Great Northern Efospital,

The eighth anniversary dinner of this useful institution
was held last night at the Albion, Alderagate-street, Sir
Lawrence Palk, Bart„ M.P., in the chair.
The Chairman having proposed " Her Most Gracious
Majesty the Queen," " Their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of Wales," " The Bishop and Clergy of the
Diocese," responded to by the Rev. Canon Dale, and " The
Army, Navy, and Volunteers," called attention to the re-
port, of which the following is an abstract :
" The Great Northern Hospital has been established in
the new premises in the Caledonian-road. Donations have
been received during the present year as follows :—A legacy
of £3OO has been be queathed to the hospital by the will of
the late George Wheelhouse, Esq. It will be remembered
that the hospital had its origin iu a dispensary, established
by the late Mr Statham in the neighbourhood of King a-
cross. Converted into an hospital, much needed by the
constantly increasing northern districts, it now forma the
nucleus of a great metropolitan charity. It has a large
and efficient medical surgical staff. The arrangement 1))
which the North London Deaconesses' Institution under-
took the nursing of the hospital has fully answered the

expectations formed of it. Only increased funds are now
wanting to make the hospital fully available for the
relief of the northern districts. The receipts for the
eleven months ending 31st May, 1864, amounted to
£1,297 12s 7d, the payments to £1,291 8s 7d. The number
of out-patients relieved during the same period is 44,396.
To effect the most important and pressing objects, it is
calculated that about £4,000 will be sufficient—viz., out-
patients' department, including waiting-rooms, consulting-
rooms, and dispensary about £7OO. To render the present
building thoroughly efficient, about £350. To build new
wards about £2,000. For purchase of the present interest
in the hospital buildings, furniture of new wards, and in-
cidental expenses about £1,000."

The CiLainm.ix then proposed, " Prosperity to the
Great Northern Hospital." He [pointed out that it was
situated in a densely populated neighbourhood, where dis-
ease was more common than in more open districts where
people had all the advantages of ventilation, and possessed
a better knowledge than their poorer brethren of the means
of preventing disease or stopping it on its appearance.
The :hospital had done much; it was pushing on to do
more, and whilst he did not admit it was desirable that a
hospital should be allowed to get into a state of indebted-
ness, still where there was a pressure of misery the com-
mittee were justified in stepping forward to relieve it, in the
confident belief that the public would support them.
The toast was drunk with three times three.
The Healths of the Medical Staff, the Committee of
Management, the Chairman, and the Stewards, followed.
The music performed during the evening was under the
direction of Mr D. W. King, and was sung by Miss Poole
(who never sang better than on this occasion, and was
loudly cheered), the Misses King, Miss Jane Wells, Mr D.
King, and Mr Lawler.

Subscriptions were announced to the amount of £OOO.
