The annual general. meeting of the friends and supporters of the Royal National Lifeboat Institu tion was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bi,hopsgate-street ; his Grace the Duke of North umberland, P.C., President of the Institution, occupied the chair. The meeting was influentially and numerously attended. Amongst' those present were Thomas Baring, Esq. ' M. P. ; Thos. Chapman, Esq., F.R.S. ; Sir Edward Perrott, Bart. ; W. H. Marton, Esq. ; Admiral Sir W. H. Hall, K.C. B. ; Colonel Fitzroy Clayton, Dr. Nolloth, R.N. ; Chas. Lemon, Esq., Admiral Tarleton, C.B. ; P. Maaghan, Esq. ; _ Suttoa Sharpe, Esq. ; Samuel Lovelock, Esq. ; Captain De St Croix, Captain Toynbee, R.N. ; C Twin De Carrso ; Dr. M. Hamilton, R:N. ; captain the Hon. F. Maude ; J. A. Dow, Es 1.; Admiral Goldsmith, C. 8.; Captain ; C. N. Ne!son, Esq. : ; Admiral API - lardy, Captain Symons, R.N. ; Captain Ja-man, R.N.R. ; Harrison, Esq. ; C. H. Maltby, Esq., and several other gentlemen. After some few introductory re marks, the noble chairman observed that it was to him a source of peculiar satisfaction to preside ovtr so large and important a tneetfngt ; and, after allu - Hug to some of the salient points in the report, which elicited much applause at the meeting, he called on Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary to the in stitution, who then read the - annual report. It stated - that' since the 1 st report twenty-one new lifeboats had been, or were about to be, placed on the coasts of the United Kingdom and the Channel Islan.ts. Carriages and boathouses had been like wise provided for nearly all the boats. The institu tion had now two hundred and twenty lifeboats on the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Chan nel Islands. During the past year those boats had rescued no less thanB7l persons from various wrecks,., nearly the whole of whom were saved under circum stances which would have precluded their being saved by any ordinary boat. Happily the craws of the lifeboats continued to feel such great confidence in them that it was occasionally difficult to repress the eagerness with which men rushed forward to man the boats. The storms of last year were unusually violent, and the shipwrecks, as an inevitable result, very numerous ; yet the noble and successful efforts to save life on these occ 'dons were very noteworthy and encouraging. All the great lifeboat ser vices last year were accomplished without the sacrifice of a single life amongst the brave and deter mine .1 men who worked our Lifeboat Fleet. Attention was directed to the continued efforts of the Board of Trade in maintaining and extending the Rocket apparatus on the coasts of the United Kingdom. The cordial co-operation of the Admiralty, of the officers and men of the Coast Guard service, of the local branch committees and honorary secretaries, and of our. coast boatmen and fishermen, was also acknow ledged. In addition to the 871 lives and 33 vessels saved exclusively by the lifeboats of the institution, 360 lives were,rescued last year by fishing boats ant other means on the coasts aunt outlying banks of the United Kingdom. For these joins services 38 slyer medals, and votes of thanks on vellum, and £2,705 in cash were granted. The number of lives saved during the forty-six years from the establishment of the Institution in 1824, to the end of the year 1869, tither by its lifeboats, or by special exertions for which it had granted rewards, was 19,080. Since the formation of the society it had expended on lifeboat establishments and other means for saving life from shipwreck £240,000, and voted 90 gold and 811 silver medals for saving life, and pecuniary re wards to the amount of £32,300. The total amount of receipts during the year 1869 had been £40,409 15s. 3d., and of that sum no less than £12,117 Os. 4d. were special gifts to defray the cost of 19 lifeboats. The total expenditure of the soci ty in the same period, including liabilities, had been £34,303 Os. 9d., leaving a balance of upwards of £G,OOO to be added to the funded capital of the institution. It is mani fest that a society like this, which needs a permanent income of at least £20,000 a year to keep up its great fleet, must have a large reserve fund to meet even tualities, and to secure in perpetuity a continuance of its great andnationalwork. Upwards of 20 legacies of various amo un t s h a d b een b equea th e d t o the saciety during the past twelve months. The items of receipt and expenditure were detailed in the financial state ment annexed to the report, audited annually by a public accountant. Again, the committee reminded the friends of the institution of the noble life-saving fleet of 220 lifeboats which it had now un ier its charge, requiring, as it did, constant supervision to t a l c i: c cc t dully its great mission, and needing the continued s atli and support of this support The committee confidently believed that trey woerrte furth a .

