Last night's performance was for the benefit of Madame Arabella Goddard, whose name has from the first been associated with these concerts by her many ad !nimble interpretations of classical pianoforte works, both solo and accompanied. It will he seen from the following programme that last night's seleztion included ono very special feature. l'Ar.T I. Quartet, In 11 minor, MM Joachim, L. Ries, Uciiry mid Piatti Recit , " !wiper and i!eeinr still" " Watt her, Lintel*" PoPhthalli Mr. Ciimmintra Grand Sonata, in 11 Cat. Op. Itai hot time at the Motelay Popular Pono.rt.

In C major, No. 2, for Vtolouccllo , Signor I•iatti Sow, •• The sonnet," Mr. eumminza Sonata. in A major, Op. 47, Pianoforte and Vlo lin, Madame Arabella Goddard and Herr Joa chim Beethoven. The feature to which we allude is, of course, Beet hoven's great solo pianoforte sonata, the most gigantic among the many colossal works of the kind included in the marvellous series of thirty-two such pieces which he has bequeathed to the wondering admiration of posterity. Notwithstanding the enonnons length of the work, three times that of an ordinary sonata, each move ment was listened to with unflagging interest by the large audience assembled in St. James's-hall. The first allegro, with its alternations of stately grandeur and graceful fancy—the melodious scherzo with its quaint trio— the profoundly pathetic adagio—and the ela• borate finale, with its complex fugal writing—were all received with an amount of interest and an expression of applause affording a curious comment on some of the current depreciatory criticism on Beethoven's later works. The execution of mach movement of the sonata was admirable in every respect ; while the playing of the finale, with its rapid paartages, intricate involutions and inversions of subject and counter-subject, and the con stant succession of shakes thrown in amidst an abund ance of other and simultaneous difficulties—alto gether formed • truly remarkable performance, Admirable also, on both sides, was the playing in Beethoven's duct sonata—alike in the realisation of the noble majesty of its first movement, the tenderness and grace of its andante with variations, and the hilarious vivacity of its concluding presto. More perfectly played it could not be, and its effect on the audience was such as to call forth repeated expressions of delight as each artist in turn gave effect to the many exquisite beauties of the work. The concert was also highly interesting in other respects—Mozart's beautiful quartet being always welcome, especially when so admirably played as it was last night. THE FENIAN MOVEMENT. DUBLIN, MONDAY Nicer. All is quiet in the city and in the provinces. It is reported that signal fires were seen on the Cap pathwhite mountains, county Limerick, on Sunday night. Troops and constabulary went in that di rection to day. Owing to the severity of the wea ther (there was a snowstorm during the whole of this day) the usual ceremonial of " trooping the colours ' in the Castle-yard on St. Patrick's-day was not performed. There were but thirty-eight charges of drunkenness in the Dublin . police-court to-day ' • the average charge on a Monday for this offence being 300. MIDDLE CLASS SCHOOLS CORPORATION. —The annual meeting of the governors of this corporation was held at the Mansion-house yesterday, the Lord Mayor in the chair. The corporation was inaugurated on the 22rd of July last. During the first quarter there were 518 scholars educated in the school in Bath-street. The number is now 050, and there are 200 applications for admission which cannot be entertained in consequence of want of accommodation. Other schools are about to be built to accommodate 1,000 scholars. A report, embody ing these statements, was presented to the meeting from the council. Mr. Tile, M.P., who moved its adoption, said 51,Gilf. had been received from the public for the support of the institution. The working of the school had fully proved the need of the class of education provided, and if there were room the number of scholars could be easily doubled. New schools were projected iu Lambeth and Southwark. With 1.000 scholars the school would be self-supporting. The adoption of the report having been seconded by Mr. Freshtield, M.P., the reso- lution was unanimously canied. It was determined also to make fresh appeals for funds. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor concluded the proceedings. FISHERY SOC I ETV. — 7 l'ho annual general meeting of this society was held at Willis's Rooms yester day, Mr. i_km. Loch in the chair. The progress of the works of the new harbour at I'ulteney-town during last season has, according to the engineer,' report, been satis factory. One hundred and ninety-eight feet of masonry have been executed during the season, the whole length completed being 508 feet. The outer portion of the work is built in a depth of 35 feet at low water, making the total height of the structure at the outer end lei feet. The nibble mole has been extended 140 feet beyond the masonry, so that the whole projection of the works into the bay is now 738 feet. The structure hss been severely tried on several occasions, particularly in the storms of October and November, 1665, and February, 1866, and although the work was in an unfinished state, the aggre gate amount of damage done to the permanent work, on those three occasions, was only 30:2. 