The Committee of the Iloyal National Life-Boat Institution would earnestly call the attention of the Public to the great and extraordinary exertions which the Society has recently made to provide efficient Life-boats at various parts of the coasts of the United Kingdom, including Walmer, Camber (Rye), Appledore (Devon), Braunton (Devon), Penmon (rVnulesea), Arklow, Sealon Carew, Cahore, Vouirlial, and Wentport. To supply these Life-boats, together with Trans- porting-caniaj;es and Boat-houses for some of them, has involved an expenditure of upwards of 413,000.

Other appeals for aid in the establishment of Life-boats continue to be received by the Committee.
