SANATORIUM IN THE ISLAND

THE OPUNTIt 1' MARKETS.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 26.—There is about
500 beasts on offer here to-day, including 150 from Edin-
burgh, and the counties on the north-eastward of Scotland, by
sea. From the border counties there was a considerable fall-
ing off. As a whole, the quality of the cattle is decidedly
above an average for the time of year. With sheep and
lambs the supply is again large. The former is good M
quality, but the latter is very indifferent. As regards the
demand, the beef trade is by no means to call brisk; yet, all
kinds are making more money, especially small cutters, and
all will be sold. The number of sheep and lambs, 6,400;
both descriptions of stock is a slow sale, and prices are ruling
in favour of the buyer, with a considerable quantity of each
remaining unsold. Prices—Beasts, small cutters, 6s 9d ;
middling, 6s 3d to 6s 6d; good steers, 6s to 6s 3d;
mid-
dling, 5s 9d ; inferior, 55 per stone of 141bs. Sheep, 4iid to

OF MADEIRA.
A public meeting was held on Monday at the Hano-
ver-square Rooms, for the purpose of forming an insti-
tution for the reception (in the island of Madeira) of
perolis labouring unchr Pulmonary disorders. The
Right Honourable Lord Robert Grosvenor was in the
chair. Not more than twenty persons were present.
The institution is intended fur those who, being uni,ble
to defray the whole expenses incident to a removal from
EittJind and a residence the requisite time in Madeira,
would yet gladly avail themselves of the advantages of
that health-giving climate, and pay the expense of the
voyage at a reduc-d rate, were they sure of finding on
their arrival lugging, service, and medical attendance
free of charge, Lai comfortable board upon the most
moderate fixed terms.

The NOBLE CIIAIRNAN said the claims of the in-
stitution, for the purpose, of introducing which to the
notice and support of the public they had assembled
together, were very strong. We had hospitals for
almost every disease to which human flesh is heir,
and the patents of which received the best possible me-
dical assistance, but with respect to that class of diseases,
namely, pulmonary- disorders so pr( valent in a change-
able climate like ours, little or no prevision of a
benevolent character had been secured. He had not in
his possession the precise statistical information relative
to the numerical prevalence of such diseases, but all
present must be aware that they formed a very
large proportion of the disorders with which English-
men were unfortunately afflicted. The great changes
of our climate, the over•toil of a large class of the
community, and of our defective sanitary measures,
caused many persons to fall victims to the diseases
he had referred to, and he felt satisfied that when the lin-
gering character of this malady was taken into conside-
ration, the meeting must be of his opinion, that an insti-
tution having for its obj. et the means of alleviating, if
not of entirely removing this distres.ing complaint, was
eminently deserving of public sympathy and support.
But what wNs the fact ? That until within a short time
there was not a single hospital in existence for the
relief of patients afflicted with that most prevalent cora-
plsint, and no provision whatever had been made for
atfurding the patients the advantages of a
more genial climate, lie was, however, happy to
say that there had recently been established
an excellent institution for the relief of pulmonary
disorders, and he was happy to say that the objects
of the two institutions did not in the least militate
against each other. The hospital he had just spoken
of contemplated the relief of the poorer classes, while
the Madeira Sanitorium proposed to give relief to those
who were able partially to help themselves; and he telt
assured that as there were but few families in the
country which had escaped this direful affliction, so it
but required an appeal to the British public to render
this (he would not say charily, but) institution as effi-
cient as it was humane in design.
Mr. HEALEY, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that a committee had been formed in the town of
Funchal for the purpose of assisting the proposed in-
stitution.
The Dean of ELY, in a short but very effective speech,
proposed the following resolution:—" That this meeting
concurs in the opinions of that held at Madeira, as to
the desirabloness of making the advantages of the climate
of that island accessible to those for whose benefit this
establishment is proposed, and it pledges itself to endea-
vour to procure contributions to that effect."
Dr. Ross seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.

Sir JAMES CLARKE then proposed the following reso-
lution:—"That in consequence of the proceedings in the
island of Madeira, which have been made known to this
meeting, it is expedient to form a permament English
committee, for the purpose of carrying into effect the
object in view."
Mr. OLIVEIRA. seconded the motion, which was also
carried.
A committee was then appointed, and a vote of thanks
having bee❑ given to the Chairman and duly acknow-
ledged, the meeting broke up.
