Yesterday a meeting of the general committee of the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck was held at the offices in the Adelphi. Capt. S. Ellerby in the chair. We also observed present Col. Blanshard, R.E., C. 8., Capt. Halsted, R.N., Capt. E. A. Inglefield, R.N., Capt. Jerningham, R.N., Capt. M'Hardy, R.N., Capt. Hall, R.N., Major Palmer, Capt. Perrott, Capt. Washington, R.N., and Capt. Ward, R.N., the Inspector of Life Boats to the Institution. Mr. LEWIS (the secretary) having read the minutes of the previous meeting, the following rewards were ordered to be granted for saving life from wrecks— The silver medal of the institution to be presented to Mr. Arthur Brooks, chief boatman, and John Sims, boatman, of the Dungeness coast-guard station ; the thanks of the committee on vellum to Thomas Sampson, Esq., and a reward of 51. 10s. to several other parties, for the valuable assistance they had rendered to the crew and passengers of the German emigrant ship, Louise Emelie, which came •n shore at the above place during the late hurricane on the 27th December. A communication having been established between the wreck and the shore, lines were attached to two circular life-buoys which were on board the ship. The men, women, and children having been then forcibly secured to the life-buoys, were thus drawn on shore through the surf. At this time the sea was flying over the brig's maintopsail, which was set. Within an hour after the vessel came on shore the masts went by the board, her decks fell in, and she immediately began to break up. The first receding tide swept away 45 souls who were left on board. The two life-buoys having by this time become disabled and unfit for further use, the preservation of the 59 other persons was mainly owing to the coolness and gallantry of Mr. Brooks Sims, the coast-guard man, had also displayed much courage on the occasion; as on account of one of the life buoys breaking, to which was secured one of the emigrants, who was observed to sink, he rushed into the surf to his rescue ' six other men then formed a chain (by joining hands) from the beach ; Sims, and the emigrant whom he held firmly in his grasp, were thus drawn together on shore. On reach ing the land he however, from exhaustion, became in sensible. When the life buoys had become disabled, valuable aid was rendered by Thomas Sampson, Esq., who assisted with his horse in bringing a hawser over the beach from a distance, and by means of which many lives were saved. Lieut. lopkins, R.N., was of opinion, that had Carte's life buoys been used on the occasion they would not have broken, and that many more lives would, in all probability have been saved. Those used at this time had a hollow space in the middle, more than an inch in diameter, and appeared to be only kept to gether by the canvas which covered them. Mr. Carte had pronounced them to be cruel imitations of his inven tion. The thanks of the committee, on vellum, were pre sented to Mr. Hugh Williams, branch pilot at Rhosngyr, Carnarvonshire, and a reward of 41. 10s. to be divided between himself and his boat's crew for saving a part of the crew, consisting of 13 persons, of the barque Juno, of Russia, which was wrecked in Carnarvon Bay on the 27th December. The sea at that time was running mountains high, and it was entirely on account of the gallantry and perseverance displayed by Mr. Williams and his brave men that the shipwrecked crew were res cued from their perilous position. The ship's gig had previously made two or three attempts to return to the wreck, but the heavy sea had upset it, and the two men in her had a narrow escape from being drowned. The silver medal of the institution was voted to Mr. W. Bridle, master of the Primrose, who was upset from a boat on a late occasion at Lyme Regis,. in attempting to go to the assistance of the orew and passengers of the emigrant barque Heroine, when four of his comrades un happily perished in their laudable endeavours. The com mittee had, at a previous meeting voted 291. 10s. in aid of the subscriptions made for their widows and orphans, and for other services rendered by other parties on the occasion. A reward of 1/. 10s. was granted to two coast guard men at Carrick-hill, county Dublin, for having attempted with their punt to rescue the crew of the brig Annie, of Workington, which was wrecked near the above place on the 25th ult. The men had launched their punt un der extremely dangerous circumstances, and had nearly succeeded in reaching the wreck, when one of them was struck by a heavy sea, disabled, and nea r ly was h e d over board. The shipwrecked crew were fortunately subse quently saved by Dennet's rocks which had been imme diately brought to the 'spot through the promptitude of Captain Irwin, R.N., to whom the committee presented their thanks. The sum of 15s. was voted to a poor man on the coast of Donegal, in consideration of his intrepidity in rushing into the surf to save the master and mate of the sloop Lovely, of Inverness, which was wrecked near Innisman Island, on the 29th December