A Gam) Cazaitoar hes been arranged for the recep-

and the wail:Sties, aspect that the procession will
Number 1000 persona. They will march to the railway
station, and the boat will be presented to the town and
received by the Ma, and will form the principal
object in the triumphal perambulation of the principal
attests, her crew being mated in her with their oats is
their heads. It is lakeside& should the weather permit.
I. have in the Bey a morel which shall chow signals of
distress, and the eoastguard will project lines over her
by means of the rocket apparatus. 'the lifeboat is to
be named by Lady Ashley the "Agnes Harriet," and
will be launched from the Sands at high tide aad
rowed to the relief of the supposed &crested crew.
Me will be also sweet by mechanical means, and dntszelaz
her self-righting powers. All them Interesting p
Japers to come off to-day (Tuesday). The lifeboat 1143 feet
laws, might feet wide, sad rows 10 oars double-banked.
It had its harbour trial slew days sines in the Regent's
Canal Llock, London, when the 'lanai qualities of
stability, selfrigliting, and coil-ejecting of water, were
fully sod satictactorily tested. The water shipped, when
the Immit was by mesas of a crane, was self-
ejected in about 25 seconds. The boat was built by the
Messrs. Forreett. of Limehouse. The society is much
indebted to R. G. Cheeseman, Eaci., collector of customs
mid the other gentlemen of the local committee for their
valuable cooperation in the organisation of this lifeboat

LITEZBIT IIIaTITIMOII.—An excellent lecture on
"Light-boom" was delivered on Wednesdey evening
last, by the Rev. P. P. Eliot, of Bournemouth. The
sadism included a great many ladies, and the lecturer
was listened to wit% much Interest. G. Andrews, Feet,
was in the chair, and expemed the great pleaenr• Ira
felt in Introducing Mr. Eliot. The subject was mu.
Early uppropriate for the occasios, so seer to the
launching Si tb• saw Weymouth lifeboat, and the
Chalrotau observed that Mr. Eliot's treatment of the
subject would no doubt be highly appreciated. The
lecturer meritioned among earlylightdmeses, the Pharos
of Alexandria, which oost 800 talent'. In 1515 Henry
VIII. incorporated the Trinity•house, and poisons who
chose to erect Light-home on the mast, were allowed to
levy tolls from passing ships, and in the reign of
James 1., one was built at Dungeness'. At Rye it was
the custom to show lights to Team!, entering the port,
sod one was ahem on Araadel tower. no French
built a light-liouse at the month of the Omuta. in 1010.
The rooks at the Eddystose had been the setae of many

wreck of the Hesperus, which Kr. Eliot be.utifully
rented. Winstanley's Rudyatt lightbouses were then
described, and their Ulm told, the' Bret being destroyed

erespleted Si 1759, and has atead ever sines. Tbe

He elicited an exhortation to manliness from
the perseverance shown in constructing those light-
houses, and added that the gentler sex might ham •
webier ambiti,ut than trying who sushi wear the smallest
pockets and the largest cliienona. Mr. Eliot proceeded
to describe the light-Aim 47 in number, and gave
interesting information on the methods and varieties of
lighting. There are now 357 light-houses, 47 light-shim,
and 261 beacons around oar mat. Mr. Eliot applied
the lemons taught by his subject, practically to the
hearts of his audience, and concluded amid much
applause. We understand that the institution will
again be favoured by Mr. Drew with his popular lecture
on "Our Home in the Stare
