ARKLOW, IRELAND.—A life-boat station in connection with the National Life-boat Institution has been founded at Arklow, on the East Coast of Ireland and a life-boat on Mr. Peake's design, 30-feet long, and rowing 10 oars, double banked, has been placed there by the Institution. A boathouse has been built from funds chiefly contributed in the neighbourhood, and the station will be at once furnished with a transporting carriage, and be completed in every respect.

Her services will be chiefly required to vessels wrecked on the Blackwater and Arklow banks. She is the first of a series of life-boats DOW building for the Institution to meet the wants of the East Coast of Ireland. She was conveyed gratuitously to Dublin by one of the steamers of the British and Irish Steam Packet Company, which Company has, on several previous occasions, most liberally conveyed the Society's life-boats free of all charge..
