CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market
were tolerably large, of which a considerable portion was of
the new crop. Old qualities were quite unsaleable, and
nominally 3s to 4s per quarter lower ; but for new samples
there was a steady demand, at from Ms to GGs per quarter.
Foreign wheat changed hands to a fair extent for export
to France, and for all good and fine descriptions prices ruled
firm.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full
quotations.

All kinds of barley moved off slowly, at about previous
rates. New malting was quoted at 34s to 40s per quarter.
Good and fine samples of malt sold steadily, at full prices,
but inferior kinds were a dull inquiry.
The oat trade was dull, and low qualities were rather
cheaper.

Beans sold at rates previously current.
For peas the demand ruled steady, at 40s for new white,
and 38s to 40s for new gray samples.
Flour changed hands heavily, on rather easier terms.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND
DISEASES OF THE CHEW; BROMPTOIV:

A quarterly court of the governors of this valuable charity
was held yesterday afternoon, in the board room of the
hospital—Lieutenant-General the Hon. Thomas Ashburn-
ham in the chair. Amongst the governors present were the
Rev. Sir H. Foulis, Bart., the Hon. J. Percy, C. D. Gor-
don, Esq., Thomas Howard, Esq., T. M. Bridge, Esq., J.
H. Wilson, Esq., Dr. Dickson, C. Few, Esq., T. P. Beck-
with, Esq., W. Barker, Esq., and Dr. Pollock.
The following report was road by the secretary :
" The committee of management have the gratification to
report that since the annual court of governors in May the
charity has been steadily doing its work of usefulness. All
the beds (numbering just 200) have been kept constantly
occupied, until quite recently, when it became necessary to
commence distempering and whitewashing one half of the
building. This work is now lying done, a ward or two at
a time, in order to keep only a very small number of beds
empty.

" The number of patients, both in and out door, who have
been under treatment during the past three months is
greater than those relieved in the corresponding quarter of
last year.

"The number of applicants for admission as in .patients,
which was so unusually large during the past trying winter
and spring (though it has been much reduced of late), is
still considerable; there being now nearly double as many
on the list as there were at this time last year.
"The committee are still constantly encouraged by re-
ceiving strong evidences of the value of this hospital to the
class of sufferers for whose benefit it was originated upwards
of 20 years since.
" Whilst the demands upon the resources of the hospital
have thus been growing, and the working expenses have been
increased by reason of the advance in the price of provisions,
the committee regret to state that the donations and church
collections have fallen off during the last few months. They
believe that this is due in a great measure to causes which
they hope are but temporary—vit., the unfavourable state of
commerce, and the diversion of verylarge sums of money into
extraordinary channels of benevolence.
" The committee feel satisfied, from the gradual increase
in the amount of the annual subscriptions, that the charity
maintains its high position in public estimation. They
therefore, appeal with full confidence for :the means which
are needful for its support. They desire to bring promi-
nently under the notice of the benevolent the fact that a
sum of upwards of 44,000 a year over and above the annual
subscriptions is required to meet the yearly expenditure ; and
that increased aid in the shape of donations, legacies, &c., is
therefore absolutely necessary, in order to prevent the humane
efforts of this charity from being crippled. The committee
have the pleasure to report that the comfort of the out-
patients has been materially increased by the erection of a
drinking fountain of pleasing design, which has been kindly
presented by Mr. Cosmo Duff Gordon.
" Intelligence of the following legacies has been received
since the last court :

C. D. Sheppard, Esq., £lOOO Consols.
R. Forest, Esq., £5OO reversionary.
