HALF-YEARLY MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) The ordinary meeting of the proprietors was held this day, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The chair was occupied by J. Byng, Esq. The CeAIRMAN in moving the adoption of the directors' half-yearly report said he intended to refer but very briefly to the document, as he felt satisfied that the shareholders would find it clear, explicit, and satisfactory. (Hear.) The revenue account showed an increase under every head, and he felt extremely gratified in announcing that, owing to this circumstance, the proprietors were entitled to a much larger dividend than was usual. With the exception of the Agricultural Society's Exhibition at Canterbury, there had been no special circumstance to account for such increase; and when it was considered that they had to contend with the late wet weather, it was satisfactory to find that the increase was entirely owing to local and ordinary causes, although the return to the company was yet inadequate to the large sums invested in making their line, yet it was highly encouraging to find that they were now beginning to receive a better return for the great amount they had laid out. The chairman then proceeded to refer to the accounts in the report, which stated that the revenue of the company for the half-year ending the 31st of July exhibited an increase of £38,532, the gross receipts for the period having been £563,450 as compared with £524,919 in the corresponding six months for 1859. The ordinary working expenses during the half year amounted to £213,024; the rates, taxes, tolls, and Govern ment duly, to £33,642; and the working of the steam packet service to £16,021. After providing for the fixed charges in respect of rents, interest, annuities, preference dividends, there remained a net balance of £176,827 avail able for dividend on the ordinary consolidated stock of the company. A dividend of 14s. per £3O stock, or of £4 13s. 4d. per cent. per annum,which would absorb L 173,453, and leave £2,374. With respect to the Charing-cross station he thought it would be highly advantageous to the company, and bring a large increase to their traffic. It was certainly true that their station at London bridge was a moat cousinOdiona and convenient ono, and that was all very well for the city, but cer tainly it did not afford those facilities for the west end of the town, at which a large number of persons who tra velled by the South-Eastern Railway resided. On the completion of the station at Charing-cross a large increase of business must take place, and would yield a return which would more than cover the additional capital taken by this company. Applications had been made from the Charing-cross board with reference to the capital of the company remaining unsubscribed, and the opportunity thus occurred of increasing the interest of the South- Eastern in the undertaking. They directors therefore re commended that they should be authorised to subscribe a further sum towards the construction of that railway. Of course such a determination would render it necessary toap ply to Parliament for the requisite powers ; but in the mean time the directors wished to be invested with such powers as would enable them to push forward the works, so that the line might be completed with the least possible delay. The hon. gentleman concluded his remarks by formally moving the adoption of the report. Mr. THOMPSON seconded the motion of the chairman. Mr. ADAMS said, before the motion was put to the meet ing, he wished to say that he did not think so highly of the Charing-cross Railway as the chairman, and he could not help thinking that it would tend to diminish their now increasing dividend. Another PROPRIETOR was of quite the contrary opinion. He thought it a most important undertaking, and one which would be attended with great success to the South- Eastern. Railway. Several proprietors having complimented the directors as to the admirable manner in which the accounts were kept, . . The CHAIRMAN rose to put the resolution for the adop• tion of the report, and stated that the directors were deter mined never to recommend the expenditure of a single shilling without it was for the benefit of the compan3 (Cheers.) The motion was carried unanimously. A resolution empowering the directors to pay the dividend on the 6th of September was also agreed to unanimously. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors terminated the proceedings. POLICE INTELLIGEN VE-( THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COIAITTAL FOR FURIOUS DRIVING.—AndOIiUII Bet , . tram, 17, John-street, Edgware-road, badge 3,542, was charged before Mr. Beadon with being drunk and furiously driving a horse and cab, 10,267, in New Bond-street.. John Lewis, 9, Little Grosvenor-street, a private watch man, said that between one and two that morning he saw the defendant in Bond-street furiously driving. He ran on the pavement against a post, and knocked him down, hurting his leg very much, but was prevented from doing further mischief by coming in contact with another post. The defendant was very drunk at the time. The defendant said he had been to Cremerne Gardens. and that he was sorry for it. Mr. Beadon said it was only a shert time ago that he committed a cabman for seriously injuring a lady and gentleman by his furious driving. H e should endeavour to stop it, and should commit the defendant for a month with hard labour. The complainant asked whether he could not have some compensation for his leg, which had been smashed, and Mr. Beadon very kindly ordered him a few shillings from the funds of the court. THAMES. SHOP-LIFTING.