    R E P 0 R T. A retrospective observance of the facts through¬ out the past year, affords hut little novelty for detail in this Annual Report; and we can only hope to pre¬ sent it, with what perhaps may not be considered its least recommendation, that we have nothing of extra¬ ordinary occurrence to record. The House has been throughout the whole year very healthy, and with such occasional temporary ebullitions, as are by no means confined to insane life, the patients have been tranquil and quiet. Any noise there may have been, has proceeded from the Cricketers, who express their joy somewhat vociferously. The Report of to-day is as follows: MALES. FEMALES. TOTAL.