last. A reward of 3/. was granted to a boat's crew on the coast of Carnarvon, for rescuing the crew of nine per sons of the Russian brig Die Krone, bound from Wilm ington to Liverpool, on the 4th ult., when she went to pieces soon after in Carnarvon Bay. The thanks of the committee on vellum were presented to Mr. W. Stevenson, master of the schooner Steerwell, of Bill Quay, in consideration of his humane and prompt conduct on the 26th Dec., in bearing down to the assis tance of the crew of the John White, who was observed to have a flag of distress flying, and to be in a sinking state on the Whitby Bar; the vessel foundered in less than one hour after her crew were taken off. The silver medal of the institutiOnwa;presented to John Craddock, commission coast guard boatman at Stonehaven, in appreciation of his gallant services to the crew of the screw Christiana, of Arbroath, wrecked near the above place during a heavy gale on the 26th Nov. last. In order to save the crew it was necessary to swim to a rock at some distance from the main body of the rocks, This Craddock did, followed by others, and, ( having succeeded in establishing a communication with the wreck by means of ropes, the shipwrecked men were hauled on shore. 'The thanks of the committee were also voted to Lieut. Kennedy, RN., chief officer of Cushendeen coast guard station, and a reward of 3/. to his boat's crew for their gallant conduct on the occasion of the wreck of the schooner Suspense, of Glasgow, on the 15th ult. There seemed every probability of the crew perishing, when the lieutenant with his brave men put off in his boat, against the remonstrances of many persons on the beach. He, however, persevered, and fortunately succeeded in tak ing the crew (four in number) off the bowsprit and in bringing them safely on shore, amidst the acclamations of the people on the beach. Lieut. Kennedy had had the silver medal of the institution presented to him for a previous act of gallantry. It was stated that very favourable accounts continued to be received of the new life-boats on Peake's design, and that that placed at North Sunderland had saved the lives of some shipwrecked men on a recent occasion ; also n said ow bui l d i t that f t theor various institution points had n tb eseveral coast.of it 'as t It was reported that the past year had been most dis astrousfor tahnedseitb7)as shipwrecks, and that hundreds of poor fellows had met with a watery grave. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From as London New Price Current of this day.) SUGAR.—The market remains in a firm position, and the quantity of colonial brought forward has not exceeded the wants of home dealers, which is equal to the previous week, and imports are not larger. Foreign is much re quired, both by exporters and the home trade, prices hay mg rather an upward tendency. Previous terms are well maintained for all descriptions of West India, there having been a fair demand ; low to fine brown at 318 to ,345, ord to fine yellow 34$ 6d to 39s ; and refinin g 32s to 375. To day there was no public s a le of any kind of sugar, yet the market for colonial presented a dull aspect. West India was dealt in with reluctance, still prices are not lower than last Friday. Purchases are only 210, ranking for the week 1,698 hhds, &e., but during that time 800 hlads have been sold out of.second. hands. REFlNED.—Previous terms are well sustained for refined sugar, home dealers having been ready buyers, and supply is moderato, especially of low and mid sorts. The rates ob tained for browntlumps have been 44s 6d to 455, tittlers, low to fine 45s 64 to 495, double 50s to 525, Hambro loaves 46s to 50s, double 51s to 535, and standard lumps 46s 6d per cwt. Bastards continues to be much wanted, and the curroncy is firm ; brown at 27s 6d to 31s 6d, and yellow 32s to 35s 6d.. A free sale exists for pieces ; fine at 40s to 41s 6d, and common to good 36s to 39s 6d. In wet lumps large transactions have taken place ; fine at 43s 5d to 44s 6d, and other sorts 42s to 435. Treacle is much required, and there is a further advance, supply not increasing.

MAURlTlUS.—Purchases have bobn of importance, and previous terms are well sustained, the lower sorts having been most in request. At auction 10,854 bags were dis prsed of ; fine brown at 338 6d to 345, low to middling yellow 34s 6d to 35s 6d, good 36s to 36s 6d, fine 37s to 38s 6d, ordinary to fine refining 338 6d to 37s 6d, grainy white 41s to 43s 6d, fine yellow ditto 39s to 40s 6d, and other sorts 36s to 38s 6d. This afternoon Mauritius sugar met with little notice privately.

There is a good demand for duty paid parcels, and last week's currency is well supported for all sorts. To-day there were several buyers of foreign sugar, both for exportation and refining in the United Kingdom, but business was much interfered with by the refusal oholders to accept previous prices. MOLASSES.—There is still a good demand, and supply being scanty, stiff prices are obtained. Sales of Cuba made at 16s to 17s St. Vincents and Antigua, 17s to 17s 6d, other sorts of !

