An arrangement has been made byte Commissioners
of Chelsea Hospital, fot the payment of the Out-Pen-
sioners of that Hospital in future at Oxford-market,
instead of at Chelsea, as heretofore. For this purpose
the Cottimissioners hate taken a lease for seven years of
,the large Hall in the centre of the market, which has
been fitted up for the, above use, for which it is pecu-
liarly adapted, on account of its spaciousness, and also
as having four distinct entrances. The new place will
be broutht into operation for the first time to-morrow,
when the quarterly payment of the pensioners commences.
Many inquiries have been made as to the cause of
`death of the Lottery'. Ileums and Co. dank it a decided case of
Cunessesptiss, judging from the unprecedented eagerness with Which
