JOZEAU'S COPARINE MEGR—Copaiba and Cubebs are doubtless the best remedies, but are of a re pulsive taste and odour, and occasion collicky pains, nausea, and gastric disturbance. M. Jozeau has succeeded in render ing them perfectly innocuous by increasing all their curative properties. It has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine after more than a thousand trials in Paris and the different London hospitals, viz., St. Thomas's, Guy's. and St. Bartholomew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legros Clark.—(Lancet, Nov. 6, 1857).

By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

AN IMPORT AN T DISCUSSION.—The "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassilig, the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention ot that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness slid disappointing the objects of matrimony, or d er _ mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its effects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S "SELF-PRESERVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Physical Debility, of which the 90t 1 - Edition has just been published by Mann and Co., 39, Cornhill, London , pric e ls ' , sent post free f or 13, or in aleealed envelope for 20 stamps' Dr. LA'MEnT, M.D., &c., having for 20 years devotee himself entirely to this branch of practice, may be consultkd daily, either personally or by correspondence, at his residatiCe, No 37, B EDFORD -SQUARE, London.

INTELLIGENCE• GO ODW OOD RACES.—THURSDA Y. The attraction of a Cup Day to the , British public:is manifested on every racecourse in the kingdom. The ad mirers of beauty combined with usefulness know that they will see it in the thoroughbred horse, and they further know that the best of those noble animals are selected to win the coveted prize. At no place to which our duty calls us are these facts better elucidated than at Goodwood. The entries are larger than for cups elsewhere, the company more select, and the fields of starters generally better. Year after year the attendance at this meeting increases, and the Grand Stand contained yesterday more visitors than have ever heretofore promenaded on its lawn. The long rows of seats beneath its tall trees were occupied by ladies, the saloon and balcony were full, the weather was al that could be wished, the racing before the Cup not of a nature to engross too much attention, and the time allowed between each event sufficient for the indulgence in specu lation by all who had a taste for it. The Wizard was firm in his position, Fairwater advanced in favour, and Zetland receded; the others remained as before until the weighing commenced, when Tim Whiffler was backed with such eagerness that he quickly became second favourite. The seven ran, as described below, at a fair pace, and the winner of the Chester Cup displayed his vast superiority by win ning literally in a cosier. The Wizard has, we hear, finished his career on the turf, as he was very lame when he pulled up. One of the most beautiful contests ever witnessed took place between two 2-yr-olds in the Molecomb Stakes, each ridden by a first-rate jockey. The assembled visitors shortly afterwards began to disperse, and the glories of the Cup Day at Goodwood ceased before six o'clock.

On reaching " the dip" the Splitvote colt burst a bloodvessel, and J. Goater immediately stopped him, and his place was taken by the favourite. At the dis tance the Jemima filly, Lady Superior, and Declaration gave way to Prince Lee 800, who for a few strides appeared in front, but was then passed by Aracan and Old Orange Girl, the latter waiting to the stand and winning in a can ter by three lengths, Aracan beating Prince Lee 800 by a head for second ; Lady Superior was fourth, close up ; De claration next.

After the usual preliminary business of cantering and parading in front of the stand and its enclosure, Mr. M'George speedily got them in order, and despatched them from the post, Tim Whiffler immediately rushed to the front, followed by Zetland, Audrey, Fairwater, and Umpire, Feu de Joie and the favourite being the two last. But on fairly settling into their places Audrey rushed to the front and made the running at a strong pace, Tim Whiffler going on second, Zetland third, and Umpire fourth; then came Fairwater, with the other two still lying away, in which order they proceeded to the Craven Course turn, when Lord W. Powlett's colt joined Audrey, the pair run ning together two or throe lengths in advance of Zetland, who appeared so far in front of Umpire and Fairwater, the latter pair running close together. But on reaching the woodsido Audrey suddenly gave way, leaving Tim Whiffler with the command, who was shortly after joined by Zetland, the pair coming on together with a clear lead of three lengths of Umpire. The latter, however, was beaten half way up the hill, and Fairwater, with the favou rite in attendance, became their immediate follower, no thing else appearing to possess a chance. On rounding the turn into the straight, Bullock slightly increased his lead, which he improved as he proceeded, and leaving Zetland in difficulties at the distance, he eased Tim, and cantered home the winner by a dozen lengths. The Wizard, who passed Fairwater half a distance from home, finished a wretched third ; Feu de Joie and Fairwater, both pulling up, were the next two ; Audrey and Umpire being the two last, beaten off a long way.