--Two young women, named Ellen Hutchfield and Harriet Davis, were brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing six pieces of ribbon from linen-drapers' shops in Limehouse. Eliza Dawes, shopwoman to Miss Harris Agar, in Three Colt-street, said the prisoners came to the shop of her mis tress yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, and asked to be shown some ribbons. They looked at seve ral pieces, remained some time in the shop, and after making a small purchase departed. Directly afterwards she re ceived information which caused her to look over the boxes of ribbons inspected by the prisoners and missed two pieces. She went out to look after the pri soners, and found them in the shop of Mr. Thomas Hatchett, 69 and 70, Three Colt-street, where she found them looking at ribbons. She accused them of stealing two pieces of ribbons, and, after some denials on the part of the prisoners the elder prisoner Hatchfield said to the younger one DaTis, give them to her, to which Davis said, " No, I won't." Witness then put her hand in the bosom of the prisoner Davis, and dragged from her six pieces of ribbon. Two of them belonged to Miss Agar. She sent for a policeman and gave the prisoners into cus tody. The policeman took from Dacia five pairs of gloves, which had also been stolen. They were the property of Miss Agar. Moses Michalls, No 97. K, said the prisoners were un known. They had no money upon them. Two of the pieces of ribbon had not been identified. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and Mr. Yardley said it was a case of deli berate shop lifting, and sentenced them to three months imprisonment and hard lahoun THE VOL VEMENT. The first'official inspection of the Birmingham Battalion took place on Monday evening in Cal thorpe-park by Major Dick, as was briefly an nounced in The Sun of Tuesday. Eleven companies mustered, under the command of Major Mason. The inspection and review in the park having ter minated, Major Dick addressed the corps. He said:— " I have the pleasure of expressing my congratulations to-day, for you have undoubtedly performed the movements in a very satisfactory manner. Your conduct in line has been admirable, your manual and platoon exercise has been very excellent, and quite calculated to prepare you for that firing practice to which I consider you equal. This is the first occasion on which I have had the honour of inspecting a corps in the district which has been allotted to me, and I shall be glad to find every corps under my inspection equal to you. I hope that you will go on as you have begun, in which case you will become a most efficient corps." This address was received with much applause, and the battalion immediately afterwards marched back to Bingley•hall, Adjutant M'lnnis, who was thrown from his horse just previously to the arri val of the inspecting officer, received severe in juries. Yesterday, though not absolutely in danger, he was in a precarious state. On Friday last the 3d Suffolk or Wilford Rifles were inspected by Lieutenant-Colonel Ibbetson. Although the day was very unfavourable, the corps in their regimental great-coats marched to the practice ground on Bromeswell-heath, nearly three miles from Woodbridge, and were put through a variety of evolutions by Capt. Brooke, the com manding officer. Col. Ibbetson expressed himself extremely pleased at the progress made by the corps, who have only been up since January last. Last evening a numerously attended public meet ing was held at St. Peter's school-room, Essex-street, Mile-end-road, for the purpose of furthering the ob - jects of the Tower Hamlets Rifles, No. 2 Company, and more especially to increase the effective strength of the 3d Company. The proceedings created great interest in the districtin which the meeting was held, a large body of the 2d Company having marched to the place of meeting, headed by the band of the Scots Fusiliers Guards. Captain Hammart was in the chair, and expressed his gratification at the effi ciency attained by the members of the corps. It was a capital opportunity for young men willing to undergo a course of military training. Lieutenant GoLE proposed the first resolution : " That this meeting is of opinion that the vast district comprising the Tower Hamlets is in point of numbers in adequately represented in the Volunteer movement, and is therefore extremely desirous of promoting all efforts to in crease the numerical strength of the 2d Tower Hamlets Volunteer Rifle Regiment." The Rev. Mr. IZARD seconded the motion, which was supported by the Rev. Mr. BARRY, and unani mously agreed to. Capt. TOWRY then moved the next resolution That, in order to further the objects of the foregoing resolution, this meeting earnestly invites the young men of Mile-end at once to enrol themselves as effective members the 3d Company of the 2d Tower Hamlets Volunteer Rifles." Mr. KING seconded the motion, which was car ried with cheering. Several young men having enrolled themselves, the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. On Tuesday evening the Ist Wolverhampton (sth Staffordshire) Company was inspected by Lieut. Col. Vernon, commandant of the 4th Battalion of Staffordshire Rifle Volunteers, with a view to the company being authorised to commence rifle prac tice. Mr. Bernard Walker, a member of the com pany, who has undergone a course of training at