REWARDS FOR. SAVIDIG LIFE. The half - yearly general court of the Royal Humane Society was held at the ollIces„ Trafolgar• square. The minhtes of the several committee meetings having been read and confirmed, Mr. Young, the secretary, read the report, which stated that since December last the number of cases brought under the notice of the society of persons having been in, clanger of drowning was sixty-three. Many were successfully treated and restored, but five were beyond recovery. During the same time five persons had been prevented from committing suicide. The number of cases which had occurred in Hyde-park during the half-year had been twenty-five, and twenty-one were restored, two were beyond recovery, and two were dead when diecovered. One person had been prevented from committing suicide. On the motion of the chairman, I the report was adopted. It was then reeolved unanimously to award the silver medallion of the society to Navigating Sub-Lieutensnt A. E. Saul and 11 Bade, ordinary seaman, of her Majesty's ship Vestal, for the following act of gallantry On the 3rd of February last the pinnace of the Vestal, in charge of Mr.Seul, and with a crew of thirteen all told, foundered off Oe pe Tanyon, on the north-west coast of Madagascar, and sank suddenly in deep water. A heavy sea was running and the ebb-tide setting off chore, the nearest point to which wee about four mile. off. Most of the boat's gear, meats, Au ,sank with her, but a few small spars and euiptv borrieme floated. Mr. Saul at first supported himself on one of these, but hearing cries and observing Oman named Suter in a digressed condition, gave up his barricoe and imam for the shore without any support. Henry Bade mu supporting himself on the sun awning, but observing a man named Richard Rowsell was sinking, gave it up to him, and he also struck out for the shore. Suter and Rowsell were, unfortunately, among those who were (oat, but thin does not detract tmom the gallant and self-sacrificing acts of Mr. Saul and Bade, as at that time there seemed little hope of reaching the shore at all. Owing to the direction of the sea, they could not make for the nearest point of land, and eventually reached a point from six to seven miles from the scene of the disaster, after being in the water for seven hours. Of the crew of thirteen, eight only reached ' the shore. The haver medallion was also awarded to George R. White for trying to save his brother, , Harry O. White, who was capsized from &canoe in the • Mississippi, and oleo to flub. Lieutenant F. 11. Boyer, of her Majeety's ship Modeete, for trying to save W. 0. Gibson, who was washed overboard in Him 6 Sinn I Roads, Japan, on a dark and tempestuous night last winter. The silver clasp was awarded to Lieutenant , Lewis E Wints (the recipient having in :867 received , the silver medal) for jumping overboard to the rescue i of John J. Maker, who fell from aloft off Tenedos on ; the 19th of December last. Some further business , having been disposed of, the proceedings terminated r with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. •

Bird held an inquiry. at the Lord Clyde Tavern, Lyndhurstavenue, Brunbrook-road, Sutton, as to the death of James Francis Mitchell, a carpenter, of Ivy-cottage, Brimbrooloroad, Sutton, His wife stated that for some time put he had been out of employment owing to ill-health, and during the last few weeks he had been deranged in his mind. On Thursday morning last she went downstairs, leaving him asleep in bed. About an hour afterwards she went up again to the room, but was unable to get in as the door had been locked from the inside. She then called in assistance, and the room door was broken open. Henry Thomas Sullivan stated that on the morning in question he woo called into the house by the last witness, who said she believed her husband had committed suicide. The witness forced the bed-room door open, and found Mitchell lying on the Boor with his throat cut, while by his side was a razor. The following note, written by him in pencil, was found on the table: "My darling Wife,—l hope you will think over the illness I have suffered and the trouble I have given you. I know that you most have been aware of the fact that I could not live many months longer, so do not upset yourself about me. When I awoke this morning my head , appeared to me as if it was the wheel of a wuggon going round and round. I turned over on my face in bed and tried hard to smother the feeling, but to no good. lat laid jumped out of bed, and while standing at the end of the bedstead I had a fearful thought come over my mind that we should soon be in distress. I could not stand that, knowing already the trouble I had caused you, darling, so I seized the rasor from off the table, opened it—l cannot say anything more, but when my body is found that will explain all. May God bless you. Give my love to all, not forgetting my sister Emily. YOUTS, JAMES Fakiscie Winfield." The jury returned a verdict, "That the decessed committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity."

