ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.

Yesterday the annual meeting of the Governors and other
friends of this highly useful Institution took place, for the
purpose of receiving the Annual Report, and for the pur-
pose of granting rewards and honorary medallions to indivi-
duals who have exerted themselves in saving the lives of
parties placed in peril by reason of immersion in water.
The Chair was taken by Mr. Justice Gazelee. There
were present Mr. Briscoe, M.P., Colonel Clitherow, &c.
The minutes of the meetings of the Committee since the
last annual meeting having been read, and which referred
to the receipt of a communication from Lord Palmerston,
containing the reply of the Due de Broglie, to the corres-
pondence of the Society with the French Government, for
an alteration in the sanatory laws of France. A letter
had also been received by the Society from the Collectors
of the Custom House, on the conduct of the Dounaiers on
the occasion of the wreck of the Amphitrite at Boulogne.
The Society, in pursuance of a correspondence from Mr.
Briscoe, M.P., recommending a branch to be established
at Dover, had taken occasion to establish a branch of the
Parent Society. A branch has also been established at
Brighton. A communication had also been read from Sir
J. Rennie, recommending that the Serpentine should be re-
duced to the depth of 41 feet.
The SECRETARY (Mr. Westropp) stated, that during the
past year 119 cases had been reported to the Court, of
which 110 had been successful, and nine unsuccessful. Of
the number of cases, 27 were attempts at suicide, of which
ten were referred to the General Court. He then pro-
ceeded to detail the cases which have come before the
Society, in which persons had rendered eminent services in
saving the lives of others.
The first case of interest was of Mr. Bamford, of the
Ordnance Department, who saved a lad from death. The
lad, while on the ice, in Rosamond Pond, in the Green Park,
fell through into the water. A rope having been thrown to
the lad, he was unable to extricate himself, when Mr. Bam-
ford rushed into the water, and struggling through the ice,
succeeded in saving him, just as he was sinking. A silver
medal was voted to Mr. Bamford.
A silver medal was awarded to a sailor, named Brock-
well, of his Majesty's ship Malabar, for saving the life of
another sailor in the Bay of Cadiz, in January last. The
night was dark, and a heavy tide running, when a sailor,
named Pepper, fell overboard. After great exertions, Pepper
was saved, being insensible, and the means of resuscitation
were, after three hours' application, successful.
The next case was that of an officer of the police, Mr.
Price, M 160, who had rescued three men from an old
cesspool, in the Borough, at night, the unfortunate parties
having become completely overpowered. Mr. Hawes,
M.P., moved that the reward be left to the discretion of
the Committee.

on."

A silver medal, after some discussion, was voted to Mr.
Price, and thirty shillings to each of the two labourers who
first made the attempt.
The thanks of the Society, upon vellum, were voted to
Mr. Brown, for having resuscitated a girl named Green-
way, after three quarters of an hour's exertion.
The silver medal was awarded to Mr. W. Dobie, mate
of his Majesty's ship illagicienne, for saving the lives of
three seamen, who had fallen overboard in June last. Mr.
Dobie immediately jumped into the sea while the ship was
running nine knots an hour, at the entrance of the Tagus.
This gallant man has received already a medal for previous
similar courage.
The next case of interest was that of the courageous con-
duct of Mr. Mant, son of the Bishop of Down, and midship-
man on board his Majesty's ship Waterwitelz. Mr. Mant,
while in the Bermuda, saved the assistant-surgeon, who had
thrown himself overboard whilst in a state of insanity, and
though a very powerful man, the youth succeeded, after he
bad been several times carried under water, in saving him.
A. second intance of his courage had been displayed at Sierra
Leone, where Mr. Mant was in charge of a slave-ship. The
boat in which Mr. Mant and two seamen were was capsized
by a tornado. The two seamen were in an exhausted state ;
but Mr. Mant succeded in his exertions to save them,
though fearful of sharks. While under a sea, Mr. Mant
saw what he considered an alligator, and fainte:l, he having
been rescued in a state of great exhaustion. The whole
were picked up by the ship's boat, the safety of the lives of
the two seamen being wholly attributable to the young mid-
shipman, who has, on a previous occasion, saved the life of
a fellow-creature. .

The silver medal was granted, with the regret that the
gold medal was not yet in existence to grant it on the pre-
sent occasion.

