QUEEN-SQUARE.

Two old men, named Haley and Fielder, inmates of St.
Margaret's Workhouse, were charged by Mr. Ellott, the
Master, with being drunk and disorderly in the house on Sa-
turday afternoon. It appeared that the two men hadbeen at
work a short distance from the workhouse, and returned in a
beastly state of intoxication, and used abusive language.
They were committed for seven days.
John Ices, a young man, was charged, on suspicion, with
stealing 6/. from his late employer.
Mr. Samuel Smith, a carrier residing in Regent-street,
Chelsea, said that the prisoner was in his employment about
six weeks ago, but had been occasionally employed since.
On Saturday week he•found that a drawer in which he kept
his money had been forced open, and 6/. abstracted.
A labourer said he was going home on the night on which
the robbery was alleged to have taken place, and having
stopped to count Ills money, the prisoner, with whom he
was slightly acquainted, came up and asked for change of
half a sovereign, which witness gave him. The prisoner
then asked him to take care of a sovereign and a half
sovereign until the following Monday, which he did; but
the prisoner came on the Sunday night and asked for it. He
said he received the money from his grandfather.
The further hearing of the case was adjourned to obtain
the attendance of a witness. The prisoner was accordingly
remanded.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION.—On Sunday morn-
ing, the Reverend Prelates the Lord Bishops of Chester and
Worcester, preached sermons on behalf of the above insti-
tution, the former at St. Saviour's Church., Hans-place, Upper
Chelsea, and the latter at Eaton Chapel, Eaton-square, Pim-
lico. The committee of this excellent charity are making
strenuous efforts to raise the funds necessary for the building
of the new hospital, to be erected at Brompton, fronting on
the Fulham road ; the first stone of which will be laid by his
Royal Highness Prince Albert in the early part of next June.
The present building is situated at Chelsea, but from its
limited size has been found totally inadequate for the re-
ception of the hundreds of applicants who daily crowd its gates
for admission. Since its formation in September, 1842, the
number of in-patients have been abofit 150, add 1,500 out-
patients have received medical relief. There is no other
existing hospital which will receive the numerous class of
patients suffering under pulmonary consumption, in eons,-
quence of the lingering and almost certain fatality of the'.
disease ; whilst elaborate statistical tables show that more
than 72,000 persons are now constantly suffering from con-
sumption. The intended new hospital will be built to ac-
commodate about 200 patients. Both places of worship in
which the Rev. Prelates preached were well attended, and
after Divine service, collections were made in aid of the funds.
Herr Ernst, the eminent violinist, will play at
Messrs. Macfarren and Davison's first Chamber Concert,
which will take place on Friday evening next, at the Prin-
cess's Theatre Concert-room. The selection of music upon
this occasion includes several classical works of the highest
merit ; and the undertaking, therefore, merits the encourage-
ment of all educated and rational amateurs.
