culiar characteristics or merits of the Institution—they
must all feel that while it proclaimed aloud that all might
come toit, it was acting under the inspiration of that
spirit divine and high and holy, from which all true
charity emanated.—(Cheers.) He would now call upon
the Secretary, before he proposed the next toast, to read
the report of the last year's proceeding?.
The StotEmuy then read the report as follows :
A year having elapsed since the last annual report of
the affairs of this ins.titution was submitted to you, it is the
duty of the Committee when resigning into your hands
the trust you have reposed in them to lay before you an
abstract of the proceedings of the year, and to give some
account of the progress which under their management has
been effected during that time.
It affords the Committee infinite satisfaction to be able
to assure you that the hospital has advanced in the last
year, as rapidly towards that prosperous and solid condition
in which it would be the happiness of its fiiends to witness
it as in any preceding year since its foundation.
The early part of the year was marked by a donation of
5001. bequeathed to the hospital by the late Miss Nlorti-
mer of Finchley, which legacy has been duly received, and
placed by the Committee to the account of the
charity. This noble bequest was followed by sundry
liberal contributions from various noblemen and gentlemen
charitably disposed towards the Institution, for all which
the Committee acting on the behalf of the Governors have
returned their grateful acknowledgments.
By the means thus placed in their hands, the Commit-
tee have happily found themselves in a situation to invest a
sum of money in the National Securities, an object which
how desirable soever it might have appeared to be, has
never befo. e been attained.

