ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTI-

TUTION.

The annual general. meeting of the friends and
supporters of the Royal National Lifeboat Institu-
tion was held yesterday at the London Tavern,
Bi,hopsgate-street ; his Grace the Duke of North-
umberland, P.C., President of the Institution,
occupied the chair. The meeting was influentially
and numerously attended. Amongst' those present
were Thomas Baring, Esq.' M. P. ; Thos. Chapman,
Esq., F.R.S. ; Sir Edward Perrott, Bart. ; W. H.
Marton, Esq. ; Admiral Sir W. H. Hall, K.C. B. ;
Colonel Fitzroy Clayton, Dr. Nolloth, R.N. ; Chas.
Lemon, Esq., Admiral Tarleton, C.B. ; P. Maaghan,
Esq. ; _ Suttoa Sharpe, Esq. ; Samuel Lovelock,
Esq. ; Captain De St Croix, Captain Toynbee,
R.N. ; C Twin De Carrso ; Dr. M. Hamilton,
R:N. ; captain the Hon. F. Maude ; J. A.
Dow, Es 1.; Admiral Goldsmith, C. 8.; Captain
; C. N. Ne!son, Esq.:; Admiral API-lardy,
Captain Symons, R.N. ; Captain Ja-man, R.N.R. ;
Harrison, Esq. ; C. H. Maltby, Esq., and several
other gentlemen. After some few introductory re-
marks, the noble chairman observed that it was to
him a source of peculiar satisfaction to preside ovtr
so large and important a tneetfngt ; and, after allu -Hug
to some of the salient points in the report, which
elicited much applause at the meeting, he called
on Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary to the in-
stitution, who then read the- annual report. It
stated -that' since the 1 st report twenty-one new
lifeboats had been, or were about to be, placed on
the coasts of the United Kingdom and the Channel
Islan.ts. Carriages and boathouses had been like-
wise provided for nearly all the boats. The institu-
tion had now two hundred and twenty lifeboats on
the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Chan-
nel Islands. During the past year those boats had
rescued no less thanB7l persons from various wrecks,.,
nearly the whole of whom were saved under circum-
stances which would have precluded their being saved
by any ordinary boat. Happily the craws of the
lifeboats continued to feel such great confidence in
them that it was occasionally difficult to repress the
eagerness with which men rushed forward to man the
boats. The storms of last year were unusually
violent, and the shipwrecks, as an inevitable result,
very numerous ; yet the noble and successful efforts
to save life on these occ 'dons were very noteworthy
and encouraging. All the great lifeboat ser-
vices last year were accomplished without the
sacrifice of a single life amongst the brave and deter-
mine .1 men who worked our Lifeboat Fleet. Attention
was directed to the continued efforts of the Board of
Trade in maintaining and extending the Rocket
apparatus on the coasts of the United Kingdom. The
cordial co-operation of the Admiralty, of the officers
and men of the Coast Guard service, of the local
branch committees and honorary secretaries, and of
our. coast boatmen and fishermen, was also acknow-
ledged. In addition to the 871 lives and 33 vessels
saved exclusively by the lifeboats of the institution,
360 lives were,rescued last year by fishing boats ant
other means on the coasts aunt outlying banks of the
United Kingdom. For these joins services 38 slyer
medals, and votes of thanks on vellum, and £2,705 in
cash were granted. The number of lives saved
during the forty-six years from the establishment of
the Institution in 1824, to the end of the year 1869,
tither by its lifeboats, or by special exertions for
which it had granted rewards, was 19,080.
Since the formation of the society it had expended on
lifeboat establishments and other means for saving
life from shipwreck £240,000, and voted 90 gold and
811 silver medals for saving life, and pecuniary re-
wards to the amount of £32,300. The total amount
of receipts during the year 1869 had been £40,409
15s. 3d., and of that sum no less than £12,117 Os. 4d.
were special gifts to defray the cost of 19 lifeboats.
The total expenditure of the soci ty in the same
period, including liabilities, had been £34,303 Os. 9d.,
leaving a balance of upwards of £G,OOO to be added
to the funded capital of the institution. It is mani-
fest that a society like this, which needs a permanent
income of at least £20,000 a year to keep up its great
fleet, must have a large reserve fund to meet even-
tualities, and to secure in perpetuity a continuance
of its great andnationalwork. Upwards of 20 legacies
of various amounts had been bequeathed to the saciety
during the past twelve months. The items of receipt
and expenditure were detailed in the financial state-
ment annexed to the report, audited annually by a
public accountant. Again, the committee reminded
the friends of the institution of the noble life-saving
fleet of 220 lifeboats which it had now un ier its
charge, requiring, as it did, constant supervision to
talci:c cc t dully its great mission, and needing
the continued s atli and support of

