The Committee of Management have to state that, since the beginning of the year 1860, the Royai National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on va r i ous Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of Eng'and, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society and other means, si nce it s f ormation, is 12,800 ; for" which services 82 Gold M e d a l s, 718 Silver Medals, and X 16,480 in ah have ben paid n ewards. T Institu- tin has also expended e .£67,' 00 i on r Life-boats he , Life boat Transporting-carriages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet at 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensib'e, however, of the great responsibility that reefs on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and pe'manent annual income, they earnestly anpeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

It is supposed that she will shortly hoist a commodore's broad pernant, and proceen to the Pa cific to relieve the Topaze, 39, Commodore the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer. The Leander was taken out of dock on Tuesday, and to-day will be removed from the basin in Sheerness dockyard to her moorings in the harbour, to prepare for immediate commission. In order to hasten the completion of the iron fri gate Achilles, 50, 6,080 tons, building at Chatham, in readiness for her being fl )ated out of the dock in which she is under construction by the close of the present year, all the available strength of the dock yard is now engaged upon her, Chatham yard just now presents the unusual spectacle of every hand belonging to the establishment being employed on iron ships, with the exception of a few men engaged in completing the mahogany-built paddlewheel Ad miralty despatch steamer, which will be launched during the approaching summer. At present there are between 1,200 and 1,300 mechanics, shipwrights, engineers, and other workmen engaged on the Achilles, the wholeof whom have commenced work ing extra hours. This practice will be continued during the spring and summer, in order that no un necessary delay may occur in having the first iron vessel built at either of the Government yards com pleted and launched. This body of workmen is the largest ever employed at one time on any single vessel at either of the royal yards, and under their exertions the progress made is very great. A considerable por tion of the broadsides, on both the port and star board sides, for a length of some 200 feet, is covered with the 20-inch teak planking, on which the slabs of iron are bolted as fast as they are prepared in the adjoining factory. Already four rows of the ar mour-plates are bolted to the ship's sides for some considerable distance, but this portion of the work is of necessity:subject to delay from the time em ployed in slotting, planing, and otherwise prepar ing the massive slabs of iron. Some considerable delay is also occasioned from the circumstance of there being no machinery and appliances at Chatham dockyard for galvanising the iron bolts used in securing the plates to the exterior of the ship, each bolt after being manufactured having to be sent to a private factory to undergo the process of galvanising by Tupper's plan. The armour plates now being used in plating the Achilles are the ordinary 4,1-inch 80-cwt. slabs, most of those already fixed being of rolled iron from the Park gate Works, Yorkshire, which have supplied the greater portion of the iron plates now in store at Chatham dockyard. Unlike the Warrior and the Black Prince, the Achilles will be furnished with four masts, each of which will be of iron. The screw corvette Orpheus, 21, 400-horse power, the news of the total wreck of which has been re ceived, was one of the most recent of the corvette class of vessels built at Chatham dockyard, and was launched from the establishment on the 24th of June, 1860. She was considered the finest of that description of vessel ever constructed, and was built under the personal superintendence of Mr. 0. W. Lang, the present master-shipbuilder at Chatham, from the designs of Sir Baldwin Walker, the then Controller of the Navy. Her dimensions were : Extreme length, 226 ft. Gin; the extreme breadth, 40ft. Bin.; depth in hold, 24ft. 2in. ; burden, 1,705 tons. She was fitted with a pair of 400. horse power engines by Messrs. Humphreys, Tennant,'and Co. As this was the first voyage, the greatest interest was experienced for her success, and the news of her wreck was received with the deepest regret. Rear-Admiral Horatio T. Austin, C. 8., yesterday hoisted his flag (white at the mizen) on board the Fisgard at Woolwich, on taking up his appoint ment as Admiral Superintendent of Malta dockyard. Her Majesty's screw corvette Archer, 13 guns, commissioned at Woolwich, yesterday steamed out of the fitting basin at Woolwich in readiness for sea, with her full complement of officers and crew, except the captain, who has not been gazetted. The appointment, it is stated, will be given to Captain Norman B. Bedingfeld, promoted on paying off the Prometheus. _ _ The steam storeship Rhadamanthus, laden with boilers and machinery for the Ocean, and other stores, sailed yesterday from Woolwich for Devon port. 50 second-class lads also took passengers to join the receiving-ship Impregnable. In conse quence of a rumour which has been afloat for some time past, to the effect that scarlet fever is raging state. on board the Impregnable, a large number of letters have been received on board the Fisgard from the parents of lads now serving in the Impregnabe, Hewlett, master, stating their anxiety as regards the fate of their edingly healthy sons.

