APPEAL.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since
he beginning of the year 1860, the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-cart iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support wbkh
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
or 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whirl' can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so

to contend. But upon other grounds, readily intelligible,
it has been proposed by Russia to make common to the
Russian empire certain parts at least of the constitutional
privileges to be assigned to Poland. The general grant of
constitutions is calculated to arrest the tendency to insur-
rection in other parts of the Czar's dominions. This, how-
ever, is a matter of municipal and not of international con-
cern. The acquieser ce of Russia in the spirit of our terms
must terminate the " Polish question" or at the least post-
pone it for the next six months. But as the Russian Govern-
ment has to deal with domestic dangers which have sur-
vived the importance of her international differences, it

has become matter of grave necessity to satisfy the Poles
themselves, as well as to defer to the contractors of the
Treaty of Vienna. The truth is, that Poland, as a part of
the Russian empire, has added little to its influence, while
she has incessantly added to its external danger. It would
really, therefore, not involve so great a compromise of am •
bition as might at first sight appear, for Russia to acquiesce
in the devolution of the Polish crown on some other head
than that of the Czar; so long as the King of Poland were
a member of the Imperial house. Such a course would in-
deed be more dignified to Russia than the continued spec-
tacle of a Polish revolution, which she cannot put down ;
for it is probable that it would meet with the concur-
rence of the Poles, as carrying with it the greatest measure
of liberty that they could reasonably expect to attain. Much,
of course, would depend on the choice of the prince. The
Duke of Leuchtenberg,wbom the Russian Government were
lately ready to put forward for the throne of Greece, is a
young man of a moderation and intelligence that might
render his name not unpopular among the Poles, and whose
close relationship with the Imperial family would secure the
concurrence of his foreign policy with the interests of
Russia. We are inclined to believe it by no means im-
probable that the Polish revolution may be attempted to be
closed by a concession of the crown to the prince we have
named; and in that event we shall have the prospect of a
compromise which, if brought about in good faith and upon
liberal bases, might possibly prove to be an adjustment of
the difficulties by which the " Polish question " has been
beset.

HEALTH OP LONDON.

(From the Registrar-General's -Weekly Return.)
In the week that ended last Saturday (Sept. d), the deaths
in London exhibited a considerable decrease; they fell to
1,232, which is a lower number than any that has been re

turned since the first week of July.
The chief decrease in the mortality arose from diarrhoea
which fell from ISI to 120; whilst the deaths from small-
pox, scarlatina, diphtheria, whooping-cough, and typhus
were about the same as the previous week. More than one-
half of the mortality during the week occurred to the
younger portion of the population, v,z., to 704, who were
under 20 years of age ; 326 were between 20 and 60, and
201 at 60 years and upwards. A gardener is recorded as
having died at the advanced age of 97 years.
Last week the births of 925 boys and 938 girls, in all 1563
children, were registered in London. In the ten correspond-
ing weeks of the years 1853.62 the average number (cor-
rected was 1,830.
METROPOLITAN WATERS IN AUGUST, 1863.

The domestic waters of London, according to the analyses
of Dr. Robert Dundas Thompson, F.R.S., contain rather
more organic and total impurity than in the preceding
month, the most striking examples being illustrated by the
Kent and Lambeth companies. The Thames water at
London-bridge at high water has been highly charged with
impurities and sea water, three experiments having yielded
a mean of 232.67 deg. of total, and 26'38 deg. per gallon of
organic impurity, while the amount of ammonia from the
sewage was •748 grains per gallon. One of the wells in St.
Mai ylebone contained as much as 212 grains ammonia per
gallon, an evidence of the large admixture of sewage with
which it is contaminated .

of which '605 degrees or grains are of vegetable or animal
origin.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.700 in. The mean
temperature of the air in the week was 57.8 deg., which is
0.9 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as
determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature
occurred on Sunday, and was 72'1 deg. The lowest night
temperature was 45.2 deg. on Tuesday. The range of tem-
perature in the week was therefore 26.9 deg. The mean
daily range was 17.1 deg. The difference between the mean
dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.8 deg.
The mean degree of humidity of the air was 76, complete
saturation being represented by 100. The wind was chiefly
from the south-west, and rain fell hEavily on Friday and
Saturday.

ZOOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION.

