ROMSET LABOURERS ENCOURAGEMENT ASSOCIATION. ROMSEY, THUBADAT. The annual meeting of this aseociation was held ilisafternixta, and, in the unavoidable &mop of Lord Pal esentina, the Right Hon. W. Comma, ILP., presided. the other gentleman premat were Sir O. Ilawlin te= mayor, Mr. Lordan (the .:-mayor), the vicar. Lieutenant Albo ood.p, and many of the leading gentlemen of zee ant The dinner given to the suocesaful candidates took place lithe Town-hall, after which the prizes were distributed * the Right Hos. W. Cows; who pointed out to the suc mesful candidates the advantages of cultivating habits of Industry ' and honesty, sod sobriety. He atroogly reoom mended them to Mead a little more to the simple rules of health, bbeerving that there were many cottagers who bad oat yet discovered that Umiak which they breathed over and ever again became se foul and as dirty as the water in which they washed their hands. Many people were not aware that air became as dirty as water, just because they could set see the dirt is the air, but it was quite true that air which had been breathed over sad over spin was jest as unwholesome as dirty water would be to drink. Many were so afraid of admitting the cold air that they excluded the fresh air; they continued breathing the was sir over sad over again, thus sowing the seeds of dimeea which too frequently terminated fatally. The right hon, gentle- Mao concluded his remarks by recommending theeelabourers who had a little more than sufficed for their daily wants so mast the temptation of wasting their money in melees and wasteful indulgences, and to guard themselves against those Wig habits which too frequently deprived men of all poser et self-coutrol, and lead to their ultimate ruin. At the close of the right boo. gentleman's address., three hearty cheers were given for Lord Pahneestoo, and three mars for Lady Palmerston. Mr. COM'ER said he was quite certain Lord and Lady Palmerston would be very mach delighted to hear of the meaner in which their names had beau received. Nothing scald have kept his lordship away but illness, for he felt an especial interest io the swam of the society, and would be meet gratified is finding that two of the cottages on his es tates had received prizes, and that prizes had been awarded he persons emplovedoa hie farm for good conduct. A large party of the subecribars afterwards dined together at the White Home Hotel, Mr. Cowper presiding. The usual_loyal toasts were given, and reeved with the greatest cordiality. _ _ _ The CI111101•11, in proposing " The Army, the Navy, end the Volunteers." said—When we cast our eyes over the Omitinent and see in every direction perplexities and dit i. initial, wars and rumours of wars, we naturally look at bane to see whether our brave defenders are in a position to ere us security and peace. We see on the Continent, under the name of a desire to deliver and promote nations /it/as, most menacing deeigns, and there seems to be no real wound for satisfactory security except in the bravery and effiiency of our army, our navy, sod our volunteers. (Cheers.) Our arm/ have showa their proweu in recent as well as in mister times, and the men who have been beaten in a pitched battle are still fairly imprecated iu our existing army. (Cheers.) Our fleet, which has gained a victor) wherever it has appeared, has reached an amount of effi miescy which it never knew before, by means of • combina tion of newly-discovered mechanical skill, sod the energy of ow sailors. (Cheers.) Our volunteers, rising as they do with enthusiasm over the whole length and breadth of the itountry, .re the most sore guarantee that England need never fear the invasion of a foreign power. (Cheers.) I bow of no spectacle more gratifying to the English nation than the energy, the patience, the perseverance with which the volunteers have continued year after year to exercise themselves for a coming day, which may, and 1 hope is, fax distant, ad the sacrifice which they have made of time and amusement in order to fit them to defend, are worthy of all praise and of our utmost gratitude. (Loud cheers.) Lieut. Ittsor responded. Sir C. I t.tal.orsON then proposed "The health of Lord Palmerston," which was drunk with three times three, fol lowed by the same for Lady Palmerston. The CUMULUS. in proposing the toast of the evening, "Soma to the Romsey Labourers' Eocouragemeut Asso ciation," said—Everyone will admit that the condition of the agri.:nitural labourer has greatly Unproved in recent years. Our free trade policy and wise *gaieties bass chospec-xl the necessaries of life, and have placed with 4 o the reach of the labourtv luxuries and enjoyments