It is peculiarly gratifying to the Committee to in-
form you of the exceeding readiness which has been
evinced by several clergymen of the Established Church in
furthering the good work we are engaged in, and which,
with such encouragement, under God's blessing, can
hardly fail of complete success.
The admirable sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Rice,
the Head Master of Christ's Hospital, in the ohurch of
St. Martin's, Ludgate, wherein the cause of this charity
was most powerfully advocated, the Committee have been
induced to publish, being well assured that too much pains
cannot be taken to make known an institution which has
only to be known in order to be justly appreciated. The
thanks of the Governors are most especially due to the
Reverend Gentleman, for the great zeal he has constantly
manifested for this hospital.
The Committee have much pleasure in acquainting you
also, that a sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Short,
in the church of St. George the Martyr, in which the
great purpose we arc aiming at was set forth in so eloquent
and convincing a manner, as to prove highly beneficial to
the funds of the charity.
That eminent Divine, the Rev. Mr. Dale, has promised
likewise to preach for the Hospital, on which occasion the
Rector of St. Andrew's, Holborn, has kindly granted the
use of his church. The thanks of the Governors are
especially due to these Rev. Gentlemen.
From the Medical Report it will be seen that 8,295 pa-
tients have derived assistance from this Charity during the
last year, and since its commencement that a no less
astonishing number than 54,542 have participated in the
benefits it has been enabled to confer. When we reflect
therefore what desolating consequences must inevitably
have ensued, but for the part the Royal Free Hospital has
taken in arresting them, we must rejoice greatly that our
labours have been so well employed. Whilst adverting
1 to this subject, we must remark that too much praise can-
not be given to the medical officers of the establishment,
for the persevering attention they have bestowed upon the
very arduous duties *hey have had to discharge.
le conclusion, the Committee can only express their
most fervent desire that the day is not distant when the funds
of this institution shall attain to that flourishing state
which will enable the Governors to carry out the universal
principle of doing good to the most wretched of human
beings, the destitute sick, to the full extent they can desire.
A capital for effocting this grand object is beginning to
be realized__a bright example has been set by a pious in-
dividual now depa, ted, in contributing largely towards its
fulfilment—a nucleus is formed, and there is every reason
to hope that addition after addition will be made to it,
until at length the wished-for time arrive, when from a
small beginning a superstructure shall be raised in every
respect worthy of the great cause in which it is enlisted.
The Report was received with much cheering, and
The Noble Marquis then proceeded. He believed
nn men had disch irged their duty more zealously and
efficiently than the medical officers of the charity, and,
to use the words of the Report, in principle it was the
best charity in the metropolis.—(Cheers.) All those
who were bowed down with sickness and sorrow, and
shame and poverty, found in it an asylum, and he gave
them, with sincere good wishes for its prosperity,
" The Royal Free Hospital."—(Great cheer t'e g.)
Mr Nlattspere, the founder of the institution, re-
turned thanks, and entered at some length into a his-
tory of the est.blishment. We regret that the distance
at which we were placed from Mr. Marsden prevented
our hearing his observations distinctly.
Mr. CHARLE3 Peartsost proposed the health of the
Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London,
and referred to the liberal donation of .5001., which had
been granted by that body to relieve the institutioe
from its embarrassments. There was one peculiar fea-
ture in the present charity which perhaps tended in
some degree to limit the sphere of its exertions. The
recipients of the bounty of the subscribers were never
brought into contact with them. The only key to ad-
mission was destitution, and the only ticket required was
disease.—(Hear, hear.) When he (Mr. Vearion)
waa ,connected with the Corporation he. occasionally
Mingled in its dehates, and he could sagely ~ say
that although differences of opinion might exist upon
almost every othcr,subject, charity was one upon which
all parties was agrt,ed and united.—(Cheers.) It was
quite refreshing, amidst political discussion and pole-
mical disputes, for in that they imitated greater assem-
blies—(Much laughter)—it is quite refreshing to think
that there was one subject in which they could all
meet, without any fear of interference with political
or party feeling.—(Cheers.) It was the peculiar pri-
vilege of that institution to extend its benefits" to, all
those who were in affliction, and whose only claims
were, that they were the children of mortality, and
the 'heirs of those misfortunes to which the whole
human race were subjected. He trusted the Corpo-.1
ration of London would, out of its enormous revenues,
display a generous and liberal spirit to institutions like the
present. They were living in times where the old habits
of the Corporations of that country would not secure
for them the support and respect of the people—these
could be best secured by devoting a portion of their
ample revenues to the cause of charity and benevolence,
and with these sentiments he would give them—" The
Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London."
—(Loud cheers.)
The SECRETARY then read the Report of subscrip-
tions and donations received in the room, which in-
cluded the Marquis of Normanby 101., and 5/. an-
nually, Lord R. Grosvenor 10/., J. Easthope, Def.,
M.P., 10/., Sir R. Ferguson, M.P., 10/., Mr. B. Wall
2.0/.. Lord Liverpool 5/., &c. &c.
The Noble CHAIRMAN then gave " Lord Kinnaird
and the other Noblemen and Gentlemen who had ho-
noured them with their company."
Lord KINNAIRD returned thanks. It was the first
time he had appeared among them, but he hoped that he
should in future repudiate the name of stranger.—
( Hear and cheers.) It was said that nothing could be
done in England without a dinner, but he believed the
custom was a good one. It brought men together in
cordial union and good fellowship, and the recollection of
a pleasant day would induce others to attend the next
festive meeting of as institution the object of which was
to promote the cause of true charity and benevolence.—
(Cheers.)
Mr. EasTuorE, M. P., proposed the .healths of the
gentlemen composing the Committee of Management,
and referred to the progressive extension of the benefits
of the Institution. In 1829 it had extended relief to
926 individuals, and in 1839 it had conferred relief upon
B,29B.—(Cheers.) He was not surprised at the elo-
quencet
he withiet
interests
sh
of
theirth e
CNitlsalarliet
y. Chairmanri ehail had advo-
cated
been dis-
tinguished for his efforts to promote the welfare of the
people of the sister country.—( Vehement cheers.) He
was not surprised, therefore, that on his return to
England, he should exert himself to promote the pro-
sperity of an Institution, from which there was no doubt
that many destitute and unfortunate Irishmen
.obtained
relief and assistance.—(Loud cheers.)
The toast was drunk with loud cheers.
Mr. NORTHHOUSE returned thanks. He was de-
puted by the other Members of the Committee to
express their gratitude for the Noble response which
this room presented to their exertions. He was also
entrusted by the Lord Mayor with a communication
and a checque in aid of the Society.—(Cheers.) His
Lordship had been informed that some persons had
stated, that he was personally adverse to the grant of
five Bred pounds, which the Corporation had re-
andde,; now he, (Mr. N.) was
thathehad only paid the sum in his

highest opinion of the excellence of this Institution—.
that his Lordship frequently sent cases to it which he

deny this assertion in the strongest

proof of his personal feeling towards fit, not only was his
Lordship a Life-Governor, not only had lie been a

