BRITIaII Haifa iliva INCUR4BL.OL

There are thousands among the middle classes
who, having formerly lived in comfort and respectsbility,
have been reduced by immesh'', disarm to the most
tresaing poverty, and who are altogether deprived of the
means of procuring medical ail or the necessaries which
their suffering condition demands. Without hope, often
without the power of performing the moot ordinary daces
for themselves, amidst days of wretchedness and nights of
agonizing pain, they are • burden to friends who are often
almost as poor and helpless as themselves. It was meetothe wants of this clam of sufferers that the British Home
for Incurables was established in the year 1861,
and for their accommodation extensive premises
have been purchased at Clapham Rise. The loca-
lity is • vary healthy one, and, as the House is
within easy reach of London, the best medical advice can
be obtained with as little delay as pounds, and the friends
of patients enjoy, through the medium either of the old
omnibus, or the new railway routes, the greatest facilities
for visiting the institution. Since the establishment of
the Home there have been ten elections, at which 109 can-
didates have been elected, viz., 48 in-patients, who are
provided with airy and comfortably furnished apartments,
with food, with attendszum, with medicine, in fact with
every comfort which their unfortunate condition renders
necessary ; and 61 out-patients, who receive annuities of
201. each. Some few persons have been admitted to the
institution on payment. It is nearammy to make
some selection as to the nature of the diseases, but
of those who are suffering from incurable diseases, it is
only the insane and idiotic who are altogether excluded.
The epileptic and those suffering from sneer are eligible
as out-patients. At present the institution contains about
40 persons, and there is room for nearly as many more,
whom the board would be glad to admit if they were imp-
plied with adequate funds for their maintenance. last
year the annual subscriptions amounted to about 2,0001.,
and the donations to between 5,0001. and 6,0001. The
managers have from the font preserved the institution
from debt, and have steadily kept in view the great object
of rendering it independent of casual support. With this
object they have already invested between 13,0001. and
14,0001. of their funds, and intend still further to
increase the amount of their reserve. In this object
they have recently been greatly assisted by several
munificent donations. The Marquis of Westminster has
presented 1,0001. towards the general fund, end Mr. Shaw
Stewart has given a similar sum for the endowment of a
bed, in memory of a deceased relative who took a deep
interest in the welfare of the institution. Yesterday
afternoon the friends of the charity were invited to visit
the Home, and among those who took advantage of the
opportunity were Lady Louisa Finch, Leidy Caroline Char-
tens, the Rev. S. Bridge, Captain Daahwood, and Messrs.
S. L. Rail, T. Buxton, Chas. Hood, W. Maclean, J.
Osborne, J. A. Shaw Stewart, and S. Wright.

SOCIETY FOR IMP.ROVING THE CONDITION OF
LABOURING CLASSES.

The twenty-second annual meeting of the sul..
scribers and friends of this society was held yesterday, at
Willis's Rooms, under the presidency of the Earl of
SHA/TIABORT.
The Rev. Rilllll.ll /ICILY having opened the proceed-
inp. with prayer,
M. PACK, the secretary, read the report, which speaks
of a gradual improvement in the position of the society
and the extension of its operations, and calls attention
to the great necessity of such an agency consequent upon
the overcrowding, resulting from the clearing away of the
dwellinp of the poor fornew railways. It then states that the
railway bills of the present session contempleted the re-
moval of 16,000 houess, while the whole of the model
lodging-bowies only supplied accommodation for 8,798
persons, and after referring to recent legislation on the
subject, and urging the importance of extending the
efforts to provide cheap and healthful dwellings
for the working classes, it gives the following
abstract of the cash account and of the funds and property
of the society for the year ending 31st December, 1865
The funds actually received in the year from all sources
for the general purposes of the society was 5,981/. Is. 6d. ;
the balance in hand at the commencement of the year
being 2871., makes the total amount to be accounted r
6,2681. Is. 6d. The total current expenses of ally
lodging houses (including repairs and re-painting,
amounted to 3,3651. 6a. 3jd ; the loans repaid, and other
claims, and interest on loans, lac., amounted to 1,932/.
Ba. 4d. ; and the rent of offices, salaries, manager's com-
mission, printing of publications and plias, stationery,
postages, and all incidentals, 6691. 4s. 3d. ; leaving a
Wawa of 3011. 2s. Id. The real property, ke., of the
society (valued at cost) is 44,3651.3 a. Id., and the general
liabilities 21,015/. ; leaving assets, 22,350/. 3s. Id.
The Rev. J. B. Dvrxtr moved a resolution adopting the
report and recognaing the divine blessing upon the so-
ciety's operations. As showing the value of the applica-
tion of ample inexpensive methods of sanitary reform,
he stated that of the population inhabiting the society's
dwellings, numbering 1,678 persons, there had been only
28 deaths during the year, and of
ethose 12 w

Londonbeing 26 per 1000, and the average in Edinburgh
27 per 1,000, in Manchester 33 per 1,000, and in Liver-
pool 41 per 1,000.