7s. lid. The engineers add, " It cannot be expected that the whole will be finished without some case or CMS of greater damage, but yet the fact of the works in their unfinished state having so successfully resisted the unusually heavy seas of Wick Bay augurs well for their stability after their completion. The probable expenditure for next season is estimated at 15,0001. The receipts from the society's estate is lniin amounted to 2,2021. 10d. • and the expenditure to 9091. 12 1 . 341. ; leaving • balan ce of 1,202/. 19,. 7d. The directors recommended that • divi dend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum be paid on the Ist of May on each &OZ. share. After the adoption of the report, and the transaction of some formal betimes, the proceedings terminated. TRADES UNION COMMISSION. —The above com mission sat yesterday at Park-prospect-honee Queen. street, Westminster, Sir W. Erie presiding. Messrs. G. Potter, Connolly, Kane, and Prouaoot again attended as • deputation from the Trades Conference Committee, for the purpose of expressing the dissatisfaction of the com mittee with the decision arrived at by the commissioners on Friday last not to allow any member of the committee to be present at the commiss ion while the witnesses were under examination. The conuuisaioners having discussed the matter with eloped doors, the deputation were re-ad mitted, and were hafortued that the commissioners had consented to allow one member of the committee to attend the commiasion during the examination of wit mime, thus virtually acknowledgintthe committee. THE NATIONAL REFORM UII I ON. —A special meeting of the executive of the National Reform Union is convened by circular for to-day, to consider what course they will adopt in relation to the government reform measure. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENINO, MARCH 19, 1867. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (arusza's namomsas.) FRANCE. THE LEGISLATIVE BODY. PARIS, MAacB 18. . . _ In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body the debate upon the interpolation of M. Thiers relative to the foreign policy of the government was re sumed. M. Jules Fevre declared that France ought to have prevented Italy from forming an alliance with Prussia ; but the policy of France had always failed in preciseness. " The speech of the Emperor Napoleon at Auxerre," said M. Jules Fevre, " signified a summons to Germany to give us the Rhine. Our programme, which comprised the maintenance of Austria in a grand position in Germany, was openly violated, and to permit this violation of our programme was a policy unworthy of France. The ambition of Prussia knows no bounds. The cause of the present situation of affairs is the extinction of the Legislative Body by the power of one man. At the present time we ought to go to the limits of our rights. We ought to repudiate all ides of annexation, but I would I ask if the annexation of Belgium or Luxembourg were offered us would it be accepted 1" M. Grainer de Cassagnac then delivered a speech, in which he said—" We must threaten no Power, but be armed and await the course of events. We wish for peace, if other Powers will have it so; for war, if it be imposed upon us." M. Thiers then rose to call the attention of the house to the present poli tical state of affairs in Europe. He said—" There are three lines of policy open to France : First, a policy of insinuation, which would make Europe believe that when we speak of great agglomerations we desire to increase our own territory. This is the policy I should wish the government to rutin finish. I should like to see the formation of a great conservative party in Europe, which should prevent all spoliation. Secondly, a policy of con tidence in our ruler. Thirdly, a policy of watch fulness, which would not necessarily cause a com plete reorganization of our army, but a new organization of our military forces. The policy I desire for France would be conservative abroad and liberal at home." M. Rouher denied that there was anything contradictory in the government bill for the reorganization of the army and the state ment made by the government, that France is secure under present circumstances. M. Rouher then replied to the new criticism of M. Thiers on the principle of nationality, and said "The govern ment does not think to impede abroad the principle of the sovereignty of the people which it holds at home. Universal suffrage sanctioned the imperial government which was inaugurated on Dec. 2." M. Thiers (interrupting M. Rouher) " Let us forget—" (Loud interruptions and great excitement.) M. ltouher continued to refute M. Thiers, and con cluded thus :—" What is required of us I War ! No one thinks of it. Violent annexations I No one has proposed them. A policy of watchfulness ? That is the policy of the government. Our isola tion has been mentioned. We will have no exclu sive alliances. To-day we will be the allies of England ; to-morrow, of Prussia or Austria ; and that not with the object of conquest, but to solve by conciliatory diplomatic interference the various, questions as they arise. We seek great means to allay great storms." The passing of the order of the day was then agreed to by 21.9 against 43, and the sitting con cluded. HUNGARY. _ PES7II, M.Lactt 18. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet, Herr Militeis proposed the dis cussion of the report of the Hungarian and Croatian committee, and the presentation of a petition to his Majesty, praying for the speedy convocation of the Croatian Diet, and the suspension of the cau tion of the patent for the reorganisation of the army in Croatia. The government announcedthat the Groszwardein, Klaussenburg, and lironstadt Railway would be promoted, and that a bill would be laid before the house to complete the entire railway system throughout Hungary. Yesterday afternoon the first ministerial council, under the presidency of his Majesty the Emperor, was held ; the council lasted four hours. In the evening his Majesty visited the National Theatre, and was most warmly received. SWITZERLAND. BERNE, MARCH IR. The subscription to the Swiss Federal Loan of 12 millions of francs for the purpose of improving the national arimunent was opened to-day. The Federal Council declared to keep back six mil lions of the amount at par. For the six millions left open to the public 12 millions were subscribed, six of which it was offered to take at par, eleven at 98, and two at a lower figure. RUSSIA. BT. PETERSBURG, MARCH 18. The Russian government has for the present re linquished its intention of selling the Moscow and St. Petersburg Railway. THE PARIS BOURSE. PARIS, MARCH 18, 3.30 r.M. The Bourse continues flat.

The Senate has passed a supplement to the Re construction Bill, instructing the commanders of the military districts in the South to take measures for completing the registration of the voters by September next, and to then cause an election to be made in each State. The majority of the voters thus registered are to decide whether a convention should be held in order to form a constitution, to be submitted to the people and to Congress. NEW YORK, BUNCH 18, NOON. -- _ _ The New York herald asserts that Mr. John son, in reply to a Fenian delegation who waited upon him to ask for belligerent rights for the Fenian', said he would give the question the moat serious consideration, such as was necessary to decide a matter of so great importance.

PARIS, MONDAY Emma The France says that the Langrand-Dumunoeau scheme relative to church property in Italy is " entirely abandoned." This news, coming from such a source, is important, because the juste milieu party to which the France belongs has hitherto represented that the Pope was disposed to come to friendly terms with Italy on, the basis of that project. - -M. de Girardin, whale appeal was met down for hearing on March 22, announces that, after mature reflection, he has resolved not to go on with it for three reasons. First, that after the presentation of the new law abolishing the punishment of imprison ment for press misdemeanors, it would be morally impossible for the public prosecutor to appeal d minima, and, therefore, there is no peril to be braved. Second, that inasmuch as he stands con demned to the maximum of the fine by the exist ing law it would be undignified and trivial to attempt to get it reduced ; and, thirdly, that even winning an acquittal, it would make. no change in the painful determination which he has irrevo cably taken—meaning his determination to cut the Emperor and all his relations. He begs publicly to thank the eloquent, illustrious, and eminent coun sel who had spontaneously offered their services to the " condemned of March 6." j The Imperial Court, presided by First President Devienne, has just reversed a judgment of the Tribunal of Commerce, relating to the sale of M. ! Victor Hugo's " Travailleurs de la Mer." In March, 1866, the appellant, M. Millaud, proprietor lof the non-political journal Le Soled, made a coa -1 tract with M. Victor Hugo's publishers, MM. Lacroix, Verbwckhoven, and Co., by virtue of which he acquired the right to publish the " Tra vailleurs de la bier " as a serial in the fenilkton of the &led, in consideration of 25,0001 r., of which 15,000 fr. was paid down and 10,000 fr. was to be paid on April 30, and further a sum of 501 r. for every thousand numbers of tho Soled contain ing the " Travailleurs de la Mer " over and above the issue of 30,000 copies. MM. La croix and Co. at the same time covenanted nat to sell any copy of the " Travailleurs de la Mer" (until its publication in the Soleil was completed) under the original price of 18fr. The success of M. Millaud's speculation was at first very great, and the circulation of the Soled rose to 49,000. But on April 25 the Evinement (conducted by M. de Villemesaant) announced that pursuant to an arrangement made with MM. Lacroix and Co. it was enabled to offer the three volumes of the " Travailleurs de la Mer" as a premium to all sub scribers to the Erokemetd for six months. The six months' subscription being only 22fr. it was evident that