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 BUCCLEUCII, 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
SthEARNET APPEAL to the public for continued import, to enable em to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward Masterman, Esq. Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and
Co. ; Drummond' and Co. ; Berries and Co. ; Ransom and
CO. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith, Payne, and Co. ; Glyn
and Co. ; Jones Loyd and Co. ; Barclay and Co. ; Denison

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since

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;
lor which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and.
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended X 67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporti ng-carz iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful ',ler.se of
the generous support which they have receiver from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their preser.i magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of file 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, whith 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.