Yesterday the hop planters of Kent and Sussex, to the number of upwards of 400, assembled in the grounds attached to the residence of Lord Harry Vane, Battle Abbey, for the purpose of celebrating the recent repeal of the Excise duty on hops. The occasion afforded quite a holyday to the folks of Battle, and the streets were gaily decorated with flags and evergreens. A large pavilion was erected on the lawn in front of the Abbey, and in this, at 3 o'clock, between 400 and 500 persons sat down to dinner. The chair was occupied by Lord Harry Vane, M.P., and among those by whom he was sup ported were Sir W. Brook Bridges, M.P., Mr. J. G. Dodson, M.P., Mr. E. C. Egerton, M.P., Mr. P, 0. Papillon, M.P., the Dean of Battle, Mr. T. Brassey, Mr. 0. H. Frewen, Mr. R. C. Pomfret, &c. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, Mr. E. C. EGERTON, M.P., proposed " The health of the Chairman." He said they had met for the celebration of a great victory in the repeal of a tax which they who lived in the counties of Kent and Sussex believed to be a most objectionable tax, and he was sure they would agree with him in saying that they could have no better president than their noble chairman, who, during the long period he had attended in Parliament, had always voted in favour of free trade, and who now at the close of 23 years of public life was enabled to see the last stone put to the edifice of free trade. He came from the notthern counties, which, although having no direct interest in hops, had felt the injustice that had been done to the hopgrowers by the continuance of a re striction that had been fCmoved from other branches of trade. He had great pleasure in proposing the heclth of their noble chairman as an honest and con sistent politician, who for many years had been an advocate of free trade, not only in corn but in hops also. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in responding, said the meeting of that day was held for the purpose of celebrating a great moral victory, which he held this to . be, inasmuch as the impost from which they were now relieved was a most unjust and most partial one. Its incidence fell sorely upon a certain class ; it was not shared in by the generality of the community and therefore it was unjust. (Cheers_) He knew it had been held, by political economists especially, that none of its incidence fell upon the hop growers, but that the consumers in the long run paid the tax. This might be true in some respects, but it was not so in its entirety. Those who were practical hopgrowers and had been engaged for many hops, tepfesil heavily on them knew what the in years when they had a large abundance of hops o y p e e a r r a s t i i n on th of e t c h u a l t ti d v u a t t y ion wa o s f . of inferior quality. The tax-collector was inexo rable—he had to be paid whether the growers re ceived their money or not. The growers were forced by the circumstances of the case and the nature of the market to hold their hops for a con siderable period, and the money they had to pay never came back into their pocket. Therefore, he said, it was an unjust tax, and that inasmuch as it was an unjust tax it was an immoral tax, and he was happy now to congratulate the hopgrowers on having got rid of an impost so heavy in its nature and so unjust in its character. (Cheers.) They had met for the purpose of congratulating them selves on the repeal of that tax, and also to pro nounce a funeral panegyric on the Hop Excise Duty Repeal Association. They were indebted to that society for the part it had taken in this ques tion for so many years. It had taken its rise in this county under the auspices of his f r i en d the secretary, Mr. Bacon, who took a most prominent port in this agitation and who refused from the first all compromise. The prospects of the society were gloomy fora short time. Mr. Gladstone then somewhat altered the nature of the duty. Mr. Gladstone proposed a certain repeal that was insig nificant in amount, and he proposed the introduc tion of foreign hops on an equality with English hops. This threw into the ranks of those who were trying to obtain the repeal of the duty the great hop proprietors of Kent, to whom, with Mr. Beresford Hope, they were in a great measure in debted for the result that had been attained. His friend Mr. Dodson had taken an early and distin guished part in the movement for the repeal. Mr. Dodson was joined by others, and the result was the hopgrowers had been successful, and were now met for the purpose of celebrating their triumph. (Cheers.) The hop duty had been at length sur rendered, and those who chose to grow hops might now grow them without fear of the tax-collector. (Cheers.) Whether it would be advantageous to do so was another question. He did not recom mend those to grow hops who had not grown them before, nor would he hold out prospects that might not be realised. Hopgrowing was freed from the incubus that had attached to it; but the crop was a very precarious one, and it was for the hopgrowers to say how far it would be advantage ous to continue the cultivation. But at any rate they could continue it without fear of the tax col lector, and if there came a bad year, without the necessity of raising by borrowing in order to satisfy the Government demands. (Cheers.) Mr. DODSON, M.P., in proposing " The health of Mr. Body, the Vice-Chairman,,, remarked that the Hop Excise Duty Repeal Association, of which that gentleman had been chairman, had been of great service. He was afraid that its history was not one that could be thought sufficiently exciting or ro mantic to adorn a tale, but it might serve to point a moral, and the moral was how difficulties that seemed insuperable might be overcome by the firm ness and determination of hard working and hard headed men. (Cheers.) Mr. BODY returned thanks. ament. J. isc th ou en nt Pevensey and Mr* .1.