MM. Lacroix and Co. must have supplied copies of the " Travailleurs de la Mer" to M. de Villemessant at a price far below that of 18fr. Nevertheless, the Tribunal of Commerce dismissed M. Millaud's action against MM. Lacroix with costa, on the ground that the discount allowed to M. de Ville moment for taking a certain number of copies did not constitute a sale to the public at a lower price than the stipulated one of 18fr., and that DIDI. Lacroix had nothing to do with the terms on which it suited the Ethiee‘eur to supply the work to their subscribers. But the Appeal Court held (most justly, as it appears to me) that the trans action was a mode of doing indirectly, and to the prejudice of the appellant, that which the re spondents had covenanted expressly not to do. In reversing the judgment the court ordered MM. Lacroix to repay to M. Millaud the sum of 15,000 fr. they had received ; and as a set-off for further damages, declared DI. Millaud released from the p►yment of the rest of the purchase money, 3131. Lacroix to pay all costs, both of original hearing and appeal. The inflexible rule of the English Court of Chan cery that costs of an appeal are never given against the judgment of the court below does not prevail here ; and in this respect I think the French law better than ours. PARIS, SUNDAY EVVaNG. The Emperor has in M. Rouher a minister whose eloquence is worthy of the best parlia mentary times. His answer to M. Thiers reads extremely well ; contains many " thoughts that breathe and words that burn ;" and is plausible enough not only to confirm wavering imperialists in their faith, but even to make converts among those who have not narrowly scrutinized the course of events from day to day, and especially l among those who may not take the trouble to read • the refutation of Ins sophistries by M. Jules Fevre. When he says that Germany was very obsti nate iu desiring the acquisition of Holstein ; that the Emperor, though honestly desirous to recommend i the strict execution of the treaty of 1852, which defined the rights of the Danish crown, refused to join England in a naval demonstration in the Baltic unless England would promise to join him in a war on the continent, which alone, in his opinion, could be decisive ; when he would have it supposed tlia:; it was only in the last extremity that France proposed that the Seldeawig-Holstein question should bo decided by an " appeal to the populations ;" and when he said that the question of German unity, though accidentally brought to a head by the Danish question, would have come upon the hyis, before long, on some other pretext ; and that France, sincerely desirous of peace, had offered her mediation after Sadowa, and so prevented the Prussians from marching into Vienna, he makes out a case which even an intelligent reader of the class which pores over the Muniteur posted up on the walls of the prefecture or the mayoralty, must find it hard to answer. But M. Jules Fevre, in the commencement of a speech which will be finished to-morrow, sternly told M. Rouher that all his excuses were nullified by facts, by official French despatches, by the last speech from the throne, and finally, by his own admissions. It is true that Germany has long aspired after unity, but the realisation of the aspi ration might have been long deferred. It is true that the Schleswig-Holatein difficulty led to the explosion, but it was entirely the fault, not to say the express plotting, of the Emperor, which made that question the occasion fur the war. In asking England to join in a continental war against Prus sia the Emperor well knew he was making a proposal that would not be accepted. In pretending that a naval demonstration of England and France, which Russia would have supported, would have been insufficient to maintain the treaty in favour of Denmark, he was nut sincere. The real object was to retaliate upon England fur not having come into the congress ho had proposed ; and to raise up a state of things from which he hoped to get an ex tension of territory. The anguish" which M. Randier admitted he felt, in common with all the other ministers, on July 4, alter the battle of Bedew& showed that the " satisfaction " expressed in M. navalette's circular in September following, and in the Imperial speech, was an afterthought, and a bowing to sad necessity. The Libertt says, at the conclusion of an article in answer to M. Roaher's reply to M. Thiers, (STAMP, 1& " that the French government has not committed a single fault." The proof of this assertion is, that France, which formerly furnished a contingent of 100,000 men only, will now be drilled universally in the use of the needle-gun, and that the human race in France will be bifurcated on a new system of selection, all the able-bodied men being taken for the army, and the infirm being left to continue the species. This ingenious system, if applied to the chevaline, bovine, or ovine races, would extinguish them in the enures of ten years. What can be plainer than that no fault has been committed ? The Union de la Sarthe has received from a French merchant in Mexico a letter containing the following passage : The professed object of the