The object of this Institution, as declared In its title, is to afford assistance to every wrecked person around the coasts of the United Kingdom.

The chief means by which the Society hopes to carry this object into effect are :— To build, station, and maintain in repair, Life-boats of the most perfect description; to furnish them with all necessary Appurtenances, including Houses to preserve them In, and Carriages for their conveyance to the spots where their Services are called for: and farther, to provide, through the instrumentality of Local Committees, for their proper Management, and the occasional Exercise of their Crews.

To confer Honorary Rewards in the form of Medals and Votes of Thanks, and also to grant Pecuniary Remuneration to al 1 persons who, at the risk of their own lives, save, or attempt to save, those of others on board vessels wrecked, or In distress upon any part of the coast of the United Kingdom.

AS an index of the necessity for the provision of such a machinery as the above, it may be stated—that the average loss of lives from shipwreck annually on the shores of the United Kingdom is between 700 and 800: upwards of 1,600 thus perished last year.

Donations and Annual Subscriptions will be thankfully received by Messrs. "WILLIS, PERCIVAL, and Co., 76 Lombard street, Bankers to the Institution; Messrs. HERRIES, FARQUHAR, and Co., IS St. Jamcs's-street; Messrs.
