The total ex- penditure of the institution in that time amounted to only $40,129.12, being an average of 13 cents for each patient within the time. The financial state- ment for the last year stands thus-$1,000 received from the city corporation: $338.75 interest, and $504.50 donations and subscriptions. The Trea- surer had a balance of $698.67 in hand from the previous year. At the close of last year the balance was only $13.87.

The number of patients received in the Hospital during the year 1853, was 4,478, of which 731 died. The ratio of deaths, in cases fully treat- ed, was 13} per cent. The Medical Report makes it nearly 17 per cent. The amount of commutation tax received by the Commissioners in 1853, was $550,755 50. The disbursements on account of this Hospital, including salaries and wages, amount- ed to $62,724 40, and also unclassified expenditures $10,838 15.

The State annuity to the Hospi- tal is $12,500. The State annuity to the Asylum is $10,000. The Physicians and Surgeons have, for sixty years back, attended the Hospital gratuitously. The aggregate receipts of the corporation, from all sources, from the 31st December, 1852, to 31st De- cember, 1853, were $141,277 44, including the two State annuities formerly granted by the Legisla- ture, and $47,250 being the special receipts in pay- ment (in part) of sums subscribed by individuals, for the enlargement of the Hospital and Asylum. In this sum is also included a temporary advance from the Fulton Bank, of $558 19. The aggre- gate expenditures, during the same period, were $141,277 44. This amount includes the special ex- penditures on account of thenew permanent build- ings at the Hospital and Asylum, which leaves the remaining expenditure for the usual purposes of the two institutions, and the contingencies of the year at $93,527 44. The whole number of persons who received the benefits of the Hospital, as medi- cal or surgical patients, during the year 1853, was

New York Dispensary .- Corner of White and Centre st. Founded 1790. The Dispensary was established by some of the most respectable inhabitants of the city, " to relieve such sick poor and indigent persons as were unable to procure medical aid." It was incorporated by the Legisla- ture in 1795. It was at first located in one room of a building on the site of Tryon Row, where it re- mained until 1829, when the present building was prepared for its reception. The Corporation of the City granted the site for the present building in fee to the trustees. Officers and Trustees for 1854 ; George T. Trimble, President : Benjamin H. Field, Treasurer : James F.

Jen- kins. Ass't Apothecary, L. W. Leighton, Drug- gists, Ingersoll & Field. The number of persons who received the benefits of the institution in 1853, either at their dwellings or at the Dispensary, amounted to 46,338 ; of this number there were prescribed for at the Dispensary 35,948; at their own dwellings 7,188; and there were vaccinated 3,202. The required medicines were given gratu- itously in all these cases, the number of prescrip- tions amounting to 104,463. The total income of the Dispensary for the year ending January 1st, 1854, amounted to $4,867 35: the expenditure to $4,841 19. The Dispensary formerly received an annual appropriation from the State of $1,500 which has been withdrawn. The services of the Attending Physician are rendered gratuitously, and the salaries of the House and District Physicians are on a very low scale. It appears from the last year's report of the Trustees, that the institution is not supported in a manner commensurate with the benefit it bestows on the community. $50 con- stitutes a life member, and $5 an annual subscri- ber. The City appropriated $1,000 to the Dispen- sary in 1853 : the donations amounted to only $465, and the annual subscription to $481 95. The por- tion of the city pertaining to the Dispensary is di- vided into six Districts, as follows, viz : First Dis- trict-includes all that portion of the city below a line from Hudson River through Barclay street, across the Park, through Frankfort, Pearl and Dover sts. to the East River ; including both sides of the boundary streets, except Barclay. Second District-bounded south by Barclay st .; west by Hudson River; north by Spring st. ; and east by Broadway, including the south side of Spring, and both sides of the other boundary streets. Third District-bounded south by the First District, and
