Distressing Accident to a Lifeboat. ---~--- LIZARD, CORNWALL, Jan. 3. The Rev. P. Vyvyan Robinson states :—" With the deepest regret I have to report that yesterday a fatal accident happened to the lifeboat on this sta.- . tion. I was out in the lifeboat with her crew yes terday, and for two hours she had behaved as gal lantly as possible in a very heavy sea ; but while returning a tremendous wave overwhelmed her and capsized the boat, breaking every oar except one. Out of ten of us in the lifeboat seven succeeded in getting into the boat, but, with one oar only, we could not manage her, and she was quickly carried on to the rocks, over which, with great difficulty and hazard and many brUises, we got into a place of safety. Mean's hile the lost men, whom I saw and heard on rising to the surface, had been car ried into a counter current behind the great Stag Rock, where they could neither get backwards nor forwards. One was shortly carried out to sea, but the other two might have been saved had we had the rocket apparatus at the Lizard, but when that arrived from Cadjwith it was too late, and the men were dead. Unfortunately, there is no house here where the apparatus could be kept. The boat held on with her anchors most marvellously for more than hour, bumping about on the ledges, but at last it parted, and she was quickly knocked to pieces on the rocks, for by this time the gale had increased to a hurricane. The names of the poor fellows who were lost were Peter Mitchell, the coxswain, who has left a widow and three children ; Richard Harris, the second coxswain, widow and two children at home ; and Nicholas Stevens, a widower, without children. " I shall be very glad to receive the contributions of the benevolent towards the future support of the poor widows and orphans." We may add that the case of the families of the deceased lifeboat men was taken into consideration at a meeting of the National Lifeboat Institution held yesterday, when, with expressions of deep sympathy, £lOO was voted to the two poor widows and five children.

The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the recent storms and loss t life at sea, and t o enable them eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those who may perish by war.

A new lifeboat will be sent to the Lizard in a few days, as the institution nearly always has boats ready to meet such emergencies, which happily are of very rare occurrence. In fact, the lifeboats of the society have been manned during the past three years, on occasions of service and exercise, by up wards of 18,000 persons, and six lives only have been lost, including the three men above named. In a fleet of 153 lifeboats it is to be feared that such accidents must occasionally be expected. The crew of the screw steam frigate Orlando, 600 in all, were paid off at Devonport yesterday morning in three-quarters of an hour, in the pre sence of Admiral-Superintendent Symons. They appear to have conducted themselves with propriety throughout the commission, and at parting Captain Dixon complimented them by saying he never wished for better men, and hoped that, whatever ship they joined hereafter, they would leave her with as much gratification to the officer in com mand. The crew mustered on the jetty, their own band playing " Auld Lang Syne" and " God save the Queen." They then cheered the captain and officers, and, with colours flying, marched four deep into Fore-street, headed by the marines. Here there was a renewal of hearty greetings prior to final separation. The frigate and her engines are stated to be in excellent order. The following re ceived medals : —Samuel Tressider, gratuity, £l5 ; pension, £4l 16s. ; Daniel C. Cole, gratuity, £lO ; pension, £3O Bs. ; Thomas Turner, gratuity, £l5 ; James Hales, £l5 ; pension, £34 19s. ; and Henry M'Leod, £10; pension, £24 6s:- Wm. Webber re ceived the Humane Society's medal forsaving the life of R. Braun, off Marseilles. The Rev. W. L. Graham, chaplain of the Gibraltar, who joined the Orlando on her return to England, was discharged from the frigate on arrival, in compliance with the decision of the Court of Inquiry held at Malta, and consist ing of Admiral Kellet and Captains Campbell and Napier. The Malacca, 17, screw corvette, Capt. Oldfield, made her official trial of speed yesterday at the mea sured mile in Stokes Bay, under the supervision of the officers of the steam factory and reserve of Ports mouth dockyard. The ship was down to her load line draught, having officers and crew, with alistores on board. She drew 15ft. 10in. of water forward, and 18ft. aft. The wind was moderate during the trial, and the sea smooth, the six runs being made over the mile with the following general results : Ship's speed, Ist run, 9.724 knots ; 2d, 9.375 ; 3d, 9.677 ; 4th, 9.376 ; sth, 10.112 ; 6th, 8-846. The mean measured mile speed of the ship was 9.576 knots. The maximum number of revolutions 92, the pressure of steam 201 b., and the vacuum 27in. forward and aft. In trying her turning powers the ship completed her course each time as follows : With full boiler power—Half circles, to port, 2min. 35sec. ; to starboard, 2min. 27sec. Full circles.-- To port, 2min. 35sec. ; to starboard, snain. 