VIM SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING.. APRIL 8, 1863 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - --•- - NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING-TUESDAY. Although the card embraced two of the principal features of the week, and each of them was expected to bring a good field to the post, yet the attendance on the Heath fell short of the average. The weather has continued fine, greatly to the disappointment of the owntrs of valuable horses en gaged, for, the running .ground being as hard as a turnpike road, they either kept many of them in their stables or else ran them in fear of injury to legs or feet. The representative of the French stable in the Biennial was on this account not brought out, and the public were therefore not allowed to guess at the name of their Derby horse. This cause did not, however, reduce the numbers running in the Newmarket Handicap, in which the winner was backed for a consider able amount during the morning, and both looked and went extremely well. Our remarks made yesterday in re ference to the starting question were still further confirmed to .day in the instance of the Free Handicap, for which, with only four horses, at least a quarter of an hour was wasted in attempting to effect a start from the walk. Half of this time was occupied by Mr. Thos. M‘George in trying to effect his object unassisted by any member of the Jockey Club. Titmouse having run home several times during that time, and Good •for-Nothing galloping nearly to the top of the town before she could be stopped, Admiral Rous came to his aid, but with no better result. James Grimshaw was to some extent at fault for not keeping his spurs quiet before the flag fell, but after she had broken away two or three times ha appeared to do his best to bring Titmouse to face the post quietly, being foiled by the animal breaking away the moment he turned round. No doubt, the rider of Vigil, obeying his orders to get oil well, did not aid in effecting a fair start; but, on the whole, it was rendered clear to all the bystanders that the orders of Admiral Rous could not be carried out, and at last he gave way, and allowed the official to drop his flag to a start which though pretty good, was not equal to what might have been effected previously, On the other hand, with the subse quent ►arge fields for the Biennial Stake- and Newmarket Handicap, the distance in each case being greater, and the horses walking quietly till the flag dropped, no difficulty was experienced, and two as good starts were accomplished as ever were seen. Clearly the fault lies between the trainer and his jockey, and the Jockey Club have only to be firm, and a change for the better must be produced. The Seventh Sale Stakes of 50 soya each, h ft, for 3-yr olds ; colts to carry Bst 101 b fillies Bst 61b, those by stal lions or out of mares that never bred a winner all .wed 31b, and those bcught for less than 300 guineas allowed 31b, for less than 100 guineas 61b.

Upwards of half an hour was consumed at the post through the restiveness of Titmouse, who, in company with Good for. Nothing, repeatedly broke away. At length they were despatched to a pretty fair start, Titmouse, on the upper ground, having a slight advantage, the favourite going on second, with Queen Elizabeth at his girths and Good-for- Nothing in the rear. The ran thus into the Abingdon Mile bottom, where Titmouse was beaten, and the favourite came out and won very easily by half a length, three lengths between the second and third, Good-for-Nothing a bad fourth. T. French and J. Grimshaw were reported by the starter for disobedience, and suspended until the week after the first spring meeting.

