GRE VILI.E-STREET HOSPITAL.

The Thirteenth Anniversary of this Institution, was cele-
brated yesterday, at the London Tavern, and we have great
pleasure in stating that the room was crowded to excess. On
no previoas occasion have we semi such a number of ardent
supporters of this ho'pital. Lord Robert Grosvenor was in
the Chair, and was supported by many friends of the Charity.
Among others Lord Bolton, Lord Crewe, Sir R. Glynn,
Major York Scarlett, Alston, Esq., M.P., Wilbra-
ham, Esq., M.P., Captain De Saumanex, Rev. Dr. Rico,
Dr. Graham.

On the cloth being removed, the Noble CUAIAMAN gave
" Her Majesty. the Queen, the patroness of the Hospital."—
(Loud cheers.) The neat toast was " Prince Albert and the
Princess Royal ;" and in proposing the toast the Chairman
said he felt bound to make some allusion to the reports
which had appeared in the papers reseeding Prince Albert's
health. As they all knew, he had the best information on that
point, and he was happy to state that the reports were entirely
without foundation, and that the Consort of the Queen never
was in Letter health.—(Great cheering.) Ho then gave the
first subject in the land, " Queen Adelaide," which was fol-
lowed by the " Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal
Family"--( Loud cheers, mixed with cries of "theßoyal Family
in. England")—which was put by the Toastmaster, amidst ge-
neral applau,e.
Lord R. GROSVENOR said, in rising to propose success
to ,the institution which. they had met that evening to
support, he begged to apologise to them for the very ineffi-
cient manner in which he could perform his duty. He was
labouring'under a severe cold, but that circumstance had not
deterred him from coming forward to aid the work of charity, and lend his assistance to carry into effect
one of the most useful institutions of the metropolis.
The institution was established for the distressed and the
diseased of all classes. Patients required no governors' orders
no letters of introduction—all that was requisite was a '
fade case of destitution. He would not quarrel with other
hospitals for the system they had adopted, but he was happy
to say that since the establishment of the Greville-street Hos-
pital, the accession to other hospitals had become much morn
easy.—(Loud cheers.) He was happy to say also that the
funds were improving, and that while very lately the receipts'
were only 995/., in 1841 they amounted to 4,7001. As a now
building, however, was requisite more funds were still wanted,
and he had: no doubt, from the excellent principle on which the
institution was founded, that these would not bo wanted long.
The toast was received with loud cheers.

The Szen ETA n v then read the Report, from which it ttp-
.
peared that in the course of the last year 12,350 persons 'had
received medical relief, and 1,300 extreme cans had, been
promptly attended to by the medical gentlemen connected with'
the institution. The subscriptions were liberal, among where
the Earl of Eldon subscribed 1001., Lord Robert Grosvenor

51., and many other liberal donatiows, amounting altogether to
about 8001:
Dr. Marsden's health, the founder of the institution, was
proposed, and responded to by the most enthusiastic. applause.
He returned thanks for the honour conferred on him, and stated
briefly the circumstances which turned his mind to the. relief
of the afflicted and diseased poor that were met with in every
street. He was happy tp,say that his efforts had sot been in
vain, and he trusted that he should live to see them crowned
with success. •
More than 200 persons sat down to dinner, and it is but
instiee to the proprietors of the London Tavern to state, that
they made every exertion to accommodate the company. The
dinner and wines were excellent, and the attendance good.
