The gross receipts have been £5739 and the expenditure £3536 Id. Amongst the items of the receipts are. £530 lid derived from dividends and other sources of permanent income; £2313 Id. from sources of flue- income, including £1,314 from subscriptions £561 2d. from collections at churches and chapels and £441 9d.

from donations £2,401 9d. arose from legacies, £2000 of which is owing to the munificence of the late Mrs. Becker. Amongst the items of expenditure 1 are £1361 14s. 4d.

for provisions £466 16s. lOd. for house expenses: £562 9d. for drugs and other penses; £407 9s. 11 for rent, insurance, and other Hospital and £737 4s.

3d. for salaries, A sum of i £2000 has been invested in the purchase of stock, leaving a balance in favour of the Institution of about £200. The Medical and Surgical Reports gave the following result for the year 6263 in, 529; patients visited at their own homes, 313 servants, 26 of medical patients, 7105. Surgical 6,336 in-, 535; servants, of surgical patents, 6871- Grand total of medical and surgical 13,976. The Chairman, in putting the question, that the Reports be confirmed, observed that they afforded great reason for congratulation on the manner in which the institution had gone on during the year.

The following Report, from the Trustees and Committee, was then "The Trustees and Committee, in presentinj; their Iwentyseventh Report since the union, again return their very grateful thanks to the public for the lberality which has been extended to this excellent charity during the past year. The annual subscriptions have amounted The Trustees and Committee have to return thanks to Miss Elizabeth Slater tor a donation of 100 to through J. Church, of to to his mam £3. los.

Baldwin legacy. They have great cause for thankfulness for having been enabled to go through the year so favourably. The expenses of the Establishment for the last year were, altogether, £3,536 ss. the number of in-patients, including servants, fewer than in the preceding year, but many of the cases were of a very formidable nature, and of long continuance this, with the increase in the prices of provisions, and the circumstance of its being the year for painting, will account for the increase of £1.36 2s. 9d.

in the expenditure over that of last year the number of outpatients 2599, and 313 medical cases visited at their homes, being 54 more than in the preceding year. The services of the Physicians and Surgeons continue to be most valuable. ByGod's blessing on their skill and exertions, many severe cases have beeu cured and relieved, and the general treatment of the patients has been very successful. The Trustees and Committee have also to report that, on the decease of the late W. Sutcliffe, an event which they, in common with the Managers of many other Institu- tions, have to lament, a subscription was raised towards a testimonial of respect to his memory, and the Committee appointed to manage it determined on transferring the amount to the Committee of the United Hospital, to be applied by them to the granting of small annuities to superannuated or afflicted nurses the sum of £318 9d.

has been collected, and a fund established with it, under the denomination of the Sutcliffe and all the particulars will be seen in the latter part of this statement, in conjunction with the Samaritan and Flannel Societies, and will, they hope, meet with kind attention and aid from the public. United Hospital, Jan. 1853." Capt. Evans moved that the Report be received, adopted, and printed. The resolution was seconded by T.

H. King, and carried unanimously. On the motion of Jones Rudland, several trifling verbal alterations in the rules recommended by the Committee were adopted. C. Bush, moved that Sir William Cockburn, Bart.

W. H. Gore Langton, M.P. Sir Robert Preston, Sir H. Johnson.

Bart. J. Walmesley, Esq. and T. H.

King. be appointed Vice Presidents for the ensuing year, Mr. Bush observed that he thought the meeting ought not to pass this resolution, without accompanying it with a tribute of respect tor the services and memory of a gentleman whose name was On the list during the last year, the late William Basnett, the faithful Honorary Secretary of the institution. (Hear.) Several other resolutions, re electing the Bankers of the institution, Messrs. Tugwell and appointing J.

F. Mason, Honorary Secretary thanking the Committee, the Chaplain, and the Medical Officers, for their services during the past year, were adopted, on the motion of J. Rudland, Admiral Walcott, M.P.; the Rev. E. Tottenham; J.

Brace, Esq. T. H. King, Major Baker, and other gentlemen. Geo.