The SECRETARY then read the statement of the Society's
account for the first year, from which it appeared that the
receipts, in donations, legacies, &c., had been 2,8841.145. 4d.,
and the expenditure, including the cost of 1,0001. stock,
about 2,5001., leaving a balance in hand of 3131. 13s. It
also reported that since the new receiving-house in Hyde
Park had been opened 109 cases of suspended animation
had been received, of which 27 were in the last year. Of
these, 20 cases were unsuccessful, and 17 were cases of
suicide, or attempt at suicide. With the consent of the
Woods and Forests the Society bad erected posts along the
Serpentine River, the more effectually to protect the pub-
lic during the skating season.
Thanks were then returned to the Chairman, and the
meeting adjourned.

The London Mail of Saturday, the 31st of Decem-
ber, reached Edinburgh on Monday night, at twelve o'clock,
being eleven hours after its usual time.
A requisition has been numerously signed in this
city, which there is no doubt the Mayor will accede to, for
a public meeting, to take into consideration the propriety
of presenting petitions to both houses of Parliament, for
the total abolition of church rates.—Lincoln Gazette.

In Russia, during 1834, there were published 844
works, 728 of which were original, and 116 translations.
These last form about one eighth of the whole, whereas,
in 1833, the translations amounted to a sixth, and in 1831
to a fifth. The number of scientific works was 430, of
which 359 were original. Works purely literary were
271, and of these 226 were original. Of the whole amount
544 were in the Russian language, 91 in the German,
54 Hebrew, 46 Latin, 37 Polish, 36 French, 26 Lithua-
nian, Esthonian, Finlandish, and Swedish, 3 Italian, 3
Greek, 3 Samogitian, 1 Dutch, 1 English, 1 Arabic, and
1 Persian. At no period was the press of Russia more ac-
tively employed than it is at this moment.
James Brewster, Esq., of Halstead Lodge, had been
drinking tea on Sunday with Mrs. Brewster, who has long
been an invalid, and he had left her room only a short time
apparently in his usual health, when he suddenly expired.
The deceased had been in the Commission of the Peace for
Essex twenty-three years, and by his urbanity in the dis-
charge of his duties as a magistrate won the respect of those
with whom he had acted. He was also a Deputy Lieute-
nant of the county.
There was an immense amount of commercial bills
due this day (Jan. 4) ; and owing to the obstructions that
have been thrown in the way of remittances by the state of
the roads as well as the non-arrival of vessels long since ex-
pected, there were considerable apprehensions ; but the re-
mittances that arrived last night or by this morning's mails
are understood to have been so ample as to remove all
ground of alarm on this subject. The amount of disho-
noured bills from other causes was, however, very consi-
derable.— Tinter.

RELIEF OF BILBOA.

The following is Colonel Wylde's Official Report :

" BILBOA, DEC. 25.

"My Lord,—l have the sincerest satisfaction in inform-
ing your Lordship that the siege of Bilboa was raised, and
General Espartero entered the city at the head of his ad-
vanced guard early this morning ; and the rest of the
army are at this moment defiling through, and taking up
their cantonments round it.

