The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is upwards of 12,2 0; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 704 Silver Medals, and £15,250 in cash have been granted as rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £57,200 on Life-boat Establishments. The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts now being made by the Society to save the lives of Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions the Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-one Life-boats under its man agement, .or the maintenance of which 'n a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual - Income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra.

By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

THE TIMBER RESOURCES OF CANADA.—The prin cipal descriptions of timber found in the forests of Canada are—White, yellow, and red pine, white and black spruce, tamarac, white, rim, and black ash ; grey, red, soft, and rock elm; bird's•eye, white, and red oak; bird's-eye, curly, and soft maple; black and grey walnut, smooth and rough bark hickory, ironwood, red wild cherry, bass wood, beech, red and white cedar, homlock, fir poplar, chestnut, button wood, and white wood. For furniture and ornamental pur poses the luxuriant beauties of our crotched, wavy, and mottled black walnut are well known both here and in Europe ; also the beauties of our bird's-eye and curly maples, as well as of our curly birch, crotched white oak, and red wild cherry. The superior qualities of our white, red, and yellow pine are fully acknowledged in the markets of Europe. Our oaks, elms, and tamarac rank high for ship-building and general purposes. In fact, all our woods are susceptible of being utilised in the arts and manufac tures. Canada exports annually about 30,000,000 cubic feet of timber in a rough state, and about 400,000,000 feet, board measure, of sawed lumber. The revenue derived by the provinca during the year 1860 for timber cut in the Public forests amounted to about 500,000 dols, or £125,000 currency.—Canadian Areas, The adVertiseruent convening the meeting having been read, the chArrnan called upon` the secretary (Mr. Linford) to read the annual report, which was as follows The lloard of Mahagernehtlieg to present to the tnetnbers and friends of this fund their 21st Annual Report, which it affords them much gratification to state is (•f an extremely favourable character. The income for the year 1861 has been as follows;—Donation s 421 55., annual subscriptions, £528, ditto of os. and up war d s, from Assurers being clerks, £732, total, £1,281 ss. ; net proceeds of the dinner in May last, £2,593 178. 11d., interest, dividend's, tkc., XBB9 17s.

