HOSPITALS OF PARIS.

From an account for 1847 just published by the
Administration Genkrale des Hapitaux of Paris, it
appears that it has under its direction 16 hospitals,
11 hospices, and 3 charitable establishments. The
hospitals are the hotel-Dieu and its succursal, La
Pitle, La Charlie, St. Louis, St. Antoine, Necker,
Cochin, Beaujon, Bon Secours, du Midi, de
Lourcine, des Enfans Malades, les Cliniques,
the Maison d'Accouchement, and the Maison
Nationale de Sante, Faubourg St. Denis. The
hospices are : De la Viellesse (men), ditto
(women), Incurables (men), ditto (women), des
Menages, La Rochefoucauld, Ste. Perine, Boulard,
Br( zin, Devillas, Enfans Trom es and Orphelins.
There are 6,104 beds in the hospitals, and 11,079 in
the hospices—in all 17,583. In 1836, there were only
16,224. In the course of the year 1847, 88,493 sick
persons were treated in the medical department of
the hospitals, and 23,291 in the surgical. The
number of days passed by the sick persons of both de-
partments was 2,156,463 ; that of the employer,
578,662—in all, 2,735,125. The average number of
persons attended to in the hospitals is 5,800 daily. The
periods for which they remain on an average vary in
the different hospitals ; in the medical department, it
is about 23f days—in the surgical, 31g. Out of the
88,493 sick persons who were attended, 8,317 died.
The average of deaths is one in ten. The permanent
population of the hospices and maisons de retraite is
about 9,750, of whom 2,250 to 2,300 are insane ; and,
in addition, 19,293 insane persons and infirm persons
entered the hospices during the year. Of these
29,043, 1,781 died. The days passed by the patients
amounted altogether to 3,639,773. The number of
enfans trouves and orphans received in 1847 was
4,554, of whom only 477 are supposed to be legi-
timate ; and, in addition, there were 2,800 children
who had been received in the previous year; 3,682 of
the children were placed in the country, 1,240 given up
to their parents, 1,215 died. In the course of the year
214,554 persons altogether, including the sick and the
indigent, were relieved. The total expense of the admi-
nistration was 14,950,211 f. Among the items are
the following :—Bread flour, &c., 2,154,112 f. ; wine,
867,015 f. ; meat, 1,617,140 f.; different provisions,
1,189,979 f. ; medicines, 600,000 f.; bandages, keg
73,0001. • firing, 583,000 f. • Belting and washintro
332,3181.; linen, 246,0001; Clothing, 259,240 f.; furni-
ture and utensils, 220,590 f. The expense of children
in the country was 1,591,4851.; the direction des

for his excellent management on the occasion, and the •
unanimous approbation of pit, boxes, and gallery, which
were crowded to excess by a most respectable auditory,
must have been a gratifying evidence to him and his
companions that their exertions were appreciated in a
proper manner, and betokened an earnest of future
success.

SUMAR MANUFACTORIES IN FRANCE. The
number of sugar manufactories in France at present at
work is 277, and of thoe idle 30. These figures give a
diminution of 26 establishments being idle, and an aug-
mentation of 15 new ones at work. There have been
prepared during the past season 15,000,000 kilogrammes,
or nearly 6,000,000 more than during the preceding sea-
son. The quantity given out for consumption has been
12,750,000 kilogrammes, or 4,500,000 more than the
season before. At the end of November upwards of
21,060,000 kilogrammes remained on hand, besides
6,000,000 more the year before. Thus more sugar has
been made, and more consumed, but also more remains
on hand.
