TIITII D EDITION. BUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. PRUSSIA. _,..__- The conference to take into consideration mea sures for fortifying the coasts of Germany will meet at Berlin on the 9th inst. All the coast States except Hanover have accepted the invitation. _ _ In his reply to the Ministers on the congratula tions on New-year's-day, the Prince Regent espe cially thanked the Minister of Finances for the readiness he had displayed, with the consent of the Chambers, to place at his disposal the necessary sums for the organisation of the army. Prussia is actively carrying on preparations for defence, and urges upon all the other States to do the same. MONEY MAR KRT A&D CITY NE N 1 S. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 4th January, shows some very important changes. The bullion, owing to the increased demand for the Continent, has been diminished to a considerable extent. In the reserve of notes there is a falling off of upwards of a million and a quarter sterling ; but the other securities, owing to the augmented in quiry for money and the advances made by the authorities on Government stock, owing to the shuttinr , of the transfer books, have been increased to a like amount. The public deposits, in conse quence of the usual quarterly disbursements, shows a large diminution, but an addition has been made to the Private 'deposits ; and the active circulation has been augmented by nearly one million sterling. The variou s items, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circrdation £21,825,095 Increase .. . 996,620 Bullion . . • • 16,460,824 Decrease .. 349,230 Rest .. • • • ' • • • • 3'250946°492 Increase .. .. • • • .

Pateman, T oes Ilffington, near Stamford, has sustained a serious k e 411 8 team of six horses has been invariably admired. from %ern in condition alterative powders were given th e oi m°e, to time. A mash containing, as was thought, hor se ; 11 „a' quantity of powder, was given to the working tent s 4 11, Thursday night, the 29th ult., but on the con ing that- ""c bucket being again offered to them next morn thi;refused to partake of what had been prepared for from n; and ;,, it soon became apparent that they were suffering raj L' n es B . An investigation proved that arsenic by v - ,„ 8 `a , 0 had been used with the mash instead of the altera and. Powder. Mr. Swan, veterinary-surgeon, was sent for, 11 4 ' 0 applied the necessary remedies, but it is feared that one of the six team and three young horses that par took Nf o 4 ""ae poison will recover from its effects—two died on Th e 3', oue on Tuesday, and another on Wednesday. •". mash given on Friday, and not eaten by the horses, was thrown away ; some of this was partaken of by a beast, which i s also suffering from its effects. Not one of the working horses was worth less than £45. In addition to this serious loss several of Mr. Pateman's sheep died dur ing the summer from a pro-alent disease. The nrscnir had been in the cupboard about two years.—Stamford Mercury. MR.

IRELAND. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) THE EXTENSIVE FRAUDS ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.--. IN RE ALLEN. This bankrupt was described as of Lloyd's Coffee-house, underwriter, broker, &c., and' to-day was appointed for his adjourned examination. The bankrupt was prosecuted at the instance of the Bank of England, convicted, and sen tenced to 10 years' penal servitude. The bankrupt was brought up in custody, but no examination occurred in public. The bankrupt was permitted an interview with his friends in a private room. Messrs. Paul and Turner were appointed by the Court accountants to the estate, and Mr. Paul now reported that he had ascertained that the liabilities amounted to 17 about: £87,000, the assets realised about £1,200, and outstanding debts on the underwriters' account of be tween £3,000 and £4,000. Under the circumstances, it was agreed that an adjournment should be taken sine die, as Messrs. Paul and Turner • could not carry their inquiries further from any information to be obtained from the bankrupt. Through the exertions of Messrs. Paul and Turner, it is probable that an addition will be made to the assets, but at present £1,200 must represent proofs to the amount of be_ tween £30,000 and £lO,OOO proved debts, POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MANSION -HOUSE. Thomas Topham, a discharged soldier from the Bengal