' The very handsome sum realised by the dinner, Which was held on the 30th May last, under the presidency of the Right Hon. the Lerd Mayor, will, doubtless, be remarked with satisfaction by the members. It will be remembered that, with a View to assist and strengthen the efferis of the board on behalf of this valuable fund, a' personal appeal was ad dressed to every member, earnestly soliciting his co-opera tion. Ihe result of this appeal has. been in the highest degree gratifying, not only from the pectiniary results, but from the kindly feeling exhibited among •the members at large, which the board desire to acknowledge most cor dially, and the encouragement thUs afforded to the board in their own exertions. Several cases pf immediate and press ing neeessity have come before trig board during the past year, and the sum of £245 2a - Acas bee& depended in gra tuities towards assisting the a , iirtlierr 'need. -Pal... suant to the resolution of jh. • eve* meeting on the 6th February . ; 18q1,4i3i elec • • ThA t , ta • on the 28th of May last, when the. o Owing weft) - Create , 4etz --one'elerk to an annuity of A39,'orie widow to an annuity of £2 two widows to annuities of £l6 each, making a total of £BO per annum. Three annuities of .415 each hate fallen in during the past year ; one by death, one by the re-marriage of the annuitant; and one from the voluntary relinquish ment of the anniiity by the Widow rec e ivi n g it , i n conse quence of an improvement in her circumstances, There are now upon the fand 11 clerks and 48 widows, who are receiving collectively £1,070 per annum. The board now recommend that eight additional annuites be granted, vii., two clerks and six widows of clerks. A. resolution to the above effect will be submitted to the meeting. The board trust that the zitriking eVidenee Which the accounts of the past year exhibit of the results that can be achieved when their exertions are cordially supported by the members, will, for the future, secure a continuance of that support. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he had been most unexpectedly called upon to preside over the meeting by the unavoidable absence of _their worthy treasurer and honourable friend, John Abel Smith, Esq. In fulfilling that post his duty was one of a very agreeable and easy character, inasmuch as he had only to Congratulate the members of the society on the great success which had attended their operations. After an existence of twenty years and upwards, the insti tution had now arrived at a state of maturity, which he hoped firmly established its future prosperity. The necessity for such an association was abundantly proved by the great advantages which accrued from it. He need hardly tell them that it had the effect of encouraging amongst its mombers that spirit of frugality and providence which was the best guarantee for independence in after life. One great principle in the working of this institution, was, that it granted loans to members who, from misfor tune, and not from improvidence, were reduced to tempo rary want, and it was gratifying to learn that the large sum which had been so advanced had been applied in such a manner that the losses incurred had been very trifling in deed. As he had been amongst the earliest promoters of the institution, he was extremely happy to see it established on so secure and permanent a basis. He regretted a previous engagement prevented him the pleasure of re maining with them to the close of their proceedings, and therefore after formally moving the adoption of the report, he would ask their valued friend, Mr. Richard Jones, to take the chair he was compelled to vacate. Mr. H. JONES having complied with the request, said before putting the motion for the adoption of the report, as it was the anniversary of the 21st year of the existence of the fund, a few words from him would not be out of place. In the first place he wished to direct the attention of the meeting to what had been done. During the time the fund had been in existence they had spent no less a sum than £2,000 in gratuities, which had been of the greatest benefit to those it had been given—(cheers)—and above £9,000 in granting annuities. (Cheers.) Such facts spoke for themselves. Those gentlemen present who had attended the public dinner at the end of the month of May last year would, perhaps, recollect that when he had the honour of addressing them on behalf of the bene volent fund he urged them to be liberal in their donations, as it would perhaps be the means of increasing tho number of annuitants at their next election. (Hear.) That appeal was most generously responded to, and now they had the satisfaction of hearing that in place of the number usually elected the directors had been enabled to double it, by electing eight annuitants instead of four. (Cheers.) The directors had also lent out during the past year a consider able sum in loans from £25 and under amongst the mem bers who had stood in need of temporary assistance; and ho was happy to find that those loans had been punctually repaid with very trifling loss. The directors knew that the money had been of the greatest assistance to those who had had it, and he had only now to urge them in the strongest manner to go on and prosper in the good work they had undertaken. (Cheers ) The adoption of the report was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. Mr. WELCH, deputy-chairman of the Life Assurance Branch, in moving the next resolution, said no one could feel more gratified at the announcement which it made than he did, as it was more especially the chairman and himself that became acquainted with the distresses of the applicants for relief. The communications were received in the most confidential manner, and the unfortunate circumstances with which they were made acquainted were never allowed to pass out of the board-room. (Hear, hear.) When he found by the resolution that it was proposed to add two clerks and six widows to their annuitants, which would then amount to 67—(cheers)---ho thought every one of them would go home that night, feeling a delight and pleasure that they had contributed towards the aid of those who stood in need of assistance. (Cheers.) He thought that every:one must feel a pleasure in administering to the wants of others, and the clerks, respected as they were as a body, were no exception to the general rule, for some of them could not tell how soon misfortune and sickness would over take them. In such a necessity what substantial assistance did not the benevolent fund hold out to them. (Cheers.) He knew that some objected to the proposed assistance, as it looked like receiving charity, but to those he said it was not so ; it was an independent fund, to which they had con tributed in health, and to which in sickness or distress they had a right to ask for assistance. (Cheers.) Then again, with respect to the facility with which members obtain loans from it. He knew an instance where a highly respect table clerk obtained a loan of £25 to apprentice his son, which he honourably and punctually paid, and then in a short time after he again applied for a similar loan for the same purpose, which was granted. He did not think that that looked as if he thought the fund was a charity. (Hear, hear.) He looked upon it as an independent fund, where all could go as a right, rather than run the risk of getting a refusal and the cold shoulder from his friends or acquain tances. (Cheers.) As a means of meeting temporary em barrassment the fund was all that could be wished or re quired, and he urged the clerks of the metropolis to give it their best and most energetic support. Many might not stand in need of its assistance, but then they ought to come forward and support it as a principle, and also for those who had not been so advantageously placed in the w or ld. (Cheers.) He begged to move that eight additional an nuitants, viz., two clerks and six Widows of c l er k s , b e added to to oth6. the number of annuitants, Mr. COLEMAN felt great plea s ure in seconding the nuitants Which would th en reso lution. He thought the amount annually given as annui ties ought to be a sufficient sti mulus for the clerks as a body to come forward and su pp o rt the benevolent fund. might bring forth, and meeting misfortune strength.

