ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terrninug, 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 hoard feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to b dmit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions arc received by the, Treasurer, Edward
Dias erman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Contts and
Co. ; Drummond and Co. ; Herries and Co. ; Ransom and
Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith, Payne. and Co. Glyn
and Co. ; Jones Loyd and Co. ; Barclay and Co. ; Denison
and Co. ; Mains, Deacon, and Co. ; Overend, Gurney, and
Co. ; Nisbet and Co. ; Messrs, J. Barned and Co., Liverpool
and at the Hospital.

STANFORD S. SMITH., Secretary.

The town of Zug (Switzerland) was visited last
week by a violent thunderstorm, accompanied by a
heavy fall of hail,
riar. Just as the fury of the storm was beginning to sub-
mrst unusual there at this season of the
side, the lightning struck the tower called the Zeilthurm,
standing in the middle of the town, and the roof was im •
mediately in a blaze. Apprehensions were at
first enter-
tained that the conflagration would extend to the neigh-
bouring edifices ; but, thanks to the efforts of the firemen,
the damage was limited to the roof of the tower.
Advises from Venice state that the authorities
have done everything in their power to secure the opening
of the Grand Fenice Theatre. The shareholders met a
few days since to take the subject into consideration ; but,
in spite of warm addresses irom the authorities, and among
others from M. Calvi, representing the Prefecture of Fi-
once, the motion was rejsctod by 45 votes to 9,