MONUMENT TO THE LATE THOMAS HOOD. l l b ll, y Last night an exposition of the g enius and writings of llu a s l t le r r at r i a o a n m s, , E was xetgervla m the r. la vir te n T ia h m om p a a s r H ao o n o a d , in withth illustrations, s under the auspices of the Hood Memorial Co • mmi the benefit of the fund. Committee, for In the absence of Charles Mackay, Esq., LL.D., from illness, and who had been announced to preside, Fra • new Bennoch, Esq., took the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, it was a matter of great pain to be called to the chair, as his friend Dr. Mackay had un fortunately been seized with a sudden and severe illness. It was right that D r. Macka y should have been called upon to preside over such a meeting as this, to comme morate the genius of Thomas Hood, the great poet of the poor, because all would recognise in Dr. Mackay the great living poet of the people. He then called upon the lecturer to proceed. The LECTURER, alluding to the preface of the collec tion of Hood's poems, said it would be his object to show that the genius of the deceased was of a much larger and comprehensive character than was generally conceived, when men read with avidity his humorous and comic effusions. His was a fine genius, which had been greatly misinterpreted. Under the ephemeral title of jester, there 'was the true spirit of a poet. His versatile powers of description , under all phases, were, perhaps, unequalled. His work s mi g ht be ranged into three classes :—First, the " Dream of Eugene Aram," the " Plea of the Midsummer Fairies ;' then his works of wit and humour ; and, his lyrics occupying grave the last. The object of the lecturer, generally, was to show the original bent of Hood's genius as evinced in his earlier poems, and their compa rative neglect. Wit and humour ; Hood's genial and kindly spirit as a humourist • exhuberance of his comic vein ; more chastened development of his humour when freed from uncurb conceits ; effects of higher aims upon his powers, as shown in his later poems ; combination of humour and pathos ; Hood's earnest and large-hearted sympathy with want and suf fering. His purpose of assisting to redress the social wrongs of the age, and the eminent success of his first efforts, and his enthusiasm in the cause unsubdued by ill-health, and arrested only by his death. Mr. Parsons gave, with great effect and taste, various illustrations from many of Hood's b est works, amongs others from the " Plea of the Midsummer Fairies,"M describing .Queen Titania and her Court • the "Ode to 'M In reference to "Eugene Court; they" Dream," he alluded to the fact that Hood ackno had under the a i nfluence of wledged he ws indebted t o goht the idea from a dream he m are. Next followed extracts or illustrations from " The tearful reproach of a Forsaken Woman," " The Lee Shore, "Lines on seeing my wife and her two chil dren sleeping in the same chamber, showing that the genius of Hood was really of a melancholy tendency. Hood was not a mere punster, as many had erroneously supposed, though he had made the punning art his own, as in the songs of " Young Ben" and "Ben Battle." An extract of a letter addressed by the deceased poet to the secre t a ry of the Manchester Athenaeum,in reply to a request that he would become one of its supporters, ex cited intense laughter and sorrow, in quick alternation. " A Wave of the Sea" was listened to with profound at tention. Extracts from " The history of Miss Kiel mansegffe and her Ancestors," a production of intense wit and sarcasm, elicited much applause. The apostrophe " to "Bed" and th e "Haunted House concluded tha lec ture, which was of a very pleasing c haracter, and highly creditable to Mr. Parsons ; and we were glad to see that the room was well filled. A vote of thanks to Mr. Bennoch for having kindly taken the chair was carried un animousl, and was re sponded to in graceful term s by that gentleman . POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—In consequence of a represen tation made to the Lord Mayor by the secretary to the Hudson's Bay Company; that a native of the Sandwich Isles, who had been engaged, together with fourteen others, inhabitants of Honolulu, to navigate the ship called the Pekin home to England, had been killed on the passage, an inquiry was actively instituted. Mr. May nard, of the firm of Crowder and Maynard, appeared to take part in the investigation, and Mr. MuHens, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, attended for Thomas Golden Vaile, mate of the vessel, the person charged upon suspi cion of having caused the death of the deceased with violence. With the assistance of the Rev. Mr. Ellis, who had been during a considerable period a missionary at those islands, the statements made by the natives who witnessed the transaction on board were laid before the Lord Mayor, who was during the day occupied exclusively in examining the witnesses. By the consent of the solicitors on both sides, Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, read the depositions taken as the foundation of an application for a warrant against the mate, in order that they might be used as evidence to sanction the remand of the accused. The following is the substance of the testimony, which was given without the slightest hesitation by the black crew. Each of the islanders, upon being questioned by the Lord Mayor as to his knowledge of the nature of an oath, said, "A man who tells a lie will have nothing but pain hereafter (pointing to the fire.) The spirit of a good man will leave his body and go to heaven. The truth is always told when the heart is warm (purely directed.) God is Jehovah in heaven. The body dies —goes