which he could not before commend. But still there are many dis edvantagee and privations to which that class is exposed, and which we all earnestly desire to remedy. Ido not allude to such imaginary grievances as that of the tiller, of the soil not having any share in the ownership of the lend. Such a complaint as that rests upon a fallacy and a delu sion. If it were possible to make the labourers the owners et the land which they are tilling it would be • retrograde movement in agriculture. The great progress in agriculture of late years has been due to the coseentration and applica tfoo of :apital to an amount of land which is sufficient to justify - he favourable employment of that capital; sod it would be going back to times of less prosperity—it would be followivo the example of must,* boa prverrrow than Inked io agriculture—if we were to aim al such an absurd sad impassible object. (Rear, hear.) But in • humbler way there are many things which might be done to improve toe soeditiou of the labourer. It is distressing to find men unable to obtain cottages in which they can bring up their children decently. It is not the fault of the labourer that be is nut is a condition to build his own cottage or provide one for himself. He is obliged to depend upon what may be within his reach. It is also a subject of great regret that so vary few of the Labouring classes are able from their earnings to lay by sufficient to keep them in old age, if they sh•Juld not have children or relations who will under take the care of them. But what I desire for the agricul tural labourer is that he should have access to healthy and comfortable cottages—that be should have allotments of garden ground of sufficient am, and at • non-iderate rent, for his own cultivation—(hear, bear)—that he should be able to provide a good education for his children, and have opportunities for mental recreation for himself ; that he slio4ld have fair wages •for hie work, and should have within his reach that help which he needs in times of sickness and old age. (Hear, hear.) No doubt there is aniong,t the agricultural labourers a great want of skill in their spocial business. It has long been a cause of regret amongst those who are interested in the progress of the labouring loan, that he has pot that amount of skill and proficiency, which is so desirable. I think these associations have t.ikeo up that point in a very wise and practical manner, by applying tothe agricultural labourer that prin ciple which is so much admired, and which is so success ful in the present day—the principle of competitive exami nation --(hear, hear)—for what we really do is to examine by competition those agricultural labourers, in the Dope of stimulating them to acquire more skill, and to give more attention to that which is their proper bushiest in life. (Hear, bear.) This Is the way bi which thence of horses is improved, by the competition which takes place in our Derby sod St. Leger, and country rues. When perilous are really competing for an object which they value, they will apply all their energies to the work with an onimation and teal which they would not exert for the object aloes. Competition stimulates exertiou, and this Society has certainly been very useful in atimula tag the agricultural labourer to an improved exercise of his tools in the business in which he is employed. We shall Imre to require more skill in the agricultural labourer, we see that steam machinery is about to make a cosuidersble ehange is agriculture es it has already done in weaving, and in other branches of industrial manufacture, and we shall require men who are able to rasaage and deal with those steam engines which are beginning to wander over the country. I look with satisfaction upon this change under the aspect of its benefit to the labourer, for the result must he that the labourer becoming more of a skilled artisan will Dave higher wages, and be saved front much of that drudgery which has to be performed by manual labour. Ice every walk of industry the application of steam neschinery bas raised the condition of the workmen ; and so it must be with ohs agriculturist. The labourer, as well as the farmer soil the owner of land, will reap the bmiefit arising from the application of science and skill to the im plemeots of husbandry. (Hear, bear.) In a future year, I think, it will be well to bear this in mind in regard to the subjects to be tested by this competitive examination. (He.r, beer.) While skill should be the main object to be ie warded, I should be sorry to omit the offering of prizes for good moral conduct ; use there are a considerable number of agricultural