This Institution was founded in 1828, under the patronage, and
with the express approbation, of his late Majesty King George the
Ms, for the purpose of affording immediate Medical assistance to all
poor persons labouring under malignant diseases, which the Hospitals
and other Establishments are desirous to avoid receiving if possible ;
and it is the distinguishing feature of this Charity, that no letter of
recommendation or other dilatory form is required from the patients;
no obstacle intervenes between their necessity and their instant relief ;
to be poor and diseased is introduction enough.
At the Annual Meeting of the Governors, held on the 25th of
February last, it appeared by the Surgeon's Report, that since the
month of April, 1828, when the Charity was founded, no fewer than
Foua THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDSIII AND FIVE PATIENTS of the particu-
lar class alluded to, have been received and cured at this Institution.
The Committee now, for the first time, make a public appeal to
the benevolence of their countrymen in support of this charity ; it has,
hitherto, remained almost unnoticed and unknown beyond the sphere
' of their own private influence, but the absolute necessity of such a
charity is now so plainly demonstrated, that they no longer hesitate to
ask for such an addition to their resources as shall enable them to re-
ceive in-door patients, upon the same free and unrestricted system, as '
that which has been, hitherto, pursued. For want of indoor accom. -d
mod..tion, the medical officers have been repeatedly under the dis-
tressing necessity of turning away unfortunate creatures, who were
homeless and destitute ; and to whom medicine and advice, in
the absence of shelter and sustenance, would have been utterly
useless. To obviate these painful rejections, a building, ade-
quately fitted up for the purposes of a Fags HOSPITAL,
'is absolutely requisite in a Metropolis like this. The friends of the
Institution cannot doubt that the liberality of a humane and enlightened
public will enable them to accomplish this desirable object, and to give
full effect to their charitable exertions. They feel justified in entertain.
ing this confidence, when they reflect on the good of which those ex-
ertions have already been productive ; the extraordinary support which
they have experienced in the infancy of their Charity ; and the nume-
rous distinguished persons of the highest rank and character who have
acceded to the list of Subscribers. The Committee feel that they can
appeal for support, on strong and peculiar grounds, and not less to the
sound judgment and good sense, than to the humane and benevolent
feelings, of their countrymen.
Every information. with the Annual Report and List of the Go-
vernors, may be obtained at the In,titution, or on application to the
Assistant Secretary, who attends daily, from Two to Four, for that
purpose. An Annnual Donation of One Guinea constitutes a Governor,
and of Ten Guineas and upwards, a Life Governor.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