to dust. The soul lives after death. It never dies. The oath I take is like a prayer calling upon God to look and see that what I say is true." Tom, a native of the Sandwich Island Oahu, said—l was on board the Pekin as a sailor. There were fifteen of us natives on board. I know the man named Doyle. He was one of our number, and I recollect his dying on board. I saw the mate (Mr. Vaile) hit him on the back of the neck. The blow was struck about eleven o'clock in the day. Doyle did not die at that time. He died at four grogs (four o'clock) in the night after. Doyle was down on the deck, but was going up into the rigging. I was up in the rigging at the time. The mate struck him four times, and Doyle fell down. He lay down on the deck, and I did not hear him speak after that. I never heard him ask for some water after that. He died at four o'clock, down below. None of the natives beat Doyle. The mate beat him with big wood (a large piece of firewood), about the size of my arm. I was in the middle rigging, and Doyle was behind me. He was a little way up, and the mate was on the deck, and went up after him and struck him, and Doyle fell down on the deck, and then the mate struck him again, and Doyle never spoke afterwards. Joe, a native of Oahu, said—l knew Doyle. I think his name was Macaulie. I recollect his dying in the ship. I have not seen anybody do anything to him be fore he died, except the mate, who beat him. I was in the maintopsail. I was down on deck. The mate beat him with a stick, or wood, or rope, or something or other across the back of the neck. He beat him once, then Doyle fell, and was going to get up, but could not rise. He fell down, and was like sleep, and he lay down. That's all. I did not hear him speak. No one else beat him. He was taken forward. He had nothing to eat after that. I spoke to him, but he could not speak. I helped to carry hi m d o wn, and he did so [here the wit ness turned up hi s eyes an d d re w his breath in imitati on o f a person in the last agonies]. The mate was Mr. "Wale." Doyle was not sick before, He was black in the neck and eye —one eye when I sewed him up. He was also black on the side. The mate struck him two or three times after the first time, and he could not get up again, and I think he died from that. I was in the maintop. Doyle was ordered to go up, but he had a large foot and could not, and that was the cause of the mate's striking him. The mate struck him on the ribs as well as the neck, and struck him on the eye too, and made that bad. I told the captain in the morning the man was dead, and the captain told me to sew the dead man up. We all went to tell the captain. The following are the statements made by the captain and second mate of the vessel : Capt. George Whitby said—l was master of the ship Pekin, which belongs to Messrs. Smith, of London and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on a voyage from Columbia River, Oregon Territory, to Honolulu, in the Sandwich Isles, and from thence to England. We left Columbia River on the 26th of July, 1852, and arrived at Honolulu at the end of August. I had at that time only three able seamen in ad dition to myself, two officers, and three apprentices, to na vigate the ship. As I could not find any Europeans there whom I could engage to assist in navigating the vessel, I engaged at Honoluhu 15 natives to help me in so doing. We left Honoluhu on the 2d of September, and on the 25th or 26th December one of the men, whom we nick named Doyle, died suddenly on board whilst we were about a day's sail from the Western Islands. About eight o'clock on the morning, the chief mate, Thomas Golden Vaile, came to the door of the cuddy, and said that Doyle was dead, and that the cook had told him so. The weather at that time was so boisterous that I had not an opportunity of examining the body until two o'clock in the afternoon, but I then found no appear ances indicating that any violence had been committed, nor was I aware, nor am I now aware, of any violence having been committed upon him. On the day before the death all hands were ordered aloft to reef the main topsail, and the deceased was the last to go up. He had gone about half way up the rigging, but could not go up higher. I believe he was then in proper health. The chief mate, seeing that he would not go up, went up to him, and told him to go up, and he refused. The mate then took a rope and tied if round his body once, and tied him to the rigging for about one minute. I ordered the mate to let the man come down, as it was no use to punish him. No personal violence was used by the mate beyond the tying the man round the body. I saw Doyle afterwards during the day. He made no complaint, but he asked for a little water, which was not given to him. He did not appear ill. There had been a great deal of quarreling between the deceased and the other natives during the voyage. The other natives had refused to allow him to go into the forecastle off Cape Horn. I saw no difference in the state of Doyle's health after he came down from the rigging. When he come down he lay upon the deck, and the mate ordered hira to be carried below, but the other natives carried him under the forecastle, and did not take him below. I afterwards ordered him to be taken down below, and he was accordingly carried down. I did not see him again till he was dead. It was so much the custom of the natives to lie about the deck that I did not consider his doing so anything unusual. Francis Saarsfield Comyn, second mate on board the Pekin, said I remember the death of the native named Doyle. I was not aware of hi s h av i ng b een ill or s i c k , nor did I hear him complain of s i c k ness . I did not