labourirs • hose excellencies cannot I be tooted by any single occupation, but whete merits most be judged by the character they beer and the satisfactory way in which they bare performed their duties. By this combi aation we put forward both the merit of the workman god his moral character. We combine the skill and good be haviour, of thou persons who are pat for ward as an example for others to follow. (Hear.) I think this association certainly has been of great value. Although not en ambitious mode of benefiting the workman, it has bees practically useful, sad a seta:actor! mode of attaining the object; and I think you will all agree that in attending these meetings we are helping oo the good cause. (Hear, hair.) I cannot avothathirsi with thiee who would apply the rugged rules of polituad economy to the condition of the labourer. sod would say leave him alone ; let him be indepeedent ; doc't interfere with him ; leave him to the accidents of the labour market, or you will interfere with his independence. I °isnot take that view of the subject. I think that the labounog men who join in reaping the harvest, which gives food and wealth to the country, are deserving of the utmost sympathy and assistance wherever auto be given by the ic auentiel members of the community. (Hear. hear.) Although oar agricultural labourers do not risk their lives for their country, they employ them in • useful and belie f cial occupation, and the gratitude which the rest of the community ought to feel towards then, should be shown by doing what lies in oar power to remove the difficulties, the isconyealusees, and the privatioes with which they are effikted. lam sure that every right minded tray will be *axioms to do everything in his power to improve the con dition of the labouring chums. Them ere era in which parsons may do harm whoa they think they ere doing good, Dot this association shows a useful and beneficent way of bringing public attention to bear on the condition of the labouring classes and assisting in the development of their good qualities by the force of public opinion. (Cheers.) he toast was drunk with the venal loooury Several other toasts of a local ohmmeter wore then given sad reepoetled to.

He een chiefly aimed is tie Newfaandiend trade, see had matinee establishments and pemmican is that mil• ma 2tESPITS OP TOWNLEY. At the Warwick quarter sessions, ou Wednes day, Sir John Emdley Wilmot, the Recorder for Warwick, in Margise the grand jury, referred to the greet iumertainty of the law in this country with regard to the carrying out of capital punishment. The case which called for the re marks offered was, he amid, familiar to all of them—a case which only received its solution • few digs ago. He alluded t o George Alder TOlritley, who was tried at the winter mime at Derby by the same judge—Mr. Bares Martin— who presided in the curt at Warwick. The jury, after full coanderation, found the man at wilful minder, notwithstanding the question of insanity had hoes raised and fully placed before them. The pri soner received from the Judge the capital sentence of the law, and it was not until after that had beat done that the public mind was agitated by remarks respecting the actual state of the primates mind. He (the Recorder) for one could not but exam; his own opinion, formed by what he read of the trial, and the whole facts of the case, that Townley wee insane, not only at the time of his trial, but that he was also imam when be committed the murder. Although the jury found him guilty, they were all well aware it would be revolting in the extreme that any penal should be executed in an maenad date of stied. In such • ewe, all the advantages arising from example would be lost, and the deterrent effects destroyed. The Lord Chief Justice Hale bed said of such„furiams sole juror plusher, which signified that the madman was ouffitesetly punished by his own malady. The question then reetamed to be answered, what was to be does? It appeared that by the 3 sad 4 V ic., entitled "An act for making further pro vision for the conhoement and maintenance of insane prisoners„" the Secretary of State bed power to direct Cm removal of Townley to an asylum upon the regularly signed certificate of his lunacy. That course had been pur. sued and adopted ; the cortihorie having been forwarded to the Secretary of State, he had directed his removal to a place of confinement. That case appeared to him (Sir Eardley W ilmot), and he could not help making the re mark, to demand the a public revision of the law should be made, in order that the inconsistencies and tumor- Minas, attending capital convictions might be for ever does away