THR SHIPWRECKS OF 1853.—From the Admiralty re-
turns recently printed io appears that in the year 1853
there were 832 vessels wrecked ou the coast and in the
seas of the United Kingdom. Of these 360 were totally
wrecked, 70 were sunk by collision, 386 were seriously
damaged and had to discharge their cargoes, and 28
were soriously damaged by collision. The greatest num-
ber of wrecks, 123, occurred in December, and the fewest,
26, in June. 253 wrecks occurred on the east coast of
Great Britain, 76 on the south coast, and 130 en the
west coast ; 81 wrecks took place on the coast of Ire-
land ; 6 vessels were cast on shore at Scilly, 11 at the
Channel Islands, 3 at Orkney and Shetland, and 12 at
the Isle of Mae. The remaining 260 wrecks occurred
in the surrounding seas. The loss of lives during the
year, as far as has been ascertained, amounts to 989.
There are 108 lite•boat stations, and 131 mortar and
rocket stations in England ; 7 stations for life-boats,
and 15 for mortars and rockets in Scotland ; 10 sta-
tions for life-boats, and 22 for rockets and mortars in
