open another house for this pitiable class.
The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 521 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

This Hospital, founded in 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 for support on voluntary contribution
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

NAVAL AND MILITARY IN7ELLIGENCE.

Corps, consisting of about 44 non-commissioned
Yesterday a company of the Commissariat Staff
officers and men, left Aldershot camp by rail, en
route to Liverpool, there to embark for Canada.
The mounted portion of the detachment of No.
21 Troop Military. Train. marched from Aldershot
on Monday en route to Colchester. The dismounted
detachment will proceed by railway to the same
destination on Friday.
Much inconvenience having,
been occasioned by
the employment of regimental officers for an undue
.period' on the personal staff of General officers, and
of governors of the-colonies, it has been decided to.
restrict the term of service in such capacity to five
years in the former and six years in the latter case.
When an officer has completed such period, he *ill
be required to rejoin his regiment, and do duty with
it two years before he can be again similarly em-
ployed, unless he is willing to exchange to tempo-
rary half-pay.

Commanding officers of regiments at home and
depots of regiments on foreign service are ordered
to transmit to the Adjutant-General nominal re-
turns of all non-commissioned officers and others
who are borne in their corps as supernumeraries,
showing the situations held by them, the dates of
appointment, and, if the individual is married, the
date of marriage.

His Excellency Lieut.-General Renar.l, Belgian
Alinister of War, accompanied by his aide-de-camp,
Capt. Renard, arrived at Portsmouth, from
London, on Sunday evening, on a visit of inspec-
tion to the fortifications- of the port and roadstead,
and on alighting from the train at the Landport
Railway terminus was received by the Chevalier
Van Den Bergh, the Belgian Consul for Ports-
mouth. On Monday his Excellency, attended by
the Consul, paid the customary official visits to Ad-
mirals Sir Thomas Pasley and G. G. Wellesley,
C. 8., the Admiral Commanding-in. Chief and Ad-
miral Superintendent, at their residences in the