• S•btehres proposed S, r T e h p e ea lk l le on: for M E r a . a ß t . s P u O s ki s e F x l7; out f P l"l Mr. DODSON apologised for the absence of his colleague, Lerd Pevensey, and remarked that at length, in 1862, the hop duty was repealed. It had been the lot of Mr. Gladstone to take off at Mr. Harley had imposed in 1711 ax which , and now, first time for 150 years, the hopgrower for the might enter his garden and walk about his farm without having his footsteps dogged by the exciseman, or he might shut the door of his oasthouse in the face of any myrmidons of the Government who might feel in clined to pry into his business. (Cheers.) He did not know that it was possible to say what changes might arise from an industry being set free that had been so long held in legislative trammels. He took it, however, as quite certain that the hopgrower would in future be free from the heavy losses which the duty inflicted on him in years of large crops and small prices. Hopgrowing had now become a simple farming operation, left to natural causes. It might be that, owing . to the costly nature of the prduction and the precarious nature of the crop, it would always remain a somewhat more speculative branch of business than any other branch of farming. The hopgrower might continue to be in a certain sense perhaps a gambler ; but, at all events, he would be playing a game of which he had a free opportunity of measur ing the chances; he would also have the Chancellor of the Exchequer standing over him, and saying at every opportunity, ~ I double your stakes." And there was this peculiarity about the Chancellor of the Exchequer doubling the stakes, that he doubled them if the hopgrower lost, but he never doubled them if the hopgrower won. (Cheers and laughter.) So far as the public at large were concerned, he thought the supply of hops would be more abun dant, a b ov e all, more steady and dant, uniform from year to yea r• • Th e consequence wo u ld b e t h at th e beer we drank would be healthier and better. Owen Burton, i n his "Anat om y of Melancholy," said , " Beer made without hops is productive of heavi ness ; and that well h ness and hopped beer is an antidote to it." If this were so, Mr. Gladstone would, by the repeal of the hop duty, have contri buted something to make England that which it was generally called—merry England. (Cheers.) He was quite sure Mr. Gladstone had done so as far as the hopgrowers were concerned. He had attended many meetings of hopgrowers, but this was the first he had attended that was not a scene of woe and lamentation. (Laughter.) He might say that this was the first time he had seen a hop grower at a hopgrowers' meeting with a smile on his face. (Laughter.) When he looked round the meeting, he saw many familiar faces he had been used to meet at hopgrowers' meetings, but really they were so changed that were it not for his inti mate acquaintance with them, he should not have been able to recognise them. (Renewed laughter.) As it was, he was glad to see the change that had come over them, and he begged most heartily to congratulate them on that change. Mr. T. BRASSEY proposed the health of those members of the House of Commons who had sup ported the repeal of the hop duty, and Mr. P. PAPILLON responded. Some other toasts were given, and the proceed ings terminated. THE ORLEANS PRINCES Al THE BATTLE BEFORE RICHMOND. The following extracts from letters addressed by the Prince de Joinville to his brother Due d'Aumale, have been published : Lincoln, June 27. . . . The day before yesterday it was suddenly announced that Jackson was marching upon the Potomac at the head of a considerable force, in order to act upon our rear, to break up the railway and r s v r o a y l a o t u n r i m e h a m g a o z n i d e o e s f . B e N u ' r e e g h s e r a d r d, b withe s a i d p e s s r t o o f f the his ar de forces. All that greatly complicates our situation. Not being able to detach troops to meet Jackson and defend White House as well our line of com munication, the general has deeided upon aban doning it completely ; he has therefore ordered all his troops to cross to the right bank of the Chickahominy, and to take, up a new basis of ope rations upon James River under the protection of the gunboats. The enemy commenced his move ment last evening. He crossed to the left bank of the above-mentioned river at Mildon-bridge, in order to attack M'Call's division at Meunitville. The attack was made by General Lee, at the head of Witt's division. Some Louisiana regiments at tempted to pass by main force, but were repulsed. A fight took place there, which ) however, was not followed by any important result. That same night we conveyed our baggage over to the right bank of the Chickahominy. At this moment the enemy is attacking the troops which have remained on the left bank in order to cover the bridges. Savage Station, June 28, Fort Monroe, July 1. Yesterday will ever remain deeply engraven on my memory ; in the first place, on account of the soul-stirring scenes I witnessed; and in the next, by reason of the dangers which our two nephews es2aped as by a miracle. For four hours Paris (the Count of Paris) and for two hours Robert (the Duke of Chartres) were incessantly under a most violent fire of musketry and artillery. Their con duct was as might have been expected, excellent. They have been exceedingly active and useful, and at the critical moment evinced a firmness which has excited universal admiration and gained them pub lic thanks. But to return to my narrative. 