This Charity was founded in 1816, under the patronage of
their late Majesties George IV. and William IV., their late
Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Kent, and his Ma-
jesty the King of Hanover. Since its establishment, upwards
of 10,750 patients, afflicted with deafness and other diseases of
the Ear, have been cured or relieved, including several cases
of Deaf and Dumb, as appears by the last Report. As a fur-
ther proof of its utility and of its claims on public support, it
may be mentioned that above 150 poor patients have frequently
received advice and assistance at the Dispensary ii a single day.
Though the poor are more immediately benefited by this In-
stituti.m, being furnished at it with gratuitous attendance, and
thus saved from the hands of the unskilful, yet the public at
large derive great advantage from it, as it affords opportuni-
ties, on a large scale, for trying new operations and modes of
treatment ; thus conducing to the improvement of Acoustic
Surgery.:
Every Subscriber of one guinea per annum is entitled to one
patient always on the books ; two guineas entitle to two pa-
tients, and so in proportion ; ten guineas constitute a Life Go-
vernor.

Such patients as require Acoustic Instruments are supplied
with them gratuitously.
Subscriptions are received at the Banking-houses of Sir Wil-
liam Curtis, Bart., and Co., Lombard-street; Messrs. Barclay
and Co., Lombard -street ; Messrs. Hammersley and C.., Pall-
mall ; by W. Cobbe, Esq., No. 31, Regent-street, Piccadilly ;
H. S. Smyth, Esq., at the Dispensary ; and J. H. Curtis,
Esq., Surgeon to the Institution, 2, Soho-square.
Divine Service will begin at Eleven o'clock in the Forenoon.

TIORTICULTURAL IMPO VEIVIENT.
The reputation in which READ'S PATENT HY-
DRAULIC MACHINES are held, has induced some unprin-
cipled adventurers, who never knew the .use if a Garden
Machine, to palm upon the Public base imitations as improve-
ments on Read's Patent. The pretensions of these pirates
would have been more reasonable if they had first made them
as good, and by experience learned to improve.
J. READ during Thirty-one Years' practical experience in
Gardening in all its branches, from the simple Pink to the
Pine, first invented and made the above for his own use, and
for which tbe Horticultural Society of London awarded him
their Medal. J. R. has since spent Nineteen Years in Manu-
facturing and Improving the above (for which Improvements
he has obtained Patents for the. United Kingdoms). These
consist in a peculiar arrangement of the Valves within the
Working Cylinder, surrounded by an air vessel to protect them
from injury, and they are not liable to be Out of repair..
Manufactured only at 36, Regent Circus, Piccadilly.
N. B. None, are genuine except stamped with_the words

THE • QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.

CHATHAM.

Yesterday the town of Chatham presented a series of
joyful festivity, in honour of her Majesty's birthday.
Early in the morning royal salutes were fired from the
numerous- ships of war lying in the river Medway, and
the rigging of the same were trimmed with colours of
the nation; forming an interesting display. In the dock-
yards streamers were seen flying in all directions, and
the diy Was-kept strictly as a holiday. In the forenoon
the numerous regiments in the garrison were reviewed
on the parade, in the presence of Colonel Warre, Com-
mandant of the garrison, Lieutenant-Colonel Best, Cap-
tain Clavel, and several other distinguished officers, in
the presence of the greater portion of the respectability
of the town. The crews on board of the different ships
of the line had extra allowance of grog and provisions.
In the afternoon a grand dinner took place in the gar-
rison amongst the officers, afterwards a ball, to which
several hundreds were invited. Fireworks took place
in the evening, and several of the tradesmen's house were
splendidly illuminated.
