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 Perrott, Bart. ; George Lyall, Esq., M.P. ;
Admiral
W. H. Hall, C. 8., F.R.S.; W. H. Harton, Eeq.; John
Griffith, Esq. ; Admiral Bullock , Montague Gore, Esq. ;
and Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a
reward of £5 103 was voted to the crew of the institution's
lifeboat at Drogheda, for putting off
three men, from the schooner Maria, of Milford, which was
wrecked on Drogheda B on the 9th ult. There was a
and saving the crew of
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, county
last. The boat was laden with seaweed, and was proceed-
ing to the shore, when a heavy sea struck her and she im-
mediately Cork, on the Bth of April
went down, leaving the crew of fire 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 plunging g g into the sea and
saving a lad who had fallen off the quay at that place on
ashore, and would no doubt have perished but kr the intre-
pidity of Connor. He had previously the 7th ult. The lad was quite insensible when brought
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, which was capsized some time since in
a heavy sea off Cullercoats. The salvors had just returned
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 Waterford ; 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. _ _

The late G, Wheelhouse, Esq of Deptford-bridge, had
left the institution a legs:3y of £250.
The South Holland Shipwreck Association had requested
the society to order for them a new lifeboat, a transpox ting
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 Padstew,
Cornwall; Redcar, Yorkshire; and Teignmouth, Devon-
shire.

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

THE JEWS IN MOROCCO,

Sir Moses Montefiore 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. Alro, on my arrival in London, I
had the gratification to present to the Government of my
beloved Sovereign alike 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, illut•ttious 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
glorious edict.
These are indeed sad tidings. 0, let not these oppressors
tboethpeemr-
be allowed to persevere in their wrongdoing! 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 my co-religions- is 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 Sheriffian Majesty and of your Excellency to
ameliorate their condition and to remove from them oppres-
sion and suffering. Let it not be 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.

A DUTCH PAINTING, says a Saturday Reviewer,
is a pleasant thing to look upon, after
all, let the
author of .Modern Pointers say what he will. We admit
that it is not high art, but it is intelligible art; and to be
intelligible is something in these days of Deesthetic exalta-
tion. We cannot all be expected to enter with enthusiasm 1
into the theory of coloured shadows, or to appreciate the
gradations of sarial perspective ; but we are all, to a certain
extent, qualified judges of a Mieris or a Gerard Dow. We
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 tho 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 of boors hobnobbing
across a table, or an old woman cutting cabbages at her
cottage door. But diet 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 boll-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 hun-
dred and thirty years, and shows no sign of change.

Yesterday was what may be called " speech day" at this
now fast rising collegiate institution, when the usual classic
and dramatic orations were delivered, and the 'prizes to the
successful students at the Upper School publicly awarded.
Dulwich College, though founded in 1629, dates its real
career of usefulness as a leading :educational institution
from a very recent period indeed, and, in fact, it is only
since its reconstitution under the act of Parliament of 1858
that its resources have been developed in such a way as in
the course of a few years more, under its present excellent
masters, bids fair to place the College on a level in point of
educational efficiency with our best schools. Under its old
charter no provision was made for extending the sphere of
either its charitable or educational value in proportion as
its yearly income grew with the enormously increased ren-
tals derived from the land with which it is endowed. Cer-
tainly, neither the worthy actor who founded it, nor any
one else in his time, or even for a long period after,
could ever have foreseen the future wealth which he
bequeathed in the acres of swampy woodland which he
left to the infant College. Every year now adds
to the value of the land the College holds and the
rents which it derives from it. There is little doubt that in
the course of another century Dulwich College will be very
richly endowed, and with the care which is taken under
the Act of 1858 to keep its educational system expanding in
proportion to its wealth, there seems no reason why, with
its large endowment, it should not attain high eminence as
one of our great collegiate schools. At present the institu-
tion is divided into an Upper and Lower School, the upper
preparing young men for the universities or any of the
learned professions ; in fact, combining the old classical
routine of public schools with an extensive study of the
modern languages, history, and physical sciences. The
Lower School offers a sound commercial education. There
are as many foundationers in the Lower School as the new
governers under the act may appoint, but in the upper there
are only 24. The boys of the Lower School are restricted to
inhabitants of the hamlet of Dulwich, as it is called, and
the four parishes of St. Giles's, Camberwell; St Saviour's,
Southwark; St Luke's, and St Botolph's. The Upper
School will soon be thrown:open to young gentlemen from
all parts of the kingdom. Nearly half the income of the
charity is now absorbed by the pensions granted under the
act to the old officers and others of the school whom the act
superseded, and the remainder is divided into four parts—
three of which are devoted to purposes of education, and one
part to charity, or in other words, to the pensioners whom
the benevolence of the college supports. Under its old char-
ter the pensioners were six men and six women, each of
whom received the munificent allowance of £l5O per annum.
Under the new act the numbers of the pensioners will be
increased, and the amount given diminished to £5O per an-
num, and as the pensioners to the old officers of the college
fall in, they will of course be added to its annual income.
By the terms of the new act the college is not allowed to
have any out-pensioners on its funds till it has 24 in-pen-
sioners, and for such a number in the present state of the
college accommodation there is absolutely no room. In
fact, as it is, the building is quite insufficient to meet
the requirements of the Upper or Lower Schools, in the
former of which there are 130 students, in the latter 80.
Tho extension of the building has been urgently needed for
some time, but now we believe plans have been definitely

will be laid next year. It is certainly impossible that the
school can go on much longer within its present confined
limits.

Yesterday the prizes were given, and the speeches made
at the end of the beautiful picture gallery. The Visitor to
the College, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rev. W.
Rogers, Chairman of the Board of Governors; the Rev.
Dr. Carver, Master of the College ; the Rev. W. F. Green-
field, M.A., Master of the Lower School, and a large num-
ber of ladies and gentlemen were present at the distribution.
The prizes, which consisted entirely of books, were given
by the Archbishop, who made a few kind congratulatory
remarks to each recipient. In the classical department,
prizes were given to Mr C. H. Lane, Mr Doble, Mr S. G.
Thomas, Mr Ryrie, Mr G. H. Morgan, Mr C. Gull, Mr S.
Cope, and Mr A. Ogilvie. In the mathematical classes,
prizes were gained by Mr E. M Everett, Mr R. J. Milner,
Mr F. W. R. Denny, Mr Holman, Mr J. G. Dearle, and
Mr F. St. George Rich. In French, prizes were given to
Mr Doble, Mr Roche, Mr Jackson, Mr Nightingale, Mr
11. A. Bone, and Mr S. Cope. Mr Ryrie took the prize for
drawing, Mr F. W. R. Denny for free hand drawing; Mr
Lyne for vocal music and choral singing. Mr C. H. Lane,
Mr A. L. Lane, and Mr C. C. Rich, the prizes for Divinity.
Mr C. E. Doble carried off the prize for composition, and
Mr J. C. M'Donel! and Mr F. S. Phillips, the senior and
junior prizes respectively for writing. These prizes were
given during an interval between the recitations, which
were of the usual character, including scenes from
" Plautus," " Shakspere," " Xechylus," and other dra-
matists. Some of the best scenes from "Much Ado About
Nothing" were given with an amount of comic humotir and
force that were admirable, while from first to last the reci-
tations gave evidence of a care and finish in their delivery
that reflected the highest credit on both students and
teachers.
