In order, therefore, to ream the continued emir'. • tenance and fupport of an enlightened and benevolent public, it is hoped nothing more needs be limed than during a very fhort pa ri-d, by the bleffing of Pam IDICKCE on this inithurion, the lamp of Reafun has been re ki , lled in the darkened and bewildered minds of more tl.an t2O of our fellow creatures. By Which means they have been in. he vi d from the molt deplorable of all the vifitations to which our common nature is liable, and have been reftored to the public, ufeful members of friday, and to their families and friends,in fafety and comfort. There are at prefent in the houfe 32 other patients, many of whom are far advanced in their reco very ; and now that the new buildings are completed, there is am- , pie accommodation in the whole for upwards of fifty. The three gardens and three airing grounds, furrounded by walls, coafift of feveral acres. and the fituation is one of the molt falubrious in this part of the ifland It is an inereafed fourcc of confaious fatisfadtion to thecondndlors of this inititution to find, by the applications they have received for its plan and regulations, that its fuccefs and reputation have given encouragement to feveral fimilar cftablifh memo, which have been recently undertaken, or are about to be attempted, in different parts of England and Scotland. On account of its local fituation, this afyluva is peculiarly calculated for the four wettern counties,butp •tientsare admitted lute it on very carp terms proportioned to their ranks in life, from any part of the kingdom. ['his court will only add, and they dare it with the highelt fatif• fadtion, they have good grounds for believing, that, in this Intlitu tion, the number of patients reftored to the enjoyment of reafon, An proportion to the nunaher admitted, has much furpaffed that of any futular eftahlithment. SAMUEL FREDERICK MILFORD, Pcefident. TO THE IN AND THE CITY OF HABITANTS OF THE CANTERBURY F KENT, APERIOD of Forty Years has nearly elapfed from the firit Publication of the KENTISH GAZETTE. Formed at its commencement by the arduous and perfevering Induftry of its late Proprietor, it acquired a character for fame and conic quence till then unknown in a Provincial Print—Supported by the generous and loitering hand of the Puhlic, it has fince maintained that charader notwithitanding its many campetitors, in the fulleft extent. Our talk. therefore, comparatively light with that of its ellabliffintect, will he to continue the fame exertions for Its future conduct, and in confequence to hope a fimilar patronage. To recall to the recolledtion of the Inhabitants of Kcnt,the Rate of its trade, intercourfe, and located. at the above pc:Riad, is but to look to its prefent Rate, and the general improvement of the kingdom.—Various caufes have doubtl;fs operated to produce this general profprrity ; but in no raped has the public mind been more enlightened, than in the diffufion of fcience by means of the public prints—from this caufe may he dednced the extenfion of trade,and improvement of agriculture; the expanfion of intact% and acquirement of knowledge, and ths refinement of manners and melioration of morals.—.Thofe who remember the Rate of the prefs in this county at the period above alluded to, will there fore judge what (bare the Kentifh Gazette has 1144 in producing this good. A provincial newfpaper cannot indeed lay claim to priority of intelligence fuperior ;o that of the London prints, and it would be intuiting the good !cow of the public to aflame it ; but to utility it may arrogate a right ; it is the great vehicle of information of the bufiads of the county, the record of its events, and the reglfter of the common concerns of its inhabitants. It is calculated for the grrat mars of its population, and, by a judicious feledion of intelli gence, and olifervations, applicable to every man's bufinefs and bo• Com, may be made inftrumental to the belt of purpafes. A Newfpaper thus concluded, will prefent a regular and well digefted deuil of whatever is interefting in the p.ditical, comrner. cial, and monsl world; a full and faithful report of the Rate of the markets of corn, hops, hay, cattle, and coals; and, from its extenfive circulation, will give the utmoft facility and advantage to thofe advertifers whole intcrefts are required to he made public. Having premifed thus much of the duties of this arduous un dertaking, we feel it a matter of moment to Rate the principles by which the Kentifh Gazette will continue to be guidcd.—ln po litics, with all honeft men, there can be no fcbifm, we prorels and hope to maintain an unqualified veneration for the Conititution or our Country, both in church and Rate, as eftahlilhed by law and co nfirmed by experience—we know of no medium, of no pan; but our country; the Minifter of the day, be he whom he will, if he ads for the general good, will have our voice, if on CI, contrary, our decided oppofitiot, ; but in no cafe will we &viten the juft boundary which marks the line of diftiatten between berty and licentioufnefs—we make it no queftioh of prudence to firpport the eitabliftted Govemment.-If, therefore, we err, we (hall err on that fide. In foliciting the future protedion of the Public to the KEN TISH GAZETTE, we bcg alio to requeft a continuance of that patronage which has hitherto been given to the other parts of the bufinefs of the late JAMES SIMMONS, in the various branehes of a Frinter,Stationer, Bookfeller and Bookbinder. On the fup. port of the Public we have no claim hut by our deferts—a period, in no one of us, of Ids than twenty years of finitude, in which we have each had no (null (hare in concluding the above branches, has, we truft. without any arrogant pretenfions, given u s (Iv . rience. We fubmit ourfelves, therefore, to the Public protedion, in the confidence that although we cannot " COMMAND" Needs, yet it than be as much our Rudy, as our duty '• to osssava it."
