ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road.
Patron—The QUEEN.

This Hospital is entirely devoted to destitution in its most
pitiable form, viz., that which is accompanied by sickness and
disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with ade-
quate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into
its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this
mat metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have
500 beds immediately available for the reception of these the
most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratui-
tously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the
average, than 2,000 out-patients a week.

THE LIVERPOOL and LONDON FIRE and
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

Established 1836.
Empowered by Special Acts of Parliament.

Offices, No. 1, Dale-street, Liverpool ; 20 and 21, Poultry,
London; Sheffield, Manchester, Glasgow; Sydney, Mel-
bourne, and New York.

This Company has attained a very high position amongst
the Insurance Institutions of Great Britain. Its annual
revenue exceeds £500,000. Its invested funds amount to
£1,260,000.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Premiums exceed £310,000, and place it in the first
Class of Fire Offices ; its liberality and promptitude in set-
tling claims have been established in the adjustment of error=
Mous losses ; and its influence in determining rates of Pre-
'llium has uniformly been given to proposals for improving
the character of risks that high Premiums may be unneces-
sary.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The Reserve in this Department has been increased by the
addition of upwards of £58,000 in the year 1860 alone. The
PTllfect of Bonuses is simple, involving no possible lability
of partnership ; liberal, guaranteeing a more than average
amount of benefit ; satisfyin,, because known at the date of
the Insurance, and therefore free from disappointment, un-
certainty, and doubt. The arrangements in other respects
are intended to render the Polices of THE LIVERPOOL AND
Lozmort perfect securities in the hands of third parties. The
Annual Premiums exceed £130,000; the accumulated reserve
Is £707,000.

ANNUITIES.
The payments by the Company exceed £19,000 per annum.
Every facility is afforded to persons purchasing Annuities to
enable their receipt at such times and places as may be con-
venient, and the terms ant rates will be foun I satisfactory.

S4PECTACLES.-SIGHT AND HEARING.-
DEAFNESS.—A newly-invented instrument for ex-
treme cases of deafness, called the SOUND MAGNIFIER,
Organic Vibrator, and Invisible Voice Conductor. It fits so
into the ear as not to be in the least perceptible ; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the head is entirely re-
moved. It affords instant relief to deaf persons, and enables
them to hear distinctly at Church and at public assemblies.
Every other kind of hearing instruments. Messrs. SOLO-
MONS have invented spectacle lenses of the greatest trans-
parent power. The valuable advantage derived from their
invention is, that vision becomes preserved and strengthened ;
very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the
most minute occupation, can see with these lenses of a much
less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent
changes to the dangerous effects of further.powerful assist-
ance.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York