Hythe, and has superintended the musketry instruction, reported 22 members of the com pany as having passed through the necessary preliminary drills, and they were called out, and went through the loading and firing practice with a promptness and accuracy which drew from Colonel Vernon a warm encomium on the men and their instructors. Owing to some delay in the official inspection of the Staffordshire Volunteers, the War-office have authorised Colonel Vernon to pass any companies in his battalion for rifle prac tice, and this was the first, being No. 1 of the bat talion, so passed. In about a fortnight the number who passed will be increased by fully one-half. The practice-ground is at Wightwick, three miles from Wolverhampton, and the range is only 250 yards, great difficulty having been experienced in finding a ground for safe practice in the vicinity of the town. The Volunteers of Bath, comprising the Ist, 2d, 17th, and 18th companies of the Somerset Rifle Volunteer Corps, have been inspected by Colonel M'Murdo, C. 8., Her Majesty's Inspector-General of Volunteers. The corps was put through a series of movements, which were executed with a pre cision and steadiness which called forth the ap probation of several military officers on the ground, and elicited the warm commendation of the in specting officer. The Ist Suffolk Corps has just completed its annual course of musketry drill and target prac tice, under Captain Howard, with the following results : Average points obtained in the first period .. 15.61 Ditto ditto in file firing .. 9.43 Ditto ditto in volley firing .. 8.25 Ditto ditto in skirmishing.. .. 4'57 Total, or "Figure of Merit" .. .. 37 86 Meetings have been held to promote the forma tion of a company for the town and district of At tleborough, Norfolk. There is now scarcely a place of any importance in the county without its corps. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—WEDNZSDAY.

A clause proposed by Lord Monteagle for the protection of Savings-Banks' depositors, to the effect that it shall be a misdemeanour for any bank or company to adopt in any way the title of a Savin s-Bank, furnishes another illustration of the results of Government meddling with the functions of traders. There have been several recent instances of fraudulent associations, styling themselves Savings-Banks and therefore it is suggested that no one shall be allowed to under- take the business except under privilege from the Government. If a foreigner weie told that in free trade England it is desired to make it a criminal offence to offer to act as a banker for persons wishing to deposit small accumulations, he would find it diffi cult, whatever might be the paternal regulations of his own State, to cite a more absurd interference with the exercise of free will and personal sagacity. The fact is, that the entire Savings-Bank system is a dis credit to the country, and demoralising in its very principle. If the Government are to be bankers for the poor, why not also bakers and butchers ? The principles of trade are universal, and that which is sound for one branch is sound for all. The duty of the State is to see to the uniform enforcement of law in all cases, and if a fraud be proved, to punish the perpetrator—not to undertake business in order to insure that there shall be no frauds to punish. The result of their course in respect to Savings- Banks is demonstrated daily. They pretend to look to the security of depositors, and, instead of giving security they establish a snare by inducing the ignorant to think that the State is responsible, the mistake being discovered only when hundreds of claimants have suffered. They profess, also, to be anxious to " encourage" the habit of saving, and find themselves unable to allow any satisfactory rate of interest. Yet, at the same time, the nation loses mil lions because all the deposits come in and are invested in Consols when the funds are high,and are withdrawn when these Consols can be sold only at a heavy sacrifice. Thus for the " good of the poor," heavy amounts are disbursed by the country which must be regarded as donations, so that the classes whose self-respect it is intended to excite are actually to that extent pauperised by State relief. Again, it is pleaded that the system is a stimulant to prudence, although it actually operates as a direct discourage ment to that faculty. The Government, in short, say to the masses " never trouble yourselves with inquiries as to the most safe and profitable mode of laying out your acquisitions—abstain from cultiva ting any habits of thought or observation in that respect. We will make it penal even for any one to invite you to do so. You could never learn to dis tinguish between a rogue and an honest man, a ra tional investment or a bad one. It is said fools learn by experience, but there are a class of fools who do not possess even that capability, and you are of them. We leave all other parties to their free will. It is true that as a consequence they buy experience at a pretty heavy rate, and tlfat it is owing to the sense thus gained they become prosperous, but we cannot place you in the same category. We must ' protect' you and hold you in leading-strings and have offices and all sorts of machinery for the pur pose, and spend a considerable part of each Parlia mentary session in talking about it, and moving for returns and bringing in bills to keep the system all right." Besides, they might add, the theme ad mits of philanthropic flourishes of the finest descrip tion. There is also this encouraging peculiarity that, as it is of a practical character, and simply involves the vital principles of political economy, it is sure not to be thought worthy even of attention —much less of any troublesome remarks—by the p!ofessional " apostles " of commercial freedom.