NEW BRIGHTON, CHESHIRE.—A life-boat station, in connection with the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, has been established at New Brighton, on the south shore of the Mersey, near Liverpool, and a tubular lifeboat, on the plan of the late H. RICHARDSON, Esq., has been stationed there.

There were previously two life-boats in the Mersey, on the Liverpool side, maintained by the Liverpool Dock Trustees; but it being thought that a boat on the opposite shore, and nearer the mouth of the viver, might often be of great service, the Institution was invited to station a life-boat there, and at the wish of the local boatmen, who would have to work her, a tubular boat was selected, which was considered especially suited to the locality where the life-boats have generally to be towed by powerful steamers to wrecked vessels on the outlying banks off the entrance of the river; and which description of boat has been found to tow more steadily and safely than any other.

A public launch of this boat took place at Liverpool on the 24th of January last, in the presence of a vast concourse of people, after her being drawn through the principal streets accompanied by the mayor and other authorities, military, Naval Reserve men, bands of music, &c., under the direction of Capt. H. T. RICHARDSON, late of the Dragoon Guards, son of the inventor of this description of life-boat.

This boat was built by Mr. HAMILTON, the proprietor of the Windsor Ironworks at Liverpool. It is made of the best charcoal iron, and in the very best and strongest I manner. Mr. HAMILTON liberally gave np all profit on its manufacture. She is 42 feet long, and rows 14 oars.

NEWHAVEN, SUSSEX.—A new life-boat has been placed at Newhaven by the Institution, in lieu of an inferior boat previously there. She is on the self-righting~principle, and is 35 feet long, rowing 12 oars. The Committee of the Institution have named this boat the Thomas Chapman, in compliment to their respected Deputy Chairman, for his long and valuable services to the Institution.

] She was liberally conveyed to her station, free of charge, by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, on the 20th of January last.

PORTHLEVEN, CORNWALL. — A life-boat station has been established by the Institution at Porthleven, at the eastern end of Mount's Bay, in Cornwall, and a 30 feet 6-oared life-boat, with transporting-carriage, I &c. has been placed there. The cost of this boat was generously presented to the Institution by T. J. AGAR ROBARTES, Esq., M.P., who had also previously, in conjunction with his mother, the late Honourable Mrs. AGAR, presented the Society with the cost of another life-boat. She was liberally carried, free of charge, the whole distance from London to Truro by the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, South Devon and Cornwall Railway Companies, who are ever ready to aid the Institution in every way in their power. She is named, at the request of the local residents, the Agar-Iiobartest after the philanthropic donor. Q FISHGUARD, PEMBROKESHIRE.—The lifeboat stationed at Fishguard having been found by experience too large and heavy for the locality, another of smaller size has been sent to that station by the Institution in its stead. This boat is 30 feet long, and rows 6 oars, single-banked. She has been named the Sir Edward Perrott in compliment to Sir EDWARD PERROTT, Bart, who for many years has rendered valuable services to the Institution as Chairman of its preparatory Committees. She was seat to her station in April last, having been conveyed, with her transporting-carriage, as far as Haverfordwest, free of charge, by the Great Western and South Wales Railway Companies.

BUDEHAVEN, CORNWALL.—A new lifeboat has been placed at Budehaven in lieu of an old and smaller boat previously there.

This boat, fully equipped with a transportingcarriage, and a new and handsome boathouse, have been presented to the Institution, in memory of ELIZABETH MOORE GARDEN, wife of the late ROBERT THEOPHILUS GARDEN, Esq., by their surviving children. A stone tablet recording this philanthropic gift has been affixed to the boat-house. The boat and carriage were conveyed, free of charge, from London to Bideford, with their usual liberality, by the South Western and North Devon Railway Companies. The boat was thence dra vn on its own carriage to Bude, and was launched there, for the first time on the 19th of June, being the natal day of the deceased lady whose memory it is thus intended to perpetuate.

We append a copy of the Inscription, which is beautifully carved in Aubigny stone, and placed over the large doorways in centre of gable of the Life-boat House. In a small panel above the Inscription is carved the coat-of-arms of the Garden family, and on each side of, and forming part of the whole design, are placed small circular panels containing, in ornamentally carved and interlaced letters, the monograms of the late Mr. and Mrs.