Artillery, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with being a deserter from the 7th Dragoon Guards, under the name of Samuel Seekers. Sergeant Cotterill, of the 7th Dragoon Guards, said ho knew the prisoner, and gave him into custody last night as a deserter from that regiment. The prisoner denied the charge. He said his name was not Samuel Seekers, rind that he was not a deserter from the 7th Dragoon Guards. He had been in India four and a half years, and before he went away he was taken up as a deserter under the same name from the same regiment and discharged. The prisoner was remanded for further evidence. William M'Donald was charged with fraudulently ob taining X2O on a cheque on Messrs. Glyn and Company's bank from Mr. Alexander B. Manuel, merchant, Fenchurch street, with the intention of defrauding Mr. E. Walter Sim mons, Tottenham-court-road, his mastar. The sum of £lO 10s. 11d. was found on the prisoner when taken into custody. Ile said ho was going to America. The charge was clearly proved, and the Lord Mayor committed the prisoner for trial. DISABILITIES OF AMERICAN PERSONS OF COLOUR. DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING. THE PREMIER AND THE POPE. The effort of the Papal party to keep up steam shows no signs of relaxation. The Mail of this evening brings to light a curious document, which is in course of signature, and not inthnded for pub lication until presented. It is in the form of a cir cular letter, addressed to the Roman Catholic gentry, and enclosing a private address to Lord Palmerston. It is already signed by Lords Dun raven, Southwell, Bellew, and Killeen, eight mem bers of Parliament, 1.5 marquises, four baronets, and several mercantile men—in all 47. The address is as follows : " To VISCOUNT PALMERSTON. "My Lord,—The undersigned Catholics of Ireland, deeply attached to the Crown and constitution of these realms, deem it right at this important crisis to express -to your Lordship, as the head of her Majesty's Government, our opinion respecting the attempt now made to subvert or weaken the temporal authority of the Pope. We be lieve it expedient for the general interests of Europe that the head of our Church, which comprises the great ma jority of the Christian world, should by his position as an indpondent Sovereign be free to exercise his spiritual authority over Catholics of all nations, unfettered by dependence on any particular State. The wisdom of this policy has been acknowledged by Sovereigns and states men of various creeds. It has been solemnly sanctioned by treaty, and we deprecate a departure from it at the present time. Let it not be supposed that in our desire to preserve to the Popo his temporal possessions we are indfferent to the interest of his people. We value too highly the bless ings (of good government not to desire that they should be extensively enjoyed. We feel persuaded that his Holiness has a heart to carry further the reforms in the States of the Church which he had commenced, and it is our earnest wish that they may be soon completed. We deplore the causes by which they have been hitherto impeded, but we deem it unjust to hold the Sovereign Pontiff responsible for the misgovernment of which he has been accused. We appeal with satisfaction to the acts of his Holiness on his accession to the Papacy, by which ho proved his earnest attachment to the cause of nationality and improvement, although his efforts were, unhappily, frustrated by the machination of foreign adventurers, who worked by terror and intrigue on the feelings of a volatile population, and employed the reforms already effected by his Holiness es instruments for the subversion of his throne. In our anxiety to maintain unimpaired the temporal authority of the Pope we advocate opinions in accordance with the interests of the British Empire, which contains so many millions who venerate his Holiness as the spiritual head of their Church, and whose contentment is not unworthy of the serious at tention of the British statesman We think it right, there fore, frankly to declare these our opinions to your lordship, in the hope that they may exercise a just influence on the policy of her Majesty's Government and induce them to promote or concur in such a settlement of the affairs of Italy as, while it provides for the liberties of the Italian people, will secure the integrity, independence• and neu trality of the dominions of the Holy See."

