were ls.6d. per yard, and they had landing-slips furnished
to them. The letter was referred.—A memorial was read

and by right there ought to have been a clause in the ac
of parliament to make every person coming from Cl
pay a penny towards the interest of the outlay.
feeling of the committee was opposed to the request of
the applicants, and the secretary was directed to reply to
that effect.—Mr. Bold stated that the government were
about to send down two engineers to make an inquiry as
to a new site for the magazines. As the question was
one which might affect the Dock Committee, he thought
the solicitor should attend the inquiry ; it would take
place next week, at the Adelphi Hotel. It was agreed
that the chairman and the solicitor should attend on be-
half of the Dock Committee.
LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES.—The annual general meet-
- - .

ing of the friends and subscribers to these .charities was
held on Thursday in the Clarendon-rooms, the Venerable
Archdeacon Brooks in the chair.l—Mr. D. H. Gibson, the
secretary, read the report. It dtew a favourable compa-
rison between 1849 and 1850. In the former year the
cholera was raging, and there was a deficiency of funds.
In the latter year the town was healthy, and the contri-
butions had been plentiful. This enabled the treasurer to
carry forward a satisfactory balance to the account of the
new year. The permanent income, however, arising from
annual subscriptions, falls very much short of the ordi;
nary expenditure. In the past year, but for the extraor-
dinary resources, the deficit would have amounted to
£765. Owing to a satisfactory arrangement with the
London and North Western Railway Company, by which
the charity has been indemnified for injuries done to the
North Dispensary, the committee have invested the sum
re ceived (£500) in dock bonds, in order to meet any con-
tingency arising from permanent injury done to the foun-
dation of the building. Legacies, also, they conceive,
should likewise go to form a reserved fund; and hence
they have, in the past year, invested in public securities
£4OO from this source. Under these circumstances, it is
hoped that the friends of the institution will not relax
their endeavours in obtaining additional subscriptions to
a charity which, in the past year, has relieved thirty
thousand one hundred and sixty-one patients, including
fifty-four surgical operations of an important' kind.
Amongst the donations is a very munificent one from the
late T. D. Lewis, Esq., formerly of this town, amounting
to £1,428 Ils. 6d.—The Rev. Mr. Tomlin referred to
the case of persons affected with consumption. In London
there was a large hospital at Brompton, where a large
number of consumptive patients were admitted, but he
was not aware that there was an institution of the kind in
Liverpool. He had been told That such ;an institution