with. Because, if the man was imam when he took his trial, and Mr. Gisborne, the =Maas of the Gsol, a highly respectable medical prectitioser, and Dr. Forbes Winslow, one of the highest authorities, had proved that be was, and the governor of the gaol agreed with them, then be ought never to have been put upon his trial for the charge. All text writers upon the criminal law in this country had laid down the principle that if a man was Willie he ought not to be placed upon his trial while in an unsound state of mind ; and therefore it was, he argued, that, presuming Townley to have been in sane at the time of his trial, be ought not to have been placed at the bar ; for other steps might have been taken which would have prevented much of the dissatisfaction which has arisen in the country in consequence of the course pur sued since his condemnation. By the act Geo. 111., 39 and 40, cep. 94, it was provided that a jury be empausellol, and try the case of the prisoner's sanity before the facts oonstitutiag the charge satirist him were heard. But it was true the wording of the act, as applied to Townley's case, predicted some difficulty. It said :—" If a man ap pears mane." It was not needful to tell them that there were many cam of insanity, and in some of them the sufferer would not " appear" to be insane. as he did in others. With Townley it was the question of a man labour ing under • description of insanity which did not manifest itself in any outward violent act. There were several difficulties is the manner of dealing with those criminal lunatics. The first difficulty arose from the imperfect character of the ordinary test, as laid down by text writers—namely, that the ability to distinguish between right and wrong applied in all oases. The law had said that if a man had the power or ability to recognise right from wrong, then be was a responsible agent, and amenable foe his actions. But the criterion itself had been, and was differently applied, as the following illustra tion would seem to show :—ln the case of Hadfield, who was tried for shooting st King George 111. when in the theatre, it we. shown that he had the power to dietinguials right from wrong ; that he was • man who was himself tired of his life, and shot at the King in order that he might be killed. He was defended by Lord Erskine, and very promily the jury _acquitted him. Then as also the cam thetit man Arnol d, who shot at Lord Onslow. He was tried by the Chief Justice Tiscey, found guilty, sentenced, and executed, although objectives were raised that he was laboutiog under the power of a particular dalusioo. Theo there was Billingham, who shot Mr. Percival in the lobby of the House of Commons, in the time of George IV. Many of the members of his family were insane, and in these days he would have been considered suffering from a malady hereditary in his family. Yet in consequence of the public indignation, sod notwithstand ing that the mine defence was raised as in the case of Had field, he was 000 demoed and executed. Next came Martin, who, though perfectly sane upon mere subjects, imagined that be hada mission from the Almighty to set fire to York Minster, and did it. At bis trial he wee found te be of unsound mind, sod his life spared. Lord rimers was tried before the Home of Peers f.ir shooting at his own steward. At the time he was labouring under the idea that his steward was or bad does him wrong. The plea of insanity was set up, but it wee unavailing. These cases were suffi cient to show that the present ordinary test as to a men's ability to distinguish right from wrong, being differently applied, it was desirable to make an alteration. There was also another difficulty emitted by the progrea mule by medical science since the time when the ordinary criterion before alluded to was laid down by text writers upon ch ariest law. There were now in existence two tests—the legal test and the medical test. And the truth was, the old criterion of the criminal's ability to dating:oh be tween right and wrong was no test at all of his sanity ; be cause • man may be able to do that, and yet be the subject of some uncontrollable influence, presenting him in some particular instance recognising in what wrong consisted. A man, for instance, might know that murder was an offence against his counts., for the commission of which he would be hanged ; end yet he might fancy some person was hie mortal enemy, and that he was perfectly justified in taking his life, lest be should deprive him of Ilia own. There was also • third difficulty to be contended against, and it was one which arose from the fact that the question of the prisoner's inanity