THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL. To the Editor of the "CHINA MAIL."
Hongkong, March 26, 1878. Sir,-The above Hospital seems to be, having something to do intely. On the evening of the 19th instant you took noties of an inquest held on the body of a coolle, who was injured by an explosion on board of a junk on Sunday the 17th instant.
Again on Monday evening another in quest is reported on the body of a coolle who seems to have passed through the mill at the Tung Wah 11ospital. He met with bis accident on the 28th February, via: having his left leg fractured: no particulars are given the coolie however dies on the morning of the 25th,
The verdict in both cases was death from accident.
Now, Mr Editor, do you not think it is bigh time, that the Tang Wah Hospital should be put under the Superintendence or at least visited dally by a Surgeon ap- pointed for that purpose 7 The Committee might not like such supervision, even the patients themselves might object to see a European Surgeon amongst them; but from what I know of the practice of Surgery amongst the Chinese, I think the death rate might be lessened through such supervision. Some arrangement Bke the above cannot be made too soon the liability to accident in such a busy harbour as oura amongst the goolles is very great. I am suro H.. the Governor would do a great kindness to the Chinese poorer-class were he to insist on European inspection of the Tung Wah Hospital.-Yours

The Agence Russe statos that it is prob, able that the meeting of the Powers will take the form of a Conference. The Turks are becoming more recalcitrant in regard to the peace negotiations.
The same paper says the Russians must approach nearer to Constantinople if the British fleet remain in the Sea of Marmora The withdrawal of the fleet to Besika would, however, solve the difficulty.

New York, February 20-A despatch from Rome says: The Conclave has been in session since Monday evening, and, as only two ballota dally have been taken, Cardinal Pecel was chosen on the third ballot. The moderates hesitated between Cardinals Franchi and Pecci, but the conflicting elements became harmonized and the result was the election of the latter. The an- nouncement to the people was made with the prescribed formalities and ceremonies from the Vatican, and created intense ex- eltement, although it had been accepted as a foregone conclusion that an Italian Cardinal would be the cholas of the Con- alava,
