The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society. and other means, since its formation, is 12,690; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 713 Silver Medals, and .16,000 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £64,300 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-can loges, and Boat-houses. The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts now being made by this Institution to save the lives of Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions the Society has made within the past few years, it has now ' One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man agement, tor the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

The report stated that the whole of the first issue of shares was taken up immediately on the publi cation of the company. The unemployed capital had been profitably applied, and the securities ill which it was invested were now worth considerably more than their otigival cost. A further bum had also been received for interest. Managers of inauy years' experience iu the carrying business had becu despatched to Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta in March last. The reports of those managers con firmed in every way the anticipations upon which the company was formed. The Government autho rities in India had promised every aid and assitt ance, and the railway authorities, without excep tion, had shown the utmost desire to aid in promot ing the establishment of the company. Contracts, mutually favourable to the interests of the respec tive companies, had been made with the Madras and East Indian Railways, which would tend to secure this company from injurious competition. By advices received from the manager in Calcutta the Board were informed that on the opening of the East Indian Railway through to Allahabad the • Government Commissariat Department would transfer to this company their carrying business upon that line. In furtherance of their operations, the Board had rented the Kalai-bridge a n d Beypoor ferry, in the Madras Presidency and in connexicn with the Madras Railway. The receipts from this source commenced on the Ist of July, and in addition to tne advantages which the possession of the ferry had secured, the step was likely t o prove a very pro fit a bl e one . General business in the Madras Presidency commenced on Aug. 18, between four stations on the main line of the railway and the large towns adjoining. Busi ness in Calcutta would be commenced in October, and the company would be fully prepared for the opening of the Eastern Bengal and Calcutta and South-Eastern Railways, which was to take place at the beginning of November. The capital account to June 30 showed that £25,220 had been received and £2,394 expended, leaving a balance of £22,826 in cash and securities.

She brought 15 passengers £3,127 in specie, 10 packages of mails, 430 bags of coffee, four chests of oranges, 36 boxes of lemons, 430 packages of figs, 252 bags of almonds, 135 cases of eggs, 110 casks of wine, 57 casks of palm oil, 38 live bullocks, and 290 packages of general merchandise. On the coast of Portugal strong north winds and fogs were ex perienced; across the Bay of Biscay and up Chan nel a very heavy gale, veering from S.W. to N.W., with a tremendous cross sea running. On the 20th, at 9 a.m., the Tartar exchanged signals with the screw steamer Mangerton, hove too, Ushant bearing N.E, by E. 110 miles. On the 21st, at 6 a.m., off the Start, the Tartar passed the Tamar steamer, and at 11 a.m., of St. Albans, the Tagus steamer, both outward bound. Lisbon advices by this arrival are to the 17th inst. The illuminations and other demonstrations of enthusiastic satisfaction with their youthful Queen Maria Pia were repeated by the inhabitants of Lisbon upon her Majesty's birthday on the 16th. The Italian squadron had a sham fight and were beautifully illuminated in the evening, after which the King, Queen, and Prince Umberto of Savoy at tended the opera, where they were received with undiminished was, as also during their transit through the streets. The arrival of the British squadron, commanded by Admiral Dacres, and of the ambassador, Sir Arthur Magenis, although two days after the mar , - riage, and only just in time for the levee of the Bth, had removed much of the disagreeable impression an imputed remiss had created in Lisbon ; but no explanation had been given of the circumstance which had caused the vessels to be despatched from England with orders to be at Lisbon by the Bth, when it had been previously known the King of Portugal's marriage was to take place on the 6th. The King visited the squadron while in the Ta gus, and left it again on the 14th—two days before the Queen's birthday. The detachment of telegraphists and surveyors selected from the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, to proceed to New Zealand, for the pur pose o f being employed in laying down the electric telegraph and other engineering Operations in that colony, will take their departure from headquarters, Brompton, this morning. The Royal Engineers take out with them a varied and complete set of in struments for use in the work on which they will be employed. The men composing the detachment will be absent from England several years. The order for the removal of the 26th company from Chatham to Aldershott Camp has been coun termanded. Capt. F. W. Thomas and First Lieut. F. F. Evans, with the Royal Marines who have volunteered for service at the island of Bermuda, proceeded on Monday from Chatham to Portsmouth to embark in the Galatea, 28, 800-horse power. The 2d battalion, 20th Regiment, under the cow man of Col. Radcliffe, underwent his autumnal inspection, on the parade ground in Anglesey barracks, at Portsmouth, yesterday, Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulett, C. 8., being the inspecting officer. The exchanges this packet at three months were —London, 531 to ; Paris, 530 to 528 ; Hamburg, 48 ; Amsterdam, 42.50 ; Genoa, 526 ; Three per Cent. Stock, 462 to 46i; Bank of Portugal shares, 550 to 552; Oporto Bank shares, 256 to 258. The foreign vessels of war in port when the Tartar left the Tagus were the Italian steam frigates Maria Adelaide, Duca di Genova, and Garibaldi, and the Italian corvette Italia.

