Dinner at Six o'clock punctually.
The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence
Mader circumstances of more than usual urgency.
It is now two years since the last festival.
During that time, while the prevalence of epidemic disease and
general distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, rid
the cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by
high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans
for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the
building. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large
amount.
A reserved fund of upwards of 5,000/. has been exhausted, and a
debt of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been
dejsetwent. for Its Maiatenance on a loan from the Treasurer.

This charity, besides providing reliet in sickness for the poor of the
Populous and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open
as a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur-
Dose of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymea
2,11 ministers officiating in the serrounding parishes are invited to
'Mad patients.
Of the annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing
a moiety is contributed by the Medical School of University College.
about 2,5001. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital
V,,,,avemittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction.
"the disbursements amount to 5,0001. ; a deficiency of 1,900/. has to
`.'e Provided for every year.
Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an-
nual expense of supporting the occupants of 50 additional beds is es-
',mated at 1,5001. The cumber of beds which the Hospital is now
capable of containing is 200.
The number of patients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were
4-Patients, and 508 women in childbirth, attenthod at their own ha-
bitations ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as
Casual applicants.
A clergyman of the Church of England officiates as chaplain, but
every patient is allowed to have the advice of a minister of that form
bfrelighn which he himself professes.
The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is pro-
Meted, and much consequent benefit conferred on the public of all
classes by the existence of the School of Medicine, of which this Iles.
