ST. PANCRAS ROYAL GENERAL DISPENSARY.—
Yesterday the annual meeting of the friends of this charity
was held at the Dispensary House, 26, Burton-crescent ;
Mr. E. W. Wadcson, the treasurer, in the chair. Mr. T.
E. Baker, the honorary secretary, read the report, from
' which it appeared that during the past year the benefits of
the charity had been greatly extended among the surround-
ing poor. Dorian the prevalence of cholera petienta were
admitted without letters of recommendation. The increase
in the number of patients bad considerably augmented the
current expenses, particularly in regard to the cost of medi-
cines. The expenditure on the year had in consequence
exceeded the income by more than 791., and the committee
earnestly solicited the support of the inhabitants of the
neighbourhood to maintain the charity in unimpaired use-
fulness. Dr. G. D. Gibbs had been elected u physician,
and Mr. J. T. Paul resident medical officer. The Rev. L.
W. T. Dale moved the adoption of the report, which was
seconded by Mr. W. S. Wyatt, and agreed to. A second
donation of ten guineas was received from Mr. Wsdesou,
the treasurer. The thanks of the meeting were then voted
to the medical officers for their service'', and to the chairman
for presidiag, and the proceedings terminated.

leg about 700 have been entirely cared, and about 900 have