(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said it only remained for him to add his mite of praise, and that was, that all the gentlemen richly deserved everything they could afford to give them (Hear.) The resolution was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was returned to the press for the sup port it had given to this institution, and to the chairman for his constant attention to the interests of the fund.

The Dane was the first to show the way, having Tippler, Nosegay, Dora, and Quicksilver in the order given. On passing the Stand the favourite had a clear lead, which was lessened on going up the hill, where Tippler went to the front, and led over the next flight of hurdles ; Nosegay and The Dane lying next, side by side, Dora about six lengths behind the two, Quicksilver several lengths in the rear. On clearing the hurdles close to the mile post Nosegay deprived Tip pler of the command, which was soon accomplished by The Dane, the French representative falling into the third place. Oncharging the last flight of hurdles, Nosegay was about a length ahead of The Dane, who hit the top, and lost thereby another length. This the favourite was never able to recover, Nosegay coming in an easy winner by three lengths. Tippler persevered and finished a bad third, Dora fourth, Quicksilver last.

Although he has much local opposition to encounter, yet he has established a meet ing, which, if it had been appointed earlier, would have been an immense success. The unfortunate clashing with the last day at Lincoln prevented many persons whose patronage was valuable from visiting the meeting, but those who did attend were amused.

Nightingale weighed for Escape (10st 121 b), but the horse did not go to the post. The start took place in the field beyond the stand, and Cork screw was the first to show the way, Marmion, Eheu, and Venison following in the order named. On coming to the first fence the attempts to get over it brought half the field to grief, and only Corkscrew (leading), Ascot, and Venison were seen in the race. Sunbeam, who had refused at the awkward quickset fence, was soon in hot pursuit. The four mentioned ran without a material change in position, Cork screw still going on a head. After jumping the fence in the dip they took pretty close order, and on passing the stand, Sunbeam was on good terms with the leaders. They ran thus up the hill, but at the " awkward quickset" Venison fell. The race was now left to Corkscrew, Ascot, and Sunbeam. At the drop fence, a nasty "stubby" one, Ascot, who was running at the heels of Corkscrew, blundered right into it, and sent Salt out of the saddle. Corkscrew and Sunbeam, to whom the race was, after that mishap, left, alternately led, and raced together to the last jump (in a dip about a dia -1 tance from home), Corkscrew clearing the obstacle slightly in advance. A very exciting race in ended in a dead heat. Ascot followed the leaders riderless to the last fence, where he was caught, and only the two first passed the post. Sunbeam afterwards walked over, and the stakes were divided ; the officials, who insisted on this arrangement, thus wisely not adhering to the Carmarthen precedent, and thereby preventing much misunderstanding.

Brine was out of the race almost as soon as the flag fell ; Chatterbox led past the stand and up the hill, when he refused a fence, after going aLout half the distance, and Savernake completed the remainder of the distance by himself and came in alone.

The following statements show such an array of generals in the Northern forces as bids fair to rival that in the Spanish Arms -list, or our own during the Irish Rebel lion of 1798, when a corporal's guard could hardly be moved from one village to another unless under the command of a general officer, The Southern list is more moderate, and therefore, we think, more discreet.

