WICKLOW, IRELAND.—A branch of the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION has been recently founded at Wicklow, and a life-boat on Mr. BEECHING'S prize model modified in correspondence with the boats on the Institution's plan has been stationed there.

This boat is 30 feet i» length, and rows 10 oars, double banked. She is supplied with a transporting carriage, so that she may be conveyed along the coast to any favourable position for launching to assist a wrecked crew. A substantial house has also been erected for her reception. This boat was gratuitously conveyed to Dublin from London by the liberality of the British and Irish Steam-Ship Company.

CAMBER, SUSSEX.—A new life-boat has been stationed by the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION at Camber near Rye, and is placed under the general care and superintendence of the Rye branch of the Institution.

This boat is on Mr. PEAKE'S plan, is 28 feet long, and rows six oars single banked.

She will be manned by the Coast-guard stationed at Camber and its vicinity, under the immediate superintendence of the Lieutenant in command of that station. She is provided with a suitable carriage, and a good house has been built for her. By the establishment of this life-boat the inhabitants of Rye, in conjunction with the NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION, have now provided full protection to their port, Camber lying on one side of the entrance to their harbour, and Winchelsea beach, where their other lifeboat is placed, being on the opposite side.

NEWHAVEN, SUSSEX.—The Newhaven life-boat, on Mr. BEECHING'S model, the property of the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, has been taken to London, and altered at considerable expense by Messrs. FORRESTT, builders to the Institution, to its plan after Mr. PEAKE'S design. On a subsequent trial, she has been reported on by her crew as being very greatly improved in several respects.

GUERNSEY.—A new life-boat on Mr. PEAKE'S plan has been provided by the inhabitants of Guernsey, and is stationed on an exposed point on that island. She is 28 feet long, and rows six oars single banked; she was built by Messrs. FORRESTT, of Limehouse.

MARGATE.—A life-boat has been presented to the boatmen at Margate by that well-known benevolent lady, Miss BURDETT COUTTS. And the boatmen, aided by subscriptions from their wealthier neighbours, have also purchased another life-boat from Messrs. WHITE of Cowes. The former of these boats will, we believe, be furnished with sails, and the latter be used solely as a rowing-boat. Miss BURDETT COUTTS purchased the above boat, together with another one from Mr. T. C. CLARKSON; the latter, which, we understand, she has presented to the seamen of Sunderland, is wholly constructed of Mr. CLARKSON'S patented material, consisting of layers of cork, wood, and canvas, cemented together by marine glue. The Margate boat is a wooden boat, which was formerly stationed at Dover, and which Mr. CLARKSON altered and fitted up with air-cases of his material.

The NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, in appreciation of the public spirit of the Margate boatmen in providing themselves with a life-boat, presented them with a set of life-belts of the best description, for the use of their boat's crew.