(From the Quarterly Review,"October).—" We think it will be seen, on the whole, that this work has something more than the beauties of an exquisite style, or the word compelling power of a literary Zeus, to recommend it to the tender care of a distant posterity ; that in dealing with all the emotions, passions, doubts, fears, which go to make up our common humanity, M. Victor Hugo has stamped upon every page the hall mark of genius and the loving patience and conscie , tious labour of a true artist.

A letter little from confidence Mexico, dated Sept. 13, says have thepresent courier arriv ing in time for the French packet I s h a ll d o no more than send you a short account of wh a t has taken place since the date of my last. Juarez and his party have sustained a severe loss in the death of Zaragoza; he was seized with typhus, which is raging to a frightful extent in the Mexi can camp, and expired on Saturday last. Zaragoza had acquired a high reputation by repulsing the French in their attack on the " Cerro de Guade loupe" on the sth of May, and possessed the confidence of Lis troops to a greater extent than any other Mexi can General. The opinion of his country men is summed up in the following lines, printed in large letters, and posted at the corners of all the streets:— " He died unconquered, and in the page of history neither God nor man can tarnish his glory." What ever may have been his qualifications as a general, he was undoubtedly a man of energy and courage, and what is more to his credit, I cannot learn that his con duct has ever been tainted by deeds of cruelty. Gonzals Ortega has succeeded to his command, but whether he will be retained in that position seems more than doubtful. Some say that Comonfort has been applied to, others that Uraga has been sent for. The former is not like to accept of any com mand under Juarez, having already allied himself with Fidauri and Doblado ; and the latter, although a military man of some repute, cannot be expected to do much against the veterans of France with a force of 8,000 or 9,000 men, badly paid, worse fed, and composed almost entirely of raw recruits. In spite of all these disadvantages, Juarez seems bent upon resistance. Puebla has been strongly forti fied, and upwards of 2,000 men are daily employed upon the earthworks around this city. To man these earthworks, extending as they do over a circuit of some ten or twelve miles, would require at least 30,000 men, and as the Government scarcely possesses as many hundreds, it is difficult to see what good can result from this useless expen diture of money and labour. Much dissatisfaction has been created of late by the different proprie tors of estates being obliged to send all their labourers to work at these fortifications, supply ing them with tools and paying them at the rate of Is. 6d. per day. Many of the papers suggest that foreigners should be made to work, and it may come to this at last. It is still confidently asserted that upon the approaCh of the French the upper lake will be let out and the city laid under water. An order of the President was published a few days back directing all the priests to lay aside their distinctive dresses, and appear in ordinary costume. As most of these men, since the confisca tion of their property, have no means of providing themselves with lay habiliments, the order is con sidered as oppressive and unjust. I informed you, in one of my previous communications, that the Go• yernment bad determined upon nationalising, or, in other words, appropriating all the property be longing to schools, hospitals, and other charities. Some of these establishments have already been disposed of, much to the scandal of the inhabi tants, and only a few days back the Collegio de las Nines, a very large establishment for the edu cation of young women, was ordered to be sold. Nothing can warrant such an act of spoliation, and it is only surprising that the people tamely submit to it. Almost all the charitable institutions with which this capital abounded were founded by Spa niards, and were mostly of a private nature; the act, therefore, is the more arbitrary and the less jus tifiable ; in fact, it can be viewed in no other light than an attack upon a species of property which has always been held sacred in every other part of the world. I have just been furnished with the following ac count of the murder of M. Collenot at his hacienda, about a league from Cordova, by a party of Carava jal's men. M. Collenot was formerly manager of some ironworks in the neighbourhood of this city, and was nephew of M. Legrand, the gentle man in whose house Capt. Aldham was so hospita bly received and so kindly attended to. "On the 12th of August some 50 or 60 soldiers entered the courtyard of the hacienda. Mr. Col lenot had not time to ask them what they wanted, when one of the men, without the least provoca tion, shot him through the chest. Mortally wounded, and having only a few minutes to live, he had strength enough to rush to the apartment of his wife, with the hope of saving her. She fortu natelyescaped into the woods, notwithstanding that the miscreants fired several shots at her. C o ll eno t, seeing the wife safe , took his gun down, had just ng when on shedead.ofHisenough washorribly found that her husband had been thus bar barously murdered may be imagined but cannot be described." settrtbodyr to fire wife The case has been brought to the knowledge of Baron Wagner, but it is not likely that any repara tion will be obtained, or that the Government will even dare to reprimand the ofh 'cer who sanctioned and witnessed this barbarity. Some 3,000 French troops landed at Vera Cruz the latter end of last month, and to-day it is confi dently asserted that General Forey, with 4,000 more, arrived off that port on the 7th or Bth. The LEEDS, Oct. 21.