TREASUREL—J GURNEY HOARE, Esq.
The objects of the Metropolitan. Free Hospitql is to provide, gra-
tuitously, daily medical and surgical advice, and appropriate medi-
cines and treatment, for poor sick persons of all creeds and countries,
without the impediment of a governor's letter of recommendation—a
form which too often operates as a bar of exclusion in cases requiring
aid, and still more frequently causes prejudicial and sometimes even
fatal delay.
The efficacy of this principle of unrestricted admission was made
strikingly apparent during the prevalence of the recent pestilence,
when numerous cases of diarrhoea and incipient cholera presented
themselves, and, by timely treatment, were prevented from becom-
ing dangerously developed. Since the establishment of the Institu-
tion in 1836, upwards .of 120,000 persons have been admitted us
patients, and the annual average of this number is on the increase,
more than 10,000 cases having been registered during the past year.
To meet this increase the Committee have taken new and more ex-
tensive premises in Devonshire-square, Bishopsgate-street, a locality
contiguous to the poor and densely populated eastern districts of the
metropolis. These districts have hitherto been inadequately supplied
with the means of affording gratuitous medical relief, the London Hos-
pital being the only one, previous to the establishment of this, conve-
nient to the surrounding population ; and when it is remembered that
the locality spoken of comprisas Shoreditch, Bethnal-Green, Spital-
fields, Whitechapel, and other places equally populous anddestitute,
the benefit this hospital is likely to prove to the poor inhabitants of
these neighbourhoods can scarcely be overated.
Little need be said in the way of appeal on behalf of an Institution
so palpably beneficial. It is to those whom Providence has blessed
with abundance that the poor look up in their affliction for some
alleviation:of their hard lot, and the Committee feel assured that
they do not rely in vain on their fellow-citizens, and the
ntain afflue
thins
t
and humane generally, for the support requisite to mai
Hospital.

• FINE HEAD OF HAIR.
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.
The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amalgamation of its
purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly renowned through-
out the world for its remarkable virtues in nourishing, preserving,
and beautifying the Huraan Hair. It insinuates its balsamic
properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in its
embryo state, accelerates its growth, cleanses it Irons Scurf and
Dandruff, sustains it in maturity, and continues its pos-
session of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redun-
dancy, to the latest period of human life. Its operation in cases
of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in numerous instances
wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS'
MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by re-in-
stating, in full plenitude, the permanent gifts and graces of
nature. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the
basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine-
comb unnecessary..'

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Ministers on Thursday experienced another
check in the Assembly. M. COMBAREL DE LEYVAL
proposed that the concession of the Paris and Avig-
non Railway should be , granted to two companies
instead of to one only, the first company to construct
the road from Paris to Lyons, and the second com-
pany to construct the remainder of the road from
Lyons to Avignon. The Minister for Public Works
finding that he was likely to be in a minority, offered
to agree to the amendment on condition that both
companies should bind themselves mutually to com.
plete the works ; but even this condition was not
accepted, and the proposition of M. COMBAREL DE
LRYVAL was adopted by a large majority. The
Finance Minister is, therefore, no longer able to per-
form his agreement for the concession of the whole of
the road to the house of ROTHSCHILD, and should
they refuse to accept half instead of the whole, he
wilt have to'reconstruct his budget, and probably to
resign office. •

The auger of the Ministry against the Assembly
and the Council of State is unbounded, and the
official lifoniteur du Soir publishes the following com-
plaint of the executive against constitutional Go-
vernment :

" Doss the Government desire to protect society
against the spirit of disorder by repressive laws—does it
seek to arm justice against the excesses of the press. and
the administration against the plots of demagoguism ?
It meets but doubtful and lukewarm support from the
majority of the Assembly; the measures of safety that it
offers are killed by interminable procrastination of the
irresoluble difficulties of Parliamentary Government.
Yet people call for acts. They might as well ask the
mill to turn without water, the steam-carriage to go
without steam, or the ship to sail without sails."
In the meantime the feud between the various sec-
tions of the re-actionary party grows more embit-
tered every day. The Moniteur du Soir says—

" About-220-members of the Parliamentary Club, held
at the Council of State, assembled last evening, M.

Thiers was the first who ascended the tribune; the Hon.
Member drew a picture of the state of the country, in
which ke only saw a society threatened with a Socialist
Jacquerie, if energetic inelsures were not adopted. The
Hon. Gentleman concluded his speech by saying that he
was more than over dispoco.l to unite himself to the ma.
jority, and he called on the Legitimatists to declare them-
selves as to the policy they intended to pursue under
such critical circumstances. M. Betryer replied that his
party would always rally to the majority on questions of
order, but not on those which might compromise its po-
licy. M. Piscatory warmly blamed the amendment pre-
sented some days since by several members of the Right
concerning transportation, as, by a semblance of genere-
sity,-it might throw odium on the majority. The nr,cting
postponed to a future day coming to any definitive reso-
lution as to the state of affairs. It decided that it
would oppose the Bill for imposing a duty on
transfers on renter."

At this meeting M. TRIERS declared, with great
bitterness of tone and manner, "that the Moderate
party had no choice for the moment but that of ac-
cepting the Republic.''
The Committee to which the Bill was referred pro-
posing to give to the PRESIDENT of the Republic
power to dispose of the produce of the national
manufactures at Sevres, the Gobelins, and Beauvais,
for diplomatic presents, &c., has refused to grant that
power to the PRESIDENT, and has proposed to give It
to a Committee of the Assembly. This report (which
is personally insulting to the PRESIDENT) drawn
up by the Legitimatist, M. BETTING DE LANCASTEL.
The steam-frigate Cacique arrived at Toulon on
the Bth from Civita Vecchia, bringing a battery of
the 31 Regiment of Artillery, 130 cfficers and sub-
officers, and 105 horses. The Cacique left Civita
Vecchia on the sth, when a good deal of movement
was observable in the port, several steamers preparing
to take troops on board. The 25th
,Light Infantry
and the Ist Chasseurs were ready to embark. The
army of occupation, says the Toulon letter, was to be
reduced to 10,000 men, and even these might be re-
called, unless the POPE takes up his residence for an
indefinite period at Bologna or Ancona. The French
will not evacuate Rome until the POPE'S return.

COMPLIMENTARY BENEFIT TO MR. JAMES
ANDERSON. - CLOSING OF DRURY•LANE
THEATRE UNTIL WHITSUNTIDE.

On Wednesday next, the complimentary benefit which
the performers engaged at Drury-lane Theatre have
determined to give to Mr. James Anderson will
take place, and we trust the public will do their
duty as nobly as the members of the corps dra-
matig4e have done theirs, and will give Mr. An-
derson a bumper. The performances will consist
of the Lady of Lyons and of the Devil's Ring, and it is
announced that it will be " the last night previous to
Whitsuntide." We regret exceedingly to see this an-
nouncement, and it is by no means creditable to those
who hold themselves forth as the patrons and admirers
of the drama that this most praiseworthy attempt of
Mr. James Anderson to restore to the legitimate drama
its splendid home in Drury-lane, should have met with
such little success as to necessitate the closure of the
house within a fortnight after Easter. If tragedy, sup •
ported by Anderson, and the Vandenhoffs, and Cooper,
and Emery, and though last, yet perchance the greatest
of all, Laura Addison, the modern Miss. O'Neil, fails to
draw; then may we indeed despair of the cause of the
legitimate drama. Let us hope that the season after
Whitsuntide will yet repay Mr. Anderson for the great
and most praiseworthy exertions he has made.
