ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—Yes -
terday a meeting of this institution was held at its
house, John-street, Adelphi, Capt. Sir E. Perrott, Bart.,
V.P., in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting
Ihaving been read, a reward of a 10s. was voted to the
crew of the Lowestoft lifeboat in connection with the in-
stitution, for putting off in reply to signals of distress, and
assisting, in conjunction with a steam tug, to save from
destruction the brigantine Light of the Harem and her crew
of four men. The vessel had struck on Gorton Spit during
a strong gale of wind and thick weather on the 15th ult.
A reward of £4 10s. was also granted to the crew of the
lifeboat of the institution at Rosslare, County Wexford,
for going off and remaining alongside the barque Provi-
dence, of London, which was observed in a very dangerous
position near the north end of the Blackwater Bank during
a strong S.E. wind on the 24th ult. It was reported that
some of the earlier boats of the institution were, from va-
rious causes, requiring to be replaced. In so large a fleet
as 150 lifeboats such must necessarily be expected. Reports
were read from the inspector and the assistant inspector
of lifeboats, on their recent visit to various stations of the
1 institution on the coasts of Kent,Sussex, and Scotland.
It was decided to place a new lifeboat at Rosslare, and to
appropriate thereto the contributions, amounting to £3OO,
given by a benevolent donor under the name of " Hiber-
nia," calling the boat, at his request, the Saint Patrick.
The Suez Canal Company had ordered from Messrs. For-
restt and Son, the builders of the institution, a lifeboat on
its plan, to be stationed at Port Said. It was reported
that the Devon and Cornwall Lifeboat Bazaar, held at
Teignmouth last month, had realised to the institution
upawards of £5OO, and that to Mr. G. P. Rowell, of that
town, was chiefly due the credit of carrying it out to so
successful a termination. Payments, amounting to nearly
£l,OOO, were ordered to be made on various lifeboat estab .
lishments, and the proceedings terminated.
DOUBLE SUICIDE AT VIENNA.—A Vienna letter
in the Union says :—" This city has experienced a
sharp emotion on hearing of the double suicide of the Pro-
fessor de Stabenvauch and his wife. This high functionary
had abstracted about 50,000 fr, from the principal savings-
bank of tho capital ; not being able to cover the deficit, ho
had communicated his despair to the burgomaster. The
latter then gathered together several friends of the Pro-
fessor, and several councillors of the commune, and with
their assistance found means to raise the money necessary
to re-establish the honour of a man generally esteemed. In
the meantime, the delinquent had shut himself up in his
house in the country along with his wife, and had forbidden
the servants to wake him the next morning. At ten o'clock
his son arrived with a friend to announce to him that the
table.

whole affair was settled. Uneasy at finding the door locked,
he entered by a window in the bedroom, and found both
his parents extended lifeless on the bed. They had been
dead about ten hours ; the poison was still on the dressing-
