the bankrupt. Subsequently, the bankrupt married
the female who had been divorced, and then became
• bankrupt, his ohief creditor being Mr. Crowther,
the injured husband. This gesUensan opposed the
bankrupt's passing, on the angular ground that he
had contracted the debt of £4,000 (Um darner* m
the divorce cies), without reasonable hope of being
able to PAY it. Commissioner Hill allowed this
rot, to enelth eitth him, and the bankrupt, much to

was caught in a falsehood, unfolded the tale, and
the father added " mune" to the "lambs and

growl di-
nionstratioo took place at Marlborough, on the occasion
of the minting and preratation of the "Royal Wilt-
shire" Lifeboat, the est of which haP been collected in
the county by Captain N. J. Reed, RN, of Marlborough.
Early in the morning the town manifested great interest
In the humane undertticing ; and when the lifeboat,
mounted on Itol transporting carriage, was drawn through
the town by • team of line horses, gailydecorated, thou-
sands of people followed the oremenon, whittle was
headed by a band of music. The lifeboat having been
brought back oppoeite to the Townhall, Captain Reed,
RN., on behalf of the oonnty of Wiltshire, presented
the boat to the National Lifeboat Institution. He said
that it was a proud day for him to asaist in presenting
the society with so splendid a lifeboat on behalf of the
county of Wiltabire ; end he felt assured that emey one
prompt wished the lifeboat is Gad speed." (Closers)
Richard Lewis, Esq., Barrister-at-Lew, Secretory of the
National Lifeboat Institution, then acknowledged tde
gift of the lifeboat in an appropriate speech. He
said that be felt mewed the crew of the life-
boat at Dover would always distingui4 themselves
I in the "Royal Wiltshire" when the hoar of need came.
(Hear.) He referred to the remarkable fact that last
winter the neighbouring lifeboat at Itamegate had
saved 120 minors from two shipwrecks on the Goodwin
Sands, during an awful midnight storm. The Idcbcate
of the inettotion rescued on an average between 400
eind 610 persons every year; and altogether, since the
eate,blabinent of the society, nearly 14.000 shipwrecked
rola@ had bean rescued through its instrumentality.
(Cheers) He then proceeded to thank Cept. Reed in
very oordia: terms for his valuable and zealous coopera-
tion, aided as be bad been by Mr.. Reed and their
daughter, Mrs. Kelm. (Cheers.) Entering the naval
profeerion en the day that the great Nelson fell, Capt.

dangers of the deep.—Tbe Rev. T. W. Dowding then
pronounced, in suitable and knpressive terms, • bone'
diction on the lifebood—Mrs. Keen, in the unavoidable
abeence of the Marchionese of Ailesbury, proceeded,
atudat the hearty atc`amatioes of the people, to name
the boat "The Royal Wiltshat." Captain Reed'e com-
pany, numbering about fifty persons, afterwards ad•
