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:
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,980 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,( 'OO on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-cart cages, 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
nt 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
revs on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whi^h can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholdinog, and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.

This was the first hospital to introduce the prin. r, , f free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the 1-e-
for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which
prnied by sickness and disease, and is now of suffice?emni
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion ot
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 medleine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly floard feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued supptirt,
to enable them to edmit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
