New LIPRIOATS.—The National Lifeboat Insti-
tution has just sent to Exmouth, Devon, aline new life-
boat, mounted on a transporting carriage. The boat is
32 feet long, 7 fret 4 inches wide, and 3 feet 6 inches deep.
It possesses the usual characteristics of the lifeboats of the
institution in the way of stability, self-righting, and self-
ejecting water. The New boat replaces a 'was one at
Exmouth, which was found too small for the station.
That was the gift, eight years ago, of Lathy Rolle to the
society. The new boat is named the Victoria, after
her Majesty the Queen, in continuation of the name
borne on the old boat. The institution has also just sent
a fine new lifeboat and transporting umsge to
Blyth, on the Northumberland coast. The boat is 33 feet
long, $ feet f inches wide, and rows 10 oars double banked.
It had its harbour trial a few days since in the Regent'.
Canal Dock, Limehouse, when its self-righting and other
qualities were fully and satisfactorily tested. The boat is
named the Salford. and is the 10th boat presented to the
institution by the city of Manchester, through Robert
Whitworth, Eisj., and the Rev. E. Rowlett, and is the
second boat the Manchester people have Sent to the
Northumberland coast, the first boat being stationed at
Berwick-on-Tweed, and named the Albert Victor, after the
eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales. It will pro-
bably be remembered that a beautiful model of this lifeboat
waspresented tothePrineeof Wales when he presidedatthe
annual meeting of the National Lifeboat Institution in the
