APPEAL.sq. .R.S., P.P.
The Committee of Management have to state that in
the beginning of the year 1861, the Royal National Lifeboate
Institution has expended £28,550 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments 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 13,220;
tor' which services 82 Gold Medals, 733 Silver Medals, and
£17,200 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £75,350 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-cart iag,es, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public durine, the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 125 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, which 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
great and truly national a work.
The Committee gratefully acknowledge the following con-
tributions:—

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 9.—We have had a very
quiet market in both yarn and cloth, for which
buyers as well as sellers were somewhat prepared
by the previous tone of the cotton market and the
reports to hand as to the state of the money market.
Some private letters received by merchants speak of
the disturbed state of the money market in terms
much more calculated to excite attention than any-
thing which appears in the journals. The only
effect which these letters have had so far has been '
shown only in the caution of buyers, who have ab-
stained from business to a great extent to-day. In
yarns there have been very few sales, especially for
export, and recent encouraging accounts from India
seem to have failed in giving any impulse to busi-
ness for that quarter. In prices there has been no
change, and the market closes firm, at the quota-
tions of Tuesday. In cop yarns there has been no
change, since Tuesday's prices are steady, with only
a very moderate business offering. In cloths the
demand for all quarters seems to have been declin-
ing as the week has progressed towards its close,
and to-day we have had very little demand, so that
few sales have been possible. There has been some
little inquiry of a general character, but even in
such cases buyers seem to be less inclined to give
the prices required than they were on Tuesday.
On the other hand, manufacturers and holders of
cloth are alike firm in price, and there is no apparent
disposition among them to make any concession
on the quotations of Tuesday last, Concession, in-
deed, seems hardly probable in the present position
of producers. Many of them are well engaged,
stocks on hand are light, and the bareness of the
market becomes more apparent every day: Bayers
must become cognisant of this in making their in-
quiries, from the difficulty they find in placing
contracts where they are unwilling to submit to
accept delivery of the goods at a distant day. There
are some few exceptional cases in which goods have
been produced for which there is not much require-
ment, and in such instances a slight weakness may
be discovered; but they are very few.

THE NAV Y.

:Rear Mmiral DAcres, C,8., in the flagship Edgar,
71, (23pt. Hornby, accompanied by the Warrior, 40,
Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane; the Emerald, 35,
Capt. Cumming ; and ltnistance, 16, Capt.
Chamberlain, left Plymouth Souud yesterday
morning, for Portsmouth.

PLYMOUTH, Friday Evening.—The screw steam-
ship Una, Captain Batty, from Smyrna and Malta
for London, with a full general cargo and 20 pas-
sengers, put black to the Sound this evening. On
the 2d iust,, 13 miles north► of Lisbon, she passed the
screw steamer St. Elmo homeward hound, and at
half-past 2 this afternoon observed her Majesty's
ironclad ships Warrior and Devastation five miles
south-west of Start Point, and shortly after the flag-
ship Edgar and frigate Emerald 15 miles south of
the Breakwater, all under steam, bound to Spithead.
Wind, S.S.W.; blowing strong.
The Hector, 32, iron screw frigate, will be nn-
docked from the Warrior Dock, at Portsmouth, this
morning. On Monday the Columbine screw gun
vessel, Commander Ward, refitting for service in
the Pacific, will be placed in the same dock for a
couple of tides for the purpose of cleansing her
copper, examining her valves, &c. After this the
dock will be held for the service of the Warrior and
Resistance iron frigates, and other ships of the
Channel squadron now hourly expected at Spit-
head from Devonport.
A 40 foot launch is being fitted at Portsmouth
yard with twin screws and independent engines on
the principle which has been during the past 12
months so prominently brought before the notice
of the Admiralty and the public by Messrs.
Dudgeon, of Limehonse and Fenchurch•street.
The Imperial Russian screw corvette Soxall, 11
guns, Capt. A. Aslanbegoff, left Spithead at 4 p.m.
yesterday, under steam for Toulon.

her boilers and machinery about two feet closer to

her class.

THE ARMY.

Col. O'Brien,ccturnandingthe 4th botalion
Trein at Woolwich,yesterday recivzd instruc-
tions from the Horse Guards to hold himself in rea-
diness to proceed by the overland route to New
Zealand, in company of a veterinary surgeon of the
battalion for the purchase of hot ses and waggons
for the use of the battalino on their arrival, The
battalion consists of Major Grey, Captains Greens,
Fletcher, and Wiison, Lieutenants Webb, St. Aubin,
Sewell, Shaw, and Creagh, Eusigns Thivies and
Leir, Adjutant Sclaakleton, Quartermaster Lambert,
Surgeon M.D., Veterinary Surgeon Ap-

anDd'AretheefY' full force of the battalion—namely,
287 non-commissed officers and men, with full
equipment of harness, &c.
They will be replaced
at Woolwich most probably by a squadron of the
2d battalion from Aldershot, Which will be rein-
stated there by a further increase of the corps.
Quartermaster White, appointed to the -Wool-

tion from the rank of Sergeant-Major to the Ports.
mouth division, has been presented with a handsome
sword and belt by his commanding officer, major_
Gen. A. Anderson, as a mark of esteem
and regard. The private friends of Mr. White at
Gosport have presented him with a handsome silver
tea and coffee service:

