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.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued
ca es
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Mas rerman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Contts and
Co. ; Drummond and Co. ; Herries and Co. ; Ransom and
Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith, Payne, and Co. ; Glyn
and Co. ; Jones Loyd and Co. ; Barclay and Co. ; Denison

Co. ; Nisbet and Co. ; Messrs. J. Barned and Co., Liverpool

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
he beginning ohe year 1860, 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 ;
tor which services 82 Gold illedals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,e00 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, which can 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-
tributions:—

rfis Grace the Duke of Somerset and Captain
Drummond visited the building yard of Mr. J.
White, at West Cowes, on Saturday, and inspected
her Majesty's screw corvette Highflyer, which Mr.
White is repairing under contract with the Admi-
ralty. The Duke, Captain Drummond, and other
members of the Board afterwards embarked on
board the Admiralty yacht Enchantress and left for
Portland.

The Russian iron-clad battery Pervcnitz left
Gravesend at six a.m. on Saturday for Cronstadt,
under steamer. On arriving off the Maplin Sands
she was tried at the measured mile, and realised a
mean speed of eight knots, with 80 revolutions of
her engines, their maximum number of revolutions
being 110. She completed a full circle in five
minutes 15 seconds, and was found to be under the
most perfect command of her helm. Immediately
on completing her trial at the measured mile the
Pervenitz was ordered by Admiral Boutakoff, who
has superintended her construction in this country
for the Russian Government, to proceed to Cron-
stadt under steam and canvass, the General Admi-
ral to accompany her under full steam, but not to
take her in tow. We are requested to state that
her departure from the Thames for the Baltic was
hurried forward for no other reason than simply to
get her over to Cronstadt previous to the rough
weather setting in. With regard to the armour-
plates not being bolted in their places on her bow
and stern, it was never intended to place them
there until after the arrival at Cronstadt, it being
determined, from the time of laying her keel, that
she should make her first voyage without them, and
with her extreme ends as light as possible.
In accordance with Admiralty instructions to
that effect received at Chatham, the mechanics
employed on the Achilles discontinued working
overtime on Saturday afternoon, and left the yard
at the usual hour, four o'clock. The cause of this
order on the part of the Admiralty appears to
be that, although the mechanics employed on that
vessel have ostensibly been working for several
months past from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., with only short
intervals for meals, yet, in reality, there is not a
sufficient excess of work accomplished to justify
the continuance of the system.

The Norwegian sailing corvette Ornen, 16, Capt.
H. Wedel Jarlsberg, 19 days from Quebec for
Christiana, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday
morning.

The following appointment and promotions were
made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Walter H.
Brimfield, acting first class assist.-engineer, to the
Wye; David Wilson (acting), Kenneth M'Caskill,
Andrew Kennedy, Nicholas Baird, David Sharp
(acting), James M'Arthur (acting), Peter Foulis
(acting), John Muir, Ebenezer Bennett, John
Crichton, John Galbraith, Samuel M'Dougall,
Edward M'Leish, and John Frazer, promoted assist.-
engineers of the first class.