At the last sitting of the French Academy of
Sciences M. Chevreul explained his plan for a new
classification of the animal kingdom. His principle
may be briefly stated as follows :—Under the pre-
sent system, in which the physical organisation of
the animal is taken for a guide, it often happens
that its intellectual development is often at va-
riance with its physiological state. Thus, the
Quadrumana precede the Carnivora in the pre-
sent system, the organisation of the former being
superior to that of the latter. Now if we take
the ourang-outang, chimpanzee, and gorilla as
types of the Quadrumana, both their organisation
and intellectual faculties will induce us to place them
immediately after man. But the makis, which are
also quadrumanous, and therefore precede the ear"'
the dog
yore, are far below some of them, such
and phoca, as regards their intellectual
is discre-
obviate the inconvenience resulting fr°
tuaglties. To
pancy between the physical and
es
d intellectual qualities
to classify them
of animals, M. Chevreul priopreesss,
as is now the
by shelves instead of
et7be centre of the upper
case. Let us suppose
man; then, describing
centre, a
shelf to be occupied
bYe, that the ourang-outang,
chimpanzee, and g°
circle from that
rn"iiia, as placed at equal dis-
tu
tances on the cirenferences, and other inferior
of quadrumana further off from the
scentre,pecies
bat on the same shelf. Now let the
lower shelf be devoted to the carnivore, and let
the centrebe occupied by the best species, viz
the dog, phoca, bear, and cat; then the inferior
species will be arranged further and further
from the centre according to the degree of
their intellectual faculties. The advantage of this
arrangement will be that, the dog being inferior to
the most perfect kinds of quadrumana, will stand
below them on the second shelf ; but being superior
in sagacity to the makis, this circumstance is denoted
by his being at the centre and the makis at a dis-
tance from it, though on the upper shelf. In the
same way other shelves may be arranged for the
orders immediately inferior to the carnivore in point
of sagacity; and from this succession of shelves new
relations may be discovered between species belong-
ing to different genera and orders.

Mr. Robert I'Anson, the trainer, was riding a
yearling off Lungton `Vold, on Sunday, when sud-
denly a hack horse, ridden by a gentleman a few yards
ahead, commenced to back and kick, and hit Mr. I' Anson
on the leg, inflicting very severe injuries. It is not quite
clear whether the limb is broken or not, but in any case
Mr. I'Anson will be disabled for some weeks.

NOVEL SCENE IN A CIRCUS.—A singular inci-
dent occurred three evenings ago at the Rainci
Circus at Ostend, when the Duchess de Brabant was Pre:
sent. The performance terminated by a stag hunt, in which-
the animal, finding itself surrounded, made a desperate leaP
and alighted in the royal box at the feet of the ducheog•
It then jumped over the low partition, rushed down the
grand staircase at the back of the box, gaiaed the street,
and has not since been heard of. This unexpected feat,
which was not on the programme, excited general laughter
in the theatre, in which the duchess herself was one of tllB
first tojoin.—Galignani.
[ADVERTISEIENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.'"
Bo Advised.—Sufferers from disease would act wisely in
trying these noble remedies before they abandon further
efforts for recovering their lost and fading health. The
momentous question of enjoying health or enduringillness
should determine all invalids to use Holloway's healing
Ointment and purifying Pills before yielding themselves
up to despair. The Ointment not only cures all skindie'
eases, outward sores, and superficial inflammations, but
restrains deep-seated ailments of the throat, chest, ana
bowels, when it is well rubbed externally over those parts.
i
From this Ointment's known power to quell rritation, iG
was supposed it would be eminently useful in checking
diphtheria, diarrhoea, and dysentery, a prediction whichtime, experience, and reflection have verified.

AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION.—WiIIiam White, a cab
driver, was charged with being drunk and incapable of
driving. _ _

J. Clarke, 273 A, said that he was on duty in the Ring's-
road last night, when his attention was attracted to the de-
fendant, who was driving a Hansom cab at a great pace
on the wrong side of the road. After proceeding a short
distance he ran up against a four-wheeled cab and upset it.
Mr. Arnold—Was there anybody in the cab ?
Witness—Yes, a lady and gentleman. The defendant's
cwn cab was also upset, and he fell heavily upon his
shoulder end aide of the head.
Mr. Arnold—The black eye he has is the worst I ever
saw. I wonder that his skull was not fractured.
Witness—Had he fallen three or four inches more in ad-
vance he must have split his head open.
Mr. Arnold—He has had a very fortunate escape.
Witness—He was insensible for a long timo in conse•
quence of the fall.
Mr. Arnold—Was there any one in his cab at the time of
the collision?

