ASYLUM Fon IDIOTS.

On Tbur•nlay night the teeth anniver•ary of this excel-
lent institution was celebrated at the London Taverr,
Bighop,gate-street. The chair was taken by Lord Mont-
eagle.

on the removal of the cloth, the usual loyal and com-
plimentary toasts were given, and were duly honoured.
His LORDSHIP, in giving the toast of the evaning—i.
" Success and prosperity to the Asylum for Idiots"—
explained the position in which the institution at pre-
sent stood. A freehill estate la i been secured, and
an asylum had been erected which would accommodate
500 persons. It was placed in trust as a school and a
home for the idiot and the imbecile for all time to come,
and its affairs were managed by directors, secretaries,
and a medical staff, who acted gratuitously, and ret-
dered an account of their stewardship to the public.
There were at present 254 patients and pupils in this
establishment, and there were upwards qf 200 applica-
tions for admission; but the funds did not permit of
their reception. In point of fact, 5,0001. was required
for fittings and furniture. A great national home
bad been provided for the idiot, and with rental k-
able success ; but the committee could not avail them-
selves of the increased accommodation without more
assistance from the benevolent. His lordship concluded
by making an earnest appeal to the sympathies of the
company in support of an institution established for the
benefit of those who were subject to the greatest of all
human afflictiOns.

The toast was drunk with three times three, and all
the honours.

The next toast was that of the president, the vice-presi-
dents, the treasurer, and secretary,- which having been
duly honoured,
Sir G. CARROLL returned thanks.

The noble CHantmarr next gave "Prosperity to the
City of London."
Mr. Alderman WIRE returned thank,.
In the course of the evening subscriptions were an.
nounced to the amount of nearly 3,0001.
The musical arrangements, under the direction of Mr.
Ransford, were of a very satisfactory character, and in-
cluded Miss Ransford, Miss Eyles, Mr. Holmes, and
Mr. W. E. Ransford.

The dinner and wines were of the usual excellent
quality.

Several drawings were exhibited, the production of one
of the inmates of the institution, and, as copies, vitro
entitled to rare praise for their fidelity to the originals.
One was sent to her Maje4ty, which Colonel Phipps was
commanded to acknowledge in very flattering terms.