In consequence of the increasing number of arpli cations made to the authorities at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, for qualified non-commissioned officers belonging to that branch of the service to instruct the various Volun teer Engineer corps recently formed, orders have been issued from the office of Col. Chapman, C. 8., Deputy-Adjt.-Gen., to the commanding officers at the several stations occupied by Royal En gineers, directing a certain number of the most intelligent and skilful of the non- comet ussaened officers to be selected from the several com p anies for special instruction, to qualify the m for the appointment of Engineer Volunteer i nstructors. The names of the non-commissione d officers selected will be forwarded to the Hor se Guards, and on their approval they will be sent up to head-quar ters, Chatham, where they w ill be put through a practical and theoretical course of instructio n i n every department connected wi th the art of milit ary engineering, in nec ted wi readi ne ss to be transferred t o th ose Volunteer Corps which may make applicati on f or their services during the approaching summer. In addition to their other studies, the non - commissioned officersrse of selec t ed go through a u and battalio n d r ill , i n order to c ompany for instructors will co render them as perfect as possible in their military duties. In accordance with orders received from the Horse Guards, a number of non-commissioned officers and men, selected from the 17th company of Royal /Engineers, at headquarters, left Chatham yesterday for Aldershott to assist the Royal Engi neers of the 24th company in completing the bloek of stables for the cavalry now in course of erection at the camp. Th e men despatched from Chatham were chiefly smiths and carpenters, persons of those trades being now most in request at the camp. Thelii:Oceedings of the National Assaciatioil (or which his Royal Highness the Commander-hi,- Chief is president), for determining the selectiotr ! of rifles intended to be used at the forthcoming meeting on Wimbledon-common, and which were commenced on Wednesday morning at ' the Government range, in Woolwich-marsh,, were resumed yesterday names were given yesterday by the competitive list of gunmakers, whose na detail. The operations, officially announced to com mence on'each day at half-past 10 o'clock, were again delayed yest er d a y un til 1 p. m ., on accoun t o f a .rg ii 3. ,solutio n on the part of the Council to postpone 'We' continuation of the long range firing of. 1,000 yr.rclt, commended en the former day, -- to a later period, and to commence that day's proceedings over the short range. On this subject an opposition I,ve.s raised by the competitors who had alreatly borne , the brunt of the adverse weather of Wednesday,. and which still prev.tiled to the equal disadvantegu of their remaining opponents' contest—Mr. Henr i y and Mr. Whitrth: , Mr. 'ferry, one of the most eminent members of the . profession, who with thi' rest had gone through the first day's ordeal, sug gested that the wind, which had - Offered a serious impediment to their own firing, may, in all proba bility lull or veer round to a less objectionable quar ter, and thus influence considerably the flight of the shot in their opponents' favour. This objection occasioned a consultation and delay The two com petitors were at length at their posts, and the eight trial shots on each side were fired, when.Mr—Whit worth signified 'his desire (most unexpectedly) that the shed appropriated for his use should be re stricted to himself and his agents, and visitors were requested to retire. Mr. Whitworth then solicited to be allowed two additional trial shots, which re quest the Council had denied to his colleagues, but which, it appears, they were willing to accord to him, under the denomination of "preparatory shots." This anomaly created a great sensation outside, as the same favour had been urged by others, and re fused, the impression being general that Mr. Whit worth had been permitted to deviate in many in stances from the regulations to which they had sub scribed, and that, after the elevation of the mecha nical rest had been fixed, he had disturbed and al tered its position. This was affirmed by those who witnessed the act and made their complaint to Gen. - Hay, after the firing. In consequence of these nu merous hindrances and objections, the great portion of the day had passed, and time only remained for the firing of the letters A and B, viz., Mr. Terry and Mr. Rigby, in their first contest of one rifle each over the short range, the result of which it is considered advisable to give at the close of the proceedings. A number of additional visitors, attracted by the announcements in the public journals, were yesterday present, among whom were Gen. Boileau, Royal Engineers (late Indian army), Captain Blakely, Mr. Brindley Richards, Captain Lynch, East India Company's navy, and others, who evinced great interest in the proceed ings, which, it was announced, would be resumed this morning at the same hour. His Roy al High ness the Duke of Cambridge will take the chair at a meeting of the association, to be held in Willis's Rooms to-morrow, the Ist of March, at half-past two o'clock. FEARFUL BOIL D UD ER EXPLOSION LEY , NEAR SIX MEN KILTED. A fearful boiler explosion occurred yesterday (Thursday) morning, at the Corbyns Hall Iron works (Messrs. Blackwell and Sparrow) situated