Royal National Lifeboat Institution,

A meeting of this institution was held yesterday,
at its house, John-street, Adelphi—The Right Hon.
the Earl Percy, M.P., president of the society, in
the chair. There were also present Thomas Chap-
man, Esq., F.R.S., Captain Sir E. Perrott, Bart,
G. Lyall, Esq., M.P., Admiral W. H. Hall, C. 8.,
F.R.S., W. H. Harton, Esq., Admiral McHardy,
and Richard Lewis, the secretary.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been
read, a reward of £l3 was voted to the crew of the
Whitby lifeboat of the institution, for putting off
through a very heavy sea and saving 15 persons,
including the captain's wife and a lad, 12 years of
age, from the screw steamer Ocean Queen, of New-
castle, which was wrecked on the rocks off Whitby,
on the 19th ult. A reward of £5 was also voted to
the crew of the lifeboat of the institution stationed
at Rosslare, County Wexford, for going off and
rescuing the crew of six men from the lugger Peep
o' Day, of Wexford, which was totally wrecked
during a strong wind from the E.N.E., on the Dog-
ger Bank off that place on the 21st ult. A reward of
£4 10s. was likewise granted to the crew of the
institution's lifeboat of Fowey,Cornwall, for putting
off and remaining alongside the Hanoverian galliot
Eintracht, which was in distress on a lee shore in St.
Austell B ay, during a verystrong wind fromS. E. on the
30th ult. Rewards amounting to £22 17s. were
also granted to the crews of the lifeboats of the
institution at Pembrey (Llanelly), Cemlyn, Port-
rush, and Cahore for different services during the
past month. Various other rewards were also
granted to the crews of shore boats and others for
saving life from shipwreck on the cast of the
United Kingdom. Payments amounting to £BOO
were ordered to be made on various lifeboat esta-
blishments. The meeting expressed the deepest
regret to learn of the death of Admiral R. Fitzroy,
F.R.S., and their sincere sympathy for his widow
and children. The gallant admiral had been a
member of the committee of management of the
institution for many years past, and was in every
way a valuable coadjutor in its humane work.
Lady Martin had forwarded to the institution a
contribution in memory of her brother the late
Admiral Sir Byam Martin, K.C.B. The Duke of
Leeds had also sent the institution a liberal annual
subscription of £lO, and £7 Is. 3d. had likewise
been received from the Rev. W. Ll. Benyon, M.A.,
after sermons preached by him in Seale Church,
Surrey. During the past month the institution
had sent new lifeboats to Sunderland and Dunbar.
The cost of the Sunderland boat had been raised
in the town and county of Derby by Thomas
Roe, / Esq., the mayor ; William Peat, Esq.,
and other friends. The lifeboat was sent to Derby
en route to its station, and a great demonstration
took place there on the 22d ult., on the occasion of
naming the lifeboat. Public demonstrations had
also taken place at Sunderland and Dunbar, on the
arrival of the new lifeboats at those places. The
institution had also sent a new lifeboat to New
Quay, Cornwall, to replace one previously there,
which had become unfit for service. The several
railway companies had, as usual, readily given free
conveyances over their lines to the lifeboats to their
respective stations. The institution had sent a
beautiful model of its lifeboat and transporting car-
riage to the Naval Department of the South Ken-
sington Museum. It was stated that the institution
was taking active steps to provide our seamen gene-
rally with a cheap and efficient lifebelt for use on
shipboard in cases of shipwreck. The Board of
Trade and the Commissioners of Customs had pro-
mised that their officers at the outports should ren-
der every assistance to the institution in carrying
out its benevolent object in this respect. It should
here be stated that much credit is also due to Mr.
Charles Kilburn, of Richmond, for publicly calling
attention to the necessity of providing our seamen
with a cheap and handy lifebelt on his own plan.
The proceedings then terminated.

VENETIA.
TURIN, 111 A-r 1.
The Opinione contains the following intelligence
from Venetia :

" On the 21st inst. the telegraph offices were kept
at work by the Government all day long. As
many as 19 telegrams were despatched, all concern-
ing notices received of insurrectional movements,
which, according to the Venice police, were to have
taken place yesterday.
"To-day, after the Easter vacation, the Univer-
sity of Padua was reopened with a most strategical
innovation—viz., one of the three doors that always
remained open during the scholastic year, that lead-
ing to the Contrada delle Beccherie, was closed, and
all circulation between the Via di S. Lorenzo and
the great entrance was prevented, by means of a
solid iron railing. This arrangement constrains all
who enter to pass out by the same door, and the
building of the university is thus divided into two
parts. By these precautions the tranquillity of the
university is secured ; however, I shall soon be able
to give further details on the subject."
