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 contributions
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
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions aro received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co„-
llerries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and

CAPTAIN BEDFORD PIM.

(From the United Ssrvice Gazette of April 25, 1868.)
An act of •justice has at last been done by the
Admiralty in the promotion of Commander Bed-
ford Pim to the rank of Captain. An enumeration
of the services of this distinguished officer would
serve to show how hardly advancement in the Royal
Navy is earned when unaccompanied by private in-
fluence.

Before attaining the rank of Lieutenant, Captain
Pim served in all quarters of the globe, but this his
first step came by seniority, and, moreover, he passed
the best examination of his day at college. He
volunteered and was employed in three Arctic ex-
peditions, and was the connecting link of the North-
West Passage, saving from starvation and death the
officers and crew of H.M.S. Investigator when hope-
lessly beset in the ice. He afterwards served with
distinction in the Russian and last Chinese wars,
and was wounded on three occasions, twice severely,
once receiving six bullet wounds.
Captain Pint is favourably known as an author
and writer of considerable ability. He has devoted
much time, energy, and money during the last six
years to his great project of opening a transit
through Nicaragua, and which is now in a fair way
of being carried out ; in addition to this, Captain
Pint has taken quite a lead in the development of
the commercial resources of Central America, and
to his business ability and organisation we are in-
debted for the successful introduction of more than
one undertaking in that part of the world.
Capt. Pim has made two efforts to obtain a seat
in Parliament ; his last attempt at Totues deserved
success, if only for the gallantry displayed iu at-
tacking the pocket borough of the then First Lord
of the Admiralty. We heartily wish Captain Pim
may succeed in the object of his ambition the next
time he enters the lists ; for men of his calibre and
thorough business knowledge are sadly wanted in
the House of Commons. At present there are
nearly seventy members of Parliament more or less
closely connected with the army, but not seven who
know anything of seafaring matters, a state of
affairs in the councils of this great maritime nation
which every well-wisher of his country must desire
to see remedied.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Tho supply of beasts was rather shorter than last week,
the number of sheep and lambs were about on a par. The
accounts of last week's dead meat markets made butchers
cautious, but reports of the dead meat trade being rather
more cheerful this morning salesmen were not inclined to
give way, and trade was consequently slow.
Of beasts there were 160 from Scotland, 2,217 from
various parts of Eng Lind, nil from Ireland, and 1,093
from the Continent.

The beef trade ruled dull, and foreign stock ;were in
popr supply, prices were lower.
Of sheep and lambs the supplies were 5,090 from abroad.

LETTER FROM DR. LIVINGSTONE.

We have been favoured with the following extract from
a private letter from Dr. Livingstone to a gentleman in
Bombay. It is dated March 2, 1867, and was written at
Bembo :—" I have been unable to send anything to the
coast since I left it till now, and have heard nothing from
the coast We have been very long in our

progress hither, but I think we are now on the watershed
between the Zambesi and Isapula, which flows, as report
says, into Lake Tanganyika. I have only nine of a fol-
lowing, but hope to get on in time, and do what I have
undertaken. In some parts we had plenty of meat ; I
could easily supply the pot with my rifle. In other parts
nothing could be procured, and we had to go on as best
we could. It was the rainy season, and we had a long
trudge through dripping forests, with the soil often
so sloppy the feet were constantly wet. This was made
worse by want of • food, not of fine dishes, but of even a
little porridge. The people could not sell grain ; thel
were subsisting themselves on mushrooms, which are very
good as catsup, but wretched watery food, producing
vivid visions of the roast beef of bygone days: Now we
have come to a land wheie food is to be bought, and we
mean to rest a little. When we get to Tanganyika Lake
we hope for news, and to find a second supply of goods.
I shall write to you from thence. Tell that his dog
turned out a famous one, and I was never so sorry for any
animal as when we lately lost him. He had more
spirit than fifty country dogs, and as soon as we got
a hut in the village he kept it clear of all curs, and never
stole himself. Ire was as much of an attraction as the
white man himself. He took charge of the whole line of
march, and was so spirited he went at anything. This is
how we lost him : we had to wade a marsh, a mile wide
and waist deep—a peaty bottom, with holes made by buffs"
loes' feet, which made us all flounder. I went first and
forgot the poor doggie. He must have swam among the
boys, each one minding himself, till he. was drowned ; no
one noticed him. lam unable to write to Dr. Wilson,
though I ought to do so, but the slave trader will not give
me more time. I consumed Mrs. —'s extract of meat
from real gnawing hunger, and found it excellent. I have
lost all my medicines—the sorest loss of goods I ever sus-
tained. You will excuse my brevity. The slavery party
leaves, and I must write several letters. Blessings from
the Highest be on you all, my dear friends.—DAVlD

