ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-YNN-ROAD.—The
annual general meeting of the governors of this truly
philanthropic institution was held yesterday ; Mr. James
Hopped in the chair. The report of the committee of
management, after congratulating the governors and
friends of the hospital on its attainment of the fortieth
year of its existence, without any signs of abating public
confidence in its excellence, stated that during the past
year the directors of the Great Northern Railway, in re-
cognition of the constant services rendered to cases of
accident occurring on their line, bad doubled their sub-
scription, which now amounted to 501. a year. The suspen-
sion of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, an event which
evoked the deepest sympathy of the committee with their
highly respected treasurer, 11r. Edward Maaterman, had
inconvenienced the committee less than it might have
done, as they had only a balance of 153/. Ba. 2d. in the
bank at the time. Referring to the outbreak of cholera,
the committee stated that the confidence reposed in the
resources of the hospital by the three circumjacent parishes
of Holborn St. Pancras, and Clerkenwell, induced
their severali boards of guardians to institute
negotiations with the weekly board by which a
ward was set apart for the reception of cholera patients
from each perish during the continuance of the epidemic.
A deputation from the weekly board had a satisfactory
interview with the Mansion-house committee during the
visitation of the disease, which resulted in a grant of 1001.,
with ten gallons of port wine, and eleven bottles of
brandy. During the past year the number of persons'
treated as out-patients had been 78,406, the number of in-
patients had amounted to 1,655, and the discharges had
exceeded 1,500. The deaths had amounted to 104, but of
that number 33 were ascribable to cholera. The financial
statement showed that the receipts for 1866 hall been as
follows :—Donations, 2,601/. 17m 101. ; subscriptions,
1,490/. Is. ; legacies, b,540(. Is. 9d. ; the total, including
sundry small items, being 10,303/. Is. 8.1. while the ex-
penditure had been 9,789/. Os. 10.1. With regkrd to thedeath
of Mr. W. Marsden, the founder of the charity, and of the
Cancer Hospital at Brampton, the committee stated that
independently daily other shape of memorial which the
governors and other friends of the deceased might hereafter
see fit to adopt, • member of the committee had most
generously offered to guarantee 200/. a year for five years,
on condition of sufficient extra funds being raised to sup-
port one additional ward in the hospital, to be called" The
Founder's ,^ or " The Marsden Ward ;" and, moreover, as
there already existed a commodious new ward, as yet un-
opened, every way suitable for their-fin-pose, the committee
strongly recommended this meeting's acceptance of the
above offer, and its making immediate arrangements for
carrying out the object. The report having been formally
received, and votes of thanks passed to the treasurer,
medical officers and secretary, it was resolved, on the'
motion of the Rev. Mr. Owen, the chaplain, seconded by
Dr. O'Connor, that a sub-committee should be appointed
to consider the best mode of carrying the recommendation
respecting the " Marsden Memorial " into effect. The pro-
ceedings terminated by • vote of thanks to the chairman,
who, it was stated, was the member of the committee re-
ferred to as having offered 1,000/. towards the memorial.
MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. Yesterday a general
court of the governors was held in the board-room of the,
hospital to receive the annual statement of receipts and
expenditure. Mr. T. N. Hunt, who occupied the chair, in
a few complimentary words introduced to the court Mr.
Henry N. Cuatance, the newly-elected secretary. The
accounts presented by the treasurer showed that the ordi-
nary income of the past year had amounted to 10,060/.,1
and the expenditure to 14,973/.' thus leaving a deficit of
4,913/. to be provided for out of the other resources of the
hosiiitaL The bequests during the year had produced
2,0431., and on the Ist of January last the assets stood at
129,984/. The number of in-patients had been 2,001, and
the out-patients 21,4.4, making • total of 23,425 persons
who last year participated in the benefits of the institution.
The Hon. Captain Maude, Mr. T. N. Hunt (the chairman
of the day), and Mr. Sedgwick were nominated auditors of
the balance-sheet, and Mr. Joseph William Trupp,l
and Mr. Mitchell Henry were re-elected treasurers for
the current year. The other annual officers were
also re-appointed, and votes of thanks passed
to the medical and surgical staffs for their past ser-
vices. Mr. Be Morgan proposed and Mr. Shaw seconded
a resolution to the effect that all matters pertaining to
the instruction and discipline of the students in the hos-
pital should be regulated by the medical officers and lec-
turers conjointly. The proposal was resisted by Mr. More,
the lecturer on anatomy, and Dr. Stewart, one of the for-
mer physicians, on the ground of its being calculated to
promote illwill and dissension between the two bodies.
Mr. More attributed the lack of students in the school to
the severe discipline that had been enforced ; but Mr. De
Morgan pronounced this to be an erroneous conclusion,
and the motion, which met with the hearty approval of
Dr. Murchison and other professional governors, was ulti-
mately assented to. A vote of thanks was awanled to the
Hospital Carriage Society, for their kind offer of a car-
riage, which was gratefully accepted, and the secretary I
was directed to make the necessity arrangements for its
reception. Thanks were then given to the chairman, with'
which the proceedings of the court terminated.
