AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
The screw steamship Nova Scotian, Captain Bor-
land, which sailed from Quebec on the 28th ultimo,
arrived here this afternoon, bringing 385 passen-
gers (including 221 soldiers), but no specie.
The Asia, hence, arrived at New York on the
26th ult.

Lieutenant-General Sir W. Eyre, late Comman-
der of the Forces in Canada, returns by this
steamer.
Passengers from San Francisco deny the truth of
the published statement that Walker had sailed
with 300 men in the steamer Orizaba for Acapulco.
Walker, however, had an agent at the Gila mines,
enrolling volunteers for his filibustering expedition.
The French had abandoned the Marquesas
Islands for military purposes, and designed estab-
lishing a strong military and naval depot at New
Caledonia Island. The plan embraces the restora-
tion of Queen Pomare as ruler of the Society
Islands.
The telegraph lines between New York and
Quebec were out of order when the Nova Scotian
sailed; the advices are therefore not so full as they
would otherwise have been.

At the latest date the stock market was not very
active, but was firm and steady.
The money market and sterling exchange had
undergone no alteration.
The Quebec timber market was without anima-
tion.

Freights were quiet. The latest quotations were
28s. for Liverpool, 275. for Greenock, and 295. to
30s. for London.

sengers. She left New York on the 20th, and St.
John's on the evening of the 31st, and brings tele-
grams from New York to the 30th, making the

HOSPITAL FOBKIN. DISEASES OF THE
S

The anniversary festival of this excellent institution,
New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, took place yesterday at the
Brunswick Hotel, Blackwall, under the auspices of Mr.
Samuel Gurney, M.P., who was supported by Mr: Jona-
than Chapman, Mr. Rowel Morgan, F.R.C.S., Dr. J. Star-
tin, Mr. A. M' Whinnie, Mr. H. Weed, and Mr. Cornelius
Hanbury.
About fifty gentlemen sat down to dinner, which was
supplied by Mr. Blagrove in a manner that gave xniversal
satisfaction, every delicacy of the season being provided
with the utmost liberality, and the wines well sustaining
the deserved reputation of the Brunswick cellarage.
This hospital, with its suite of baths, was established in
1841, after the model of the Hopital St. Louis, in Paris,
for affording special medical aid to the poor of both sexes
suffering from any form of cutaneous disease, and also to
institute a school for the study of these complaints, and ar-
rive at a more successful mode of treatment than had pre-
viously been adopted for their cure. That the institution
has been eminently advantageous in these respects may
be deduced from the very large number of sick poor re-
lieved (nearly 100,000) since the foundation of the charity;
from the number of students who have profited by the
advantages of study afforded ; from the increased propor-
tion and rapidity of the cures effected as compared with
previous experience ; and from the fact that, from the im-
proved methods of treatment now in practice, afflicted indi-
viduals from the various general hospitals and dispensaries,
and from distant parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland!
often, after years of suffering, resort to this hospital, and
obtain the desired relief. To extend still further the bene-
fits of the charity, wards are opened for the reception of
female in-patients; the premises have been enlarged, and
a class above the indigent poor are admitted on the pay-
ment of a small sum, according to their means. An esti-
mate of the value of this institution may be gathered from
the result of 10,6.54 cases treated during the year. Of this
large number 6,329 were cured, 4,313 were relieved and are
still under treatment, and 12 died.
The expenditure of the hospital for the past
twelve months, including a debt of bygone
years, was £1,611 15 0
To meet which sum there are—

Donations and subscriptions to
the hospital £466 3 5

ceiving the benefit of the hos-
pital

operation and support as will enable them to carry out the
design of the institution, and to meet the increasing claims
upon it in a manner worthy of the object and of this great
metropolis.
The CHAIRMAN proposed in suitable terms, "Prosperity
to the Hospital for Diseases of the Skin," and, adverting to
the fact that funds were still required for further extend-
ing its usefulness, called upon the friends of the institution
to increase their contributions, and redouble their exertions
on its behalf. It was a gratifying feature, in connexion
with the charity, that no less than £687 had been sub-
scribed by the patients themselves. This was an example
which he should like to see followed by other eharities.
The toast was drunk with enthusiani.
The healths of Mr. Startin, Mr. M'Whinnie, the Chat-
man, and other friends of the hospital having been duly
honoured, the secretary announced subscriptions to the
amount of nearly £2,000.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
The supply of beasts in to-day's market was very mode-
rate. For most breeds•—the quality of which was by no
means prime—we had a steady demand, at fully Monday's
currency. We were well supplied with sheep, yet the
mutton trade ruled firm at the late improvement in value.
Lambs were in full average supply, and steady request on
former terms. There was a fair demand for calves at fully
late rates. Pigs ruled heavy-,- but mileh uuwa were lu '
proved request at from £l6 to £22 each.
