Dinner at Six o'clock punctually.
The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence
Under 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, and
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
l'undlug. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large
amount.
A reserved fund of upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a
debt of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been
dependent for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer.


This charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the 1
rPulous and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open
L's a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, ant
the i for the pur-
pose of extending its benefits as widely as possible,
sad ministers officiating in the surrounding parishes are invited to
send patients.
Of tho annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing
a Moiety is contributed by the Medical School of University College,
!bout 2,5001, being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital
',.sramittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction.
tat disbursements amount to 5,0001. ; a deficiency of 1,900/. has to
us Provided for every year.
Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an-
nual of supporting the occupants of 50 additional beds is es-
timated at 1,500/. The number of beds which the Hospital is now
'Pable of containing is 200.
The number of patients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were
-Patients, and 508 women in childbirth, attended at their own ha-
"nations ; 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
Of religion which he himself professes.
The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is pro-
moted, and much consequent benefit conferred on the public of all
by the existence of the School of Medicine, of which this Hos.
pital forms so important a branch.
Tickets, One Guinea each, may be had of the Stewards, of the
Treasurer, at the Tavern, at the Hospital, and at the Office of the
University College, London.'
Donations and Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer and
..lgrollowing Bankers : Coutts and Co., 59, Strand—London and
