THE SUN, LONDON,. FRIDAY EVENING, 3 UNE 3, 1864.

Royal National Lifeboat Institution,

Yesterday a meeting of this Institution was held at its
house, John-street, Adelphi, Thomas Chapman, Esq ,
F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were also present—Sir
Edward P( rrott, Bart. ; George Lyall, Esq., M.P. ; Admiral
W. H. Hall, C. 8., F.R.S.; W. H. Harton, Esq. ; John
Griffith, Esq. ; Admiral Bullock Montague Gore, Esq. ;
and Richard Lewis, E-q., the secretary.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a
reward of £5 108 was voted to the crew of .the institution's
lifeboat at Drogheda, for putting off and saving the crew of
three men, from the schooner Maria, of Milford, which was
wrecked on Drogheda Bar, on the 9th ult. There was a
strong gale of wind blowing at the time, with a heavy sea on
the bar, but the lifeboat soon reached the vessel, and suc-
ceeded in taking off the crew, which was hardly accom-
plished before the schooner fell over on her beam-enis and
became a total wreck. This valuable lifeboat has, during
the last two years, been instrumental in saving sixteen per-
sons from different wrecks.

A reward was also granted to the crew of a fishing boat
for rescuing, at some risk of life, six persons from another
boat, which was capsized in a heavy ground swell, near
Castletown, Berehaven, count Cork, on the Bth of Aprillast, The boat was laden. with seaweed, and was proceed-
ing to the shore, when a heavy sea struck her and she y
im-
mediately went down, leaving the crew of five men and a
woman in the water, struggling for their lives. The salvors
hastened to their assistance, and were, fortunately, the
means of rescuing them from perishing.
A reward was also voted to a boatman named P. Connor,
of Cahirciveen, county Kerry, for plupgin7
the 7th ult. The lad was quite insensible when brought
ashore, and would no doubt have perished but for the intre-
pidity of Connor. He had previously s into the sea and
saving a lad who had fallen off the quay at that place on
saved life in a simi-
lar manner.

A reward of £2 103 was also granted to the crew of a
fishing coble for putting off and rercuing the crew of four
men of another boat, whioh was capsized some time since in
a heavy sea off Cullercoats, The salvors had just r eturned
from fishing, and, seeing the other boat capsize, they again
launched their boat and proceeded to the rescue of their
fellow fishermen, who were clinging to the mast, oars, &c.,
of the sunken boat.

It was reported that benevolent persons had presented the
institution with the cost of the new lifeboats to be stationed
at New Brighton, near Livet pool ; Donna Nook, on the coast
of Lincolnshire ; Tramore, near Watorford ; Poole, Dorset ;
and Sennen Cove, Land's End.
The important new instructions of the Institution for the
Restoration of the Apparently Dead from Drowning had
been most extensively circulated by the society throughout
the United Kingdom. They had also been forwarded to our
colonial governors, and to the ambassadors at the English
Court. The latter had expressed their high appreciation of
the same.

A communication was read from the French Minister of
Marine acknowledging, with thanks, some drawings and
various papers, forwarded by the institution, relative to ships'
lifeboats.

Tho late GL Wheelhouse, Eeq•, of Deptford-bridge, had
left the institution a legacy of £250.
The South Holland Shipwreck Association had requested
the society to order for them a new lifeboat, a transporting
carriage, and equipment complete. Some fearful shipwrecks
had occurred on that coast during the past winter, with the
loss of 500 or 600 lives.

The institution had lifeboats ready to be sent to Padstow,
Cornwall; Redcar, Yorkshire; and Teignmouth, Devon-
shire.

Payments amounting to £3OO having been trade on vari-
ous lifeboat establishments, the proceedings terminated.

