MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.

The centenary festival of•the hospital, was celebrated on
Thursday by a dinner, given at Willis's-Rooms, St. James's-
street, previous to which a sermon was preached at All Souls'
Church, 'St. Marylebone, by the Lord Bishop of London.
Upwards of 300 gentlemen afterwards sat down to dinner;
among others were-Lord Dartmouth Lord Robert Gros-
venor, Lord Aylmer, Lord Harvey, ford Teignmouth, Sir
Thomas Herbert, Bishop of Llandaff, Dean of Chichester,
John Astell, Esq., W. Astell, Esq., M.P., 8.-B. Cabhell, Esq.,
Captain Fremantle,) Dr. Penfold, M. Pepys, Esq., J. M.
Arnott, Esq., and many 'other distinguished professional gen-
tlemen. Lord Prudhoe presided, at the special request, and
as the representative of the Duke of Norttunberlaud.
After the usual loyal toasts, .
The CHAIRMAN proposed the' health of the President of
the institution, the Duke of Northumberland, who very
much regretted his inability to attend that day.-(Applause.)
Glee-" A generous friendship no cold medium knows."
The CHAIRMAN then said he bacl,to propose to them the
toast of the evening, " The Middlesex Hospital, and success
to- it." He much regretted that. their President was unable
to preside, as he must have fulfilled the duties of the chair
in a 'much more efficient manner; he would, however, throw
himself upon thR generous feelings. eft the company. The
hospital, is might be seen from the report, was of an exten-
sive nattire and required extensive funds to support it. It.
was -a.charitv that blessed-him who gave and him who re-
ceived.(Clieers.) It was not established merel-r for the re-
ception. pftick persons,. but patients who were already con.-
valsecent were retained Within-its wallS until they had per-
fectly. .recovered their health, and were enabled to' return
to their daily labour with renewed strength, and with thank-
ful feelings towards those who had enabled them so to do.
Lord DARTMOUTH proposed the health of the Chairman,
which he shortly acknowledged ; and proposed the health of
the Vice- Presidents, coupling with the toast the name of
Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., who returned thanks.
The Treasurer's reportwas then read. Among the subsc4::

hour.

THE COAL TRADE.—NEWCASTLE, TUESDAY.—The
regulations so long established by the coalowners of the north
of England, in respect to the supply of coal to the London
Market, are now at an end, and henceforth the inhabitants
of the metropolis may expect to be supplied with that indis-
pensable article of domestic use on more reasonable terms
than formerly. The circumstances out of which this state
of things has arisen are manifold, but confined chiefly to the
trade itself. Many of the large coalowners having refused
to bind themselves to the proposed conditions, which have
been some time under revisal by the Coal-Trade Committee,
after several meetings, and much discussion, the Committee
determined this day to leave the trade open.
CAB STATISTICS.--According to a late return,
there are in the metropolis 130 cab-stands, and 8,592 cab-
men, conductors, and watermen, being an increase of 244
beyond those similarly engaged last year. It appears that
during the past two years a decided reformation has
taken place amongst those hardworking men, many of whom
are regular attendants at a place of worship on Sundays,
while others, from an anxiety to improve their mind, attend
a school opened especially for them. Some have even given
up driving cabs on Sundays, in order that they may keep
holy the Sabbath.