Cassidia made play, with Curagao and Nebula lying in close attendance, with Sister to Wing some distance in their rear. Half-way in the cords Sister to Wing came with a rush, and caught Lord Stamford's filly a few strides from home, and won by a length. Curagao finished a bad third. First Year of the Fifth Biennial Stakes of 10 soya each, with 100 added, for yearlings of 1861; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies, Bst 61b ; the owner of the second horse to receive a sum equal to 10 per cent, on the whol., stake, and the owner of the third horse a sum equal to 5 per cent.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Onesander, 3to 1 agst Newsmen ger, 6 to 1 each agst Newchurch and The Ranger, and 100 to 8 agst Escape. Onesander, on the extreme right, was the first to show in advance, followed at an interval of two or three lengths by The Ranger and his stable companion, Prince Lee 800, on the same side. Stockbroker, Debden, Newchurch, and Brother to Morocco, lying in the centre of the course, were the next lot, followed on the lower ground by Gladstone, Newsmonger, Escape, and Sea King. In this way they ran to the brow of the hill, where Mr. Savile's two gra.. dually drew upon Lord Strathmore's colt followed by Glad stone and Escape. On reaching the Abingdon Mile bottom Onesander was beaten, and the lead taken by The Ranger, followed by Prince Lee 800, Gladstone, and Escape, the four yellows running in close company to half-way up the hill, where Prince Lee 800 was beaten and dropped back, leaving the race between the four placed. The Ranger winning cleverly by a neck ; a like distance second and third, half length third and fourth. Sea King was fifth, Newchurch sixth, and Brother to Morocco next.

The tedious delay that took place in getting the four ani mals away for the Free Handicap made such inroads upon the time set down for intervening races that, had Mr. Manning not used the great despatch in weighing out the 18 runners, some considerable time would have been wasted. As it was, the horses reached the starter at the appointed time, who speedily got them in order, and despatched them on their journey. After running a few strides, Attaman, on the left, was seen with a clear lead, but was shortly passed by Carisbrook, who with Watchman at his girths came on with the running, Attaman lying third, with Colleen Rhue, Bathilde, Brother to Springbok, and Battery in close at tendance, the next lot, on the lower ground, comprising Man. at Arms, the favourite, Bedouin, Magnum Bonum, and Gabrielle d'Estrees, the ruck being brought up by Cape Flyaway, Fairwater, and Paste, who was whipped in by Brown Duchess and Equinox. With little or no alteration they ran thus to the new ground, where Brother to Springbok rushed past his horses and assumed w ß he o r the comic and comi ng u p th e hill , b ut b efore reaching the site of Old D u k e ' s Stand his colours disappeared from the front an d the lead was left with Attaman, who, in company with Wat c h man, Carisbrook, Bathilde, Man-at-Arms, edu e i t o h , ey and rteh joined i P n h e d y shay Fairwater, is colt, cam came who on came t ohalfway up, the extreme right. In a few strides further Ca' isbrook and Man-at-Arms were beaten, leaving the issue with Watch man, Bedouin, Attaman, and Fairwater, the former with the lead, the latter holding her own, and looking formidable, until they reached the crown of the hill, where the weight began to tell. Young Adams, who had ridden his horse with great patience, then made his effort, and shot in front in the next half-dozen strides, and landed the American colours the winner by a length and a half, a head only game Fairwat er , A ttaman separating Watchman and the was an indifferent fourth, the Physalis colt fifth, Bathilde sixth, Carisbrook seventh ; then came Man-at-Arms, Mag num Bonum, Brother to Springbok, Colleen".Rhue, Cape Flyaway, Paste, and Battery, all of whom were widely spread, and pulling up as they went past the post, the last three being Brown Duchess, Gabrielle d'Estrees, and Equinox, Value of the stakes, £1,145.