It was the cause of quite a scene in the Divorce Court this afternoon. Mr Bayford, for Mrs. Godrich, applied for the enforcement of an order to enable his client to see the children. An affidavit was produced stating that the lady saw them on a certain day in the company of Mr. G-odrich, sen., and counter affidavits were filed, alleging that such was not the case.—Mrs. Godrich is to be prose. cuted far perjury at the Guildhall to-morrow for this affidavit.—Mr. Bayford stated that the children had been taken from the school where they were placed •at Havre, so that Mrs. Godrich should not see them.— On hearin,- , this, Lord Penzance had Miss Hall who was alleged to have taken them away, brought before him, and questioned her as to where the children were. Miss Hall - refused to tell, and said she would sooner to committed for contempt of court, and Lord Pen zance ordered a warrant to be made out for her commitment, and also granted a rule calling on Mr. Godrich sen., who was stated by Mrs. Godrich to have been seen in the company of the children, to shew cause why he should dot be committed for contempt. Mr. Godrich was soon after in court, and was brought forward, and said that Miss Hall knew where the children Where. Miss Hall wrote down the name of the place on a piece of paper ; but his lordship refused to keep the name secret. Miss Hall was then removed from custody, and the rule against Mr. Godric4 was discharged. His lordship made an order that the children should not be removed from the place they were now, and granted an order of the court that ldrs. Godrich should see them. The Liberte says that the rumours respecting a division in the French Cabinet on the subject of the ap pointment of a Plenipotentiary to the Council are entirely without foundation. TEiIIiZIANTHIS LAND BILL IN IRELAND:— The Dublin correspondent of the Globe writes thus of the reception of the Land Bill in Ireland :—" During the last few days I have passed through several of the southern counties, and have made it a special object to sound the different classes I met with as to their opinions of the Government Land Bill. Two classes I found invariably , in favour of the theasure—lavgers and attorneys. They both assert everywhere that it is a perfect measure—as it is, from their point of view. Landlords I find generally opposed to the way in which the subject has been dealt with, though admitting that some change was neces sary. 'Tenants and peasants, on the other hand, are very cautious in expressing any judgment. They are not able to comprehend its probable working, but yet hear enough from tenant-leaguers and farmers' clubs to cause them to suspect something. The exkressions of opinion which have emanated from the various associ ations through the country differ, perhaps, in the exact form of their complaints, and in the grounds on which they base their opposition, but are unanimous in condemning a measure which, while introducing new provocatives to disorder, does not remove the old grieT• fsces." A Alumni:it ON UNCLEAN FACES.--Henry Ward Beecher is again writing for the New York Independent., In his last article he discourses characteristically as follows :—I wish the poor would speak to me. I cannot remember all my church, certainly not all my Sunday schooL But they never try without finding lam glad for one. I have the same form of trouble that you have, Brother H.—pride. I know all th e i nns and out of that. But I can truly say there is no person so poor nor so lowly that it does not give me more pleasure to have them speak to me than it does them. I never have children speak to me on the street that it dos not make me feel good all the day long. It is not trouble some to me to be interested in a clean face. I like the self-respectful, decorous poor, who aro my equals, and often my superiors. That is no trouble. It is these dirty and often lousy things that I find it difficult to see the faster in—this dirty boy who halloos after me • " Henry Ward Beecher, He's the screecher," . , and sometimes puts in a stone by way of punctuation. SUNDAY TOYS FOR CHILDREN.—The Pall Mall Gazette called attention a few days ago to an inquiry made in the columns of the Queen as to "unobjectionable Sun day toys for a child aged fourteen months." It now com ments on a letter in which the writer actually takes up the subject seriously, and describes an admirable state of affairs in his own nursery. No Sabbath breaking there. Ho has a number of wooden bricks and a Noah's Ark. To use his own words, " With these bricks and animals we illustrate Scripture narratives. Last Sunday even ing we had Rahab letting the spies down from the wall. On a former occasion we had the con version of St. Paul. In one corner of the table was Jer isalers ; in the opposite corner D,anauscus, with `the strict called Straight,' and Ananias just going into his house. Next Sunday 'we shall have the disciples in the Lake of Galilee. The tablecloth will form the water, and will be arranged for the occasion in waves." The Pall Mall Gazette suggests that the writer might carry out the idea still further by illustrating Scripture texts in his own stating et ;c ar it e n m A e person. For instance, he might improvise a pit, get into S. it himself witli a chair to represent an ox, and lot his ahilaren mill them both out on a Sunday evening. SWIMMING EXTRAORDINARY.