SINGULAR CORROBORATING EVIDENCE.—SHAMEFUL TREATMENT OF AN ORI'HAN CHlLD.—William Rutledge, a marine store-dealer and boot-closer, of Crgwn-street, Soho, was charged with the following disgraceful conduct to an intelligent orphan girl, 11 years of age, named Mar garet Collins : The child said she lived with the prisoner and his wife as an assistant to the children, and about two that morning she was in her own bed, in the prisoner's room, his wife being out at the time. The prisoner told her to get into his bed, but she declined to do so, telling him that there was no room, and that Mrs. Rutledge would soon be in. He again asked her, but she refused, and after a bit she did. (The evidence of the girl was here unfit for publication, but it tended to show that the more serious offence had not been committed.) She was then crying out, but he told her not to do so. Thomas Dadsworth, C division, said his attention was called to the house by the prisoner's wife, who said he had assaulted her, but she would not give him in charge. A short time after, on passing the house, and hearing a noise, he looked through the window, the blind not being down, and saw the prisoner force the girl into his bed. On seeing the wife in the street, he asked her who was in bed with her husband. She replied, "No one." He then took the, prisoner on the wife's charge of assault, and the girl told him what had occurred. The divisional surgeon had seen the girl, but said nothing serious had taken place. The prisoner partly denied the charge and partly asserted that the girl was willing. Mr. Bingham said, as far as he could understand the prisoner, he meant him to understand that the girl was not unwilling to comply with his desires. If under twelve, whether she consented or not made no difference in point of law. It was to be supposed that any one who had a heart would protect such a child. That he should violate the confidence between master and servant in such a way was abominable. He should tine him £5, or two months; and the girl, being an orphan and in deep distress, had better be taken at present to the workhouse, as she would, being very intelligent, and having given her evidence in a proper man ner, ultimately become a good servant. THAMES. EMBBZZLIIMENT BY CLBRKEL—John Branscombe, aged 22, and Thomas Rutter, aged 46, of No. 11, West-lane, Bermondsey, clerks, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with feloniously embezzling various sums of money they had received for and on account of their employers. The first case was taken against Branscombe. Mr. Warrand, a solicitor, said the prisoner was in the employ of Messrs. Burdett and Farish, linendrapers, of Nos. 1,2, and 3, York-place, Commercial-road East, and it was his duty to receive money from the porters, enter every sum so received in a book, and account for the same to'his employers. The prisoner had at various times re ceived £2B which he had not accounted for, and had appro priated to his own use. The prisoner received £2 45. 10d. of George Turner, a porter, on the 16th of December, and a £5 note on the 29th of the same month, and had not accounted for either of these sums. The £6 note was traced to a dancing shop, where the prisoner had changed it and spent the money. The firm of Messrs. Burdett and Co., while feeling it their duty to prefer this charge r wished the prisoner to be leniently dealt with. The case having been clearly made out by the evidence of Mr. Farish and George Turner, Mr. Selfe said he had only one duty to perform. He would not deal with the case summarily but must commit the prisoner for trial. The case of Thomas Rutter was next gone into. His defalcations amounted to £45. He had been for some time as clerk, and enjoying a good salary in the employ of Richd. Clay and others, extensive wharfingers, of Free Trade Wharf, Ratcliff, and also of Sunderland. From the evidence of Mr. Edger Buffet, a partner in the firm, it appeared that the prisoner had obtained the entire confidence of his employers by his good conduct and appa rent honesty. He was for some time at the Ratcliff wharf, and was promoted to a better situation at the establishment in Sunderland. Mr. Buffet lately discovered that the prisoner had received various sums, amounting in the aggregate to £l5, of various customers, and had not ac counted for the same. Mr. Buffet wrote to Sunderland, and the prisoner came to London, and was taxed with his defal cations, which he at once admitted. The prisoner had been in the employ of the prosecutor three years. Mr. Robert Fairbairn, agent to Scott and Co., earthen ware merchants, Wapping, said he paid the prisoner £8 for his employers, as per bill delivered, on the 20th of Octo ber la 4, and took his receipt for the same. Mr. Buffet said the prisoner had not accounted to his em ployers for the sum of £B, and that he had illegally appro priated it to his own use. The prisoner, who was greatly agitated, said he knew he was guilty. He admitted everything to Mr. Buffet, and ho would throw no impediment in the way of the prosecution. Ho must suffer for the crime ho had committed. ' Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. THIS D..41"8 SHIPPING.

