SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN AND MARINERS' ROYAL
Banavoinirr floctErY.—Yesterday a special general meet-
ing of the subscribers to this institution took place at the
Bridge House Hotel, London-bridge, in accordance with the
provisions of the act of incorporation, for the purpose of
considerieg certain regulations of the board of directors,
having for their object the establishment of a system of life
boats along the costa of the United Kingdom. Tile Hon.
Captain Maud presided; and, in opening the proceedinge,
observed that this was the first meeting they had held since
the society had been incorporated. When they reflected
upon the rise and progress of this institution, he thought
they had great reason to be thankful for the support they
had received, and the good they had been able to bestow.
When they commenced their operations they had nothing
to depend upon but the philanthropy and benevolence
of the public ; end their efforts had been so tar suthessful,
that they had distributed thousands to shinwrecken fishermen
and mariners, and their widows and orphans. But, in addi-
tion to the benefits they bad c inferred in relieving suffering,
they had done great service is checking those impositiins
which were often premised upon the public by people who
represented themselves as having been " shipwrecked." The
prevent meeting had been called for the purpose of taking
the first public step towards carrying out an important object
contemplated in their set of incorporation.—Mr. F. Lean,
the secretary, then read an address from the committee of
management, stating that there were 100 stations at which
no life boats were required, 60 others without them (althi.uch
they were much needed), and 44 where they were already
established; but many of these were inefficient, either from
being out of repair, or from not being properly manned. The
committee were of opinion that the two objects now contem-
plated—six., the seeking to preserve life from shipwreck and
relieving the widow and orphan in case of failure—might be
happily associated under the auspices of an institution which
relieved annually no less than 4,000 shipwrecked p runs.—
Mr. Millsr4 proposed a resolution to the effect that the
meeting approved of the organisation of a system of life boats
along the COliti of the United Kingdom, as suggested by the
committee of management, and authorised an outlay not
*sending (tot:cameo*" with) I,OOOL for that purpose. Mr.
John Gilmore, shipowner, seconded the resolution, and
stated that the system of life-bourn would lose its efficiency if
it were not accompanied by an organised plan for moaning
the boats. The object might be accomplished by a fund,
arising out of a subscription of 2d. a month from
the seamen, and a small tonnage from foreign ships.
The chairman stated that the question as to manning
the boats was fully before the board and care would
be taken that responsible persons should be employed for
the purpose. The chairman then read a letter from Sir
George Cockburn, the president of the institution, expres-
sing his approval of the plan proposed, and peonsisine a
donation of 101. towards the establishment of the Irate. The
resolution was then put and carried. Mr. Millard then
=eyed that this meeting having approved of the establish-
ment of a system of life boats, it be referred to the com-
mittee of management to carry the object into effect, as the
beet means of averting such melancholy accidents as had
recently occurred on the coast of Ragland. The motion was
susonded by Captain Whish, and wee carrifd unanimously.
It was then agreed that the foregoing resolutions should be
advertised in the morning papers; and thanks having been
poised to the chairman, the meeting separated.
PROLONGATION OF PALL-MALL TO PELF:WI-CM-
oeurr.—l am glad to see you keep the attention of the autho-
rities to the expediency of extending the line of Pall-mall
westwards, and hail, as a most valuable suoiestion, the
recommendation contained in your last number, that it
should be continued across the north-west angle of Bucking-
ham Palau gardens into Belgrave-reare I Presages
through Chapel-street. My object in addismiag you is to
point out the vast importance et the still further extension
of this great arterial avenue across filousostreet into the
Pullsancroad, at or about the angle which it makes near the
casters corner of Pelham-ereso. nt. The Knthtebridge-
rondhas become thadequats to convey the great stream of
traffic which pouts to and fro between the City and the popu-
lous and daily increasing districts of Brompton, Chelsea, and
Fathom. Moreover, It is a great and cruel waste of time
and labour, both human and equine, to force all pauengers
between these points to take the roundabout, angular, and
hilly route from Waterloo-place up to Piccadilly, and down
sgali from Hyde-park corner to the lower southern localities,
when a nearly straight, level, broad, end snagnifloent tho-
roliblare, saving nearly sic-third of the distance, might be
las will eonewneted along the line I speak of, by continuing
Pall- mall to Pelham-orreeent. But it this be ever done (end
some time or other It will be found absolutely amsessery),
not • day ._Reeled be but la setting about it.—Correaposulate
