Queen of the Vale was the only horse inquired after
for the Stamford Plate, and Crater for the Worcestershire
Stakes.

catcher took a clear lead, but in a few strides Tattoo ran
up to his side, Caller Oui third, and Doefoot, with Ricochet,
lay a few lengths in the rear. At the bottom turn the lot
closed, and at the distance Caller Oui and Tattoo were the
leading pair. Within the half distance Doefoot and Caller
Oui singled themselves out, and ran a fine race home, Doe-
foot winning by a short head only. There was a length
between the second and third horses. Lopcatcher was a
bad fourth.

Betting—The betting opened at 5 to 4 agst Greta, but
closed at 0 to 4 agst Montrose, 5 to 2 agst Maggie, and 3
to 1 agt Greta. The flag fell when Montrose was in the
act of wheeling round, and he ran " broadside" against
Layton, and with Maddon and Montrose came to the'ground
By this accident Maggie obtained a lead of several lengths,
and Layton bolting at the top turn, only Greta and Crosby
were left to go in pursuit of Maggio, who, however, made
all the running, and won, pulling up, in a canter by a neck.
Crosby was a bad third. Madden, the rider of Montrose,
was only shaken; and the horse, after galloping some dis-
tance, was secured without injury.

JUNE 24.
The Meander,a British commereial steamer, has
come in from Messina, with a number of passengers.
According to their account, the town was a desert,
peopled only by soldiers and mob; all the rest of
the population had left, takingwithwhatever
them
they could carry away. The garrison of the place
is very strong, all the troops from Catania and
Girgenti being still there, as Well as a part of those
who left Palermo. They occupy the town in force,
but their sway does not extend farther. At the
very gates of the town the insurrection is in full
vigour; the committee is constituted, holds its
meetings in one of the neighbouring villages, and
is organizing and raising troops, like the rest of the
country. It is in regular correspondence with the
Government both by land and sea.
In general the regular mail service has been
established all over the country. This was the
more wanted, as ever since the beginning of the
insurrection the communication was interrupted
with the interior. Of course, the mail service is
restricted to the chief places, which are connected
by something resembling roads. Nothing shows
more how incapable the Neapolitan authorities
were than the neglected state of the roads commu-
nicating with the interior.

The Cumberland Plate of 100 sous added to a handicap
sweepstakes of 10 sovs each. Twice round and a dis-
tance.

Sweetbriar made play, Master Bagot coming second, Wild-
man third, and Dilkoosh lying away. On passing the Shep
herd's House, Dilkoosh ran into the second place, Master
Bagot third, and Wildman last. Going into the dip Dil-
koosh and Sweetbriar lay side by side, and along the bank
Master Bagot and Wildman, also side by side, followed at
an interval of about a dozen lengths. On passing the Stand
the second time, Dilkoosh had obtained a lead of about six
lengths, Master Bagot pulling hard, being second, Wild-
man and Sweetbriar next. At the half-mile post, Master
Bagot began to draw forward, and Wildman also improved
his position. On entering the straight, Master Bagot ran
in close company with Dilkoosh to the distance, where the
latter was beaten. Below the half-distance, Wildman
made his effort, but failed to reach Master Bagot, who won
in a canter by three lengths. The same distance sepa-
rated the second and third horses. Sweetbriar was a bad
fourth.

A lussiari. steamer, belonging to the Russian
Steam-packet Company, has come in this morning
from Naples, on her way to Malta. It seems the
company is wide awake, and intends to take advan•
tage of the chance offered by the events in Sicily,
and the steamers will call regularly on their road
to and from Marseilles.

