HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST: instituted 1642; incorporated 1850.—The Commatee of Management have the pleasure to announce that His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND, the presidert of the Institution, has kindly consented to take the ehali 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 1846, no less than 3,295 in patients and 28.300 out•patients have been treated, and In many instances the disease has been successfully overcome; that. so great is the demand for admission, the names of 165 persons, upon an average, are always upon the books as unable:o be taken in for want of room ; that this paiiifid 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, avast 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. 10s. constitutes a Lite Governor, and an annual subscription of 31.35. a Governor. . .
