CHRIST'S HOSPITAL

_
Yesterday the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor Elect, several
of the Aldermen and the Common Council, Governors, and
the City officers, proceeded is their carriages to Christ's
Hospital, for the purpose of holding a court of all the royal
hospitals, to receive a corrected list of the governors cf the
hospitals, to be confirmed 'accordiog to ancient usage.
In consequence of the incorrectne.,s of the lists of governors
presented on St. Matthew's day to the Lord Mayor, his
Lordship refused to confirm them, and sent them back to
the hospital for revision. It had been particularly observed
that the authority of the Lord Mayor as the head of Christ's
Hospital, upon two recent occasions, was altogether denied
by the majority of the governors, viz., those governors who
do not derive their 60ns from a City of London enrpol ation
parentage. The subject was taken up by the Corporation
upon the presentation of the Lord Mayor's report of what
had occurred on St. Matthew's day at Christ's Hospita'., and
a resolution was adopted unanimously, after a high eulogium
upon the firm and judicious conduct of the Lord Mayor,
that his Lordship should be requested to send round to the
several hospitals for corrected lists, and to appoint a day to
receive theta.
It was generally understood that those who had denied
the authority of the chief magistrate as head of the royal
hospitals intended to close the doors of Christ's Hospital
against him and the other members of the Corporation, and
much interest was excited by the expectation that a row
would take place. The consequence of the non-contirma-
tion of the lists is, that the new governors are for the time
At about half-past two o'clock the governors of the several
royal hospitals began -to assemble, but on arriving at the
grand entrance in Newgate-street they found the doors
locked, and they were told that the entrance to the hos
pital was at Christ Church-passage. They proceeded to
that entrance, which leads to the court-room, and were on
the way met by Mr. Trollope, the clerk of the hospital, who
informed them, upon being told that they had been sum-
moned to attend a general court, that be had orders not to
admit them.
At three o'clock the af tendance became very numerous.
Precisely at that hour the Lord_Mayor, Aldermen, and mem-
bers of the Court of Common Council, who are governors,
arrived at the grand entrance, preceded by the City Marshals,
in their state dresses.
The bell was rung, and admittance- was formally demanded
for the Lord Mayor. Mr. Trollope then made his appe..:rance,
and read a paper, which stated that the Lord Mayor would
be allowed free access at all times to the hospital, but that his
Lordship must not be present at any meeting of Governors
not summoned by the President.
Mr. Firth, the deputy town-clerk, then read a formal de-
mand of admission, which not having been obeyed, the pro-
cession retired.
In the carriage with the Lord Mayor were Sergeant
Mereweather, the town-clerk; Mr. Hick, the sword bearer ;
and Mr. Beddow, the train bearer. In the next carriage
were the Lord Mayor Elect and Sir John Pirie, the president
of St. Thomas's Hospital; in the third were Sir George
Carroll and Alderman Wilson. These were followed by car-
riages in which were Aldermen Kelly, Sir Chapman Marshall,
Moon, Sidney, Hunter, &c. Among the members of the
Common Council (governors) were Mr. R. L. Jones, of Cripple-
gate Ward; Mr. George Bracher, of Coleman-street Ward;
11Ir. R. Taylor, of Farrmgdon-without Ward; Mr. Eagleton,
of Farringilon-within Ward; Mr. Prior, of Dowgate Ward;
Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Bedford, of Farringdon-without
Ward, &c &c.

The matter is to be immediately referred to a court of law,
and will in all probability lead to most imp,,rtant conse-
qtmces, in the opinion of many of the civic poiitici?ns.

A STRANGE, RACE,. -An American parr says
that a correspondence is now going on between two gentlemen of
Boston, which began ten years ago with a challenge. Mr. A., a
bachelor, challenged Mr. 8., a married men with one child, who
replied that the conditions were not equal, that be must necessarily
be at more risk with his life than the other, and he declined. A
year afterwards he received another challenge from Mr. A., who
stated that he too had now a wife and a child, and t o supposed,
therefore, the objection of Mr. B. no :onger vaid. W. B. re-
plied that lie had now two children, consequently the inequality
still subsisted. The next year Mr. A. renewed his challenge,
hawing now two children also, but his adversary had three. This
matter, when last heard of, was still going on, the numbers being
84 in PM, and the challenge rrarty renewed.