'We knew that the forces under the command of General Porter, situated on the left bank of the Chickahominy, were being attacked from an early hour in the morning. The action commenced about one o'clock. Paris was immediately despatched, and remained under the orders of Porter. The affair becoming more and more warm, the balloon announc ing that strong reinforcements had been sent from Richmond, and everything being comparatively tranquil upon the right bank, the general gave orders for five brigades to join Porter. Robert was sent at that moment to the front, and our two ne • phews thus finding themselves both in the " trough" (petrin), I also went to the front, in order to see what would become of them. I galloped over the bridge on the Chickahominy, and mounting the opposite hills found our troops in an undulating country, composed of vast fields and woods, upon a line of battle measuring about a mile and a half. I then passed a battery very warmly employed, and rejoined our nephews, who were in the first line with General Porter. Neither they nor he appeared to perceive that balls rained thick and fast around them. After a moment's con versation, orders to be transmitted sent our nephews in all directions. We separated, and I took up a position on a hill in the rear, whence I had a pretty general view of the field of battle, and from which I could distinguish our n ephews, especially Paris, who wore a peculiar kind of hat. I was admiring the grandeur of the scene spread out before me —we had about 35,000 men engaged ; a numerous artillery, the reserve of cavalry, the lancers with their floating pennons—all in the midst of a most picturesque country and the whole illuminated by the blood-red rays of the setting sun—when all of a sudden, at the place where Porter was, the fusillade be came intensely hot. The reserves are excited by hurrahs, and sent by degrees into the woods. The fusillade becomes more and more fierce, and extends to our left. There is no longer any doubt that the enemy is making a last effort on that side. Our reserve is engaged, and we no longer have anybody under our hand. The sun is rapidly sinking. If we are able to hold out another hour we shall have gained the day, for everywhere else we have re pulsed the enemy, and the efforts of Jackson, Lee, Witt, and Longstreet, whose troops are before us, are vain. But our men are harassed with fatigue ; they have been fighting since the morning, and have scarcely any ammunition left. The enemy brings forward reserves which he has been collect ing since twelve o'clock. Those fresh troops rush in good order upon our left, which falters, flies, and passing through the artillery draws on in disorder the troops of our centre. The enemy advances rapidly. The staff, our nephews at its head, draw their swords and throw themselves into the melee to arrest the fugitives. The standards are planted in the ground, and around them the bravest make a stand by rallying themselves in little groups. The fusillade and cannonade are so violent that the pro jectiles striking the ground raise a permanent cloud , of dust. At that moment General Cook charged at the head of his cavalry, but that move does not succeed, and his horsemen, on their return, only in crease the disorder. He makes every effort, aided by all who felt a little courage, to stop the panic, but in vain. I joined a few officers who attempted to check the artillery, and we succeeded by absolutely barring the way and seizing the horses by the bridles. By that means we were enabled to put two or three pieces in position on the slope of a hill, and with them we harassed t he enemy by the last rays of day. At that conjuncture 11leagher's Irish Brigade arrived, which, uttering a few savage cries, ranged itself in order of battle, and the enemy was checked. At that moment also I was joined by our nephews, who, each on his side, and acting on his sole inspi ration, like men of co ura g e and intelligence, had done all they could to stay the confusion, and, G od be praised, without accident. We warmly s h oo k hands. Each had had his adventures. Robert, sent to carry an order, and returning at dusk, Was fortunate enough to escape being taken by a regi ment of the enemy, which he mistook for On e f ours. He was only undeceived by that regiment firing on him. Paris directed up to the last moment the fire of a German battery. Our loss is considerable. Sykes' brigade has lost one half of its men. Bat the enemy must be sadly cut up, From twelve to six all their efforts have miscarried, and the only advantage they have gained Ber "e from a deplorable poi° lmefitkeupof ground, with the w ea h n i n c o h n m a a n d d e u w s o l u o n se de h d al w f e a fresh brigade had arrived in time all would have been changed into a brilliant success ; but such is the fortune of war. I only rejoice at one thing, which is, that we have delayed a forced departure in order not to abandon the army in its critical situation, and also that our nephews should have borne themselves in the brilliant manner they have done. After the battle of the 27th the concentration of the Confederate forces bad become inevitable ; it was necessary to retreat. It was decided to cross W hits beck Swamps, behind which a halt was to be mace in order to give time for the baggage to post on to