ONS. LE PAGE'S COURSE of INSTRUC-
TION in the FRENCH LANGUAGE is unquestionably
the easiest and quickest hitherto adopted.
" Without attempting any royal road to the attainment of the
French language, and without pretending that it can be ao•
quired at sight, or learned without a master, M. Le Page has,
in his excellent series of educational works, rendered a thorough
knowledge of that language comparatively easy. His system is
peculiar and original, and has long since been stamped with
public approbation."—Belrs Weekly Messenger.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION
AND DISEASES OF THE CIIEST: instituted 1642;
incorporated 1850.—The Committee of Management have the
pleasure to announce that His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND,
the president of the Institution, has kindly consented to take the
chair at the FESTIVAL to be held in Commemoration of the
Opening of the New Wiug, on Wednesday, the 9th of May next,
in Winner Rooms, St. Janies'e.
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 2N,30t1 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 to be taken
in for want of room ; that this painful 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. 10e. constitutes a Life Governor, and an
annual subscription of 31.85. a Governor.
Subscriptions and donations in aid of this Charity are received
