L,fe-boats and peri,s OF the Sea.

A committee representing pretty fully the sci
ence and practical nautical skill of England was
some time ago appointed to examine the multi
tude of models that have been prepared for the
construction of life boats, and to prepare an au-
thoritative statement upon the subject, with the
view of mitigating the horrors which year after
year occur within sight of the British coasts
The idea was not the product governmental
wisdom and philanthropy. but originated with
the DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND, a nobleman
little heard of in the world Of politics, but whose
residence in the immediate vicinity Of the peri
lous rocks where GRACE DARLING achieved her
renown, rendered him acquainted with the in
efficiency of the means ordinarily employed in
the event of shipwreck. The report of the
committee reached us day or two ago, and we
may, perhaps, usefully devote a small portion
of our space to glance at its most prominent
conclusions.
The maritime system of Britain has been
hitherto characterized by an unaccountable dis
regard of the loss Of life and destruction Of pro-
perty which every now and then occur to star
tie the community. From an analysis Of
LLoYD's list, it appears that, from 1898 to 1929,
the British ship-owners experienced an annual
average amount Of loss of five hundred and fifty
seven vessels. In 1888, one thirtieth of the
whole number of ships belonging to the British
dominons-including the plantations-was Ell
Their wholly lost or driven on shore. In gale
on the 18th of January, 1913, one hundred and
three vessels were wrecked on the coasts of the
United Kingdom; in March, 1850, not less
than one hundred and thirty four vessels shared
the same fate; and it is stated in London Jour
nails that in the gale which happened on the
last day of August, and continued over the LIST
Of September, in the present year, there were
sixty-one vessels lost on the sands on the North
sea and on the east coast of England. We
might extend the melancholy catalogue ad IN
finitum, but we have stated enough to show the
terrible extent of the casualties to which mari
ners are exposed in the waters over which
JOHN BULL claims especial jurisdiction.
What has the British government done to
mitigate this appalling state of things? Until
within the last year or two nothing, positively
nothing. Within this period the Imperial Legis-
lature has decreed the examination Of the
masters and mates Of merchant vessels, and, I'M
der the new passengers act, has imposed an
imperative regulation as regards the carrying
of life-boats by emgrant ships; but up to this
moment IT has taken no steps to provide eff
cient means of saving life along its extensive
range of coast. In England and Wales, with
seaboard of 1000 miles, there are only sew
enty- five life-boats; with which the Nautical
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-10-01
The committee proceed to remark:

''It will be seen, by the above formula that the
committee consider it an essential requisite in
life boat that she should be good rowing boat,
able to get off the beach in any weather in which
boat can live at sea, as, without the power of do
ing this, other good qualities Of no avail. To
this, then, is awarded the highest number The
other qualities speak for themselves, and call for
no further notice beyond the general remark that
the numbers are so distributed that boat that
could neither pull nor sail well, even if she COM
bned all the other essentials of life boat could
not by this scheme, take high rank, it being con-
sidered that, if builder could construct boat to
combine stability and safety in all weathers at sea,
with speed in rowing, he would find no difficulty
in applying the internal fittings requisite to rem
der his structure good fe-boat. On the other
hand, pulling or sailing well alone would not
enable model to take high rank; and in fact,
most of the best models combine the quafca-
tons ofspeed and stability with good internal fit
tings''
Without entering into further detail, we may
add that each model was tested according to
this preliminary formula, and the result was
that the premium was awarded to boat con-
structed by Mr.. BEEcHING, of Yarmouth.
We hail these proceedings as evidence of
growing interest on the part of England in a
matter in which the mercantile community of
the whole world is deeply interested 1t is
honorable to this country that on many portions
of our coast we have set an example which
older governments may initiate with advantage;
but still we have much to accomplish in this
work of humanity, and on this account the in
formation embodied in the report before us is
opportune and useful

place to-day, under circumstances which war
rant strong expectations of success on the part
of the Wing candidates. Having the means
ofvictory in their hands, energy and co-oPera-

Letter from Genernl soott.

The New York Times states that some few
months since gentleman of Pennsylvania, at
the request Of eight members of the State SEN
ate, wrote letter to Gen. WINFIELD SCOTT,
addressing him as. the undoubted Wing candi-
date for the Presidency, and requesting his
opinions upon the various political questions
which have agitated the country.
To that letter General ScoTT wrote the fol-
lowing reply, in which, it will be seen, he re-
fers to his past life and his character for his
opinions:
WAsHINoToN, March 26, 1851.
SIR have received your letter, (marlsed soon

supposing me to be "fully before the country as
The Wing candidate for the Presidency" you pro-
coed to interrogate me on many points of grave
public interest.
Permit me to say that, considering we shall pro-
baby only have a Wing candidate for the Presi-
dency through National Convention, and that
cannot be it's nominee except by the force of the
unsolicited Partially of large masses of my coun
trymen:
Considering, also, that if my character or prin
ciples be not already known, it would now be i'd,
to attempt to supply the deficient information by
mere paper professions of wisdom and virtue, made
for the occasion:
And considering that, If answer your queries,
must go on and answer others already before me

follow, to the disgust of the public

senator souIe.

The New Orleans Picapme quotes some
passages from speech Of Senator SoULE, at
Opeousas, which exhibit the arrogance and i'll
temper of that gentleman in striking light.
His bitter hostility to the Compromise meas
sures is nothing new; his general political in
tolerance is equally notorious; but we were
scarcely prepared to learn that he is so COM
pletely under the influence of blind fury as he
appears to be, from the style in which he as
sailed Louisiana and the whole South. Hear
him upon this point:
louisiana did not send him to the Senate of the
United States to surrender her rights in this way to
crafty northern aggression and tyranny, and he
did not and would not do it. There was silent
monitor within him, whose promptings he dared
not disregard; it was a court from whose decisions
he could take no appeal He thought the South
was going to be true to herself that she would in
due time redeem her pledges But in these he had
been wofully mistaken. She had yielded unhesi-
tatingly to the demands Of the North; had given
up all the spois by southern valor, and conse-
Grated to liberty by the blood of southern sacrifice;
aud had falsifed herself by not redeeming her sol
emn pledges"
At another stage he alleged that nothing but
duced the South to accept the Compromise;
and then he declared his determination to share
martyrs fate rather than follow the exam
pie:
''The South might abandon its rights, but as its
Representative he never would. He had been, and
still, prepared to defend and protect them at
all hazards; and if his constituents would not
tain him he ready to offer himself up a
rifice to its ignominy."
A pretty plain confession of the fact that Sen
ator SoULE is at variance with his constituents
on this vital question, Notwithstanding his re-
peated declaration that his assailants have hith-
erto been confined to "political demagogues
and vain-glorious politicians" 1t is not unTea-
sonabe to expect that the Senator himself will
be placed in this class when next he appeals
for the su6rages of Louisiana citizens. We
confess, however, that we think he will never
again make the experiment. The insults which
he heaps upon his constituents are the outpour-
ings of spirit rendered doubly malignant by
consciousness Of its own impotency. The poi
son-bag is there, but the fangs are gone.
Since penning the above, the New Orleans
Courier has come to hand, having undergone
an extraordinary and very significant change in
its tone and purpose. Until now the Courier
has been the unrelentng opponent of the Com
promise, and the equally INSCRIPTIONS champion
of Senator SoULE. The Senator's prospects
having become hopeless, his old newspaper al
lies have abandoned him, and declare their adj
hesion to the measures with which the name
of the present Administration will hereafter be
identified. The Courier may now be ranked
amongst the converts from sectionalism and
from Souleism.
