HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AT BROMPTON.—
(From a Correspondent.)—Benjamin Bond Cabbel, Esq.,
whose name appears so conspicuous in almost every
metropolitan charity, has qualified himself life governor
by the handsome donation to the hospital of thirty
guineas. It is expected that the new building now in
progress will be ready for the admission of patients
early in the ensuing year. The recent munificent dona-
tion of the sum of two hundred guineas, in addition to a
previous donation of one hundred, from the Rev. E. Hol-
land and Mrs. Holland, of Hyde Park, added to the suc-
cessful exertions of the Rev. Robert Montgomery, M.A.,
both at Ramsgate and at Cheltenham, afford and en-
courage the most cheering prospect to the benevolent
founders of this much required metropolitan institution.
DEATH OF A DRUNHARD.—SHOCKING DEPRA-
VITY.-Mr. Wm. Carter, coroner, held an inquest on
Tuesday last, at the Royal Standard, Harpur-street,
New Kent-road, on the body of Wm. Harris, aged 44,
who died under the following circumstances :—James
Humphries, of 14, Harpur-street, said that deceased
lodged in kis house. He was by trade a gas-fitter, and
had been in an extensive way of business, but during the
last two years had been leading a very irregular life. At
the death of his mother, two years since, he received
575/., the whole of which he had squandered away in gin
and other intoxicating liquors. He was a constant visi-
tor of the principal public-houses in the neighbourhood.
During the time his money lasted he was scarcely sober
a day. His unfortunate wife was an inmate of St.
Mary's, Newington, and his son, who is only 13 years
old, is as confirmed a drunkard as his father. Last
Tuesday morning he left home in his usual state of
health, but returned in half an hour, and said he was
going to his workshop to sell off his tools. Witness
neither heard nor saw any more of him until he was
called to by the son, when he appeared to be in a fit. He
continued in a state of insensibility until Thursday last,
when he died. Alfred Harris, the son alluded to by the
last witness, said his father proceeded to his work-room
on the day in question, for the purpose of collecting toge-
ther his tools, which he was going to sell to a broker ;
whilst in the act of stooping he fell forward on his face.
A surgeon was sent for, and deceased was removed to
his lodgings. A juror remarked that he had; seen the
witness as drunk as the deceased. He had seen him
drink a quart of ale at a draught, and he had frequently
been carried home in a state of intoxication.. Thhee Co-