wee raised after his trial instead of before it. Insanity, as • defence, was kept back until the man was either arraigned at the bar or bad been condemned, and then it was brought forward. In nine uses out of ten the crown was not aware of the nature of the defence until it was actually set up. The question then was, what steps ought to be taken to remedy this uncertain and unsatisfactory state of things? The public mind was deeply agitated by the subject ; and, in consequence of what had taken piece it had bees urged that the revocation of the verdicts of juries tended only to deprive them of their usual terror, and, also, that in thin country there was one law for the rich mau and another for the pour man. That was to say, • rich criminal bad that which could bring hie case before the Secretary of State; he bad powerful and in- Buechel friends, who could appeal on his behalf through the columns of the press, end altogether possessed Teeny advantages • poor man did not enjoy. To alter the pre sent state of things, sod remove the evil so loudly com plained of, ha thought that the following particulars must be observed :—The question of sanity or insanity should always be raised before the prisoner was pot upon his trial, and in no case afterwards. The exception to this would be in those oases where a man committed murder at a time when he was inane; but on trial manifested the oenel marks of sanity. But thee, the defence to be set up is his behalf ought to be always given to the prono minal before the trial took place. in both cases these ad vantages would result. In the former, a jury would te empannelled to try the state of his mind before he was tried for the murder ; in the latter the prosecution on behalf of the crown would have an opportunity afforded of fully investigating the case before it as before the jury, and if posailde, to bring in coaster evidence to show that the prisoner was perfectly one when he committed the murder. end therefore ought to suffer the penalty of the law. With reference to the case of Townley, be did not know whether the promoutioe had any evidence to show that he ma sane, but certainly it wee not put in. There was this extraordinary fact in conemios with that trial. He had seen it shied in the public papers, and they were his only authority, that the judge who presided had intimated his opinion that a commission was seermary is order to ascertain if be really was lessee. He (the Kameda) thought that if the two safeguards he had mentioned were embodied and made law, the country would be much benefited. But they would only apply to such cease ; the plea of insanity was set up am defence. There were other cases of murder for which special pro vhion ought to be made. In the cease of Dr. Smethurst wed Jessie JeLaughlan the question of enmity was sot raised at all ; still it was neasaa&ry to have a criminal court of appeal fur them, if fact& transpired favourable to the prisoner subsequent to his trial, or fresh evidence was obtained showing that the jury bad taken a wrongful view of the cam Juries were sot infallible, and it would be far from their wish that their own opiates should be taken as usexceptimehle and without error. For a number of years bellied earnestly sod 000tionously advocated the re moval of whet be considered to be • defect in our criminal jerieprodence, end had pleaded for the formation of some ulterior tribunal is cases of wital punishments. =however, he would have Wally copepod to these cams ; for it was not seeemary, at all events not at present. to go so far as to extend the privilege to all mess whatever. Against the system of appeals some had objected that it would tend w make junto negligent in the discharge of their duties. Knowing that there was a messed wart to try the came over again, they might be M essed to pay lee e attention to eases than they do at pow I sent, sad tdore, instead of • besefit swims' to the there would be snmaileitdiewhastage. ilississwer was. that in all ems in this couatry where appeals might follow the medals of juries, he had faded to discover that they were lees madams or careful. Having retorted to several other perticelare by way of showing the greet desire bility of the alteratioes proposed, the Recorder coseleded his observations by stating that, three years agq he and Sir Fitzroy Kelly prepared a maims for the Hoses of Coatrooms tor mess of criminal speed ; but, that MINI sentro, Mr. )(abhors forestalled them by latreduehag • bill with a venue precisely similar. That nanare was defeated. The rules of the benne wield set permit the introduction of agleam bill that swine, sad in that way the subject dropped.