Monkland, Chairman, our lamented friend, Mr. Basnett, who for so many years performed the duties of honorary secretary of this institution, and who has been taken from amongst us so lately, has given another proof of the same zeal and affectiou which he evinced towards it during his long and honoured life- lam happy to announce to the subscribers that an intimation has reached the Committee this day that Mr. Basnett has kindly and liberally followed up his services to the Hospital by leaving it a legacy of £50, free of duty. When, during the last year, Mr. Basnett's increasing maladies deprived us of the valuable services which he had so long rendered us in the office of Hon.

Secretary, we were almost afraid that the loss would be irreparable, so admirably had he conducted the business of the Hospital, and so I may be allowed to use the beautifully had he kept its accounts. (Hear, hear.) We were, however, able to fill up bis place, and in a manner which shows that we ought never to despair for we received the kind services of Mr. King; and although the manner in which Mr. Basnett discharged his duties cannot be exceeded, yet they were certainly carried on by Mr. King 1 and, in saying this, I shall be borne out by every one who knows what his services have a manner quite equal to anything which our former admirable secretary ever performed.

(Hear.) Under these circumstances, sir, we were stiil more alarmed when it was intimated to us, a short time since, that, owing to a pressure of private affairs and public duties in connection with other charitable institutions, Mr. King could not mnch longer continue to hold the office of Honorary Secretary, though he has kindly consented, lam happy to say, to superintend the accounts, and watch over our finances. (Hear.) VV feel deeply indebted to Mason (hear, hear.) for having come forward in this emergency, and the more especially as he did so reluctantly, from the same cause which lias deprived us of the services of Mr. having many claims on his time and attention in connection with other charitable institutions. (Hear.) And I am sure, sir, that while we thank Mr.

Mason for his kindness in rendering us his services, we shall next year give him a vote of thanks, as cordially and unanimously as you will adopt the resolution which I am about to propose. It is That the best thanks of this meeting be to T. H. King, for the valuable services which he has rendered to the Hospital, as Honorary Secretary during the past year." J. Markland, seconded the resolution; and.

after a brief, but warm eulogy of Mr. King's services from the Cnairman, the resolution was carried unanimously. I.H.King, I am exceedingly obliged to you tor the kindness you have just shown towards me I much regret that I have been obliged to resign the situation Honorary Secretary. It is not only because my time is occupied by other institutions that I have felt it necessary to So A. bnt becdus my health will no longer permit me hold the office.

(Hear.) It will, however, afford me great pleasure to assist Mr. Mason in carrying on the accounts of the Hospital. (Hear.) I feel extremely obliged to all the gentlemen connected with the institution for the kind attention shown to me during the time I was in office. (Applause.) J. H.

Markland, said that there was one individual connected with the institution to whom it was not customary to give a vote of thanks; yet he should be sorry if her services were passed over unnoticed at the annual meeting. He was sure every gentleman who heard him would anticipate that he alluded to their excellent matron, Mrs. Thornthwaite. (Hear.) He would not make any formal resolution, but he was certain he might say for the meeting that it was animated by a deep and sincere feeling of thankfulness to that lady for the manner in which she had always discharged her onerous duties. Mr.

Markland's observations appeared to give much pleasure to the meeting, and, in a brief conversation which followed, several gentlemen expressed themselves to a similar effect. The business of the day having been concluded, the chair was taken by J. H. Markland, Esq. Norman, then proposed a vote of thanks to P.

B. Duncan. not only for his conduct in the chair, but for the great liberality, kindly disposition, and unwearied interest which be had always taken in the welfare of the Hospital. He was sure there could be but one sentiment on the subject. (Applause.) Admiral Walcott, M.P.—I am happy to second the motion, and I am sure that I shall only be expressing.

the sentiments of every gentleman present, in recording the high sense which i entertain of the invaluable services which Mr. Duncan has given to the institution. The generous response which Mr. Duncan has always made to every call of charity, which best ennobles the nature of every man, is the reflection of his strong Christian feelings. lam delighted to have this opportunity of expressing my feelings on the subject, as circuni- stances will prevent me from residing so much in Bath as formerly, and I may have no other opportunity.

