ments daily making i in that flourifhing town. 
it is expected that it will be completed for the 
reception of company, by Auguft next, when 
the famous mart or guild merchant, held 
there every 2oth year, will be celebrated with 
the ufual feftivity. This mart will be the 
xgth fince the firft inftitution, in the 2d year 
of the reign of King Edward the Third, in 
the year 1329, Upwards of 15001. have been 
already fubfcribed towards the expence of 
building the fabric, the execution of the in- 
ternal part of which is to be under the di- 
reCtion of Mr. Scranton, whofe architectural 
abilities have been long known and admired. 
The intended new theatre is to be erected on 
the South fide of Fifhergate, near the Toll 
Bars. ° 
In confequence of defeéts in the original 
plan of the Lunatic Hofpital, at Manchefter, 
and other imperfeétions in the inftitution, it is 
propofed to convert the prefent hofpital into a 
Fever-ward,and to erect a NewLunaticHos- 
PITAL, upon an improved plan, thoroughly 
‘adequate for correéting the exifting evils, 
near the town, yet at a convenient diftance 
The original plan is acknowledged 
to be iJl adapted to the! prefent modes of 
treating infane perfons, and the faculty have, » 
maoreover, declared their opinion, that it 
cannot be altered, fo as to accomplith their 
views, for the benefit of their patients. It 
appears, likewife, that numbers of incurable 
patients have been admitted into the prefent 
Lunatic Hofpital, from other places of con- 
finement, while Eoae > whofe cafes were 
proper objects of practice, have been excluded. 
To the above fuggeftion it’ may not be un- 
feafonable to add the following : the experi- 
ence of five years has proved that febrile con- 
tagion is not) communicated froma Fever- 
ward to neighbouring buildings. No perfon 
in the prefent Lunatic Hofpital has been feized 
with a fever fince the Houfe of Recovery 
was opened. Should the intended plan be ef- 
fected, a diftinét part of the rooms in front 
of the Lunatic Hofpital will be appropriated 
tothe nurfes, as there would be fufficient re- 
maining room for the patients. The neceflity 
for eftablifhing a large Fever-ward on the In- 
firmary-grounds is generally admitted; by 
‘the propofed plan, an excellent Fever-ward 
and an improved Lunatic Hofpital will be ob- 
tained, for the expence which a fufficient Fever- 
ward alone would coft. A new Lunatic 
Hofpital, with the propofed improvements, 
may be ereéted for about 6 or 70001, while 
the alterations neceflary to convert the Luna- 
tic Hofpital into a Fever-ward, would be 
wery {peedily executed, and at a comparatively 
trifling expence,
