LADVERTISEIVIENT.i—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Many persons neglect to take the commonest precaution
against illness which they are el.pesnd to—future suffering
or probable danger. Colds, coughs, and oppressions at the
chest should bo removed without delay, by rubbing this
cooling, derivative unguent twice a day upon the skin
covering the chest, and its sanatory action should be aug-
mented by the use of l!ollovay's Pills, as propounded in
their accompanying directions. Tho same means, dili-
gently carried out, will relieve influenza, asthma, shortness
of breath, palpitation, and almost every other pectoral
complaint. Bo the cause of the malady known or un-
known matters not, Hollciway's remedies are competent to
expel all corruptions from the system, to regulate dis-
ordered functions, and to restore nervous tone.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING—ThunsDAr.

Certainly the racing has been, with the exception of the
great event, wretched at this meeting. The fields have
been small and very moderate in quality, and the Grand
National has engaged ail the interest and alt"the specula-
tion. The Spring Cup used to boast of a. racehorse or two,
but to-day there was nothing but Knight of the Garter to
beat a lot of bad ones, and the exhibition in the heavy
ground, and carrying Bst 121 b, he made of his field, was a
caution. Custance never had to let hint out, and ho won
just as ho pleased. The Steeplechase Handicap only
brought out five runners, and The Doctor, with the form
he had lately been showing, of course had odds laid on
him, which he landed very easily, though if L. S. D. had
not fallen at the water jump there would, perhaps, have
been a close race for it. Chivalry was a very good thing
for the Welter Handicap, and the moderate day's sport
was brought to a,close in time for the- express to town.

Betting-9 to 4 agst Problem, 4to 1 agst Amour Pro-

Spitfire made play, attended by the favourite and Amour
Propre for a quarter of a. mile, when the latter dropped
back, and as they neared the stand Problem gave way ;
the lead was then taken by the Volition colt, who won a
good race by a neck ; half a length between the second and
third, the latter beating Lupus by two lengths.

agst Sister.to Vedette, 6 to 1 agst Christmas Carol, 8 to 1
agst Purveyor, 10 to 1 agst Feodor, and 100 to 8 agst
Honesty. _ .

A couple of failures preceded the actual start, in which
The Clown got away in advance of Sister to Vedette,
Honesty, and the favourite, clear of whom came Feodor,
Adamante, Paxton, and Nu, Christmas Carol bringing up
the rear. These positions were retained to the canal turn,
when Vie favourite, beading Sister to Vedette, drew up to
The Clown as they came along the lower ground, and
heading him as they entered the straight, came on with a
clear lead of Sister to Vedette and Adamante, the three
being several lengths in advance of their followers. At the
distance Knight of the Gartor had disposed of his followers,
came along unchallenged, and won in a canter by a couple
of lengths. Twice that distance separated the second and
third, the latter defeating Feodor by three lengths ; Paxton
was fifth, Honesty sixth, Child of the Islands seventh,
Christmas Carol and Purveyor next. Nu and The Clown
were the last two, but did not pass the post.

Wood for 46 guineas.

Betting-2 to lon The Doctor, 3to 1 agst L.S.D., and
100 to 7 agst Sincerity.
The favourite went to the front immediately the flag was
lowered, and made play at a strong pace, followed by Ata-
lanta, Sincerity, L.S.D., and Nip in the order we have
given them. As they approached the water jump they
closed up and came on in close company, The Doctor clear-
ing it a length or so in advance of Mr. Barber's mare, the
pair being followed by Sincerity, who, jumping short, fell
on landing and rolled over Ryan, who appeared much
shaken. This mishap was followed by L.S.D. coming to
grief, as he, being immediately in her wake, was unable to
avoid the fallen horse and rider, and also came to the
ground with some farce; but young Elphick, with great
nerve, was speedily upon his legs, and before his horse had
gone half-a-dozen strides had, unassisted, remounted, and
was soon following in the wake of his more fortunate op-
ponents. At the third fence Atalanta refused, and was
left a long way in the rear, her place being taken by The
Nip ; but Mr. Barber's mare repeating her refusal at the
following obstruction, she was at once pulled up, and re-
turned home. From this point the race possessed but
little interest, as the favourite gradually increased the
lead, and ultimately won by 20 lengths. L. S. D., who
headed The Nip as they came along the canal-side,
finished second, a similar distance in advance of The
Nip.

The Welter Plate of 100 sovs (handicap), by subscription
of 5 sovs each, with 50 added; winners of any handi-
cap after Feb. 22 (at 11 s.m.) 61b, twice 91b extra; if

ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTI-
TUTION.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held
at its house, John-streel, Adelphi; Thomas Baring,
Esq., M.P., F.R.S., in the chair. There were also
present Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., Lord 11.
Chohnondeley, Sir E. Perrott, Bart., Admiral Ryder,
George Lyall, Esq., Admiral M'llardy, W. H.
llarton, Esq., and Richard Lewis, Esq., secretary
of the institution.

