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.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Masrerman, Esq.' Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
'he beginning of the year 1860, the Royas National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of Eng'and, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800 ;
for 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-earl ages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
he gen emu, support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a
support which
has enah'ed them to establish their present magnificent fleet
ot 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom
Deeply sensible, however, ot the great responsibility that
resrs on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and i' iCrews practised in the manarrement of their
boats, whi 'I. can only be effected by a large and pe. manent
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-