— Times' City Article. NUMEROUS FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE. Yesterday morning, shortly before 4 o'clock, the greatest alarm was caused in the immediate neigh bourhood of Tottenham-court-road, owing to a fire breaking out in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Daldo, oil and colourman, carrying on business at No. 28 in the before mentioned thoroughfares. The discovery was made by the police on duty, who at once aroused the inmates, and sent off for the Royal Society's escape and engines. Fortunately the re sidents all succeeded in reaching the streetin safety. The brigade engines from Crown-street, Wells street, and those from Claandos-street, Holborn, and Farringdon-street attended, as well as the escapes from Bloomsbury and other stations. Although only a few minutes had elapsed, the fire had made fearful progress; in fact, owing to the highly in flammable nature of the stock, the greater portion of the building presented one mass of flame. Plenty of water having been procured, the engines were set to work, but the fire could not be extinguished until the premises and all they contained were nearly destroyed, and the adjoining house of Mr. Robert Saith is injured by water and smoke, Mr. Daldo is supposed to be insured in the Westminster Fire Office. The same morning, about nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Longlev, situate in Bridge-court, near the Westminster Steamboat pier. The engines having been sent for, several quickly attended, when it was found that an aged lady, the owner of the house, had by some means set her clothes on fire, and was unfortunately burnt to death. Another fire happened in the premises of Mr. E. Mountford, Berlin wool and fancy goods' reposi tory keeper, 38, Southampton-street, Russell square. The firemen of the London Brigade were quickly on the spot with their engines, and by great exertions they were enabled to confine the flames to the back part of the warehouses; but the valuable stock in trade was severely damaged. The loss will fall upon the Imperial Fire Office. A fire likewise took place the previous night in the Hercules' Hall, situate in Hercules-buildings, Lambeth. The building in which the misfortune commenced belonged to Mr. F. Colwall, scale-board cutter and splint-maker, and was two floors high. The disaster arose from the overheating of one of the drying stoves, and in a very brief period the place became enveloped in flames, and from thence the conflagration extended to the premises of Mr. Potts, coachmaker. The powerful engines of Messrs. Hodges, the distillers, with those of the London Brigade from Waterloo-road, Southwark bridge-road, and Farringdon-street, attended, and the moment the mains of Lambeth Waterworks were drawn, and a good supply of the opposing element was procured, the firemen, under the direction of Mr. Henderson, went to work in an admirable manner, but they were unable to get the fire extinguished until the workshops and upper floors were burned out, and the workshops of Mr. Potts nearly destroyed. Mr. Colwall was insured in the State Fire. Office, but Mr. Potts was not insured. THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S PARK, EDINBURGH The judicial inquiry into the late murder in the Queen's Park is still proceeding, and on Tuesday we believe 27 corporals of the 13th Light Dragoons appeared at the office of the Procurator Fiscal, no doubt with the view of enabling the authorities to follow out the line of inquiry suggested in the in formation volunteered by the woman who came forward on Thursday last. That information, it will be recollected, was to the effect that, about three o'clock on the Sunday morning on which the murder was committed, the informant, in company with another woman, passed a corporal of the 13th Light Dragoons and a young girl standing close to the wall at the Clock Mill Bridge, and heard the soldier threatening the girl, and saying, "If you follow me I will do for you." The authorities are now evidently giving the woman who made these statements an opportunity of identifying if possible the " corporal" referred to by them. The investi gation, of course, continues to be conducted with the strictest secrecy ; but, so far as we can learn, no identification has been made. It is said, indeed, that the woman, on being shown the corporals on Tuesday, pointed out one of them as the man she had seen in the park, but on the corporals being placed before her in a group she pointed out another man as the one she had seen. The experiment was tried again, and the third time she pointed out the same man as on the first occasion. It is also stated that another woman has pointed out a second corporal as one whom she had seen in the park on the morning of the murder ; but on inquiry it appeared that she must have been mistaken as the man was on duty that night. On the whole, therefore, it may be said that up to the present t ime nothing has transpired tending to throw further light on this mysterious crime. The city police are endeavour ing to put a stop to the absurd and mischievous conduct of many parties who, in their morbid de sire to obtain some memorial of the murder, have stripped the tree near which the body was found of nearly all its bark and many of its branches. On Tuesday two boys were brought up at the police court, before Bailie George Russell, and found guilty of having been concerned in breaking off some branches of the tree in the park on Sunday evening, and were fined ss. each. It would be of advantage if an example could be made of some older people who have been even more foolish than any boys could be in carrying away por tions of the tree and even of the turf near the spot where the body of the girl was found.