THE MANCHESTER MURDER.  John dames Donnelly was lately charged on remand, before the Manchester magistrates, with the wilful murder of his sister Eli,abeth Donnelly, the attempted murder of his mother, Theresa Donnelly, and also with attempting to commit suicide. Mr. Coventry, instructed by the City prosecutor, appeared on behalf of the police to prosecote. He mid that it was as hideous a moo and or foul a murder AS bad ever been committed There could, however, be no doubt that the pri...oner was sob vet to epileptic tits: He had had several during the last . .  three years, and had been for some time an inmate in hospitals in London and elsewhere. Undoubtedly, epileptic fits had an effect in impairing the mental faculties. On slunday, the 2-th of May, the prisoner had a quarrel with hie father about some beer, and afterwards went out with his mother. They came back about twelve o'clock, when the door was found to be locked. Prisoner kicked it open, and ran upstairs. A young brother and sister, who were there in aeparate rooms, canto down undressed, but the !finer went back in a short time. The prisoner came down again and eked his father Inc a drink. His mitten way ref usesl. and he went upstairs again. Ile then asked his sister to go down Inc some water, but she refused to done I ecaneeshe was undressed. The prbotter immediately fetched his en or and in icted a number of wounds on his sister and mother. The young woman sweamed out to her father, "Oh, father ! lie io coning an to piece,' The prisoner then ran out and hid himself on the scullery slates, and his sister anal Ms mother crawled downstaire bleeding. They were taken to the infirmary, where the sister died on the following .lay. Mr. Coventry said there conld be no doubt about the murder. The only question was whether a tory would believe that he had been in a sufficiently sane state of mind to know what he was doing at the time. The father of the prisoner, Thomas Donnelly, hie brother, Aloysius Donnelly. and Police.conetable Burton having repeated the evidence given by them before the City coroner at the inquest on the body of the murdered girl, the pri oner was committed for trial. The prisoner's mother still lies at the infirmary. and has no yet sufficiently recovered to be able to give her evidence.

DISTRESSING ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Mr. Thomas Augustus White, immune, agent, of Victoria-place, Leeds, recently appeared in custody before the West Riding Justices at Leeds, charged with attempting to take away his life. Mr. White Was observed by the lodge-keeper of Roundhay-park to enter the gates of that place of recreation, under circumstances which excited his suspicion. He followed the gentleman and saw him do liberately place his hat on the bank of the Waterloo Lake —a large sheet of water used for pleasure boating—and throw himself into the water at a point where it was about Aft. deep. The gatekeeper rushol to the spot, and with the aid of two other men who were fishing, succeeded by means of a nowhook in dragging Mr. White to the bank. He had been in the lake three or four minute., was sinking for the last time when he was caught, and was unconscious. The superintendent of the police division said there had been four suicides and two attrrnpta in the same lake within the last 19 months, therefore he asked that Mr. White might be committed to the assiosa. Mr. White, addressing the court, said that for veers he had been overworkel and over-worried with businesa. Ile had lost a beautiful daughter, aged twenty years, a short time since, and a short time before that his wife died. Ile had consulted several of the leading medical gentlemen of Leeds for weak notion of the heart. In fact, his health had been completely shattered by business And domestic cares. The gaol surgeons had had difficulty in keeping him alive while he had been In custody. He could not bear further imprisonment, and therefore begged the Court to desf with him at once. The Bench committed the prisoner for trial at the assizes, the Chairman remarking that it would be cruel to allow Mr. White to be at liberty in his present condition. Bail was refuted.  - NOBODY ever thought it necessary to urge a pawnbroker to take more interest in his Inoiness.  AT the Police-court, Derby, a number of vaccination cases were recently disposed of, oniera for the performance of the operation being made in each caw. One man said he would rather have his house sold up than his child vaccinated, and another, who aerie.] a ebild in his are.., solemnly told the Bench that he would rather the child died by the hand of God from sinall.pos than by the hand of man from vaccination. Ma. HENRY Guoncit has delivered a lecture upon land.nationalitation before a crowded audience in the Lecture Theatre of the Midland Institute, Birmingham, the Rev. Dr. Croaskey presiding. Although three wae a good deal of difference of opinion on the part of the audience, Mr. George was very enthusiastically received. At the conclusion of his address he called loran eapre.lion of opinion on the question of non-compensation to landlords, and the voice of the majority mewed to be in favour of his theory.

CURIOUS CASE OF IMPOSTURE. The detective police of the G division, London, hays cleared up what at first seemed to them a most mysterious though serious allegation of attempted murder, but which is now a clear case of imposture. At 2.30 one, a man about 21 years of age was brought to the Kingsland-road Station by a constable. He was Man eshausted condition, and bleeding from a wound in the arm. The assistant divisional !surgeon examined him, and reported that he considered the womds—bullet wounds had been self-indicted, the position of the bullets, two in number, making it impossible that it could be otherwise. In a long stdement which the injured man then made, however, he said that he had been shot by another man. He told the officer that he returned home to a house in St John's-road, Shoreditch, late at night, and before going to bed counted up the money which he had collected during the day for hie employers, a large grocery firm. This money (£2O) he placed beneath a pillow, and also put there a revolver, which, he was positive, contained but one charge. During the night he wax aroused by a noise, and saw a man leaving the room. He pointed the revolver at him and fired, but the shot missed, and the other then fired two shots. These, he said, caused hie wounds. The police were sent for, nude inquiries, and examined the premises. The injured man's wife said that during the encounter she borst open the bedroom door to call the police. Detective-inepector Peel and Inspector Parker, however, could not discover the slightest trace of a burglary, and the bedroom door also was uninjured. Had • burglary taken Dime, the person entering could not have reached the scene of the alleged shooting without breaking the doors. Moreover, a bullet was found in the banister of the staircase, and from its direction the inspectors thought it impossible it could have been fired by a man facing the injured person. In the meantime the 0011ey collected for the man's emp'oyers was not wholly recovered. The injured man, who is still confined to hie bed, has just confessed that the whole of his story W. a concoction to deceive the police, and thAt he had himself inflicted the wounds. It is not considered necessary to charge him with attempted suicide, as other proceedings against him are being considered by his employe».