Witness—Yes, a lady.
Mr. Arnold—Was she hurt, and what became of her?
Witness—She was not hurt, I believe; the cab turned
over, and I helped the lady out. As soon as I did so she
walked away without waiting a moment.
Defendant—l was not drunk. The lady poked the flap
up and was talking to me, and that took off my attention,
and so the accident occurred.
Witness—When he recovered, it was quite clear that he
was drunk.
Enock Pulford—l was on duty at the station when the
defendant was brought there. There was no doubt about
his being drunk.
The proprietor and driver of the other cab were in attend-
ance, and the driver said that the constable's account of
the transaction was perfectly correct.
Mr. Arnold—The charge at present before me is only one
of drunkenness. I have nothing at present to do with the
damage you have caused. I have no doubt of your
drunkenness, but, in consideration of the cost you will
doubtless be at, and the injury you have sustained, I shall
only fine ycu ss.

Shooting a Gamekeeper in Essex.

We deeply regret to learn that the commencement of the
shooting season has been marked by one of those desperate
conflicts often leading to murder, which, though heard of
in other parts of the kingdom, are happily not frequent in
Essex. No serious personal injury has in this instance
been sustained, though as a band of game watchers were
twice fired upon by poachers, it appears to have been a mere
chance of the moment that life was not sacrificed.
It seems that early on Sunday morning four keepers on
the estate of T. B. Western, Esq , of Felix Hall, were
watching the:preserves, known as the Thicks,at Rivenhall,
expecting, it would seem from their strong force, an attack
upon the game in that quarter. About six o'clock they
heard several reports of fire-arms, and on reaching the spot
from which the sounds proceeded they encountered two
poachers with guns, one of whom was recognised as Henry
Towns, keeper of the Cherry Tree, a small public-house in
the outskirts of Witham ; and Thos Ager, a labourer, of the
same place. Of course the keepers prepared to close with
the depredators, and Wm. Burrell, one of them being in
front, attempted to take Towns, who turned upon him,
raised bis gun, and deliberately fired. Fortunately the
charge failed to take effect, but the escape was very narrow
indeed, as it passed between Burrell's arm and body and cut
down the brushwood immediately behind him. The keepers
instantly closed upon him, and after a desperate struggle
they obtained possession of the gun and secured him. Bur-
rell then observed Ager, the other man, making his escape
with a gun in his hand, and being the youngest and ap-
parently the most active of the keepers, ho at once gave
chase and rapidly gained upon his man, who, finding he
must be taken, turned, when his pursuer was within a few
feet of him, pointed his gun at him, and fired.° The:charge
struck the keeper in the side and knocked him dowa, setting
fire to his clothes and injuring his Real,
but fortunately
none of the shots entered his body. Ager then escaped.
The other keepers immediately ran to Burrell's assistance,
and found the poor fellow lying on the ground. On examin-
ing him they found his clothing shot away, his breast very
much bruised and discoloured, but, as we have said, most
fortunately none of the shots had penetrated. Towns was
handed over to the police and quickly transferred to the
Witham station. Superintendent Catchpoole, with his men,
immediately went in pursuit of Ager, who was apprehended
between 7 and 8 in the evening. Ager at first denied having
been at Rivenhall, but afterwards observed, " The gun went
off by accident." The prisoner was taken to Springfield
policeto
Witham station
for
for the
examination. night,
and d yesterday he was conveyed
_

Ager is a young and powerful man, and he has previously
been convicted of poaching and theft,--Essex Herald.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.274 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 43
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe4.r that gold is
about 3-10 the per cent. dearer in London than In Paris.
By adyices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling.
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
7-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 135 to 135/ per cent., and the premium
on gold about 22/ per cent. At these prices there is a small
profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

ZOOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION.

