A public meeting of the subscribers to the proposed hos-
pital for Marylebone and Paddington was held on Thursday.
Mr. Tatham, the secretary, announced that the Bishop of
London, Mr. Thistlethwayte, and the other trustees of the
Paddington estate, had given a piece of land near the reser-
voir of the West Middlesex Waterworks Company for a site
for the proposed hospital ; and that Mr. Thistlethwayte had
made a donation of 1,0001., in addition to a previous donation
of 100/.- The value of the land was estimated at 2,0001., so
that there is now only wanting about 1,2001. to complete the
required sum of 15,0001. The amount of annual sub-
scribers, in addition to the subscriptions, for the establishment
of the institution, already exceeds 4001.

The removal of the bOdy of Weber from the chapel in
Moorfields has at length bean definitively decided upon. It
is to be given over to the charge of Weber's eldest son, now

raising in London, to aid that now in Germany, for the erec-
tion of a monument.

It is said that an understanding has been come to between
the President of the Board of Trade and the leading railway
companies, and the measure will pass without opposition.
Another bridge across the metropolitan portion of the
Thames is proposed. Among the speculations of the day is
a plan of a metropolitan junction railway, one of the most
conspicuous schemes of which is the formation of a railway
bridge across the river Thames at Battersea.
The sale of the Sussex library has now lasted sixteen
days, and will occupy eight more before this one portion only

posed of. The average profit of each .day's sale has been
about 4001. ; that of the entire sixteen days being no less than
6,407/. 15s.

A meeting was held on Thursday in the Vestry-room of
Christchurch, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of proposing
three ninepenny rates for the three ensuing quarters. Mr,
Churchwarden Hallen in the chair. Mr. Hawkins, overseer,
said, in excuse for the increased rate, that the parish was in
debt when he and his colleague came into office, and that up-
wards of 1,9001. would be required, including over 1,000/. to
the Poor-law Guardians, 7501. to meet a police-rate, and the
remainder for salaries to parish officers. After much discus-
sion, the ninepenny rate was agreed to.