" The enemy have been completely routed, and the whole
of their artillery captured, as well as the commanding offi-
cer of artillery and engineers, and a considerable number of
prisoners ; but I cannot give your Lordship the details at
present.
" The attack commenced about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, with eight picked companies, who were embarked
in launches and rafts opposite the Desierto, about four
o'clock in the afternoon ; the foremost launches being towed
by the crews of the Ringdove and Saracen, Capt. Lapidge,
and Lieutenant Le Hardy, in leading their gigs, covered by
four Spanish gun-boats, and protected by the fire of the
Spanish and British Royal Marine Artillery, the latter under
the command of Major Colquhoun. In this order they
pushed on past the enemy's advanced battery, and landed
the troops immediately in its rear, with scarcely any loss—
the enemy abandoning both it and their intrenchment
on the broken bridge of Luchana almost immediately. This
point gained, the rafts were moored alongside the bridge, to
enable the column that marched along the quay to advance,
until the engineers could repair the bridge. The enemy ap-
pear to have been taken completely by surprise, not being
able to observe the embarkation of the troops, in consequence
of a heavy fall of snow at the time ; and had it not been for
the cheers of the troops giving them warning of their ap-
proach, many prisoners would have been made here. As soon
as the battalion passed the bridge, they formed, and pushed
up the heights of Cabras, leading to the Banderas, and
gained possession of them before the Carlists could collect
force enough to prevent their establishing themselves. About
nine o'clock, however, the Carlists made a desperate attempt
to dislodge them, and partly effeeted their object, which
they repeated three times during the night ; but were at
length finally repulsed, after four or five hours hard fighting ;
and General Espartero, placing himself at the head of two
battalions, carried the enemy's battery of three heavy guns,
and the height and fort of Banderas, at the point of the
bayonet. From this moment the flight of the enemy com-
menced ; the main body by the Durango road, and the
rest who had been left to observe Bilboa, over bridges and
boats they had constructed opposite the village of Olaveaga,
which they had not time to destroy.
" I cannot yet ascertain the loss on the part of the
Queen's troops, but it has been severe ; the two battalions
of Guards alone having lost nine officers killed and twenty-
three wounded, and nearly 500 men. Bilboa appears to
have suffered considerably, one of its suburbs being nearly
entirely in ruins. I believe from 1,000 to 1,200 of its gar-
rison have been killed or wounded.

" I can assure your Lordship that it is impossible to
praise too highly the indefatigable zeal and energy which has
been displayed by Captain Lapidge, Lieutenant Le Hardy,
and Lieutenant Otway, and all the officers and crews of the
Ringdove, Saracen, and Comet, during the harassing opera-
tions carried on in the river for the last month, and I had
the gratification of being requested by General Espartero
to convey to them, and to Major Colquhoun and Lieut.
Vicars, of the Engineers, and all the officers under them,
his warmest thanks, the moment he entered Bilboa, and
assurances that without the aid of the British force he could
not have succeeded in relieving Bilboa. I have, &c.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
PARIS, JAN. 2.—We have received the following details
from an authentic source :

" All the journals, on the authority of Carlist reports,
have announced that Gomez had returned to Navarre with
four or five thousand men. This is substantially ineor.

rect Gomez was accompanied by only about 1,500 men,
in the most deplorable state of destitution, and so worn out
by fatigue that they will be for a long time incapable of
active measures. But to make up for it, he was attended
by an ample train of monks and canons. The Constitu-
tionalists are well furnished with provisions and artillery,
and have now a very large body of regular forces. There
is a great want of resources among the Carlists, among
whom lassitude and want of success begin to cause deser-

Messrs. Grivet, Adon, and Vermont, manufacturers of
socks, were arrested yesterday. They are accused of hav-
ing held language offensive to the King's person at the mo-
ment of the crime. This morning they have been taken to
La Foreee. The number of persons arrested and brought
t• the depot of the Prefecture of the Police during the last
year was above 2,ooo.—Journal du Commerce, Jan. 3.
PARIS, JAN. 3.—The Jtfoniteur publishes a very long
report of the Minister of Marine to the King, followed by
two Ordinances, both relative to some new regulations in
the naval service.

A letter from Arras, of the 28th of December, announces
that the Hotel of the Prefecture had been totally destroyed
by fire on the preceding day, notwithstanding all the efforts
of the inhabitants and the garrison. The sappers and miners
of the 3d Regiment of Engineers saved the archives, bu t
all the paintings of any value were burnt, except one, which
is the full-length portrait of Louis Philippe.
This unfortunate accident, which is ascribed to the care-
lessness of some servants, will occasion the Department as
expense of at least 200,000 francs. Several persons were
wounded.-114essager, Jan. 3.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)
The following addresses were delivered to the King upon
the occasion of the new year ; subjoined to them will be
found his Majesty's replies :

ADDRESS OF COUNT D'APPONY, IN THE NAME OF THE
DIPLOMATIC BODY.

