Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without thefor-
mality of governors' let rers. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
Pealed by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
Magnitude that, with adequate support, it may he 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 supp—t,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
he beginning of the year 18(30, 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;
_
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 £fi7,( 00 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-carriages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express the it grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few yeas-s, a support which
has enab'ed them to establish their press .nt magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rears on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the na,,inag,ement of their
boats, whi h can only be effected by a lax ge 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.

Captains Speke and Grant at the Royal
Institution.

An extra meeting of the Royal Society—the session
having recently terminated—was held yesterday evening in
the lecture-room of the institution, Albemarle-street. So
far from having been exhausted or perceptibly diminished
at the dense gathering at Burlington House on the prece.
ding evening, the curiosity of the scientific and fashionable
world seemed to have acquired increased intensity, and the
rush, though better regulated, was equally vehement with
that witnessed at the rooms of the Royal Geographical
Society. From half-past seven until nine, the hour at
which the proceedings of the society always commence,there
was a con inuous arrival of carriages in Albemarle-street ,
by a quarter to 8 the entrance and staircase had become
completely blocked that the barrier, instead of being kept
up till the appointed hour of 8, was prudently lowered to
make way for fresh corners. The issue of tickets to non-
members, as well as the exercise of the privilege of members
had, as already intimated, been wisely limited to the actual
capacity of the room ; but long before 9 o'clock every avail-
able seat was occupied, the attendance of ladies at least
equalling that of gentlemen. The comfort of ventilation
was amply provided for. The two African boys brought
by the heroes of the Nile from the neighbourhood of the
great Lake Victoria Nyanza, the now ascertained source of
the Nile, were in the theatre an hour before the meeting
began, attired, the one in red, and the other in a blue
woollen suit, wearing a fez cap, and seemed to enjoy the
glances directed towards them, apparently regarding them-
selves no insignificant part of the evening's entertainment.
As an aid to the narrative of the discovery of the
Nile,large maps were suspended on the walls indicating the
route of the distinguished travellers and the general cha-
racter of the scenery along the banks of the river. Vivid
photographs of many of the scenes witnessed and places_
rnrillteirlictlfe-faii-Olis fa-Ks of the interior were provided ;
and Professor Faraday, in inviting attention to them after
the close of the meeting, shortly before the proceedings com-
menced, created some amusement by naively remarking that
the authorities hoped that, for the sake of the character of
the house, none of them would disappear during the process
of inspection.
In accordance with the announcement made by Sir
Roderick Murchison at Burlington House on Monday even-
ing, the Prince of Wales arrived about 9 o'clock, accom-
panied by the Count of Paris. His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, on entering the lecture-room, was en-
thusiastically
greeted, the assembly rising to receive him.
His Royal Highness was at once conducted by several
members of the council to the chair, which he occupied as
president of the meeting.
Captain SPEKE, who was received with loud cheers, then
proceeded to deliver a lecture consisting mainly of a history
of `the tribe called " The Wahuma," to which the two
African boys before alluded to belong, a tribe to whose as-
sistance he acknowledges himself to be mainly indebted for
having been enabled to discover the source of the Nile. He
traced the history of this nation as a part of the Ethiopic race
back to a very remote period, and followed it through its
various phases down to the present day. Unlike the pure
negroes they had, he observed, a bridged instead of a bridge-
less nose, and were physically a very fine race. Their coun-
try had till recently been generally called Kattara—an ap-
pellation which was now comparatively disappearing. The
nation was, he believed, schemetic, though it was difficult
to track it through its successive changes. The lecturer, in
the course of his narrative, gave a number of genealogical
and traditionary details, which he enlivened by many ludi-
crous incidents and sayings derived from native records. On
the occasion of the accession of a new sovereign, all the sons
of some hundreds of royal wives were killed except two, who
were preserved to provide for cases of accident. (Great
laughter, in which the Prince of Wales joined.) The enu-
meration of the royal officers included first and second-class
executioners, and men who whistled on their fingers.
(Laughter.) The present salutations were, the lecturer re-
marked, most laborious, forming at court a great impedi-
ment to business. Women attended the sovereign with
lizards on their heads to keep away evil spirits, and messen-
gers who must never walk were in constant readiness.
There was a commander-in-chief and a high admiral to
carry out the royal orders ; and their duties consisted chiefly
in levying duties by war on neighbouring nations, The dis-
cipline of the exterior court was strict, but that of the inte-
rior court was far more severe. Should a wife be guilty of
any indiscretion she was instantly carried off to execu-
tion ; and strong naked women acted as servants. The king
sometimes spent a fortnight yachting on the Murchison
Frith ; but wherever he went the same ceremonies pre-
vailed. The coronation was a matter of great importance,
and when it was performed the king took leave of his
mother, and his brothers were burned to death. Captain
Speke then described the progress of himself and his fellow-
travellers throughk the equatorial regions, filling up with
interesting and amusing details his sketch of the previous
evening, which appeared at length in Ihe Sun of yesterday.
Having spoken about an hour, the gallant explorer concluded
amid loud cheers.

Immediately after the Prince of Wales and the Count of
Paris inspected the photographs before referred to, and
having completed their examination, they retired.
Ihe proceedings then terminated.
It should be added that Captain Grant was present, but
did not speak.