intervention was to pro- tect our interests. Before the intervention Frenchmen had no enemies in Mexico; all the natives, whether liberals or moservatives, held out to them a friendly hand. And now that the French army is about to retire, whether having accomplished its mission or not, we are detested by everybody ; and the only tabula in saufracio left to us is the little bit of paper which gives all Frenchmen resid ing in Mexico the opportunity to go home with the French army if they wish it. The Amur National, commenting on the above, says :—" It would be superfluous to dwell upon this picture, so painfully accurate, of the situation in which our countrymen have been placed by the fatal Mexican expedition." It is now announced that by the end of April the last soldier of the Mexican army of occupation will have returned to France. It was only so re cently as April, 180, that M. Rouher proudly said in the Corps Legislatif that, come what might, the army would not return without having fully ' achieved the purpose for which it went out. He, of course, cannot say anything of the kind now, after the notorious failure of the enterprise, admitted in the speech from the throne. But publiccontidence in M. Rouher's declarations, however clear, and posi tive, and eloquent, is necessarily shaken by the Mexican mishap. IHE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT. BERLIN, MAnca 18, EVEWIG. In to-day's Bitting of the North German parlia ment, the debate upon the paragraphs of the draft of the constitution commenced. (In Art. 1 being brought for ward for discussion, the Polish members handed in the protest of which they had given notice against the incor poration of the former Polish territory into the North Uernalui Confederation. Count Illsn.incit spode against the protest, which he said was directed, not against the North German Confede ration, but against the unity of Prussia, and ought there foie to be addressed to the l'russian Diet, and not to the North German Parliament. Moreover (he said), the Polish deputies were not authorised by their electors to bring in such a protest, as toe majority of the Prunio-Polish popu lation were satisfied with their condition, especia ll y the peasants, who hail valiantly fought as P russian soldiers against Denmark and Austria. Only the nobility and clergy of Poland carried on political agitation. Count Bismarck proceeded to prove from official reports that that the clew had threatened to refuse absolution to those who voted for Delman deputies. "It is time," he added, " that the higher clergy did their duty. The re storation of Poland is not to be thought of. A great por tion of the Polish population itself would not hear of such a thing. Let the Polish deputies go hand inbaud with the North German Confederation." Upon the coucluhiou of Count Bismarck's speech the deputies favourable to Denmark brought forward a pro test against the incorporation of North tichestrig with the Confederation. Thereupon Count BISMAIIK again rose and opposed this protest in a speech in which he said :—" The Lmperor of Austria alone has the right, by virtue of the Austro Prussisn treaty, to require that a vote should be taken in North Schleswig to determine the future position of the northern districts of that duchy. It is a matter of small importance for the power of the Prussian monarchy whether a few Schleswigers who speak Danish belong to Prussia or Denmark. The boundary line between the two countries will be drawn in conformity with the interests of Prussia. We don't intend to have to conquer Duppel afresh. The portion of Seldeswig which wilt be ceded to Denmark will, at all events, be smaller than people in Copenhagen imagine. And before the cession is made an understanding is necessary with Austria with reference to certain timincial questions relating to the duchies. The completion of the North German Confederation cannot wait for the settlement of these questions." Herr SCHILArs, the member for Dresden, then made a speech, in which he asked that the relations of Luxem bourg and Limburg should be clearly defined in the draft of the constitution. Count Itisnaucit, in reply, stated that be was glad to have an opportunity to contradict the rumours and calum nies spread by some newspapers on that subject. Prussia has never threatened Holland. He said—" Before the outbreak of the war, brief negotiations took place with Holland, because we thought Luxembourg belonged to the enemies of Prussia. It was agreed between Prussia and Holland to abstain from all hostilities. We have neither demanded our laid stress upon the connexion of Limburg and Luxembourg, nor can we force the sovereign of those duchies to loin the North Ger man Confederation. Limburg expressly desires not to join it, and Luxembourg has not expressed any wish either in favour of or against doing so. We shall put no pressure upon Holland in that respect, since we might otherwise evoke an European question," Count Bismarck, at a subsequent stage of the discussion, endeavoured to remove the apprehensions that Southern Germany might enter into any understanding with foreign powers. The relations between the south and north of Germany had