" The Diplomatic Body, always the faithful organ of the
Sovereigns it has the honour to represent, becomes particu-
larly so to-day, when, Sire, it is admitted to express to your
Majesty its homage and its wishes. These are confounded
in the feelings of gratitude we owe to Providence for the
protection it has visibly granted to your Royal person, and
which has again been signalised on the late horrible attempt,
by which the repose and happiness of France were threatened.
During the year which has just terminated, Europe has
been maintained in the enjoyment of peace and union ; con-
fidence has prevailed in all the relations between the several
Cabinets, and this constant accord has served as a new and
more solid guarantee for future order and prosperity. The
wisdom of your Majesty, which is the object of our unani-
mous homage, has obtained these blessings for France, and
they are at the same time the delightful reward of your
generous efforts. Deign, Sire, to accept the sincere and
respectful homage of the wishes formed by the Diplomatic
Body, on this occasion of the return of a new year, for the
preservation of your Majesty's precious life, for your happi-
ness, and for that of your august family."

THE KING'S ANSWER.

" It is ever with the most cordial satisfaction that I re-
ceive the expression of the sentiments of the Diplomatic
Body ; but, at present, when the lives of myself and my sons
have been again threatened, and again preserved by Divine
Providence, my joy is the more heartfelt at seeing you as-
sembled around me, to join in the testimonies of attach-
ment and sympathy with which I am surrounded from all
parts of France, and which are the most delightful conso-
lation I can receive on an occasion so painful. If the year
which has just elapsed leaves some painful recollections, at
least it has afforded new pledges of a continuance of that

harmony and confidence which so happily subsist between
all Governments. lam happy to find that my efforts for
maintaining it are appreciated by the Sovereigns you re-
present, and I am deeply affected by the good wishes you
offer in the name of the Diplomatic Body, for France, for
my family, and for myself."
ADDRESS OF BARON PASQUIER, PRESIDENT OF THE CHAM-

BEP OF PEERS.
" Sire—When the Chamber of Peers congratulated

self on the approach of the day for renewing to your Ma-
jesty the homage of its respects and its wishes, we are far
from anticipating that before the arrival of that day we
should again have to deplore an attempt similar to that
which so lately filled France with consternation, and
on which the indignation of the country has dealt
speedy justice.. Where can the wretches live who have dared
to conceive such crimes ? In what shameful haunt can
they have spent their existence, that they are thus igno-
rant of the extent to which they call down upon their
heads the execration of the country ? The public horror is
no where more strongly felt than in the Chamber of Peers,
and we can have no fears of giving full expression to it. As
members of the first body of the State, and as Magistrates
deeply impressed with the sacred nature of our duties, we
have a right and we feel the necessity of so doing. 1 shall
say nothing further on this subject, Sire ; but the reserve
imposed on us by our exalted and awful functions cannot
forbid us to offer consolation to your Majesty, and we ad-
here to that which your heart must best understand. The
love of the French, their devotion to your sacred person,
and to your august family, increase and strengthen in pro-
portion to the dangers to which they see your Majesty ex-
posed : for the nation is aware that those dangers are in-
curred as the price of your solicitude to preserve it from
the evils which the partisans and the instruments of anarchy
would fain inflict upon it. The nation is well aware that
the men whose furious and sanguinary passions, and whose
atrocious maxims so perseveringly arm assassins, are the
declared foes of all honest and virtuous society, among
which order, propriety, and religion, are not unmeaning words.
Enjoy, at least, this affection, Sire, this devotion ; enjoy it
as the most certain, and the most worthily and gloriously ac-
quired good. Is it now possible for us to quit a subject so
fraught with terrible emotions, to resume the ordinary habits

