ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITOTION.

A meeting of this•instituti on elm held y-eeterday
et ite houe, John-cheat, Adelphi; 'NOMA/ cluattAm.Eaq..
P.R.B. in the chair. There were also t Sir Edward
10. L. Parrott, Bart. ; Capt. Ryder, FL N. ; Alexander Bode-
four, Esq., Captain De tit Croix, and Main J. R. Ward,
I inspector of lifeboat' to the institution.
Hr. Lewis, the secretary, read the minutes of the previ-
ous meeting.
A report was read from Captain Slew, the harbour-
master at Ramage* staimg that the Northumberland prize
lifeboat had on the night of the 24th ultimo, in conjunction
with the oommiasioners' steam tug, been netnimental In
saving, doing • heavy gale and Lembo sea, the crew of eine
nee from the barque land& of Whitby, which had foundered
on the Goodwin nods, on that tempeeteoes
night. in the performance of this service dos
of the crew of the lifeboat, named Henry
Venion, was by a heavy ma completely washed out of her ;
bat by 'God's mercy he was oared. It was put 3 o'clock in
the morning before the shipwrecked crew were brought into
Ramagate, where, on binding, the master of the Linda e:-
premed • strong conviction that his ship would prole*
Mad off the Goodwin. This was • most providential later-
position as the sequel will show. The lifeboat with her
pliant crew again proceeded, in lees than an hour, fn cora-
panymith the steamer, towards the fatal Goodwill. Oa
their arrival they found the Linda full of water and rapidly
breaking up ; but on looking over the sands at the dawn of
day they MR a huge ship with her three masts gone, the
sea making • oomplete breach over her, sad her
namereas mew holding on for their lives. Not
• moment was now to be lost. But bow wag
the lifeboat to get through exisertaa broken went The
mew and lifeboat most bein this put venture.
The amble cleft like a thing o ultimately succeeds in
appeasing the wreck, from which, one by one, thalami
poor Meanies are rescued from inevitable death. The weed
peered to be the barque Ariel, of Gotwuburg, with a cargo
of deals, to Marseilles. Such is the character of the last
acne maybe performed by the Ramagate lifeboat, which is
ea the principle as the lifeboat' of the National Life-
buat•l ltetton. She will self right if upset ; will readily
NV else* say *as she may ship, as was too often proved
(bides tits Pony night and morming in question. The cox..
wan et the lifeboat, on landing at Ramagate, said he was
amide that MIS cif her planking bad been shaken, owing to
the heavy thumping the boat het received whilst crossing
the men j.bet Ipso eiandration it was found that she had
summated so injury. She belongs to the Royal Harbour
Commiegionem of Ramp* and has during the last seven
or eight Pere banainelsemental in rescuing 110 shipwrecked
sailors frees • rester, poem The mew will be rewarded by
the commissioners, is addition to receiving salvage, for their
intrepid and important revises.
A reward of 41. was voted to the crew of the Dundalk '
lifeboat for pulling off sad rendering important services
to the fishing smack John Jenne, of the isle of Man, which,
in • heavy sea and thick fog, led stranded on Dundalk Bar,
as the 18th ult. The lifeboat had put two of her crew on
board the Teem!, and they with the smack's crew ulti- '
niately sucoeeded in beating her out of the bay, and in
Parting her for her destination. Had not the lifeboat's
services been very prompt, the smack, which was thump-
in,/ heavily, and rapidly maim water, would probably have
quickly gone to pieces. The lifeboat was reported to have
behaved very wall on the occasion.
A reward of 161. was also voted to the crew of the lugger
Diana, of Deal, and the silver medal of the institution to
Thomas Trott, one of her met, for their gallant and prompt
services in putting off and saving at considerable rink of life
the crew of ten men of the Norwegian brig Poseidon, which,
during a heavy gale of wind, hail sunk on the Goodwin
Sends very early on the morning of the 25th ult. As the
vessel was beating over the sands great difficulty was rape.
rimmed in boerding her. The lugger's crew, however, suc-
ceeded at last in reaching her just as she was drifting off
the sands, where she immediately sank. The rigadng of the
ship haring got foul of the lugger's mast must have caused
the upsetting of the latter had not Thomas Trod instan-
taneously jumped on board the wreck and eat away the
gear. The ledger, which sasteined considerable
drove into Ramagate about noon. when the ten ship=
men with their faithful dog, were landed amidst the cheers
of hundreds of persona, who crowded the pier.
A reward of 141. was likewise given to the crow of •
Pakeheld yawl for paten off recently in the night and
rescuing, at much risk of life, and after repeated attempts,
the crew of the schooner Adam Young, of North Shields,
which, during a strong gale of wind and thick wea-
ther, with rain, had recently sunk on the Holm Sand,
ow the Suffolk coast. In proceeding to the vessel's suet,
saes the yawl was compelled to emu the Newoome
and Holm Sands through • heavy surf, it blowing very hard
at the time, with heavy squalls. On reach*, the vessel
the yawl's crew found it impossible to board her, is mer
q_llllooll d the heavy sea that wee breaking over the made.
They were therefore obliged to let go an anchor outside of
bee, with a spring on the cable, to sheer down to her. They
maw that the vessel's boat bad been knocked to pieosa, cad
that she herself was rapidly oinking. After several attempts
• carmiunication was effected between the yawl and the
vessel, and by meths of • warp the yawl war brought under
the jibbooni of the ship, from which her crew of four men
were taken by means of another line, one by one, into the
yawl After again crossing the Newcocme node the poor
shipwrecked men were safely landed, at two o'clock in the
morning, in Lowestoft luirbour.
Various other rewards were also voted for saving life from
wrecks.

