ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.

The seventy-ninth annual dinner of this admirable
institution took place yesterday at the Freemason's
Tavern, the Right Hon. the Earl of Powis in the chair.
The company was very numerous. After the usual
loyal toasts, the chairman proposed the health of the
Duke of Norfolk, and prosperity to the Royal Humane
Society. He urged in warm language the claims of so
beneficent an institution to the support of the public.
Among other circumstances, he stated that during the
last year 273,000 persons had bathed in the Serpentine,
of which number 20 had been rescued by the officers of
this society. During the nine weeks' frost which they
had recently experienced, 110,000 persons and upwards
had amused themselves upon the ice. Of that number,
229 were rescued by the officers of the society, and only
one case had proved fatal. It was very much to be
desired that all inventors of apparatus for the prevention
of loss of life upon the water, or upon the ice, would cause
a complete set of it to be forwarded to the Exhibitions of
London and New York, for investigation ; and he trusted,
as a collateral object, that they would interest themselves
in the support of the Irish Exhibition, which promised
to prove eminently serviceable to the future prosperity
of Ireland.
The toast was received with the greatest enthusiasm,
and afterwards came the interesting ceremony of. pre-
senting medals to the various persons who had been the
means of rescuing human lives from drowning. Accord-
ing to the usual custom the individuals whose lives had
been saved, passed in procession round the room, fol-
lowed by the various persons to whom they owed their
preservation.
The musical arrangements, under the direction of
Mr. Hobbs, gave the greatest satisfaction.. Miss Emma
Phillips, Miss Fanny Rowland, Mr. Francis, Mr. Hobbs,
Mr. Cummings, Mr. G. Buckland, and Mr. H. Phillips,
took part in them. '
Mr. Harker was as efficient as usual as toastmaster,

MANCHESTER V. OXFORD.—The return scullers' match
between Cook, of Oxford, and Ault, of Manchester, for
251. a side, was rowed on the Irwell on Monday last,
when Cook again beat Ault nearly as easy as at Oxford.
Another match was rowed at the same time between S.
Davis, of Oxford, and Dawes, of Manchester, two supe-
rior scullers. It was a capital race till within about 70
yards of the winning post, when Dawes retired, and
victory was again declared in favour of the Oxonian.