James River, where a new basis of operations was to be established under the protection of the gun boats. Between 5,000 or 6,000 waggons were em ployed on one single road between York River and James River, On the morning of the 30th all had crossed Whitebeck Swamps. We left Savage Sta tion on the morning of the 29th, in the midst of a dense fog, and followed that road encumbered with wounded, and crossed Whitebeck Swamps, which is a kind of woody marsh. But, when we arrived, the head of the column had alone passed. We heard musketry on before, and, galloping forward, I met Keser, who informed me that we had repulsed the o soon av y enemy's cavalry, which had attempt e d t o molest our m Sumner, who had -ant ade on our rear It We not left his position. At nightfall we encamped, and at dawn of day I learnt that all our waggons and all our troops had passed Whiteb ec k S wamps . . h It is thes n hear enemy attacking a On the morrow we advanced. , scorched by a burn ing Ewa, tywaLdo James River. Tho oaneral con ferred with the commanders of the gunboats, and then galloped off with our nephews. We soon hear the report of cannon, and the enemy sttacks Smith (who holds Whitebeck Swamps). Another attack is made on the centre of our line. Those attacks having thrown the enemy into a kind of disorder, the general returns with us to the gun boats, in order to confer with Captain Rodgers. We embark upon the Galena; while there, a re port is sent from the rear announcing that a power ful body of the enemy is adv • ancing towards the position occupied by Porter. Immediately we ascend the river, in order to throw the weight of our cannon balls into the scale, and open a fierce fire. The lieutenant is at the masthead with the signal officer, who telegraphs with the men who work Porter's signals, which are placed on the roof of a house in order to direct our fire. I also climb up to the mast-head, in spite of my jack-boots and spurs. In the beat of the action the helmsman forgets to steer straight, and the Galena runs ashore—a disagreeable thing, as immediately the enemy covers the neighbourhood with sharpshooters. We at last get off, and Porter's fire slackens. We thence conclude that the enemy is repulsed, and a " fraternisation " with th© " blue jackets" takes place, in which I participate. The general returns to his head-quarters, and we separate from him We then went to Fort Monroe on board a gunboat, the Jacob Bell, which was sent here with despatches. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BELFAST AND NORTHERN COUNTIES. The report of the directors states that the total receipts for the past six months are £1,097 more than for the corresponding period of last year, al though there has been a very considerable falling off in the passenger traffic. The goods exhibit an increase of £1,729, and in the postal service there is an advance of £l7O in the amount received for the carriage of mails. The total receipts for the six months amounted to £50,012. The Carrickfergus and Larne Railway is expected to be open for traffic about the Ist of Sept. next ; and arrangements have been entered into for the working of the line by this company on advantageous terms. It is proposed to put on a fast steamer between Larne and Stranraer, and it is to be hoped when those facilities are given that there will he an increase in the passenger traffic over the line. The balance available for divi dend, after paying all charges against revenue, amounts to £18,064, out of which the dividend on the 4 per cent. preference shares will absorb £3,200, and the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum on the ordinary shares, leaving £1,132 to be carried to the reserve fund. The capital account shows that £1,059,485 has been expended, leaving a balance against the account of £48,536. The balance in favour of the reserve fund is £9,245. The revenue account for the half-year ending June 30 showed that £49,912 had been received, and £21,446 had been expended, leaving a balance of £28,466. COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Cockermouth on Tuesday. Mr. Steel, M.P., presided. An abstract of the accounts has already appeared. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he was exceedingly glad to observe the satisfactory position of the line, and to know that its prospects were improving every day. (Hear.) They would have traffic from the Cockermouth, Keswick, and Penrith Railway, which was in the course of formation. Negotiations were now going on with the directors of that company as to the junction with the Cockermouth line, and he hoped the result would be satisfactory. By the item £4,780, amount received upon. 239 original shares of £2O each, they had been enabled to pay for the restoration and repair of the bridges, and doubling the line of railway. It had been a matter of discus sion among the directors whether jthey should pay a dividend of 5 or 41 per cent. Of course, in the latter case a larger balance would have been left on hand, but considering all the circumstances, the present condition of the railway, and the prospect of increasing traffic, they had determined upon pay ing 10s. upon each original share, which would leave a balance of £1,996, The report was adopted, and a dividend of 10s. per share was declared, payable on the 11th inst. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. COLCHESTER AND STOUR VALLEY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at Colchester. The r e p or t s t a ted that the expenditere on capital account amounted to X 286,676, leaving a balance of £136 .