—Tho -Worth British Daily Mail gives an account 'of a great swimming gala which has taken place in Glasgow. " The great feature of the evening," it says, was the wonderful performance of Professor Jefferson, champion 300 yards swimmer of England, who is styled the " Man Fish" on account of his extraordinary feats of natation under water. The Professor took the water with hie clothes on, and., after swimming about for a short time dived reappearing in 26} seconds fully undressed, lie s E w e all t o h w e e n d under water, ate a sponge cake in 10i a gill of milk in 15f seconds, and smoked . for 7 seconds.. His other performances—somersault throwing, swimming with legs elevated above water, diving a length of the bath with hands and feet tied, &c.—were all cleverly done, the audience testifying their appreciation of his abilities by bud applause. °r : F f a o asl tt ljh erai allh c as°- h receivedte. rn ue E U p a u n rr b as liF ur e A s a ll n a e l e t t feArlieoLgnira;ml Vienne, had been instructed to support Djemil Pasha in his efforts to realise in Paris the loan for the construction of Ottoman railways. The Memorial Diplomati que b e li eves th e report, as it is natural that Austria should take an interest in Turkish railways • since as soon as the Ottoman Empire is connected with Europe by rail, the Eastern question is likely to ent er a new and probably pacific phase. The French Government is said to favour the loan, the only reason for forbidding the official quota tion on the Bourse being the provision of the law of lotteries, respecting loans with premiums. The propriety of bri ng i ng th e new o bli g ation under this law is being discussed, and meantime the stockbrokers have been informdd that their operations will not be interfered with. THE MANCYNESTIII AND LONDON LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY,—Vice-Chancellor James has had before him two petitions for the winding-up of the Manchester and. London Life Assurance and Loan Association. The society was formed in 1852, and transferred its business in 1861 to the Western Assurance. The Western in 1865 was amalgamated with the Albert. One of the pe titioner s w as a policyholder named Thompson, who had no notice of the transfer to the Western_,beyond what was afforded by the pric e o f rece ipt. The Vice-Chancellor held that the want of notice precluded the policyholder from abandoning his contract, with the London and Manchester, and adopting a new contract with the Western. The case fell within that of the Family Endowment Society, and must be an order for winding up the company on Mr. Thompson's petition, the Albert liquidators to take their costs out of their own fund. .

The order that this bill be referred to the Examiners o] Petitions for Private BilLs was, on the motion of Sir 0, FORSTER, read and discharged, the bill having been with. drawn, EDUCATION. Mr. HIBBERT gave notice that in the event of the amendment of the hon. member for Birmingham not being carried, he should, in committee, move the insertion of a clause providing that any schools established by local boards and supported by local rates should be conducted on the same system as that adopted by the Irish National Education Board. GAME LAWS AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. W. MARTIN, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he had been informed by the right hon. gentle man, the Secretary for the Home Department, that the second clause in that bill was an interference with the rights of property, and that it went further than many hon. members considered necessary. He there :ore proposed that the House should read the a second time on the clear understanding hat the Government would prepare a clause instead of the one which now stood second in the bill, which would put the tenant in a more satisfactory position than he occupied at present. He wished it to be clearly under stood that in voting for the second reading no member would be pledged to anything but the admission that the evils at present existing required a remedy. He was quite sure his remedy was not the best, but he hoped with the assistance of his right hon. friend the Secretary for the Home Department to produce a provision that would be satisfactory to most persons. If his suggestion was adopted, he should fix the committee for a distant period, namely, the 29th of June. He then endeavoured to solve the rabbit ,• question; but he confessed he had found it to be a matter of the utmost difficulty, and those who fait disposed to think on the matter would find it so, if they endeavoured to discover a remedy for the damage done to the crops by them. With respect to the bill for the total abolition of the• Game Laws, he thought that would be a positive injury to the farmer. It had been suggested that rabbits should be treated as vermin, but that was a proposition le thought objectionable, because rabbits formed an important article of food to thela,bouring class, and the consumption of them amounted to no less than one million and a half a year, and he had it from a good source that a rabbit costing is 2d. gave more nourishment than the 'quantity of beef and mutton he could get for the same amount of money, and therefore it was a question which required a great amount of consideration before any thing was ultimately fixed upon. He believed the danger done by hares and rabbits to cultivated land could scarcely be estimated, as they nibbled off the tops of the young corn, and that spoiled the whole sample. The question had been dealt with by Lord Leigh, who had given up the rabbits and hares to the tenants, and the result had been • most favourable, as a better day's sport was to be had nowhere than on the estates of his lordship: He thought after all it would Ye found that the remedy proposed in this bill was the best under the circumstances, and, therefore, hehoped the House