~!teZot circumstances of realised funds and anticipated increase,
,'lO-'43' Committee have considered themselves required to delay
it:ttger the commencement of the Institution. The necessity for
It4tos ion is every day forcing itself upon their attention. The num-
> I,4lnatics confined at the expense of the several parishes is every
ttteB,43,ltsing, and the operation of the New Poor-law Bill must
Lass, add to the number. That Bill directs a course by which
Nof.-"'‘ Parishes may be compelled to the humanity of providing
eat accommodation for their lunatic poor ; but it affords no
t,_',tsbril towards securing such accommodation. The more stringent
Zlshjation upon parishes, the more important to them should be
mert.len of a local and inexpensive Institution, such as that pro-
tlieti This is obvious, and will undoubtedly force itself upon the
~/14!anding of all such burdened parishes.
ii;teie Committee, impressed with these important censiderations,
,s their proceedings to the general subscribers, and suggest
thrth',!Ltheut any delay, the necessary steps should be taken for the
Icl'aation of the Asylum.
Itte• silteannot close the account of their proceeding# without ex-

gentlemen in the south connected with this part of the country.

YEARLY A COO UTN 6!
The present year is very nearly ended,
And folks begin to count what they've expended.
Yes, ere another year its course commences,
It is a rule to calculate expenses.
Then don't onia, when making up accounts,
And noting down your several amounts,
To number in the year, before it closes,
• The many savings you have made by MOSES.
Take pen in hand, and calculate aright,
And put your estimates in black and white ;
And doubtless you will find in this event
You've sav'd enough to pay a quarter's rent.
Remember what you've sav'd in Spring attire,
And Summer dresses, too, which all admire ;
Remember, too, your garments for the Autumn,
And don't forget your savings when you bought 'em,
Remember what your Winter dresses cost,
And recollect the sums you would have lost.
Take all these various things into account,
And highly pleas'd you'll be with the amount ;
- And you'll determine that, hen this year closes,
You'll deal another year with Messrs. MOSES.
