BLYTH, NORTHUMBERLAND AND NEWBIGGIN, ABERDEENSHIRE.—THE ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION has forwarded new Life-boats to Blyth and Newburgh to take the place of Life-boats sent there some years since. Each boat is 31 feet long, 1 feet wide, rows 10 oars, double-banked and possesses all the latest improvements, with all the other characteristics of the boats of the Institution in the way of self-righting, self-ejecting water, &c. The cost of the Blyth new boat has been presented to the Institution by Mrs. STOKER, of Beverley, and the boat is named the Oswald, Sarah and Jane, in compliance with her request. The Newburgh Life-boat and equipment are the gift of Mr. JOHN BENTLEY, of London, and in accordance with the donor's wish the boat is named the Ellen Newman and John Bentlty, On the 14th October a very large crowd assembled at Newburgh to witness the first launch of the new Life-boat. Amongst those present were the Earl and Countess of MAR, Mr. and Mrs. JOHN H. UDNY, of Udny; General and Mrs. MACKENZIE, of Foreran; and Mr. and Mrs. W. H. LUMSDEH, of Balmedie. Mr. UDNT, who is President of the Newburgh Branch, in taking over the new Boat from the Institution, proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. BENTIEY, -which was warmly responded to, after which prayer for the success of the Boat W&S offered by the Rev. J. S.LOUTIT and the ceremony of naming was performed by Mrs. UDNY. The Lifeboat was afterwards launched, and capsized to test the powers of self-righting and discharging the water shipped in that operation. To the great satisfaction of the crew, she was found to be perfeat in those points. The day being exceptionally fine, they were not able fully to ascertain her sea-going qualities, but arrangements were made to give her a further trial on the first stormy day.

Through the kindness of the President, the crew were afterwards entertained at supper.

WHITELINK BAY, ABERDEENSHIRE AND COURTOWN, Co. WEXFORD. — The Institution has also been enabled to replace the boats on these stations by Life-boats of the newest type, thanks to the munificence of a benevolent gentleman who called on the Secretary in July last, and handed him the necessary funds to meet the expense of their construction and equipment. He declined to divulge his name, but desired that the boats might be respectively called the Ellen and Eliza, the Three Brothers, and the Three Sisters.

FISHGUARD, SOUTH WALES ; BUCKIE, HUNA AND KIRKCUDBRIGHT, SCOTLAND ; AND PORTRUSH, IRELAND. — These five stations hove also been furnished with new Life-boats, the cost having been defrayed from legacies bequeathed to the Institution by the late Mrs. E.

—The Committee have also had the satisfaction to send new Life-boats to these places, the boats bearing the same names as those which they superseded, viz. the Curling, the Thomas Chapman, the William James Holt, and the Robert I Theophilus Garden.

MONTROSE, SCOTLAND.—The No. 2 Lifeboat placed here more than fifteen years since has been removed, and a new 31 feet boat, rowing 10 oars, double-banked, sent to the station in its stead, the cost of which has been defrayed by GEORGE WEBSTER, Esq., of London. On the 28th September last, the new Life-boat was launched at Montrose for the first time, with considerable ceremony, in the I presence of the donor and thousands of spectators.

It was arranged that the boat should be taken through the principal streets of the town prior to being launched. A large crowd assembled at the railway station at the appointed hour, and a procession was formed in the following order:— Four Constables in Uniform.

The Members of the Life Brigade, with Cart and Socket Apparatus.

The Forfar and Kincardineshire Artillery Band, under Bandmaster NOLAND.

THE LIFE-BOAT, Drawn by six horses, with Crew on Board, I wearing their jerseys and red caps.

A number of Fishermen on Foot.

Carriage, in which were seated Mr. Gr. WEBSTER, Provost SCOTT, Lieutenant BABKAKD, E.N., and the Members of the Local Committee of the Life-boat Institution.

A large body of Foresters, wearing their Regalia.

Members of the General Public on foot.

The streets through which the procession passed were crowded with interested spectators. The launching ceremony was witnessed by a crowd of two or three thousand people. The Bents near the Life-boat House rise in a series of terraces, all of which were crowded by well-dressed people, the sight from the beach being an exceedingly pleasant one. The boat resting on its carriage, was pulled up beside a temporary platform, on which Mr. WEBSTER and other gentlemen took their places. Before launching her Mr. WEBSTER (addressing Mr. WARBACK:, the veteran Hon. Secretary to the Local Committee) said—I present this Life-boat, with very great pleasure, to my friends the crew, and to you as the representative of the ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION—an institution which is national in every sense of the word.

(Cheers.) I offer you the boat with an earnest wish that she may be useful in saving life. (Loud cheers.) Mr. WABBACK—I gratefully accept the present of this boat from you on behalf of the Institution. I can only say that if she prove as useful as her predecessors she will do well. (Cheers.) The new boat has many advantages that the last one did not have, and I am sure she will be a very useful one. As the tide waits for no man, I will conclude by cordially accepting the boat.

Three hearty cheers having been given for Mr. WABBACK, and a similar compliment paid to the Life-boat crew, the fastenings were loosed, and the boat glided off her carriage into the water, amid loud cheers from the spectators—Mr. WBBSTEE, in the good old, orthodox fashion, breaking a bottle of wine on her bow, and naming her the Bessie Webster. Scarcely had she touched the water when all the ten oars were out, and, under Coxswain THOMAS WATT, she was pulled across to Ferryden, through the Stell, and back to the boat-house. Her beautiful lines when in the water were greatly admired, and she was easily pulled. The flag of the ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION floated "from her stern. A large flag, with a painting of a Life-boat rowing to the assistance of a vessel in distress, with the motto underneath, " A heart that can feel for another," waved from a spar amidships, and at the bow was the Union Jack. As the boat entered the water the band struck up "Weel may the boatie row.".