WINDSOR ELECTION.
WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—In consequence of
some of the military, doing duty at Windsor, having actively
canvassed for Colonel Reid, a letter, of which the following
is a copy, has been forwarded to the Horse Guards on the
subject :
"TO lIIS GRACE THE DUKE Or WELLINGTON, K. G. , COM-
MANDE R-IN-CIII RR, lIOIISE GUARDS, LONDON.
"My Lord Duke,—As an elector f Windsor, deeply in-
terested in the result of the forthcoming election, I take the
liberty of addressing your Grace (as the Commander-in.
Chief) for the purpose of complaining of the extraordinary,
indeed, I may say, unconstitutional interference of several of
the officers and non. commissioned officers in the 2cl Regi-
ment of Life Guards with the votes cif the electors.
" The regiment is stationed within the borough, and your
Grace will, I think, agree with me in opinion that, aithough-
the officer in command is one of the candidates to represent
Windsor, in the rooni of the late Mr. Ratesbottom, it forms
no pert of military duty for the officers and men to be en-
geged in actively canvassing. for votes.
" Amongst those holding her 'Majesty's commission in the
2d Regiment of Life Guards who have thought proper to
interfere with the free and independent votes of the elec-
tors, and who have privately as well as publicly attempted
to induce several of the Burgesses to promise their votes to
their commanding officer, are Lieutenant Bertie, Quarter-
master Allen, and Mr. F. W. G. Calder, Surgeon.
" I trust that, for the sake of strict military discipline
being preserved, and in order that no further efforts may be
made by the officers of the regiment to coerce the voters in
the exercise of the elective franchise, your Grace will take
such steps in the matter as may be considered expedient to
put a stop to the unseemly military interference of which I,
as an elector, leave a right to complain. Relying upon your
Grace's well-known courtesy to pardon this appeal to your
sense of justice, I have toe honour to be, my Lord Duke,
your Grace's most obedient, very humble servant.
" Windsor, Oct. 18, 1845."
The revision of the Windsor lists of voters for the borough,
and also for this division of the county, took place this after-
noon, in the Town-ball, before Charles S. Whitmore, Esq.,
the Revising Barrister. The whole business occupied less
than half an hour. The ten claims, on the county list,
were allowed. One new claim was made for the borough,
which was not objected to. There were no objections on
either list, except by overseers, in consequence of deaths and
removals.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Peverounr, Ocr.2l.—This morning, at 10 o'clock, her Mae
jesty's ship Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby, GB., (17th June,
1814), Commodore; the Albion, 92, Captain N. Lockyer;
Rodney, 9.4 Captain Collier; and Superb, 80, Captain Corry,
get under weigh in Plymouth Sound, and proceeded outside
the Breakwater, where they lay too for some time. These
ships were subsequently joined by the brig Daring, 12, Com-
mander H. J. Matson, and the Rattler steamer, and about
1 o'clock, the whole fleet proceeded down Channel with a
spanking breeze from the north, the wind having veered to
that point, from north-west in the morning. They carry the
red ensign, which signifies that they are under the especial
orders of the Lords t f the Admiralty.
Tne only ship now left in Plymouth which belonged to
the fine fleet composing the experimental squadron, is her
Majesty's ship the Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker.
She has discharged her gunpowder, and is now quietly
moored in the Sound, bearing the flag of Sir John West, the
gallant Port Admiral of this harbour.
Wooewicer, OcT. 21.—The Meteor steam-vessel, Lieute-
nant-Commander Bottler, left Woolwich this morning, at six
o'clock, to have her compasses adjusted at Greenhithe, and
will proceed to Plymouth and Cork, for service at the latter
station.
The Avon steam-vessel, Commander Denham, F.S.A., was
taken out of the inner to the outer basin yesterday, and to-day
into the river, preparatory. to her proceeding to an Mr lean