Let me say, then, that when it shall be the Providence of God to remove our venerable friend from us, our gratitude, esteem, and admiration will cherish his memory, and one universal feeling of sorrow will accompany him to the grave (Hear P.B. Duncan I feel much flattered by the honour you have conferred on flattered by the speech made by my kind friend, You all know that I have always felt the deepest interest in the prosperity of the Hospital; I do now, and I shall always feel the same interest, until the last day of my life. I am happy to say, to use the language of the gallant profession of my friend, that our vessel is well-manned, well-officered, well-freighted, and, I trust, that it wi have a very prosperous voyage to the end of time.

Another of those unfortunate by the enemy which have so often during the war proved fatal to small parties of our force has lately occurred.

About twenty of Montagu's Horse, under Captain Villiers, were passing between Chumie Camp and the Kieskamma Hock, and the road being steep they had dismounted and were leading their horses with their rifles incautiously left slung in the buckets attached to their saddles. Suddenly about one hundred rebel Hottentots fell upon them and commenced firing upon which the whole party fled, leaving five guns and ten horses in the hands of the enemy, besides two which were killed. Captain Villiers was slightly wounded and one ot his men dangerous'y. A party from Chumie Camp under Captain Rennie, 73rd Regiment, at once proceeded to the spot, but the foe had vanished with his booty. The captured Slambie chief Sevolo has been brought down by sea to Cape Town, and lodged in the town prison until arrangements are made for his safe custody in the neighbouring village ot ynberg.

When the of the Court Martial by which he was tried at Graham's Town was read to him, condemning him to be shot to death by musketry," he is said to have betrayed no emotion; but when informed that his sentence was to be commuted, and that he was to be carried over the sea he was overcome with alarm, and appeared to regard this doom a3 much more terrible than that first pronounced against bim. The Governor has proceeded with a force of 2,000 men into the Orange River territory. The cause of this movement has not been officially announced, but it is generally believed that the powerful Basouta chief Moshesh, and the Sovereignty fanners are likely to come into serious collision. Reports have been received, which, however, want confirmation, that Moshesh has made prisoner of the Rev. Mr.

Giddy, a Wesleyan missionary, together with a number of the farmers, whom he had invited to a conference, and has sent a message to General Cathcart, threatening to put the whole of them to death should the troops dare to enter his territory. The Carlisle has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Leeds Mercury, in reference to the case of the Madiais. The noble Lord says lam aware that it is thought by many that, so far from the case of the Madiais being a solitary instance, the prisons of Italy are at this moment crowded with the victims of religious persecution. I speak not of matters, however, which are beyond my cognizance. Upon the ground of what we do know as a fact, without concerning ourselves for the present either with the conduct of foreign Governments or of our own, it is impossible that we should not await with great anxiety the course adopted by our own Roman Catholic fellow-subjects.

They have continually assured us that the old principles and codes of intolerance, once certainly (and I readily admit, not exclusively) attached to their Church, had fallen into practical desuetude, and were viewed by them with at least as much abhorrence as by ourselves. We gave them credit for the generous self-assertion. I will not waste your space by a reference to what is of so little moment as my own career; but I feel that on the whole it has not lagged in sympathy for their just rights. What has since happened A man is in danger of meeting with his death under a judicial sentence, for the offence of reading the Bible. The fact, as far as I yet know, is not controverted.

