ISLE OP WIGHT mrsipars.

Ever since the fearful shipwrecks, attended
with much loss of life, which led events took place
last year, the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight have,
in eenjunction with the Ro'al National Life-boat 'esti.
tntion and the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, been
meet sedulously striving, by voluntary contributions, to
eetablish lifeboat stations slues the more dangerous parts
of the coast of the island, the scene of so noisy melancholy
disasters, and it is this week our pleasing duty to record
the accomplishment of this moat desirable and truly philan-
thropic undertaking. Two substantially-built houses for
the lifeboats, with resuscitating rooms adjoining, have been
provided, the one at Brook and the other at Grange. After
the arrival of the boats at their respective stations overland,
the local committee assembled in the resuscitating-room, at
the Brook Lifeboat Station-house, for the purpose of
choosing a crew and launching the boats. The chairman,
Mr. Seeley, having requested the hon. secretary, Rey.
Pellew those, rector of Brooke, to read the list of names of
fishermen and others volunteering to form the crew for ser-
vice in the lifeboats, eleven volunteers answered on their
names being called over, the whole of whom were intro.
duceol ; and, being welcomed by the committee, the men
muml themselves on one side of the room, when the
chairman kindly addressed them, requesting that they would
select from among themselves one in whom they could place
the utmost confidence for their coxswain. They mend-
, mously elected John Hayter, and for the second or anis.
taut coxswain, William Cooper. The Lifeboat Inspector to
the Royal National Lifeboat Institution then explained to
the crew their relative defies and position, urging the ne.
cessity of obedience to the command of their coxswain when
on duty, for by discipline, good order, and sobriety, their
exertions in the time of need would be doubly effective.
The committee adjourned to the shore, accompanying the
boat on its carriage drawn by homes, and when at the
water's edge, ready for launching, the crew having equipped
themselves in the lifebelta, and a large number of spectators
standing around, Mrs. Seeley took the bottle of
wine, slung for the occasion, and dashing it against the boat,
said, "Success to the Dauntless." Mr. Seeley and the
honorary secretaries, the Rev. Edward M'All, and the Rev.
J. Pellew Gaze, with the crew, amidst much cheering, en-
tered the boat, which readily glided from her carriage into
the element on which it is loped she may be the means,
under Providence, of saving the lives of those who may
unfortunately be wrecked on this coast. The committee
and visitors afterwards adjourned to Grange, where, at
half-past 2 o'clock, • similar ceremony took place, but on
this occasion Lord Heytesbury was in the chair. After the
wointinent of the crew, their coxwains, James Burkett and
William Merwood, being unanimously elected, the Rev.
Edwd. hl`All remarked that it was a great pleasure to him.
self to bear testimony to the orderly, honest character of
the man the crew had elected for their coxwain. The Rev.
gentleman had known Buckett for a period of upwards of
20 years, and he could also boar testimony, though gained
by sad experience as an eye-witness, that nearly the
whole of the eleven men he saw before him had
distinguished themselves in the cause of humanity by
hasurdi their own lives when endeavouring to save the
lives of their fellow men. Such men, he felf sure, with the
moms now provided by the National Lifeboat Institution,
in conjunction with their own exertions, would be, by God's
help, of the utmost service in the hour of need. The boat
was then eonveyed on her airriage to the sands, and after
a short pause, the silence was broken by the chosh of •
bottle agehist the bow of the lifeboat, and Lady Hey-tes-
bury, wishing success to the Royal Victoria. Yacht Club
lifeboat Rescue, seemed as it were the signal for sponta-
neous heartfelt cheering, whilst hundreds of handkerchiefs
betokened the response, both from far and near. Eighteen
penman, including the crew, were seated in the boat on
her carriage at the time of her launch, when she readily
bounded into the water and became as lively as a galley.
Every one who witnessed the doings of the day felt satis-
fied that a moat effective lifeboat establishment on the
coast of the Isle of Wight is 11:10W a reality, and it is most
sincerely hoped that the usefulness of these all-important
undertakings will not be retarded for the want of funds to
defray the n incidental expenses, as • small yearly
contribution from the many will enable the committee at
management to carry out matters which from time to time
may be considered to be most desirable for their efficiency.
Who can tell that he or she may not shortly be truly
thankful for the assistance rendered by a lifeboat and her
gallant crew, either for saving their own life or that of
some dear relative or friend.

