SEAMEN'S DEATHS.—From a return just made by
the Board of Trade to Parliament, it appears that
that department has during the past 13 years received from
all parts of the world notices of the

causesyear.
On

O 0 0 and
shipwreckedn the
averaging
of
h,6
persons are placed annually in
peril of their lives; but, happily, owing to the prompt and
unceasing exertions made by our lifeboats and other means
coastso
52seamen,
seas
on occasions of shipwreck, the actual loss of life from such
disasters last year did not exceed 450 lives. When it is re-
membered that the loss of life from shipwreck on our coast
v geths7aot gratifying year, every friend of humanity must re-
iGi and encouraging fact. Other coun-
tarieecrsea in
are unfortunately not so well provided with simi-
lar means to save life from shipwreck as our own,
but lifeboats on the plan of the National Lifeboat
Institution are gradually being supplied to most maritime
countries. Last week three of them were sent to France,
and others had previously gone to Russia, Prussia, and
Holland. The moans for saving life on shipboard are
lamentably deficient, and this remark applies both to the
Royal and Mercantile Navies of England. The National
Lifeboat Institution is now, however, using every effort to
introduce a cheap handy cork life-belt, to be kept on board
ships, for use for any emergency. It is hoped that similar
measures will, ere long, be taken to improve the boats
of our mercantile marine, by providing them with lifeboat
properties.
[ADVERT/SBMENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—Fluttering of
the Heart.—This may be a temporary inconvenience, or
the certain prelude to ulterior mischief. Those purifying
pills address themselves directly to the cause of palpitation,
dispel flatulency, and regulate all derangements of the
nerves and circulation, besides acting as general tonics
and invigorators of the system. The feeble and infirm,
who are subject to fiuttermgs, faintness, and hysterical
affections, will derive permanent benefit from a course of
Holloway's pills, reduce every vital action to order
which
—not even excepting the brain and its many sensorial off-
shoots. Perfect reliance may be placed upon theSe pint;
as a family medicine; their purifying, tonic, and aperient
dowers
commend them to the attention of all ouptgitencl-
mg the young and delicate.
