Felling. The consequence was that his head came in con-
tact with one of the buttresses and received a very severe
fracture. On the arrival of the train at the Central Station,
the injured man was conveyed to the Infirmary, where he
now lies without hope of recovery.--Newcastle Chronicle.

PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROJI

SHIPWRECK.

Yesterday airmeeting of the Royal National:Life- -
boat Institution was held at its house, John-street,
Adelphi-,---Mr. T. Chipman, F.R.S., in the -elair.
Mr. Lewis, the secretary, having read the minutes
of the previous meeting, fi re* ar it, of £5l was voted
to .the crew .of the Pakefield lifeboat, which-is in
connection .with the National Lifeboat Institution,
in acknowledgment' of their gallant conduct in
rescuing, at great peril to their lives, eight of the
crew of the barque Joints; which' was wrecked dur-
ing .a heavy gale of wind on the Newcombe Sands,
on the ith ult. The lifeboat's brave crew have_ also
received sill stantial acknowledgments fir their ser-
vices from elsewhere. A reward of £l6 was also
voted to the &Orr of the Institution's lifeboat,sta7
tioned at Dungeness,. in acknowredgipent of their
gallant services during the dark and stormy night
of the 19th- ult., in • putting .off' .with the view of
rescuing the crew of the brigantine Jane May, of
Falmouth, which was totally wrecked off No. 2 Bat-
tery. ...Finding, Ithwever, no boats onr)the
and concluding that the crew had left in them
for the shore, the 'lifeboat returned to land after
some-hours of incessant and-perilous toil. A reward.
of £1 11)3: was also toted: to. the crew of the so-
ciety's...lifeboat stationed. at Llanddwyn, on the
Anglesey coast,. for putting off in her during, a
heaNT•gale of wind with the view of rescuing the
crpwq the fiat Uncle Tom, of Runcorn, which had
.a flag of distress flying. Some of the lifeboat's
crew hewing, boarded the vessel, afterwards assisted
her in .getting under weigh and in brinsing her to
a place of safety. The thanks of the institution,
inscribed on vellum,- was voted to Mr. G. C. Jones,
'.',F.hiefpfAcer of coastguard, and £2l to hig crew, for
• going.MY in the Skerries lifeboat to the rescue of
the crew afthe schooner Mary, of Carnarvon, which
was during a heavy gale of wind wrecked off Bal-
briggan on -the- 9th nit A whale boat, however,-
manned' by men, was carried over the
iocki leeWircl.of the vessel, and in comparatively'
smooth. water .succeeded in reaching the wreck and
in taking off her exhausted crew, just as the life
bout had -after two- attempts; Overcome the princi-
pal difficulty in weathering the point. - - A large
Aubscriptipn had beega colfectO locally to reward
whale-boat's crew, to whom were -also voted the
Vhanks of the institution on vellum. It is impossible

ndequatoly to describe the courage and self-devo-
tion of those brave men Who constantly man the
lifeboats. In the dark hour of the night, when the
tempest, lightning, and. thunder, are enough to appal
the stoutest. heart, -these. men. are . at. their post of
duty, and it is worthy of record that, while scores
of poor creatures have been saved from a Watery
' grave the 'society has not had to lament the loss of
a single-man,. lthough . its .lifeboats are constantly
engaged in the most perilous nndertakinfp. A new
lifeboat was ordered to- be built for Fleetwood, on
the Lancashire tout: • • The• institution had. sent

during tlle past month-four new lifeboats to bestal
tioned at Cromer.. and gaeton (Norfolk), Fraser,
burgh, and Dundrum .Bay...iit was stated that the
receipts of the institution,censidering its extensive
sphere of operations, were comparatively limited,
but - that the. .demands' on its funds were
very heavy,.. but. that . .the oomtnittee were
compelled, in order to meet: the same, to
sell a portion of the society's small funded capital ;
it is therefore manifest that-if the, -National Life-
boat Institution =3a tO .......... present, high po-
sition as one of the.most. important :and useful of
our national societies, - :the Aid.of the benevolent;
should-be liberally extended to it. it was reported,
that a lady who-has on former occasions liberally
cOntributed to the institntion had presented to it
again £l5O towards the cost of a lifeboat, the same
to be named-after a bit;tl;c:.-w-ho'ivia a sailor, and
who had ofteiLteen. inatimnental inStivinglifefrom

