Railway Terminus, King's Cross.
Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN.
Vice-Patron—
His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G.
President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
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 '.er support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a largo 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 0,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit tho assistance of the
benevolmnt, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requilite funds to maintain them.
Contitty.tions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co.; Glyn and Co.;

TUE POLITICAL EVICTIONS IN WALES.

Public opinion is able 'to do great good in the way
of prevention of evil; but it is not-omnipotent. The
evils in connection with elections it has altogether
failed to prevent. Nothing could he more unanimous,
for instance, than the way in which the alleged poli-
tical evictions in Wales were protested against
a little while back : the Conservatives, on
whom the blame was cast, got nothing
from their organs but a denial of the
truth of the various statement. Yet wo are now
explicitly told that, "Notwithstanding the general
condemnation of such oppression, both in and out of
Parliament, many, though not all, of the notices
have been carried into effect; an '1 in Cardiganshire,
Carmarthenshirs, and Carnarvonshire, the tenants
have been driven from their homes, ant without any
compensation for the money which they have expended
on improvements, which has, in some cases, amounted
to considerable sums." The events (our in-
formant adds) have made a deep impression
in the Principality, and are likely to be followed by
a general express:on of public feeling and of practical
sympathy. A conference on the subject is to be held
at Aberystwith in the early part of next month, and
numerous popular demonstrations are likely to follow.
It is proposed to appoint, in each county where
evictions have taken place, assessors, who will in-
vestigate and report upon the losses of the sufferers ;
and also that, on a given Sunday, there shall be
a national collection throughout all the Noncon-
formist congregations in Wales and the Welsh
congregations in England. An appeal will also be
made to English Liberals, some of whom have
already promised their earnest and liberal support.
As an indication of the feeling which these evictions
are likely to evoke throughout the Liberal ranks, it
may be stated that Mr. Hugh Mason, of Ashton,
immediately on hearing of them, and unasked, for-
warded to .Mr. Richard, M.P., a cheque for £lOO
"for the cause of the evicted." Mr. .Morley, M.P.,
and others have also pledged themselves to support the
proposed movement. "Already," says a'contemporary,
" the effects of landlord tyranny are seen in the
numerous sales by auction of stock land farming
implements in Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire,
which are occasioning great popular excitement."

THE IRISH AND THE EXTRA POLICE.

The in one respect strange way the English
Government has adopted of punishing Irish districts
in which crime abounds—by making the ratepayers
pay for additional security—seems to be regarded
much in the light it was intended to be held—as an
infliction for negligence. Whenever there is an order
made for an additional force of constabulary in a dis-
trict marked by much crime, straightway the extreme
men—those generally, by the way, who palliate
the crime it is sought to suppress meet
and declare the measures of the State unnecessary.
The Government has just sent an additional force of
police to Portadown—a measure resulting from the
late riots there. The usual meeting has been held
and the usual protest passed. The Protestants lay
the blame of the riot upon the police, who interfered
to stop a party demonstration—in fact to prevent a
breach of the _acv. It would be impossible to shew
to them that the extra constables are necessary, as
the representatives of a law which must be upheld
notwithstanding that they disagree with it.

DOINGS AT NORWICH.

The Norwich Election Commission has had Sir
W. Russell, the sitting member, before it. He
declares that he gave positive instructions to his
agents to have no illegal practices; but the expenses
of the two Liberal candidates were £2,872, of which
Sir W. Russell paid half, under protest against
the sum. He does not believe that there was
any treating on the Liberal side, or any illegal
expenditure on his behalf at the last election. Sir
W. Russell likewise gives his opponent, Sir H.
Stracey, credit for being ignorant of and averse from
bribery and treating, at the contest in November. No
doubt there was considerable corriTtion on the Tory
side, and much drunkenness, but it was against the
wish of Sir H. Stracey.

TUB ALABAMA CLAIMS.

It is rumoured from Washington that the Government
of the United States contemplates a renewal of the nego-
tiations respecting the Alabama claims. Nothing will
probably be done until Congress meets, as the Government
wishes to be sure of the support of the Legislature before
it takes any more deci4ive steps, the last attempt at a
settlement having been frustrated by the action of the
Congress.

SPAIN'.

The Republican insurrection still holds its ground in
Valencia, and in cyder to reduce it, troops have been talceu
from Catalonia,. The gravest feature of the outbreak seems
to be the fact of seventeen deputies having joined the
insurgents. It is feared that others may be induced to
follow their example. The Trurac-Bat contains a dismal
description of the country which is suffering from this
fratricidal war. At Saragossa in particular the fighting has
been most severe, and the loss on both sides very considerable.
It is said that several Spanish families have emigrated to
Africa to escape the excesses cf the insurgents. The
damage done to the means of communication is so great
that it is difficult to obtain intelligence in a regukr form
and many telegrams are delayed in transmission.

