j .IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.—It is
• 4 with much regret that the Committee find themselves com-
pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on beiialf of this
Instituti,n. Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from
a falling off in Donations and Legacies,which amounted, in 18 5 2,
t0..219 ; 185 3, '1,315; 18 5 4,-e775; 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 from which Cie Committee
hopefully trust the Public will spare them the necessity of re-
sorting.
The Committee consists of the following gentlemen, by
.any of
whpm Donations and Subscriptions will be thankfully received :
Alienry Lawrence, Charles B. Robinson,
John Cropper, William Henry Moss,
