Royal National Lifeboat Institution,

A meeting of this institution was held yesterday at its
house, John-street, Adelphi—Thomas Chapman, Esq., in
the chair. There were also present George Lyall, BE(I-1
M.P., Admiral Gordon, Montague Gore,
11. Horton.,
Esq., and other gentlemen. Mr. Lewis, the secretary, read
the minutes of the previous meeting. It was reported that
the new lifeboat which the National Lifeboat Institution
IV.
had jast sent to Filey, near York, and which was publicly
launched there on the 26th ult. in the presence of her bene-
volent donors, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of 'York,
had done some noble service early on Tuesday morning last,
in rescuing during a strong gale and heavy sea, two poor
fishermen from an inevitable death. The expense of the

service was £3 Gs. A reward of .E 1 was given to the crew

of the St. Ives lifeboat for saving seven pilots who, while
entering the harbour of that place during a strong gale of
wind on the 11th ult., were in a very dangerous position.
The lifeboat had gone out in the first instance in reply to,
signals of distress from the brig Benjamin Boyd, of Bristol.
On reaching her, however, the services of the lifeboat were
not required. Thus it sometimes happens that a lifeboat
remains by a ship for hours together, and finds ultimately
that its services are not required. A reward of £l2 was
also voted to the crew of the Hauxley lifeboat for going off
and rescuing, on Friday night last, the crew of fire men of
the schooner Theophilus, of Aberdeen, which, during
stormy weather, had got on the rocks on the Northumber-
land coast. Some fishing cobles had previously atterypted,
without success, to reach the wreck. This valuable lifeboat

Since that period the lifeboats have rescued 86
shipwrecked persons. Rewards amounting to Lit; were
also voted to the crews of the Tynemouth and Bla.keney
ago onNorthumberland,the N°
lifeboats for going off in reply to signals of distress, but
their services were not afterwards required. A reward of

£4 was likewise granted to a crew of Northumberland
fishermen for going off and bringing on shore from the
Prussian sloop Maria, seven men belonging to the schooner
Heinrich, of Strasland, which, during the fearful storm of
the Ist ult., bad sunk in the North Sea. After four hours
and a half (wrote the Rev. F. R. Simpson, of North
Sunderland), the crow of the sloop Maria succeeded in
getting the men off the Heinrich, hauling them through
the sea at great risk and danger to their own lives. They
were kept on board from the Ist to the 7th ult., having
been reduced, with their salvors, to an allowance of two
biscuits daily. A reward of £1 was voted to a young man
named John Kerwan, and £2 5s to some other men in
testimony of their gallant exertions in rescuing, ,at great
risk of life, ten men from the Greek brig Marietta, from
Lisbon to Cardiff, which was wrecked during the late terrific
gales, near Tramore on the Irish coast. The crew, ten in
number, were seen on the top of a lock fully 100 feet high.
The sea was frightful at the time, washing completely over
the vessel. It appears that during the night, and when
the vessel was found to be breaking up, one of the crew
leaped into the surf with a rope round his body, and
fortunately, as the distance was not far, he succeeded
in reaching the rock above elluded to, and in climbing
to the top of it, a feat that one would think next to impos-
sible. He then pulled a heavy rope from the veseal and
tied it round the rock, and by theca umans the crew g of on
to the rock in safety. The next matter was to got them to
the shore, and this was done by the men on shore dropping
a line over the cliff. The people on shore then, with the
aid of the ropes, climbed up the rock and rendered assist-
ance to the poor fellows, and in a few hours nixie of tl to men
were lauded in safety. One man then remained who could
not descend, as his arm was so severely hurt that he could
not use it, A lifeboat of .he National Lifeboat Instivation
was fortunately within three miles of the wreck. Site was
speedily brought round by her crew, who pulled her through
the heavy surf in good style, and in a short time re ached
the spot. Kirwan then ascended the rock and placed a rope
round the injured man's body, and assisted to lower him.
The man then plunged into the sea, and the crew of the
lifeboat picked him up and landed him at the Cove. I )wr-
ing the late gales 64 foreign shipwrecked sailors were s aved
from a watery grave by the lifeboats of this institution, and
by other means for which it had granted rewards. The
names of the vessels and the numbers of their crews aria as
follow :—Barque Tamworth, of Skein, Norway, 17 ; Greek
brig Marietta, 10; schooner Gallia, of Palermo, 10 ; bar quo
Providence, of Dantzice 7; schooner Heinrich, of Strashud,
7: ketch Snip, of Amsterdam, 5 ; and Italian brig Creme -
glino, 8 men. Various other rewards were also voted ft ,r
saving life from shipwreck during the late gales. It ae tS
reported that the Duke of Somerset, and other Lords of t ha
Admiralty, had witnessed, on the invitation of the insti,
tion, some harbour trials in the Regent's Canal Lea&
Liraehouse, with two new ships' lifeboats. Their lordships-1
were much pleased with the same, and had since
de-
cided to build ono or two specimen lifeboats, whirl t