—Scots man. EXTRAORDINARY Low TlDE.—Yesterday morn ing the steamboats met with considerable obstruction be tween 'Westminster and Waterloo-bridges, in consequence of an extraordinary low tide. Persons were seen walking on the Surrey side of Waterloo• bridge to nearly the fifth arch. It is seldom such a occurrence takes place, particu larly after heavy rains. BOAT ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF SIX LIVES. A correspondent of the North British, Daily Mail communicates the following :—On Sunday, the 19th inst., 12 individuals—six males and as many females —left Achnagart and Relong, in the parish of Kin cardine, Ross-shire, with the intention of going to the Free Church, in the parish of Criech, Suther landshire, where the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was to be dispensed. These two parishes are sepa rated by the Doraoch Frith, and the river Oikill The party, instead of taking the ferry, took a sal-, mon fishing-boat or coble, which might comfortably carry seven or eight persons only ; and though the wind was high, the frith rather stormy, the boat overloaded, and the sail too large, everything went on well till they were about one mile and a quarter from Bonar-bridge. Theie it was considered expe dient to take down the sail, and while so doing the boat took in some water, which so alarmed some of the females as to cause them to spring to the oppo site side'of the boat. She immediately filled, cap sized, and appears to have more than once turned upside down in a part of the frith, which at the time was from 12 to 14 feet deep, and is considered 300 or 400 yards from the shore. All were thrown into the water. Only two could swim. These were Donald Urquhart, a sailor, and Alexander Ross. The former had his father and sister with him; the latter had his wife, a son and a daughter. On look ing about him, Alex. Ross's attention was attracted to his daughter struggling in the waves. He seized hold and attempted to save her, but after an earnest effort he felt that he was in the utmost peril of los ing his own life, without any hope of saving that of his daughter, a girl of 16 years of age. He was most reluctantly forced to let her go, ma which he succeeded in swimming about 20 yards, when he found he could stand, though the water reached to his neck. Donald Urquhart, observing Ross's daughter sinking head foremost, swam directly to the spot, got hold of her, and twain with her to her father, who could keep the girl's head above water. Without a moment's delay, Urquhart swam back, in the face of a strong wind and rapid current, to the others who were helplessly struggling for life. Observing a female in the act of being sub merged, he made for the spot where she disappeared, dived after her to the bottom (12 feet), succeeded. in bringing her to the surface and swimming with her to her husband, for she happened to be Ross's wife. Up to the neck himself, Ross managed to keep the heads of his wife and daughter above water. Urquhart with all possible expedition, for the third time swam bravely to the scene of the disastrous calamity, dived, as on the previous occa sion, and now brought two females from the bot tom. With these he emerged quite close to the boat, which was rolling in the waves, and to which he found another female clinging, but in imminent danger of sinking into the surging water. She managed to get hold of his clothes, as did her sister—one of the two rescued and brought from the bottom—the other was his own sister who was in a state of utter unconsciousness. The noble fellow has no distinct recollection of the manner in which he now conducted himself, but he struggled despe rately to bring the three with him to Alexander Ross. With his unconscious sister in one hand, and the two sisters (Ann and Bella Ross) clinging to his clothes, Urquhart made the most determined and energetic struggles with the one free hand to carry these to where the other rescued ones were in the water. Without any human aid he succeeded, although he was much exhausted and quite be wildered. Five were still in the bottom of the frith—amongst them his own father—but the brave fellow could do no more, and his helpless sister demanded all his attention. Besides, there was great necessity for making for dry land, as the survivors were getting very feeble. Hitherto none of the multitude of spectators who had wit nessed the catastrophe at various distances were able to reeder any assistance, but when they were able their services were of little avail. None of the five who sank to the bottom were rescued alive. Dr. Gordon was soon on the ground, and rendered much aid to those who bad been rescued, but all his efforts to resuscitate Janet Urquhart proved unavailing. From the above it will be observed that of the twelve who were in the boat, six were drowned—four males and two females—and among these the father and sister of Urquhart. Of the surviving six four were rescued from certain death by the noble andintre pid sailor. The