SPORTING NOTES.

Mr. Topham's programme put forth for Tuesday
and the three following days exactly resembles
those issued last year and the year before, being
mainly made up of insignificant handicaps, nearly
the same horses being engaged in each. After the
opening day we must not look for large fields, be-
cause a strong light will be thrown on the after

• events by the running of Tuesday, when the Eaton
Plate will be the most interesting of the eight races
on the list. Out-and-Outer has a 101 b penalty
which extinguishes his chance. Sir Oliver and
Huntsman appear to me to have the race between
them, and I prefer them in the order named.
As Blinkhoolie will be reserved for the Great
Northern Ilan:heap the Welter Cup seems at the
mercy of Rabbit 'reap and Three per Cent. Diadem
or Milton shouLl win the CheAerlield Stakes ;
Bagpipes • the Mostyn Stakes ; and Grand
Cross or the Corporal tie Wynnstay Stakes.
S datnauca and CLar have the Palatine Stakes be-
tween them ; th.; pair, however, b,:ing worth c at-
siderably more than the su.n for which they are
entered to be sold (£200). •Oa Wednesday the
Cup will be ran fur, and towards the close the
betting may be of a more spirited character than it
has heea during the past few days. The run upon
Paul Jones seems to have paralysed speculation in
other directions, and it is said that some of those
who hold positions in the quotations now will, be
pulled out of his way when Mr—Hodgman and
other owners have an opportunity of laying their
heads together. The most notable withdrawals up
to the present time have been those of Weather
Star, Owain Glyndwr, and Beeswiug, and there
has been little " milking" in connection with the
race, the Shiffnal pair—Grey Stocking and See-Saw
—being all
.that the book-makers have shown
themselves disposed to take liberties with.

.The Price of Gold.

The courie of exchange at New York on London for bills
at on days' sight is about JOi.I per cent. At this rate there
s no profit on the iinvort4tiou of gold front the linked
States.

The quotation et gold at Paris is about at par, and
tle short exchange on London is 251. 170. per £1 sterling.
Juemparing. these rates with the English -lint price tit
Ci iis. 1041 per ounce for stsulard gold, it appe.. s that
gold is about the 801113 price in Paris age! in London.

The correspondent of the Post at Rome writes :

" A striking instance of a purely religious vocation in its
most austere monastic form is afforded by the withdraw-
ing from the brilliant existence of a fashionable London
life adopted by the Hon. G. Lane Fox, who now wears
the garb and adheres to the strictly penitentiary rules of
a Dominican novice in the monastery of Santa Sabina, vo-
luntariy inflicting on himself &went- penance even than
the rules of the order require of him. I understand that
this conscientious convert's ulti►rate intentions are to
embraca the strictest rules of monastic life, as presented
by the Carthusian or Trappist orders."

CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

The May Sasion of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning. The number of prisoners
for trial is 87—namely, 77 males and 10 females,
and it is satisfactory to find that there are not many
very heinous cases to be disposed of. The calendar
does not contain a single charge of wilful murder,
and the most serious charge of this character
is that against a prisoner named Thomas Holland,
of endeavouring to murder his child, a little girl,
six years of age, by throwing her into the river
Thames at Bankside. A lad, named Timothy
Keefe, is also charged with attempting to commit
murder by shooting. There are two or three
charges of manslaughter, and amongst them is the
one against a man named James Brooks, in having
caused the death of Lieut. Bullock, at Hammer-
smith, under rather extraordinary circumstances, by
driving a horse and cart over him. There is also
another Fenian case to be disposed of at this ses-
sion, that of the man Peter Moran, or Morgan,
who is committed for inducing a number of sol-
diers to desert from their regiment and join the so-
called Fenian army. Among the other cases that
will have to be disposed of is the charge against
Mr. Robert Short Waters, formerly steward to the
Earl of Shaftesbury, who stands charged upon
several indictments with having embezzled very large
sums of money belonging to the noble earl, and which
he had received in his capacity of steward. The case
has been standing over for a period of more than
two years, and the order originally made by the
Court was that the charge of embezzlement should
not be tried until proceedings had been taken
in Chancery by the defendant Waters, and which
involved an inquiry into the state of the accounts be-
tween the parties, should have been disposed of, and
a decree made declaring on which side the balance
was really due, the defendant Waters claiming
by his bill to be entitled to receive a large sum
of money from the Earl of Shaftesbury, instead
of having embezzled any from him. The defen-
dant, however, at the December session made an
application that the trial should take place,
alleging that although no decree had been made
the proceedings in Chancery were virtually con-
cluded, as he had no means to carry them on any
longer, and Mr. Justice Shee, to whom the appli-
cation was made, made a peremptory order that the
trial should come on at the ensuing May session.
The judges who preside are the Lord Chief Justice,
Mr. Justice Willes, and Mr. Baron Channell, and
the aldermen who will sit as second commissioners
are Messrs. Wilson, Sidney, Carden, Hale, Besley,
and Cotton.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

' (From the Anglo-American Timq.)
PARIS, April 30.
I never conclude mY weekly letter but, like the
farmex of Melun, I fancy that I have forgotten
something. As the agriculturist in question may
not be familiar to the reader, I will briefly mention
that the aforesaid individual drove his horse and
cart one day to the neighbouring market town for the
purpose of disposing of his produce in exchange for
the various requisites of his household : he was not
alone, for the good dame his wife accompaniel him.
After accomplishing
.the object of his journey he
entered the establishment of a marchand du via, and
gave himself up to the allurements of a social glass, and
an interminablepartie at Piquet (the French national
game par excellence). Time
passed on, glass fol-
lowed glass, and partie succeeded partie, until our
hero found that, like Tam O'Shanter, he had con-
siderably overstayed his time. The reckoning was
called, the old horse put to in the greatest possible
hurry, and after giving a brief glance at his nume-
rous packages the farmer set off on his homeward
route. All along the road, however, an idea seemed
to strike him that he had forgotten something ; it
was in vain that in his mind's eye he again ran over
the various commissions with which he had been en-
trusted. " I have got the oil," said he, " and the seeds,
and the rice, and the brandy, and the tobacco, but
still I can't help thinking that I have left something,
behind." Nothing, however, occurred to him in expl-
anation of his idea. In course of time he arrived
in the farm yard, and descending handed the reins
to the manservant in attendance. "Et la bour-
geoise" (in rustic and vernacular, Where's the missis?)
said the latter, with open mouth and eyes. " Sacre
tounerre !" exclaimed his worthy master. " I thought
I had forgotten something." He had left his wife
behind at Mclun. And in like manner I have often
entertained, and as often forgotten to express the
idea, that there are many little varieties of everyday
life in Paris which, though ordinarily passed over by
newspaper correspondents, and possibly escaping
the observation of a visitor, may nevertheless
prove greatly interesting to the foreign reader.
An American or Englishman coming to Paris
will, of course, visit all places of public inte-
rest and amusement ; he will find his way to
the Palaces of the Tuileries and tha Louvre, Ver-
sailles, St Cloud, &c. ; he will visit the Celebrated
manufactory of Gobelin tapestry, the fabrication
of which has been brought to such perfection as to
render it difficult to decide whether you are regard-
ing a product of the loom, an inimitable painting by
Watteau, or the equally celebrated one of porcelain
at Sevres, whose works rival, if not surpass, those of
far Cathay. He will look in upon the ancient and
celebrated Cathedral of Notre Dame, now under-
going the process of restoration ; though he may

MARKETS.—(This Day.)

