NORTHUMBERAND AND DURHAM. 
On the r2th inftant a meeting of the Gover- 
nors of the Infirmary at Neweaftle-upon-T yne 
-was held, to reconfider the propriety of open- 
ing the fever-houfe annexed to the hofpital, 
forthe general reception of fever cafes.. This 
meeting was called by the Bishop of Durham, 
{who is Grand-vifitor of the charity) on the 
requifition of about one hundred of the princi- 
pal fubfcribers, and was very numeroully at- 
tended; but as there feemed but too much 
reafon “i apprehend a warmth of debate which 
might have produced confequences injurious 
to the funds of the hofpital, the following 
plan was dropofed and unanimoufly agreed to 
== he Grand-vifitor was empowered to open 
the fever-houfe of the Infirmary for general 
reception, on the 31 ft of October, 1803, pro- 
vided.a feparate and remote hofpital for that 
purpofe be not ereéted and endowed, fo as to 
fatisfy him, in the mean time. This arrange- 
ment is appreved by thofe who contended for 
the fafety of annexing fever-wards to hofpi- 
tals ; becaute it is well Known that the Bi- 
fhop of Durham fully agrees with them in opi- 
nion, and becaufe the vote of the Governors, 
in itfelf, contains a direct approbition of the 
fentiments which they have mainiained. © It 
is to be lamented, however, that much time 
muft be loft, and many of our fellow. creatures 
perifh, before the new hofpital can be ready 
for their reception. Its permanency may alfo 
-be reafonably doubted, as the funds of the 
prefent charities, the Infirmary and Difpen- 
fary, have for fome years been decreafing, and 
the admirably-conftructed fever-houfe of the 
Infirmary muft either fall into ruin, or become 
a heavy and. ufelefs burthen to the -yery chari- 
ty it was meant to aflift.

liament im the enfuing feflion, to obtain an

ped for fome time paft, but again revived), a 
plan which, it is devoutly to be withed, may 
be carried into execution with fpirit and aéti- 
vity, particu.arly fo, from the confideration 
that while it affords additional ftrength to our 
commercial intereft, it may likewife probably 
give occafional employment to many of vur 
brave failors and ioldiers who have been lately 
dilbanded.