The other day General Prim held a grand review of the
troops in 11ladrid, in order, it was supposed, to exhibit his
strength, and prove that the garrison had not been reduced
as the reports had stated. The last accounts do not fur-
nish definite information of the party headed by Sal-
vochea and Paul in Andalusia. It is mentioned that
the insurgents have suffered a defeat in Junquera, near
the French frontier, and that the chiefs had crossed the
frontier. Some of the Republican provincial papers have
been suppressed, and the minority deputies are secreting
themselves, in consequence of a report that they are to he
arrested under the Liberties Suspension Act. The Official
Gazette announces that over a thousand insurgents have
laid down their arms in Catalonia. The municipality of
Teruel have proclaimed the Republic.

THAMES.

LIZY PAUPERS.—James Hill, aged 41 years, James
Mitchell 20, John Smith 42, and James O'Brian, 30, were
charged with refusing to perform the task of work assigned
to them in the casual ward of the Ratcliffe Workhouse.
They were admited last night and 21bs of oakum was
given to them to pick this morning. After picking a few
ounces only, Smith and O'Brian gave up and refused to
pick any more. Hill and Mitchell would pick none at all.
The prisoners said the oakum wes peculiarly hard and
full of pitch.
Davies, superintendent of the casual ward, said the
oakum was of the ordinary description, and not hard or
covered with pitch.
Hill and Mitchell were sentenced to 14 days each, Smith

SUPPOSED EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF GLYCERINE SOAP.—
Thos. Cole, aged 26 years, landlord of the Algoa Bay beer-
shop, opposite Limehouse Church, and David Armstrong,
38, of the Leopard Coffeehouse, High-street, Poplar, were
charged with having in their possession 43 cans of glycerine
soap supposed to be stolen.

Robert Lamb, a clever detective, saw a cab in flout of
Coles's beer-shop, and the prisoners going in and out of
the beerhouse and loading the cab with new tin cans.
The cab drove off with thetwo prisoners towards Church-
row at the back of Limehouse Church, where it was
stopped by Lamb and another constable he called to his
assistance. The prisoners said they were on their way to
High-street, Wapping. They would not have reached
Wapping in that direction. There were 40 tin cans of
various sizes, containing each from 1 to 6 pounds
of scented glycerine soap. On searching the , Algoa
Bay beer shop, three more tins of glycerine
soap were discovered. Armstrong, who described
himself as a general dealer, said that ha bought the tins of
glycerine soap in the beer-house of a man ho did not
know for 17s. 6d., and he repeated this statement to In-

He
had just been informed there had been a robbery of six
tons of glycerine soap at a factory in the metropolis, and
he wanted a remand.
The magistrate remanded the prisoners for a week.

WESTMINSTER.
UNLAWFUL POSSESSION.—James Smith, a lad of 14, was
charged with unlawfully posse,s!ng a valuable diamond
ring.
Last night the prisoner sheaved a boy a diamond ring,
and asked him to go into the shop of Mr. Berry, a jeweller,
in the King's-road, and ask the value. Ile did so, and Mr.
Berry took the prisoner to the station, where prisoner said
he had found it in Park-walk, Chelsea.
Prisoner reiterated that statement now before the magis-
trate, and

Mr. Arnold orderod him to find bail to appear nex
Thursday.

The assured will thus always have the option of retain-
ng either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac-
cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being
set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any
future reference to the Company on these points, as is the
case with ordinary assurances.,
Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate
this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and
it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and
others who aro in the habit of making advances collaterally
secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by
mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re-
versionary, of a Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any
conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual
limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds
the objections before referred to will be entirely removed,
and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as
actual securities.

In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest
term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, (real-
' tors, and others holding policies of this class as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may be called
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of great importance whore policies
are held as collateral security.
It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon-
ditional, they will also ho unchallengeable on any ground
whatever. They may therefore bo aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.

The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new

DES7RUC7IVE 111? E.

This morning, about a quarter before two o'clock,
a fire, which was nearly attended with very disas-
trous consequences to life and property, happened
on the premises belonging to Mr. E. Herrick,
licensed victualler, and landlord of the Carlisle
Arms, Carlise-lane, Lambeth. The flames origi-
nated in the tap-room on the ground floor, owing
to some partially consumed tobacco falling upon
the floor. The inmates were aroused, but owing
to the strong hold which the flames had obtained
it was with the greatest difficulty that the parties
could be saved, and not before they were nearly
stifled with smoke. The powerful land steam
engines from Waterloo-road and Kennington-lane
stations were quickly in attendance, and they were
set to work ; but, although the supply of water
was most abundant, the flames could not be ex-
tinguished until the tap-room was burne I out,
and the rest of the ground floor and the cellar stock
damaged by fire, water, and heat. The loss will
fall upon the London and Liverpool and Globe
fire offices.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BETTING TRANSACTION.—Georgo Martin, described as
a gentleman, of No. 160, Gray's-inn-road, was chtaged
before Mr. Knox with assaulting Henry Packman, harness
maker, of No. 15, Princes-street, Chelsea.
The complainant said that he was in the Yorkshire
Grey public-house, Piccadilly, yesterday evening with
two friends, and, on the evening paper coming in, one of
his friends asked what horse had won, and his other friend
replied "Blue Gown." The defendant said, "I'll lay two
sovereigns to one that 'Blue Gown' has not won." His
friend said ho would take the bet, and he (complainant)
said, " Don't bet, because you have no money," but his
friend said ho would, and would go and get the money,
and on their going outside the defendant struck him in the
eye.
James Taylor, of 14, Pratt-street, St. Pancras, gave
similar evidence, as also did another witness.
Police-constable Fred. Longcroft, 46 (lE., said he saw
several persons come out of the Yorkshire Grey, amongst
them the defendant, who was very excited. The defen-
dant exclaimed, "Oh you thief," and then struck the com-
plainant.
In reply to Mr. Knox, the constable said the complainant
and his friends were sober, but the defendant was not.
The defendant said the complainant and his friends tried
to detain him in the house, but that they denied, and said
there was no attempt whatever to detain him.
Mr. Knox fined the defendant 40s. or a month.

