COMPLAINT AGAINST THE ISLINGTON DOG SHOW.
A deputation of the tradesmen and inhabitants of the
Liverpool-road and neighbourhood waited upon the magi-
strate in reference to the dog show which is now lasing
place at the Agricultural-hall, Islington.
One of the deputation then stated that the Dog Show was
a great nuisance, and they could not sleep in consequence
of the howling iod barking of the dogs. They had had no
met since the dogs had been there, and as the show was to
last the whole of the week they did not know what they
should do. Their families were very much annoyed. The
deputation did not think that the Agricultural Hall was a
proper place to hold a dog show in.
Mr. Barker. without going into the question as to whether
the hall was a proper place or not for the show, said he was
sorry that he could not help the applicants. kie had no
doubt but that Mr. Sidney, the secretary, would do all he
could to abate any nuininee that could be remedied.
The deputation then thanked his worship and retired.

institutions, the report says, the reception of children is
determined finally by their mental or physical develop
meets, but here they are received at so early en age. as
to prevent the possibility of their state, in either mse,
being ascertained ; consequently, the hospital is burdened
with objects out of sight, which would, under other cir•
cumstanors, become the fitting inmates of institutions
appropriated to special cases ; thus, for imagism.

the year 1862, the average age of each being about three
months. The necessity for ths interposition of each an irr

ball of them, whet admitted, were in a sickly, if not
a diseased @tote. Of the good effected in the other most