on the unceasing:attention- of the -chairman, Mr.
Chapman,, to the great interests of this institution ;
and Mr: Petike was thanked for-an excellent draw-
ing of a lifeboat Suitable to ,localities where few
boatmen are resident. An interesting report was
read by Capt., Wahl, R.N., the inspector of lifelooats
to the institution, on -his recent inspection of the
lifeboats of the society stationed on-; the- east and
north-east coasts of England. TWO eases of reit:mei-

THE ALLEGED DESECEATION OF IIIE
DEAD AT_AM:3I,ARTIN'S ptEMETERY.

THREATENED -MOT,- AND DEPUTATION. _1
...TO THE SECRETAItY OF 'STATE-.
Yesterday, in consequence of the publicity given,.
to the disgusting anadilgraceful-proceedings being
carried out under-the -sanction -of the- churchwar-.
dens and other authorities of
_St. gaxtin's Cemetery
at Camden-Town, Piatt--streef,-Cinden=street, fog
the neighbourhood, was thronged throughout the
day by thousands:- of persons, :and . but for the
attendanie: of a strong body-of. police there is no
doubt but a serious riot would have ensued. Dur-
hig the morning the saui disgt.Sting prciceedings
described yesterday were continued by the band of
roughs _and-navvies , employed to 'pursue the work
of desecration. Through the boarding the fellows,
who were plentifully supplied with gin and beer,
were seen pitching human skulls and bones about
in the' most -offensive -way, and the proceedings
were continued until between two and three o'clock
in the afternoon, when -the-incensed public could
bear the- outramt'e..upquLhituNitnity. no- longer:: A
considerable. pertion.. of -the) boarding was torn
down, and the --men2emploved -iii' desecrating the
dead were assailed with volley after volley of stories,
aid the shouts and-execrations 'of the public. rent
the air. The navvies ling at last unable to work
from the missilei thrown, suddenly-made..-a sally
amongst-the:crowd, and several people.were injured.
One poor boy had his eye nearly cut out by one of
these brutes, and 6m-eyed to the hospital. The
stench at the-time was abominable. Shortly before,
four o'clock, howeverit he navvies-struck, some . stat-
ing that they. hail ju.st.:•discovered that instead of
81._a: day, •-whichthey had been promised, -they were
only to receive 33: 4d. or 3s. fid: for their filthy and
loathsonie_labOur. _ " .others attributed it to fear, in
con4quence of one or two Irishmen, whose rela- '
tives were buried-OW-the' spot,- declaring that they
would be off and brill!). bet Ween 500 and GOO Irish
labeUrrS; who would soon stop the proceedings.
The entire neighbourhood was in an uproar, and
great opprehensions..are . entertained that unless
stopped, the iiirther progress of such conduct on the
part of the ttitherities wilt breed a riot.
Whilst thiS.';'3,s progressing at the ground, a
numerous deitifa.4cin, consisting of the churchwar-
dens of St. IYU4ra Mr. Wilson, member of the
Metropolitan Board; Mr. Ferrer, Mr. J. Collins,
Mr. Nodes, vestryman; • with Dr. Hillier, medical
officer of health, and a number of the inhabitants,
waited- upon the Secretary, and saw Mr. Harly, the
Under-Secretary of State,- who expressed regret
that that officer .W no power to stop .such dis-
graceful proceedings,, • but -advised an immediate
application: for . injunction-.-to the Court of
Chancer 7. It _was st2ted that. the St. Martin's
authorities had obtained powers-to 'build over this
plitceb repreSenting to-Parliament that there were
no bodies in it.' It was Ultimately agreed that Mr.
Churchwarden Caineron be requested to make out-
the - necessary • affidavits for an injunction in the
Clianeery Court this day, and the parties will also
have to appear by sunitnens-htfore -the Clerkenwell
police magistrites.: • `:.
