Moe-Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease
and closeness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A descriptive circular may be had, and the

KEATING'S PERSIAN INSECT DESTROY-
ING POWDER, for which a Prize Medal was awarded
to the Producer at the International Exhibition, 1862,
This Powder is quite harmless to animal life, but is un-
rivalled in destroying Fleas, Bugs, Flies, Cockroaches,
Beetles, Gnats, Mosquitos, bloths in furs, and every other
species of Insect.

Sportsmen will find this an invaluable remedy for destroy-
ing Fleas in their Dogs, as also Ladies for their Pet Dogs.
Being the original importer of this now invaluable article,
which has found so great a sale that it has tempted others to
vend a so-called article, the public are therefore cautioned to
observe that the packets of the Genuine Powder bear the
autogragh of THOMAS KEATING
Sold in packets, ls., 2s. 6d., and 4s. 6d. each, or post free for

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 imperativecontin duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for ued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Bias terman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Contts and

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that. since
he beginning of the 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 Medals, 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-cart 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 NAVY.

Her Majesty's iron steam storeship Industry,
Master Commander Edward C. T. Youel, which has
recently been commissioned and refitted for foreign
service, was yesterday proceeding alongside the
coal hulk Mercury, off Woolwich dockyard, in tow
of the stearntug Bustler, in charge of the dockyard
authorities, when, holding her way too strong, she
fouled the bows of her Majesty's ship Supply. The
injuries sustained by the latter vessel are but slight.
The foremast of the Industry, however, which was
quite rotten inside, was carried away, and fellover
in three pieces on the deck. The occurrence was,
no doubt, exceedingly fortunate, as on examination
of the wreck it is palpably certain that the mast
must have gone with the first strong breeze the In-
dustry would experience in her approaching voyage
to the African coast. Fortunately only one man
man, a rigger, was injured, and but slightly.
