REDCAR AND MIDDLESBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE.

—The Redcar life-boat men having refused to work their boat, as they considered it was not large enough, a larger and more roomy life-boat has been supplied to them in its place. It is a very fine boat, H6 feet long and 9J feet wide, and pulls 10 oars, which are always doable manned.

It is provided with a transporting-carriage.

The expanse of the new boat, carnage, and equipment, has been benevolently contributed by the people of Burton-on-Trent, through the kind exertions of M. T. BASS, Esq., M.P., A. O. WORTHINGTON, Esq., Mt.

JAMES NICHOLS, and other gentlemen and ladies. Before being taken to its station, the life-boat was sent to Burton, and exhibited there from the 12th to the 19th July last.

On the latter day, being the occasion of the Horticultural Exhibition, an imposing demonstration took place with the boat. It was first paraded through the town and then presented to the Society by Mr. BASS, in the presence of a large concourse of spectators.

Mrs. A REAM BASS then named the boat, which was thereupon launched into the river Trent, and afterwards, with much difficulty, capsized, and the self-righting and other qualities shown, ever} thing passing off in the most satisfactory manner.

The. London and North Western, Midland, and North Eastern conveyed the boat free over their respective lines to its station vid Burton.

The life-boat thus replaced was the gift to the Institution of Messrs. JOHN CROSSLEY and SONS, of Halifax, and is named the Crossley. It is a fine 33-feet boat, and was only built in 1864. It has been, with their kind permission, transferred to the adjoining station at Middlesborough, in the place of an older boat. The life-boat, carriage, and house have been altered and improved to fit the new boat, and both these life-boat establishments are now in a thoroughly efficient state.

YOUGHAL, IRELAND.—A new life-boat and carriage have recently been forwarded to this station, as the old boat was found to be quite decayed. The new boat is 32 feet long, and pulls 10 oars double banked. It is named the William Beckett of Leeds, its cost having been presented to the Institution by the town of Leeds in honour of the gentleman whose name it bears; . and it has the motto " Soli Dei gloria " on each side.

The life-boat was forwarded to .Leeds en route to its station in May last, and on the 28th of that month it was drawn on its carriage by a fine team of eight horses through some of the principal streets of the town. After the procession, the boat was kept on view in front of the Town Hall until the following day, when it was publicly presented to tin National Life-boat Institution by the Mayor. It was received by WILLIAM BECKETT DENISON, Esq., the President of the Leeds Branch. It was subsequently forwarded to its station vid Liverpool, the Liverpool Steam Ship Company kindly giving it a free, conveyance from that port to Cork on- board one of their vessels. The Cork Steam Ship Company also conferred a similar privilege by conveying the old boat and carriage from Cork to the Thames.