The crowd standing outside Tattersall's on Mon-
day afternoon watched each great bookmaker or
turf patron alight from his cab or brougham, and
disappear through the door of the subscri otion room
with a wistful and anxious, bat in the end gratified,
air. Just as after a severe battle the survivors con-
gratulate each other on being alive, so, now that
the stormy Derby week is over, its combatants look
round to see who are, and who are not, in the list
of killed and wounded. '1 he assembly round Tat-
tersall's was of the lower middle class of the turf.
Small list-keepers, whose fate deperiiied upon their
more important brethren being Artie—minnows
whose very life hung on the tritons not ,being too
severely bit ; sporting publicans, tradesmen, and
artisans, together with an ex-pugilist or two, made
up the throng. A former champion stood with his
back to the all-important door, gaily joked
with a semicircle of admirers; awell- nown eastend
list keeper laid down the law to hii.disciples as to
the hazards of the settling; and constant and hur-
ried colloquies were held between those going to
the rooms and tbe yard, and those compelled to re-
main outside. It lis on record that the fortunate
mortals who have won their way into exclusive and
exalted society have occasionally had recreants in
their ranks who condemned the fashionable salt of
the earth as dull. Becky Sharpe, with a baronet
for a brother-in-law and An earl's doughter for a
friend, felt the hollowness of human grandeur, and
thought she was happier with the Bohemian artists
in Soho ; and Thackeray himself declared be had
met people who, having stood face to face with the
great and good George IV., said that, too, was
vanity. If the sporting outsiders at Knightsbridge
bad any fanciful or high-flown estimate of the scene
beyond the magic portals, or if any readers imagine
settling day at Tattersall's to be anything but a
staid, formal, and business-like event, they would
have been strangely surprised at the proceedings of
Monday. It was a good settling. " Parting," as a
sprang correspondent wittily writes, was a " sweet
'sorrow" indulged in to the extent of more than half a
million of money. But neither elation nor regret, nor
excitement nor emotion, found visible signs. Well-
-dressed men began to flock into the great room
about 3, and continued to flock in so rapidly that
by 4 the place was crowded and impassable. With
balance-sheet or betting-book in hand, and pockets
and in some eases breasts stuffed with gold and
notes, the various members walked round the room,
satisfying and enforcing claims. The gait and
bearing most in vogue at Tattersall's savours of the
prowl. The head bent a little forward, eyes roving
from right to left, face at once preoccupied and
watchful, and an entire attitude expressive of
anxiety to recognise debtors, are perhaps natural
characteristics when thousands are being paid away
without legal acknowledgment or formal receipt.
Two men meet, nod, grunt out "one-forty-five," or
other amo'int, and pay and pocket respectively with-
out any memorandum passing save a pencil tick on
the slip of paper carried by each. These are the
peripatetic settlers. But at each end of the hand-
some lofty room stand circular desks, round which
the men of larger transactions were paying and re-
ceiving during the afternoon. A few of the betting
giants sat at lower tables near, with piles of gold and
fat bundles of bank-notes before them, like money
changers ; and the rapidity with which these were
melted down, and the complete uuaaimity between
debtor and creditor were very remarkable. A large
and well-conducted bank, the Royal Exchange, or
:ptherplacp.3 where " merchants most do_congre-.
gatic" a morning conversazione at which the hum
of talk is supplemented by the chink of gold, were
all brought to mind by Tattersall's. The settling
was grave, orderly, and to those not pecuniarily
interested a little dull. Such scraps of talk as
" Looking out for two men—one owing me £9OO
and another £7OO, and should be easier if I saw
em ;" " Only won £1,300 on the week, all told ;"
" I owe you some money or else you owe me some
, money, which is it ?" were constantly floating in
the air," but " Change me a hundred," or words to
similar effect, are a better sample of the general
talk. The Subscription-room is luxuriously ap-
pointed. Tesselated pavement, stuffed leather fixed
seats running round the walls as at club smoking-
rooms, and nothing to impede locomotion save the
; few tables we have instanced, stained glass win-
dows and decorations, the rich effect of which is
chastened by good taste, make up its interior.
Lord George Bentinck is reported to have said,
" all men are equal on the turf and under it ;" and
to visit Tattersall's is to realise the truth of the
axiom. Members of both Houses ; the highest
rank in the peerage, and some of the lowest rungs
in the social ladder ; comfortable, prosperous
respectability, and coarseness and irritability fined
down by the absorbing interest of the hour; the
educated and the uneducated ; the vulgar and the
refined ; plebeians who looked like peers who might
be plebeians, were all crowded together, and all
transacting grave business in a grave way. It was
singular among the mass of people to whom betting
is either a profession, or the principal amusement
in life, to note faces familiar elsewhere, but who
seem out of place at Tattersall's. A civic func-
tionary whose garb of office is familiar at the cere-
mouials of the year; a sober professional man,
whose face recalls consultations and heavy fees—a
busy merchant whose name is " good" for heavy
amounts in the city, might be seen in rapid suc-
cession—betting-book in hand—going through the
ordinary forms of the place. The printed lists of
the peers and other members who elect to pay
through agents and of those agents' names were
being consulted throughout the settling ; but a
cheerful resignation to and superiority over the
rubs of fortune were the marked features of the
day. " Those who can't pay won't come," replied
one gentleman philosophically to a friend's con-
gratulation on the highly satisfactory character of
the settling ; and his remark had cogency and force.

London, forty years ago, contained, with its nu-
merous suburbs, a million and a half of p3ople. It has
now double that number. New York and its suburbs
have now a greater population than London bad in
1828, and this doubtless in about every fifteen years,
instead of forty. If we allow to London a yearly
increase in population of two per cent. on three millions of
•
inhabitants, and to New York an increase of five per cent.
on a million and a half, London will contain, in 1882, four
millions, and New York and its suburbs three millions. In
1893 they should be nearly equal, New York being in ad-
vance, with 4,849,387 against 4,823,511 in London.

AN AMERICAN PAPER ON IRELAND.

