SATURDAY, HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST: instituted Iola; incorporated 1850.—The Committee of Management have the pleasure to announce that His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND, the president of the Institution, has kindly consented to take the °hail at the FESTIVAL to be held in Commemoration of the Opening of the New Wing, on Wednesday, the 9th of May next, in Willis's Rooms, St. James's. The Committee, in expressing their earnest hope that upon this occasion the friends of this charity will give their influential sup port and attendance, beg to notice, that thirteen years ago there was no Hospital for Consumption, nor any shelter to be found for the victims of a national disease ; that since the opening of the first portion of the new building in 1R46, no less than 3,295 in patients and 28,306 out-patients have been treated, and in many instances the disease has been successfully overcome; that.so great le the demand for admission, the names of 165 persons, upon an average, are always upon the books as unable to be taken in for want of room ; that this.painful circumstance, continually pressing itself upon the notice of the Committee, has determined them, in full reliance upon the necessary increase of public support, to throw open in the course of a few weeks the whole of the new wing, which will accommodate 130 additional patients; that, in taking this decided step, a vast addition of responsibility is about to be incurred, and upon this ground the Committee earnestly appeal for kind and special consideration at the pre sent very important period in the history of the Charity. A donation of 311. 108. constitutes a Life Governor, and an annual subscription of 31.35. a Governor. Subscriptions and donations in aid of this Charity are received by the following bankers :—Barclay and Co.; Cocks, Biddulph, and Co.; Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co.; Glyn, Halilts', Mills and Co. ; Hankey and Co.; Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Ransom and Co.; Williams, Deacon and Co.; and also by F. and J.

Those in health and affluence are most respectfully informed that there are many of their fellow-creatures languishing in poverty unheeded, and suffering under the most painful and de structive malady to which the human frame i■ liable. This Hospital has now been in operation nearly four years; 852 cases have come under treatment, and it is most gratiflying to an nounce that extensive benefits have been effected. Generous diet, expensive medicines, and maintenance of the Charity, in and out of London. entail heavier expenses upon the Committee than they are able to meet, more particularly now, when the stream of public benevolence is directed to the Patriotic Fund. Subscriptions, therefore, are earnestly entreated, and will be re ceived by the above gentlemen, as also the London booksellers, Messrs. Rivington, Hatchards, and Nisbets. By order, W. J.