of the period which brings us to the foot of your Majesty's
throne ? A great and memorable example of the force ofmind
which can surmount those emotions is present to our
thoughts, and will encourage and support us. It is a noble
and an affecting custom, which, at the commencement of
every year, assembles families around their head, citizens
around their sovereign, and gives to the latter the first
bodies of the state, and the first magistrates of the coun-
try, as their organs. In these assemblages all is placed as
it were in common, and all ideas may be communicated.
When, therefore, some reverses are mingled with accus-
tomed success, no apprehension need be entertained of
dwelling on them ; for it is only the feeble and the incapable
who, in appreciating great undertakings, obstinately turn
from the contemplation of the inexorable condition of for-
tuitous events, and from the reverses which the most for-
tunate, as well as the most skilful, so rarely escape. We
make no attempt to dissemble our patriotic grief, when the
country has just lost so many of her noble sons, in a
land in which their valour has been so often displayed ;
but this momentary check has, at least, nothing of which
an enemy can be proud—nothing from which the national
honour can suffer ; and we are convinced that it will shortly
be the source of a fresh triumph. The firmness which
your Majesty unites with that high degree of prudence
which is so justly and so generally admired, affords us a
sure pledge for such a result ; and the young and ardent
spirits which surround the throne would hold as unpardon-
able to doubt it. Has not one of them, amidst the pain-
ful circumstances which we now deplore, displayed a con-
stancy and firmness of soul which might do honour to a
veteran soldier ? We congratulate you, Sire, on being able to
show such sons to the country and to the army. Providence
has hitherto protected them, and has even now preserved
them as well as yourself, and we have confidence in his
justice and goodness. If we contemplate the situation of
affairs in the interior of the kingdom, can we avoid being
struck with the results obtained by your wisdom ? Con-
fiding in that wisdom, France, under your aegis, reposes in
her Constitutiona iGovernment as in an harbour which
shelters her from the new and hazardous attempts of which
too many examples have been given to the world, and which
sometimes cost nations too dear. Guided by your long
experience, enlightened by your profound knowledge of men
and things, the Royal power displayed energy when the
safety of the State demanded it. and clemency as soon as a
better disposition was perceptible ; and a circumstance
which may suffice to attest the progress of public reason is,
that the measures of indulgence and pardon extended by
you to all the errors that might have led passion into crime,
have obtained universal approbation. The Chamber of
Peers has joyfully seen your clemency extended to the acts
of its justice. The Peers had fulfilled their duty, and you
have worthily exercised your noblest prerogative. The
Chamber, for its part, thanks you, happy at all times to
devote itself to the interests of your Crown, which are
those of every Frenchman, and to associate itself with the
feelings of your heart, which will always be those of a
Sovereign."
The King replied :
" I thank the Chamber of Peers for this new testimony
of its sentiments towards me, for its attachment to its du-
ties and to the country, and for its religious solicitude to
support the rights of the Crown in the general interest. I
lament to see you so often called upon to exercise your ju-
dicial functions. I would fain efface from our annals the
sad recollection of these attempts ; I could, above all, wish
that we could henceforth preserve France (I speak not of
myself) from the grief and affliction in which such attempts
have already but too often plunged her.—(His Majesty
was here interrupted by loud acclamations of Vive lc
Roi.') I trust that the reprobation of the public will at
length convince those who still entertain such guilty de-
signs, that their attempts will be in vain, that the suc-
cession to the throne, sustained by the national will, by
the support of the Chamber of Peers and of the Chamber
of Deputies, and of the great bodies of the State, is
beyond the reach of their criminal efforts ; and that even,
should Providence withdraw the shield which has been
hitherto held over me, the stability of our institutions
and the security of France will be equally guaranteed ;
the rights of the Crown, and the succession to the
throne will not be less irrevocably ensured.—(The King
was here interrupted by fresh acclamations.) It has been gra-
tifying to me to hear you speak of the prosperity which the
country enjoys. Unfortunately, this prosperity drives sense-
less men to despair. It is to overturn all that they seek
my life ' • but for myself, the faithful guardian of the deposit
France has confided to me, their detestable projects will only
cause me to persevere in the steps I have constantly pursued.
I am sure to obtain from you that assistance which has never
failed me, and never will while the Crown or the country
demands it of you.—(Loud and repeated cries of ' Vive le