Her Majesty's paddle sloop Hydra, Lieut. G.
Wilkinson (in temporary command), after the ad-
justment of compasses yesterday at Greenhithe,
sailed for Malta to relieve the Medina, for survey in
the Mediterranean.

Orders were yesterday received by the heads of
departments in Woolwich Arsenal from the Secre-
tary of State for War, directing facilities to be af-
forded to the officers of the Military Store
Depart-
ment, under the direction of Mr. Parkyn, Deputy-
Superintendent, to pass through a course of instruc-
tions in the laboratory and the various manufactur-
ing branches, so as to obtain a competent knowledge
of the stores under their charge.

Foundering of the British Iron Ship Seinde
on her First Voyage.

The Speedwell, 5, gun vessel, Commander George
F. Cottam, yesterday bent sails alongside the re-
ceiving hulk Salsette, at Woolwich, and received
over her crew, under orders to go down the river
this morning, and test her machinery and rate of
speed at the measured mile. After this she will
return to the Arsenal Buoy, and ship her powder
and proceed to her destination—the West Coast of
Africa.

Her Majesty's paddle-wheel sloop Salamander,
6 guns, 818 tons, 220-horse power, master in charge
Vernon Jones, having undergone thorough and ex-
tensive repairs, and been fitted with new boilers in
Sheerness dockyard, was taken to the measured
mile off Maplin Sands, on Thursday last, for the
final trial of her engines previous to being commis-
sioned. In the absence (on leave) of Capt. W. K.
Hall, C. 8., commanding the Sheerness steam re-
serve, the vessel was in charge of Commander Arthur
Barrow, of the Cumberland; Mr. W. Rumble, in-
spector of machinery afloat, and Mr. G. Blaxland,
chief engineer of Sheerness dockyard, superintended
the working of the machinery. The performance
of the vessel was fully equal to the greatest expec-
tations regarding her, and was indeed all that could
be expected. She attained a true mean speed of
6.721 knots an hoar, with 18.16 revolutions of en-
gines per minute ; pressure of steam, 13; load o❑
safety valve, 13 ; vacuum, starboard, 26 ; port, 251;
draught of water, 15ft. llin. forward, 15ft. 10min.
aft; diameter of wheel, 20ft ; immersing of floats,
2ft. 2in. The circle was turned at full boiler power
in sm. 303., helm starboard 33 degrees, diameter of
circle 460 ft. ; the half circle was turned, with helm
starboard, 30 deg., in 2min. 20scc ; with helm port
30 deg.. in 2min. 22sec. Owing to the rough state
of the sea (the force of wind being 7 to 8), no trials
were made st half boiler power. The Salamander
returned to her moorings in Sheerness harbour the
same evening, and is now awaiting the pennant.
She has been fitted with Allen's engine room tele-
graph, and also a tell-tale, to announce the direc-
tion of the engines, by Messrs. Ravenhill and Co.,
who supplied her engines. Her Armstrong guns
are all on board.

The Lizard, 3, paddlewheel tender to the Formi-
dable, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir G. R. Lambert,
K.C.13., Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, arrived
at this port yesterday from the North, where she
has been engaged during the season in the protec-
tion of the Scotch fisheries.
A notification has been received at Sheerness
dockyard from the Admiralty reminding the officials
at that establishment of the dates on which
the vessels now fitting at Chatham and Sheerness
for the steam reserve are to be completed,
and directing that every possible exertion is to be
used to have the vessels completed and fitted by the
time stated, the whole of them being required for
foreign service.
Admiralty instructions have been received by the
authorities of Sheerness dockyard, to the effect that
new regulations will shortly be issued regarding
the examination of candidates for engineer appren-
tices. The age of admission of boys to the factory
department is to be from 15 to 16 years, instead of
from 13 years nine months to 15 years, as at pre-
sent. No more candidates are to be placed on the
list who are not of an age within the new limita-
tions, and those whose names have been put down
must wait until they are of a proper age.
The mechanics employed in the saw-mills at
Chatham dockyard have commenced cutting out the
kelson for Mr. Reed's new armour-clad frigate the
Lord Warden, which is to be laid down under No.
7 shed, and will be taken in hand as soon as a suf-
ficient number of the workmen are released from
the iron frigate Achilles. For several weeks past
the drawings, plans, and moulds for the new vessel
have been in preparation at the dockyard, under
the immediate superintendence of one of the official
sent down for that purpose from the office of the
Chief Constructor. As these are now in an advanced
state and a considerable portion of the frame is
already cut out, no delay whatever will arise in the
commencement of that vessel as soon as the ship-
wrights can be removed from the other vessels on
which they are now employed. The Lord Warden,
like the
Royal Oak, will be constructed almost en-
tirely of foreign oak, and already an immense quan-
tity of Italian and African timber is piled up on
each side of the slip on which she is to be built.
The construction of the Lord Warden will in-
augurate a new era in the building of armour-
plated frigates, and, as Mr. Reed expects his
vessel to be superior to every other ship of
the class yet completed, her progress will be
watched with the keenest interest. The most
important particular in which she will differ
from all other vessels of war will consist in her
being provided
with an armament at her bow, as
well as at her broadsides—an important feature now
for the first time acknowledged as being an abso-
lute necessity in modern warships. She will carry
her armament of bow guns en flute, and in order to
strengthen this part of the frigate, rendered the
more necessary from the weight of that portion of
her armament and the heavy strain whiCh will arise
from the concussion of her guns, the solidp

