ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viZ., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
the beginning of the year 1880, the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
ior which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,'00 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-cart iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense oi
the generous support which they have received from the
Fetish public during the past few years, a support which
has enab'ed them to establish their present magnificent fleet
or 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensib e, however, of the great responsibility that
res. s on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whi h car, only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.
The Committee gratefully acknowledge the following con-