In the charge to she grand jury the noble chairman /ski, thick with reformat to the car of sedate moons who had bra committed for unlawfully and riotously &rambling and disturbing the pace, the law in the matter was that if any urge number of persons assembled together and pve reaeonable awes for fear sod apprehension that a riot would roue, it was an unlawful and criminal ad, and it was the duty of all persons, whether in so official position or sot, to prevent, if possible, such ae reembly, and any weans &trading such ptherregs berme equally guilty of a ermined and unlawful wt. His lordship observed that he red say nothing more co the case, as the remarks he had made would hs quite sufficient to suable them to in quire into it, as far es their provisos extended. At half-past three the fraud jury returned s true bill against James Tyson, Denial Morns. Joseph Goss, William Riau alias William Broome. and John Oewy foe " hay" tog es the 21st day Cl October, 1863, unlawfully end riot onaly assembled and disturbed the_peece at Watferd ; other counts charged beating against Tyra and Morris ; and in the nth count all the defendants were jointly charged with having been " unlawfully assembled together and ar rayed in warlike moaner to minks an affray is contempt of our Lady the Queen, and her laws, sod to the evil sa mple of all people." In presetting the bill the foreman of the grand jury, ad dragon the noble Chairmao, rid—l bays been requested, my lad, by my brother grand jurymen, to bring before you the or of the poliosmee espied at the prize fight. It oselnialy appears they did all they could in endeavouring to dissuade the parties, and to bring the fight to an end, bat it also appears that there were ally two of them among a lot of rough fellows, sad of course they were quite powerlas a. It bas 'rooms knows to us that they have bees at • loos of wages as well u suffering in another sr" but my brother jurymen think with me that that ought not to be. They seem to have done their duty as well as soy MIS could. The Earl of Verulani—l think you are quite right, gee- Queen of the grand jury, to make any presentment you think fit under the oircurnstetues.l Shortly before fi ve o'clock the defendant. were called, and answered to their names. Mr. Clark, instructed by Mr. T. W. Blau of St. Albans, clerk to the magistrates at Watford, condtioted the case for the prosecution ; Mr. Codd, instructed by Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough Wet, Loudon, de fended Joseph Go., William Evans (alias William Broome), and Mr. John Gooey The defenduts Tyson sod Morris were not re pr e sente d by counsel. For the information of the uninitiated it may be stated that a fight having been arrange between Tyson and Morris, {home worthies, with their friends, commenced at Trim, but could not settle the matter there in consequence of police interference, but did manage to bring it oft " at Watford despite the interference of the county constabulary, who were badly treated. at least so it is generally averred. The defeodants Goss and Evans took an active part as second', and Mt. Coney accepted the office of referee, a duty that has to be performed now under the probable penalty of being mad" amenable in • court of justice. Mr. Gadd, addressing the bench, said that he wished to offer • few words before the defendants were arraigned. Bs appeared as counsel far Mr. Coney, Mr Goya, and Mr. Evans, and having looked through the depositions and carefully considered all the facts he had communicated with hie learned Mud Mr. Clark, who appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and suggested that the defendant. should be permitted, with the approbatios of the court, to plead guilty to hula( committed • breach of the peace, on the undemanding that they would only have to ester into re cognimoces to emu up for judgment when called upon. To that suggestion Mr. Clark had agreed. AB to the other two defendants, he (Mr. Codd) could only say that they would be wise to adopt the same coarse if the noble chairman and the bench would allow it to be adopted. Mr. Clark said be appeared for the prosecution, and wen quite satisfied that on the facts of the case • verdict for the cr own could not be resisted, and having conferred with his learned friend, he felt that, subject to the sanction of the court, the end desired would be attained if the defendants entered into duerecognimances on the noderstanding that they would not be called upon unless they committed • breach of the peace. The object of the prosecution was not to gratify any vindictive feeling, it was not so much to punish as to prevent, and to show that although there was an opinion is some places that prize fighting was not illegal, that opinion was erroneous, and that in the liberty of St. Albans at all event. it wan so considered. Should pugilists attempt such an act again they might not be allowed to go away so leniently ; but looking at the maia view of the prosecution, which was prev en tion for the future rather this punishment for the past, he (Mr. Clark) thought the court might fairly, if they so plumed, adopt the course that had been proper There was one other rr mark he wished to nuke with refereed