—The weather was not very fa vourable for business in the cloth halls this morning, and the attendance was rather small. Sales to a moderate extent of seasonable fabrics were effected; but as the great bulk of the trade for winter goods, so far as the manufacturers are concerned, is now over, and it is too early for much being done for the spring trade, the markets have worn a quiet aspect. In the warehouses, too, there is not much activity, though the business doing is considered of a satis factory character. The same amount of employment which we have lately had to report as prevailing throughout the woollen district of the West Riding continues, and while there is not much short time working, there is overtime working in some parts, those of heavy and cheap fabrics, orders of which for America are making up. The local wool trade is not very brisk, but prices rule firm. NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE, Oct. 20.—The two staple trades of the district are in a buoyant condition. Soma extensive orders have lately been received for rails, and prices are becoming more and more firm. Merchant bars are also in good request, as well as sheets and other descriptions of iron. Rails command at the works £5 17s. 6d. to £6, and merchant bars £5 12s. 6d. to £sl7s, 6d. The coal trade is brisk, as is usual at this time of the year, and preparations are being made by several of the local colliery proprietors for increasing their supply. The Abercarn Colliery will shortly commence working, and employment will thus be given to 300 or 400 additional men. The following are the ave rage quotations for coals, free on board. Steam, 7s. 3d. to Bs. ; house, 88. to 9s. The tin works of the district show increased inactivity, and there is some hope of a revival in this branch of business. The advance in the raw material proves that smelters are sanguine as regards future prospects, and !tinplates having in consequence been selling at from 6d. to ls. per box higher than previous quotations. ROCHDALE, Oct. 20.--Owing to the unfavourable character of the weather there was not quite so large an attendance of buyers to-day as last Mon day. All things considered, a fair amount of busi ness was done in flannels, especially in the finer qualities and in fancies. As there has for some time been a good demand, stocks in the hands of manu facturers are not large. Indeed, although the manu facturers keep well employed they take care not to accumulate much stock. There is a good sale for Yorkshire goods, and the prices of them, as well as those of flannels, keep firm. The same may be said, too, as respects those of wool. The French steam sloop Rhin, from Rochfort, ar rived on the 16th inst. with the Japanese Ambassa dors, for whom the Portuguese Government had provided apartments at the Braganza Hotel. Princess Clotilde and her husband, Prince Jerome Napoleon, were hourly expected at Lisbon when the Tartar left. Her Majesty's ship Flying Fish arrived at Lis bon on the 16th, from the Island of Ascension, to coal. The Brazilian war steamsloop Imperial Marin heiro left Lisbon on the 13th. The Royal Mail steamer Oneida, from South ampton on the 9th, arrived at Lisbon on the 13th, and left on the same day for St. Vincent and the Brazils. The steamship Catalonian, from Liverpool, arrived on the 15th, and the Russian steamer Vests on the same day from Odessa. BRITISH COLUMBIA. (From the Weekly Colonist, Aug. 26.) The following extract frrom a report received thin day from the Assistant Gold Commissioner of the Cariboo district is herewith published for gene ral information. WILLIAM A. G. YOUNG. Colonial Secretary's-office, Aug. 20. " MR. ELWYN TO TILE COLONIAL SECRETARY. " Williams' Creek, July 13. _ "At the time of my visit to Lightning there were nearly 1,000 men on that creek and its tributaries, some engaged in opening out their claims, the majority prospecting. Lightning is considered a difficult creek to work, its waters being affected by every shower of rain ; a rise of two feet during an afternoon is by no means an uncommon oc currence. d‘ In spite of this disadvantage, the creek, I am convinced, will be most extensively worked. At the time of my visit the claim owners had not commenced to take out gold, and I am, therefore, unable to report with certainty as to the richness of the claims. I have no hesitation, however, in stating as my firm belief that Lightning will be found second only in importance to the creek from which I write. At the junction of Van Winkle with Lightning Creek a town has already sprung up, and, unless I am greatly mis taken, will become the depot for the whole of the present mining district. " The rich lead on this (Williams') creek, hitherto only found in Steel and Co.'s and a few other claims near the town, has at last been 'struck' at a point on the right bank of the creek, about a mile above where the lead was lost. In addition to this the lead has also been found at two points between and in a straight line with the places above men tioned, showing almost conclusively that the lead runs the entire distance, and most probably beyond,as far as the Bald Mountain, from which the