INFIRMARY FOR THE CURE OF
DISEASES OF THE RECTUM, CHARTER-
HOUSE-SQUARE.

Yesterday the Anniversary Meeting of the supporters
of this most invaluable Institution was held at the Lon-
don Tavern. The Rev. Dr. RUSSELL, the Rector of
Bishopsgate, in the Chair.
Mr. OGDEN, the Secretary, read the Report of the
Committee of Management, which stated that the In-
stitution was in a state of progressive improvement, and
the benefits which it conferred on suffering humanity
were very great. No less than 1,351 poor persons were
restored to health and happiness, and by whose industry
theirfamilies were preserve lfromdestitutior. Italso stated
that itsfunds had been greatly increased,not only by sub-
rcriptionslbut also by a legacy of 1,0001. from a Mr. Rich-
ardson ; and independent of 1,424/. in the Three-and-
a Half per Cents., there was a balance of 230/. in the
Treasurer's hands.
Dr. WING then rose to propose a vote of thanks to
the Committee of Management, as well as that the Re
port which had been read should be printed, and said
that the Report had spoken volumes, and he trusted
it afforded abundant evidence of the services of the
gentlemen composing the Committee. The success of
the Institution was most gratifying, considering the
.op-
position it had met.with when it originally started, and
from a quarter from whence it was least likely to
be: expected—the medical profession.—( Hear, hear.)
Bat he was happy to say that that prejudice was eva-
porating like the mildew, by the vivifying rays of expe-
rience and public benevolence.—(Cheers.) And it was
now receiving the warm support of many of the faculty.
—(Hear, hear.) When once the public mind w's
awakened to its benevolent utility, he had no doubt but
that its merits would be duly appreciated. It was ;ra-
tifying to see how the Committee had organised its ar-
rangements, and with what integrity they administered
its funds, and the ;`eriefits which resulted to suffering!
humanity.—(Hear, hear.) When the rich and the
opulent were, in spite of their wealth, and ail
the aid which it could command, enduring
tee greatest sufferings, how much greater must the
sufferings of the poor be who had not the means of al-
leviation except through the establishment of such an in •
stitution by the Christian like benevolence of a generous
public.—(Cheers.) He had retired frbm the profes-
sion ; but he would be always happy to give his best
exertions to its support.—(Cheers.) Ho concluded by
moving the resolution, which passed unanimously.
JOIN BRIGGS, Esq., in proposing the resolution for
the re-election of the same members, for the Committee,
passed a high eulogium on the services rendered by
Frederick Salmon, and observed that the
institution relieved as great an amount of hu-
man suffering as any other in this great me-
tropolis. The Hospitals only received those cases
which were incidental to human nature, but the Char-
terhouse-square Infirmary relieved a class of cases of
the most delicate character, and which had hitherto
been but imperfectly known until the talents and per-
severance of Mr. SAniou developed their existence, and
at the same time their cure.--(Cheers.) He, there-
fore, hoped every exertion would be made to enlarge
its sphere for the relief of human suffering, and the re-
ward would be the benedictions of the destitute and
friendless.—(Cheers.)
Vstes of thanks were then given to Mr. Ogden,
the Secretary, the Treasurer, and Mr. Salmon, the
founder and surgeon of the Institution, and to the
Chairman ; then the meeting separated. •
