lutmost satisfaction to see around him so many gentiernen
prepand to support the Institution in the principles on which
it had been founded. When he began his efforts he 'neVer
expected to have been enabled to do so much; at-that period
there was not one institution that gave immediate relief to
the destitute stranger; there was no institution in the metro-
polis that gave the slightest protection to ,these poor and
friendless creatures. It was in consequence of seeing a poor
and delicate girl of sixteen years of age perishing of want
and disease in the streets of London, that the first efforts for
establishing such an Institution were made—a charity that
should give relief to those who were perfectly friendless .and
destitute. St.-Bartholomew's Hospital was founded 700 Years
ago, and for the last 300 years it had been conducted on the
same-principles till within the past year, when a great altera-
tion had taken place in • it. In 1553 St Thomas's
Hospital was founded, and from that time up to 1;74
there were only two hospitals in the metropolis. since that
period five hospitals had been established in London ; but it
was strange that since the year 1828, there had been none
established. These hospitals not being free, the very poor
and utterly friendless were quite prevented from getting-into
these institutions. St. Bartholemew's was possessed of con-
siderable revenues, and if it were a free hospital, it would be
able by its immense funds to relieve the w:►ole.of the desti-
tute sick of the metropolis.
Lord SANDON proposed " The health of their Noble Chair-
man, Lord Ashley." Drank with enthuSiastie applause.
The CHAIRMAN thanked them from the bottom of his
heart for this testimony of kindness, which might be the
more valuable, perhaps, because he felt it to be unmerited.
The particular charm of such meetings as this was,
that they kept gathering together men of all degrees, of
all stations and property, of all callings and professions,
of all forms of public and private opinion. All these Ivere
found leaving their general pursuits and their personal inter •
ests, merging their differences that they might be banded
together in one common cause.—(llear.) 'They ought to
cherish this universality of feeling ; it was peculiar to those
free institutions which, in this great and glorious country,
were not of recent birth, but of ancient standing. Those in-
stitutions could be observed only by those citizens who were
led by discipline, and accustomed to practise habits of dig-
nified and useful self-control. It was useful to all of them to
attend such a meeting as the present. Here those who had
the means of doing good might learn how much good their
bounty might effect. As their Chairman, if he had dis-
charged his duty to their satisfaction, their approval would
far surpass his just reward. He concluded by proposing- the
health of Lord Robert Grosvenor and Mr. Samuel Gurney.
Lord It. Gnosvicson, acknowledged the toast, taking the
opportunity of denying that this charity had any disposition
to underrate minden-alit° the exertions of other institutions.
Ile acknowledged the liberal contributions of the evening,
and mentioned in terms of eulogy, the assistance the Ilusp;tal
had received from the Coroner of Middlesex, Mr. Waklev.
Several other toasts were given, and duly lionoureii. Lord
Ashley left the chair at eleven o'clock, and the meeting
separated.