The Earl of HADDlNG.ToSipresented a petition from certain
freeholders of the couoty of Ralinburgh against the measure for Re-
form. The noble earl said it was not the petition of what was celled
a hole-and-corner meeting, but that of a meeting held in' the County
HaIL The petitioners were not opposed to the principle of Reform
in Parliament, but they prayed the bill may not pas into a law, be-
cause it made a too sweeping alteration in the right of voting. The
noble earl stated his concurrence in must of the views taken by the pc-
dtioners. The 101. qualification for voters was objectionable, because
it was founded on an unfair estimate of the value of houses, and must
deprive a great mass of persons in Scotland of the elective franebiee.
TAchdl, in short, would destroy the social relations which bad so long
wended In Semlead.
IIidoLSOMERRY said the petitioners were Impeccable,
but sees of them had no power, fa the tem, of litiliebusek, sod
many who had property in the county were t at the,meeting.
The noble earl sated to the house that mosi:Vdrelle7reat county meet-
ings were attended by a few individuals. In one of the largest counties
in Scotland, with a population of 140,000, the county meeting did nut
consist of more than eighty or ninety persons, and whew the question
was put to the vote 58 only were for it and 32 against it. Having given
a description of what Scotch county meetings really are, he called upon
their lordships to judge whether the petitions thus voted could convey
the sense of the landed proprietors. The noble earl was convinced,
from his knowledge of Scotland, that the reform bill would be gladly
received. It would improve the people of Scotland, and amend the
state of election.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCH was certain that the real nature or ex.
tent of the supposed benefit to be conferred by the Reform Bill was not
properly understood by the generality of the populatioo of Scotland.
Many persons imagined by that bill they would be entitled, not only to
vote for representatives of boroughs, but also of counties ; that thew
would he no more excisemen, and that they would have whiskey almost
for nothing, with many more advantages equally absurd. Much riot
and confusion had nlrvaily taken place in Scotland consequent on the
reform measure ; he should only allude to the disturbances in Edinburgh
on occasion of the late illuminations in that city.
EARL of ROSEBER RV explained.
After a few words from Lord MON r A GuE, which were inaudible
below the bar,
The Duke of WELLINGTON observed, that no part of his
Majesty's dominions, for the last 60 or 00 years, bad been in so pro-
gressive a state of prosper-4 as Scotland. The late Lord Liteepool
had said respecting that country, that in every respect it web the best
conditioned under the Crown, yLt into it ministers were to introduce a
system which the petitioners considered as one of misrule. Berme such
a system was brought forward, he contended it was the bounden duty
of his Majesty's Ministers first to have consulted the great landed pro-
prie-ors of Scotland.
Lord KING observed, that the meetiaAs at which petitions for Re.
form were got up, he thought were no farces.
The Marquis of LA NSDOWNE said, he had a petition to pre-
sent praying for Pathimentary Reform, and approving of tor •
measure before the other House. The petition was signed by 9,010
of the principal merchants, bankers, traders,, and where, in the City
of London; in shalt, it was signed by eitht r enne-tenths of all the
individuals who were connected with the tale and commerce ot the
metropolis. The Noble Duke opposite (Wellington), on a former oc-
casion, bed observed that the measure of Reform now before Patel.
mint was calculated to produce great contusion in the country. Now
be (the Marquis of. Lansdowne) could state, on the best of informs.
lion, that there did not exist in this or any other country a elan) who
wished more for a continuation of traarpulkty than did the yeti.
timers ; indeed they were proverbially sensitive at all times—en
every subject which could, by possibility, tend to disturb the public
peace.__( Hear.)
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said be wished to put one or
two questions to the noble earl at the head of the government respecting
the measure of reform now before the country. That noble earl bad
sated he should either stand or fall by that meapure I and that neither
the noble earl, DUI any of the members of his Majesty's government,
should alter in any way the principle of that bill. It had been stated
that an actual necessity existed fur reducing the number of abe member,
of the other house of parliament, because they were inconveniently large.
Lord MANSFIELD rose to order. The noble marquis was dis-
cussing the merits ot a bill not before their lordship's house.
The blarquis of LONDONDERRY said he stood corrected.
The Earl of Iti •eSLYN observed, that it was a very inconvenient
course to debate any matters growing out of a loose report.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY resumed. He wished to know
whether the sixty-two members that were now proposed to be added t
the representation of the other house of Parliament, were they to be like
so many batik-notes in the possession of ministers, doled out to the right
or the left as they thought proper? Such an alteration lie conceived as.
a change of principle ; In short, the bill became a new bill. He here.
fore begged to ask the Noble Earl (Grey) if it were the invention of
ministers to retain the bill as originally proposed ?

HOUSE OF I.ORDS, Aran. 14.

Sir A. Grant and other 3lembers from the Commons, brought up
the Indemnity Bill and several private bills.

MEEK SILL.
The Earl of MA LM ESBUItY rose to move for returns of the num-
ber of licenses taken out under the new Beer Bill, distinguishing the
number in each county. The noble lord complained of the disturbance's,
immorality. and great inconvenience, occasioned by the facility which
the Bill afforded for drinking. In all parts of the country the drunken-
ness and profligacy of the lower classes might be traced to these beer-
shops. An the subject must soon occupy the attention of their lordships,
ho was desirousof obtaining some information by which they might be
able to judge of the advantage derived by the Revenue from the opera-
tion of the act. According to the reports of the magistrates, made in
pursuance of the Government circular, it was obvious the measure
had produced a most pernicious effect. The Noble Earl concluded by
moving there be laid upon the table of the house a return of the num-
bet of licenses taken out for the sale of beer under the Act of the llth
of Geoige Its'. cap. 644 distinguishing the number taken out in each
county during the last 6 mouths, ending in December 1830. Likewise
a return of the number of bushels of malt which paid duty within the
same period.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he did not see any objection to
the noble lord's motion. Ou a former night when a Right Reverend
Prelate presented a petition against the beer bill, he took occasion to
say souse disturbances had occurred under the operation of the bill, in
the West of Englaud, but In the North of England, where he was more
acquainted with the populmion, nothing of the kind occurred. The
bill sanctioned a departure from an old to a new system, and some Ir.
regularity had been anticipated. There was still u deal of information
wanting on the subject, and it would be better to wait for that informs-
tion, before they ventured to legislate too suddenly. The noble and
learned lord was disposed to think the discussion which had already
taken place would have a salutary effect, and prove a check on the
keepers of these houses.
The Earl of CARNARVON said there could be no doubt that
these beer-houses encouraged vice and immorality. They were kept
open in the country beyond the time allowed by the Act, and it was
difficult to check that abuse. The noble earl admitted that the govern.
went ought to make inquiry before Parliament was called again to le-
gislate on the subject ; but he would suggest to his noble and learned
friend that the evil was daily increasing, and that delay ought to be
avoided. He was no friend to rapid changes, as his noble and learned
fliend well knew ; but if any remedy was to be applied, the sooner it
was resorted to the better. Was the Act a boon to the country, or was
it an injury ? He considered it no boon, and if any thing was to be
done, his hope was it might be done this Parliament. If there was to
be a new Parliament, the noble earl was of opinion no change would
take place.
Lord SKELSIERSDA LE had no wish to prolong the discussion,
but he could not avoid directing the attention of their lordships to the
meetings held by the alagistrates of Lancaster and othet countiest, to
take into consideration what proceedings ought to be adopted with
respect to these beer-houses. The reports from the Magistrates cer-
tainly pointed out the necessity of an alteration at least in the provi-
sions of the act.