been enaured by treaty immediately after the conclusion of peace. (Hear, hear.) The FEDERAL COIMISSIONER for liDltiE made a speech in which he expressed regret at the division of Hesse Darmstadt by the line of the Maine. lie hoped that a means would be discovered of effecting an arrangement whereby this division of the Grand Duchy might be mitigated and all Regan enjoy the benefits of the North German Confederation. The amendment of Herr Dockuni-Dollfs, and that in reference to the Danish portion of Schleswig, were then rejected. The amendment of Herr Von Carlowitz, con cerning the limits to the right of ceding German territory, and stipulating that diplomatic representatives should only be appointed Ly the !'resident of the Laud, was also rejected by 115 against 113 votes, and Art. 1 of the draft of the constitution was agreed to by a large majority. THE RELATIONS BETWEEN ITALY AND ROME.— Wo read in the ifoni(cur :—" A private telegram an nounces that Geueral Courten, after concerting with the general in command of the Italian troopsdistributed along the Roman frontier, has just taken energetic measures for the suppression of the brigandage. It has been decided that the Italian and Pontifical forces combine!, compelled hitherto to stop upon the frontiers and abandon their pursuit of the bands, may in future penetrate into their respective territories." The Temps of yesterday says.— " A deepatch announced yesterday that an arrangement had been come to between Rome and Florence, so as to allow the Italian and Pontifical commanders to pursue, i f necessary, upon the adjoining territory the bands of brigand. who are desolating the frontiers of the two states. Advice * to-day state that the Pope's government has just taken another step in this path of reciprocal concessions. A Pontifical decree suppresses tho transit dues upon goods passing by railway over the Pontifical state, and at the Name time exempts from the stamp and other customs fonnalitieethe effects and luggage of travellers. It appears that much pleasure is felt in Florence at seeing the iron possunes thus give way, although the modification merely bears upon questions of a very secondary order." GARIBALDI AND TUE PRIESTS.—The Italie of the 14th copies from a paper published at Legman the following letter of Garibaldi :—" Owing, as a duty to my conscience, to speak to the people of the priests—the chief scourge of our country— I knew that I had to do with the priests of deceit, and I was prepared at starting for their jesuitical tricks. They have made use say that all the newspapers of Italy are sold, and they have turned all the periodical press against me. Yesterday I declared this assertion to be false. To-day I repeat it, and I beg my journalistic friends to be lees credulous in future on the subject of the calumnies, of the black sect of which I am proud to be the eneary.--O.

We have been visited by a terrific gale from the E.S.E. (states C. G. Grenfell, Esq.), and a great deal of damage has been dose to the shipping in the harbour, five vessels being filled with water. Yesterday the schooner Mary Lewis, of Aberystwith, riding in tae Bay, parted her cables and drifted at low water on the sand bank, near St. Ives pier. The Moses lifeboat, of the National Life boat Institution, was thereupon, with great thtliculty, launched to the assistance of the shipwrecked crew, whose cries for help were distinctly heard from the pier head. The rocket apparatus was also got out, and three rockets were fired, the last one reaching the vessel. How ever, as the lifeboat had been launched by this time, the crew of five men preferred coming on shore in her and were safely landed. The vessel filled with water, but with the assistance of ropes and the pier capstan she drove into the pier, where she is now lying. There being several other vessels at anchor in the bay, it was thought de suable to keep the lifeboat's crew on the quay all night in case they might be wanted, but fortunately their ser vices were not again required. PENZANCE, MONDAY NIGHT. During a hurricane from the /LAE. yesterday (reports Nicholas It. Downing, Esq.) a barque and a brig were ob served running for our pier under very perilous eircum. stances. The lifeboat Richard Lewis, or the National Lifeboat Institution, was thereupon promptly got out, and was taken down to the assistance of the brig, which had become a wreck behind the North Pier, but fortunately the mew had all been saved by climbing over the bowsprit. Two other semis were eisememet *echos seer the *mak one of them being in a vary dangerous position. The latter vessel heisting signalsof diatzess, the lifeboat was launched to her help thretigh • very heavy surf, and on reaching thee/lip put a man on board, who at once slipped her anchors, and after a most perilous sail, in which the vessel was at times buried in the sea, he brought her safely into harbour. The master said that but for the assistance thus ieudered him by the lifeboat his vessel must have been lost. She was the brig Secret, of Guernsey. The lifeboat. meanwhile was forced away to leeward, but came safely ashore through tremendous surf. She was theu taken along the shore abreast