BOYAL librilANE 80 :PIETY.

ANDERSON.

DANUBE A IVA,
A_LYD KUSTE.ND.TIE

A meeting of the governors of this institution
was' held yesterday at the office of the society,
Trafalgar-square, Mr. Baker, treasurer, in the chair.
The minutes of the last court having been read and
confirmed, the following cases were recommended
for the award of the silver medal of the society,
and referred to the next general court :—To Capt.
Edward Hardinge, of her Majesty's ship Persian, a
son of General Hardinge, for saving a boy of his
ship who accidentally fell overboard while on pas-
sage from the Cape to the Mauritius on the 20th of
July last. It appears that on the evening of the
20th of July the ship experienced a severe gale of
wind, during which the little boy fell overboard.
On hearing his cry for help Captain Hardinge im-
mediately directed the first lieutenant to have the
ship hove to, and, running to the life-buoy, tried to
let it go. The portfire attached to the life-buoy
lighted, but the buoy hung ; a rope was then thrown
to the child, who caught it, but the headway of the
vessel dragged him under water, and he let go the
rope. The gallant captain at once jumped into the
sea in his uniform, and succeeded in reaching the boy
and holding him up for some time, but the windblow-
ing heavily, and there being a very rough sea on, he
was obliged to relax his hold ; he, however, again
grasped him by his hair, and ultimately saved him.
To Lieutenant W. R. Kennedy, R.N., of her Majes-
ty's ship Wasp, for saving John Sier, ablebodied sea-
man, who accidentally fell overboard at sea ; and to
Win. F. Harton, medical student, for saving Matilda
Broadhead, who attempted suicide by jumping into
the river Shannon, Banagher, King's County, on
29th August last. Thanks on vellum were awarded
to Lieut. G. L. Sullivan, R.N., of her Majesty's ship
Exmouth, for saving Thomas Burke, able seaman,
who accidentally fell overboard in Suda-bay on
Sept. 24th. Leut. Sullivan has already had the
silver medal of the society awarded him. The bronze
medal was recommended to be awarded to the fol.-
lowing :—To Mr. W. C. Shuckburgh, midshipman
of her Majesty's ship Sidon, for saving Private D.
Hutchinson, Royal Marines, who fell into a dock at
Mauritius on July 22d ; to Thos. Scott, acting boat-
swain, and Private Thomas Sanger, Royal Marines,
of her Majesty's ship Sidon, for saving Richd. Ford-
ham, able seaman, who was blown overboard in the
act of reloading a gun at the island of Mohilla on
May 21st; to Thomas Hall, boy, of her Majesty's
Rolla, for saving a boy in the same ship who was
knocked overboard by a sail at sea on October 9th;
to Charles A. Evatt, midshipman, for saving John
McDonald, who fell into Bullock harbour, Dalkey,
near Dublin, on September 11th; to Jas. Haining,
blacksmith, for saving Mary Bryden, who acciden-
tally fell into the river Kinnel, Dumfriesshire, on
October sth ; to Thomas L. Harris, clerk, for saving
Eliza O'Shea, who attempted suicide by jumping
into the river Liffey, Dublin, on October 7th ; to
Wm. Vince, fisherman, for saving George Baker,
fisherman, whose boat was swamped by the sea off
Ventnor, Isle of Wight, on October 15th ; and to
James Watson, fisherman, for saving a mariner who
fell from the pier into the harbour at Dunbar on
November 7th. Thanks on parchment were awarded
to James G. Bryant, draper's assistant, and a mem-
ber of the 4th Tower Hamlets Rifles, for saving
Emily Giddens, who fell into the Newlßiver, High-
bury, on October 6th. Pecuniary rewards, amount-
ing to £4, were also given for other meritorious
conduct, but of less importance than the above, and
some routine business having been disposed of, the
proceedings terminated.

SHAKESPEARE AND PROFESSOR

AN IMAGINARY CONVERSATION.
BY E. 2. H. WALTER. SAVACkE LANDOR—Secunclus.
Time—Midnight. ,Locgtiotitrkikk,lphia.
Shakespeare (stopping sncideitly ph fr4llAf rudependence
Hall to look at the poster announainiXrftiiko Anderson's
last sin nights in Philadelphia)—" What black magician
conjures up this?"—Richard 111., Act 1.
The Professor (hawing, respectfully)—The "Wizard of
the North"—your servant, moat illustrious shade f Such
posters were unknown to you in the days of the old Globe
Theatre. The world has moved on since then. This is
my last weak in Philadelphia. My children and I have
our benefits coming off._ I am about to introduce some
new wanders ; and I can do it, you know.
Shakespeare.—(Timon of Athens ; prologue.)
" Ay, that's well known :
But what particular rarity ? What strange,
Which manifold record not matches? See
Magic of bounty I All these spirits thy power
Hath conjured to attend."
The Professor—lt has, great poet ; and a nice time I
have had with these same spirits. Your own Prospero,
you remember, was troubled with only one Ariel, one Cali-
ban, and one Trinculo. I have had double tltat number to
take round the world with me ; commanding their services
before kings and princes in all parts of the earth.
Shakespeare—(Astonished.) (Winter's Tale, Act 5.)
"O ro7ai piece,
There's magic in thy majesty I
And thy admiring daughter I"
The Professor—So the world says, great dramatist,
Oblige me, if you please, by reading the list of wonders I
have prepared for my last week.
Shakespeare—(Smiling compliance, reading and becom-
ing astonished.) (Othello, Act 1.)
" What conjuration and what mighty magic I
In faith' tie strange—'tie passing strange I"
The Professor—You would say so, if you could but spare
two hours on earth to come and see me. Oh, if I could but
get you to write me a bill I I have been thinking of calling
uponthe Spiritualists to find a mediurawho could command
your presence and solicit you to aid me. Only I have had
my fears that Charles Knight and Payne Collier would call
in question the authenticity of your spirit .writing.
Shakespeare—(Shaking his head.) (Hamlet, Act 1.)
" But this eternal blazon must not be."
The Professor—l suppose not. You could not do it to
oblige. I know there are many difficulties in the way. I
hope, however, that the nature of my art, partaking as it
does of the thaumaturgic rather than the necromantic,
would be no bar to your kindness. My entertainment is
composed of—
Shakespeare (Hamlet, Act 3)—" Thy natural magic and
dire property."
The Professor—Precisely so, immortal bard. Your words
are most apt. Oh that you would write me an advertise-
ment I You know me well enough to do it, if you might.
I am sure of that.
Shakespeare (As You Like It, Act s)—" I know you are
a gentleman. I speak not this that you should bear a good
opinion of my knowledge, insomuch I say, I know you are ;
neither do I labour for a greater esteem than may in some
little measure draw a belief from you to do yourself good,
and not to grace me. Believe then, if you please, that
(like you) I can do strange things. I have since I was
three years old conversed with a magician most profound
in his art, and yet not damnable."
The Professor—Yet magicians were thought to be so
when you were three years old, most illustrious bard.
Opinions, however, have changed : as, for instance, I had
three thousand of the fairest and best of citizens visit me
nightly for three weeks in New York, and I have had fif-
teen hundred a night come to see me in Philadelphia. Some
at 50 cents and some at 25 cents.
Shakspeare ( Winter's Tale, Act. 5) (With profound
admiration.)
