mitted. The former showed that from October 1 to
December 31, 1849, there had heen 545 patients ad.
mitted on board the " Dreadnought" moored off Gree-
nwich, and that there were in hospital on October 1, 101.

now on board, sick 171, convalescent 5, and fit for duty
5. The patients discharged during the three months
amounted to 465, and the out-patients attended in the
same period to 430. The total number received since
the establishment in 1821 was 61,041. The balance

months ending December 31 ; of the former, the prin-
cipal item consisted of 6891. dividends on stock. The

TUB MUD HILLS IN THE CLAIPIIAI44IIIOAII.-.-.
The said mud (instead of being carted awny to some
proper place the moment it is scraped to the side of the
road, as in London streets) is deposited on the footpsth
until a customer may lt,lppen_ to require any for build-
ing purposes; so that, in fact, the road is nothing more
nor lees than a roadsand grinding establishment, tied the
dap->t on the public footpath, where it is placed for sale;
and if the sale should be slack, which it is at this season,
the footway is encumbere,l to a scandalous degree,' sb
much so, that tha mud heaps are fourfeet wide, or more,
