IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.---It is
. with much regret that the Committee find themselves com-
pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on bel.rilf of this
Institution. Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from
a falling off in Donations and Legacies, which amounted, in 1852,
to £2,219; 1853, £1,315; 1854, £775; and the high prices of all
Articles of Consumption. the past year closed with a heavy Debt
of nearly £1,400, which is daily Increasing, from the same causes
being still in operation. Unless this be checked by timely suc-
cour, no alternative will be left but to curtail the Relief hitherto
afforded to the Sick and Disabled Poor of the community ; a
course much to be deprecated,. and one (ruin which Cie Committee
hopefully trust the Public will spare them the necessity of re-
sorting. EDWARD GIBBON, Chairman.
ROBERT HUTCHISON, Treasurer.
