On the night of the 5th January, the barque Reliance, of London, was driven on shore in a violent snow- storm, near Walmer Castle, on the coast of Kent. The Walmer life-boat was qxrickly manned and proceeded to the rescue of her crew of 15 persons, whom she succeeded in landing in safety. There was a very heavy surf at the time, and the life-boat, which had been only recently placed on the sta- tion, afforded much satisfaction to her crew.

She is on Mr. PEAKE'S design.

Situated in the neighbourhood of the fetal Goodwin Sands, we have no doubt this life-boat, in the hands of the skilful boatmen of the neighbourhood, will have many future opportunities for performing such valuable services as the above.
