THE MEDAL or THE EOYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION FOR THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK.

Obvertt.—An unlaureated head of George the Fourth; beneath, in minute letters, "W. Wyon, Mint; double legend, " Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck."—" George the Fourth, Patron, 1824." Severte.—Three sailors in a Life-boat,—one of whom is in the act of rescuing an exhausted mariner from the waves; inscription, " Let not the deep swallow me up." THIS Medal appears to have been "one of the chef d 'ceuvres of the late eminent engraver, WM. WYON, Esq., R.A. The bust of GEORGE THE FOURTH is the best of all the good heads of this Sovereign that have been engraved by Mr. WYON ; it combines, with great dignity, a peculiar animation and benevolence of expression, in character with the nature of the Institution of which His Majesty was the first Patron, and in the formation of which His Majesty and other members of the Royal Family took considerable interest. The Reverse, representing the Life-boat, in which there are three Sailors, rescuing a fourth from the sea, is a work of superlative merit. Two of the Sailors are steadying the. boat, while the other, stooping, draws in the Shipwrecked Sailor, whose figure is given so as to show the form in the most natural and beautiful manner; and the expression thrown into his countenance looking up to his preserver is unrivalled by anything that we have ever seen, while the easy flowing lines of this sailor are finely contrasted by those of his companions: the whole displaying the most perfect knowledge of the human frame, the finest taste to arrange it, and a command of the graver to embody to us what the artist's bright genius had shadowed out to himself. But there is another pleasing motive for our admiration of this beautiful Medal, as the figure who is so humanely extending his relief to the drowning Mariner is a portrait of the Artist himself. The following is a LIST of the GOLD and SILVER MEDALS that have been voted by the Committee of this Institution, since its establishment in 1824, to persons whose humane and intrepid exertions in saving Lives from Shipwreck have been deemed sufficiently conspicuous to merit that honourable distinction. The Cases will be.found recorded in detail in the several Annual Reports of the Institution. JVbfc.—The asterisk (*) after the name denotes the reception of a Gold Medal, ~" The figure after the name signifies the number of honorary distinctions received from the Institution.

Body Plan. Midship Section. The accompanying figures show the general form, the nature of the fittings, and air- chambers of one of these boats, 30 feet in length and 7 feet 6 inches in breadth. In figs. 1 and 2, the elevation and deck plans, the general exterior form of the boat is shown with the sheer of gunwale, length of keel, and rake or slope of stem and stern-posts. The dotted lines of fig. 1 show the position and dimensions of the air-chambers within board, and of the relieving-tubes. In fig. 2, A represents the deck, B the relieving-tubes (6 inches in diameter), c the side air-cases, D the end air-chambers. In fig. 3, the exterior form of transverse sections, at different distances from stem to stern, is shown; Fig. 4 represents a midship transverse section, A being sections of the side air-cases, B the relieving-tubes, bored through solid massive chocks of wood of the same depth as the space between the deck and the boat's floor, c, C, are spaces beneath the deck, filled up, over 6 feet in length, at the midship part of the boat, with solid chocks of light wood, forming a portion of the ballast; d is a section of a small draining-tier, having a pump in it, by which any leakage can be pumped out by one of the crew whilst afloat. The festooned lines in fig. 1 represent exterior life-lines attached round the entire length of the boat, to which persons in the water may cling till they can be got into the boat; the two central lines are festooned lower than the others, to be used as stirrups, so that a person in the water by stepping on them may climb into the boat. This life-boat possesses in the highest degree all the qualities which it is desirable that a life-boat should possess :— 1. Great lateral stability. 2. Speed against a heavy sea. 3. Facility for launching and for taking the shore. 4. Immediate'self-discharge of any water breaking into her. 5. The important advantage of self-righting if upaot. 6. Strength. 7. Stowage-room for a number of passengers. 154 KULES AND BEGULATIONS. [APRIL 1,1859.

The object of this Institution, as declared In.lts title, Is to afford assistance to every wrecked person around the coasts of the United Kingdom. The chief means by which the Society hopes to carry this object into effect are:— To build, station, and maintain In repair, Life-Boats of the most perfect description; to famish them with all necessary Appurtenances, Including Houses to preserve them in, and Carriages for their conveyance to the spots where their Services are called for; and further, to provide, through the Instrumentality of Local Committees, for their proper Management, and the occasional Exercise of their Crews. _ To confer Honorary Bewards In the form of Medals and votes of Thanks, and also to grant Pecuniary Remuneration to all persons who, at the risfc of their own lives, save, or attempt to save, those of others on board vessels wrecked, or In distress, upon any part of the coast of the United Kingdom. As an index of the necessity for a provision of such a machinery as the above, It may be stated—that the average loss of lives from shipwreck annually on the shores of the United Kingdom is between 600 and 700.