Steward at a former dinner, but he now sent the second
donation, which rhe

He would now correct

in thinking that the Corporation of the City of London

—(Great cheering.)
had confined their grant to their last donation of 5001.
He was happy to say that they had a thousand claims
upon the gratitude of the company.—(Cheers.) Their
first donation was a hundred guineas, their second two
hundred, their third two hundred, their last
five hundred, and if he could judge of the
feeling of other members of the Corporation, from that of
the Lord Mayor, he %vas satisfied that if ever the So-
ciety again, required the aid of the civic body, that aid
would not be refused.—(Cheers.) Having stated thus
much uporx the authority of the Lord Mayor, he might
now be permitted to state from his own knowledge, that
whateyer might be the merits of former chief magis-
trates, whatever the reform of abuses, whatever the
promotion of charities, whatever the devotion to
public good., that never had the civic chair been
filled by one: who surpassed its present occupant,
the protector of the poor, the 'founder of the Cannon-
street refuge - for the destitute, and the chivalrous
champion' oE•free trade and low_p•rices in one of the
. . . . ... . . . . . . -

chief necessaries of human life.—(Great cheering.)
As to this Charity, he (Mr. Northhouse) felt it to be,
one of the best that ever existed. It sought not to
compass its godlike ends by pandering to individual
patronage and vanity ; the only qualification of its
claimants was their misery—the only certificate their
destitution.—(Cheers.) Amid the raging ocean of
human life it was an ark where the gentle dove might
find a resting place—amid the arid sands of political and
polemical prejudices which blinded the eye to truth,
humanity, and popular enlightenment, it was an oasis of
the'desert, a neutral ground where men might repose from
factious strife, and learn to love and respect each other.
—(Cheers.) He would now, with very great humility,
venture to dissent from some remarks which had fallen
from the Noble Chairman as to the expediency of uniting
this Institution with that of the Houseless Poor. They
were in practice already so much united—the diseases
produced .by hunger and cold, from the one being in-
variably sent to the other to be cured—that he thought
one management would be more harmonious and effec-
tive than two; yet there was no necessity for mingling the
healthy and the unhealthy destitute together. Mr.
Duncan Campbell, who deserved to be called a
second Howard, was the great practical supporter of
the one, and a large and active contributor to the
other; viith such men—with their Sovereign at their head,
and with the illustrious patronage they possessed, why
should they not form a royal temple of mercy ?—(Great
cheering.) There was too, a third class, the circum-
stances and the sufferings of many of whom it deeply
pained him to contemplate—a class only to be com-
pared to those in another life, whose punishment the
Church teaches us, is irredeemable and eternal, who
have from one false step been consigned to that abode, on
the gates of which is written, " All hope abandon, ye
who enter here,"—and it may be, some of them "more
sinned against than sinning"—the victims of vio-
lated vows—mock marriages—hollow promises. The
lives of all most wretched—lost to their friends—to the
world—to their God—with

" One sorrow that throws
Its bleak shade Alike o'er their joys and their woes,
To which life nothing darker or brighter can bring ;
For which joy bath no charm and affliction no sting."
Can there be no means of salvation for those would-be
penitent found ? Cannot this Institution essay to cure
both body and soul? Oh, if their be "more joy among
the angels of Heaven over one sinner that repenteth
than over ninety and nine just men," will not a kindred
feeling inspire their sisters on earth ?—(Great
cheering.) The principle of this Society being adopted—
no inquiry into harrowing and sickening tales of seduc-
tion and distress—no prurient and depraved taste gra-
tified by such details, no remains of shame that may
be left, wounded and tortured—such a charity would in-
deed be

-" twice hless'd,
In blessing him that gives, and her that takes."
—(Cheers.) To some yet redeemable sinners and suf-
ferers the Institution would give "beauty for ashes, the
oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness ;" it would redeem " a soul under the
ribs of death," and with a Queen upon whose gentle
brow the charities shine with refulgent lustre—who, all
graceful as she is in her " sceptred sway," has a feeling
for mercy
" Which becomes the throned Monarch better than her

Crown."
—(Great cheering)—how soon might such a royal
temple of mercy be founded, and never could the propo-
sition be more propitiously brought forward than in the
presence of a Noble Lord whose official life proves that
he has read, duly appreciated, and constantly acted
upon the sublime thought of the immortal bard of
Avon, that
E4rthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice."
—(Great cheering.)
The CHAIRMAN, after some explanatory remarks
upon the talents of Mr. Lover, called upon that gen-
tleman for a song, to which Mr. Lover promptly and
kindly responded. Ile was loudly cheered by his de-
lighted auditory.
Mr. Plitt.t.roTTs, M.P., proposed the healths of Dr.
Hume, NVeatherhead, and the other medical officers
of the Institution.

The following toasts were afterwards given :
" The Rev. Mr. Packman, the Hon. Secretary."
" The other Benevolent Institutions of the Metro-
polis," " The Ladies," &c. &c.
The CHAIRMAN, after announcing that the subscrip-
tions of the evening amounted to 5751., then retired.
The Chair was then taken, at the Noble Marquis's
request, by Mr. Charles Pearson, and the festivities of
the evening were prolonged until an advanced hour.