SIR S I beg to forward to you a correspondence which has recently taken place between Miss S. P. Remond, a free-born American lady of colour with whom I have the honour to be acquainted, and Mr. Dallas, the American Minister in this country. I add a copy of her passport. You will observe that a visa to Miss Remond's passport is refused by the American Minister on the sole ground that she is a person of colour.—l am, &c., London, Dec. 29. A BARRISTER. 6, Grenville-street, Brunswick-square, W.C., Dec. 12, 1859. Sir,--T beg to inform you that a short time since I went to the office cf the American Embassy to have my passpo* vised for France. I should remark that my passport is an American ono, granted to me in the United States, and signed by the minister in due form. It states what is the fact, that lam a citizen of the United States. I was born in Massa chliset ts. . . _ . . Upon my asking to have my passport visaed at the Ameri can Embassy, the person in the office refused to affix the visa, on the ground that I am a person of colour. Being a citizen of the United States, I respectfully demand as my right that my passport be visaed by the minister of my country. As I am desirous of starting for the continent, I must request an answer at your earliest convenience.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, SARAII P. REMOND. The Hon. —. Dallas, American Minister, 24, Portland-place. Legation of the United States, London, Dec. 14, 1859. Miss Sarah P. Remond. _ _ _ I am directed by the Minister to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 12th inst., and to say in reply, ho must, of course, be sorry if auy of his countrywomen, irrespective of colour or extraction, should think him frivolously dis posed to withhold from them facilities in his power to grant for travelling on the continent of Europe, but when th in dispensable qualification for an American passport, that of " United States Citizenship," does not exist; when, in deed, it is manifestly an impossibility by law that it should exist, a just sense of his official obligations under certain instructions received from his Government as long as the Bth July, 1856, and since then strictly conformed to, con strains him to say that the demand of Miss Sarah P. Re mond cannot be complied with.—Respecfully your obe dient servant, Buxj. Mon N, Assistant-Secretary of Legation. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date. The purport of your communication is most extraordinary. You now lay down the rule that persons free-born in the United States, and who have been subjected all their lives to the taxation and other burdens imposed upon American citizens, are to be deprived of their rights as such, merely because their complexions happen to be dark, and that they are be refused the aid of the ministers of their csuutry, whose salaries they contribute to pay.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, SARAH P. REMOND. PASSPORT.—I, the undersigned Secretary of State of the United States of America, hereby request all whom it may concern, to permit safely and freely to pass Sarah P. Re mond, a citizen of the United States, and in case of need to give her all layrful aid and protection.

With reference to recent statements of the sup. posed discovery of a cure for cancer used by the Rev. Mr. Reed, Mr. Weeden Cooke, one of the sur geons of the Cancer Hospital, writes : " Mr. Reed's refusal to accept Dr. Ross's proposed commitrec of inquiry exhibits want of faith in his own powers, and with your permission I will endeavour to show that he is wise in shrouding himself in the mystery peculiar to his newly-adopted calling. The patient of his who came under my observation in the Cancer Hospital, travelled from the country to place himself under his treatment. She was in poor circumstances, but having all confidence in the recommendation she had received, she was willing for so great a boon as was held out to her to spend some of her savings. She accordingly paid her railway fares and the usual honorarium (.