LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

SCARBOROUGH, Sunday Night.

The lifeboat of the National Institution stationed
at this port was the means, this morning, of rescuing
one man from the stranded smack Howard of
Grimsby, J. Cooper, fitted for the Iceland fishery,
The smack was at anchor just outside the Outer
Buoy, when, about 11.45 a.m., she began to drag
her anchor, owing to the surf that was breaking
round her. A few minutes afterwards she struck,
and knocked her rudder off. It seems that the
master and all the crew, with the exception of
one man, were on shore. The lifeboat was manned
and launched, and took off the man. The smack i. now
covered with water, and will probably become a
complete wreck. The cost of this lifeboat was the
gift to the National Institution of Mrs, Cockroft, of
Scarboro'.

The last remaining of the County Shipwreck
Associations, viz., that in Lincolnshire, has resolved
on uniting itself to the National Lifeboat Insti-

tution.

Ale sander Kay, Esq., of Glasgow, has decided
on pre. senting to the National Institution £4OO, to
pay th,e cost of a lifeboat and transporting carriage,
to be stationed at Gir van, on the Ayrshire coast.

Gra tt progress is making with the Clifton Bridge,
the road way being rapidly laid.

A STUNtGEON CAUGHT AT ROTHERBITHE,—On
Saturday .morning, about half-past six, as a man
named Perca val, the foreman of the labourers at Acorn-
wharf, Rother hithe, was at work on one of the barges lying
off the wharf, I.is attention was drawn to the ducal fin of
some large fish which was above the surface of the water,
A. boathook was at band, and with the assistance of that and
a rope, together with the crane on the wharf, he succeeded
in landing what turned out to be a very fine sturgeon. It
measured 7ft. 2in., and weighed lcwt, 111 b. In the
course of the day it was taken to the Mansion-house and
presented to the Lord Mayor.
A NEW BLIGHL—A new kind of blight has just
made its appearance in Italy, It attacks orange and lemon
trees, young ones especially, It manifests itself under tha
lanai of a kind of sore, if we may use that expression ; a
pungent icier 00/426 out of it; and in course of time the
plant withers and dies. No remedy hes as yet been found
for this diso4se,--Gatignani,