It will thus be seen that, even during the heavy plea of
the Lest few weeks, about 40 of our fellow-creatures have
been literally snatched by lifeboats and shoreboata from an
appalling death by shipwrecks. It is impossible to over-
estimate the value of such ',mime as these, but they are
properly appreciated by the poor men themselves sod by
Tray who, in the absence of thee, brave services, would to-
day be widows and orphans.
Oornmunications were received from the Governors of the
Owe of Good Hope and Ceylon, stating that their Ex-
cellencies had given directions for the circulation, as
widely as possible throughout the colonies, of the In-
stitution's Instructions for the Restoration of the Ap-
parently Drowned.
It was saidtbat the institution winnow taking 'erne active
measures to supply ita lifeboat stations on the coast with ex.
cellent barometers for the use of seafaring people of those
localities. A gentleman had kindly promised to defray the
oust of the barometer for Tenby, and a neat stone pillar in
which it was to be kept. We trust many persons will be
found to follow this laudable example, for it is hardly pos-
sible to calculate the benefit that is likely to arise feint the
use of agood barometer at many fishing stations. It is not
long since that oue of such places on the cost of Scotland
wu provided with a barometer by the Board of Trade. The
fishermen observed the great fall of the mercury dazing the
night, and therefore refrained from going to sea. The
neighbouring fishing village was not so fortunate as to pos-
sess a barometer. The poor men went to sea. They were
overtaken by a fearful storm, and nearly every one of them
perished in the course of the day and night that followed.
A lady reddest in Bideford had forwarded to the insti-
tution a very liberal contribution of 871. towards the pur-
chase of a lifeboat, being the pomeds of her owne poemsai on
"The Lifeboat" and "The Wreck of the Royal
During the past month the society had forwarded life-
, boats to Newquay, in Cornwall ; Banff and North Berwick,
Scotland ; Tyrella, fin Dundrum-hay ; and Newbiggin, in
Northumberland ; the last named to replace a lifeboat
which had become unfit for service.
The committee expressed their sympathy with the family
at the late Mr. Herbert .pain, M.P., proprietor of the
Illustrated London News. Ha was a warm friend of the
lifeboat came, to which he had for many years past ren-
dered important service through the medium of his well-

aliii ah coast is his native county, Lincoln. We should be
to see on it a lifeboat, to be called the " Herbert
," in memory of one of the must industrious and
generous men of the county.
It was stated that the institution had expended during
the present year upwards of 7,5001. on new lifeboat esti".
blishotenta, and the maintenance of its previovaly formed
steams in a state of efficiency. A. the demands on its
Bluffed funds continue to be unusually heavy, the support

