The report of Christ's Hospital expresses a hope that
all charitable people will readily contribute to an institu-
tion which is not only of local, but of national good. It
states, also, that the fund originally established for re-
building the whole fabric had been completely exhausted,
and that a very considerable sum had been expended
from the general funds of the charity; but the governors
were ‘silling to hope that the generosity of the public
,ould afford the means of completing the great work,
and prevent the necessity of encroaching further upon
the permanent income of the Hospital, and thereby
diminishing the scope of its usefulness.
ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S HOSPITAL.

Patients admitted, cured, and discharged, during
the last year, 5,419 in-patients ; 17,808 out-
patients ; and 22,088 casualty patients, most

of whom were poor, sick, and .lame persons,
anti many of them, being destitute of all re-
lief, have been supplied with money, clothes,
and other necessaries, to enable tt.ein to re-
turn to their several habitations, amounting
together to ••• ... 45,315

The report, after stating tile necessity of enlarging
the building to meet the additional exigencies, sa)s:
" All fees upon the admission of patients have been abo-
lished, the sisters and nurses placed in situations better
adapted to the nature of their duties, and the accommo-
dation for the in-patients now so extended as to admit
550, while their diet and general comforts have been
very materially improved. The accomplishment of these
objects, so essential to the welfare of the patients, has
occasioned a very heavy increase of annual expenditure.
The Governors, therefore, earnestly represent the strong
claims of this ancient institution on the public."
ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.

There have been cured and discharged from St.
Thomas's Hospital, in Southwark, the last
year, of sick, wounded, maimed, and diseased
persons, 3,552 in-patients, and 41,815 medical
and surgical out-patients, including casua ties,
some of whom have been relieved with money
and necessaries at their departure, to accom-
modate and support them in their journeys to
their several habitations 45,367

The report concludes with a strong appeal to the

relief.