Otherwise all is quiet. NEW YORK, March 25.—The British iron steam propeller Thistle, which run ashore on Sullivan's Island beach, was sold in Charleston recently for 80,000 dols. cash. ST. GEORGE, March 10.—The Merrimac, screw, which arrived at Bermuda to run the bl, ckade some 5 or 6 months ago, and shipped some of her cargo on by other steamers, was taking out the balance to lighten, so as to clean her bottom, previous to mak ing a trial for Charleston or Wilmington. WASHINGTON, March 22.—The Navy _Depart ment has received intelligence of the capture of the schooner Lightning, on the 9th inst. She is sup posed to be an English schooner, and her intention was to violate the blockade. Her cargo consisted mostly of sugar, coffee, and tin. HAVANNAH, March 14.—The Antonica screw, which lately arrived here from Charleston, via Nassau, cleared and sailed for Mobile on the 9th inst. The Confederate steamer Cuba, from St. Mark's, Florida, arrived here yesterday, with a large cargo of cotton, worth at least 200,000 dols., having successfully run the blockade. She brings news of the attack on Savannah and a battle in Tennessee. KEY WEST, March 16.—Tne English screw steamer Peterhoff, which arrived here a few days since as prize to the United States' steamer Vander bilt, is about to leave for Boston. to have her case adjudicated there. This is a very important case, involving a great value of property, and possibly damages for the detention and delay. It is, there fore, matter of regret that our Prize Court is not at home and in good working order. Tae sloop Relarapaga was brought in on Sunday, the 15th, having been captured by the J. S. Chambers, near Charlotte Harbour, Florida, with coffee, salt, and sundries, and a Spanish flag with seven stars in it. The Chambers had also captured another small schooner, the Ida, being compelled to use her com pletely up before she would surrender. The cargo was saved. PHILADELPHIA, March 24 —The bark American, at this port from Port-au-Prince, reports,—M itch 2, off Nicola Mile, was boarded by the British gun boat Plover, who overhauled the ship's papers and left. March 3—Was boarded by a boat abreast of Inagua, which gave information, re ceived by a British revenue cutter, that the priva teer Retribution was in Crooked Island Passage, and had taken several American vessels, run them ashore on Long Island, and discharged their car goes. The rebels had sold part of a cargo to mer chants on Fortune Island, and chartered and loaded a schooner with salt to run the blockade. March 11.—In lat. 31 48, long. 75 40, passed a small schooner bound South, painted white, topmasts down, having her deck crowded with men in blue clothing and white caps. Supposed her to be a privateer. After coming in sight of the American all the men except three went below, and the schooner proceeded on her course. NASSAU, March 11.—By the steamer Bury, which arrived from Charleston yesterday, we received files of our exchange papers from that city to the 7th inst. From the Courier and Mercury we glean the most important items of intelligence. The Federal gunboat Flambeau, from the blockading squadron, steamed towards Sullivan's Island on the 21st ult. under a flag of truce. " The unusual incident for a time," says the Mercury," gave rise to much specu lation among the wonder-mongers in the city ; but a boat from Fort Sumter having boarded the Flam beau, her mission was ascertained to relate to nothing more important than the delivery of some letters, &c., unless, indeed, her commander desired a closer view of our defences. The letters were chiefly for the officers of the captured gunboat Isaac P. Smith." March 15.—The Ruby left yesterday for a Confoderate port. Three steamers arrived yesterday and one this morning from Charleston. They bring no news of importance. The steamer Thistle, which ran ashore entering Charleston har bour, and it was supposed would be a total loss, has since been got off, and found to be but little damaged. She is expected here daily with a cargo of cotton. Capt. William Ross Postell, formerly in the United States revenue service, is here in the sloop yacht Rosalie, with a cargo of cotton_ The steamer Georgiana is at present at Cochrane's anchorage. She is a fine modelled vessel, and said to be very fast. There is not the least doubt of her being intended as a privateer. She had two heavy guns mounted when she arrived. The Governor, at the request of the Consul, ordered her to be searched. The report returned was that she was an armed merchantman. The schooner Albert, from Charleston, is reported by the British schooner Emulous to have been captured last Thursday north of Abaco, by one of our gun boats. She had on board 250 bales of cotton. There has not been a gunboat off our harbour for a month. 16th.—The Eagle has arrived with cotton from Wilmington. BARBADOES, Feb. 25.