There is an able article in the Round Table on
the wrongs of Ireland, which, it states, began on
the quarrel of Henry VIII. with Rome, making
the English a Protestant people without converting
the Irish from the faith of their forefathers. The
entire property and revenues of the old Church
passing into possession of the new, laid the foun-
dations of that political, social, and religious mis-
government from which Ireland has suffered from
the Tudors to the Guelphs. A whole people were
made to support a religion professed only by a small
number of alien residents. The Catholic Irish had
to furnish the means for an ecclesiastical system
which they held to be a " damnable " heresy, ten-
tenths of the population having to contribute to the
maintenance of a clergy whose dogmas were recog-
nized only by one-tenth. The Episcopal Establish-
ment in Ireland counts 693,300 members out of
5,720,000, with a revenue of £600,000, of which
one-third is from lauded property and two-thirds
from tithes, the tenants, that is the Catholic people,
being indirectly the persons taxed ; supplying, ac-
cording to the Round Table, £400,000 a year of
that sum. To maintain this huge wrong has been
the cause of the misgovernment of Ireland. The
Round Table asserts that the experience of history
goes to show that one country is really unfit to
govern another, and it is under the Federal sys-
tem alone that different nationalities can hope
to live together' ia harmAsr:s- The celestion at issue
between England and Ireland is one of race, pro-
ducing au antagonism to be overcome neither by
violence nor conciliation. Those who boast that
the people of Ireland have been governed by pre-
cisely
the same laws as the people of Eng-
land do not touch the real point, even were it
the case, which it has been only during the
last few decades, for it would still remain the
worst possible plan. Ireland differs radically from
England, having nothing in common with her, and
presenting an irreconcilable contrast. She has no
historical associations—no national sympathies with
her ; the heroes of England have been the scourges
of Ireland. Cromwell and William 111. are quoted
las instances. Of course the Round Table means
William
HI., although it actually states William the
Fourth, not in figures but in letters, to be the King
who violated the treaty of Limerick, and approved
the Bloody Code. When the First Napoleon was
lampooned in England, Irish poets sang paeans to
his greatness; when Fox lost the confidence and
love of his own conntrymen he was almost wor-
shipped by the Irish ; Garibaldi was popular in
England, but the reverse iu Ireland. It is a most
mischievous idea to govern Ireland as England is
governed ; the former requiring a rule essentially un-
like, and before she can become as )und member of the
empire a decentralising policy must be adopted.
Total separation is only desired by a small fraction
of the people, who know they could not exist with-
out the csnnection. The Round Table points out
the prominent part taken by Irishmen in the Go-
vernment of the Empire, and thus proceeds to de-
scribe the parties into which Ireland is split :
" Independent of the ultra Protestant Orangemen
of the North, who are mostly of Anglo-Saxon de-
scent, and have never sympathised with the native
population, Ireland may now be said to be divided
into three great parties, all more or less disaffected
toward the English Government. To the first be-
long the Fenians, recruited principally from the
lowest strata of the people, who insist on entire se-
paration and annexation to the United States. The
second comprise the anti-Unionists, or Repealcrs,
who demand an English von Beust, and the
same autonomy for Ireland in the British em-
pire as that which Hungary has lately obtained
from the Austrian. This party, though not the most
numerous in times of excitement, is yet the most
influential. To the third belong the Unionists, re-
presented in the Imperial Parliament by Maguire,
'lke O'llonoghue, and others, who desire the pre-
servation of the Union of 1800, but hope to obtain
such radical reforms as can be secured by strictly
constitutional means. This party comprise the
higher society, and its influence only makes itself
felt in tranquil times. These three factors the Bri-
tish Government has to take into account in deal-
ing with Ireland. The Repealers are only just re-
gaining their ground, and a statesmanlike policy
might win their confidence. Mr. Gladstone's Re-
solutions are already a step in the right direction,
for the solution of the Church question involves the
solution of many others. Let the 800,000 acres,
which number also includes the glebe lands owned
by the Established Church, once revert to the
State, and the land tenure grievance can easily
be settled without prejudice to vested rights, on
the admirable plan suggested by Mr. Bright."

The startling statement of the Pays, that three
persons had been arrested at Rouen for conspiring,
against the life of the Emperor Napoleon is autho-
ritatively contradicted by the Constitutionnel.

The New York advices mention that the smaller
denominations of United States bonds are in request
at relatively advanced prices owing to their being
largely used in place of letters of creiit. Formerly
the. newspapers were crowded with advertisements
from bankers, inviting travellers and men of busi-
ness to buy their letters of credit, and a largo amount of
business was transacted in this way. Bonds are now sub-
stituted, especially by German and continental travellers
visiting Europe. " They find them much cheaper and
more easy of negotiation than the old-fashioned docu-
ments."
THE TEA DUTY IS REDUCED —Hornintan's Pure Tea is
sold Bd. per pound Cheaper. This interesting fact will, when
fully known, even further increase the demand for these
choice, long-approved Teas. They aro not sold loose, but
