MILLION, CORNWALL.—The Institution has formed a life-boat establishment at Mullion Cove, several wrecks, with loss of life, haying recently occurred in the locality.

The boat is 33 feet long, and rows 10 oars double-banked. A commodious and substantial house has been erected for its reception, on a suitable site of ground granted by T. J. AGAR ROBARTES, Esq., M.P. The whole cost of the establishment has been defrayed -from a fund raised through the medium of the Methodist Recorder, amongst Wesleyans in various parts of the United Kingdom, to perpetuate the memory of the late Rev. D. J. DRAPER, who unhappily perished in the steam ship London, in the Bay of Biscay, last year.

Mr. DRAPER was at the time on his way to Australia, in which colony he had for many years been an active and zealous minister of the Wesleyan Methodists. The fund had the valuable co-operation of the Rev. LUKE H. WISEMAN and Mr. THOS. SMITH, the conductors of the above-named journal. A grand demonstration and public launch took place with the life-boat on her arrival at Penzance. ' A procession, consisting of the Coastguard and Naval Reserve, the Mayor and Corporation, the 1st company of the Duke of Cornwall Volunteers, with bands of music, escorted the boat through the principal streets to the beach. It was then named the Daniel J. Draper, by the Mayoress, and launched. It being the occasion of the opening of the public buildings at Penzance, a general holiday was observed in the town. The neighbouring life-boats from Sennen Cove, Porthleven, Hayle, and other stations also took part in the proceedings of the day. The Institution is much indebted to the Rev. E. G. HARVEY, Vicar of Mullion, for his valuable and zealous cooperation as the Honorary Secretary of the Branch. A free conveyance was kindly given to the life-boat, by the Bristol and Exeter, South Devon, Cornwall, and West Cornwall Railway Companies. This lifeboat was fortunately the means of saving three of the crew of the barque Achilles, of Glasgow, on the 21st October last.

CADGWITH, CORNWALL.—A life-boat establishment has been organised by the Institution at this place, which is situate about two miles from the Lizard station. As most of the crew of the latter boat reside at the village of Cadgwith, they would be enabled to man either boat. In gales of wind, the boat at Cadgwith can be more readily launched from Polpear Cove. A powerful life-boat has been stationed here, being 33 feet long, 8J feet wide, and rowing 10 oars double-banked. On the arrival of the boat at its station, it was publicly launched, and gave great satisfaction to its crew. A commodious house has also been built for it. The cost of the life-boat has been contributed by the Commercial Travellers in the West of England, the fund having been raised through the kind co-operation of THOMAS DAVIES, Esq., of Chippenham. The Institution is also much indebted to the Rev. F. C. JACKSON, who performs the duties of Honorary Secretary to the Branch. The Bristol and Exeter, South Devon, Cornwall and "West Cornwall Railway Companies, readily conveyed the boat over their lines free of charge.

DUNDALK, IRELAND.—The Institution has thoroughly reorganized this life-boat station, and placed here a new 32-feet 10-oared double-banked life-boat, with transportingcarriage, in lieu of the old boat The whole cost of the life-boat, carriage, and equipment has been defrayed by the children of the Stockport Sunday School, and by their teachers and friends, assisted by the contributions of old scholars outside the establishment, which we believe is the largest in the kingdom. The life-boat was publicly exhibited and launched at Stockport before going to its station. The crew of the Southport lifeboat were present to man the boat—and they were taken into the large room of the school and introduced to the children, when the enthusiasm, and delight of the latter, as the veteran coxswain and his hardy crew, with their life-belts on, entered the room, was a most interesting sight. The perfect storm of cheering from the children was again and again renewed on their being told that the brave fellows before them had all of them many times saved the lives of shipwrecked sailors, and that the coxswain, WILLIAM ROCKLIFFE, had assisted to save between 200 and 300 lives. The scholars, nearly 5,000 in number, were then formed in procession, and followed by the boat, drawn by 6 fine horses lent by Messrs. PICKFORD and Co. They then proceeded to Mr. RICHARD SYKES' lake, which had been kindly offered for the occasion, where, after the usual ceremony of presentation, Miss SYKES named the boat the Stockport Sunday School. It was afterwards launched in the presence of from 15,000 to 20,000 persons, and was capsized, to show the properties of self-righting, &e. Everything went off well, and everybody seemed gratified with the proceedings.

KINGSTOWN, IRELAND.—The life-boat on this station having been reported to be unfit fov- further service, the Institution has replaced it by a new 32*feet 10-oared boat, built of mahogany. The cost of the first boat was presented to |;he Institution by Miss S. H. BERTIE GATOR, who had collected its cost amongst her friends. At her desire the boat was named the Princess Royal, and the new boat also beats the same name. The station is again in a thoroughly efficient state. The British and Irish Steam Packet Company liberally conveyed the lifeboat free of charge to its station.

EXMOUTH, DEVON.—The six-oared lifeboat on this station having been found hardly powerful enough to contend with the heavy surf often encountered on the shoals off the entrance to the river Exe, the crew expressed a wish to have a double banked boat in its stead. The NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION has accordingly placed here a 32 feet 10-oared life-boat and transporting-carriage in the place of the others. The London and South Western Railway Company obligingly carried them free over their line. The cost of the original boat on this station was defrayed about eight years since by Lady ROLLE, the boat being at her request named the Victoria, after her Majesty the Queen; and the new boat bears the same beloved name. Since this boat has been on its station, it has gone through a very trying ordeal in a strong gale and heavy sea, when it acquitted itself to the great admiration of the crew.

SEATON CAREW, DURHAM. — This lifeboat was thought not powerful enough for the locality; the Institution has accordingly sent there a new boat of larger build containing the latest improvements, and provided with a transporting-carriage, as now used with the life-boats of the Society.

The boat sent is 33 feet long, 8£ feet wide, and rows 10 oars double banked. It was taken to Middlesborough free of charge by the London and Middlesborough Steam Shipping Company. The cost of the original life-boat on this station was the gift to the Society of WILLIAM MCKERRELL, Esq., late of Hill House, Ayrshire, N.B., and the new boat, like the old one, is named the Charlotte, at his request, that being the Christian name of Mrs. McKERRELL. The old boat, during its sojourn of ten years at this station, had happily been the means of saving the lives of 49 persons from various shipwrecks.
