FAILURE OF AN HosrlTAL—The hospital of St.
John and St. Elizabeth, Great Ormond-street,
which was founded in 1856, has just been closed by the
unanimous resolution of the committee, Lord Petre ix the
chair. Mr. Pope Hennessy moved, and Count Wezele se-
conded, that the words "nothing herein contained is to be
construed as an extinction in perpetuity of the hospital,"
should be added to the resolution, but this was negatived.
Previous Previous to cloning the hospital the committee applied
Archbishop Manning to consider what changes were
ne-
cessary to restore the hospital to a state of efficeidenteny..asnod
to carry such changes into effect, but he declined d

of the hospital has been seriously curtailed, and seeing no

sent home, or removed to lodgings, and one child taken
charge of by a charitable lady. Sir G. Bowyer has circu-

report of the committee, in which he strongly condemns
the management of the charity by the committee, and stig-
matises the closing of the hospital as "cruel, unwise, and
mischievous."
