The public hospitals of London are
in wretched condition. The Metro
politan free hospital has recently been
investigated" The buildings are old
and rickety, unfit in every respect for
the purposes of hospital. The wards
are small and badly furnished. Tie
rooms are insufficient and very dirty !;
the hygiene Of the hospital is frequently
disregarded ;ehe nurses are inferior,
untidy, and are badly paid.
List is suffering severely from drop
sy. He has promised to leave one half
Of his fortune TO the church, and to
compose only sacred music in future.
The New York Sun gives the snob-
blsh and increasing custom of Keeping
privatesecretaries this severe cut: "rhe
practice for nearly everybody to keep
them has been introduced along with
the Grecian bend and the Roman wrig-
gle. We wonder that the busiest boot
blacks do not keep private secretaries.
They have so much to do, and their
hands are so black it must be incon-
venient for them to carry on their own
correspondence"
In order TO keep his private fortune
secret, the late Ba ON Rothschild open
ed accounts with Fictitious creditors, to
whom he would pay millions on mil
lions regularly.

January 4th, 1859.
DEAR SIR, KNOWING that you desire
TO be posted up in relation to accidents
that occur in your own County, espe-
cially, beg leave to inform you of one
of u grave character which has Just
occurred In our village. A young lad
by the name Of Clarence Rupsr son of
Lewis Ruper, about ten years of age,
was found just at dark, near his fathers
dwelling, He was carried to the house
literally covered with blood, and WIN
it was washed from his face, frightful
wound was discovered upon his face,
commencing at the upper portion of the
forehead, extending in direct line to
the cartilage of the nose, then at O right
angle entirely across the cheek bone.
The lower part of the frontal bone, in
the inner corner ofthe eye was crushed
in, together with the lateral bones of
the nose, were driven into the cavity
OF the nostrils. The cheek bone was
laid bare, also the frontal bone. Profuse
hemorrhags followed, which was diff.
iicult to control. He vomited n large
quantity of blood which must have
passed into the nostrils and thence into
the stomach. No satisfactory account
can be given in relation to the cause u
the accident. The most remarkable
by horses and then trampled upon
Appearances TO day are more favora
bic than could have been anticipated
Yours, truly, E.D.W.
