LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES.—On Thursday, at the
annual meeting of these excellent institutions, the report
announced a considerable irr:provement in the state of the
fund.. At the cloy.. of 1843 the debt:of the institution
amounted to £l,BOO, at the close of 1844, to £671,
whereas the balance-Sheet of 1845 presents a surplus of
revenue over expenditure of £307. a state of things which
has not occurred since 1836. T. is, however, the report
says, arose from extraordinary exertions, and a hope was
expressed that the public would support • the institutions
by permanent subscriptions, and not let them depend on
unwearied importunity. The expenditure of the past
vear amounted to £3,242, whilst the income from sub=
scriptions is only £2,000, leaving £1,300 to be provided
for by casual and extraordinary contributions; and surely

lily be raised by means of anpwil subscription.; alone. and

that at an individual sacrifice*which would be so small as
scarcely to deserve the name of charity. It was to this
point the committee would hspecially Craw the attention

they would e3rnestly suggest how easily it may be main-
tained in that position. With This view a partial begin-
ning has been made in the past year, the committee hav-
ing obtained new subscriptions to th. 3 amount of .£lB7,
and increased subscriptions to the amount of £33 12s
which, together, make the sum of £220 125.; .but they

the sum of £95 15s. 6d., thus reducing it to £124 16s. 6d.

man for another year, and promised at all times his best
