ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held
at its house, John street, Adelphi, Thomas Chap-
man, Esq., F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were
also present Sir E. Perrott, Bart., W. 11. Ilarton,
Esq., Sir F. Arrow, Deputy-Master of the Trinity
House, Admiral Ryder, Colonel Palmer, Admiral
M.'ll.ardy, Captain De St. Croix, George Palmer,
Esq., Captain Ward, R.N., and Richard Lewis,
Esq.

The minutes of the previous meeting having been
read, the silver medal of the society and a copy of
the vote inscribed in vellum were granted to its local
lion. secretary at Abersoch, North Wales, the Rev.
0. Lloyd Williams, and £42 9s. to the crew of that
lifeboat, in acknowledgment of their gallant services
in putting off i❑ the boat on the 14th and 15th ult.,
and, after much difficulty, saving 13 of the crew of
the ship Kenilworth, of Liverpool, which was '
wrecked on St. Patrick's Causeway, in Cardigan
Bay, during a north-westerly gale and in a heavy
sea. £36 was also granted to the crew of the Bar-
mouth lifeboat for going off on the 14th ult. to the
same wreck and saving eight of the crew. The two
lifeboats of the society thus saved the whole of the
officers and men, twenty-one in number. This
ship, a most valuable one, was bound to Liverpool
from New Orleans with a cargo of cotton, and her
captain, who is an American, publicly testified his
gratitude for the determined courage of the lifeboat
crew in saving the lives of himself and craw
amidst the greatest dangers. £8 Bs. were also
voted to pay the expenses of the Porthdinllaen life-
boat in bringing ashore the crew of three men
from the schooner Gronant, of Carnarvon ; £7 9s.
to the Padstow lifeboat for saving ten persons
from the wrecked barque Suez; and £6 10s. to
the crew of the Buddon Ness lifeboat for rescuing
three men from the schooner John Howard, of
Goole, which had gone on the Gaa Sands, at the
mouth of the Tay.
The Ramsgate lifeboat Bradford, in conjunction
with the harbour steamtug Aid, had saved two men
from the fishing smack Whiff, of that port, which
struck on the Queen Shoal. Unfortunately, after
grounding, a heavy breaker swept the deck, carry-
ing away and drowning two of the hands long
before the lifeboat could possibly have got to their
assistance. The Theddlethorpe lifeboat had also
brought safely ashore the crew, numbering 15 per-
sons, of a foreign vessel; and the Newcastle Dun-
drum lifeboat had likewise brought four of the
crew of the brigantine Kelpie, of Liverpool, to laud.
, Rewards amounting to £l7O were also granted

to the crews of 17 other lifeboats of the society,
for services during the storms of the past month.
Rewards were also granted to the crews of shore
boats for saving life from various wrecks.
The silver medal of the institution, a copy of its
vote inscribed on vellum, and £5 were also voted
to Mr. Edward Antis, coxswain of the Palling life-
boat, on his retirement from that office, which he
had held for many years. Ile had assisted in the
boat to save a large number of lives from different
wrecks.

Payments, amounting to-£2,500, were ordered to
made on various lifeboat establishments.

Mr. J. Robinson, jun., of Blyth, had forwarded
£2l Ils. to the institution, being the am mut he had
collected for it from seamen visiting that port; mak-
ing, with previous remittances, £4l 5s he had thus
raised in aid of the lifeboat cause. £4 ls. had like-
wise been forwarded to the institution from Messrs.
Baguall's Sunday-school Lifeboat Association at
Golds Hill, West Bromwich, organised by the Rev.
J. P. B. N. Hutton.
The Horse Guards had sanctioned the medal of
the institution presented to officers of the army,
non-cowmisssioned officers, and soldiers, being worn
iu uniform on the right breast—a record of the re-
cipients being kept at head-quarters.
A new lifeboat and transporting carriage had re-
cently been forwarded to Whitby.
It was reported that the French Shipwreck
Society had presented its gold medal to Captain
Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the English
Lifeboat Institution, in acknowledgment of hi.,

services as inventor of the cork lifebelt used by the
lifeboat crews of both countries, and of his co-ope-
ration with the French s)ciety, which had now 45
lifeboats, all being on the plan of the English Life-
boat Society, and which have already saved upwards
of 500 lives.
It was decided to station a large sailing lifeboat
at Palling, on the coast of Norfolk.
Reports were read from the inspector and the
assistant-inspector of lifeboats ou their recent visits
to different lifeboat stations.
The proceedings then terminated.

RIILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES.

GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.

The report of the directors of this company states
that their new agreement with the Buffalo and Lake
Huron Railway Company, provides for adjusting
the proportion due to the Buffalo Company up to
the Ist of July last, by the payment of £42,500 in
Second Equipment Bonds at par. These bonds are
to be deposited with the chairmen of both companies
until the agreement is ratified by the Canadian
Company to the Buffalo Company thereafter, and
in perpetuity, are to be as follows :—For the years
ending the 30th of June, before the First Equip-
ment Mortgage Bonds, £42,500 a year in perpe-
tuity; and after the Second Equipment Mortgage
Bonds, £2,500 for the year ending the 30th of
June, 1870 ; £7,500 in 1871, £12,500 in 1872,
£17,500 in 1873, £22,500 in 1874, £23,500 in 1875,
£24,500 in 1876, £25,500 in 1877, £26,500 in 1878,
and £27,500 thereafter in perpetuity. These
amounts are payable half yearly, within two months
from the Ist January aud Ist of July in each year.
The ordinary shares of the Buffalo Company are to
be exchanged, one half, or say £615,000, for a like
amount of Fourth Preference Stock; and the re-
mainder, say £615,000, for a like amount of Ordi-
nary Stock of the Grand Trunk Company. The
Buffalo Company obtain by this new agreement on
the one hand an amount of £5,000 a year more than
they would have had under the agreement of Nov.,
1868, and one-half of their ordinary share capital
in Fourth Preference, instead of Ordinary Grand
Trunk Stock. The directors of the Grand Trunk
Company, believing, after the most careful con-
sideration, that this agreement is, under all the
circumstances of the case, a desirable one, have no
hesitation in recommending their bond and stock-
holders to adopt it at the forthcoming meeting on
the 10th inst.