see when ps the mate strike Doyle th e d ay b e f ore the man died. I saw him going to strike him with a p i ece o f o ld l ea d li ne, but I told him not to d o so , an d h e did not. After w D a o s yl s e ta w o a d s io d g ea o d o his face and the li matew e were wasgoing swollen. t strikeo Doyle him. I saw Doyle lie down. Valle did not knock him down. I did not see the mate or any other person use violence to the deceased. I believe the death of Doyle to have been natural. I saw him in the rigging the day before. I did not see him tied there. He might have been there perhaps half an hour. I had seen him at work well enough four hours before that time. I was not aware that he was ill till after he was dead. I think it was between eleven and twelve o'clock when I saw the mate going to strike him ; but I know that the mate did not strike him. I never heard of any complaint being made about the deceased having been subjected to any ill-treatment. Mr. Mullens said that his client had left Newcastle upon-Tyne for the purpose of coming to London, to face the inquiry the moment he heard of the accusation, and was ready to give bail to any amount to appear and an swer the charge in its future stages. The Lord Mayor said he would accept bail ; and, un exceptionable securities having been offered and taken, the case was adjourned for further examination. GIIILDHALL.—Mr. John Chuck, a broker, in Shoe lane, was summoned before Sir James Duke and Alder man Copeland, to answer a complaint for making other charges in respect to a distress for rates than are per mitted to be made in the schedule of such charges in the act for regulating distresses, John Richards, a coffee-house keeper, of 14, London wall, said the defendant distrained his goods three weeks before Christmas for 15s, the consolidated rate, and 10s. the sewers rate. The goods were taken away, sold by public auction for 3/. 6s. 6d., and the expenses with the rates amounted t o 3/ . 9 s. 3.; neither a copy of the dis tress warrant, inventory, or any other paper was left by the defendant at the time of the seizure. Alderman Copeland asked for the warrant, and on re ceiving it expressed his astonishment at perceiving that it contained the names of several other parties, whose goods had also been distrained. The worthy alderman inquired if it was customary to include the names of twenty persons in one warrant ? Mr. Wood, the chief clerk, said that such was the universal practice with regard to rates. Alderman Copeland then asked if every person named in the warrant was charged the expense of it ? Mr. Wood said it was so. Alderman Copeland said if that was the case the prac tice ought to be altered, and the sooner it WM brought before the Court of Sewers the better, for such a prac tice ought not to be allowed to exist in the city of London. Sir James Duke inquired if the defendant seized all the furniture in the place for 255. The defendant said he had done so. Alderman Copeland asked if it was the practice to seize all the furniture in the house for rates over and above the amount of the claim? The defendant said ho generally took what was suffi cient to cover the rates, and sometimes he did not seize enough, and when he took more than would meet the claim he returned the overplus. Alderman Copeland said he did not consider, with re gard to the goods, that there had been a bona fide sale, and he also thought that the complainant had not been fairly dealt by in the matter. However, he would ad journ the case until Tuesday next, and in the meantime see Mr. Deputy Peacock upon the subject, in order that the Court of Sewers might be held at an earlier hour, to enable him to give his decision in the case before him. The papers and documents were then impounded by the Court, and the summons was adjourned. WESTMINSTER.— Wm. Potter, a cab-driver, was charged with th e f o ll ow i ng di sgrace ful conduct : Benjamin Willi ams, servant in the estab lishment of Mr. R. Marti n , 21, aton-square, stated th at defendant drove home a lady t o hi s mas t er 's house She little Fe fore one on the morn i ng o f th e 26th ult. gav hip a shilling for his far e an d came into the hall, wh e n wit ness was about to close the door, but defendant pre vented him, and th rus ti n g the door open followed the lady. He then exclaimed, "Two shillings I must have, and two shillings I will have before I leave the house," and he would see witness before he went out of the house without. He then trust his fist it witness's face. The latter, • notwithstanding his threats, seized him by the collar and forced him outside the door, but was unable to close it in consequence of defendant's clinging to the frame. Mr. Broderip said he would not be doing his duty to the public if he did not make an example of this case. He therefore committed defendant for one month to hard labour in the House of Correction. • LIFE 130 ATS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Another lamentable accident, causing the loss o six lives, having happened to one of the " prize life boats," and the occurrence of a third within so short a period being well calculated to shake all confidence in them, I beg to solicit the admission into your columns 4e° an explanation of its cause, together with a few remarks which I believe may be useful towardspreventing similar accidents in future, not only to other life boats at those places where there management may not already bo un derstood, but also to ordinary ships' boats when com pelled to desert their vessels and attempt to land in a heavy surf. In again offering my opinion on this subject through the medium of The Times, I do so with the more confi dence from being in no manner