A reward of £4 10s. was voted to the crew of the institution's lifeboat at Fleetwood, for putting off and assisting in conjunction with a steam-tug to save a sloop which, during a heavy gale of wind, had become disabled off Fleet wood on the 25th ult. This valuable lifeboat has several times been instru mental, under the most perilous circumstances, in saving 27 shipwrecked persons_ A reward of £l2 was also granted to the crew of the Penmon (Anglesey) lifeboat of the society, for going off during a strong gale of wind on the 24th c , distress and ult. to render assistan ce to the smack Frodsham, of Liverpool, which was obs erved in a disabled state r ultimately succeeded in taking her safely intoLlan dudno Bay, where she remaine d b y her all night.

The lifeboat found that the wreck's crew had previously aban doned the vessel in their own boat, and had fortu nately succeeded in reaching the shore in safety. The master of the brig had been put on board a. fishing smack, from which he was brought on shore by the lifeboat. A reward of V 10s. was also granted to the crew of the Arklow lifeboat belonging to the institution, for going off in reply to signals of distress from a ship on Arklow Bank. When about half-way, the lifeboat observed that a steam-tug had suc ceeded in getting the ship off the bank. A reward of £9 was likewise voted to a boat's crew in appreciation of their gallant conduct in putting off in a salmon coble during a gale of wind, and rescuing, at great risk of life, the crew of four men of the schooner Thankful, of Sunderland, which was totally wrecked off Burghead, N. 8., on the 19th ult. Every moment the position of the ship was becoming more dangerous, as the ad vancing tide drove her in amongst the small rocks to the back of the sea wall, and no boat could live in the terrible surge that was fast breaking up the vessel. The crew, four in number, along with the pilot, took to the forerigging, and in a short time the beach was strewn with pieces of the wreck, the bulwarks nearly all destroyed, the boat washed overboard, and the deck broken up. Though only 40 yards from the pier, not the least assistance could be rendered to the crew, whose faces were quite distinguishable as they clung to the swaying rigging. At 20 minutes past six the foremast creaked, and its living freight had hardly time to crawl down to the only bulwark above water, for the schooner now lay on her beam ends with a bilge towards the sea, when it fell by the board. In about five minutes more the maintopmast was snapped by the gale as if it had been a reed, while the bowsprit and other gear was carried away, leaving nothing but the gutted hull, with the main mast standing. Another hour of awful suspense passed, during which time the five men lashed themselves to the bulwark, the sea every other minute breaking over their heads in large masses. At half-past 7, one of the sailors, a young man, was washed from the wreck,but fortunately succeeded in catching the floating rigging, by which he was able to regain his former position. Another young heroic sailor seemed to be the life of the whole company in this trying emergency, and his efforts to keep up the spirits of his companions were signally successful, About eight the waves broke over the ship with, renewed violence ; but still those on shore could re. turn no answer in the affirmative to the piercing cry that came from the wreck, " Can't we get ft boat ? " The voice was that of the gallant sailor already referred to; the others were too much ex hausted to utter a word. M'lntosh, the pilot from Burghead, expired from sheer cold and exhaustion. None who saw him perish can soon forget the fear ful agony of his daughter as she bade her father farewell from the parapet of the breakwater. After renewed efforts a boat was got over the breakwater, and at great r i s k succeededin saving the other men, who were in a very exhausted condition. the nearest lifeboat station was at Lossianiouth, which is about 15 miles from Burghead.
