'Widows of Private Soldiers and Nou-oommissioned °Metre were
4118Cted into the Asylum. Eighteen additional rooms are now
taeaut, requiring only to he furnished. Thanks to the munifi-
cence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who gave
the site of land, ample space exists for the erection of vast addi-
tional buildings. Fundsere earnestlyentreated for the furniture
of the vacant rooms, as well as fur the maintenance of the in-
mates of the Asylum.
The casualties at the Battle of the Alma afford a scope for the
active benevolence of the British public, and especially of those

lament the loss of sons, brothers, husbands, to come fun+ ard and
help the otherwise utterly helpless.