—Great is the excitement in this fast-anchored isle of Barbadoes. The Confede rate steamer Florida, Captain J. N. Maffit, arrived here "in distress," asking for coal. It appears that the above craft has either had a hard mauling or a rough handling by the "ocean monarch." The town is full of rumours of the wildest sort in regard to her operations, One is that she has had two fights with clipper ships, armed for cruising, and sunk them both. Captain Maffit was badly wounded in the first fight, but is now quite well enough to dine with the Governor yesterday, and was the observed of all observers. Even the negroes cheered him as he went up the wharf. Our representative here, Mr. Trowbridge, repaired to the Governor and loudly exclaimed against his allowing it to repair in the port. I understand he used the following words : "My Lord,—l hereby, in the name of the President of the United States of America, warn you from supplying or permitting any of your people aiding and abetting the rebels. My voice is raised without power to back it ; but the consequences will one day or other show themselves to the British Government. Calling upon all loyal citizens to take notice of my declaration, my lord, I take my departure." The Florida privately takes a mail for France and England. She went out in splendid style. She is magnificently handled. This is the truth. I have written just as things are, not as I wish them. Facts are facts, however disagreeable. The Governor has hurried off the Florida, and regretted her appearance. From the station look-out the Florida was seen at 5 p.m. to fire three vessels, some 10 miles from the Barbadoes shore. A large sidewheel steamer, presumed to be the Vanderbilt,went after the Florida, which seemed hove to, ready for a muss. We are all excitement and anxiety here. No cannonading has been re ported—only the echo of one or two heavy guns. Everybody who can get an elevated position is looking out for the sea fight. One of the vessels burnt was a splendid guano ship, with guro on board. The crew are landing. The Florida is now b now seen, all right, steering N. by E. She 15 ou for the English Channel. sew i ng "Rotten Itpw A large painting, representing o n Mr. Matt Morgan's during the Season," is still 14, Berners-street.

These admirable remedies scarcely ever fail to perform the cure of what were considered incurable cases till Professor Holloway made his invaluable discovery, now most deservedly prized throughout the world. 'COCHIN-CHINA, The Minister of Marine has received from Vice- Admiral Bonard, Governor and Commander-in- Chief in Cochin-China, despatches dated the 2d March, giving an account of the different military operations which led to the capture of Go Cong, the centre of the insurrection which broke out in De cember last : " The preparations for that expedition, which had required numerous reconnaissances, could not be completed until the 25th February. On the after noon of that day, a column commanded by General Chaumont lauded at the village of Dung-Son, which it took possession of, and immediately marched on the fortifications of VinfeLoi, which were carried, and the column established itself there. During the following night, at a signal made by the Ondine, on board of which Admiral Bonard had hoisted his flag, all the troops were landed, and at daybreak marched against the enemy with irresistible enthusiasm. The columns of attack under the orders of General Chaumont, composed of French soldiers and sailors, Spanish troops, and a native battalion, were com manded by the Spanish Colonel Palanca, chef-de bataillon Pietri, and Lieut. Guys, of the navy. In spite of the numerous defences which had been raised by the enemy, all resistance was promptly overcome, and we remained masters of all the positions. Lines of works, some of which were not less than five eights of a mile in extent and mounted with very heavy artillery, were carried by our troops. The Annamites, perceiving the turning movements of our colutns on Go-Cong, fled in all directions, throwing away their arms and their uniforms. A battery of several hundred small guns being taken in the rear fell immediately into our possession. This last attack, on which the Annamites had not calculated, and to which they replied by a very warm but ill directed cannonade, was attended with the most complete success. While the troops which had landed were marching on the enemy's positions, the vessels destroyed all the forts within their reach. The Annamites, terrified by those simultaneous attacks, fled on all sides. The fortress of Go-Cong was thus occupied on the same day. The following morning a column under the command of General Chaumont took possession of the fort of Trai-ca, the last refuge of the retels. That part of the province of Gia diuh, which had been constantly in a state of revolt, and which had become the centre of the insurrec tion, is thus in our power. The bands, which