TIIE GODRICII DIVORCE CASE AGAIN.
/TUESDAY.
The Godrich divorce case seems to ue as far off its
conclusion as ever. It was the cause of quite a scene in
the Divorce Court this afternoon. Mr Bayford, for Mrs.
Godrich, applied for the enforcement of an
order to enable his client to see the children.
An affidavit was produced stating that the
lady saw them on a certain day in the company of Mr.
G-odrich, sen., and counter affidavits were filed, alleging
that such was not the case.—Mrs. Godrich is to be prose.
cuted far perjury at the Guildhall to-morrow for this
affidavit.—Mr. Bayford stated that the children had been
taken from the school where they were placed •at
Havre, so that Mrs. Godrich should not see them.—
On hearin,-, this, Lord Penzance had Miss Hall
who was alleged to have taken them away, brought before
him, and questioned her as to where the children were.
Miss Hall- refused to tell, and said she would sooner to
committed for contempt of court, and Lord Pen-
zance ordered a warrant to be made out for
her commitment, and also granted a rule calling
on Mr. Godrich sen., who was stated by Mrs. Godrich to
have been seen in the company of the children, to shew
cause why he should dot be committed for contempt. Mr.
Godrich was soon after in court, and was brought forward,
and said that Miss Hall knew where the children
Where. Miss Hall wrote down the name of the
place on a piece of paper ; but his lordship
refused to keep the name secret. Miss Hall was then
removed from custody, and the rule against Mr. Godric4
was discharged. His lordship made an order that the
children should not be removed from the place they were
now, and granted an order of the court that ldrs.
Godrich should see them.

The Liberte says that the rumours respecting a
division in the French Cabinet on the subject of the ap-
pointment of a Plenipotentiary to the Council are entirely
without foundation.

TEiIIiZIANTHIS LAND BILL IN IRELAND:—
The Dublin correspondent of the Globe writes thus of the
reception of the Land Bill in Ireland :—" During the last
few days I have passed through several of the southern
counties, and have made it a special object to sound the
different classes I met with as to their opinions of the
Government Land Bill. Two classes I found invariably, in
favour of the theasure—lavgers and attorneys. They both
assert everywhere that it is a perfect measure—as it is,
from their point of view. Landlords I find generally
opposed to the way in which the subject has been dealt
with, though admitting that some change was neces-
sary. 'Tenants and peasants, on the other hand, are
very cautious in expressing any judgment. They are not
able to comprehend its probable working, but yet hear
enough from tenant-leaguers and farmers' clubs to
cause them to suspect something. The exkressions of
opinion which have emanated from the various associ-
ations through the country differ, perhaps, in the exact
form of their complaints, and in the grounds on which
they base their opposition, but are unanimous in
condemning a measure which, while introducing new
provocatives to disorder, does not remove the old grieT•
fsces."
A Alumni:it ON UNCLEAN FACES.--Henry Ward
Beecher is again writing for the New York Independent.,
In his last article he discourses characteristically as
follows :—I wish the poor would speak to me. I cannot
remember all my church, certainly not all my Sunday
schooL But they never try without finding lam glad for
one. I have the same form of trouble that you have,
Brother H.—pride. I know all the inns and out of
that. But I can truly say there is no person so poor
nor so lowly that it does not give me more pleasure
to have them speak to me than it does them. I
never have children speak to me on the street that it dos
not make me feel good all the day long. It is not trouble-
some to me to be interested in a clean face. I like the
self-respectful, decorous poor, who aro my equals, and
often my superiors. That is no trouble. It is these dirty
and often lousy things that I find it difficult to see the
faster in—this dirty boy who halloos after me •

