Spitalfields, Shoreditch, Bethaal -. Gre...
Spitalfields , Shoreditch , Bethaal -. green , White chapel , Sec—places whose names are almost sv " nonymous with poverty and disease , and where Ate generated those unhealthy influenc es , arising froi overcrowded and ill-provided habitations , which render the advantages offered by such a charity aa this a paramount necessity to the surrounding population . ' * We trust that this cry for help may be amply responded . to . .. It is well known that the wealthy city we inhabit has smaller hospital accommodation for the poor than . any continental capital This is a disgrace which ought speedily to be wiped out . Scientific AM ^ gBHENTs in Paris . —The facetious Paris correspondent of a contemporary describes a sitting of the Acadcmie des Sciences :- — " The first memoir presented on this occasion was read by ~ NL . Arambert , and sought to prove that the thirty-two phrenological organs admitted by Gall might be reduced to fourteen . The second , by M . de VIHeneuve , startled the dreamers by declaring that the lower jaw when extirpated by the ineans indicated in the memoir would grow again and be as good as ever ! The third , presented by a nameless savant , tended to refute the popular error concerning that infirmity of " singing in the ears , " which is so liable to attack students and sedentary people . The savant declared quite snappishly that this malady was occasioned neither by the excitement of the nerves , nor the agitation of the blood ..
as was generally believed , nor indeed by any of the causes to which it had hitherto been attributed , but at the same time owned that lie had not been able to discover the real foundation of the disease . He therefore sat down amidst great applause . But the bouquet of the seance was certainly that offered by M . Boussingault , in the shape of certain specimens of soil containing particles of , nitre , and found in the ; " impenetrable forests of America" ( sic These , of course , were examined with the greatest interest , as wellthey might be . At last came M . Grimaud witli a tSvelve days' method of curing cancer . As the description appeared to last as long as the cure , it A \ as abruptly voted , during a paiise , that some restraint must be placed upon the loquacious powers of the Academie , and the motion was carried amidst unanimous satisfaction . " Pleasures ov Campaigning . —A letter from the seat of war in Italy , contains the following : — People are longing for the sun as an ardent lover longs for the kiss of his mistress . The Piedmontese soldiers would give almost anything , I believej if they might for a brief period be allowed to carry an umbrella instead of a musket ; and if their generals were to say to them , " Fight like lions , " they would be tempted to reply , " How can we , when we x * esemble nothing so much as a parcel of ducks ?" Thus just now the most terrible enemies in the field are colds and coughs . The whole array is every instant using its pocket handkerchief , and sneezing violently . Those who are sheltered in fortresses or in towns are better pleased to stand by fire
than under fire , and they take more delight in munching chestnuts than in nibbling at their cartridges . But the poor fellows who are under canvas deplore their watery fato , and wish Louis Napoleon , Victor Emmanuel , the independence of Italy , and even glory itself , buried nine fathoms deep in obliviousness . Tlwy would willingly exchange all the fame of Napoleon I . or Wellington , if they had it , for a pair of wanu shoos or a ulgutcap . The Austrians , on the ir side , pass a dreary tiuie of it , although living at tho expense ot their enemies ; aud if they did not amuse themselves oy occasionally burning a house , or stoahng an oxtrom M . le Cure , with his blessing along with it , tnoy would find the time pass very heavily upon tncir
hands .

It appears that tho club . y cccn «/ held a meeting in the Cooper Institute , witn mm . Johnson ' us presiding divinity , and Mrs . * f » as recording angel .

; Begging Letters . —The report of the . Mendicity Society contains some singular specimens of impudent imposture . The wife of a clergyman , whoso name appears in the Clergy . List as having livings estimated at 365 / . a year , endeavoured to obtain private relief by wr iting begging letters , stating that her husband ' s income is only 80 Z . a year . Her letters have at various times beezi sent to the society for investigation , and the clergyman admits that his income is greater than his wife had stated it to bo , but does not deny that tho applications have been made with his consent . Another ' applicant was found to be in possession of a house and seven acres of land , a pension of 9 d . a-drty , and not at all in want of relief . Numerous applications were professing to come from tho wife of Antonio de lludio . The writer ' professed to be in the greatest destitution , and to apply : for the means to enable her to go to Paris , to take a last farewell of her husband . This touching appeal was found , on inquiry , to have been forged by a man who has long been known to tho society , under vavipus nanies , and who has attempted to impose upon her Majesty . The Kev . Charles Greary long and most successfully practised on the credulity of the benevolent , and raised subscriptions to a large amount , nominally for the assistance of that most deserving class , the " indigent sempstresses . " It is to bo regretted that the summary proceedings taken against him only admitted of his being sent to prison for three months to hard labour , Metropolitan Free IIosriTAi / . n—The committee of this excellent institution ( situated in Devonshiresquare , Blahopegate ) have issued nn appeal to the benevolent , from which the following is an extract ; -- •? The hospital is opon to the sick poor of all creeds and countries , without the troublesome , and too often prejudicial , impediment of a governor ' s letter of recommendation ; aud the number of daily attendances amounted lust year , in the aggregate , to 58 , 511 , It is situated close to the most destitute and populous districts of the metropolis—viz ; .,
machines , cooking by gas , manners , and a col ogo domestic economy . There was also a sensible w » business-like discussion In regard to tho ordinary mode of procuring domestics , and some 6 ™ " abuses connected with tho intelligence-office systemi wore exposed ; and it was made to appear that fc im » become as necessary as a'moans of Be'f-l ^ 0 ;^" t 0 or for oorvants to d 6 mand reference jvs to charftcwr from those who wish to employ them , as ioi - »»« mistresses to require references of those who « UW for situations , — --.
