AT a SPECIAL MEETING of the BOARD of
MANAGEMENT held this day •

EDWARD PENRHYN, Esq. in Oha• ;
the" ".lr
RCSOITSd—The Board having observed statements of en un-
justifiable nature, which have recently appeared in the Times News-
paper, reflecting on the Management of this Institution, and tending
to injure the Society in the estimation of the Public, consider that,
instead of entering unto discussions with Anonymous Writers, the
most satisfactory mode of refuting such charge will be to summon
a SPEC IA L GENERAL ME ET ING of lei SUBSCRIBERS
at large, which, it is hereby notified, will beheld at the Freemasons'
Tavern, in Great Queen-street, on SATURDAY the 7th day of
February next, at Eleven o'Cluck ; to which Meeting a full cape-
=tom statement of ever* item of account, and of every part of the
proceedings of the Board, will be submitted.
(Signed) EDWARD PENRHYN, Chairman.
The Chair will be taken at Twelve &(lock.

QTRASG RES' FRIEND SOt (ETV, instituted hi the
4L.7 Year 1780, Me VISITING end RELIEVING the SICK
and DISTRESSED POOR at their OWN LIABIT.tTIONS.
The principles on whicikehiaGhavity lire founded are the most
benevolent and disinterested. Protestants, Roman Catholics.
Strangers, and Foreigners, have equal claim to relief, on the sole
recommendation of the misery which surrounds them ! In carrying
on this work of mercy, upwards of 3641 Visitors are engaged, who
give their services gratuitously, cheerfully, and constantly whose
sphere of labour is not confined to the Metropolis merely, but ex-
tends from Chelsea to Poplar, and from Camberwell to Hackney.
In this wide range, all cases of the Sick Poor which come to the
knowledge of the Members of thitt. Charity (by recommendations
or diligent seardth are visited, and the bounty entrusted by the
public for distribution is disposed of, under the direction of the
Committee, with discrimination, and with as much liberality as the
multiplied claims of each particular district admit.
The increased disttess among the Poor of the Metropolis at this
inclement season, urges the Committee again thus publicly to
make known the claims on this Society. When the Committee
put forth their advertisement last month, they were under the ne-
cessity of stating, that several hundred cases then on the books
demanded immediate relief, but that the Funds were exhausted,
and that the Treasurer was in advance. Since that time, several
liberal contributors to this Charitable Institution have come for.
ward, as may be seen below. By memos of their benevolence, the
sufferings of the distressed have been in some measure mitigated :
but the Committee regret to add, that, through the low state of
their Funds, they have only been able to supply scantily the mo-
mentary demands of EIGHT HUNDRED SUFFERERS, who
are still, in the bitterness of their distress, praying for further relief.
The Committee can only refer to the Cases inserted in their
Annual Reports, in order that something like a correct idea may
be formed of those scenes of wretchedness which are presented
daily to the Visitors of this Society in the garrets and cellars of the
Metropolis; and not 'infrequently among the wretched objects thus
found, are many whom various calamities have reduced from situa-
tions of comfort and reputation. Some of these have, in the days
of their prosperity. bees eyes to the blind and feet to the lame, and
have visited the widow and the fatherless in their distress. The
sad reverse which such persons experience in the dark day of ad-
versity, claims a peculiar notice; and painful indeed it is to hear
the tale of their sufferings, and to have the tenderest sympathies
called forth, unless the hand of charity can be held out to dispense
unto them the bounty which they need. It may be seen by the
last Report, that in the year IM2, 7,169 cases, chiefly families,
were visited and relieved, and amongst them the sum of 3,1b1L
distributed.

The following subscriptions and donations, which are thankfully
acknowledged, beve been received since the last Advertisement:—
