Fever Institution, both for the cure of the disorder',
and for arresting the farther progress of contagion ;1
all these facts so made out, have satisfied your Coet-,
mittee, that it would be highly expedient to extend
the public aid to this establishment. And as they
see no reason why the capital stock ot the hospital
should be augmented, they should propose a- farther
grant of 20001. which, with the 10001. stready made,
will enable the Isistitutioo to increase its mesas of
accommodation to 100 patients. Taking a fair
average of the fever caseate the Metropulis,this esta-
blishment will thus be enabled to receive a greet pro-
portion of the patients who are now sent to other
hospitals ; and propably in ordinary times nearly the
whole of the fevers of the Metropolis.

Your Committee feel attired, that in ease thefever
should continue ha ravages undiminished', semi the

wish confidence ow the munificent* and charity of
the Public to perfmole the ordinary aerosol fends, for
the upped of an Institution so Cell deuereilt4 the
coentensati of all ranks of 'society.' Year Com.
mittee have fully satisfied tbeassetrek, that the most
beneficial effects have resulted from hospitals oz.
elusively set apart for cases of fever. They refer p-
ima'', to the accounts, to show the Small income of
'hie admirable institution, as well as the increasing
demands on it ; and though the benevolence of the
Public has done much to raise this establishment to
its useful pre-eminence, .yet farther aid is still
wanted ; and your Committee wish to recommend
his Majesty's Government to re-consider the grant
they have already made.
Your Committee, in recommending this grant of
money, are aware of the general impolley of sup.
porting public hospitals by advances of public money;
but the peculiar state of this establishment, its na.
term and character, the pressure on its lends, which
require immediate and large addition to them; and,
above all, she diseased state of the Metropolis, in re.
spect of fever, and the probability of Ito malignity
being increased towards the autumn, ail thous ten.
sons sstisfy your Committee, that a departure from
she general principle may, in this cue, with safety,
be adopted.
From the ezperiesce derived from the establish.
moots at Chester, Manchester, sod Wsterford, ac-
eosoliog to a report which has been laid before them ;
it appears that net only no hazard of spreading in.
fection has been incurred, but, in point of fact,
the number of contagious diseases has been greatly
dimisisbed, not only in towns, but in the very
'district and neighbourhood where Houses of Re-
corny have been situated. Dr. asset, late Physician
to the Manchester Infirmary, informed your Com-
mittee, that at Manchester no medical officer or at.
tendant in the hospital has been allicted with the
fever generated within its walls; end that in the
tow* Itself Outnumber of cases of that disease has di:
minielsed to a less degree than the otdisery eserege
prier to the establishment of the Institution. Dc.
Holm., Physiciauso the Infirmary from its establish•
merit to the present period, confirms this shadiest
to its full eateint.
Year Committee cannot close this Report without
sap/ening a regret that any hospital in the Melee-
polio should not possess a register of -diseases; they
float this omission will speedily be rectified. And,
is their epiuien it would be.-advisable to register,
net only the diseases, bet also the name and profes-
sion of the puke% It must at all times be .a matter
of esefel kuneledge to be able to Nate the quality
and relent of the different diseases that prevail at
diatoms periods: and yoer Committee have felt the
want of that inferatatian, arising out of this Image
Irregularity, in not being able to ascertain the ece.
rage fever cases that have occurred for seep pram
past its the Metropolis.

Outwits mod to myself, it became my duty to let
calumny circulate, it was my duty to sacrifice every
thing to the necessity of appeorieg before this a-
dience, and declare, that I persist in my indictment;
that my resolution to support it is more firm thab

If I bad, in the first place, obeyed the warrant
issued against me, thrown into a dungeon with my
unhappy friends, and doomed like them to a lag
and secret confinement, my voice to-day would set

I have, for an interval, appeared to Rhonda the

They may have enjoyed a momentary triumph;

bad I indicted my calumniators, than all at once they