station. All her spare gear has been taken on board, and
every requisite for her important voyage. On the Bth inst.
the workmen on board the Avon left tine vessel at the usual
dinner hour, and a quautiiv of rum having just been taken
on board, a private in the Royal Marines atteched to her was
Lett in charge. On the return of the workmen, after being
absent about an bonr, no Royal Marine was to be found, and
the general impression was that he had taken that opportu
pity to desert. After waiting two days, a notice was tub
deserining his appearance, a!,,l cfrefiig a reward t f
fur ids apprehension. Notwithstanding every exertion
was mad-, no trace could be ol,tained of hint until yesterday,
when his body was found floating h the basin, but so sa ollen
and di-figured by having been so long in the water, that it
could Kamay be recognised by his corporal. The body was
removed in a shell to await a coroner's inquest.
The African steam-vessel arrived yesterday at Woolwich
with Captain Pratt, Lieutenant Meheux, Lieutenant Wylde,
2 sergeants, 2 corporals, 1 drummer, and 49 privates of the
Woolwich division of the 'loyal .Mari,,es, disembarked from
the Formidable, 81, recently rite flag-ship in the Mediterra-
nean, where they had served upwards of four years. The
non-commissioned officers and men are to be paid off to-
morrow at the dockyard. The band was in readiness to play
the party to the barracks on their arrival.
he Chelsea pensioners have bad excellent weather fur
their drill and exercises, which take place daily in the west
square of the Royal Artillery Barracks. The non-commissioned
officers and men look remarkably well in their new dress, and
go through their exercises with great precision after a few
hours' practice, although it is several years since many of
them handled a musket for duty. A great many of them are
small shopkeepers in and around Woolwich, and a few days'
exercise will not interfere to a great extent with their busi-
ness, which is managed by their better halves during their
absence.
SHEERESS, Ocr. 2l.—This morning's post brought the
promotion of Dr. John Grant. Stewart, R.N., who so nobly
volunteered his services on board the ill-fated Eclair, to the
rank of Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals; and also the pronto-
lion of Dr. William Rogers, Additional Assistant-Surgeon of
the Ocean, now convalescent from fever contracted on board
the Eclair, to the rank of Surgeon in the Navy. Dr. Coffey,
late Assistant-Surgeon of the Growler, who volunteered at
Madeira, has served the full time (three years) necessary to
qualify him -for promotion, but has not yet undergone the
necessary examinations. On his successfully passing these
he will also be promoted to the rank of Surgeon ; and well
this young gentleman deserves Iris promotion. As has
been said of his brother officer, Dr. Sidney Bernard,
who joined the Eclair with him at Madeira, but who
unfortunately fell a victim to the fatal epidemic the very
morning his promotion arrived here, " his duties, in their
ordinary execution, could only be performed at the risk of
his own life; in the present case they were accompanied by
exertions which aggravated the danger, but were never re-
laxed by apprehensions of the fatal events hourly occurring."
The Kroomen are still busy turning over the several stores of
the Eclair to the Griffon, under the superintendence of Com-
mander Harston. She will afterw arils be thoroughly cleansed
and fumigated. When that is completed all are to be ad-
mitted to pratique.
The Formidable, 84; was paid off this day.
The Dwarf steamer has been taken into the basin to under-
go some alterations.
The Juno, 26, Captain Blake, was discharged from the
basin yesterday, and is ordered to complete for sea with all
dispatch.
The Blenheim, 74, is to go to Blackwall to be fitted with
the screw-propeller.
From 20 to 30 labourers commenced digging the founda-
tions for the new fortifications .opposite the dockyard gate
yesterday. Mr. Hall, of Queenborough; has also the contreet
for these works. The repairs and alterations of the old works
are being carried on by the same gentleman with the greatest
vigour and alacrity.