coolness, promptitude, energy, and daring that characterised his conduct cannot be too highly appreciated, when the rapidity of the current, the strength of the wind, the roughness of the frith, the depth of the channel at the time and place when and where the casualty occurred, and the distance he had to swim, so heavily encumbered, are duly weighed. ISLE OF WIGHT LIFE-BOATS. Ever since the fearful shipwrecks, attended with much loss of life, which sad events took place last year, the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight have, in conjunction with the Royal National Life-boat In stitution and the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, been most sedulously striving, by voluntary contributions, to establish lifeboat stations along the more dan: gerous parts of the coast of the island, the scene of so many melancholy disasters, and it is this week our pleasing duty to record the accomplishment of this most desirable and truly philanthropic under taking. Two substantially-built houses for the lifeboats, with resuscitating rooms adjoining, have been jrovided, the one at Brook and the other at Grange. After the arrival of the boats at their respective stations overland, the local committee assembled in the resuscitating room, at the Brook Lifeboat Station-house, for the purpose of choosing a crew and launching the boats. The chairman, Mr. Seeley, having requested the hon. secretary, Rev. J. Pellew Gaze, rector of Brooke, to read the list of names of fishermen and others volunteering to form the crew for service in the lifeboats, eleven volunteers answered on their names being called over, the whole of whom were introduced ; and, being welcomed by the committee, the men ranged themselves on one bile of the room, when the chairman kindly addressed them, request ing that they would select from among themselves one in whom they could place the utmost confi dence for their coxswain. They unanimously elected John Halter, and for the second or assist. ant coxwain, William Cooper. The Lifeboat Inspector to the Royal National Lifeboat Institu tion then explained to the crew their relative duties and po.ition, urging the necessity of obe dience to the command of their coxswain when on duty, for by discipline, good order, and sobriety, their exertions in the time of need would be doubly effective. The committee adjourned to the shore, accompanying the boat on its carriage drawn by horses, and when at the water's edge, ready for launching, the crew having equipped themselves in the lifebelts, and a large number of spectators standing around, Mrs. Seeley took the bottle of wine, slung for the occasion, and dashing it against the boat, said, " Success to the Dauntless." Mr. Seeley and the honorary secretaries, the Rev. Edward M'All and the Rev. J. Pellew Gaze, with the crew, amidst much cheering, en tered the boat, which readily glided from her carriage into the element on which it is hoped she may be the means, under Providence, of saving the lives of those who may unfortu nately be wrecked on this coast. The committee and visitors afterwards adjourned to Grange, where, at half-past two o'clock, a similar ceremony took place, but on this occasion Lord Heytesbury was in the chair. After the appointment of the crew, their coxwains, James Buckett, and William Mer weed, being unanimously elected, the Rev. Edwd. WAR remarked that it was a great pleasure to him self to bear testimony to the orderly honest charac ter of the man the crew had elected for their cox wain. The rev. gentleman had known Buckett for a period of upwards of 20 years, and he could also bear testimony, though gained by sad experi ence as an eye-witness, that nearly the whole of the eleven men he saw before him had distinguished themselves in the cause of humanity by hazarding their own lives when endeavouring to save the lives of their fellow-men. Such men, he felt sure, with the means now provided by the National Lifeboat Institution, in conjunction with their own exertions, would be, by God's help, of the utmost service in the hour of need. The boat was then conveyed on her carriage to the sands, and after a short pause, the silence was broken by the dash of Heytesbury,a bott l e againws wishing g b oswucoc success s the s to l t i h fe e b ß o a o t y , Yacht Club Lifeboat Rescue, seemed as it were Victoria ie signal for spontaneous heartfelt cheering, whilst hundreds of handkerchiefs betokoned the crew, were seated in the b the response, both from far and near. Eighteen persons, in cludinger carriage at the time of her launch, when she readily bounded into the water and b the day felt satisfied that became as lively as a galley. Every one oa :V t dci o i re n Let a h ta . who witnessed the doings of establishment on the coastof of the Isle Wight is now a reality, and it •is most sincerely hoped that a most effective lifeboat the usefulness of these all-important undertakings will not be retarded for the want of funds to defray the necessary incidental expenses, as a small yearly contribution from the many will enable the com mitteefrom time t o ti me may be considered to be most of mana gemen t to carry out matters which desirable for their efficiency. Who can tell that he or she may not s hortly be truly thankful for the assistance rendered by a lifeboa t a nd her gallant so crew ,e dear either relative herfor or ving their own life or that o f mfriend. --~ Paid. 100 li all all all 100 I 100 100 11. 3 0. 7i all 7i 100 all 100 1 all 100 7 all 1100 18 ,ATL . 6' 9 9 / I 1011 50 961 I 61 7 5 1 i