MESSRS. FENIVICK AND SCHNEIDER.

The Standard assumes the information of the S'vertator
to be correct, and that Messrs. Fenwick and Schneider aro
no longer magistrates for Lancnshire. We wish very much
the matter could now be allowed to drop. The two ex-
members for Lancaster have probably been punished
heavily enough for their offence. No one can blame
them that they sought an honour given to all gentlo-
men of their wealth and position, and it is not pleasant
to us to have to keep before the public the fact of
their condemnation several years ago by the royal com-
missioners. But the matter is one which cannot be
allowed to drop. Men whom a resolution of the House
of Commons has declared unfit for a particular office have
been removed from it. That is so far satisfactory; but
what we want to know, what +he country wants to know,
is, who appointed them, and upon whose recommendation,
at whosa instance, and for what reasons they were
appointed? Who surprised the good faith of the
Minister ? Who imposed upon the Lord Lieutenant?
Whose superior influence led to such a sc9.nda-
lous to the House of Commons? Was the ap-
pointment a reward for fidelity to party, for sacrifices at
the late elections ? Were gentlemen who had " bled"
for Mr. Gladstone's causo at the general election
hoisted, as a reward, into a position of which Mr. Glad-
stone, when he thought there was a chance of annoying
the Tories, had vehemently declared they were unworthy ?
Daylight must be let into the affair, even at the cost of
keeping Messrs. Fenwick and Schneider before the public
for some weeks to conic in an unpleasant attitude. The
House of Commons will no doubt require a full explana-
tion from the Government, and we hope that the great
Minister to whom the Spectator mysteriously alludes will
be able to shew that the Government have really been
victimised, and that it has not, a 3 at present appears, deli-
berately defied the House of Commons and practically con-
fessed that all its loud denunciations of bribery and
corruption were nothing but hypocrisy and cant.

MR. CIIARLEY, M.P.

The .Daily Yews remarks that Mr. Charley, M.P., is in-
dignant with Mr.Odger for alluding to him at a meeting in
Southwark as " a man of the name of Charley." He must,
says Mr. Charley, "have known that I am a member of the
honourable House in which he aspires to sit," and he
ought to have known " that a unanimous vote of confi-
dence in me was passed in Salford Town-hall on the 15th
instant by a densely crowded open meeting of the elec-
tors." " Ignorance, Madame, gross ignorance," said Dr.
Johnson once to a lady who had asked how he came
to give iu his dictionary an explanation that happened
t) be erroneous. And, strange as it may appear to Mr.
Ciiarlcy, we have very little doubt that, while there are
many persons who take a general interest in politics who
are entirely ignorant of his existence, there are very few
who know of the unanimous vote of confidence in him
passed at Salford, beyond the limits of that somewhat con-
fiding borough. A man who, in season and out of season,
is ready to get up in the House of Commons and utter,
with an air of solemn gravity, sentences pregnant with
folly and exaggeration may acquire a species of notoriety
of a not very enviable kind within the walls of St.
Stephen's ; but Mr. Charley has not been long
enough in the House to, have had time to make
his name a household word in the country. Not
to know him is not as yet to argue oneself
unknown. We do not see, therefore, that he has any
legitimate cause of complaint against Mr. Odger.
On his own showing he informed a meeting of electors of
Southwark, in which he had obtruded himself, that Mr.
Odger was a " poor imitation of Mr. Ernest Jones," and
on Mr. Odger at a subsequent meeting hinting that Mr.
Charley was not exactly the man whose opinion, good, bad,
or indifferent, was of great weight—a view of the matter
from which few would dissent—he writes a letter full of
brag and bombast, terminating with an insinuation that
his antagonist is not a gentleman. As we had reported
the speech in which Mr. Odger took him to task, we pub-
lished his reply in our columns, but we do not think that
a recital of what Mr. Charley has done at Salford, or what
he is going to do in Southwark, will in any way affect
the question whether the " working man's candidate"
will be at the top or bottom of the poll on the day of
election.
