FISTULA INFIRMARY.

Yesterday, the ordinary annual meeting of the
governors of this charity was held at the London Tavern;
Lteut.-General Sir J. LAW Lt ss morose in the chair. The
SZVISTARY read the report for the year ending the 31. t. of
December, 1831, of which the following constitute the
main portions:
" The recurrence of another anniversary mai upon the
essamittee for their annual report, and it is to [him a
Ilatrilo of deep thankfulness to the (ireat Disposer of
Events, that they can again congratulate the governors and
subscribers on the advancement which during the past year
the infirmary has made, and on the bright prospects held out
to it by the future. Under His blessing, it has progressed
in subscriptions and donations, both to the general
and building fund, the latter having reached the amount
recommended by your committee as the minimum
upoa which the new building should be commenced.
With sorrow have the committee to announce, that during
the past year the hand of death has again deprived the
charity of some of its valuable and valued friend., among
whom they have to record and remt Alderman Sir John
Pine, Bart., and John Deacon, Eoq., Vice-Presidents of
the institution • Charles lloare, Esq., and Thomas Dirks
son, Esq., the fast of whom has bequeathed to the charity
the munificent legacy of 1,0001. duty free. It is, however,
to the great object of their own anxiety and you», to the
erection of the new infirmary, that the committee would
more especially direct attention. They rejoice at being
able to report a progress in the highest degree satisfactory
and encouraging. A plan for the building has been lire-
pared, combining every wished for advantage. The inter-
nal arrangements being laid out under the immediate in-
struction of the medical officers, and while a sulfiriently
important exterior hu been maintained, the chief outlet
will be found (in strict accordance with the conditions
attached to the anonymous donation of 3,000/. receded
in their last report), devoted to the interests of the sufferers
who shall become its inmates. The hospital will be constructed
for the reception of 50 beds, distributed through light and airy
wards, containing enly from 6 to 8 beds in each, the object O,T
the committee's solicitude throughout having been that, to
the utmost extent:of which it is capable, comfort shall be cow
aidered as well as suffering and disease removed. Fade-
aively from the advantages thus immediately resulting to
the afflicted poor, it will afford an extended opportunity ler
the acquirement of that practical experience which the r►
cords of the charity, from its foundation to the present
hour, unhappily prove to be so lamentably wanting.'
The committee expected that the first stone of the new
building might be laid towards the latter end of June, and
they recommended to change the name of the charity into
that of " St. Mark's Hospital," as they found that it, pro;
sent name prevented it from participating in acts of charity
which would otherwise have flowed freely towards it. The
receipts during the last year amounted to 2,077/. 131. 10d.,
and there remained a balance in hand of 1061. ls. 2.1. The
building fund amounted to 3,100/. The surgical report
showed that 563;patients were admitted within the year, ei
whom 322 were discharged cured, 132 materially relieved,
11 were incurable, 19 discharged for irregular attendinee.
sad 79 remained. The total number of patients admitted
since the charity was founded was 7,068.
The CHAllthiAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
slid ho felt confident that a charity like the present would
ewer receive the support of those who were disposed to re-
lieve the sufferings of their poorer fellow-creatures, ,Ilear.)
lie hoped, therefore, that those who were present would not
heave the meeting without contributing their mite towards
*support. (lieu, bear.) It was satisfactory that the
fund had progressed so favourably, and he approved
Webs eLaoge of name recommended by the committee.
The report was unanimously approved and adopted.
Mr. MAsraawAN, M.P., proposed, and Mr. S. B. MRS'

chairman, Mr. Frith, deputy chairman, and the other
members of the committee of management, which wee

felt is deep interest in the prosperity of the iwititution, for
he knew that it was the means of conferring great becefit

Mr. FRITH. proposed the thanks of the stoscrnon, to
Dr. Daniel, the hon. physician, and to Mr. Salmon, she
bon. surgeon, of the charity, for their efficient and gratu-
ities services during the past year. He need net in that
sssedag dwell upon the benefit conferred upon tin charity
by those gentlemen, whose punctuality and attention to the
wipes placed under their care was deserving of every
Mateo. 'lo Dr. Daniel they were mainly indebted for the
arrangement of the building ; and to the indomitable por•
severance and industry of Mr. salmon they might lead,
seeribv the present position of the charity, whilat he was
impelled by no tither motive than the feeling which goad
men derived from the performance of good action.,
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Hareem seconded the resolution, which passid tor

Dr. DANIEL, in returning thanks, said that the meilied
officers would at all times be ready to contiuuc their services
in aid of en institution so valuable to those pour firnwg.
who suffered so mush, and who still continued to stiff r Groat
those peculiar diseases to the earn and mitigation of which
the charity applied its resources. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN, in replying to a vote of thanl,-, sail.
that to the latest period of his life he would tat. a er
interest in the institution. (Hear, hear.) lie would d a:
he could to aid its funds, and would speak of its value
all his friends. (Hear, hear.) lie was aware that r. hap
done great good, and the best prisd of the benefit it eon-
forced was to be found in the fart that many of te-
persons who were cured in the infirmary hail heroine mu-

The meeting then separated.
