From a report of the ftate of the York 

 L-j;iatic Afylum, it appears that the total 

 amount o( receipts from July l, 1804, to 

 July I, 1805, was 41561. i6j. 5di and 

 that of monies expcncied during the fjme 

 period including the purchafe of gtjol. in 

 the 3 per cent confols, was 37461. 4s. jd^. 

 }eaving a balance of 390I. 12s. The number 

 cf patients admitted from the firrt eft;ibli(Ti- 

 Bient in 1777, to Auguft i, 1804, was 

 1712 ; fnjm Auguft i, i?o4, to Au^juft i, 

 iSoS) 77> making a total of 1780 ; of whom 

 759 liave been difcharged cured, 432 re- 

 lieved, 262 insurable and removed by de- 

 fire of their friends, 154 have died, and 

 there are remaining in the houfe 87 men, 

 and 55 women, among whom are 21 patients 

 ■who enjoy the benefit of a confiderabie fum, 

 annually arifi.^g from the enlarged payments 

 of a few patients in eafy circumlbnces. 



Applications are intended to be male to 

 pattiament in the next felfion, for an aft for 

 nuking a new cut or canal, from Hedon to 

 Paul in Holdernefs ; an aft for making and 

 maintaining a turnpike ro.id, to branch off 

 from the prefent road between Wakefield 

 and Halifax at Millbridge, and to communi- 

 cate with that leading from Leeds, to El- 

 land, at or near the town of Cleck-heaton ; 

 an aft to mi!;e a railway from Botton-boat 

 in the parifli of Wakefield, to Hullet-hall 

 colliery, with a branch to be made from 

 the road beginning near Hooley Lower Mill, 

 in Batley, to Birilall and Smithies bridge ; 

 and an aft for making the propofed turnpike- 

 loact, which is to break oft" from the great 

 Nirth-roiid at Baftfdalc, and to pafs through 

 Pontefraft lu *ftwBt It has been demon- 

 ftrsted, that in"the event of this plan being 

 executed, the *Tjving to co.uh palTengers 

 ilone from and ^6 Leeds, will be upwards of 

 3C00I. pei'^annum. To fome of the other 

 fjaces thri ugh which the new road is to 

 fc^fs, the piopjrtion of advantage, according 

 to^he fwe, will be ftill greater, and to fpeait 



within bounds, its benefits will within two 

 years, be more than equivalent to the wliiole 

 expence of making the road. To Lord Gal- 

 way and the other noblemen and gentlemen 

 who have contributed or may aid in the 

 execution of the plan, the landed and com- 

 mercial Intereft of the weft-riding will be 

 deeply indebted; and the mote fo as it has 

 the fingular recommendation of efientially 

 benefitinv; one part of the county, while to 

 any other part very little lofs or inconve- 

 nience can pofiibiy arife.
