accommodation of the daily increasing number of appli-
cants for relief, it was therefore determined to make a
public appeal to obtain a fund, which would enable the
managers to take larger premises, and to erect such a
suite of baths as were necessary to carry out the cura-
tive process required by the numerous patients, and so
as to enable them to apply the healing and alleviating re-
medies to the necessities of their poor and afflicted fellow
creatures. At this juncture of the charity, the committee,
induced by the cause of humanity, had exceeded the
means of their disposal, and the appeal they had made
on behalf of the charity fell short of its object, when,
through Divine Providence, the charity became known
to Mr. Edward Moxhay (through a patient who, after
years of suffering, had been effectually relieved by its
means,) who, with his usual desire to do good—his
promptness and foresight, submitted the history of the
Institution, for the first time, to that great philanthropist,
Samuel Gurney, Esq. This gentleman personally ac-
quainted himself with the particulars and merits of the
Institution ; and after a careful examination of its ob-
jects and details, expressed himself satisfied of its great
utility, and of his desire and determination to afford it
his best support. This benevolent and truly highly-
minded individual, instantly placed at the disposal of a
newly organised Committee sufficient funds to take the
present very convenient premises occupied by the Insti-
tution, and to erect thereon a suite of baths for the
gratuitous use of the patients, so as to enable the Com-
mittee to carry out all the objects contemplated by the
original promoters of the charity.
" It will be evident to all well wishers of this Institu-
tion that all this has not been accomplished without con-
siderable outlay.
" In stating this, the committee have a grateful plea-
sure in acknowledging that the different parties em-
ployed in placing the building in Bridge-street in its
present state of efficiency, influenced by the most cha-
ritable feelings, have, in addition to the honorary officers
of the Institution, gratuitously given up their time and
services to the promotion of the interests of this most
useful charity.
" It will be apparent by this report that the Institution
has effected a great amount of relief to that portion of
their fellow-creatures who suffer the most because they
can least afford the means of obtaining relief, and also
evident that a great amount of expenditure has been in-
curred. The latter the Committee hare a full confi-
dence the present meeting will amply enable them to
meet.
The Committee now feel that it is their duty to express
their thanks to the Noble Chairman, the Lord Viscount
Sandon, M.P., for the honor and countenance he has this
day conferred upon them and the Institution, by presiding
at its first anniversary, and they most earnestly ap-
peal to the meeting to respond to his Lordship's
generous and kind advocacy of the Institution, by libe-
ral pecuniary assistance and kind co-operation, with the
certainty that the infant charity they are thus fostering
will, to use the emphatic words of the President, Samuel
Gurney, Esq., enable them to do the most good at the
least cost, that is attached to any charitable institution
with which he is acquainted.' This fact, it is believed,
will appear from the medical report for the past year,
which will be now read by the Honorary Surgeon,
James Startin, Esq."
Mr. J. STARTIN, surgeon to the Institution, then read

TATTERSALUS.—YESTERDAY.
The Goodwood Stakes engrossed nearly the whole
business of the afternoon ; it extended over ;tn extensive
field, but, in its final results, presented very few altera-
tions. The chief outlay was on the Libel, Pythia, Warp,
Venus, Queen blab, Glossy, and Extravaganza, the odds
against each, with the exception of the last two, agreeing
very closely with those quoted on Monday. Queen blab
and Pythia were decidedly most in request. Glossy
began at 30 to 1, and at those, and rapidly diminishing
odds, was backed to win a large stake. Extravaganzs.s
first price was 50 to 1, the last 35 to 1, layers. lEgis
was backed at 16, 18, and 20 ; Wee Pet at 20 and 25 to it
and Europa at 1,000 to 30. The Liverpool and Good'

tioned, but nothing done worthy of remark. Closing

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE MANCHESTER

LEEDS RAILWAY STATION.—On Thursday afternoon, a Man
Josiah Purton, in the service of the Manchester and Lee," di
way Company, was crushed between the buffers of two
waggons at the Oldham-road station, and died within half 0,0
afterwards. He was forty.four years of age, and has left *
and five children. At the inquest, which was held befoterod,

—Manchester Guardian.