On Wednesday morning Scotland and the north

DLSTRIBUTION OF PRIEM.
A meeting of members of this inditutien and
their friends was held at the institution yesterday evening,
for the purpose of witnessing the distribution of prizes to
suck numbers ea had distinguished themselves at the last
examination of the Society of Arts, as also to those who
bed been selected by the local board. The chair was
illaten,by
Hazer Capons, Req., who having congratulated the
institution on the macaw of so many of its members at the
Society of Arts' examination, proceeded to make a few ge-
neral observations ea the question of education. He re-
membered, he said, 26 years since, when be attempted to
establish a literary and scientific institution in a metropo-
litaa district, and when he was met by the rector of the
parish with the assertion that such establishments were no-
thing but so many inventions of the deeiL (Latighter.)
He (Mr. Cheater) was, however, now happy to say thee
that institution had thriven, and that its present
remit active promoter Wu the successor of that very
en. (Cheers.) The fact cl was that in no part of the
e:ferhad education buds dining the last quarter of a cen-
tury such vast strides as in England ; but its promoters
found by experience that it would be hut .in imperfect
movement if elementary education alone was attended to.
(Hear. beer.) Children were Mel Old into the world at such
an tarty age in Eogland, that unless soinethiug were dotio
for the adults the cause of education could never be carried
to complete succor. Even in the higher classes the
ululation of the schools would be very incomplete were it
Dot for the subsequent training of the uaiversities. Keep-
ing this *t in views the fismaety, of Arts hail pstabbsited

tuitions, and of which, since 054 163 .had bee& . held in
*minus page of the Voiced Iffiesdern, the tootles of Which
were on the whole moat satisfactory. The certificates wets
not given on the principle of competition, but on that of
absolute merit. 100 mull took the first prise, 75 the
second, 60 the • third, and those who got less than
30 were entitled to the honour of a pluck. (A laugh.)
After some further explanation of the details of the exami-
nations, and an eloquent tribute to the Neraraims which the
London Mechanics' Institution had rendered to the cause of
Ada:alien Mr. Cheater stated that • member of the insti-
tution, Mr.i William Scott. of the Intend Revenue, had ob-
tained the first prize in chenuatry and the nomad in mag-
netism, egainst all the candidates of the United Kingdom.
Mr. F. J. W. Moore hail IMOD similarly fortunate in book-
keeping. He (Mr. Chester), returning to the geneni ques-
tion, deprecated the too great tendency of &minimum, to.
wards centralization in the matter of education. He be.
lined that the Committee of Privy Council had done great
service to the cause on its first establishment, but now the
people could go alone, and he thought that me a rule uothing
should be done for them which they were able to do fur
themselves. Amongst other things to whicb the Society of
Arta had recently directed its attention was the
education of females, which all would admit had
recently been very much improved, but which
was still capable of much further development. (Hear,
bear.) Many of the subjects for the society's prizes, such as
French, German, Aux, were peculiarly adapted for females ;
but in addition, they proposed this year to offer • prize for
domestic economy. (Hear, hear.) The examiner would be
the Dean of Hereford, and his questions would be directed
to the buying of provisions and dress, the nursing of the
sick, and other matters which were most valuable in the
domestic circle. In this important breech the society
hoped for the efficient assistance of the Loudon Mechanics'
Institution. He would now give way to Mr. Reed, who,
previous to the distribution of the prices, had • few words
to say.
Mr. REID (lion. secretary), on the part of the institution,
thanked the chairman for his attendance, and proceeded to
state what had bees done by the institution in co-uperation
with the Society of Arta In 1858 the local board sent up
12 members, of whom 8 were successful in obtaining certi.
Beats. In 1850 11 passed the local board, of whom 9 ob-
tained certificates ; and in 1880, out of 15 candidates
sent up, six obtained first-class, six second-class, and three,
third-class certificates. The candidates of the London
Mechanics' Institution had in addition to the above certifi.
eaten, obtained prime to the amount of 221. in money.
Mr. Reed, in conclusion, explained the mode in which the
keel bond of the institution distributed ita book prism,
and earnestly called on the members to strengthen their
hands for so good a work by coming forward liberally with
their subscriptions.
The CHAIRMAN proceeded to distribute the certificates
end grim, secording to the fcllowing list :—Mr. Norris,
mooed data, arithmetic ; Mr. Aumonier, -brood class,
arithmetic • Mr. Revenscroft, second class, arithmetic • Mr.

