March 3, 1807. THE GOVERNORS of the LONDON HOS. PITAL find thenifclves called upon to intereft the Public in general in favour of this meritorious Eitablifhment of Charity.and hope to experience the liberal fupport which the Caufe of the Poor and Afflided requires at this time. The Hofpital is a fyacions and convenient Building, well adapt ed to fulfil the intention of the benevolent Founders, containing Eighteen Wards, capable of receiving nearly Four Hundred Pa• titnts: only Seven Wards can be opened, on account of the low ftate of the Funds of the Houfe. Frem the Reports of the Phyficiars sts , l Surgeons it appears, that on every day appointed for the admillion of l'atients, numbers of diftreffcd Objeds apply, whom the Attending Committ, e are obliged to ref ; they can hied only the moil urgent cafes—forty nine sufferable Perfons were fent away in the bit week only—of there many Inuit fink prematurely vidlims to the Sicknefs or llif care under which they labour. This Inflitution is fituated in the midft of a molt populous Neighbourhood, in which the Poor are very numerous, and opu lent Refidents but few ; on a high road of great traffic ; and in the diftridt of the Seafaring part of the community, where appli cations for relief in their many Cafualties are enrtinhal ; and moft particularly require and deferve attention and affittance. Unfor tunate Sufferers are received at any hour of the day or night with out other recommendation than their neceffity and diftrefs. The interior arrangement is concluded on the molt humane and judi cious plan. The additional expenec of opening ALL the Wards, which would be produdive of fuch incalcu'able benefits to the Poor, and advantage to the Public, will be (mall, compared with that attending any new Inflituti.m. The Building is complete ; the feveral Officers and Attendants are appointed ; and except in the particular of Maintenance, little more than 'the prcfent ex pellees will • incurred by the relief of nearly two hundred and fifty additional Patients. The Public at large benefits greatly from there ufeful Ellabliffi rnents. They are the principal Schools for the formation of Sur geon‘, and the belt for Medical Pranitioners, fo neceffary to the Army and Navy, where the want of a (efficient number of fkilful and well pradifed Prof. ffors has long been feverely felt. Whet the Govetnors retied on•the advantages to be ((cured by an affillance fufficient for the permanent endowment of this Cha rity, and confider the generous compaffion prevalent in all dares, they feel a confidence that every individual, and many Public Bo • thes, will be happy to contribute in their degree to this pious and tifeful work, and that the Metropolis will livid forth on this, as on to many other occafions, a glorious maniple of ufelol ber•.eficence. Every benefadiud, however fmall the amount, will he molt thankfully accepted fur the Hofpital. Subfcriptions are ret eived by the Treafurer, H. H.

Dr. Motherby's Medical Dictionary has Rood the teR of time, five large editions having been fold in about twenty years; but the declining health of the author and his fueceffor prevented them from paying due attention to the numerous improvements in dif ferent branches of the Science ; and, on a careful revifal of the Didtionary, fo much was to be added or omitted; fo many changes and modifications of former opinions had occurred, that it has be come a new work. It merited, therefore, a new title. It is now offered to the world as a Complete View of Modern Opinions and Modern Pradlice in every branch of the Prufeffion.

Ordered. Lord HOWICK alfo moved, that the Houfc fhould he called over on Tuefday next, and that the names of the defaulters to-day, mould be then read over. CATHOLICS. Lord HOWICK role for the propofe, he raid, of bringing in a Bill, purfuant to the notice he had given, for fecuring to all claffes of his hiajeny's fubj:as the privilege of ferving in the Navy and Army, and the free exercife of their religion while therein employed. The only condition which he fhould propofe to be an nexed to this, was the fecurity of an oath; and thus pro. Ceded, he could not imagine that any objeftions could be made to the meafure he intended to fubmit to the Houfe. The objeft of the Bill, in fhort, which he meant to propofe, was to unite the whole of the Em pire in its defence, and to prevent any portion of its population from being excluded from that honourable pi ivilege, at a time when we were liable to be attacked by a Power which had overwhelmed the greaten part of Europe. It was not his bufinefs or intention, at prefent, to difcufs the propriety of the laws which ex• eluded numerous claffes of the fubjeas of this realm from cer Lain places of truft and profit, or to queftit n the right of every Government to enaft fuch laws.— The fajta would always be a que Ilion of expediency. It was generally fuppofed that religious and political opinions were identified with each other, and it was upon this minakennotion that the principle of exc'uti n had been fo long jutlified. If, however, it fhould be found that this identification of religious and political opinion had long fince ceafed to exin, he trulled the Houfe would agree with him that it was time the re firiftion ta which the exiftence or fufpicion of it had given rife, fhould be done away. If what he Mated fhould be made out to the fatisfation of the Honk, as he trufted it would, this confequence would fol low, that it would be highly unjuft to exclude the Catholics of Ireland and England, who ccoftituted one-fourth of the population of the empire, from the privilege of ferving it. He was relieved from much of the tififficulty incidental to this fubje:t, by circant (lances which he would (tate to the Houfe. A ma jority of the Army and Navy, and particularly of the latter, was at this very moment compofed of. Catholics. At this moment, too, by a law paired in the frith Parliament, in 1793, Catholics have a pri vilege of holding Commiffions in that country. The objet of the Bill which he meant to propofe was, to extend this privilege generally, and to perfons of all religious perfuafions, fubjeft to the oath which he fhould annex to it. The attention of his Majefty's Government was firft drawn to this fubjeil, by the extreme hardfhip of the cafe, and the ft range ano maly of law having force in one part of the Em pire, which was not recognized in the other. By the Aft of 1793, perfons of the Catholic perfuafion were at liberty to enter into the army, to advar/ce and obtain rank in it, fubjea only to the following reftriaions : that they could neither fill the office of Commander in Chief, Mailer General of the Ordnance, or General on the Staff. To all other military employments and offices whatever they were eligible. This Aft gave rife to one of the muft [kik ing incongruities which could occur in any country. By this Aft, an officer could head his battalion or regiment in Ireland, but if an invafion of this coun try, a reb:llion, or any other circumftance, fhould render it neceffary for him to come to this country, the moment that he fet his foot on Br itifh ground he became difqualified ; he mull either renounce his pro feffion and his rank, the fcanty remuneration for hard and vati.ms fervice, or remain in it, lubjea to the anxiety and uneafinefs to which he mutt continue expofed as long as the prefent prohibitory law was in (wee. He was perfuaded that he had only to men. tion this difficulty to the Houfe to induce it to cor rea the inconvenience produced by it. This abfur dity was ftrongiy felt in Ireland at the time, and the then Secretary of Stare in that country (Lord Buc kinghamfhirei pledged himfelf in the Commons, as did Lord Clare in the Irifh Houfe of Lords, that a bill fhould be brought into the Englifh Parliament to remove this incontinency. It was for the pur pole of putting an end to this anomaly, and redeem. ing that pledge, that the would offer to the Houfe the bill of which he had gives' notice. He wi(hed the Alt of 1793, or at leap the principle of it, to be ex tended to this part of the empire. This was not the proper time for him to expatiate on the merits of the Catholic officers, or to lay before the Houfe the emi. nent rvices which they had rendered to their coun try rat the (bores of-Egypt and Calabria. In another Itait of the b,ll, he would have much to fay on the THEATRE-ROYAL, COVENT-GARDEN. • TO -MORROW EVENING, MARCH 7, 1807, will be aged the Tragedy of HAMLET. Hamlet, Mr. KEMBLE.