SUNDAY TOYS FOR CHILDREN.—The Pall Mall
Gazette called attention a few days ago to an inquiry made
in the columns of the Queen as to "unobjectionable Sun-
day toys for a child aged fourteen months." It now com-
ments on a letter in which the writer actually takes up
the subject seriously, and describes an admirable state of
affairs in his own nursery. No Sabbath breaking there.
Ho has a number of wooden bricks and a Noah's Ark. To
use his own words, " With these bricks and animals we
illustrate Scripture narratives. Last Sunday even-
ing we had Rahab letting the spies down from
the wall. On a former occasion we had the con-
version of St. Paul. In one corner of the table was
Jer isalers ; in the opposite corner D,anauscus, with `the
strict called Straight,' and Ananias just going into his
house. Next Sunday 'we shall have the disciples in the
Lake of Galilee. The tablecloth will form the water, and
will be arranged for the occasion in waves." The Pall
Mall Gazette suggests that the writer might carry out the
idea still further by illustrating Scripture texts in his own
stating et ;car
itenmA e
person. For instance, he might improvise a pit, get into
S.
it himself witli a chair to represent an ox, and lot his
ahilaren mill them both out on a Sunday evening.
SWIMMING EXTRAORDINARY.—Tho -Worth British
Daily Mail gives an account 'of a great swimming gala
which has taken place in Glasgow. " The great feature
of the evening," it says, was the wonderful performance
of Professor Jefferson, champion 300 yards swimmer of
England, who is styled the " Man Fish" on account of
his extraordinary feats of natation under water. The
Professor took the water with hie clothes on, and.,
after swimming about for a short time dived
reappearing in 26} seconds fully undressed, lie
sEwealltohweend
under water, ate a sponge cake in 10i
a gill of milk in 15f seconds, and smoked
.for 7 seconds..
His other performances—somersault throwing, swimming
with legs elevated above water, diving a length of the bath
with hands and feet tied, &c.—were all cleverly done, the
audience testifying their appreciation of his abilities by
bud applause.

had been instructed to support Djemil Pasha in
his efforts to realise in Paris the loan for the
construction of Ottoman railways. The Memorial
Diplomatique believes the report, as it is natural that
Austria should take an interest in Turkish railways
•
since as soon as the Ottoman Empire is connected
with Europe by rail, the Eastern question is
likely to enter a new and probably pacific
phase. The French Government is said to favour
the loan, the only reason for forbidding the official quota-
tion on the Bourse being the provision of the law of
lotteries, respecting loans with premiums. The propriety
of bringing the new obligation under this law is being
discussed, and meantime the stockbrokers have been
informdd that their operations will not be interfered
with.

THE MANCYNESTIII AND LONDON LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY,—Vice-Chancellor James has had before him
two petitions for the winding-up of the Manchester and.
London Life Assurance and Loan Association. The
society was formed in 1852, and transferred its business in
1861 to the Western Assurance. The Western in 1865 was
amalgamated with the Albert. One of the petitioners was a
policyholder named Thompson, who had no notice of
the transfer to the Western_,beyond what was afforded by
the price of receipt. The Vice-Chancellor held that the
want of notice precluded the policyholder from abandoning
his contract, with the London and Manchester, and
adopting
a new contract with the Western. The case
fell within that of the Family Endowment Society, and
must be an order for winding up the company on Mr.
Thompson's petition, the Albert liquidators to take their
costs out of their own fund. .
