Westminster,
It has long been felt that Torquay. with its large, wealthy,
a
in,,,,reasing population, and the great number of visitors
who, resort to it both in wint,r and summer for health and
pleasure stands much in need of the accommodation of a
rst-class modern Hotel of the character so successfully esta-
blished in London and some of the leadiag watering places
of England and en the Continent.
This Company is formed o supply this requisite, and a
most eligible site, upon which the favourite residence of Col.
'ilkeYrick now stands, has been secured for the purpose.
The Hotel, with pleasure grounds of considerable extent
sloping to the sea, will have a southern aspect, and occupy a
situation generally c..nsidered the most salubrious in Tor-
...quay. Here the invalid may enjoy the benefits of an Italian
winter without losing the comforts ot an English residence.
'the property selected commands one of those delightful
ssea views which have contributed to obtain for Torquay the
high reputation it has so long enjoyed.
Provisional arrangements have been made with the pro-
prietor of the Royal Hotel, whereby the Company wilt be
Placed at once in possession of a valuable connection and
lucrative business on most favourable terms. The Company
Will thus obtain an immediate source of, profit, with the op-
portunity of ensuring prospective advantages.
The experience of the last few years has abundantly shown
that the attractions of the modern first-class Hotel are
eagerly sought atter, and having regard to this circumstance,
and to the determination of the Directors to combine in every
dePartment a judicious supervision with the highest attain-
able excellence of management, no reasonable doubt can be
entertained that the present undertaking will prove success-
ful and amply remunerative to the shareholders.
Torbay and the immediate Channel have long been known
to yachtsmen as one of the most unrivalled cruising gr.. unds
onthe English coast. A valuable accessory will be foun lin
the new harbour, the formation of which in the immediate
vicir ity of the town is contemplated, and which, when c,m-
Pleted, will afford greatly increased accommodation for the
anchorage of yachts.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL. Grav's-inn-road,
in the immediate veinity of the Great Northern Rail-
Way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCL E.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-
Malay of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—VlZ., that which is secom-
Pc-nied by sickness and disease, and i s. 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. 31 creover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly tloard feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued suppctt,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
"117 present themselves.
