We have authority to state that a British Consul
has been appointed for Manilla, and that he will proceed to
his destination by the July mail ; and also that arrangements
have been made, which take effect immediately after the
arrival of that mail in the east, under which there will be in
the three ports of Java to which foreign vessels have access
—namely, Batavia, Samarang, and Sourabaya—persons duly
authorised to certify the origin of Java sugar in the manner
required by the Sugar Duties Bill now before the House of
Lords.—Times.

We understand, from the best authority, that should
Ministers be in a minority to-night, or only have a small ma-
jority on Mr. Duncombe s motion, referred to at length in
another article, they will resign to-morrow. They have written
to all their supporters, entreating in the most urgent manner
their presence at the division of to-night, and intimating, in
terms not to be misunderstood, the consequences of a defeat.
We trust that this will only have the elect of insuring an
unusual muster of Members on the Opposition side of the
House.—Morning Advertiser.
THE NEW HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST
AND CONSUMPTION.—The first wing of this truly noble
institution, of which his Royal Highness Prince Albert
laid the foundation stone on the 11th ultimo, is now ra-
pidly in progress. The building is so planned, as by
successive additions to accommodate from one hundred
to two hundred and fifty persons of both sexes. The
interior arrangements having, after very mature delibe-
ration, been adopted by the medical officers, and approved
of by gentlemen of experience in such matters, it is ex-
pected that the new Hospital will offer facilities fur
treating consumption which no other institution pos-
sesses. In the warming and ventilation, the heat or
temperature will be made to approximate to different
climates, and the atmosphere of particular apartments will
be impregnated with various gases and vapours. A very
beautiful chapel, designed by the same highly-gifted ar-
chitect, Frederick John Francis, Esq., will be attached
to the Hospital, and it is trusted that, by the means of
the promised patronage and support, the whole building
may be completed in the space of two or three years. It
will then stand among the proudest of our metropolitan
charities.
Our sporting readers will be glad to learn that Mr.
Baily has engaged Mr. J. F. Herring, sen., to paint a
portrait of Orlando, the winner of the Derby Stakes,
1844, the subject of the important case in the Court of
Exchequer, which was yesterday brought to a conclu-
sion. We have no doubt, from the happy manner in
which that gentleman has brought out the portraits of
several winning horses, that Orlando will sustain the
character of both Mr. Herring and Mr. Baily.
We regret to state that Joshua Scholefield, Esq.,
one of the representatives for this borough, is labouring
under severe mdisposition.—Birminyham Gazette.
