THE CURE OF DISEASES OF THE EYE.

Saturday, a numerous and highly respectable Meet-
of the Subscribers to, and Friends of, the above valuable
Institution, took place at the Thatched House, St.
James's-street. In the absence of the Duke of York,
Lord LYNILDOCH took the Chair, and called on the
Treasurer to read the Report, from which it appeared
that the increasing applications of patients rendered an
increase of the Establishment necessary. Of the 40004.
which it was expected would be required for the neces-
sary edifice, V. 5001. had already been subscribed.. The.
Crown Lands would afford a proper site for the intended
improvements, and the Treasury bad professed their
willingness to grant the Land.
Lord 1310ADALIAXII proposed that a certain number of Noblemen
and Gentlemen, whose names were annexed, should be appointed
Trustees of the Land expected to be obtained for the Edifice.
Mr. Brats seconded the Resolution.—married unanimously.
Sir Jexw lizassroso moved, " That a Petition should be pre-
sented to the Lords of the Treasury, praying them to appoint some
convenient spot where the Building required might bo erected."
Sir J. Brno seconded the Motion—Carried unanimously.
Mr. GUTH me, one of the Surgeons of the Institution,
thin addressed the Meeting, at some length, on its im-
portance hind advantages. He instanced the case of a
poor blind man, who was formerly a soldier in the 89th
Regiment of Foot, and had been dismissed the service
on account of blindness, in the year 1811. This man
had remained deprived of vision until withisi the last
year, when be had come under Mr. GA care ; and then
be was so completely restored that be could now walk
without the slightest guidance. He concluded by ex-
pressing a wish, that all present would use their utmost
endeavours to serve so excellent an Establishment.
Thanks were voted to bk. Forbes and Mr. Guthrie, the Surgeons,
and to Lord Lynedoeb.—The Meeting then separated.

Committee of Seamen there gave them orders not to go