"It will be observed by a reference to the numerical
report for the past year, that fewer patients are under
treatment now than was the case at that period, not
withstanding the daily increase of new patients, an
average of sixty a week being at this time entered on
the books.
_ _

" This gratifying fact is to be attributed to the curative
effect derived from the very excellent suite of baths now
attached to this charity ; for it may be mentioned that
the Institution contains twenty-five baths, and that each
may be used twice in an hour ; so that (if the bounty
of the hot water from the Apothecaries' Company be
not withheld), arrangements are made for the daily ad-
ministration of some hundreds of hot and cold baths,
each sex being provided with distinct accommodation
and attendants. _ _

"These baths may be medicated so as to resemble any
known mineral water; there are also shower, vapour, and
hot air, or fume baths, which admit not only of having
their temperature raised or depressed at pleasure, but
their effects may be modified by various mineral and
vegetable substances, according to the nature and re-
quirements of the patient's malady.
" With respect to the hot air or fume baths, this perhaps
forms one of the most potent agents in the cure of cuta-
neous disorders, as by its means the surface of the
pcient's body is exposed to a heat of 140 to 180 degrees
of Fahrenheit, and when in this state of excitement,
whilst every pore is exhaling its vitiated secretion, the
absorbing power of the skin being proportionally in-
creased, exactly regulated quantities of the most power-
ful remedies may be applied, in their most minute state
of subdivision, that of gas or vapour.
" It may be necessary to observe that by this means
the most obstinate and afflictive hereditary diseases of
the skin admit of greater relief than by any other known
method.
" This apparatus for both sexes, with the entire suite
of baths, forming the charit ‘bic bathing establishment at-
tached to the Institution, will be found in unrivalled per-
fection, affording to your medical officere, and the indigent
sufferers under their care, new, useful, and readily available
remedies, which have been so welcomed by the afflicted
for whose benefit your generosity hes furnished them,
that the number of patients profiting by their use since
they were opened three months ago has been 771, and it
must be borne in mind that (funds permitting) this
number ie but a tithe of what can be accomplished.
" It may also be gratifying to mention that a charity-
box placed in the bathers' waiting-room has contained
91. 7s. 9d. from small contributions since the opening of
the baths, and, as a further example of the estimation in
which this establishment is held, I beg to read a letter
received from the Secretary of the Royal Humane So-
ciety, accepting the offer of the baths, should they be re-
quired in any case of suspended animation occurring in
the neighbourhood of the Institution."

" Sir,—Having submitted to a meeting of the Direc-

ult., I am instructed to convey through you, to the
Committee of the London Cutaneous Institution, their
warmest thanks for the very considerate offer of the free
use of the suite of hot baths of that charity in cases re-
quiring them occurring near Blackfriars-bridge.

report, and remain, Sir, your obedient servant,

" Finally, I beg to inform this meeting that, with the
sanction of the Committee and my medical brethren, it
is-my intention to admit students, under necessary regu-
lations, to witness the medical and surgical practice of
the Institution ; and that I shall, in October next, com-
mence a course of clinical lectures on the diseases for
which this charity is specially founded.

Sir EDWARD BUXTON, in a short, but eloquent speech,
proposed the health of the Chairman.

The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said that his
notice had been first directed to the institution by the
attacks which had been made upon it in the public
press, and finding on inquiry that the institution had
been unjustly attacked, and that it was an institution
worthy of support, he had felt bound to come forward
and support it.—(Loud cheers.) He would now pro-
pose the health of the medical officers of the institution.
Drank with three times three.
Dr. HODGKIN, and Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, returned
thanks.
The Hon. Secretary, BOYEB MARTIN, Esq., then read

from S. Gurney ,Esq., of 501., amounted to 6991. 15s.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the " Health of T.

Mr. T. HANKEY, in returning thanks, alluded, in

Moxhay, of the Hall of Commerce, on behalf of this In-
stitution. Indeed, Mr. Moxhay might be called its
founder, for, had it not been for his exertions, it would
not now have been in existence. It was Mr. Moxhay
who had drawn the attention of Mr. Gurney, jun., to
the merits of this Institution, and through him they had
acquired the valuable support of Mr. S. Gurney. He
