VAST LONDON lIOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage. every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.
Contributions will be thankfully received by the Trea-

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent ier support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requizite funds to maintain them.

PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE.—Julge S. gave his
son a thousand dollars, telling him to go to college and
graduate. The son returned at the end of the Fresh-
men year without a dollar and with several ugly habits.
About the close of the vacation the Judge said to his
son, "Well, William, aro you going to college this year ?"
"Have no money, father." "Bnt I gave you a thou-
sand dollars to graduate on." "It's all gone, father."
"Very well, my son; it was all I could give you. You
can't stay here; you must now pay your own way in the
world." A new light broke in upon the vision of the
astonished young man. He accommodated himself to the
situation ; he left home, made his way to college, gradu-
ated at the head of his class, studied law, became Governor
of the State of New York, entered the Cabinet of the Pre-
sident of the United States, and has made a record for
himself that will not soon die, being none other than Wil-
liam 11. Seward.

Sir Robert Phillimore sat as Dean of Arches
to give judgment as to the admissibility of articles
in the case of "Shepherd v. Bennett." As is well
known, the defendant is charged with having propagated
heretical doctrines by means of certain works.—His
Lordship commenced by regretting that the defendant had
not seen fit to enter an appearance, as the question
was most important not only to himself, but to the Church:
to which he belonged, and the point on which he had to
give judgment was a most important one. At first the
bishop of the diocese had refused to grant a commission;
but this subsequently had been done,and that tribunal had
found that prima facie there were certain charges made out
and letters of request were sent to the Court of Arches, and it •
was decided that the Dean was obliged to :Omit thae
letters of request. Sir Robert Phillimore then read a long
and exhaustive judgment, stating that as the fifth article
—that relating to the reception of the Eucharist by the
wicked—was not brought forward at the original commis-
sion and was not named in the citation, it could not be urged
against the defendant when the main question came on to be
argued. Of course the other charges—teaching the doctrine of
the real Presence, the adoration of the elements, &c.—would
be brought against the defendant; but he must refuse to
allow the fifth article, which was neither named in the
commission or the citation to be included in the articles.--
Dr. Stephens said the judgment materially altered the posi
tion as to the charge of heresy, and he asked for leave to
appeal. Ultimately, after some discussion, the learned
dean consented to an appeal, but expressed a wish that it
might be brought forward as early as possible.

LAW AND POLICE.

A RAILWAY Ctn.—At the Surrey Sheriff's Court an
inquiry has been held to assess damages for injuries
received by a licensed victualler, named Crossley, while
returning from the June fete at the Crystal Palace. The
Brighton Railway Company, who were the defendants,
allowed judgment to go by default. £503 was the amount
claimed. It appeared, however, in cross-examination, that
the plaintiff went out every day after the accident, and the
jury awarded him a sum of £5O. His brother, who was
with him at the time, was awarded £4O. A barmaid at
another tavern, who was t eriously injured on the same
occasion, also sued the company, who consented to a verdict
for £225.

CAPTURE OF FOREIGN Bunor..Ans.—Five foreign burglars,
four men and a woman, were brought up at Marylebono
Police-court, charged with stealing jewellery of the value
of more than £5OO from the premises of a jeweller in
Baker-street, Portman-square. The charge against the
woman was withdrawn. In a bag found in the possession
of ono cf the prisoners were 24 brooches, 29 breast pins,
23 lockets, and many other articles of value, besides 23
skeleton keys, two centre-bits, and other housebreak-
ing implements. The holder of this multifarious
property made a statement confessing that he
had assisted in pledging some of the stolen goods,
but said he know nothing of the robbery, and had given all
the assistance he could in restoring the property. The

prisoners were remanded.
SCARLET FEVER,—The owner of a house in the neigh-
bourhood of Caledonian-road, Islington, was summoned at
Clerkenwell, for letting a room, which had been occupied
by a rorson, suffering from scarlet fever, without properly
disinfecting it. The medical officer of health, who proved
the charge, said that last week scarlet fever produced over
230 registered deaths in London. The defendant pleaded
that he did not know the ease was scarlet fever. The
investigation was adjourned.
&scrum. CIIARGE.—A very curious case has been
brought before the Wandsworth magistrate. A clerk,
named Strong, and a labourer, named Bostick, were
charged with attempting to suffocate the inmates of a
house at Battersea. It seemed there had been some litiga-
tion between the tenant of the house, a solicitor, named
Hamrott, and a Fulham building society, who were his
landlords, and for some days attempts had been made
to enter the house to make a distress. Smoke
was noticed in the house, and the smell of
sulphur nearly made the occupants insensible. It was
believed that the defendants had access to the chim-
neys through the next door house, which was
unoccupied. Strong had been heard to say he should
smoke or starve the people out if they did not let him in.
The prisoners were remanded.
_

A CONVICTION AFFIRMED.—The appeal against a deci-
sion given by Mr. Tyrwhitt, the Marlborough-street
magistrate, in fining Rose Burton, keeper of a refreshment-
house in Jermyn-street, for allowing improper persons to
assemble there, has been decided at the Middlesex Ses-
sions. The conviction was affirmed.
PENNY GAFFS.—Eleven persons charged with being the
managers and actors at a "penny gaff" carried on in one
of the railway arches near the Elephant and Castle, were
fined at the Lamb eth Police-court, as the place was un-
licensed. The manageress was fined £2, or twenty days,
the others 10s. or seven days. No money was forthcoming,
and they were accordingly locked up in default.

AUTOMATIC SPEECH WRITING.—The time may
come, though it miiseem premature to expect it; when
a man's words will be made to write themselves down
automatically as fast as they come from his lips--7when a
speech will yield a sound picture, or a' sonogram; that we
may gaze upon as we now do' upon a light-picture; and
translate as we do the notes of a piece of music. Non-
sense, you say? It is no nonsense, no dream. Go ask a
physicist if he can conceive its possibility, and unless he
be a very narrow-sighted member of his community, he
will reply that he' can. You who now say " nonsense "
would have said the same fifty years ago if any one had
told you that some clay the image of your countenance
would paint itself photographically. But before you
repeat your derision, think of this—Light is a wave
motion, and the chemist has. found a substance which the
waves, as they dash against it, can transform or trans-
mute ; and so we have got photography. Sound is a
wave-motion ; its waves are as breakers, lights aro as
ripples—the former large and slow, the latter small and
rapid. Now since we have got the substance that is im-
pressible by the little weak waves, why should we despair
of finding a substance that will alter under the influence
of the great strong ones ? We can make a lamp-glass ring
with the voice pitched to a certain note ; soon wo may
cause the same sound to vibrate a body that will make a
mark on paper as it swings, and then wo can make another
working body vibrate to another sound, and so on up the
gamut. Thus we shall get an apparatus which will mark
the notes of a melody each as it is sung ;'‘ and
after this it is not
.difficult to conceive a series olvibra-
tors each attuned to one of the few separate and distinct
sounds that the human voice can utter. Hero will be an
analogue to the photographer's camera; placed
_before a
speaker, such an apparatus will sonograph all he has tosay,
Some who smile at this will live to see the thing done. 71a