interested in the success of Mr. Beeching's over other life boats, or being in any way connected with the society which has adopted them, beyond the sympathy naturally existing between those who are labouring in the same cause ; my object being, by pointing out what I believe to have been the true cause of this calamity, to pre rent a prejudice, without sufficient foundation, from beng taken against the many boats of this build, already stationed on the coast, and to lead, by discussion of the question, to some more uni versally recognised and established rule for the manage ment of life boats in general. As was the case with the boats at Lytham and Caer narvon, so also this one was under sail at the time she was upset. She had been to a wreck at a distance of six or eight miles from the land, and was on her return in the night time, running before the wind and sea, when, on nearing the shore and getting within the broken water, a heavy breaker threw her stern up and buried her lea gunwale under water ; she then broached-to, broadside on to the sea, and was turned over by the fol lowing wave. The wind had previously fallen light, so that the accident was occasioned by the action of the sea alone. As this is the most frequent mode by which boats are lost in a surf, whether with a sail set or not, and as the safety of any boat depends on her proper management under such circumstancees, it will be well in the first place to explain the nature of the danger, and especially as it is understood by even few sailors, except the most experienced fishermen and boatmen who pursue their avocations on the open coast; and this for the simple reason, that the crews of vessels, whether merchantmen or men of war, never attempt to land in a heavy surf but from necessity, and so have no means of acquiring the practical knowledge which might avail them in the hour of danger. It is a well known thing to the seamen on the most exposed parts of our coast that the chief danger to a boat does not occur when going off against a heavy sea, but on returning before it, at which time the greatest skill and carefulness are necessary, even under oars, to prevent a boat from broaching-to and turning broadside on to the sea. Their experience has taught them that, when seeing a heavy breaker following their boat up from astern, instead of yielding to the natural impulse of giving her all possible speed away from it, and so, as might be expected, to lessen the violence of the shock, their only safety lies in checking the boat's way through the water, and keeping her end on to the sea until it has passed them, to effect which they back their oars, or even face a portion of the crew round the reverse way, who row backwards with all their force against the heaviest of the seas as they approach. If this precau tion be neglected, it is almost a matter of certainty that the boat will broach-to broadside to the sea and be cap sized. In truth, in this manner nearly all the crews of distressed vessels who take to their boats and attempt to land through a heavy surf are drowned. The circulation of this information among merchant seamen may, I believe, be instrumental in saving many lives. It is not, of course, pretended that it is an infal lible rule of safety ; a boat may be so short or small in proportion to the magnitude of the waves, that they may break over her bow or stern (whichever is to seaward) at fill her at once, or throw her "end over end ;" but in such a case it is their only chance. With a boat under the command of oars this manage ment may be readily effected, but not so under sail, since, even if the sails be lowered, the boat will probably still retain too much speed, and if she broach-to with the top weight of a mast and sail nothing can prevent her capsizing if the sea be very heavy. Without the top weight of a mast and sail, and with a considerable amount of ballast, a life boat may, in the like circumstances, go no further than her beam ends, merely half filling with water, and then turning round head to the sea ; and as I have witnessed such an effect take place in one of Mr. Beeching's boats, of much smaller dimensions than the one now in question (alluded to in my former letter, which appeared in the Times of the 15th October last), we may fairly conclude that had this one had no mast and sail up she might not have been upset. It cannot, I conceive, be too urgently forced on the attention of the crews of such life boats as have the means of both rowing and sailing, that, if they have been off to a distant wreck under sail, their proper course on nearing the land, and before getting into broken water, even if it be daylight, will be to get down their mast and sail, and to take their boat carefully in under oars. In the night time, as was the case in this instance, when the breakers cannot be seen until the boat is among them, to run over the bar of a river, or through any heavy broken water, under sail, I consider to be an act of extreme imprudence. It may not be uninteresting even to the general reader to point out what is evidently the cause of this unex pected effect of the action of the sea, which requires a treatment the reverse of that which we should pursue on an impending collision between two opposite forces upon the land, and which makes it safer to boldly charge the danger than to flee from it. It would be unsuitable here to enter on the theory of the waves as far as it is understood, and the fact is ob served by every one, that as they approach the shore, and meet the rebound of those which have preceded them, their violence is increased, and, acquirin g now an actually progressive motion, their upper stratum rushes onward, and falls over like