£1 ls.) to her new clerical doctor. i subse q uently, however, upon her representation that her purse would not bear these depletions, the rev. doctor was kind enough to reduce them to a smaller amount. He will think it uncharitable of me to mention these small matters, but in affairs of this sort the public should know the whole facts. According to Mrs. H.'s statement to the hospital nurse when she first went to the rev. gentleman her breast had a cancerous tumour in it, but the skin was entire. After using some ointment he gave her to apply, the skin of the whole breast was in flamed and ulcerated, and the cancerous tumour remained as before. She was in tolerable strength when she began the treatment, and she left off be. cause she was so weakened that she feared she would not be able to return to her family. She then came to the Cancer Hospital, unable to walk. Fortunately, we were enabled to heal the large ul cerated surface which had been produced, and her general health was again so much improved that she could walk some distance, and ultimately re turned to her friends. Upon inquiry since we hear that she remained tolerably well for six weeks aftet her return home, and then died very suddenly. Of course, gross neglect on the part of the patient, or want of faith in the ultimate cure by these infallible remedies will, in the reverend gentleman's opinion, account for the miscarriage of his specific in this instance. " Sir, it would be well for the public if you would allow me, as briefly as possible, to give you a short history of the pretenders to infallibility in the treat ment of this dreadful disease who have arisen dur ing the last 10 years. " My earliest experience brought me in contact with Dr. Vries, a swarthy West Indian, be-chained and be-frilled, confident in his means of curing cancer, and especially those diseases which most puzzle the regular praCtitioner. I watched his treatment in six cases of cancer for three months, and none were in the slightest degree benefited. London did not appreciate him, but Paris did. There he found accomplices as well as dupes, and for a time his reign was triumphant. In that treacherous weak moment which comes to even great men at times, he accepted a challenge to treat patients at the Hotel Dicu, under the astute eye of M. Vclpeau, the author of an important work on cancer. His failure was, as you may imagine, com plete, and very shortly afterwards we find M. Vries sold up, his salons de consicltation closed, his carriage and horses put up to auction, and the be nefactor of his species in prison, charged with fraud and homicide. 6 6 There is another cancer-curer' residing still, I believe, in London, whose whereabouts was indi cated to me not long since, by the inquiry of the registrar of deaths. Can you tell me, said the re gistrar, how it is that I register so many deaths from cancer in my district of late ?' Of course, the sad disclosure was accounted for by the discovery that the ' cancer-curer' above referred to lived and thrived within his district. Not long since, sir, your own columns gave world-wide fame to an American importation which was to supersede all old world British notions. In the prairies of the States grew a beautiful white flower, which was much affected by the lovely squaws of the Dela ware country. It was said to have remarkable effects in dispersing their tumours. A doctor, more cunning than their own medicine man, brought it to this country—setting aside for a time the claims of his own native land—and here he turned his white flowers into many golden guineas. He era dicated cancerous tumours at 100 guineas each, The skin was first burnt off by aqyafortis. Having thus established a raw surface, the white flowers, as was supposed, but as subsequently appeared a strong caustic—chloride of zinc—was spread over the surface ; this destroyed with much suffering, a portion of the tumour. It was then scored with a scalpel, and the zinc and white flowers put into the crevices thus made. More scoring and sad suffer ing followed for five or six weeks, when the tumour, which might have been removed under chloroform, and therefore without pain, by the knife in two minutes, was brought away. There was then the healing of a large surface to be effected, and the recovery of health, wasted by so long and dreadful an operation, to be brought about. Because it was vaunted as new, many poor crea tures submitted to all this torture more than once, and the disease returned as ruthlessly and more so than it does when the benignant chloroform and the quick scalpel do the work without any suffer• ing. Will these warnings be of any avail to the sufferers from this malady ? Do . yeti, sir, assure them, as you may with earnest sincerity, that there is no royal road to the discoveryso anxiously sought for. I believe it will be made in time by careful induction, by the study of large numbers of cases, by the readiness to weigh all suggestions which may be made, from whatever quarter they may come, and, above all, by watching and assisting the actions of nature herself—helping her in her salu tary movements, and putting away from the patient all those lowering, depressing agents which society and circumstances, and medical theory uninformed by experience, gather round the object of our soli citude." .

