This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destimte sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown. Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co, ;
Ilerries and Co.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and
Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co.; Barclay and Co. ; Williams,

SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &c.
ADMIRALTY, Bth August, 1868.
THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD-
MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the
arrangements for the ADMISSION of persons, not already
in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval
Architecture and Marine Engineering a ADMIRALTY
PUPILS, will, for the present year, be as follows :
Candidates must not be less than 18 or more than 21
years of age, and must have served at least two years in
private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or
must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way
been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera-
tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin-
ciples and practice thereof.
The pupils will be selected by competitive examination,
the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for
each, are as follows:

Marks.
Pure mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura-
tion, geometry (plain and descriptive), plane tri-
gonometry, and the elements of the differential
and integral calculus ... 2,500
Applied mathematics, including mechanics and
hydrostatics
..„ „.. 1,000
Practical shipbuilding, including laying-off (for
shipwright's candidates only) 2,500
Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi-
dates only) ... ..„ 2,500
French ... 500
Elements of physic and chymistry ..„ 750
English grammar and composition 750
Geography and History 750

No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at
least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two
first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number,
either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering.
The last four subjects, although counting in the compe-
tition, will not be considered obligatory.
The candidates who may be selected will be treated,
while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi-
ralty pupils; they will recaive wages the same as dock-
yard apprentices, commencing at Is. Gd. per day for six
days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per
day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a subsist-
ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week
while away from their homes, either at the S.:lool or in
the dockyards.

Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May
—will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining
five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi-
cal knowledge in the dockyards.
It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en-
gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of
their course of study; and they must rely on their own
worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ-
ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils
to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer.
Persons desirous of competing must forward their names,
with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which
they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing
proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, not later than the Ist September.
The candidates should also state whether they wish to
be examined as engineers or shipwrights.
The examination will take place on the 28th September
and three following days.
By command of their Lordships,
HENRY GORDON LENNOX.