Viscount and Vineountess Palmerston entertained
a select circle at dinner on Tuesday evening, at their residence, on
Carlton-house-terrace, the Earl and Countess Cowper, Lord
Ashley, Viscount and Viscountess .iocelyn, Hon. Spencer Cowper,
Mr. Greville, &c., being among tt e guests.
M. 'fillers, accoup.mied by Count Walewski, left
Mivart's Hotel, yesterday morning, at an early hour, for Paris.
We undeistai:d M. Tillers had a lengthened interview with
Viscount Palmerston on Tuesoa% afternoon, and was to have dined
with the Noble Viscount and Viscountess in the evening, who had
invited a select circle to meet the ex. French Premier; hut owing
to other engagements he was obliged to decline the pleasure.

ies EARL. us' Vl.Rui.ADt -1% t-• blippy it, heetr
that the Noble Earl was considered to have passed a favourab;e
night on Tuesday, and was yesterday rather better. There is but
little, if any, hope of the Noble Earl's Eventual recovery.

winter season.

MINERAL DISCOVERIES Ilsi AUSTRALIA.—New
covt Tics of copper have been mane at about two miles beyond the
light, and the pi-chat:le exit nt of the misiera!ir there will shortly
superinduce the occupation of the viduabl c„rn lands and pas-
turages comprised in the two special surveys inteyFected by the
river above-mentioned. A copper lode recently discovered on the
estate of Mr. A. Hallett, beyond O'Halloran-hill, has been suffi-
ciently examined, and is pronounced a moat valuable property.
Nor are these all the current discoveries. Messrs. Phitcox and
Campbell have purchased a section near Willunga, on which a cop-
per lode has been laid bare to the extent of about eight fathoms,
the quality of the ore being such as can be pronounced upon " at

sight." We are almost tired of hearing about manganese; if all
the reports are true (and we see no reason to doubt them), the de-
posits of this useful mineral are obviously great, if nut inexhaus-
tible.—Adelaide Cbserver, May 3.
STREET CLEANIANESs.—The following notification,
issued at the beginning of the present month, by the Prcfet de
Police of the French capital, will show what attention is paid to
these matters by the French authorities. The ordonnance begins
by stating, that the sweeping of the public thoroughfares has to
takeplace from the Ist of October to the 31st of March, between
seven and eight a.m., and at no other time. The footways are to
be scraped, swept, and washed ; and the conduits to be kept free
from all impediment for the efflux of water, &c. After sorr.e other
points of usual purport, the Paris authorities say :—" For the sake
of reforming the habits so contrary to cleanliness am.d decency,
the administration has authorised or caused the construction of
urinals in several public thoroughfares, especially on the Place de
la Concorde, the Boulevards, and many of the quays.—The
Builder. _ _

LUNATIC ASYLUMS.—By the Lunacy Act, of last
session, the several counties in England are to erect, cr to join
with neighbouring counties in erecting, asylums for lunatics, which
asylums are to be visited by the magistracy several times in a year.
In the event of non-compliance in an erection, Government will
order the buildings to be commenced.

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE IN GREENWICH PARE.
—Yesterday afternoon a lady and two children came down from
London by the steam.boat, and proceeded to the Park for recrea.
tion. A short time afterwards one of the children ran towards the
deer, and held an apple for one of them to eat. A buck made up
to the child and snapped at the apple, when the sharp-pointed horn
of the animal perforated the upper lip of the little innocent, and
divided it from the nostril to the side of its mouth. Tht bleed.
ing and screams of the child drove the parent into a state of great
anguish. Police.constable George Pritchard, 133 R, being on
duty in the park, ran to the spot and rendertd his best assistance;
he carried the b:eetling sufferer, accompanied by the parent and
the second child, to the surgery of Dr. Gay Shute, in Bexley-place,
Greenwich. Mr Shute, after stopping the bleeding, carefully
sewed the lip together and the lady, with her two children, then
proceeded to town by the railway, greatly distressed at the unfor.
tur.ate event.
