HOLYHEAD.—A new life-boat has been placed at Holyhead by the NATIONAL LIFE- BOAT INSTITUTION, in lieu of the old boat at that station, tow worn out. The new boat is 30 ft. long, and rows ten oars double banked.

The Lords of the Admiralty have liberally erected, at the expense of the Crown, a substantial boat-house for her in the new harbour.

ARDMORE, IRELAND.—The Institution has recently established a branch at Ardmore, in County Waterford, and placed a 28-ft. six oared life-boat there. A carriage has been provided for the boat, and a boat-house built, towards the latter of which the locality has contributed, and an annual subscription was promised towards the permanent expenses of the establishment. This boat will protect the two bays of Ardmore and Whiting, in both of which wrecks occasionally happen.

BALLYCOTTON, IRELAND.—A life-boat establishment has been formed by the Institution at Ballycotton, in County Cork, and a 28-ft. six-oared boat, -with a carriage, has been placed here, and a boat-house built. Ballycotton Bay lying near the entrance of Cork Harbour, this boat will afford protection to the shipping frequenting that port, and, together with the new stations at Youghal and Ardmore and others, the formation of which ia contemplated by the Institution, will go to complete the series of life-boats on the south coast of Ireland, where vessels entering the English or Irish Channels ate at any time liable to disaster in southerly gales of Wind.

WINTERTON, NORFOLK. -The Winterton Life-Boat Establishment, being another of those transferred to the Institution by the late Norfolk Association, has been altogether renewed, a new boat, boat-house, and carriage having been built for it. This boat is 30 ft. long, rowing ten oars double-banked, and is similar in all respects to that Stationed at Palling, containing all the latest improvements of the boats on Mr. PEAKE'S plan adopted by the Institution.

Wrecks tare numerous on this part of the coast, tad Winterton may be considered to be an important station*.
