    A gentleman who, two years ago, kindly presented several volumes of “ Illustrated London News,” has, I am happy to say, promised to forward some more. I have held a Musical practice at the Asylum once or twice a week, at which 22 of the Attendants, and 2 of the Patients, have been present. The Choir has thus been enabled, not only to sing at the Sunday Services, but also to take part in the Winter Concert for the enter¬ tainment and enlivenment of the Patients. To render any assis¬ tance in this way, and at the readings, fetes, &c. organized by Dr. Adams, has given me great pleasure, inasmuch as I have seen many that were gloomy cheered by the means adopted; and others, worn out by their own harassing thoughts, relieved in the midst of what would otherwise have been to them a life of dreary monotony. I have the honour to be, Mr. Chairman, my Lord, and Gentlemen, Yours very obediently, WILLIAM IAGO, B. A. Chaplain. To the Visiting Committee, Cornwall County Asylum.