a cataract, while a constant undercurrent or backwater at the same time setting off against them serves but to increase their fury mil adds greatly to their dangerous effects. On a boat advancing against one of these waves, or, as they are now denominated, rollers, from their rolling or tumbling motion, or breakers, from their broken sur face, she receives the concussion of the blow, parts the wave with her bow, by her own inertia retains her posi tion, and the immediate danger is past. To be sure, if she be too short and small in proportion to the height of the waves, she may be thrown almost into a perpendicu lar position and turned "end over end," as it is termed. Or, again, if she be too cumbersome or her bow present too broad or bluff a surface to the water, she may in a very heavy sea lose her head way and be driven astern, when, if she be straight sheered and have but little height at her ends, she may be forced down stern fore most, or be turned over quarter ways. If, however, she have sufficient height of bow to prevent the sea from breaking in a large body over it, and enough power to retain her headway over the crest of the wave, she has nothing to fear. On returning to the shore, however, if she attempt a run from a heavy breaker or roller, it soon catches her, throws her stern up, and carries her away with it ; she cannot get away from it ; she and it together are run ning along at a frightful pace over the ground, yet she has not steerage-way through the water, and is quite unmanageable ; it hugs her and crowds on her more and more ; it runs her bow under water ; the under current, acting on her fore foot, turns her round broadside to the sea, which still presses on her ; her whole lee side is under water, and, if an ordinary open boat, she is in stantly upset. Even if she be a life-boat, unless she has a large amount of well secured ballast, and although she have no mast or sail up, she will probably be turned quite over either by the same wave, or else by the fol lowing one, which will fall on her before she can recover her position. It may, therefore, be considered an axiom in the management of all boats in a heavy sea and shoal water, when going to windward to give the boat the greatest possible speed against each sea as it approaches, and when rowing to leeward to check her way and back her against each wave until it has passed. It may be useful here, if not intruding too much on your space, to describe a contrivance adopted by the fishermen on the Norfolk coast to prevent their boats from broaching-to, which might 'with advantage be imitated elsewhere. They have a long canvas bag called a " drogue," made in the shape of a common candle ex tinguisher, the larger end, being two feet or more wide, and the smaller having a hole through it. When a boat is running before the sea in broken water, the drogue is thrown over and towed astern by a stout rope with the larger end foremost, and which, from the resistance that it opposed to the water, holds the boat's stern back, and tends to keep her endways to the sea. When the dan ger has passed the large tow rope can be let go, and it is then towed, with the smaller end or apex of the cone foremost, by a small line previously attached, when its sides collapse, and it offers but little resistance to the water. I believe that an article of this description would be a valuable addition to the gear of every life boat. _ 11; conclusion, Sir, I beg to state that, in my opinion, this casualty ought not to militate against Mr. Beech ing's boats, although a recurrence of it might possibly be less likely to occur had they iron keels instead of water ballast ; that the same result might possibly have taken place in any other description of boat under the same circumstances ; and that the most profitable use which may now be made of it is as a beacon to warn against similar injudicious management in future cases. Hoping that the above remarks may not be without some use, if they only lead to a careful consideration of the subject, and to collecting the opinions of those who have greater experience than I have had an opportunity for acquiring.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. R. WARD, Commander, R.N. , Inspector of Life-boats to th e Royal National Shipwreck Institution.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. At the last meeting of the society, Mr. James Simpson, vice-president, in the chair, The paper was read on the "Pneumatics of Mines," by Mr. Joshua Richardson, M. Inst. C.E. The author, after showing and lamenting the discrepancy existing among the various systems of ventilation, which might be traced to the want of good formulm for the necessary calculations, strengthed his position by the evidence given in the reports of the Parliamentary Committees, and of that at South Shields in 1843. He then explained the usual modes of calculation, and demonstrated that many more points required to be considered than were ordina rily admitted to bear upon the question, and that no sound basis of calculation could be formed on any one of the various elements, but that the whole must be carefully considered, after having examined each element in detail. The chemical constitution and properties of atmos pheric air were then considered, its uses in the animal economy, its adulteration by deleterious gases, and the compensating action provided by nature, for restoring it to its primitive purity. The principles of combustion were then defined, and calculations were given, for determining the amount of atmospheric air required for supporting combustion and animal respiration, and for compensating for the amount of deterioration by perspiration. The several