to the presentment of the grand jury. It did appear, no doubt, that the police did all that they could, and that as far se they could they did their duty ; but the parties at the fight were determined that it should proceed, so that the two policemen there were perfectly useless, although they did all they could they were entirely impotent and unable to repress it. With ra gird to the defendants he (Mr. Clark) left the niattarie the hands of the bench for them to deal withas they thought et. Mr. Codd was anxious to point out to the bench that, with regard to Mr. Coney he was not • fighting mos, but • gentleman of respectability. Having certainly be present he had undertaken th e o ff ice of referee, e nd that showed at all event. that the men had coofidenee in him. The evidence merely however showed that he had a watch in his head+ Mr. Clark thought his learned friend had better not go into the case. Mr. Codd merely mentioned the fact to the court and un dentood his learned friend to ogres to the proposition. Mr. Clark would sot presume to dictate to the court, but merely to my that if the bench thought fit to adopt the suggestion, he should not object on the part of the prosecu- WM. The beach having consulted, the chairman intimated that they taunted. i. Codd would only ask that the defendants should be bound over for • limited time. Mr. James Durant, the deputy clerk of the pesos, said the defendants would thoroughly understand that the re cognisance" not only applied to the liberty of St. Amass, but to all her Majesty's subjects. (A murmur of surprise in the body_ of the court). Mr. Codd said that was at course. The several ddeuelante then pleaded guilty, sad The Chairman said—You. James Tyson, Daniel Morris, Joseph Gan, William Buns (otherwise known as William Broome), and you. John Cum, have pleaded guilty to an indictment for unlawfully and riotously assembling and disturbing the peace, and the sentence of the court upon you is. that you be bound over each of you in the sum of 504, and find two sureties of 25/. each, wow surety of 501., to keep the pain for twelve months towards all her Majesty's subjects, and any sae of you not having these sureties will be kept in custody for that time, and I cos. eider you exceedingly fortunate in having so lenient a sentence. The necessary bail was duly entered into, and the defend ants left the court, and soon after the town. The court was cleanly crowded throughout the day with anxious sightseere. MAIIIHTS.

Some of these services Were often attended with as much risk and toil as those of the lifeboats which actually saved life. The Itamegete life boat, in ocesjunction with the steam tug Aid, belonging to the Board of Trade, also performed a noble service on the night of the 2nd ult. in rescuing, during a fearful gale of wind, 102 lives from the emigrant ship Fusilier, of Loudon, and eighteen men from the barque Demerara, of Greenock.

He was found insensible, but Bacon succeeded nevertheless in bringing him ashore, and afterwards, with some help, in conveying the poor man to a cottage. Many more cases of daring acts during the recent storms might be detailed did space permit. However, it is satisfactory to knew that 374 lives were saved from different wrecks during the storms of the past month by the lifeboats of the institution, and other means —a most gratifying and encouraging sia, and showing clearly the noble and strenuous efforts that are now constantly put forth to save shipwrecked sailors, mainly through the instrumentality of this valuable and patriotic society.

The Board of Trade inquiry into the circum stances attending the stranding of the Anglia steamship, be loomeg to the Atlantic Royal Mail :tram Navigation Com pany, on Black Rock, in the Bey of Galway, early on the meowing of the 10th of November last was resumed and eateloded yesterday, ribs Onienwich Police wart, before Mr. Trail!, magistrate, and Captain Mania, serial usassac. At the tiler d the endwise, Captain Harris said the whole far apprised to him to be simply whether it was prudent or inprideut for Grier Prawn to eater the harbour et the time stated. From the facts es he Erhard are, the vessel was doe in Galway at 4 p.m., of the9tb, sad Black Head was made at&3o p.m. or I very sear the proper time. At the timed finding the weather thick, he thought Captain Prows. had acted prudently and properly in putting back for the night, having Bred gee aid used Moe lights so a signal fora pilot, and no pilot conies on board. On the Admiralty chart the light on Mottos Island was marked as bearing E. by N., aad not E. N. le his opinion, cie entering the harbour, every procautioe, such as heaving the lead was canted out, bat it appeared they bad been groping a bout at eight for a buoy, about which there was no need to care if the light was visible and ahead. It must also be taken into consideration that the was very narrow, the angle not being more than %de wa s:or and that it required great nicety in navigating at night time. He could sot therefore help thinking that he (Captain Prows.) was hardly justified in running in at night. time before daylight, and, as a prudent commander, he (Captain Harris) would not have done so him self.
