MOELFRE, ANGLESEY.—A new life-boat has been recently stationed at Moelfre, a fishing village, on the north-eastern coast of the island of Anglesey, in lieu of the former lifeboat stationed there, which has been removed to replace a worn-out boat at the neighbouring station at Cemlyn. It was built at the joint expense of the National Life-boat Institution and the Local Association, the former having contributed 501. towards its cost. The fittings of this boat are of a novel character in several respects. She was designed by Captain SKINNER, R.N., the Government Superintendent of packets a! Holyhead, at which place she was built.

She has some important advantages, is undoubtedly the best life-boat on the Anglesey coast, and we have no doubt will do credit to her constructors. Her dimensions are, extreme length, 28 feet; breadth, 7 feet; depth, 2 feet 6 inches, with 1 foot 9 inches sheer of gunwale. She is fitted to row either with six oars single banked, or 12 oars double banked. - Her chief peculiarities are: 1st. Her side air-cases, which are detached hollow boxes, are made with strips of ratan cane, covered with canvas on a patented plan of a Mr. DAVIS, of Southampton. 2nd. She is fitted with a series of hollowed wooden floor-tanks, which supply the place of a deck, and which may be filled, if thought advantageous, with sand or other material as extra ballast.

Her 3rd peculiarity, is the manner in which her relieving tubes are fitted with plugs, which are of a simple, inexpensive, and durable character; they are not self-acting, but they can be.withdrawn .instantly by the crew without removing from their seats., on shipping a sea, and they are perfectly water-tight, which we suspect that no self-acting valve can be made to be. She is not built to selfright.

Her ballast consists of an iron keel band of i cwt, and the wooden floor-tanks, which when empty, weigh 2f cwt. Her total weight, including fitting and gear, is 23i cwt. only. She is thought very highly of by her crew.

FISHGUARD.—Anew 30-feet life-boat, on Mr. PEAKE'S design, with some recent modification and improvement in form, has been stationed at Fishguard, on the southern part of Cardigan Bay, in Wales, at the joint expense of the National Life-boat Institution, and local contributions. Wrecks having been frequent in this locality, the inhabitants of Fishguard and its neighbourhood determined on providing themselves with the best [description of life-boat that could be procured. A Committee was accordingly formed to make the necessary arrangements for carrying their humane object into effect, of which the Rev. C. H. BARHAM, of Trecwn, was elected Chairman, a gentleman possessed of large fortune, and of the still more valuable gifts—a liberal mind and philanthropic disposition.

The Committee at once communicated with the National Life-boat Institution, and having raised a very liberal subscription in the neighbourhood, amounting to 193f. Fishguard was admitted as a branch of the Institution, which undertook to supply a life-boat and carriage, and to make up the required amount for the construction of the same.

The life-boat was conveyed to her station in August last, gratuitously, so far as Haverfordwest, by the Great Western and South Wales Railways. She was shortly after taken off on trial in a rough sea, the inspector of life-boats to the Institution, and some members of the local Committee being OH board, when she afforded general satisfaction, and gave promise of possessing every quality which a life-boat requires.

A commodious and substantial house has been erected, in which to keep the boat and her stores; and the establishment bids fair to be one of the most efficient in connexion with the Institution.