At the last sitting of the French Academy of
Sciences M. Chevreul explained his plan for a new
classification of the animal kingdom. His principle
may be briefly stated es follows ;—Under the pre-
sent system, in which the physical organisation of
the animal is taken for a guide, it often happens
that its intellectual development is often at va-
riance with its physiological state. Thus, the
Quadrumana precede the Carnivora in the pre-
sent system, the organisation of the former being
superior to that of the latter. Now if we take
the ourang-outang, chimpanzee, and gorilla as
types of the Quadrumana, both their orgaoiea,,tet
and intellectual faculties will induce us to pleet: 1-are
immediately after mac. But the makis, wheicLgar ai.
also quadrumanous, and therefore precede the c
h the dot.;
vora, are far below some of them,
mule-faculties. To
and phoca, as regards their intellectual this discre-
obviate the inconvenience resulting
and intellectual qualities

of animals, M. Chevreul
case. Let us suppeebe oto classify them
by shelves instead o

shelf to be occupied

centre, that the ourang-outang,
gorilla, as placed at equal dis-
tances on the
and circumferences, and other inferior
quadrumana further off from the
centre, but 0
of fi the same shelf. Now let the
lower shelf be devoted to the carnivore, and let
the centre be occupied by the best species, viz.,
the dog, Phoca, bear, and cat; then the inferior
species will be arranged further and further
from the centre according to the degree of
their intellectual faculties. The advantage of this
arrangement will be that, the dog being inferior to
the most perfect kinds of quadrumana, will stand
below them on the second shelf ; but being superior
insagacity to the makis, this circumstance is denoted
by his being at the centre and the makis at a dis-
tance from it, though on the upper shelf. In the
same way other shelves may be arranged for the
orders immediately inferior to the carnivore in point
of sagacity; and from this succession of shelves new
relations maybe discovered between species belong-
ing to different genera and orders.

Mr. Robert I'Anson, the trainer, was riding a
yearling off Langton Wold, on Sunday, when sud-
denly a hack horse, ridden by a gentleman a few yards
ahead, commenced to back and kick, and hit Mr. I' Ansen
on the leg, inflicting very severe injuries. It is not quite
clear whether the limb is broken or not, but in any case
I'AusviAFill be disabled for some weeks.

NOVEL SCENE IN A CIRCUS.—P singular incl'
dent occurred three evenings ago at the Bailie/
Circus at Ostend, when the Duchess de Brabant was Pre.
sent. The performance terminated by a stag hunt, in whic—
the animal, finding itself surrounded, made a desperate leap
and alighted in the royal box at the feet of the duchess'
It then jumped over the "low partition, rushed down the
grand staircase at the back of the box, gained the street,
and has not since been heard of. This unexpected feat,
which was not on the programme, excited general laughter
in the theatre, in which the duchess herself was one of the
first to join.—Galignani.

the short exchange on London is 25.276 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark

AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION.—WiIIiam White, a cab
driver, was charged with being drunk and incapable of
driving.

J. Clarke, 273 A, said that he was on duty in the Ring's-
road last night, when his attenticn was attracted to the de-
fendant, who was driving a Haasom cab at a great pace
on the wrong side of the road. After proceeding a short
distance he ran up against a four-wheeled cab and upset it.
Mr. Arnold—Was there anybody in the cab ?

Witness—Yes, a lady and gentleman. The defendant's
own cab was also upset, and he fell heavily upon his
shoulder and side of the head.

Mr. Arnold—The black eye he has is the worst I ever
saw. I wonder that his skull was not fractured.
Witness—Had he fallen three or four inches more in ad-
vance ho must have split his head open.

Mr. Arnold—He has had a very fortunate escape.
Witness—He was insensible for a long time in conse,
quence of the fall.

Mr. Arnold—Was there any one in his cab at the time of
the collision ?

Witness—Yes, a lady.

Mr. Arnold—Was she hurt, and what became of her?
Witness—She was not hurt, I believe; the cab turned
over, and I helped the lady out. As soon as I did so she
walked away without waiting a moment.
Defendant—l was not drunk. Tho lady poked the flap
up and was talking to me, and that took off my attention,
and so the accident occurred.

Witness—When he recovered, it Was quite clear that he
was drunk.

Enock Pulford—l was on duty at the station when the
defendant was brought there. There was no doubt about
his being drunk.

The proprietor and driver of the other cab were in attend•
ante, and the driver said that the constable's account o;
the transaction was perfectly correct.

Mr. Arnold—The charge at present before me is only one
of drunkenness. I have nothing at present to do with the
damage you have caused. I have no doubt of your
drunkenness, but, in consideration of the cost you will
doubtless be at, and the injury you have sustained, I shall
only fine ycu ss.