would adopt the course he had suggested. Alderman SALOMONS seconded the second reading. He was, as was well known, no sportsman, but he was induced to support the present bill, with a view of putting an end to the fearful scenes that now took place on the occasion of prosecutions under the Game Laws, more particularly for stealing rabbits, which many thought were not game, and the property of any person. Mr. KNIGHT thought the tenants always got a quid pro quo for da - mage done by rabbits. He thought the bill objectionable, and in committee he should move an amend- ment to the effect that the game should belong either to the landlord or the tenant, or in other words to abolish double tenantcies. Mr. PEASE was opinion of that the present, although but a little bill, did not go far enough, and that which it proposed to do it did badly. It did not seem to touch the hares, which in his opinion did quite as much damage to the growing crops as rabbits, and the course he should fell most inclined to adopt was to legislate strongly in favour of the tenant farmers with respect to hares. He should not oppose the second reading of the bill, but he should move certain amendments in committee if he thought it necessary to do so. Colonel PRICE strongly objected to the further progress of the bill, which he thought entirely useless in itself, and insufficient for the puipoEes intended. Sir GEORGE GREY wanted to know, before he could con cur in the second reading of the bill, what the House was asked to agree to, and what was the real remedy proposed. He asked whether 'the bill would make any difference at all in the existing laws. Any tenant farmer might now, on land in his own occupation, kill rabbits, provided there was no agreement which deprived him of the right of doing so, and not only that,buthemight do the same with regard to hares. Mr. BRUCE could not see why the principles .which Government had adopted with regard to Scotland could not be adopted in dealing with England. He believed there was a strong desire that the tenant farmer should be placed in a better position. Mr. Locx and Mr. HENLEY having made a few obser- vations, Mr. TAYLOR expressed a hope that if the Government were disposed to deal with the Game Laws, they would deal with them in a manner which should besatisfactory to the country. He reminded the House that there were in the Cabinet men who were as strongly pledged against the Game Laws as it was possible-for men to be. Mr. MARTIN withdrew his motion. THE BALLOT BILL. Mr. LEATHAM moved the second reading of the Ballot Bill, and referred to the investigation of a committee ap pointed for the [purpose of ascertaining the existence of electoral corruption, and 'stated that although the inquiry extended over a very wide area, the existence of corruption was found to be one prevalent form of undue influence, which could not, by the very nature of things, be brought within the cognisance of judges, or .within the grasp of the law. He alluded to the kind of influence which, through habit; experience, and tradition sprung from the mutual relations of landlord and tenant. And that kind of influence, without the least intention on the part of the landlord operated as strongly as though it were backed by instances of daily oppression. He cited an illustration of what took place at the last election for mid-Cheshire, A great Dissenters' question was then uppermost, and when the day of the poll arrived no less than 200 persons pledged to support a particular candidate voted against him. That was an ex traordinary fact, and.on enquiry - it was found that there was a sort of fear that unless they did as their landlords pleased the landlords would not pleasethemin return. The hon. gentleman alluded to the so-called grand moral lesson, taught by open voting, and he rediculed the idea of any moral grandeur arrising from elections, as conducted in a multitude of instances ; wherever, he-con tended, any one had power over another in time of public excitement it was exerted. He next called attention to the mob violence at various elections in England and Ireland. Referring to the protection of voters by the military, he said the belief created was that Govern ment intimidation was combined with landlord intimida tion, for the purpose of coercing the election. He argued that the law, in point of fact, was helpless in the presence of intimidation, bribery, and treating. He believed that the Government never struggled more to do away with this state of things than when it passed the last great measure against corrupt practices. The moment the last election was over petitions cropped up from every part of the country, but the result was that only one-sixth of the petitions were successful. He asked if any one would say that the result represented the electoral crime of the last election. The hon. member pointed out the difficulty of proving treating within the 'neaning of the statute, and referred to the practice of " feasting " both before and after the election, and cited the opinion of several of the election judges that Q. 1 41 F . as I? 0 .t.t 1 7.P. 4i4g. Theiv vr_tg a,.l9,rge tiPatiwr.Domlar Lion which did not join the Radical or the Conservative party, but the noble "feasting " party, and it was the feasting party who had good reason to want the judges at their convivial occasions. Baron Martin refused to hold that a man bringing up a voter and stopping for drink was corrupt treating. ' After this, remarked the hon. member, the house would he prepared for what fell from Mr. Justice Wiles before a committee. He said that it was better When the election was over