On the termination of the distribution of prizes the
Chaiiman called upon persons present who might wish to
Wives the meeting, and
Mr.. Ghtithe (of the tins of Jackass and Graham, and •
member of the council of the Society9f Arts) offered his
strong testimony in favour of establishments like the
London Mechanics' Institution, as affording means of educe-
ties for these whose training had in childhood been neg-
lected. Al an instance of these advantages he mentioned
the ease of an individual in his own establishment, who
having emus in first as an mead boy, was recommended by
him (Mr. Graham), who noticed his seal and intelligence, td
enter himself a member. The boy did so in an institution
in Leicester-square, and that boy was now PM of his head
men, with • salary of 4001. a-year. (Cheers.) Of course
suck prizes did not drop every day, but there was no man
who would not find his bands strengthened for any sort of
work by the cultivation of his mental faculties. (Hear.)
The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE.

The monthly meeting of the members of thin
association was held at Andertan's Hotel, Fleet-street, last
evening, the special object Ong to consider the subject of
the ensuing winter's agitation. Mr. Joan KENNY was called
to the chair. The Secretary read the quarterly report,
which shawl that the Crystal Palace share clubs, by mune
of which working men can obtain Crystal Palace shares,
have been very sucoetudul, about 600 shares having been
purchased by working men and their wives, principally fur
the purpose of visiting the palace on Sunday.. On Sunday.
the rdril Septimber, the members of these clubs were per-
mitted to invite their friends to the Crystal Palace, admis-
sion free, and 1,800 shareholders and their friends availed
themselves of the privilege. In the absence of any motion on
the subject in parliament last session, but few petitions bad
been presented either for or against the opening of the
British Museum and other kindred insti tutious ou Sundays,
the number of signatures to those presented being 3,236 for,
and 1,120 against. A memorial had been presented to her
Majesty containing the sit:UM:es of 943 gentlemen con-
nected with science, literature, and the tine arts, praying
for the opening of these innitutions on butidays, and
a counter memorial, signed by Mr. W. Maxwell, on behalf
tithe Lord's-day Observance Society, had also llees presented.
On the subject of Sunday music the report stated that in
consequence of the wet season the hands in the Regent's
and Victoria Parks had not been able to play on the usual
number of Sundays. From the same cause they hal not
been selfaupporting. Several gentlemen, however, had
subscribed, and thus enabled the committee to conclude the
season with a balance of IW. For the first time since the
establishment of the Sunday bands in the Regent's and Vic.
tees Parks preaching had been permitted and attempts
nods to disturb the bands. These attempts had not been
aateassfed, and a fifth season had thus termuiated without a
sigh complaint of violence or disorder. Several gentlemen
in various parts of the country had opened their parks,
gardens, or pleasure grounds oa Sunday afternoons. In con.
olnsioa, the committee congratulated the association on their
having been able to maintain the Sunday bands, defeated
the attempt to clove the Crystal Palma on Sundays to
sharehoidses, removed a considerable amount of prejudice
from the public mind, and silenced their oppinents, who
would not cell an open public meeting on the subject. The
= eur adopted unanimously, and the meeting wan
by Mr. Kent, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Kcele, and Mr.
J. Lembeco, and a resolution, approving of the principles
of the League, was carried, as was also another resolution
enjoining local agitation during the winter, and that the
fesnintion of additional clubs for purchasing Crystal Palms
Auto should be 'mourned.
