New Lifeboats.

The National Lifeboat Institution sent on Wed-
nesday two new lifeboats to the coast. Each bql.""
is 32 feet long, rowing 10 oars. The boats possess
the powers of self-righting, self-ejecting the well.'
and the other essential qualities to be found in
class lifeboats. One of the boats is to be stationed:
at Wexford, and is named the Civil Service, its COsb
being the handsome gift to the institution of gen- ,
tlemen connected with the civil service of the Cron
the fund having been mainly collected through tilci
indefatigable exertions of James A. Dow, Esq. 1,413,
Malcolm Goldsmith, Esq., of the Admiralty. The
institution has another• lifeboat at Wexford, whic,,
is named the St. Patrick. The second lifeboat is to
be stationed at St. Ives, on the Cornish coast, art,
named the Moses, at the request of a benevoleilv
lady residing in the county of Durham, who 1135
given the institution the cost of this and three other
lifeboats. Her boats have already saved a large
number of shipwrecked persons, and her former boa
at at St. Ives, which this new one replaces, performed
last winter some of the noblest services ever accom-
plished by a lifeboat. One vessel was a French
schooner, which was wrecked during a fearful st°l:loli'
-
on Hayne Bar. Although the lifeboat was twit
v
upset, and the crew thrown into the sea, yet tille;ja
twice regained the boat, and nobly persevereq
their efforts until all but one of the French Cret,
were in their boat, that one having perished in a
tempting to reach the lifeboat. The Great Western'
and other railway companies, readily gave a Ifthea
conveyance over their 'lines to these boats, o,`„,
coast ; and Commodore Tarleton, °J.-a
troller-General to the Coastguard, kindly perrelt'ej
the Wexford lifeboat to be towed from New Milf°drd
to its station by a revenue cruiser. We n'l3Y ia6B
that. the National Lifeboat Institution has now re
lifeboats under its charge. Of these boats 18 afid
stationed on the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, ,
28 on the Irish coast.
