As these pirates of Corea have for 11 long time been guile, of a senes of similar cruelties against the seafaring people of all nations, our Government ought at once to take stems effectually to punish them. The National Lifeboat Institution in England. — We clip the, following interesting paragraph from the Home News, January 3(5: “ The returns of the National Lifeboat Institution tor the year just closed afford conclusive proof of ran valuable results accomplished by this very earnest aud energetic society. During the twelve months the lifeboats of the institution have saved 15 vessels and 381 lives from destruction at sea, while rewards have been granted for saving 495 lives by fishing aud other boats. It is an evidence of the prompt aud ready action of the lifeboats of the institution, that in 122 eases they either assembled or put off in reply to signals of distress from ships which eventually did nut require their services. During 15!5!5 the institution expended £29,667 ou its 172 lifeboat stations on the coasts of the United Kingdom—the total amount thus expended since the institution was first established having beta £160,409, besides the rewards for saving life.”
