Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held
at its house, John•street, Adelphi, Sir Edward Per-
rott, Bart., V.P., in the chair. There were also
present—Admiral Sir George Sartorius,Mr. W. 11.
Harton, Admiral Gordon, Colonel Palmer, high
sheriff of Essex; Admiral W. H. Hall, F.R.S.,
Captain de St. Croix, and Captain Ward, R.N., in-
spector of lifeboats to the institution.
_ .

A reward of £4 lo& was voted to the crew of the
Aberdovey lifeboat of the institution, for putting
off and rescuing six of the crew of the barque Wil-
liam Bromham, of Gloucester, which during stormy
weather had stranded oc Aberdovey Bar on the 15th
ult. A reward of £7 was also granted to the crew
of the Newhaven lifeboat, the Thomas Chapman,
belonging to the society, for saving the clew of five
men of the schooner Cestrian, of Chester, which had
grounded on the bar off Newhaven harbour in a
gale of wind and heavy sea on the 31st ult. The
lifeboat and her crew were reported to have be-
haved admirably on the occasion. A reward of £7
was voted to the crew of the society's lifeboat at
Bride Haven, for putting off through a high surf
and rendering important services to the ship Con-
flict, of Plymouth, which was in distress during a
gale of wind off TrevoseHead, on the Cornish coast,
on the 30th ult. A reward of £4 was likewise voted
to the crew of the society's lifeboat stationed at the
Lizard (Cornwall), for going off, in reply to
signals of distress, to the rescue of the crew
of a sloop which was observed in a dismasted
state under the Black Head, off Cadiwith,
during a strong easterly gale. The lifeboat was
launched without delay, and proceeded to the vessel
aginst a head wind and strong tide. In the mean-
time the sloop had been boarded by the crews of
two pilot-boats, who afterwards stood out to sea
with the wreck in tow, and subsequently reached
Falmouth harbour in safety. A reward of £7 108.
was also voted to the crew of the Weimer lifeboat,
of the institution, for going off with the view of
saving the crew of the ship Canvas-back of London,
which had stranded during blowing weather on the
Goodwin Sands on the 18th ult. The lifeboat re-
mained alongside some time, when, the weather
having moderated, the vessel was got off by a
steamtug and some Deal boatmen. The lifeboat
was reported to have behaved remarkably well
on the occasion. A reward of £5 was also granted
to seven men for putting off in a coastguard boat
and saving, at some risk of life, six soldiers from
Hurst Castle garrison boat, which was swamped
off the Isle of Wight on the 11th ult. in a heavy
sea. Two men had perished before the arrival of
the coastguard-boat. A reward of .£1 was likewise
given to a lad, 14 years of age, named Dennis Clif-
ford, of Cahirciveen, county Kerry, in admira-
tion of his gallant conduct in plunging into the
sea, and saving at the risk of his life a man, who,
while bathing near that place, had got his hands
entangled in some seaweed, and after struggling
to get free had sunk quite exhausted. The lad, who
had been attracted to the spot by the-screams of two
women who had observed the drowning man, at
once dived in, and succeed in bringing his body,
apparently lifeless, to the shore. After some time,
hoivever, he happily recovered. There were no
means of assistance at hand, and a moment's
longer immersion must have proved fatal to the
poor man, whose hands when he was brought on
shore were still entangled in the seaweed. Various
other rewards were also granted to the crews of
shore-boats for saving life on the coast. It was re-
ported that the institution had during the past
month received a legacy of £2OO from the late Mr.
William Currie, banker, of Cornhill, and one of
£lB9 from the late Mr. John Jolly, farmer, of Eu-
stone, Oxford ; and that £5O had also been received
by the society from the relatives of the late Mrs.
Thornton. The institution had just sent large life-
boats to Hastings, and to Blakeney, on the Norfolk
coast, in lieu of the former boats at those places,
which were deemed too small for the localities. Mr.
Morrell, a member of the Society of Friends, and
residing at Matlock, in Derbyshire, is making
strenuous exertions to raise the cost of lifeboats
from persons having the same surname. Captain
Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the society,
was directed to proceed on a tour of inspection of
its lifeboats on the north-east coast of England. A
report was read from Captain David Robertson, the
assistant-inspector of lifeboats to the institution, on
his recent visit to its lifeboats on the coasts of Lan-
cashire, the Isle of Man, and Scotland. He found
them all in an efficient state. The operations of
the institution extend over the whole coasts of the
British isles, and by its system of rewards it encou-
rages every means, either by lifeboats or otherwise,
to save life from shipwreck. Thus about £1,300 a
year are granted by it, as rewards for saving life
from wracks, besides a considerable number of
silver medals, votes on vellum, &c. Payments
were ordered to be made on various lifeboat esta-
blishments, and the proceedings terminated.
