It is surrounded by a capacious garden. with broad terrace walks for the patients, which are thoroughly well drained. The Committee of Management, in pointing to the completion of the building as the accomplishment of an object which occupied many years of unceasing labour and anxiety, more earnestly than ever solicit the continuance of that interest, so strenuously put forth to rear the edifice, to carry it on in its present exten sive usefulness. The whole of the wards being thrown open, patients can now be admitted in a few days after they are passed as fit cases; but in effecting this long-desirel facility the expen- diture is, with the most careful management, increased to about 8,0101. per annum. To meet so heavy a responsibility is a matter of intense solicitude ; and the Committee feel it more than ever incumbent upon them to APPEAL to an intelligent and bene volent public, reminding them that the title of which English men may well be proud—" Supported by voluntary contributions " —is still applicable to this charity, and constitutes its sole en• dowment.
