NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 
*ROM a ftatement lately prefented to the 
» Litesary and Philofophical Society, -in 
Neweaftle, it appears, that the fun raifed for 
the fupport of the poor of that town, from 
Septembes, 3766, to September, 2707, 
amowis to 30,0008  Notwithftamding the 
expenditure of this large fum, the flreets of 
Newcaftle are faid to be more encumbered 
with comunon beggars, than almoft any other 
town in the kingdom. 
A fubieription is folicited for continuing 
and extemding the inftirution, founded abour 
eight years ago, by fevera! gentlemen and 
fhip-owners in Newcaftle and South Shields, 
for faving “the lives “of thole unfortunate per- 
fons, who are Mipwrecked near the rotks and 
fends, which are ftuated at the mouth of the 
zives Tyne. For this puspofe, a boat, deno- 
minated the life deat, was built, of a particular 
eonftruction, toy making way through broken 
water, which Would Keep affoat in the moft 
boifterous tempefts, and preferve its equili- 
brium, fo as to prevent its overfetting. Cork 
jackets were provided for the perfons who 
rowed the boat, and the appasatus recommend= 
e@ by the Humane Society for the refy(ci- 
tation of perfons apparenily drowned, was kept 
m conftant readinefs, in 2 houfe built ina con- 
venient fituation for launching the boat. The 
very cixcumferibed fupport which this ufeful 
inftstution has hitherto received, has occafien- 
ed the dfburfements confiderably to exceed 
the amount of the fund. It is, therefore, 
ftrongly recommended to the committees of 
the ditferent clubs of infurance on the river 
Tyne, to bring forward a motion at their 
general meetings, for raifing an aunual {um in 
their refpe€tive affociations, thar a permanent 
fund may be eftablifhed. If the {ub{cxiption 
anfwer, itis propofed to improve and encreafe 
the prefent eftablifhmenr, by building a fecond 
boat, which muft prove eminently f-rviceable, 
when feveral thips happen to be deove on 
fhore atone time. A fpirit af rivalfhip and 
emulation would be excited among the men 
who are in the habit of haftening to afift on 
thefe occaffons, and the benevolent adven- 
turers awould be rendered bolder by the reflec- 
tion, that if one boat was in danger, the 
People might be preferved by the affiftance of

the fate of the fund peimits, t0 provide beds 
and other aclommeodicors for the fufferes, 
when brought on flose ; and, by inftirusing © 
dixed rewards for thoit who aff im the pae~ 
 fervation of their fellaw-exeatuxes, te abohithy 
the difgraceful“cuftom ‘of rettiving -maney 
from thdfe already labouring under misfortune.