THE JEWS IN MOROCCO,

Sir Moses l'ilontefiore has addressed the following
letter to the illustrious Oozier Sid Taib El Yaminy,
Minister of State, Morocco :
Grosvenor-gate, Park-lane, London, June 1.
_ _

May it please your Excellency,—My heart is deeply im-
pressed with thankfulness to your excellency for the kind
letter which your excellency has so courteously transmitted
to me in reply to that which I had the honour to address to
your excellency on the 23d of February last.
Since my return to Europe I had the honour, while at
Madrid, to place in the hands of her Catholic Majesty the
Queen of Spain a copy of the Imperial edict of your august
Sovereign,with a translation in the Spanish language ; and,
while at Paris, to place in the hands_of his Imperial Majesty
the Emperor of the French a like copy, with a translation
in the French language. Also, on my arrival in London, I
had tho gratification to present to the Government of my
beloved Sovereign a like copy, with an English translation.
The Imperial edict of his Sheriffian Majesty has obtained
a world wide celebrity, and has everywhere received the
eulogies to which it is so eminently entitled.
The friends of humanity and civilisation throughout the
world entertain the earnest hope and belief that your gra .
cious Sovereign and that you, illustrious Sir, will cause that
edict to be known and respected by all the governors and
officials in the Empire of Morocco.
There is too much reason to fear that there exist a dispo-
sition on the part of some of these governors and officials
to ignore or disregard the benign commands of the Sultan,
and that they are acting in direct contravention of his
Sheriffian Majesty's high and exalted intentions that his
Jewish, and other non-Mahornedan subjects shall be per-
mitted to enjoy the benefits so humanely secured to them
by his Skeriffian Majesty's glorious edict.
These are iudeed sad tidings. 0, let not these oppressors
be allowed to persevere in their wrongdoing I I intreat the
immediate and effectual interposition of his Sheriffian Ma-
jesty and of your Excellency. The Imperial edict went
forth as a beam of light to
co-religionitts in Morocco ;
suffer not, I implore, its brightness to be dimmed, its efful-
gence to be extinguished, It imparts joy and promise; per-
mit not that joy to be destroyed, that promise to remain
unfruitful.

Hundreds of thousands of human beings in Morocco raise
their voices in praise and thankfulness to God for the benign
desire of his Sheridan Majesty and of your Excellency to
ameliorate their condition and to remove from them oppres-
sion and suffering. Let it not ba that their fond hopes are
a vain shadow, that their cheering anticipations of a brighter
future are a delusive dream.

How great and how sacred are the prerogatives of majesty I
It directs its people's welfare, and their paths are bedecked
with flowers ; it forbears to punish the oppressors, and their
path is beset with thorns.
I know full well and have personally experienced the
kindness of your august Sovereign and of your Excellency,
and therefore I rely with firm faith on the generous promises
which I have received that the
Imperial edict should be
promulgated throughout the Moorish Empire and its pro
visions strictly enforced.

words, spoken in the fulness of my
heart, and with the most
truthful earnestness.

Deign
Sovereign, to
and on
to y
receive with favour ray best wishes for
his and your health and welfare, and for the prosperity of

that it is not high art, but it is art ; and to be
intelligible is something in these days of a3esthetic exalta-

recognise truth when it is brought before us. 'We know
what hard work means, and we have some notion of the
value of finish. The subjects, too, of those old Dutch
masters are simple and homely. They ask nothing from
us in the way of classical or historical knowledge. They
seldom go beyond a figure or two, or depict other than the
commonest incidents of domestic life--such as a girl lean-
ing out of a window, or a couple 0 f boors hobnobbing
across a table, or an old woman cutting cabbages at her
cottage door. But then the girl's elbows are buried
in a wondrous piece of Turkish carpet, so rich and real that
one is almost tempted to take up the other end, and help
her •to shake it; or the Rhenish glows like liquid topaz
through the cool green of the bell-shaped German glasses;
or that old battered brass pan into which the cabbage is
about to be thrown catches a dazzling gleam of sunshine
along the outer line which throws every adjacent picture
into shadow, and almost makes our eyes ache as we look
upon it. Be it high, or be it low, we repeat that this is a
pleasant kind of art; and the best proof that its pleasant-
ness has something real and satisfactory is to be found in
the fact that the world has liked it for the last two 111=-