JUNE 25.
Yesterday evening the other brigade of the Ist
Sicilian Division—that is, the 15th Division of the
National Army—commanded by Colonel Bixio,
went to the interior, on the road to Parco and
Piana-dei-Greci. Its object is to go through the
interior by another road, and unite with the first
brigade, which has gone by the Catania road.
This latter column left Misilmeri the day before
yesterday, and went on to Villafrati, where it will
stop for a few days to organize and recruit, as well
as to arrange the differences which party spirit has
created in the interior. Of the Sicilians we can
say, as of the Poles, wherever there are two of them
together there are three parties. What license did
in one case oppression has produced in the other.
Afedici's column leaves to-day in the direction of
Messina. Thus we shall have two divisions on
march ; while these are organizing in the interior,
the reserve will be formed here under the eye of
the General himself.

The masons of Leeds are agitating for the reduc-
tion of an hour's labour on the Monday. At present they
are obliged to be at work at six o'clock in the morning, and
as many of them live at a distance from the scene of their
daily toil, they are obliged to leave their families on the
Sunday night, as no train arrives in Leeds on the Monday
morning early enough for the commencement of work.
They are now asking the masters to allow them to begin at
seven o'clock on the Monday morning, instead of six; and
with the object of promoting this alteration a large meeting
was held on Friday evening at the Angel Inn, Briggate.
Whether the toasters will make the concession remains to
be seen►

There was yesterday a report that the Neapoli-
tans intended to send over 25,000 men under the
orders of General Nunziata. So much the better ;
they will thus spare us the trouble of seeking them.
But I don't think it very probable.

THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)
( PALERMO, JUNE 23.
The morning after the final evacuation of Paler-
mo by the Neapolitans Garibaldi called on the
three Admirals, who have all since returned his
visit. The French Admiral called the day after,
and Admiral Mundy yesterday morning. As for
the Sardinian and American Admiral, they had
called once or twice before even the evacuation was
completed. Thus Garibaldi is in regular official
communication with the naval commanders of the
foreign navies. The AuStrian commodore lull the
day the Neapolitans departed, and with them went
likewise the Austrian Consul and his family.
As for the Consuls, they could not hitherto enter
into official communication, being accredited to the
Neapolitan Government, and dependent on their
Ministers, who reside at Naples. But the Provi-
sional Government has Ali eady taken steps to send
its representatives both to England and France.
The very day the Neapolitans left, the official
Gazette contained the nomination of the Principe di
San Giuseppe as the representative of Sicily in
England. The Prince has been a stanch Liberal
all through, and has lived Fin exile. The next day
the Principe San Sataldo was appointed in the
same -4apacity-in France, tgliis activity-in- the first
instance must be naturally very limited. Non-in-
tervention, the principle which all the Powers,
France at the head of them, have recognised as the
basis of the reorganisation of Italy, must be the
great object of their mission for the moment. In-
deed the more they confine their mission to this
cardinal point the better they will deserve their
country. Let the subjects of the King of Naples
settle their affairs with that Government, which all
Powers have repeatedly and in vain tried to change
for the better. Any arrangement beyond that is
premature. Not that there is the slightest diffe-
rence of opinion here about the solution which the
Sicilian question ought to take, almost every muni-
cipality having already sent in its adhesion to King
Victor Emmanuel; but wishes of this kind only
find a favourable ear when there is something be-
hind to back them up.
As everywhere else in Italy, there has been a
great change in Sicily with regard to political
ideas. In 1848 there were but few who could raise
themselves above local prejudices and narrow com-
binations. An independent Sicily, under the Prince
of Carignan, was the last expression of this short-
sighted policy; now the conviction has become al-
most universal among thinking men, that an inde-
pendent and isolated kingdom of Sicily is a political
impossibility, and would lead ultimately back to
Bourbon dominion, and that Sicily can only be free
as a part of Italy. Nay, the only difference of opi-
nion in this respect is the time, some thinking it
necessary to convoke the national representatives
immediately, and deelare the annexation; while the
majority are of opinion that we should first arm,
and then talk of annexation—decidedly the more
practical manner of looking at the thing. I need
not say that this is Garibaldi's opinion, and he ex-
pressed it the other day to a deputation to him
which came to present an address. In eonseqence
of this declaration on the part of Garibaldi some of
the men who had accepted office have resigned.
Among these is the Principe di Torrearsa, a Libe-
ral of 1848, and Baron Pisani, the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs.
Two days ago the Pretorio issued a proclama-
tion, in which it called upon the citizens to come
and help in demolishing the face of the Castello-a-
Mare looking towards the town. This Castello was,
from the most ancient times, the Bastile of Palermo.
It was rebuilt and strengthened by Charles V. to
curb the turbulent population, and has ever since
been used as a citadel and State prison. It occupies
the point of the peninsula which formerly guarded
the entrance to both ports of Palermo. One of the
ports having been altogether filled up, and the other
being considerably reduced, it has lost all its im-
portance as a work directed against ships. The face
towards the sea, although looking old and neglected,
has, however, the advantage of forming as it were
a continuance of the wall of the town. It will be,
therefore, preserved snd strengthened.
The proclamation to demolish this hated object
brought hundreds of volunteer workmen, who as-
sembled in the different quarters of the town, and,
provided with crowbars, axes, and spades, went in
companies of 50 and more to help in the demolition.
Every one of the troops had contrived to get a
band of music, and the work began by cheering
and singing. Never did men, women and children
work harder without being paid for it. Not the
last among the workmen were the monks of the
different religious communities, especially among
the mendicant friars, Capuchins, Franciscans, &c.
Whole monastries seemed to have turned out, and
went lustily to work. You could see it was a work
of love, or rather of hatred. The whole day the
place was crowded with spectators beside, who
encouraged by their applause every successful step
in the work of demolition. If this ardour lasts,
there will soon be little remaining.

