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 surport, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this ;Tent 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
Mas'erman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and

Houses for drying the seed of forest trees and
nurseries have been established by the French Go-
vernment to satisfy the demands of the planters. The Go-
vernment have now six drying-houses, and it is calculated
that these establishments can supply annually from 15,000
to 20,000 kilogrammes of seed—a quantity sufficient to sow
5,000 acres; 473 nurseries were established in 1861, and
359 were added to them in 1862, capable of producing.
40.000,000 plants. These nurseries are spread over the
immense surface which it is proposed to plant. Many of
them situated near the large towns are so admirably ma-
naged that they may compete with the most celebrated
private establishments. Nothing, in fact, has been
neglected to encourage the planting of the waste moun-
tain lands, and annual conferences have been organised
for this purpose among all the agents appointed by the
Government.

THE FRAUDS BY AN ASSISTANT INCOME TAX
COLLECTOR, AT LEEDS.—Yesterday, at the Leeds
borough sessions, a young man named Stephen Ounsworth
ws.ur:nsa.u3, indicted for uttering counterfeit coin under the follow-
lOgllePcetcorulo_iafnr circumstances :—The prisoner had been ocea-
employed by his father-in-law, Mr. Thompson,
the amount iitnnheoame and property tax, to assist him in his
duties.

elOth of February, the prisoner called upon
went awa for payment of £1 Is.,
y, but returned
and a shilling. The prisoner
and he received

and he then

HOnartrhise,
was paid the money, but two hours
receive £26 58. He
turned to tbe house, and said thatuZ afterwards he re-
him a light sovereign. This coin, when produced had given
out to be a " flying horse" medal, and lyfr, turned
lieving the statement to be correct, exchanged Harris, be-
genuine sovereign. Afterwards, when Mr.
rnhoitmlon,
i for a
0 uns wort h' s father-in-law, called for the balance ofsm
Harris's account, the latter gentleman showed him the
medal. Mr. Thompson took it from Mr. Harris, gave him
a good sovereign for it, and threw it on the fire. On the
16th February the prisoner visited Mr. Moses Atkinson, to
obtain £3 15s. Mr. Atkinson paid him the money, but
whilst he was turning to get a pen and ink for the receipt the
prisoner said that two of the coins were "flying horse"
medals, upon which Mr. Atkinson exchanged them for two
sovereigns. In the latter case it was conclusively shown
that Mr. Atkinson had received the four sovereigns and
two £5 notes a day or two previously, from Mr. Briggs,
cloth merchant, Leeds ; that he had wrapped up the gold
in the notes and had not touched them afterwards
until Ounsworth called. Mr. Briggs and Mr. Atkin-
son both declared their belief in the goodness of the coins
which the latter gentleman had thus paid to Ounsworth.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced
to twelve months' imprisonment.