Roe followed-this reply.)
ADDRESS OF M. DUPIN, PRESIDENT OE THE CHAMBER

OF DEPUTIES.
" Sire—lt is but a very few days since the whole Cham,
ber, in mournful silence, expressed its profound grief to
your Majesty. To-day it ventures to yield to hope. You,
therefore, see it pressing round your Throne, and saluting
you with its good wishes. You cannot, Sire, doubt its sin-
cerity, which is the forerunner of that loyal support de-
manded of us by the King, and in which we can never
fail towards his person, his dynasty, or in the sacrifices
which may be required for the honour of the nation—the
full maintenance of our Constitutional Institutions—and
the energetic defence of the Government founded by our
mighty Revolution of July. Sire—The year is good for
the King when it is good for France. We desire, for
our country, greatness and peace, and that prosperity—
in its material interests—which forms its wealth. But
we also desire the satisfaction of those moral wants of
human societies which constitute the power and dignity
of nations—sound education for the people, honesty in all
business, and honour—French honour in every transaction,
and, as a necessary consequence of it, the fulfilment of every
duty, a conformity between acts, doctrines, and oaths, the
real clement of enlightened public opinion, strong in encou-
raging well-doing, and powerful in counteracting the genius
of evil, by establishing a conviction that evil cannot meet
with support. May your Majesty's reign last for many
years ! We desire this for the repose of the world, for the
happiness of France, and, we may add, for that of our ex-
cellent Queen, the Majesty of whose character has no oc-
casion to be exalted by grievous trials. To our young
Princes, our brave and faithful army, wherever the real in-
terests of their country may call them, we wish the most
glorious success, in which the righteousness of the victory
prepared by strict discipline may be sustained by integrity
in its application. Sire ! Pure justice is the first condition
of good government. Iniquitous judgment, or impunity for
culprits, is the most active cause of demoralization. To
the Magistracy, therefore, as ever, we wish uprightness,
wisdom, and strength of mind and character sufficient for
the execution of the laws in administering that impartial
justice which is equal to all, which by a high fiction of our
law is rendered in the name of the King only to attest that
it is superior to all, and that no one can pretend to be above
its inflexible level. Such, Sire, are the good wishes which
I, as your faithful servant, respectfully lay at the feet of
your Majesty."
The King replied :
" I receive with pleasure this new expression of the sen-
timents of the Chamber of Deputies. I was deeply affected
by those which it addressed to be me in a body. That
silent address, alluded to by your President, was neverthe-
less, strong and impressive ; but it was not silent when I
appeared among you after the event which threatened the
lives of myself and my sons ; and my heart was penetrated
by the acclamations with which you received me. The
Chamber knows the affection I bear towards it ; it knows
how dear to me are the testimonies of its sentiments ; it
also knows how useful is the display of these testimonies,
in proving to those who meditate similar attempts, that
they will ever be in vain, for they prove that France would
give to my son the same support, and that their shame-
less projects will be disconcerted and annihilated.—
(These words were responded to with loud and una-
nimous acclamations.) Yes, Gentlemen, these are
truths loudly proclaimed and universally acknowledged,
and will preserve us from a renewal of these odious
attempts, and save our national honour from the in-
juries it sustains from these wretches, and the disgrace
which they bring upon the French name in all countries,
not only in Europe, but in the civilised world. It is time to
reduce to impotence the few perverse minds which expose
us to such dangers. Gentlemen, I speak not of myself.
My blood is my country's, and I shall always be ready to
shed it for her benefit. (The King was again interrupted
by cries of " Vivo le Roi !") But speak of France, her
happiness, her security, and the stability of her institutions.
(Here the acclamations were redoubled.) I thank you for
the support you have given me in defending them. You
know you may rely open my perseverance. I feel confident
that, with the aid of that Providence which has so often co-
vered me with its aegis, we shall succeed in preserving France
from a renewal of these deplorable occurrences, and the
vessel of the State from similar storms.—(Reiterated cries
of " Vive le Roi !")
It has been stated for some days past that the officers of
the National Guards alone would be admitted to the pre-
sence of the Royal Family on the fete of the new year, and
that, contrary to the custom formerly, when non-corn.
missioned officers and privates were indiscriminately
admitted to present their congratulations, an order,
emanating from the Staff of the National Guard,
restricted the invitation to officers alone. This
determination, we hasten to mention, had produced a very
unpleasant effect in the minds of the great proportion of the
legions, and particularly those of the banlieue. The Go-
vernment were apprised of this, and early yesterday morning
the order was rescinded, but with the condition that non-
commissioned officers and privates should, on entering, make
themselves known to their respective officers. Although
this new resolution was not known till late, a great number
of the National Guards availed themselves of it, and joined

their comrades. Another alteration was observed in the
position occupied by the King and. the Royal Family at the
moment of reception. On the last and preceding years the
King stood before the throne, with his face to the Car-
rousel ; the officers defiled to thue right of the King, and sa-
luted to the left ; this year he occupied a position just the
reverse ;he faced the Throne, a,-id the officers defiled to
the left. It is needless to add tbat the National Guard
manifested its accustomed enthusiasm in passing before the
King, whose countenance evinced deep emotion.—Con-
