THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.

Yesterday the 89th annivTrsary meeting of this society
was held at the Society's rooms, Trafalgar-square.
The meeting was presided over by Earl Pow's, who in
opening the business expressed his gratification at the steady
progress of the society, and the great advantages it had be-
stowed on the community at large.
Mr. LAMBTON T. H. YOUNG, the secretary, then read
the report of the committee for the past Iwo, which stated
that during that period 217 cases of rescuing or attempted
rescue from drowning, comprising 245 persons, was brought
under the notice of the society. Of these 226 had been suc-

He said it bad been always the practice of the society to
allow the landlord of any public house who permitted any
person apparently drowned to be brought into the house for
the purpose of resuscitation the sum of £l, and he consi-
dered it right to state that in May last, a young woman
having been taken to the house of Mr. T. Budgen, of the
Falcon, Dowaate 'Wharf, on the sum stated being, as usual,
sent to him he returned the same as a donation to the
society. He ought also to state, for the benefit of the public,
a singular circumstance which had occurred in connection
with that case. When the young woman was taken to Mr.
Budgen's, apparently lifeless, a sailor, who happened to be
in the house, applied his mouth to hers, and sucked the
water out of her stomach, when animation immediately

returned.
The report and the financial statement having been ae-
cepted, the officers of the society were re-elected, and the
pro
ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair-
man.
