CARNSORE, Co. WEXFORD.—The 30-feet 6-oared Life-boat placed here some years since was found to be not powerful enough for service to vessels on the dangerous outlying rocks off this coast known as the "Tuskar," and the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION has therefore replaced it by another boat, 32 feet long, and rowing 10 oars double-banked; the lady who pro- vided the first boat as a thank-offering for her providential escape from drowning in 1859 having supplemented her gift by the further munificent contribution of 300Z. towards the expense of the exchange.

In accordance with her wishes, the Life- boat, which was sent to Carnsore in March last, has, been named the Iris. The boat was conveyed from London to Wexford by steamer and railway, and from the latter place it was taken to its station by road.

FRASERBURGH, N.B. — This Life-boat, after many years' service, has also had to be replaced by another boat, 33 feet long, 8£ feet wide, and pulling 10 oars double- banked, which was sent to the station by railway last March, and with which the crew have since expressed themselves as much pleased. It is named the Charlotte, that being the Christian name of the wife of WILLIAM MCKEHIIELL, Esq., late of Hill House, Ayrshire, the original donor of the Life-boat. The boat thus superseded had done good work in its time in saving 31 lives from different shipwrecks.

BRANCASTER, NORFOLK.—The NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION has recently es- tablished a Life-boat Station at Brancas- ter, where wrecks occasionally happen, and there being a rather long line of coast unprotected between the Life-boats at Hunstanton to the west, and Wells to the east of that place. The Life-boat, which, with the whole cost of the esta- blishment, had been presented to the I Institution by Mrs. M. A. BOETEFEUR, I widow of the late Mr. ALEXANDER BOETEFEUR, an old and valued member and generous supporter of the Society, was sent to its station in July last, and on the 25th of that month was publicly launched in the presence of a large assembly of spectators, when the usual ceremonial was gone through, a short religious service being performed by the Rev. ALEX- ANDER NAPIER, Hector of Holkham, and the boat being named the Joseph and Mary by Mrs. SIMS REEVE, the wife of the local landed proprietor, who had kindly given the site on which the boat-house •was erected. The boat is a 10-oared one, 33 feet long by 8 feet wide.

ST. MART'S, SCILLY.—For many years it had been in contemplation to station a Life-boat at Scilly, but wrecks not being very frequent in the neighbourhood of that group of islands, and local difficulties arising, the question had been postponed from time to time. An opportunity, however, offering, through, the bequeath- ment of a legacy, for the establishment of a Life-boat Station, by the late Mrs. DUN- DAS DRUMMOND, and the inhabitants wish- ing to be supplied with a Life-boat, the Institution has provided one. The boat, which is of large size, being 37 feet long by 9 feet wide, and rowing 12 oars, was sent to her station on the 30th July last, being towed from Penzance by a steamer.

On the 1st Aug. she was publicly launched, after being drawn through the streets on her carriage, accompanied by a procession and a band of music. The Rev. J. H. WHITE, Chaplain to T. J. A. SMITH DOMES, Esq., the proprietor of the islands, performed the religions service, and Miss BANFIELD, daughter of Mr. J. BANFIELD, the local Hon. Secretary, named the boat. A large assembly of persons were present, includ- ing many ministers and members of the Wesleyan body, who were on an excursion to the islands.

ANGLESEY. — The Life-boat at Moelfre, in the neighbourhood of which place the Royal Charter was lost some years since, has been replaced by a new one. The new boat, the cost of which was raised amongst her relatives and friends by the Lady VIVIAN, was publicly launched there on the 21st August last.

The small cove and village were decorated with flags for the occasion, and Lord and Lady VIVIAN and many of their friends were present at the launch. The boat, which is 32 feet long by 7J feet wide, was named, with the usual ceremonial, by Lady VIVIAN, and a prayer for a blessing on the boat and her crew was offered up | by the Rev. J. W. EVANS, the Rector of ] the parish. I DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN. — An additional i Life-boat has been stationed at Douglas, ! in the Me of Man. In consequence of ; the suddenness of some shipping disasters in the neighbourhood of that port, it was considered that the Life-boat stationed there on the north side of the harbour j could not be launched quickly enough to j meet such emergencies. Accordingly the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION decided to station a second boat there, to be kept afloat in the outer harbour, whence she could be promptly conveyed to the assist- ance of vessels in distress or on shore.

On the 26th August the new boat was towed to its station from Liverpool, and on the 27th she wag temporarily hauled up on the beach north of the town; and after being named by Miss HARRIS, daugh- ter of the High Bailiff, S. HARRIS, Esq., was launched in the presence of a large assemblage of persons. The day had been selected as that on which the Annual Regatta took place. Unfortu- nately it was very wet, the rain being incessant. The Institution's Life-boats from Castletown and Ramsey had come from their stations to do honour to the occasion, and the four Life-boats of the island competed in a race. The cost of the new boat was presented to the Insti- tution by Mrs. TURNER-TURNER and he? family, in memory of her late husband, JOHN TURNER-TURNER, Esq., after whom it was named. The boat is a large one, being 35 feet long by 9 feet wide.

DUNGENESS.—A Life-boat Station has been formed at Dungeness, and a Life-boat was sent there in September last. This boat, which is 33 feet long by 7| feet wide, and rows 10 oars, was presented to the Institution by DAVID HET,ETT, Esq., of London. On the 14th September she was launched in the presence of a con- siderable number of persons -who, notwith- standing the formidable belt of soft shingle, some two and a half miles wide, which had to be crossed from Lydd and the surrounding country, had assembled, A large party had also come from Folke- stone in a steamer chartered for the purpose.

The boat was named by Mrs. DENNE, wife of A. DENNE, Esq., Deputy Lieutenant of the County, and the religious cere- monial performed by the Rev. W. C. L. WINGATE, local Honorary Secretary.

It will be remembered that the unfor- tunate loss of the Northfleet, when so many poor emigrants unfortunately perished, took place near this locality.
