NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE INFIRMARY.

IT is a welt. known fact, that most of the Infir-
mary Insttutions in the kingdom are only sustained
*nd kept dp to Mir full extent of operation by extraordinary
means, or etlorts, after particular exigencies, or periods of
vxtiaordiaary pressure. Therefore, in a riew Institution of
this description, it seenis of the utmost importance to arrange
a Mau, which shall nut leave it entirely dependent on due-
blaring support; but that. will provide within itself the
means of fixing the same on a solid and lasting foandation.
'With this view an Accumulating Fund is suggested, as an
appendage to the North Staffordshire Infirmary, upon the
following principle

" Inel-tiding Mr. Whalley's Legacy of 1001. which is placed at
the appropriation of the Committee, Six Hundred Pounds
ore already specifically subscribed to a Permanent Fund; but
if it remains on its present touting, the amount of benefit to
the Institution, from that Fund, will not exceed 801. annu-
ally, for the Interest of the money; and consequently' the de-
taching- such Interest, fur the present, will make no more
than that -difference .in the extent of, the operation of• the
Iphroutry, which_ could hardly be felt, one way or the
other, on a sealeof expellee 'from 15J01. to '2OOl. a year.
, Now as fears for•the perpetuity of the Institution have been
expressed by some of the SnbscriberS, a confidence may be in-
dulged, that a measure which has for its object the removal
')f those apprehensions, will have their ready support. An
addition of in per cent.' apoti- the Donations already made
.Saud the affluent may • probably be induced to bestow in a
greatei ratio) would- raise the proposed Fund to One Thou-
sand Pounds and, upwards, and give permanency. and per-
petuity to the former libi!ralitv of the p„rties. Let this
'lt.n -.he vest rd unalienitbly in. Trustees, for the purpose of
accumulation of seventy years (which must arrive, and is
uo lang• period in a charity of this description), and the
Ldlowing will be. the result of its own, operation, calculating
interest at fire- per cent. without any dependence on ma-
sYgetnent •
At the end of 15 years (which allows for
intervals for irevestment) it will hecotne:L2ooo
At the end of thirty years - 4000
At the end of forty-five- years' - 6000
At the end of fifty years - - - 10,000

if, as is proposed, a discretionary power is vested in the
Govern Ors, then to anly '2oooh .eithef to extend the scale,
yr to meet the exigencies of the Institution, and , such 'Jewee
be exercised, it would stilt leave BVOOI. as the amount
of the Fund at that period, ;which

At the eilcl of 15 years further, or GS ye a rS-
how the neginnint.t-, would give - ILIG,OOO
And at the cud 0110 years, would be 20,000

This. is proposed, to ;be the limit of accumulation, and in
tase more than 10001. is raised, or Legacies or other Dona-
should be given 'to this' obj'ect, its attainment would,
la:course, be proportionably aceelerat ed. Thus, by, withdraw-
Lig only 301. a year, in the_ ol!itsk 6f the Institution, a per-
r_qoal income of One Thousand Pounds' a-year would be
ultimately secured. This would be about one-half of the pro-
tahle expenditure of the Infirmary upon an. extensive scale
el usefulness, and consequently a middle 'cours would be
Wi'verctl ;' TOE whilst on the one hand, a solid pernwent
come, in part, would he provided, on the other band, a suf-
teient i.ange would still he left fur the henevolence of its own
• 114. y in reference to this important Charity.
