offices, 44, Craven-street, Strand ; Captain Digby, R.N.,
the chair. Mr. Perceval read the report, which set forth tll
in April, 1849, they had a balance in hand of only 101.
Bd., and subscriptions, donations, &c., received since 111
period to June 1, in the present year, amounted to 2631..7,
6d., making in all 2731. 18s. 2d.; out of which they had e%
pended 2691. 15s. 3d., for rent, printing, salaries, law ,
penses, advertising, &c. &c., which left a balance of only ;
2s. 11d., which sum had gone towards defraying the expensf
of the present meeting, so that the society is now entirely
without any funds at their disposal. The report went on to
show their exertions were as much needed as ever, owing to
the cruel and oppressive manner in which patients were
treated in private asylums in England, compared with whet
they were in France and the Channel Islands. The report
p"
was adopted, and urgent appeals were made by Ca'''.
O'Kelly, Mr. Selby, Mr. Perceval, and several other gel 4
tlemen to the benevolent, to assist the society in vole
present difficulty. A vote of thanks was unanimouslif
passed to the Gallant Chairman, as also to Mr. Perces4.;
for his labours on behalf of the institution, which terminate'
the proceedings.

mittee congratulated the society on the success of its labour'
—on the grant of the charter of incorporation—on the
tension of cottage and garden allotments—and on the pre':
perity of its affairs in detail. The Marquis of Westminster
moved the adoption of the repot t, and passed a warm pane'
gyric on Lord Ingestre, who had induced his brother officer",
to subscribe to the good work of improving the condition 0'
the poor. The time had passed away when young officer!

at the mess-table. Captain Scobell, M.P., seconded the

dressed by the Hon. and Rev. S. G. Osborne, Dr Cumming,

SHEEP IN THE PARRS.—It would be well if 800
moderate restriction were placed upon the admission of flocks
of sheep to the greensward of the fashionable parks of the
metropolis. To the ladies especially the present negligecl
system is fraught with very great inconvenience.