The minutes of the previous meeting having been
read, a reward of £lB 7s. was voted to pay the ex-
penses of the institution's lifeboat stationed at St.
Ives, Cornwall, in going off during a strong north-
erly gale, and saving the crew of five men of the
schooner Gipsy, of Chepstow, which was wrecked
on St. Ives Ridge on the 19th ult. So great was
the violence of the sea that the coxswain and three
of the men were washed out of the lifeboat on the
occasion, but were fortunately enabled to regain the
boat. A reward of £8 6s. was likewise granted to
pay the expenses of the institution's lifeboat at
Irvine, N. 8., in going off on the 10th ult. and
bringing safely on shore in two trips, during a
strong wind and in a very heavy sea, fourteen per-
sons from the barque Kate Agnes, of St. John's,
N. 8., which came broadside on to the beach, about
a mile from the river's mouth. A reward of £4O
was also voted to pay the expenses of the Yarmouth
and Caiser Lifeboats, in putting off in reply to
signals of distress on the 23d ult., and saving, after
considerable difficulty, seven of the crew of the ship
Omega, of Newcastle, which during a strong wind
had stranded on the Cockle Sand, and afterwards
drifted and sank about 14 miles S.E. of Lowestoft.
It appears that the master of the Omega would not
leave her until she actually sank beneath him, when
catching hold of the ropo which the Caister
crew had succeeded in throwing on board he man-
aged to save his life, the men hauling him through
the surf into the lifeboat, a distance of some 60 or
70 yards. A reward of £9 was likewise granted to
the crew of the Moelfre lifeboat for going off
on the 19th ult., in reply to signals of distress,
and saving, during a heavy gale of wind from the
N.E., the crews of three men each of the schooners
March, of Liverpool, and Richard, of Bangor,
which stranded in Maelfre Bay. A reward of £5
2s. 6d. was likewise voted to pay the expenses of
the lifeboat at Fishguard, South Wales, in going off
during a strong northerly gale on the 19th ult. and
bringing safely on shore the crew of two men of
the smack Gloucester Packet, of Cardigan, which
had exhibited signals of distress in the roadstead.
Rewards were also granted to the crews of the so-
ciety's lifeboats at Portinadoe, Maryport, North
Deal, Buckie, Donna Nook, New Brighton, Hayle,
Padstow, Appledore, Newquay (Cardigan), South-
port, and Porthcawl, for various services during the
recent heavy gales. Various other rewards were
also granted to the crews of different shore boats
for saving life from shipwrecks on our coast. Pay-
ments amounting to nearly £2,000 were ordered to
be made on various lifeboat establishments. It was
reported that lifeboats were ready to be sent to
Broadstairs and Penarth. The Independent Order
of Odd Fellows (Manchester Unity) has presented
to the institution a lifeboat stationed at Cleethorps,
on the Lincolnshire coast. The members of the
Corn Exchange, Mark-lane, having also presented
to the institution the cost of a lifeboat, the society
had decided to name the large lifeboat at Yar-
mouth, on the Norfolk coast, " The Mark-lane," i❑
compliment to th. 3 subscribers, and since the boat
had been so named she has been instrumental in
saving life. A legacy of £lOO had been left to
the institution by the late Miss Sarah Harrison,
of Edge Hill, near Liverpool, and £5O by the late
Miss J. M. Laing, of Abergele, Flintshire. Au addi-
tional liberal contribution of £l5O had been re-
ceived p:r Mrs. Boys, from the trustees of the late
Thomas Boys, Esq., of Hove, near Brighton. The
Blackheath (Hartley) Amateur Dramatic Corps had
also forwarded to the society a second donation of
£25 143. 2d. through H. P. Duke, Esq., being the
proceeds of an entertainment recently given by
them in aid of its funds. A subscription of one
guinea a-year had been received as a token of gra-
titude from a passenger rescued, with others, by
the institution's lifeboat at Holyhead, named
the Princess of Wales, from the ship Lydia
Williams, which was wrecked off that place on the Ist
December last. The committee decided to name
the Saltburn lifeboat " The Appleyard," in memory
of the late John Appleyard, Esq., of Halifax, who
had some time since bequeathed the institution a
handsome legacy. It was stated that the annual
meeting of the institution was to be held on Tues-
day next; the 10th inst., at the London Tavern, the
Right Hon. 11. T. L. Corry, M.P., First Lord of
the Admiralty, having kindly consented to preside
on the occasion. Reports were read from Captain
J. R. Ward, R.N., the inspector, and Captain D.
Robertson, R.N., the assistant-inspector of lifeboats
to the institution,'_on their recent visits to its various
lifeboat stations.
The proceedings then terminated.
