CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.

The Poor's House,—This Institution, for supportingthe old, indigent, and helpless, was founded in 1756. Thefunds for erecting the building were raised by donations

and subscriptions. The money necessary for its support is

derived from the poor's funds, and from a mortification onthe lands of Loans, amounting yearly to 64 bolls of mealand 30 merks of money. The Directors consist of nine

members of the Town Council, the Kirk Session, three

from the Sailors' Society, three from the Merchants' Com-pany, three from the Writers' Society, eight from the Boardof Incorporated Trades, and all heritors whose rent fromlands within the parish amount to £50, according to the

Town's valuation roll. The management of the charity is

confided to a Committee of nine, who are selected annually

out of the general body of Directors, in the following way—one from the Magistrates, three from the Kirk Session,

and five indiscriminately. Admission is not limited. Com-mittee of Management—Bailie Erskine, Rev, A. Cuthill.

Smith's Institution.—This School was established bya legacy from the late Capt. John Smith. The fund, in

]833, amounted to ^'2122, producing an annual sum of

^88, applied in supporting a teacher, and in providing

books, &c., for poor scholars. In 1841, a very excellent

schoolhouse was erected at the Townhead, where upwardsof 206 children are educated. Nearly one-half of these are

taught gratuitously. The management is vested in the

Provost and Magistrates, and the Ministers of the parish.

Teacher, James Dobie; Assistant, Robert Hunter.

Fever Hospital.—The alarming extent to which fever!

frequently prevailed among the lower classes, drew the at-

tention of the benevolent to the necessity of erecting an

hospital for the benefit of the afflicted. In 1842-43, ac-

cordingly, a subscription was actively set on foot, whichwas so successful that in the beginning of 1844, a large andhandsome hospital was opened at the head of Mill Street.

. It is capable of accommodating twenty patients. Originally

only fourteen beds were provided ; but by the active exer-

tions of the ladies—whose fancy bazaar, held in the As-sembly Kooms, produced nearly .£'400—six additional bedswere fitted up. The subscriptions amounted to <:3£2042,

15s. 7d.—the expense of erection and furnishing to =;Gl813,

10s. 9d. ; thus leaving a balance of =36*229, 4s. lOd. Thecurrent expense is met, at present, by subscription. Dur-ing 1844, 100 patients were admitted; of whom 95 re-

covered, and 5 died. Since its opening, it has been pro-

ductive of much benefit. The management is vested in a

committee. Patron, the Most Noble the Marquis of Bute

however, was not competent to erect and maintain an Aca-demy such as had been contemplated ; and a public sub-scription was consequently entered into to raise the neces-

sary amount. From a list of subscriptions, published in

1804, we perceive that j£75S5, 4s. lOd. was realised. Thebuilding of the Academy commenced in 1794, and it wasopened, under the most encouraging auspices, in August,1796. The cost of erection amounted to ^'2837. The re-

mainder of the money subscribed, after defraying what wasexpended in the purchase of apparatus, &c., was vested in

the 3 per cent, consols—out of the interest of which, and MrFergusson's donations, together with the sum of ^lOU an-

nually granted by the Town—the salaries of the teachers

are paid. A charter was obtained in 1798, which commitsthe management of the Academy to—seven Directors, annu-ally chosen from the Magistrates and Council of Ayr—the

NEWMARKET STREET,

"OESPECTFULLY announces to the public of AyrO/ and its vicinity, that he has i-ecently commenced to

practise the art of PORTRAIT PAINTING. He is

well aware that the announcement would rather savour of

ostentation on his part were he to assert that he excels, or

was qualified even to compete with, those who have studied

under, and got the finishing polish from, the most celebrated

masters. All that he intends at present, is merely to informthose who may feel inclined to honour him with their com-mands, that he can refer them to a number of Likenesseswhich he has recently taken of Ladies and Gentlemen in

Ayr and the suburbs, which, with due deference, he will

submit for their inspection, and, when compared withthe living originals, he will leave them to judge for them-selves.

D. H. will either take sittings at his own house, or at-

tend at the residences of tho^e who may honour him withtheir orders.
