ROYAL PREE HOSPITAL. Grav'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 BUCCLEUCH,
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-
pcnied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
Magnitude that, with adequate aurport, 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 eTatuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than t,OOO out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continue Rp:art,
to enable them to ,dmit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the 1, renpirer, Edward

and captures by the enemy the stock
mated at about 35,000 bales. The Confederate Government
has made extensive purchases of short stapled cotton altoebnet
offered for sale in Europe, but we have heard
pur-
chases by it of Sea Island. It is difficult to give an opinion
which would be accurate as to the quantity of S a
cotton which will be planted this st assn. Legislation has
restricted the culture of cotton this season to three bales to
the hand. A large proportion of the c)untry where this
staple is grown under the control of and has been ravaged
by the Federals. All the islands where the finer qualities
are raised have been abandoned, and the production will be
limited to the more inland counties yielding the quality
styled "commons ;" under no circumstances can the quan-
tity be large (perhaps a third), and there is no bagging in
which to pack it. Even when peace is obtained, and should
agricultural industry return to its normal condition, it will
be years before the quantity produced prior to the war can
be obtained. Many planters have removed their negroes
to more fertile lands in the interior and will turn their at-
tention to short staple, and, in all probability will no‘ re-
turn to the culture of Sea Island."