It is known there are is believed there are many similar risks, It must be perfectly that in such a State as Tuscany these ecclesiastical sentences and penalties must slumber or revive under the paramount inspiration of Rome. Now our Roman Catholic countrymen profess implicit spiritual deference and allegiance to the See of Rome. With that principle of their faith it is no business of mine to quarrel; but as even spiritual authoriiy must maintain some reciprocal relations with those who are subject to it, surely the Roman Catholic citizens of the United Kingdom will address the voice of remonstrance to their spiritual superior dutiful, submissive as they still earnest, importunate, and incessant, till, by its timely lib tervention, they are rescued from this glaring inconsistency, this intolerable reproach. I might, had space and opportunity permitted, have been tempted to remark on many gathering symptoms, long foreseen, long expected by many, of a more obstinate and decisive conflict in the world than has yet occurred but I refrain from all matters of speculation, and, confining myself to what is subject of actual record, I must repeat that upon the mode in which the Roman Catholic body at large treat these contemporary occurrences their place in the estimation even of their most sincere well-wishers must largely depend." A large meeting was held, on Tuesday, at Exeter Hall, to hear the statements of the Earl of Cavan, and Capt. Trotter, who went to Tuscany to obtain a mitigation of the sentence passed on the Madiai.

The facts having already been made public, we need not re-state Lord Cavan mentioned a touching incident connected with the case of Francesco Madiai. The poor man was kept for a time in solitary confinement; and so deeply oppressed was his mind by the death-like silence which reigned in his cell, that he requested to be allowed to have his watch, in order that he might hear the ticking of it. The Governor's reply was, however, that there was no need of watches for persons of his class, and so the matter ended. The railway carriages in the United States are built on an entirely different model to ours. They are long, containing about fifty passengers each, and the seats are so arranged as to leave a free passage lengthwise through the middle of the carriage.

At their ends are doors and platforms, so that the guard can, and does, pass continually through the whole of them, and by the same means has access to the engineer, who is sheltered by a glazed house from inclement weather. Dr. Sutherland, in his voyage in Baffin's Bay, says "It was necessary to be very careful with our drinking, cups. Tin never suited, for it always adhered to the lipsand took a portion of the skin along with it. A dog attempting to lick a little fat from an iron shovel, stuck fast to it, and dragged it by means of bis tongue, until, by a sudden effort, he got clear, leaving several inches of the skin and adjacent tissue on the cold metal.

One of the seamen, endeavouring to change the size of the eye of the splice in his track rope, put the marling-spike, after the true sailor fashion, into his mouth the result was, that he I lost a great portion of the skin of his lips and tongue." A Flock of Mad somewhat extraordinary series of events has occurred lately in tbe neighbourhood of Banff, involving the loss of a number of sheep. On the evening of the 17th of December last, Mr. Sinclair, of 31acdufF, observed one of his sheep, which had been at pasture in a park near the town, making towards his house bleeding copiously; the lower jawbone had been broken. Anxious for the safety of the rest, he proceeded to the field, where he found two of his sheep lying dead, fearfully mangled. Beside the carcasses crouched a large dog, which began to growl at, and seemed not indisposed to attack, Mr.

Sinclair. He succeeded, however, in driving him off. The wounded sheep was so much injured that there was no hope of its continued existence, and it was accordingly put to death. Next day intimation was made to the authorities by Mr. Macpherson, farmer, Melrose, that on the same night on which the above took place his flock of sheep had been attacked by a strange dog while in their iold, and that several of them had been destroyed.

On the night in question Mr. Macpherson's shepherd was aroused by hearing a peculiar sound, as if of struggling, proceeding from the sheepcote. He at once got out of bed, and, taking the precaution to load his gun, proceeded to the spot. Here he observed a large dog worrying the sheep in a most savage manner. The shepherd fired his piece and wounded the dog, which then ran off a short distance.

The shepherd, again loading the gun, discharged it at the animal, again wounding him. He now savagely turned upon his assailant, offering serious resistance, but was beaten clown with the butt end of the gun, and killed on the spot. The dog was a large powerful gray animal, and was judged to be a cros3 between a bulldog and a collie." The brute had managed to kill four of the sheep, besides severely wounding another four. All the time the unfortunate occurrence was taking place, it was not suspected that the dog was in a rabid state. Next day, however, Mr.

