IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICE.

NEW ROMNEY. KENT, FIUDAT NIGHT.
Henry Stringer, Esq., bon. secretary of the New
Romney and Guapore Breach of the Naioaal Lifeboat
Isetiadien reports ' I have much pleasure in advising
you of the valuable esrvices rendered this day by the Dun-
garee, Lifeboat of the Institution in • gale of wind sad
snow-Mono, in saving the lives the whole of the poem
gem and mew of barque Golden Fleece (? Age),
homeward boiled from the East Ladies, with a very
valuable cargo of cotton and cinnamon. The
lifeboat was afloat soon after the vessel stranded
at daylight this morning, but owing to the tremendous
surf, which at times almost overwhelmed her, it was eases
time before she could succeed in reaching the object of
assistance ; but at length she wadi socoreeful, and brought
to shore 22 passengers sad mew. The utmost credit is dos
to the oorswain and mew of the lifeboat for the cable efforts
they have made ia saving the have of their fellow-creatures.
for they were from daybreak to sunset exposed to the fury
of the gale and snowstorm, with the uncertainty whether
their own lives might not be sacrificed in their endmvours
to assist the abets." The yawl is likely to become a total
wreck. The seat of this lifeboat was presented to the Na.
Ronal Institution about three years ago by the Rev. IL J.
Hatcheroon, of Canterbury.