CORN.
The fine weather, and the favourable appearance of the
growing crop, although too early to advert upon with any
certainty, are not without some influence on the trade,
increasing the caution on the part of buyers, and render-
ing factors rather easier to deal with.
From the country markets the reports speak of a dull-
ness in the trade, with quotations here and there a shade
easier for wheat, spring corn remaining,steady.
At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was fair, but
the trade opened with rather loss strength in quotations;
but without any very marked alteration.
English wheat was not in large supply, but was perhaps
easier in price.
Sales of foreign not pressed, but late rates barely sus-
tained.
The number of floating cargoes of wheat off the coast is
reduced to 28, and these aro firmly held, the addition
advised from shipping ports to the numbers now on pass-
ing being small.
The flour trade is dull, buyers have the turn of prices
in their favour for both English and foreign.
No quotable change in malt, and the trade inactive.
Barley in limited supply, and relatively firm, with a fair

inquiry.
Beans a quiet sale at about late rates.
Peas not quoted at any appreciable change.
Oats are purchased more sparingly, and aro the turn
easier. _ _

-----
Oilseeds continue dull of sale.

Oilcake quiet, with drooping prices.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

MEAT.--On Saturday the supplies of meat were iu excess
of demand, and, with lower prices, a good deal of meat
was left unsold. This morning there is very little fresh
meat up, and the weather not being quite so close, trade
is rather more cheerful, but hardly to eStabliSh any better
Prices. We quote beef, prime, 4s to 4s 2d ; middling,
3s 8d to 3s 10d; inferior, 33 4d to 3s CI. Mutton,
prime, 4s to 4s 4d ; second qualities, 3s 8d to 3s 10d ;
good, 3s 4d to 3s Bd. Veal, 3s 4d to 4s 8d ; pork, 4s 44

LETTER FROM D.R. LIVINGSTONE.

We have been favoured with the following extract from
a private letter from Dr. Livingstone to a gentleman in
Bombay. It is dated March 2, 1867, and was written at
Bembo :--" I have been unable to send anything to the
coast since I left it till now, and have heard nothing•from
the coast We have been very long in our
progress hither, but I think we are now on the watershed
between the Zambesi and Isapula, which flows, as report
says, into Lake Tanganyika. I have only nine of a fol-
lowing, but hope to get on in time, and do what I have
undertaken. In some parts we had plenty of meat ; I
could easily supply the pot with my rifle. In other parts
nothing could be procured, and we had to go on as best
we could. It was the rainy season, and we had a long
trudge through dripping forests, with the soil often
so sloppy the feet were constantly wet. This was made
worse by want of food, not of fine dishes, but of even a
little porridge. The people could not sell grain ; their
were subsisting themselves on mushrooms, which are very
good as catsup, but wretched watery food, producing
vivid visions of the roast beef of bygone days. Now we
have come to a land where food is to be bought, and we
mean to rest a little. When we get to Tanganyika Lake
we hope for news, and to find a second supply of goods.
I shall write to you from thence. Tell that his dog
turned out a famous one, and I was never so sorry for any
animal as when we lately lost him. He had more
spirit than fifty country dogs, and as soon as we got
a hut in the village be kept it clear of all curs, and never
stole himself. He.was as much of an attraction as the
white man himself, He took charge of the whole line of
march, and was so spirited he went at anything. This is
how we lost him : we had to wade a marsh, a mile wide
and waist deep—a peaty bottom, with holes made by buffa-
loes' feet, which made us all flounder. I went first and
forgot the poor doggie. He must have swam among the
boys, each one minding himself, till he was drowned ; no
one noticed him. lam unable to write to Dr. Wilson,
though I ought to do so, but the slave trader will not give
me more time. I consumed Mrs. —'s extract of meat
from real gnawing hunger, and found it excellent. I have
lost all my medicines—the sorest loss of goods I ever sus-
tained. You will excuse my brevity. The slavery party
leaves, and I must write several letters. Blessings from
the Highest be on you all, my dear friends.—DAviD
LIVINGSTONE."—Times of India, April 11.
