We have ascertained that the name of the man from the yacht Arawa, who co bravely rescued one of the Euphemia's crew in a little cockle-shell of a din^y during thegale on Thursday last, is Joseph TunKrdge. This is not his tint exploit of the kind; in 1876, the schooner Dagmsr was capuzed in a squall 60 miles off (Jtago Hf(idi>, and Tunbringe left his own vessel hove-io some distance away, and, rowing to the spot aloae in a dingy, saved the whole of the crew. These successivo acts cf braveiy recemmend him strongly f»r tho Humane Society's medal, and tbe rcattrr should at ence be taken up by one of the Harbour Board. An impression aopeais to prevail that Tunbridge partially choked the man on Thursday by letting his throat reit «n the gunwale of tho boat. This ia not bo. fie held tho palm of his hand under the man's chin, while with Irs right, he grasped him behind the back till assistance a1 rived.

Tho design is very pretty. There are three batins, and round the bate of the pillar there are four rude figures of children mounted upon the backs of dolphins and blowing horns, from which streams of water spurt into the lowest and largest basin, while alternating between thrse figutes are lions' heads, oUo (pouting forth water. Ihe topmost basin is supported by a pillar ot entwined dolphins, and is crowned by an erect female figure, classically draped, and holding a cornucopia in her hands, from which a good jet of water ascends. Water likewise streams through holes in the second and third basins. The whole effect is extremely agreeable.
