lishments cal the Coasts ot England, FAotland, and Irelandb.-

tor which services 82 Gold ll.ledals, 733 Silver Medals, and
£17,9.00 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tior4 has also expended £75,380 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-carriages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 125 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 9.—We have had a very
quiet market in both yarn and cloth, for which
buyers as well as sellers were somewhat prepared
by the previous tone of the cotton market and the
reports to hand as to the state of the money market.
Some private letters received by merchants speak of
the disturbed state of the money market in terms
much more calculated to excite attention than any-
thing which appears in the journals. The only
effect which these letters have had so far has been
shown only in the caution of buyers, who have ab-
stained from business to a great extent to-day. In
yarns there have been very 43ve sales, especially for.
export, and recent encouraging accounts from India
seem to have failed in giving any impulse to busi-
ness for that quarter. In prices there has been no
change, and the market closes firm, at the quota-
tions of Tuesday. In cop yarns there has been no
change, since Tuesday's prices are steady, with only
a very moderate business offering. In cloths the
demand for all quarters seems to have been declin-
ing as the week has progressed towards its close,
and to-day we have had very little demand, so that
few sales have been possible. There has been some
little inquiry of a general character, but even in
such cases buyers seem to be less inclined to give
the prices required than they were on Tuesday.
On the other hand, manufacturers and holders of
cloth are alike firm in price, and there is no apparent
disposition among them to make any concession
on the quotations of Tuesday last. Concession, in-
deed, seems hardly probable in the present position
of producers. Many of them are well engaged,
stocks on hand are light, and the bareness of the
market becomes more apparent every day: Buyers
must become cognisant of this in making their in-
quiries, from the diffivalty they find in placing
contracts where they are unwilling to submit to
acc'ept delivery of the goods at a distant day. There
are some few 'exceptional cases in which goods have
been prod'aced for which there is not much require-
ment, and in such instances a slight weakness may
be discovered; but they are very few.
CARDIFF, Oct. 9.—There is a large business doing
in the steam coal trade, and the house coal pro-
prietors are also better off for orders. A meeting
of principal persons interested in the steam eoal
trade has been held, and, in consequence of the in-
creasing demand, it was determined to advance
prices ls. per ton. It was also agreed that a rise
should be granted to the men in November. The

for London, with a full general cargo and 20 pas-
sengers, put back to the Sound this evening. On
the 2d inst., 16 miles north of Lisbon, she passed the

half-past 2 this afternoon observed her Majesty's
ironclad ships Warrior and Devastation five miles
south-west of Start Point, and shortly after the flag-
ship Edgar and frigate Emerald 15 miles south of
the Breakwater, all under steam, bound to Spithead.
Wind, S.S.W.; blowing strong.
The Hector, 32, iron screw frigate, will be un-

copper, examining her valves, &c. After this the
dock will be held for the service of the Warrior and
Resistance iron frigates, and other ships of the
Channel squadron now hourly expected at Spit-
head from Devonport.
A 40 foot launch is being fitted at Portsmouth

months so prominently brought before the notice
of the Admiralty and the public by Messrs.

serve, the vessel was in charge of Commander Arthur
Barrow, of the Cumberland ; Mr. W. Rumble, in-
spector of machinery afloat, and Mr. G. Blaxland,

the working of the machinery. The performance
of the vessel was fully equal to the greatest expec-
tations regarding her, and was indeed all that could
be expected. She attained a true mean speed of
6.721 knots an hour, with 18.16 revoluticns of en-
gines per minute; pressure of steam, 13; load on
safety valve, 13 ; vacuum, starboard, 26 ; port, 251, ;
draught of water, 15ft. 1 lin. forward, 15ft. 10min.
aft ; diameter of wheel, 20ft ; immersing of floats,
2ft. 2in. The circle was turned at full boiler power
in sm. 305., helm starboard 33 degrees, diameter of
circle 460 ft. ; the half circle was turned, with helm
starboard, 30 deg., in train. 20see ; with helm port
30 deg.. in 2min. 22sec. 0 wing to the rough state
of the sea (the force of wind being 7 to 8), no trials
were made at half boiler power. The Salamander
returned to her moorings in Sheerness harbour the
same evening, and is now awaiting the pennant.
She has been fitted with Allen's engine room tele-
graph, and also a tell-tale, to announce the direc-
tion of the engines, by Messrs. Ravenhill and Co.,
who supplied her engines. Her Armstrong guns
are all on board.
The Lizard, 3, paddlewheel tender to the Formi-
dable, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir G. R. Lambert,
K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, arrived
at this port yesterday from the North, where she
has been engaged during the season in the protec-
tion of the Scotch fisheries.
A notification has been received at Sheerness
dockyard from the Admiralty reminding the officials
at that establishment of the dates on which
the vessels now fitting at Chatham and Sheerness
for the steam reserve are to be completed,
and directing that every possible exertion is to be
used to have the vessels completed and fitted by the
time stated, the whole of them being required for
foreign service.
Admiralty instructions have been received by the
authorities of Sheerness dockyard, to the effect that
new regulations will shortly be issued regarding
the examination of candidates for engineer appren-
-1 tices. The age of admission of boys to the factory
department is to be from 15 to 16 years, instead of
from 13 years nine months to 15 years, as at pre-
sent. No more candidates are to be placed on the
list who are not of an age within the new limita-
tions, and those whose names have been put down
must wait until they are of a proper age.
The mechanics employed in the saw-mills at
Chatham dockyard have commenced cutting out the
kelson for Mr. Reed's new armour-clad frigate the
Lord Warden, whicA is to be laid down under No.
7 shed, and will be taken in hand as soon as a suf-
ficient number of the workmen are released from
the iron frigate Achilles. For several weeks past
the drawings, plans, and moulds for the new vessel
have been in preparation at the dockyard, under
the immediate superintendence of one of the official
sent down for that purpose from the office of the
Chief Constructor. As these are now in an advanced
state and a considerable portion of the frame is
already cut out, no delay whatever will arise in the
commencement of that vessel as soon as the ship-
wrights can be removed from the other vessels on
which they are now employed. The Lord Warden,
like the Royal Oak, will be constructed almost en-
tirely of foreign oak, and already an immense quan-
tity of Italian and African timber is piled up on
each side of the slip on which she is to be built.
The construction of the Lord Warden will in-
augurate a new era in the building of armour-
plated frigates, and, as Mr. Reed expects his
vessel to be
superior to every other ship of
the class yet completed, her progress will be
watched with the keenest interest. The most
important particular in which she will differ
from all other vessels of war will consist in her
being provided with an armament at her bow, as
well as at her broadsides—an important feature now
for the first time acknowledged as being an abso-
lute necessity in modern warships. She will carry
her armament of bow guns en flute, and in order to
strengthen this part of the frigate, renderednthoe.