ACCIDENT TO LADY COSMO RI.IHRELL.—As Vis-
countess Lismore, accompanied by her sister, Lady Como
Russell, way taking &drive on Sunday last in a low phaeton,
the horse, shortly after leaving her residence, took fright,
and turning violently round th coachman was thrown from
his seat. The animal, finding himself free, started off at
full speed, and making a rush at the iron gate of Farn-
borough-park, the present residence of Lord Lismoro, the
lodge-keeper endeavoured iu vain to stop his progress, the
horse turued suddenly to the left up a hill, and on slacken-
ing slightly hie speed, Lady Cusmo Russell, in endeavouring
to get out, was thrown with much violence on the mad'
severely rut about the hands and face, and much shaken.
Lady tiistuore, with great presence of mind, kept her seat.
At the top of the hill the animal dashed the carnage against
a wall, breaking it to piecon, and Lady Lismore WWI extri.

vices, members of the legal and medical professions,
showeth,--That au extmonlinary crime, and as far as we
know a crime unique and unparalleled in the 1001114 of this
country, was committed en the 29th of June hie at Road,
in the adjoining county of Wilts. That as living in the
immediate ueighbourhood our attention hay been specially
clinetel to it. That a miscarriage of jastace has
oceurred through the defective manner in which the
coroner's inquest was conducted, that inquest having been
closed after one sitting without any attempt to amertam
and name the murderer. That in consequent* of this
Samuel Saville Kent, his family, and household have never
been examined and crows-exammed. That the condition of
the doors, windows, and fastenings of the house prove that
Roadhouse was not forcibly entered from outside during
the night. That, therefore, the murderer was an inmate
of that house, or was secreted there fur the purpose, and
that his accomplice* before and his acceesones after the
fact are to be sought in that neuision. That Mr. Kent's
household are, therefore, collectively responsible for that
murder, and that the innocence of no one of them is to be
assumed. That, nevertheless, the inmates of that house
have never been examined. That we, therefore, humbly
pray you to greet a special commietion for the investigation
of this crime, as the ordinary mean, have entirely failed-
That • special commission is an unusual procedure, but
that the cruno is extraordinary and unparalleled in its ells-
meter and circumstances. oa_r Wa, therefore, pray you to grant
such special commission." The Sherterne J,,urnat nays :
"'she nursemaid, Gough, left her situation on Saturday
last, we nusleistand before her time had expired. Con-
trary to the wish of Mr. Kent and the fatuity, her father
mere for her, and she returned with him London.' The
police are still engaged, but nothing has transpired to leave
a shadow of hope that the murder will be discovered..
ttagg, the self-accuse :it murderer who was discharged by the
magistrates, was mut off to London by the 3rd idles train
on Thursday, the magistrates having, with supewfiuous con-
sideration, paid his fare for him. Mr. Kept was at From,
last week, iu his capacity as inspector of factories. This is
the first time Mr. bent has creoased his functions since the
shucking catastrophe to his family."
CASE or THE Ray. B. memorial LO the
Home fikeretary, praying for a remission of the remaining
term of the senteare nu this clergyman, has been nume-
rously and influentially signed in Bristol. Mr. Smith, it
will be remembered, was convicted at the Gloucestershire
ing assizes of 183f1 of an aggruvated assault on a Mr.
Leach, and was lieutenant to four years' pmal servitude.
In the meantime his family have been reduced to greet
distress, and, as it is believed there were same mitigating
circumstances In the case, the memorialists urge that the
penalty already suffered is a sufficient punishment for the
offence of which Mr. Smith was found guilty.— neat.
