The galleon, or great ship, at the end of the sixteenth century, was sometimes of as much as 900 tons.

With regard to the chief distribution of English life-boats, there is one to every eight miles on the Northumberland coast; one to every ten miles in Durham and Yorkshire; one to fifteen miles in Lincolnshire; and one to five miles in Norfolk and Suffolk a fact which, the lecturer well observes, is highly creditable to the county associations of the two last counties.
Nothing more can be learned on this curious subject for some years, since the pole of the planet is just now turned nearly towards the earth; but Barnard's conclusion is unlikely to be seriously modified.