to invite up the liquor and say no more about it. Mr. Leath, m proceeded to observe that 200 years' struggle with the briber-bad made their antagonist almost a master of fence. It was only when the briber was clumsy and reckless that the law could reach him, but the law had been nu , de so strong that it could get at the innocent any day. The advocates of the Ballot, he said, had something more than theory to appeal to. A vast number of Australian witnesses were examined, and they were, in all that was really important, unanimous in their evidence. ThF" introduction of the Ballot into Australia had been thoroughly efficacious, and the benefits derived from its operation so great and so incontrovertible, that the proposition to return to open voting would be scouted on all sides. He pointed out that there were politiCal parties, and political organisations, aad political ques tions the same as in England, and he centssideetitiant all essentials the two populations corresponded. - that the Ballot was not a Continental institution; in fadt, it was an old institution, an institution which was in operation in England three centuries ago, and the Ballot was the defence of the great trad ing companies, and it was by a despotic Stewart that the institution of the Ballot was sup pressed. Referring to America the hon. gentleman said the ballot there was sufficiently complete for ordinary purposes, but was not sufficiently efficacious when dealing with a population of a mixed character, a portion of which had brought from Europe its corrupt habits and ideas. The Marquis of HARTINOTON having alluded to the report of the committee appointed to investigate, which was only concluded on the previous day, said that the House had been placed in a condition of some difficulty by the motion for the second reading of the bill, and it had become necessary for Government to consider the course it would adopt on the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) The Government certainly did not feel that the introduction of the bill had released them from the responsibility they undertook when they recommended last session and this session that the House should appoint a com mittee, and the Government would certainly take the very earliest opportunity of considering the recommendations of the committee, not only those referring to the question of; the Ballot, but those referring to all other subjects that were alluded to in the report. The Government would place itself in a false position if they were to meet the motion with a negative—(hear, hear)--and they were not prepared to negative the principle of the bill. On the contrary, he had no hesitation in saying that personally he entirely concurred with that paragraph in the report, which recommended the adoption of the Ballot. It would consequently be contrary to the opinion of Government if they were to refuse to support the motion, but they could only consent to give the hon. member support on condition that he would consent to the postponement of further progress of the measure until such time as would enable the Government to consider the recommendations in the report of the committee, and if necessary, to prepare and introduce a measure upon the subject. (Hear, hear.) It would of course be impossible for Government to prepare a mea sure until the committee had concluded its report. He thought he might say that some of the subjects which were referred to in the report, and upon which there did not seem to be any difference of opinion in the committee, had already been under the, consideration of the Government. Mr. HARDY said that in consenting to the course the Government had taken, it must not be supposed that any member on that side of the House gave in his adhesion to the course of the hon. member opposite. The Govern ment wished for time for consideration, and as the Ballot was a question which must be discussed fully, it should be adjoUrned, either until the time they brought in the bill ou the whole question of the conduct of elections, or until they set free the hon. member from the condition imposed upon him, and then take his motion upon going into com mittee on the bill. A brief but animated debate ensued, in which most of the members taking part expressed it as their opinion that the time had come for taking a diviiion on the ques tion, eye or no. Would the House give its assent to the bill for establishing the ballot? Sir G. GREY and Mr. HERBERT both thought it would be but right to give the Government an opportunity of consi dering the report of the committee on Parliamentary and Municipal Elections before they were called upon to give a promise to bring in a bill similar to that now submitted to the House by the hon. member for Huddersfield. The House divided on the question of the adjournment of the debate, which was moved by Mr. NEW DEGATE, when there appeared— Pot the adjournment of the debate ll6 Against it Majority against.. —llo The .debate was about to be resumed, when Colonel BARTTELOT expressed his strong objection to the shifty way in which the division had been arranged. 1 was generally believed on his side of the House that no division would be taken, and then the very opposite course was adopted. lie concluded by moving the adjournment of he House. The House again divided, when there appeared— For the adjournment of the House llO Against 220 —llO The adjournment of the debate was then moved by Lord C. Hamrizow, and the motion being seconded by Mr. LEATHANI, it was agreed to. Tuesday, the 3d of May, Was fixed for its resumption. The Annuity Tax Bill was withdrawn, and The House than adjourned.