A heavy loss to the underwriters at Lloyd's and
the Marine Insurance Company to the extent of
£lOO,OOO by the foundering of the new iron ship
Scinde has just been reported in the City. The
Scinde was only launched last year from the yard
of Messrs. Pile, Spence, and Co., of West Hartle-
pool, and left England for Kurrachee, with a cargo
of railway iron, in the course of last October. For
her return voyage she took on board a valuable
cargo of coffee and other East Indian produce at
Calieut, on the Malabar coast. She was dismasted
in a hurricane on May 15, and put into the Mau-
ritius, where she was docked for a month and re-
paired. On July 5 she resumed her voyage to
England, having on board Mr. Shankland, vice-
consul of the United States, and Mr. Hoare, pas-
sengers. On the 29th ult. the ship is reported to
have sprung a leak, and at 7 o'clock, after washing
the deck, the pumps were tried, and 13 inches of
water were found is her. The ship was than in lat.
46 30, long. 28 10-1,200 miles from the land. The
numps were kept going, and at 11 30 all hands
put to them, and remained until 2 30, when they
left to get some dinner. On recommencing 2 feet
5 inches were found in the ship, and the water was
fast increasing. It being thought that the leak
was in the forepart of the ship, Capt. Shrewsbury,
the commander, got out the cargo stowed there, but
it was ascertained that the leak was in the main-
hold. As it was believed that the ship was fast
settling down sail was shortened, the ship got to
windward, and the boats got ready. The long
boat was stove getting her out, and at 8 o'clock
p.m. the vessel began to sink fast, and it is stated
that there was only time to put a couple of bags of
biscuit and a keg of water into the three boats.
Captain Shrewsbury lowered his wife, two children,
and two passengers from the spankerboom and over
the stern into a boat, all the crew, numbering 24,
getting into the other boat. All hands left the
sinking ship at 11 o'clock, and by burning blue
lights the Swedish barque Erica, Captain Nossen,
from China to Liverpool, bore down upon the boats,
and took on board the whole of their occupants,
and landed them at Queenstown. The cause of the
ship springing such an extensive leak is not ex-
plained, and it is conjectured that she must have
experienced straining on the voyage out with her
heavy cargo of railway iron.

Society for the Prevention of Infanticide.

A meeting of the members of this society WAS
held yesterday, at the offices, 16, Craven-street,
Strand, for the purpose of considering the best
means to be adopted to surpress the evil in con-
nection with which the society had been established.
Mr. J. O'Neill occupied the chair. The Chairman
commenced the proceedings by reading a paper
having reference to the present state of the law as
regarded child murder. He contended that an ap-
plication should be made to Parliament for an addi-
tion to a clause in the Act relating to capital punish-
ment, which would enable juries to return verdicts
of guilty, with extenuating circumstances, in all
cases where a mother had killed her child in or
before the agonies of unaided parturition could
have subsided. That system was adopted in France
and worked well. The case to be dealt with was
one of temporary insanity, and as in such cases cul-
prits were respited from the penalty of an ordinary
murder, so he thought should that act of mercy be
conceded to females under the circumstances he had
indicated. He argued, also, that the recommenda-
tions to mercy under the present system were un-
certain in their results, and the frequency of ac•
quittals, originating in humanity, encouraged crime.
The truth of that opinion was made manifest every
day, and therefore it was he made the present 1
posal. Mr. G. Brooke complimented the chairman.
on his paper, but considered that one of the_o :a's
causes of the present prevalence of infanto becamei° d
the poor-law system. The poor girls 7b the work-
unfortunate, instead of finding a shelter in
