ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD.—

Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., M.P., has signified his inten-
tion of presiding at the forthcoming anniversary dinner. The
cause of humanity could not be better advocated, for at the
present moment all the wards are crowded, with the excep-
tion of the Grosvenor ward, capable of accommodating tip.
wards of 100 patients, but with the present pressure upon the
funds of the hospital, the committee of management do not
feel justified in throwing it open.
