THE FISTULA INFIRMARY.

A numerous and influential meeting of the sub-
scribers to this excellent institution was held at the
London Tavern, for the transaction of special
business. Sir Chapman Marshall was, in the ab-
sence pf the Lord Mayor, who had to attend a
meeting of the Common Council, unanimously called
to the chair. The honorary secretary, Mr. S. B.
Merriman, read letter from Mr. Howell, who
communicated in it his resignation as treasurer
of the charity. Mr. Howell stated he exceed-
ingly regretted that frequent absence from Eng-
land, and a feeling that he could not adequately dis-
charge the duties of his office, induced him to resign.
lie, however, though officially retiring from their
valuable institution, should always feel a deep inte-
rest in its welfare, and contribute to its support.
The resignation of Mr. Rowell having been ac-
cepted, and a vote of thanks passed to him for the zea-
lous and liberal assistance he had at all times afforded
the institution, it was unanimously resolved, " That
J. Masterman, Esq., M.P., be requested to accept
the office of treasurer." Mr. Masterman, in returning
thanks, said he had, for many years past, had the
gratification of witnessing the great advantage de-
rived by the poorer classes from the Fistula Infirmary,
and the great kindness and skill of its excellent
founder and honorary surgeon, Mr. Salmon. The
chairman then stated that their esteemed friend, Mr.
Ogden, who had for the last twentyyears acted as their
honorary secretary, was about to retire into the country,
where he would permanently reside amongst his friends.
That gentleman had in consequence resigned kis office,
very much to the regret ofevery friend of the institution.
The vacancy had been filled up by the Committee,
and their new honorary secretary, Mr. Merriman,
who was lending his able and active exertions in
promoting the welfare of their charity, was now
present at his post. After a warm tribute of
praise to Mr. Ogden, the cordial thanks of
the meeting were voted to that gentleman, and
it was further resolved that such vote should
be presented to him emblazoned on vellum. In
accordance with a recommendation of the Committee
of the charity, the meeting resolved that a honorary
physician to the Infirmary should be appointed. A-
vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, who, in
acknowledging it, spoke in strong terms of the great
value of the Fistula Infirmary, and the great bless-
ings it had conferred upon the poorer and industrious
classes of the metropolis. The meeting then broke
up. We understand that the sum subscribed for the
purpose of presenting the founder and honorary sur-
geon of this valuable charity, Mr. Frederick Salmon,
with a testimonial of the esteem in which he is held by
the friends of the Institution, already exceeds 7001.
