AINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES
FOR nosrITALs, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR.
All who are professionally conversant with the condition of our
Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as
an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du-
ties.
They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the
nurses, and they find that the patients sutler from faults of those on
whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen-
dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac-
ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt-
ful Influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral-
ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they
receive while in the hospital.
It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found
in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private
families, especially in those o; the middle and lower classes; and
parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom
they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and
administering to their bodily wants.
The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these
evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look
upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of
self-contro', and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for
its trying and painful duties.
'1 he want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as
in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of
persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman
Catholic countties : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found
useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of
professional nurses has worked beneficiaily in England. The Insti-
tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training
Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline
of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object,
not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom
from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea-
vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of
persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To
raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training
which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the
same time essentially a religious training; to hold out, to those who
are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional
position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to
those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give
themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of
labour : these are the means which, as they have been successful
in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng-
land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing,
in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of
improvement.
It is proposed that the Training Institution Would be under the
immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of
England and Ireland, as Master.
That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three
classes : _

1. Those under training as probationers.
2. Those who, alter p4s-ing through the period of probation sa-
tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging
to continue in connexion with the institution for a period of five
years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed
and maintained, and receive a fixe annual stipend, and in return
will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In-
stitution.
At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from
the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and
thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the
Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be-
lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually
raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi-
cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be
likely to set an example whieh can scarcely fail to have a good effect
upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this
as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them-
selves to the training of this Institution.
3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in-
tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are
willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and
poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like
that which v ill be here provided for them.
The management of the Institution will be confided to a council
of twenty-tour members, (exclusive i f the master, who will be
ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England
and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their
own body.

A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments
within four years, or an annual subscription of five guineas, will con-
stitute a Governor.

A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay-
ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas,
will constitute a Donor.

The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub-
mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President
of the Institution.

It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of
York, and the Bishops o f Lielnield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol,
Ripon, and lsorwich.
The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr.
Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti-
tution.
Henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer.

"Q,PECIAL CUSTOMERS."
Li Full many a staff has recently been borne
By special constables, all duly sworn.
Thousands, and tens of thousands, it appears,
Have loyally appeared as volunteers.
Persons of every station, nothing loath,
Have willingly agreed to take the oath;
And who would not at such a time as this,
Aid to protect the great metropolis ?
But what have special constables to do
With MOSES' dress establishment, say you?
I take the hint, and hearing what you've said,
Will touch on special customers instead.
The special customers of MOSES' Mart
Are flocking in, in crowds, from every part.
Great as the constables in numbers are,
These special customers are greater far.
MOSES and SON, as every one admits,
Have ever rendered special benefits.
Their new spring garments, specially designed,
Are fashioned here, exactly to your mind.
MOSES and SON your special notice call,
To articles which bear no fault at all :
Coats, Trowsers, Vests, adapted to the day,
And summer Over-coats, in rare display ;
Which, with the Hosiery, and outfits, too,
Bring special customers each hour to view.
Your favours, then, on MOSES' Mart confer,
Nor fail to be a special customer.

1.11 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuld form au item
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
:hese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYEItWELL'S little

or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
:he above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
'ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
~emphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblinga of the hour, but the study of the author's

iervance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT. —On Friday last, the
14th instant, about five o'clock P.M., as the Tallyho
coach, vi hich had changed horses at Bitta.ford-bridge, 13
miles from Plymouth, was descending a slight dip over
the bridge, the wheel horses suddenly swerved to the
near side, and precipitated one of the passengers sitting
in front of the coach, over the bridge into the ravine be-
low, a fall of thirty feet. The unfortunate gentleman
was speedily taken up senseless, bleeding at the nose,
and apparently dead, by the other passengers and la
bourers on the viaduct. Fortunately, Dr. Butter was
following the coach at the time in his gig, and prompt in
restoring suspended animation by the aid of brandy,
vinegar, and water; but a full hour elapsed before
consciousness returned. The gentleman was undressed,
put into bed, and carefully examined at the inn, where
he is still confined, but not a bone was broken or dislo-
cated, and no further injury, beyond a general stiffness
occasioned by the violent concussion of the fall upon a
soft meadow. The stranger proved to be the 'Rev. Mr.
Hutchinson, of London, going down from Battersea Col-
lege to Maurice-town, Devonport, there to assist the

man residing at Madron, near Penzance, has been con-
fined to his house for a considerable period from a fear-
ful attack of paralysis. He had recourse to the best
medical aid but to no purpose, as in such cases the usual
treatment never does any good, he then resolved upon
using Holloway's ointment and pills, and to the surprise
of all who knew his deplorable state, these wonderful
medicines alone have restored him to perfect health and
the complete use of his limbs. These valuable medicines

joymeut of health, when she was suddenly attacked
with paralysis, which, in a few days, terminated her

EXECUTION OF WILLIAM BATES.
The convict William Bates, the highwayman, was
executed on Saturday at Chester. It will be recol-
lected that at the recent Chester Assizes, William
Bates, aged 20, and John Walmsley, aged 20, were
convicted of highway robbery and murder under cir-
cumstances of great atrocity. On the 18th of
February last, a corn-dealer named Enick was re-
turning home from Macclesfield, when he was stopped
by the prisoners, who presented loaded pistols at him
and demanded his money. Enick, being a powerful
man, a desperate struggle took place between them,
but he was eventually overpowered and knocked down
with the butt-end of the pistols,
and lay on the ground
bleeding, when, a labouring man coming up, the
prisoners took to their heels. The news of the out-
rage reaching the ears of some men at an adjacent
farm, who saw the highwaymen cross the fields, they
went in pursuit, and were soon gaining on them,
when
the two suddenly turned round, and presenting each a
brace of loaded pistols, swore they would send any one
to everlasting eternity who dared to follow them.
Their pursuers, however, increasing in
number,
they placed their backs against a fence, and presented
their pistols again at the mob. Two brothers, of the
name of Wyatt, more determined than the rest,
sprang forward to seize them, and were instantly
both shot—Bates shooting William Wyatt in the ab-
domen, and the other Wyatt receiving Walmsley's
fire in his arm. William Wyatt died a few hours
afterwards. The prisoners were instantly secured.
On Thursday a reprieve for Walmsley was received
by Mr. Dunston, the governor of Chester Castle,
during her Majesty's pleasure. Between twelve and
one o'clock in the morning the convict Bates was re-
moved from the castle to the place of execution by the
city sheriff (J. Trevor, Esq.), the Rev. Mr. Carbery,
and a strong body of police unZlet Mr. Bill, the chief
constable.
At eight o'clock the execution took place. The
culprit, when led forth, appeared perfectly firm, and
prayed fervently, being quite penitent. Every neces •
sary preparation being completed, the bolt was with-
drawn, and the wretched man died apparently with-
out a struggle.
There was an immense concourae of persons, hut
the utmost order prevailed.