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
Some brief allusion to the liberality of his Imperial Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Russia during his recent visit to this
country appeared in The Sun of yesterday. The extent of
the Emperor's munificence, however, is not at all apparent
from the brief statement there made, and will be better
understood from the following detail of some among the very .
many acts of liberality which have distinguished his Ma-
jesty s sojourn at the Court of Queen Victoria:—
HER MAJESTY'S HOUSEHOLD.—To each of the principal
Lords of the Queen's Household (six in number) the Emperor,
upon taking his departure, presented a magnificent gold snuff--
box, elaborated with a beautifully executed enamel portrait of
his Majesty, surrounded by diamonds. These boxes are of
Russian manufacture, and of the most.superb description. The
Equerries and Groens in Waiting on the Emperor were also
presented with boxes of a similar description, surmounted by
the Imperial cipher and set in brilliants .To three chief officers
of the Royal Mews, the Emperor presented massive gold
boxes less elaborately ornamented than the preceding. A.
variety of smaller gold boxes, watches, and rings, were left
by his Majesty at the disposal of the Master of the House-
hold, the Hon. Mr. Murray, for presentation among the prin-
cipal domestics under his direction, while the munificent sum
of 2,0001. was given by the Emperor to be divided among .the
servants employed in the departments severally presided over
by the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, and the Master
of the Horse.
The Society for the Relief of Foreigners in Distress has
acknowledged A spontaneous contribution by the Emperor in
aid of the funds, of 1,000 guineas. A draught for that su►n
having been transmitted on Saturday last by Chevalier Bunk-
hausen to Mr. Labouchere, the Secretary of the Society.
THE NELSON TESTDIONIAL.—The Emperor having ascer-
tained that the funds for the erection of this national tribute
to our greatest naval hero were inadequate to its completion,
immediately directed Count Orloff to enclose a draught for
5001. to the Duke of Wellington. The draught was accom-
panied by a letter from the Count, written by command of
his Majesty, and expressive of the pleasure the EnTerur felt
in contributing towards the erection of a testimonial to so
great a warrior.
Tim WELLINGTON TESTIMONIAL.—This great work, which
has been so long in progress in Mr. Wyatt's studio, and
which is now rapidly approaching completion, was not for-
gotten by the Emperor. The funds, although large, are as
yet wholly inadequate to the magnitude of the work, and
Count Orloff was directed to enclose a draught similar in
amount to that contributed towards the Nelson monument
(5001.) to the Duke of Rutland, one of the most active mem-
bers of the Committee for its erection. The draught was ac-
companied by a note similar to the one addressed to the Duke
of Wellington.
THE ASCOT RACE FUND.--The Emperor's munificent con-
tribution towards the stakes annually run for at Ascot is
already well known. It is therellire only necessary to say in
"addition, that the prize will consist of a piece of plate of the
value of 5001., having engrave') on one side sonic subject illus-
trative of Russian history, and bearing the Imperial arms on.
the other.

THE POOR OF ST. GEORGE'S PARISII.—Not the least sea-
sonable act of benevolence on the part of the Emperor was
the presentation of 200 guineas to be divided among the poor
of St. George's parish, 'Westminster, at the discretion of the
Rector. The donation was accompanied by a letter to the
Rev. the Dean of Carlisle, the incumbent of St. George's,
which stated that his Majesty having resided a few days at
Ashburnham-house, felt gratified in offering a small sum for
distribution among the poor of the parish in which the man-
sion is situate, at the discretion of the Rector.
GERMAN HOSPITAL—Towards the formation of an hospital
for distressed Germans in London the Emperor contribtited
100 guineas.
THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY HOUSEHOLD.—Here, as at Buck-
ingham Palace, the Emperor left a munificent sum for dis-
tribution among the domestics, the maitre d'hotel, Mr. Pierce,
having the honour to receive from his Majesty a magnificent
diamond ring.
Colonel Rowan, Mr. Mayne, and Captain Hay, the Com-
missioners of Police, each received a diamond ring from the
Emperor in acknowledgment of the attention shown to his
convenience; and the various officials in the office of the
Consul-General, M. Benkhausen, were also presented with
similar tokens of the Emperor's liberality.
Captain Sir Francis Collier, who had the honour to steer
the barge which put the Emperor ashore, has been presented
with a handsome gold snuff-box, set with brilliants, and
bearing the Imperial initials in the Russian character on the
lid. Commander Smith, of the William and Mary yacht,
and Mr. Oliver Lang, the master shipwright of the dockyard,
have each received a splendid diamond ring; and 251. have
been distributed among the crew of Sir Francis Collier's barge,
the labourers who put the carriages and baggage on board
the Lightning steamer receiving 201. among them.

CONFLICT BETWEEN THIEVES AND THE PCILICEL
AT POLSTEAD.—At an early hour on Saturday morning Su-
perintendent English was on duty at Polstead, m hen he came
up with two notorious thieves, one of whom was carrying a
sack of flour. lie attempted to take them into custody,
when a violent struggle ensued, and one of the fellows pre-
sented a gun at the officer and threatened to shoot him. Oa
the same day. the prisoners, whose names are James Wright,
aged, 23, and Golden Stow, aged 20, underwent an examina-
tion at the Bull Inn, at Stoke by Nayland, before Sir Joshua