Earl OREY said, that the whole course of the noble Marquis's pro.
c:cdinp was irregular, as stated by the noble Rail (Mansfield) oppo.
she ; but although irregular, he should not avail himself of any point
of order as a reason for withholding an answer. The noble Marquis
awed that he (Earl Grey) had mid he should ci her stand or fall by
the bill for Reform now before the house of parliament. The noble
Marquis had stated his words correctly ; and to the full extent he now
repeausl, for the satisfaction of the noble Marquis, that he and his
colleagues should either stand or fall by the principle of that
inea•ure. (Hear, hear, hear.) But the noble Marquis should
recollect when that statement was made, his Majesty's Ministers
had not the presumption, upon a question of so great an extent
to suppose that certain alterations, although not bearing on the merits
of the Bill, would not be necessary ; the principle of the Bill was to
render the representation of the country as complete and perfect as pos.
sible ; and for that purpose certain boroughs were to be cut off in order
that others might return efficient constituents to the House of Com.
mans. The noble marquis must excuse him (Earl Ore)/ for saying, that
he did conceive great advantage would be derived from reducing the num.
ber of the members of the other house of parliament, and that was no
new opinion of his, for at the time of the enactment of the Union
with Ireland he saw the inconveniency of the number, and brought
forward a motion which had for its object to reduce the number of
reptesentatives one hundred; still he must observe that the cheap
'poker of did tot affe:t the principle of the bill ; but at the same time
it was not the intention of Ins Majesty's ministers to make up the de.
fir:l(Tc) let qten Schcd,olt A. and Schedule B. to 668, the present
courier of representatives; if. however, the House of Commons should
cleft at his Majesty's ministers on that point, he was not prepared sassy
thus th• bill would, even in that case, be abandoned. (Hear, hear.)
in conclusion, he (Earl Grey) considered himself as pledged to the
prioriple .1 the bill ; from it he should not delimit, but should stand
or fall by it. (Hear.)
Earl CARNA RVON contended that the very persons who were
to be entrancished—vix. the 101. voters, were those who, in almost
every instance, were brought to their lordship's bar accused of bribery
in the East Retford affair. Toe measure of Reform, in its progress
through the Commons House of Parliament, appeared to him (the
Earl of Ca vaco') very unsatwfactory. It appeared u if superannuated
schoolboys had been chosen to furnish materials for its basis, in the
manner as the budget had been concocted. (A laugh from the Opposi.
tion.) l'here appeared also to be a great deal too much haste evinced
in carrying on tie measure. It was treated with as little consideration
as if It we.e a eI.MIU.III turnpike.rosd bill. It was neither more nor
less than a wholesale dealing with the settled institutions of the
country. Instead of haste Balled for calm deliberation of Parliament,
lie contended that all absence for a demand of the vote by ballot by
the partisans of Reform, and for a repeal of the legislative Union by the
agitators, was only a sort of truce for the time; these questions would
again be brought forward, admitting that the present bill was carried.
The noble curl and his colleagues, in their march of Reform, were sup-
ported by the twopenny mot, by all the sedition and blasphemy of the
country; in short,he was obliged to confess that the noble earl remineed
him of the Necker of the Freneh Revolution. The noble earl (Carnar-
von) entreated his Majesty's Ministers to proceed with caution and de.
liberation—the events taking place in the world around them called
upon them to pause in their proceedings.
The Bishop of BRISTOL could not concur in the measure of /,.
film which had been brought forward. With respect to the petition
crow under discussion, he was persuaded it did not express the real semi.

The LOUD CH ANCELLOR said he gave away on a former occa-
sion, to what be considered weighty authority, and abandoned his for-
mer measure. It was with great delicacy• he mentioned any thing
about that treasure; but he thought it necessary to add, without east•
ing the slightest imputation on Magistrates of counties who had re.
ported against the bill, that they appeared biassed spinet it. The mea-
sure went to take away the only patronage which justfees of the peace
bad in the country, and really it was a valuable patronage, namely,
that of granting licences. (Hear, hear.) He did not mean to say
these worthy persons had reported improperly against the bill ; but
as long as man was man, there would be a feeling In behalf of pe-
culiar interests, and Parliament ought to receive their reports upon
the subject with suspicion.
Lord SKELMERSDALE Explained.
Lard MALMESBURY was convinced that the magisirsess ware
