APPEAL. The Committee of Management have to state that, since he beginning of the year 1850, the Boyar National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Establishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number Society. and other means, since its formation, is 12,800; of lives saved by the Life-boats of the tor which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, slid £.16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institution nas also expended £67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-can iages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past tew years, a support which has enab' ed them to establish their present magnificent fleet at 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classs of their to perpetuating so A them in u holdin,, and great and truly tefulry acknowledge the following connationat a wor . countrymen tributions • tier West,- the Queen  Yesterday a further attempt was made to throw some light upon the deaths of two persons, which occurred under extraordinary circumstances at Wolverhampton and Dudley respectively. It will be remembered that the woman who was found a worm-eaten cot pse in an empty house at Dudley, and who was supposed to be the woman who lived with the deceased man Cheenery as his wife, and who was the last, person seen in the house where his murdered body was found, was, after the coroner's inquest, buried without any post-mortem examination having been made of her body. Capt. Segrave, the chief constable of Wolverhampton, and Mr. T. M. Phillips, the coroner for that borough, both desired that she might be exhumed, and they applied to Mr. Robinson, the coroner for Dudley, to issue his order for the exhumation. That gentleman, however, having completed the inquest, could not comply with the request. At the inquest on the body of Cheenery, which was further adjourned last week, the evidence still left a doubt on Mr. Phillips's mind that the woman found at Dudley was the woman Steadman, who must undoubtedly have had a hand in the murder of her paramour. That gentleman therefore made an application to the Secretary of State for the Home Department for his order to exhume the body and to submit it to a post-mortem examination. That order was received yesterday, and witnesses were sent over to Dudley from Wolverhampton, including the mother of Cheenery, to endeavour to speak to the body being that of Steadman or not; and surgeons also went over to make the post-mortem examination. When the ctffin was opened identification from the features was utterly impossible, but the height and build of the corpse were quite those which characterised Steadman. The identification of the clothes, was however, complete, most of the garments which were s upon the woman when she was found, and in which was interred, being sworn to as those which Steadman had l essrs. accustomed to wear. The surgeons, who were surgeon °l2ebeen Nesbit and Mr. Keogh, the latter the senior of the South Staffordshire Hospital a ts was don© in the il'olverhampton, then commenced their examination. d the inquiry was charnel-house of the Dudley ondent left Dudley. being proceeded with when oueremcoerrt-04,  The Drought and Seat of the Season.