(tion of the ordinary means to test the solidity of
the metal, the firing was continued, with the
charge as above stated, up to the 50th round, when
the firing was ordered to cease, and the gun, having
been again examined and subjected to ample scrutiny
was pronounced incapable of being burst or damaged
under ordinary usage. In addition to the stipulated
number of 12-pounder guns already completed in the
Woolwich factory, 112 of larger dimensions (25-
pounders) intended for service in the new class ot
gunboats, have also been completed. Three 12-
pounder guns, on Mr. IVhitworth's principle, are
also in a forward state of construetion, and arc in-
tended to be employed at the forthcoming competi-
tion at Shoeburyness.
Capt. H. Savage, RE., who was tried nearly
three weeks since by general court-martial at Chat-
ham, still remains under arrest, and although a
considerable time has elapsed since the termination
of the trial the finding of the Court has not yet been
received from the authorities. Captain Savage was
placed under arrest on the 22d of May, and was not
informed for nearly three weeks afterwards that he
was to be tried by court-martial. He has thus been
altogether six weeks ander arrest. No reason has
been assigned for this protracted delay on the part
of the,military authorities-Whead-quarters.

NATIONAL _RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

Swiss have done—their best at the shorter ranges ;
and that at the long distances ne superiority over
their English competitors will be displayed. The
contretseizureem O
p f their arms is, however, an embarrassing
s.
It was announced on the ground yesterday that
Mr. T. Fairbairn will give as a prize a Whitworth
rifle, to be shot for by the Swiss alone ; the contest
- will take place to-day, at the 500 yards range, five
shots to each person. In return the Swiss give a
Swiss rifle, to be contended for exclusively by vo-
lunteers, at the same range. The day of competi-
tion is not fixed.
The first pair of targets on the left have been set
apart for miscellaneous firing for " pool" prizes.
A shilling is paid for each shot by anyone so in-
clined, and the sum produced is divided in the
evening between those who have struck the bull's-
eye. The range is only 200 yards ; but the eye is
also reduced in size to four inches' diameter. These
targets were very attractive throughout the day.
Lord Vernon made five hits in this open competition.
Prince Albert was on the ground during the
afternoon. The number of spectators was of course
much less than on Monday, but the attendance was
quite equal to what the association expected.