creek takes its rise, a distance of about three miles and a half. " The importanee of this discovery can hardly be over estimated. I believe most firmly that in a month's time gold will bo taken out of this creek to the value of at least £20,000 per diem. Such is the confidence men now have in Williams' Creek lead that claims in a line with those lately discovered are selling as high as £BOO, though unprospected. "On Antler Creek the claims aro being rapidly opened and worked with great success. " A great many new creeks, most of them supposed to be rich, have been discovered since the date of my last report. "I would submit that, as a gold-field, the prospects of the country could hardly be better. Many old miners have stated to me as their belief that British Columbia will sur pass both Australia and California. On the other hand I regret to report that the great scar city, and consequent high price of provisions,is, for the pre sent, not only crippling every man in the mines, but forcing very many to return. I fear that few will be able to pass the winter in Cariboo this winter for want of provisions. The present rate of supply by no means equals the demand, and I am at a loss to conceive how any surplus stock can be laid in for winter use. By far the majority of the claims on this creek are in the bank, and, could provisions by any means be brought up, claims would be worked (tunnel) all the year round, and many men unsuccessful during the summer could then get employment during the winter months. " There is a report up here that merchants do not wish to send up supplies because as yet no money has been taken out to pay for them. I can hardly believe that an idea so absurd can have had any weight either with the British Columbia or Victoria merchants. Not one sack of flour has been sold in the district this season without cash payment. " I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient s ervant, , " T. ELWYN.' THE RECTORSHIP OF GLASGOW UNIVERSITY. — The Morning Journal of Thursday says that the Liberal party of the University of Glasgow propose to nominate Lord Palmerston to the office of Lord Rector at the forth coming election in that university. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.--On. Sunday morning as the 10 o'clock fast train oa the North Kent line was nearing Erith station on the wayto Stroud the engine driver saw a boy, of abou t 12 or Im3 years of age, being pur sued by a bull from the adjoining ar shes. The boy got on the line, calculating that the animal would not venture on the metals. He judged wrongly, however, for the animal dashed over the fence, and had just reached the down metals, when the n oise of the whistle caused it to hesitate ;or a moment and incline its head towards the en g ine, at the instant it was struck on the right shouler by and n ear buffer, and the guard - iron in front, having entered the the body, tore it u p in such a manner that death must have been instan taneous. The en g ine p assed o n uninjured, and the boy had been fortunately delivered from 1118 danger. SUCCESS. (From Les Ifiserables.) Success, we may say in passing, is a hideous affair enough. Men aro taken in by its spurious resemblance to merit. In the eyes of the multitude, to get on has much the same profile as to be absolutely the best. Success, that Menechmus of talent, has one dupe : history. Juvenal and Tacitus are the only ones who kick at it. In the present day it keeps at its beck a kind of official philosophy, which wears the livery of success and dances attendance in its ante-chamber. Get on : and what follows ? To be in clover is to be clever. You win at a lottery, and you are set down as an able man. It is the winner who is worshipped• Be born with a silver spoon, and your fortune's made.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was found that the establishment of the Indian Carrying Company was indispensable for developing the full advantages of the rail way system, and, judging from European analogy and experience, there was every reason to expect that it would realise as great pecuniary benefits as its prototype in this country. It was the Pickford's of the East, and already promised to take its place at an early period among the most useful institu tions of the country. The directors had been for tunate in their selection of the managers, who ha& shown themselves fully deserving the confidence re posed in them. Waggons of various descriptions suited to the several localities had been built and despatched to India, with ironwork for con structing others of the wood of the country. The company's managers had received the cor dial assistance of the merchants, of the Government officers, and of the agents and engineers of the rail way companies, and had enlisted the good will of those engaged in limited local carrying operations by intimating their readiness to co-operate with or to employ them. The directors had exercised the utmost economy consistent with effectually accom plishing the object in view, and the funds Which they had invested exclusively in Government secu rities were now worth upwards of £l,OOO more than when invested, besides having yielded nearly £5OO for interest. (Hear, hear.) Carrying stock was constructed and shipped sufficient to commence work in each Presidency at the cost of a few thousand pounds, leaving invested a sufficient sum to increase the supply of cattle and waggons as required by the increasing demands of the traffic, and to render it unnecessary at present, and pro bably for some time to come, either to issue a further portion of capital or to call up any more upon the shares already issued. Mr. J. WALKER seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. After a few observations from Mr. G. SMITH and other shareholders the report was unanimously adopted ; the retiring directors, Sir M. Stephenson, Mr. S. G. Frith, Mr. Norton, Mr. P. D. Hadow, Mr. Hartridge, Mr. J. F. Leith, Mr. G. Norton, Mr .J. Stewart, Mr. J. Walker, and Mr. A. Wilson were re-elected ; Mr. J. E. Coleman and another share holder were elected auditors of the company, and they were to receive 25 guineas each per annum for their services. