PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROIII

SHIPWRECK.

A meeting of the Royal National Life-boat Institution
was held on Thursday, at its house, John-street,
Adelphi ; Thomas Baring, Esq., M.P., chairman of the
society, in the chair. There were also present Sir
Perrott, Bart., T. Chapman, Esq., and several other
gentlemen. Mr. Lewis, the secretary, having read the
minutes of the previous meeting, the second service
clasp was voted to Captain Wasey, R.N., Inspecting
Commander of the Coast Guard, in testimony of his
gallant conduct in putting off in the Fleetwood life-boat,
which belongs to the institution, and rescuing the crew
of four men of the schooner Catherine, of Newry, which
was stranded off Fleetwood on the 19th ult. The brave
crew of the life-boat received also a pecuniary
reward for their valuable services. The silver
medal of the institution was likewise presented
to Captain T. Davies, R.N., Inspecting Com-
mander of the Coast Guard at Yarmouth, and the same
to George Milligan, coxswain of the life-boat, and £2l
to the crew, in testimony of their intrepid services in
putting off in the Yarmouth surf life-boat, which
belongs to the institution, and saving the crew of five
men from the sloop John Bull, of that town, which,
during a violent gale of wind, was wrecked off Yarmouth
Pier on the night of the 17th ultimo. This was con-
sidered a most noble and da:ing service in the midst of
an awful night.—A reward of £l3 was also voted to
the crew of the Ayr (North Britain) life-bogt, which
belongs to the National Institution, for saving the crew,
consisting of 15 persons, from the barque Niagara, of
Shields, which, during a gale, was stranded off Ayr
on the 19th ult. This life-boat had not long been on her
station, and nobly had she performed her first mission of
mercy. The poor sailors were so much exhausted when
rescued, that they had previously been unable to launch
their long-boat. All of them would probably have
perished before the next morning, had they been left ire
their forlorn condition. Rewards amounting to £49
were also voted to the institution's life-boats stationed at
Holyhead, Cahore, Wicklow, and Frasetburgh, for
putting off recently with the view of rendering
assistance to ships in distress, but which did not
afterwards require their aid. A reward of £5 10s. was
also voted to the crew of the Teignmouth life-boat, which
belongs to the institution, for putting off and bringing a
barge and her crew, who were seen some three miles from
land in a disabled state, to a place of safety. The
Ramsgate Harbour Life-boat, in ' conjunction with a
steam-tug belonging to the commissioners, had been
instrumental, during the past month, in saving nineteen
persons from an inevitable death from the Spanish brig
Samaritano, on the eight of the 19th ult. This was a
most meritorious service, and reflecting the highest
credit on the skill and perseverance of the crews of the
life-boat and steam-tug. A reward of £lO was also
voted to the crew of the institution's large life-boat at
Yarmouth for putting off, on Tuesday last, and
rescuing, during a heavy gale, the crew of the
Zephyr, which was wrecked on the Scroby Sands.
Also a reward of £4 10s. to the crew of the Penmon
(Anglesey) life-boat, which belongs to the institution,
for assisting on Monday last, during a gale of wind, in
bringing a distressed fiat and her crew to a place of
safety. The silver medal of the institution was ordered
to be presented to Thomas Baker, coastguard boatman,
and the thanks of the society inscribed on vellum to his
boat's crew of six men, in addition to a large pecuniary
reward which they had received locally in testimony of
their gallant services in rescuing four out of six of the
crew of the schooner Sentinel, of Carnarvon, which was
some time since wrecked on the bank of the Isle of
Wight. The institution also presented its thanks
inscribed on vellum to the Rev. J. Pellew Gaze, in
ackowledgment of his intrepid services in wading into
the surf to assist in launching the boat. Mr. Gaze had
subsequently laudably exerted himself in forming two
life-boat stations on the south coast of the island.

The institution decided on placing new life-boats at
New Quay in Cornwall, and at Tyrella in Dundrum
Bay. A benevolent lady had decided on presenting to
the society the cost (X 380) of both boats. Life-boats
were also ordered to be stationed at Banff on the north-
east coast of Scotland, and at Kingsgate near Margate.
The cost of these boats had also been generously pre-
sented to the society. It was reported that the institu-
tion has now under its charge 99 life-boats—the largest
life-saving fleet the world has ever yet seen under the
management of a philanthropic institution. Some of
these boats were instrumental last year in saving 218 of
our fellow-creatures from a watery grave. It rests now
entirely with the British public to say by their contribu-
tions whether this large fleet for succouring suffering hutna.
nity in its most helpless form shall be maintained hereafter
in a perfect state of efficiency. The Royal Mersey
Yacht Club presented to the institution a liberal con-
tribution of £75, being the proceeds of a hall given by
the club at Liverpool in aid of the funds of the Life-boat
Society. A letter was read from Mr. Lewis Ricardo,
M.P., forwarding a liberal donation to the society,
and adding that among the many useful benevolent
institutions in our country he considered the National
Life-boat Institution one of the most important. It was
also reported that Messrs. Forrest, of Limehouse, were
building a large number of life-boats, on the plan of
those adopted by the institution, for the Spanish and
other foreign governments, as well as for Australia and
the Liverpool Dock Trustees. It was reported that
Admiral the Earl of Shrewsbury had been invited tt)
take the chair at the annual meeting of the institnii44
at the London Tavern, on Thursday, the 15th instant.
Payments amounting to £Q27 co 4 'wimp life-boat
establishments having been made, the proceed,4l.44

CArITAL.-The best capital to begin life with is a
capital—wife.
DiFrEnNQE ST!ARICS.—'` Ma, didn't the minister
say, last Sunday, that sparks flew upwards ?" "Yes,
my dear ; but how come you to be thinking of it ?"
" Because, yesterday I saw cousin Sally's spark stagger
along the street and fall downward !"
Ax Ixisx REASON.—An Irishman being asked
whether he did not frequently converse with a friend
Irish, replied—" No, indeed ; Jemmy often speaks-to
me in Irish, but I always answer him in English."
"W hp so ?" " Because yon see, I don't want Jemmy
to know that I understand Irish."

HUMOROUS DUELLING.—Egan was a humorist, and
his duel with Barrett was characteristic. On the com-
batants taking their ground, Barrett, though the chal-
lenger, immediately fired, and missing his antagonist,
walked away, coolly, saying, "Egan, now my honour is
satisfied." The Judge, who was not satisfied, called out,
" Holloa! stop, Roger, until I take a shot at your
honour." Roger returned, and with the same composure
said, " Very well, fire away !" Jack Egan presented and
seemed by his motions determined to finish Roger. 44
length he cried out, " Pho, pho ; I won't lintrionr you.
won't be botheTed slacotingimi, -§q yq1!.14,7. go tq tl4@

lite best." The finale may lie anticipated.
A FITE Risy.--It was stated in the public
papers that on the curtain being drawn up at Sadler's
Well's the clergymen appeared in a garden scene ; the
boxes were filled with ladies and gentlemen in white
kid gloves, just as at an ordinary theatrical performance;
and during the delivery of the sermon cheers were heard
from the gallery, while oranges and ginger beer bottles
were going their ordinary rounds. At the Victoria,
Theatre placards were put up, announcing that refresh-
ments were provided, and the noise from corks flying
about and the sale of apples and provisions was such
that the clergyman had to pause, and take a show of
hands whether the audience wished to hear him, or to
allow these things to proceed.— Viscount Dungannon.