about two miles from Dudley. The boiler wag about 30 horse power, and its main use . was the working of a powerful steam hammer. At six o'clock a number of men were at work in the puddling furnaces, when the explosion took place. The roof of the furnace was immediately broken through by a mass of falling debris, and the whole place presented a scene of wreck. The boiler was carried about 100 yards from its seat, alighting near the offices of the works. Four of the workmen, who were buried underneath the debris, were killed. Their names aro Thomas Had ley, puddler ; Christopher Morris, underhand ; Daniel Mason, ash Tiddler; and Edward Newman, puddler. Ten or twelve others .were seriously in jured—some of them so seriously - that no hopes are entertained of their recovery. The cause of the explosion is at present a mystery. A later account states that two of the men in- jured have since died, and that two others are not expected to live many hours. ASSIZE IN7'ELLIGEACR. ~w~y~~ _„G~ NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Feb. 27. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) THE MURDER OF A TAX COLLECTOR. George Clark was this morning placed at the bar charged with the murder of Mr. Mark Frater, tax collector. Mr. Davison and Mr. G. Bruce appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoner conducted his own. defence. The facts, as stated by the counsel for the prose cution,_were shortly these. Mr. Mark Frater, a gentleman 45 years of age, had been for many years employed in Newcastle as a collector of land and. assessed taxes. Mr. Frater resided at a place called. Bulman's Village, about a mile and a half or two miles distant from the town, but for the purpose of his business as collector of assessed taxes, he oc cupied in Blackett-stieet, at the time of the occur rence, certain offices, and his habit was to go by an omnibus, which plies between Bulman's Village and the town, somewhere about half past nine o'clock in the morning, attend to his business during the course of the day, and return home some time in the a ft er noon._ On the morning of the Ist of October h e got off the omnibus near the corner of Blackett-street , an d a Mr. Horn approached and entered into conversation with him, and shortly after the prisoner came up arm from round s F tr r u at e e k r h b im y putting his h i someth l i e n t a t in his hand. A short struggle took place, Mr. Frater became disengaged, and Mr. Horn then. observed blood running from bis neck. The prisoner was apprehended, and from him was taken a knife with blood upon it. Some observations were made by Mr. Frater, he was got into the house, and in the space of seven or ten minutes was a corpse. As would be to oti ll intention of the man w h o s t ruc k the blow, it be shown that malice had been ranking in prisoner's mind towards Mr. Frater for a considerable period. On the 18th May the prisoner was alleged to be in arrear for a half year's dog tax, and Mr. Frater, as he was bound to do, issued a distress warrant upon the tools of the prisoner's trade, for he was a rable illwill on the part of the chair maker. ,That seemed to havecapursiseodnaervteorywcaorndssitdhee persons engaged in the transaction , and on the first 18th of May, the prisoner said to l i iff ll s, m " ali f e you pay dearly for bailiffs, was told by Cook, to whom ho you or Mr. Frater h idt s s tT p re o en k tu e d n rany t fit h ha a fe t tine ihe tools had been taken to Mr. T Co u o e k sci , aoyneafotefr theee Frater's ofice. Six weeks after that time, bringing it down to the la tter end of September, and not long before the occurrence, they heard him again nthemspeak- Cook shortly about m tl, tools, make and saying 's it." On the 25th of Septembery If you don't o p u ri p o a n y er d w ea a r s ly se f e o n in the work s h o p w ith a k n i fe, and sr when asked what he was going t o d o w ith i t, he replied, " It's for my r eturn g t o enemies." At that time the blade of the knife was round at the end. And the same man afterwards saw the prisoner knocking at it with a cold chisel. The knife taken from him showed that it had been. struck with some instrument of that sort, and in stead of a round point, one side had been taken off, thereby le • leaving a sharp and angular point. The next day prisoner was seen to take out of the box where they kept the tools something having a handle resembling that of a knife. During the address of the learned counsel, lie wns frequently interrupted by the remarks of the Pri soner. Evidence having been called in support of the above facts, Clark refused to have acounsel allotted to him to defend him, and comported himself cur ' ing the solemn inquiry in such a strange manner, that it would be difficult to say whether he really was insane or merely acting. Upon being called for his defence, he entered into a long story with regard to the seizure of his tools for dog tax—and alleged that when he went into Blaekett-street he so found that Mr. Frater had stabbner)ed merely himself with a knife, and that he (the pri somewhat good ol(lw i e . ab u a s s u h a e l d terms. after of t s w a o i d h o t u o r st the e n d a quarter, th e jury returned into court with a verdict o f guilty, and sentence of d eath was p assed in knife out of his hand. • After an absence You who are was a t i h ud e f ge ” , on leav ing the sentence, An nn nuns° concourse of people Nv ing T t h h e e p e r o f u so r n t e; ‘ , as present.
