NEWOIIAY (CORNWALL) LIFEROAT.—The arrival
of • new lifeboat on her transporting carriage at Newimay,
on the west coast of Cornwall, • few slays ago, created
amongst the inhabitants of the little town no small sensa-
tion. She entered the place in the early part of the night,
when all or most of the inhabitants of the place turned out
with lights and lanterns to have • look at the lifeboat. A
band of music was in readiness to welcome her arrival, but
it was so overpowered by the shouting and cheering of the
people as hardly to be heard. The boat will he a valuable
acquisition to this well-known locality for wrecks. The
Padstow lifeboat, which also belongs to the National Life-
boat institution, which is stationed about a dosen utiles to
the north, has often been instrumental in saving life. Last
winter she rescued in heavy storms seven men from the
French brig Gonsalve, of Nantes, and five men from the
schooner Frederick William, of Ipswich ; one of the men
of the latter crew had been previously saved by the lifeboat
of the institution at Weimer, near the Goodwin Sands. The
cost (ltO1.) of the Newquay lifeboat warn the munificent
gift of a benevolent lady to the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion. The Duchy of Cornwall and Mr. Robert.., M.P., also
contributed 251. each towards the bumium undertaking. It
Is one of the most complete lifeboat establislunents on the
Cornish coast. The lifeboat is 30 feet long, and pulls six
oars single banked ; she will self-right if upset, anal will
immediately self-eject any seas she may ship. She was
built by Messrs. Forwide, of Limelionse. The boat's trans-
, porting carriage is well adapted for its purpose, anal was
constructed by Mr. Robinson, of Camden-town, on the plan
of the lifeboat Institution. The boat sod carriage are kept
in a substantial boat-house, built from a design furbished
by Mr. C. H. Cooke, honorary architect to the society.
With the help of the same benevolent lady, the institution
has male arrangements to station a lifeboat at St. Ives, about
a dozen miles of Nuwquay, which Is also celebrated for the
freuency of the shipwrecks in its vicinity.
