Moved by Capt. REDMAN, one of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House, and seconded by Mr. J. D. POWLES.

2.—That this meeting desires to record, with gratitude, the success which has attended, during the past year, the use of the Life-boats in connection with the Shipwreck Institution, and particularly of those on the coast of Northumberland presented to the Society by His Grace the President. Thus encouraged, this meeting expresses a hope that the exertions of the Institution will be renewed during the coming year to increase the number of its Life-boat and Rocket stations on the coast, with the view of assisting to lessen the frightful loss of life from shipwreck which every year takes place on our shores. And this meeting undertakes to make the benevolent objects of the Institution more widely known, in order that it * might receive that amount of public support which shall be commensurate with its national importance and the field of usefulness expanding before it.

Moved by Mr. ROBERT GRANT, and seconded by Mr. FOWLER NEWSAM.