of the vessel, in case her services might be required to rescue the crew. Again, soon after unilionLt, the life boat was summoned t o th e aid of the crew of the sloop Gipsy, of Southampton, ashore near the Long Hock, but on arrivingthere found that a communication had been established by means of the rocket apparatus, and the lifeboat crew therefore assisted to haul ashore by means of that apparatus four of the shipwrecked crew, one poor fellow, however, being unfortunately washed overboard and drowned. Such was the violence of the sea that the breakwater at the pier is damaged to a very considerable extent. FOIVEY, CORNWALL, MONDAY NIGHT. A schooner at anchor in Polkerria Bay yesterday during a heavy gale of wind (says W. Li. GucL , Esq.) was observed to wake si g n a l s o f distress, upon which the lifeboat Rochdale and Catherine Rash leigh, belonging to the National Lifeboat Instiitation, stationed at Polkerris, was immediately launched, and pro. exeded to render assistance. On bonding the vessel, which was the Devouia, of Padstow, coal laden for Charlestown, it was found that the crew Lad nu Lope of her being able to hold to her cables innuch terrific weather, and as night was coining on there was no chance of get ting out of the bay or running for Par Ilarisair,so they re solved, under the circumstances to leave the schooner rather than risk their lives on a lee shore. It was impossible to do more than had been done for the safety of their craft, and the crew of five men wens then brought safely ashore in the lifeboat, the gale still blowing furiously. To-slay the wind having moderated the men returned to their vessel, which had fortunately ridden out the gale. This is the MO time the new lifeboat boa been out on active service, and she behaved most nobly in the rough sea, and to the entire 'malefaction of her gallant crew. TILEDDLETLIORPE, LINCOLNSHIRE, MOHDAT NIGHT. The lifeboat Belinda and Barbara, which belongs to the National Lifeboat Institution, went out early this morning (states the Rev. L. D. Kennedy), and at last somas:MAl in reaching a large vessel wrecked mar Saltfleet and in rescuing the crew of about 17 nieu, who were safely taken into &silliest Haven. The wind was b o isterous and the sea very rough, the weather being also bitterly cold. The Donna Nook lifeboat, which is rho in connec tion with the National Lifeboat institution, was also Lunched to the assistance of the vessel, but being to the north she could nut make way against the wind and tide. It is reported that she is still out at sea. The North Briton lifeboat, stationed at Donna Nook, was the means • few days ago of saving the crew of four men from the schooner Squire, of e ,uth. bound to Grimsby, with a cargo of barley (!eports Ileuly l'ye, Esq.). The schooner having struck the ground, heeled over, and began to break up at once. The crew took to their small boat, awl the lifeboat arrived just in time to save the pour nom from an inevi table death. They afterwards express,' their gratitude for their deliverance from, as they said a certain death, as their boat could not have lived much loop, in such • fearful sea, she having, during the short tiwe they were in her, half /Wed with water. THE LORD CHANCELLOR AND TIM CORPORATION nr WotrAnn.uirroN.—At an adjourned inciting of the IVolverhanipton town council, held ye-t,rday atti•rnoon letters were re-al from the borough members, who had been iL communication with the Lord than,ellor, and also a commuuicatiou from Ids luribliip's seeeetaiy, the purport of which was that, without a emation being put in parlianieut to the Home Secietily, Lord Chelmsford hail resolved to add Mr. Ford's more to the eiaidnission of the peace for the borough, notwitlistandin,; his previous refusal either to appoint, or to give any reason for his non appointment. rue 3IETROPOLITAN DISTREas FUND. Yesterday the committee met at the klansiembouse, the Lord Mayor in the chair. A deputation from the East . Loudon General Belief Con:edit...o again attended, and urged their further claim for ii,sistance arising from the continued inclement state of the weather, and the continuance of extreme coos of excep tional distress prevalent in the distiicts of l'opLr, Lime house, and the neighbouring localities, owing to the stagnation in the ship-building trade, and from other peculiar emits. The oolundttee answered the appeal by making a further grant of suo/. to the deputation to meet the existing current demands upon them. The emninittos (which it will be remembered had been specially convened fur the purpose) then proceeded to consider whether, looking at the exhausted state of the funds, they should dually close their labours, or whether, ri gird being had to the inclemency of the season, end also to the prevalence of exceptional distress, they .In uld con tinue to act, and make a further a pp,oll to the public for additional pecuniary maxi/it:oat, to carry out the work of philanthropy and benevolence. .Ifter a discussion, in which almost every member present took put, it was inAinimuuely resolved that the committee should continue in existence, and that the public should be utged to ienew their previous contributions.