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOVRAILWAY.—Another death resulting from this accident is reported, making the total number of deaths 18. Mr. Isaac Marr, fruiterer, Falkirk, who was on Sunday night so dangerously ill, in the infirmary, that it was not expected he would survive the night, breathed his last at 5 o'clock on Monday morning. Harvey, the Scots Grey, and M'Donald and Allison, still continue in a dangerous state'; but all the others are progressing favourably. By the latest accounts from Linlithgow, we learn that Mr. Shaw, of Fal kirk, Mr. Brown, East Fortune, and Miss Isabella Wood, Leith, are still very dangerously in. —Scotsman. The Chief Constable of Cheshire reports that the distress in the manufacturing districts of the county is on the increase, and many of the evil-disposed avail the m .. selves of the opportunity and circumstances thus produced to impose on the charitable, or commit depredations, al though the hard-working operatives themselves continue to hold their high character free from crime, and to bear their sufferings with a firm and peaceful resignation. SINGULUR COINCIDENCES.--A series of singular coincidences in connection w ith the demise of no less than three of the Presidents excited extraordinary interest at the time of the occurrence, and are still referred to as among the most remarkable of their class. On the 4th of July, 1826, being the fiftieth anniversary of the birthday of the nation, died John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the imme diate successors of Washington in the executive office. They were both originally lawyers, both members of the Congress which declared the national independence, both on the com mittee by which the declaration itself was reported. One was actually the author of that memorable instrument, and the other one of its strongest advisers and supporters, while both signed it ; both were subsequently employed on foreign missions, both became Vice-Presidents, and both, finally, Presidents; and both having assisted so materially at the nation's birth, and watched and fostered its growth for exactly half a century, sank at almost the same moment into their final rest, and their memories received jointly the funereal honours bestowed upon them by their mourn ing country. It is doubtful if a parallel can be found any where in the pages of history. But to add to this extraor dinary record, the death of J ames Monroe, the fifth Presi dent, occurred just fi ve years later, also on the 4th of Ju l y. in the year 1831, and Alt hough he had no t b een per- Independe nce, sonally connected with the histo r y of the Declaration of yet he had afterwards been one of its firmest defenders, and owed his eminence to its existence and per petuation. Singularly enough, also, John Quincey Adams, sixth President, and Monroe's immediate successor, died on the 22d February — another annivers ar y lit t l e l ess sacred to Americans than that of the 4th of July, viz., that of the birthday of Washington. —Macmillan's Magazine.

Some of the trade circa have not consented to fi x a l ower limit for their agents k tically unreliable as a guide to buyers. The letters from India are to hand, and confirm the report we gave some weeks ago that orders had been sent out to Bombay to repurchase cloths for this market. The letters in question say that shirtings have actually been purchased there for re-shipment to England. There are still many persons who hold firmly in the belief that we shall have no permanent decline in prices; but not only do shippers find great difficulty in getting goods off their hands with a view to ac tive consumption in foreign markets, on account of the greatly enhanced prices of them, but even in this country it is said great difficulty is experienced in very moderate attempts to put up prices. Con sidering the comparative wealth of this country as compared with others, it had been thought that, among the well-to-do middle class and the highly paid (relatively) working people, an advance of shirtings from 6d. (the ordinary price) to Bd. or 9d. would not be so difficult a thing as in poorer coun tries. Practical men report differently. Where our large country houses formerly received orders to the amount of £l,OOO, they are now commonly limited to £lO or £2O, and this is said to arise from the fact that drapers find it often impossible to sell at a rate to cover the advance charged to them. We hear of one large house that has thought it advisable, under these circumstances, to invite drapers to send back their stocks with the view of holding them till the barrenness of stocks begins to tell more directly on prices. rives' ) live 10 re DO hilly &sq./ race' Lter• vial► gain w ier, t iler, the 1 . )Wl°, oclif wife igo t city, TSlt e Wie' plat iddY , c ent, %‘.
