ALEXANDER .MARSDEN,
The CIIAIRIIAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
expressed his gratification at its extremely satisfactory
nature, and referred at sore length to the inestimable
qualities of the institution. Some time back, if a case of
cancer was found at any one of our hospitals, the poor
sufferer Was told his case was incurable, and, conse-
quently, not admitted, but when this institution was
founded it was proved that by the constant application
of the skill of the medical officers the disease was to be
reached, and not only that, but it was to be cured. It
had also been asserted that the disease could not be
treated in a separate hospital with success, but he thought
that was controverted by the facts which were shown
every year in the reports of the Cancer Hospital. He was
happy that the committee of management had agreed to
increase the accommodation of the hospital for in patients,
and with that view they had bought a piece of freehold
land well adapted for the purpose of erecting a new hos-
pital. Plans had been drawn up, and the new building
would accommodate 53 patients. They were not going
to stop there, but irtendtd to go on until the building
would hold 300 ; and he wished to live to see the day
' when their institution, which, as it were, had started
from a grain of mustard seed, had reached that promi-
nent position. That it would be carried out there is no
doubt. The first part of the new hospital would cost
about 8,000/., and through the kindness of Miss• 'Bur-
dett Callas they had 3,0001., so that a similar amount
was all that would be required to set the works going,
and when that desirable object was considered he thought
there would be no ciifficu!ty in getting that amount. In
conclusion, he begged to thank the whole of the medical
staff and other officers for their assiduous attention to
promote the welfare of the institution.

Mr. HLLSWELL seconded the motion, which was car-
ried.

Thanks were then voted to the committee of manage-
ment and the medical officers. In reply to the latter,
Dr. MARSDEN assured the meeting that his colleagues
and himself would do all in their power to carry out the
intention of the subscribers and the committee of
macagement. They had found that some of the diffl-
culties that formerly attended their pursuits were begin-
ning to diminish, and their task was now more easy.
There was a time when cancer was hardly known except
by name, but since this institution had been founded the
attention of the whole of the profession had been drawn
to it, and if the profession had been induced to take the
matter up, then, if they did nothing else, they might core
gratulate themselves on having done that much. He
never could understand how it could be said that any
disease was incurab!e. He did not believe there was any
malady foi. which our Creator bad not provided a remedy.
His opinion was that they were in the right path, and that
ere long this dreadful affliction would be better under-
stood and the majority of cases treated successfully.
The various officers were elected, with thanks for their
past services, and the usual c Anpliment to the chairman
brought the proceedings to a close, several subscrir ions
having been previously announced to the building fund.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.
THE HARVEST.

Since 182 G there has not been so favourable a
season as the present, and a week or so morn of the
brilliant weather we have had during August is all
that is now wanted to realise the prospect of an
early and abundant harvest. There are no longer
any complaints of failure in the potato crop, the
symptoms of blight which bad shown themselves in
some localities in the course of last month having
quite disappeared. The following report is ex-
tracted from the Cork papers of yesterday :
" This week has been for harvest purposes all
that could be desired. A little rain, indeed, fell
in the early portion,-but fur the most put we have
had days hotter than we experienced since the
summer began. The golden tinge -which only
showed upon the corn fieds a short time ago has
now been exchanged for the-brown stubble. Not
only have the grain fields ripened in abundance and
healthiness ''eroater than has for a long time been
remembered, but they are coming to a maturity
with a rapidity that took farmers alm-.st by sur-
prise. The consequence is that the harvest has
been gathered in with extraordinary rapidity, and
a tremendous amount of new corn has been added
to our granaries within the past week. We are
happy to be able t say that Kerry has almost en-
tirely escaped the blight which atackel the crop in
the county of Cork, the only place there affected
being a limited locality in the neighbourhood of
Dingle. The green crops which were a short
time ago in a very bad state have recovered a good
deal under the influence of the recent rains." ,
Mr. Jaynes Clapperton, an eminent practical agri-
culturist, in his last weeky report in the Leinster
Express, a ays

" A greater, a more sudden, or a more general
revolution in harvest operations was, perhaps, never
before Nritnessed in any kingdom than is being
laudably manifested in (queen's and Kildare coun-
ties at the present Ili:lie, or a more wholesome tone,
a more energetic or a more enterprising spirit could
sf3arcely ;pervade the face of the agricultural com-
munity than is b?itpy, practically exemplified from
gentlemen of exalted, rank down to the smalleat
farmer. Gentleinen, stewards; farmers, and, in not
a few cases, labourers, are to be seen scouring the
country from one gentleman's d.omesne to another,
and from one farmer to another, to ascertain where
the harvest operations are being carried int) effect
with the greatest efficiency, upon the cheapest scale,
with the greatest despatch, and with the least un-
necessary impeuditure of physical power.",