The Victoria Bell, cast for the. Leeds Town-hall by the well-known firm of Messrs. Warner and Sons, of the Crescent Foundry, Cripplegate, London, has this week been permanently fixed in the tower, and can now be rung, tolled, or chimed ,on special and festive occasions, and applied to denote the hour to the inhabitants of the borough, so soon as the clock shall have been fixed by Mr. Dent. The instruction to Messrs. Warner by the town hall committee was to provide a bell of 4 tons, and they have produced one almost exactly that weight, viz., 4 tons 1 cwt. llb. The design for the Victoria Bell was prepared by Mr. Boswell, the fore man of the establishment, under whose superinten dence it was cast. Its composition was three of copper to one of tin ; the note produced, B natural, is rich, full, and sonorous, and the tone has been acknow ledged by competent judges to be perhaps the best and purest of its kind in the country. The diameter of the bell is 6 feet 2 inches, height 5 feet, thick ness of sound bow 6 inches, and weight of the clapper (which is of wrought iron) 1. cwt. Upon one side of the waist of the bell there is a profile of her Majesty, and upon the other the royal coat of arms and Messrs. Warner's patent. The bell was brought down to Leeds in the last week of August, and successfully raised and fixed temporarily for trial on the 30th of that month, the framework on which it rested weigh ing between three and four tons. It was deemed advisable to raise the whole of the framework six feet from the ground to allow of the expansion of the sound and its ready escape from the tower, but beyond this and the first trial nothing further was done until the present week, when the bell was per. manently hung upon a wheel, and provided with the apparatus by which it may be rung upon all festive occasions. The wheel is ten feet in diameter, or thirty feet in circumference, having two grooves for a couple of ropes, by means of which the bell may be effectually rung. All the preliminaries having been concluded, the trial ringing took place on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Six or eight ringers from the parish church were engaged, and it took them three minutes to raise or set the bell, or, popularly speaking, to reverse the position, the mouth upwards. The bell having thus attained its full swing, it was rung on both evenings for an hour and a half or two hours, the quality of tone emitted being pure, clear, and powerful, and it was tried both " right and wrong," to rest its powers of bearing the weight of the clapper, with the most successful result. On Tuesday the night was considered favourable for the experi ment, and the rich' and mellow sound was heard for a considerable distance with a favourable wind, the breeze blowing in the direction of Woodhouse moor and Headingley. It is believed that the bell when rung will be heard a distance of about six miles, and when tolled or chimed three or four miles. The Victoria Bell, by comparison, is far from being a large one, but it has the advantage, which the more unwieldy bells do not possess, of being perfectly under control, and of presenting no impediment to its constant employment. The Great Peter of York Miaister, which, excepting Big Ben, of Westminster, is the largest and heaviest in the United Kingdom (weighing 27,0001b5., or nearly three times the Victoria. Bell, and having a diameter of 7 feet 7 inches), is practically rendered almost value less, owing to its ponderous weight, and can only be tolled, not rung. Great Tom of Oxford was re hung in 1834, by Messrs: Boswell and Son, but it was only rung three parts up, when the wheel ga - :e way, and since then the bell has been chained down by order of the church authorities, though occa sionally tolled, like the Great Peter, with a ham mer. Great Tom of Lincoln, which weighs 12,0001b5., and the great bell of St. Paul's, London, which weighs 11,5001b5., and has a diameter of 9 feet, and a circumference of 28 feet, are in the same undigni fied condition, and simply strike the hours. .All the fittings and framework of the Victoria Bell, which arc composed of English oak, are of so substantial a character that they remove all cause of • anxiety for the safety of the tower. They were erected under the direction of Mr. Boswell, to whom great praise is due for the great care and workmanlike ability with which he has superintended the com pletion of his difficult task. The cost of the bell and fittings we understand will be about £l,OOO. When used simply in connection with the clock the bell will be struck upon the outside, with a hammer weighing about two hundredweights, and which will be raised about nine inches from the sound bow. A suggestion has also been made as to the desirability of ,a hammer being provided, by which an alarm might be given in case of fire. This prin ciple is adopted pretty extensively by our trans- Atlantic brethren, some of the signals being so complete, that it is said they will indicate in what part of the city the fire has occurred. We have no doubt the suggestion will receive every considera tion from the proper quarters.