had takers refuge on that territory, have been dispersed, and there is every reason to hope that the lesson they have just received will render it impossible for them to renew their aggressions, and will destroy the influence which their chiefs had been momen tarily able to exercise over them. While those operations were being carried on against Go-Cong, Colonel Loubeee drove away some bands which had assembled in the forests, and took 1,000 prisoners. A part of the Mois, a tribe on the boundary of our territory to the East, and who had been induced to take part in the insurrection, abandoned the struggle, and the remainder of the combatants offered to capitulate. On the other side, chef de battalion Coquet was relieving Bariah, and scouring the Prefecture as far as the frontier of Bin-Thuan. Although our losses have been very trifling, it would be wrong tojudge by them of the difficulties attendant on this rapid expedition. Every measure indicated by a knowledge of the localities and of the climate had been adopted to lessen the fatigue of the troops and to shelter them from the fire of the enemy. The sanitary state is good, but we have to regret the death of Lieutenant Odet Pellion, of the navy, who died of an inflammatory complaint on board the Alarme, before Go-Cong. In these dif ferent expeditions the troops of all arms gave proof of the greatest courage and devotedness. The fidelity and discipline of the native battalion were remarked in all the affairs in which it was engaged." After those different successes, Admiral Bonard returned to Saigon, whence he had sent the Forbin steamer to Hue to inform the King of Annam of the arrival of Captain Tricault, with the ratification of the treaty of the sth June, 1862. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar General's Report.) In the week that ended last Saturday the deaths in London were 1,475. They were less in number by 119 than they were in the previous week. The average number of deaths in the corresponding weeks of ten previous years 1853 , 62 is, with a cor rection for increasing population, 1,368. The num ber returned for last week is therefore greater by 107 than the number estimated for the first week of April. There were 45 fatal cases of small-pox recorded in the week, and 51 measles. Both these diseases appear to prevail much in the sub-district of St. John, Westminster, where there were 4 deaths from small-pox, and 8 from measles. Sn3all-poz. - was fatal in 4 cases in the sub-district of St. Giles South; and measles in 5 cases in that of Kensington town. The deaths from sc trlatina rose to 80; and of these 4 occurred in Limehouse, 4 in the sub-district of St. Peter, Walworth, and 4 in Battersea. The registrar of Pentonville states that small-pox be gins to prevail much in his district, and he com plains of the great neglect of vaccination. A child, aged 20 months, was poisoned by suck ing lucifer matches. A boy, 15 years old, a convict in the House of Correction, Wandsworth, hanged himself. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of fele de se. _ Last week the births of 955 boys and 1,017 girls, in all 1,972 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1853-62 the average number (corrected) was 1,924. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.914 in. The readings fell to 29.65 in. on Sunday ; they rose to 30.10 in. on Tuesday and Friday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 45.3 deg., which is 1.5 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). On Sunday the mean temperature was 8.8 deg. above the average of the same day, but on three days it was below the average. The temperatur e was below the freezing point of water in threees F r i. The ; the lowest was 28.3 deg. on dliredonn ri. The highest day temperature was 6 t l he vrg-_ek r was day. The range of temperature inn aily e range was temperatures of therefore, 32.7 deg.

The mean tem pe raiure of the air in th e quarter was 42 . 5 deg,, which is considerably high e r th an th a t o f any o f t h e t h ree corresponding quarters in 1860-2. In the corre sponding quarter of 1861, when the mean tempera ture was 39.7 deg., the deaths wire 18,965, almost exactly the same number as in last quarter; but they occurred in a less population, and represent therefore a higher rate of mortality. The last three weeks of March in this year witnessed a very heavy mortality ; the weekly deaths ranged from 1,561 to 1,624, and exceeded those recorded in any of the previous ten weeks of the quarter. A remarkable fluctuation of the temperature was experienced ; for the mean rose as high as 47.3 deg. in the tenth week of the quarter, and fell in the next week to 38.1 deg. It was only in one other week, nam el y , the thir teenth, that the mean weekly temperat ur e wasa: high as 47 . 3 deg.; and only another I nstance o Mr. Watson's Bohemian, 3 yrs, 6st 51b (inc. 71b extra). . .