quantities of air, practically required in mines, for the healthful support of men and horses, were carefully shown, with the modes of calculating ; allowing for the distance the air must travel. Then followed the analysis of the deleterious gases ex isting in mines ; the fire-damp, choke-damp, and after damp—with the quantity of atmospheric air. required to dilute these vapours, so as to render them innocuous, or to promote such ample ventilation as to sweep them away from the galleries of the mines. A clear description was then given of the " Eudiome ter," and of the method of using it, to discover the quan tity of oxygen, and the percentage of carburetted hydro gen, or other gases, contained in the air of any part of a mine. The solution of chlorine in water, determining the quantity of hydro-carbonate, or fire-damp present ; that of green sulphate of iron, impregnated with nitrous gas, the relative quantity of oxygen, and that of lime water (or better, caustic potassa, or baryta), the relative admixture of carbonic acid. The absolute necessity for diluting the fire damp with at least thirty ti mes it s volume of atmospheric air, and forcing it out of the mine with rapidity, was insisted on, and examples given of explosions occurring apparently from the mos;; opposite causes, still, however, traceable to the same source—a deficiency of ventilation. The diagram of Dr. Clarny' .. s clever analysis of the fire damp was then given and reasoned on ; and the pre cautions to be observed on entering a mine, after an ex plosion, were detailed at length, as more men were, ge nerally, killed by the after-damp, than by the explosion itself. - The calculations were then given, for determining, from the previous data, the quantity of air actually re quired in mines, taking into consideration the number of men, horses, and lights, the presence of deleterious gases, the increased temperature, the difference of barometric pressure, and the length of the galleries through which the air coursed. The results were shown in tabular forms, and simple rules were deduced for determining the quantities re quired, under all circumstances of varying per centage of deleterious gases, &c. The amount given by these rules might appear large, but when compared with the tabular statement of the quantity of air actually passing through twenty-four of the principal mines in Great Britain, it was shown to be below that allowed for the best, and even those had not been entirely free from accidental explosions. The results of the investigation appeared to demon strate tie possibility of determining the quantity of air cal require dons ones, h in mine under all circumstances , basing the culae premises 'demonstrated in the intro duction, and using the simple rules, whose results cor responded, in a remarkable degree with the best practical observations ; and a hope was expressed that the great simplicity and applicability of the ru'es would recom mend them to notice and experiment, until time, by establishing their tr ustworthiness, should induce their general adoption, The discussion of the paper was adjourned, until the meeting of Tuesday, February Bth, when the whole evening would be devoted to the subject.

RIGHT TO STOP UP A PUBLIC FOOTWAY.—On Tues day an inquisition, under her Majesty's writ of ad quod damnum, was executed at the City Arms Tavern, Poplar, before Mr. Under-Sheriff James Burchell, and a special jury of twenty-two county magistrates and opulent , merchants, for the purpose of ascertaining " whether or no it would be to the prejudice or damage of the Crown or the public to stop up or destroy a certain footpath leading from the bridge of the south West India Dock to the end of Robert-street, on the route to the ferry in the Isle of Dogs, adjoining the premises of Sir Charles Bigg, Price, and Co., opposite to the shores of Greenwich, in the county of Kent." Mr. Bodkin said— -About a mile from the premises of Sir Charles Price, a ferry had existed for many years, and so far back as 1813 an act was obtained by a company, in which the Legislature had declared not only that it was necessary for the formation of the road, known as the Communication-road, to be made by the com pany, but that it was also for the better conve nience of the public that the footpath, from the Mill wall to the extremity of Mr. Batson's premises on the east, might be stopped. The eminent merchant whom he represented did rot propose to stop up the whole of that paai, but only 430 feet extending from Messrs. Se ward and Co.'s premises to the corner of Robert eet. He regt.reed this as a most important inquiry, and the Crown, in its desire to prot?,ct the rights of the public, had instituted this proceeding through the Court of Chance -7, and left the determination of it to a jury, which was similarly constituted as a grand jury of the county. A juror inquired of Mr. Morris, sen., if Sir C. Price was to give any recompeace for stopping up the foo 4 path ? Mr. Morris replied that the parish would re ceive something. Mr. Baker, the coroner, said he had known the neighbourhood for 63 or 64 years, and was clerk to the trustees of th e F err y- roa d . They fully con curred in closing the footpath in question. The public, he was coavinced, would suffer no detriment. He had frequently, in the discharge of his duties in that parish, been in that neighbourhood, and always avoided the footpath in question, preferring the road, as it was more clean. Several other witnesses gave similar testimony. The jury having expressed themselves satisfiedte footpath h pa th th e evidence, a formal verdict for st o p p i ng up the was then recorded, for the purpose of being returned to the Lord Chancellor.