—Leeds Mercury. FATAL SHIPWRECKS ON THE COAST OF IT—EXFOIeD. It is again our melancholy duty to have to record' a disastrous wreck, or rather wrecks, which have taken place near here during the last few days, in the one case involving a great amount of suffering; and the loss of cue life, in addition to the destruc tion of a large amount of exceedingly valuable pro perty. The first of these disasters which we have to notice occurred at an early hour on Sunday morn ing in the neighbourhood of 13annow, where the Arethusa, of Glasgow, from the Ila.vannahs, was driven ashore, and became a total wreck. The Arethusa, which was a 7essel of 322 tons burden, built at Greenock in 1828, belonged to Messrs. R. Dunlop and Co., of that place, and was commanded by 'r hos. Martin, in addition to whom there was a crew of 15, including the chief mate and all hands. The vessel had a valuable cargo of tobacco, ma hogany, and lancewood, consigned to Messrs. Hall and Co., Liverpool, which she shipped at the port of Zarza, in the island of Cuba, which place kihe left on her return voyage on the 10th Oct. last. Soon after leaving Zarza the ship grounded on a bank, but came off without apparent damage, and proceeded on her voyage, encountering, however, very rough weather for the whole distance. On the 19th Nov. she commenced making water very fast, the crew being obliged to keep the pumps con stantly going ; and to add to their misfortune, in consequence of their lengthened passage, the pro visions ran short. This continued up to Friday last, the 30th alt , the captain in the meantime twice ob taining a supply of provisions from other vessels. At 2 a.m. on that day, finding that IS - .; could not wea ther the Hook, his sails being all blown away, and some of his crew sick, while the others were com pletely knocked up by fatigue and want of nourish ment, the captain let gothe starboard anchor in the Bay of Fethard, off Begenbon, and hoisted his flag for a pilot. The Coastguards and some fishermen put off and boarded her, afterwards supplying him with water and provisions ; but none of the latter could be induced to stay on board, as asked. by the captain, giving as a reason that she would mot hold to her anchors where she was. On Saturday morn ing the captain went ashore, in order to proceed to - Waterford to obtain the assistance of a steamer, leaving the chief mate in charge, who, finding that she was dragging, paid out more chain and let go the port anchor, afterwards paying out all the cable, which for a time had the effect of staying her. At midnight, however, she commenced drag ging again, and at about 4 a.m. she struck heavily. At about 7 o'clock the port cable broke, and she went on the rocks. At very great risk to themselves the fishermen and country people on shore, aided by the coastguards, succeeded in forming a commu nication with the wreck, and by means of lines res cued, with one exception, every soul on board. One of the seamen, named John M.Clean, not being able to swim, lashed himself to a log of mahogany, in the hopes of being washed ashore, but unfor tunately was drowned. In the course of Sun day and the following night the ship broke up, the shore being s trewed with portions of the wreck and cargo. The tobacco, whi c h was of the finest leaf, consisted of more than 200 bales; the duty on which alone is estimated at over L 7,000, but none of it was saved, except that which was washed shore. We understand that the oppor tunity was too tempting to some of the inhabitants of that district, who are likely to get into trouble for their over-partiality for° the " weed," the reve nue officers having detc eted several parties taking it away with them, even by car-loads. The second wreck which we have to record took place at Gilmore, on Friday night, when the. barque L a dy Rebow, of London, was run ashore near St. Patrick's-bridge, Kilmore, in consequence of the state of the weather precluding the captain getting a sight o f an y o f th e c o ast lights. The Lady Rebow, of 86 tons burden, was bound from St. Michael's with oranges, and hopes are entertained of her being recovered, although the greatest por tion of her cargo will be lost. Fortunately no lives were lost in this occurrence.— Wexford Constitu tion. SINGULAR DEATH.—At an inquest on the body of Edward Marsh, of Wigan, who died suddenly on Mon day last, held before the Wigan borough coroner on Wed nesday, the jury returned a verdict that "Deceased died from suffocation, by eating black pudding and broad whilst in a stata of intoxication." BODY OF A MAN UNKNOWN FOUND AT Bow. — The body of a respectably-attired man, about 33 years of age, was found on Thursday morning in the river Lea, at Bow, He was attired in a black reefing jacket, black cloth vest with fancy brass buttons, pilot trousers, shirt marked "A. 11., 6," flannel shirt marked "T.