Macpherson took the precaution to remove the four wounded animals from the rest of the flock. They were carefully attended, and had in a measure regained their wonted appearance. On the 6th however, two of them began to assume a restless appearance, and refused to feed. On the Bth still more characteristic symptoms were exhibited, and the fell disease, hydrophobia, was only too apparent. The poor creatures foamed at the mouth, and, contrary to their nature, became completely furious, attempting to butt the shepherd, who was at last obliged to put an end to their miserable existence.

Three days after, namely, on the 11th, another of the flock, an animal which had been wounded by the rabid dog but so slightly that it was not previously observed, also exhibited unmistakeable symptoms of being infected by the same disease, and was put to death on the following day, along with three others which were then discovered to be in the same unfortunate condition. On the 14th a careful examination of the entire flock was made, when an additional animal was found to be in the last stage of the frightful disease, and was immediately destroyed. The number of sheep thus lost to Mr. Macpherson is not less than eleven out of a flock of 74. This is, of course, in addition to three which Mr.

Sinclair had lost. Amateui; death on the gallows of Barbour and Waddington, the Sheffield murderers, has been succeeded by two cases of hanging, both occurring this week at Sheffield, one of them, at least, having a clearly traceable connection with the strangely fascinating influence alluded to above. On Sunday last, the day after the execution of James Barbour, the inmates of the lunatic ward at the Sheffield union workhouse conversed together for some time on the subject of that event and the hanging of Alfred Waddington. Among those who entered earnestly into the conversation was a person, named George Palfrey, by trade a white-metal smith, and who has been in the lunatic asylum at Wakefield, and in the retreat ward at Sheffield, for about thirty years. He was in such a state of convalescence that he wis intrusted with the care of a patient who required frequent attention.

Palfrey's imagination appears to have been inflamed by the exciting conversation, and such was its effect upon him, that, during Sunday night, he slipped out of the retreat-ward, and, having attached his neckerchief to a beam in the water-closet, he placed his neck within the sling, and, throwing himself off a slight elevation upon which he was standing, hung suspended, with his feet just clear of the floor, until life was extinct. In that posture the dead body was found at an early hour on Monday morning. The other instance of hanging which we have to record is a still more singular one. A boy, of the age of fourteen, of the name of John Auty, son of a man who keeps a beer-house in Kelham Street, kept pigeons in a garret, and he had been robbed of two or three of his feathered favourites by a prowling cat, which gained admission to the garret through a broken pane in the window. The boy had been heard to vow vengeance on the marauder, and it appeared that, on Wednesday afternoon, he had set about preparing a noose to fix within the broken pane, with the intention of catching the stealthy visitor by the neck, and causing it to effect its own strangulation.

On Wednesday evening his absence created surprise, his family became alarmed, and made search for the lost one in every conceivable quarter, but all in vain. About eleven o'clock the the distracted mother sent one of her daughters to ascertain whether the boy had slipped off to bed, and the girl discovered, to her unspeakable horror, his rigid and lifeless body, hanging from the ceiling in a lumber-garret, on the same floor as his sleeping apartment. The surrounding circumstances were such as to render the mode of his death a matter of mystery. The garret in which the body was found, and which was the of the pig eonS; 3 a low confined apartment with a sloping roof, along the centre of which, six or seven feet from the floor, runs a joist. The boy was found hanging by a piece of thick whipcord that was attached to a nail in the middle of the joist.

His neck was not in a noose, but in a sling with a large knot at the end; his body was resting on the floor, and his head raised only two or three feet above it. He had evidently fallen off something upon which he had been standing, as there were an old dressing-table and some other lumber overturned and lying about the body. The most feasible conjecture was, either that while preparing to fix the lower end of the cord as a noose to the window, the article upon which he was standing had slipped from under him, and that, when falling, his head had got within the sling formed by the cord, or else that he had placed his head within toe cord from a boyish desire to taste for a moment, the sensation hanging, and that, during the experiment, he had lost his footing and sustained a jerk that deprived him of the means of self-deliverance. At any rate, he perished in a most mysterious manner, considering that during the process of strangulation his weight mainly rested on the floor, and that both his hands were at liberty, and might, under ordinary circumstances, have been applied to the cord for the extrication of his head.