20sec. Revolutions--Before entering circle, 92 ; after do., 86. With half boiler power—Half circles, to port, 2min. 56sec. ; to starboard, 3min. 6sec. Full circles —To port, smin. 50sec. ; to starboard, 6min. 20sec. Revolutions of engines —Before entering circle, 91; afterwards, 87. The Malacca is of 1,034 tons, and her engines are 200 horse power, nominal, driving a Griffith's two-bladed screw. The trial of the ship's machinery yesterday gave full sa tisfaction, and the ship will sail from Spithead for foreign service as soon as the weather sufficiently moderates to admit of her getting down Channel. The paddlewheel steamer Hermes, 6, attached to the third division of the Chatham Steam Reserve, having been surveyed at the hands of the officials connected with the master shipwright's staff, and been found unfitted for further service, was yester day taken in tow by the Locust and Otter paddle wheel steamers, and removed round to the shipbreak ing yards of Messrs. Castle and Beach, at Deptford,, for the purpose of being taken to pieces. The whole of the smaller class of sailing frigates and sloops, - some years been lying rotting in the Medway, and impeding the navigation of Chatham harbour, have now been got rid of by the Admiralty, and have either been sold out of the service by public or pri vate contract, or, when circumstances rendered it necessary to do so, have been broken up. There now remain in the river only the larger class of the old line-of-battle sailing ships, together with a large squadron of variousdescriptions of steamers attached to the reserve, all of which could be made available for service in a comparatively short period, should their services be suddenly required. The Monkey paddlewheel steamer arrived at Chat ham yesterday, for the purpose of towing round to Woolwich one of the iron mortar boats laid up at that establishment, an Admiralty order directing it to be converted at Woolwich into a transport for service at that dockyard. The official trial of the twin-screw launch con structed for a steam tender for her Majesty's iron clad frigate Bellerophon, took place at the mea sured mile, Saltpan Reach, near Chatham, on Wednesday, under the superintendence of the officials connected with the Chatham steam reserve. The screw launch is similar in all respects to that constructed for the Bombay, and which was destroyed when that vessel was burnt. The engines and machinery were constructed by Messrs. John Penn and Son, the makers of the engines for the Bellerophon. They are made on the high-pressure principle, each engine driving a separate screw working beneath the vessel's counter. Each screw is driven by its own shafting. The screws, which are exactly similar in pattern, are each 3-ft. 6. in. long, 2-ft. 6-in. in diameter, and set at a pitch of 3-ft. 11-in., with an immersion of the upper edge of one inch. On leaving the harbour to make the official runs, the draught of water was found to be 3-ft. aft, and 1-ft. 9-in. forward, with 19cwt. of coals, two tons of ballast, and ten persons on board. The trials were under the superintendence of Capt. Randolph, commanding the steam reserve, Mr. An derson- representing the firm of Messrs. Penn and Son. Although a stiff breeze was blowing the whole time from the south-west, the steamer at tained a high rate of speed, and fully demonstrated the value of the twin-screw principle, the mean of the six runs over the measured mile giving an aver age speed of 7.718 knots per hour. The highest number of revolutions of the screw was 396 and the lowest 355 per minute ; mean pressure of steam 801 b.; load on safety-valve, 1001 b. The diameter of each of the cylinders is five inches, and the length of the stroke six inches. After making the official runs the vessel was tried in making the circle, when, the rudder being left free and the port engines moving ahead and the starboard engines astern, the complete circle was made in exactly 59 seconds, the steamer turning in exactly her own length. At the close of the trials the vessel steamed up to the dockyard, against a strong ebb tide, at a speed of six knots per hour. The paddle-wheel steamer Medusa, 6, 312-horse power, Master Commander T. Potter, arrived at Chatham yesterday, and went alongside the Wel lesley, 72, when she received the whole of the boys and lads on board from that vesssl for con veyance round to Devonport to the Ganges, 84, to which training-ship they are to be transferred. The Wellesley will resume her former dutyas flagship and guardship at Chatham, Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., hoisting his flag on board on his promotion to the rank of Commodore. The supernumerary seamen not re quired to be retained on board on the removal of the boys and lads to the Ganges have been trans ferred to the Royal Naval Barracks. The paddle-wheel steamer Virago, 6, 300-horse power, attached to the Chatham steam reserve, is undergoing most extensive repairs to both hull and machinery in No. 1 dock, in order that she may be brought forward for commission. Her machinery has been removed into the factory for a thorough overhaul and repair, and her boilers have been taken out. The nature of the repairs ordered to be carried out will detain her in dock for some months. FATAL OCCURRENCE ON THE THAMES.—Yesterday three men, named Mills, Taylor, and Bryant, all ships' carpenters, in the employ of Mr. Collins, of Dept ford, had been out repairing a craft, which was lying in the river, and were returning home to breakfast, when their boat getting between two barges was smashed, and all three men were immersed. Taylor and Bryant were rescued, but Mills was drowned. About the same time, on board the Gabrielle, from Rotterdam, lying off Wapping, a 'ail named Spiel, fell from the rigging on the deck of the vessel, and was so dreadfully injured that little hope is entertained of his recovery.

Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught ►ill they are 11 years 01 age. With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care fully investigated by the Committee, an 4 with tnln informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most exigible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take in the little ones whose chaired r and circumstances disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are thcse who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by theirnatural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents ate breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little lama' es from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 , and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the neces , ary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it tight to make a widow and her t.mily paupers for lire because one of them (the naughty boy of the fam ly) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, b^cause she has so large a family, that you will not k , lp her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into " the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it dott g to others as we would they should do unto iis that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "i un away," none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th m ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi. dent from the police static. its, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 0 years of age, have been appr•'hended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand. there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli• ante and seit-help, be permanent burdens to the State . 'the Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to !vs. de the little ones, to save them I rom the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on tine other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the lus itution present' all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, th , ir suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars; every =ruing is devoted to scho 1 work—reading. and writing, and cipherin,r, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oijects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupatiofts-- making brown paper bags for bankers, and white paper bags for trades mon, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them; picking the coil for the mats, mending , the c othes, &c. Some assist*, the master in the garden, tugging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the hou.e, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life.

A special meeting of the magistrates of Middle sex was held yesterday at the Sessions House, Clerk enwell -green, in pursuance of the following notice issued by Mr. Nicholson, the clerk of the peace for the county : 44 The Chairman of the Court having received from the Home Office an important order with reference to the cattle plague, made by the Lords of the Privy Council on the 16th December, requests your attendance *A consider the same on Thursday, at twelzo—o'clock, the 44.11 Jent . :-.37, 066, when the chairman of the Court trusts tlie chairiiika of each petty sessions will make it convenient to attend." Mr. Henry Pownall (the chairman of the Court) presided, and there were present—Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Kemshead, Mr. Loveland, Mr. Rankine, Capt. D. O'Brien, Mr. Johnson, Mr. J. Fish Pownall, Mr. Wyatt, Mr. P. N. Laurie, Mr. Pilcher, Mr. Giles Pilcher, and a large body of the magistracy of the county. The CHAIRMAN said the large assemblage of magistrates then assembled he took as indicative of approval of the subject which he had called them together to consider. The object was not one to be explained in a few words, as the Government had already issued four Orders in Council in reference to the cattle plague. The first of these orders was issued in July, the second in September, the third in November, and the last on the 16th of December last. The last was the one in which they, as magi strates of the county of Middlesex, were more im mediately concerned at the present time. The order .of November placed power in the hands of the district magistrates to make certain regulations to prevent the spread of this disease ; but that order had been found to be quite ineffective, and therefore more stringent measures are necessary to be carried out. It was only yesterday that he had received a letter from a chairman of one of the petty session divisions of the county which bore out what he had stated. (The chairman then read the letter, in which it was stated that the whole of the district was free from the disease except two parishes, where it raged fearfully, but no precautionary measures had been adopted.) Notwithstanding this, and with the admission that the plague raged fearfully in two parishes, no steps had been taken by the magistrates because it did not affect the whole of the county. Similar complaints had been made through every county, and representations had been made to the Government from the most influential agriculturists throughout the country, and the agri culturists amongst the nobility had also urged upon the Government the necessity of enforcing other measures of greater stringency. Therefore some orders should be issued which should give the public confidence that effectual precautions would be ap plied, so that they might be able to stay the pest by which they were at present afflicted. It theref ore became necessary that they should have more strin gent regulations, but not more stringent than the .L.AJ . this county was very peculiar in many respects, as they had within it an enormous population to be fed, and therefore it was a question that required great consideration. It was a question more im portant than the feeding of that population, for it was a question how they were to preserve the stock of the whole country. The arrangements for the prevention of the spread, of the disease were not b4night to perfection, and although science had developed certain measures, yet it was important that they should take other steps to prevent the ' contamination in every direction as much as possible. In Essex yesterday a resolution was passed prohi biting altogether the traffic of cattle along the public roads, &c. Similar resolutions had also been passed in Surrey and Hertfordshire. It had been prohibited to drive cattle from one farm to another if they had to pass over a turnpike road. Now they had to consider how that would affect the county of Mid dlesex ; for if they were to adopt such a resolution, and prevent the passing of cattle along the turnpike roads, that would virtually stop Islington market, unless they could by some scientific process get them there without crossing the turnpike roads. Still he hoped that county would not fail to deal with the subject by such strong measures,as the necessity required ; and if it was required that the market ought to be stopped, that should be done, and it would be better that the supply of beef to the inha habitants of London should be suspended for a few weeks rather than the supply to the whole country should be stopped for many years to come. The power of stopping Islington market rested with the Lord Mayor, and if his lordship was not disposed to take that step, .it would then be for that Court to interfere and stop the cattle from p ass ing over their turnpike roads. It appeared to him to be impera tive that their roads should be stopped as in the sur rounding counties was done, and thus to show them that the magistraies of the county of Middlesex were not less anxious for the public safety than their fellow-magistrates of the neighbouring counties. Four ways were open to them tomeeatleitllige t e h v e il. ro T a l ds ie first was to stop all communication of the county ; the second was toa d as llo w wt th he lt ca th tt e l y e to be driven to the market ; the t.iiir r ; ee a t nd all th f e or f e o i u g r n th ea w t a tl s e , should be there slaughtered that as far as they could di market to which th ey circle from the place shouldwere driven, e slaughteredw ithin a limited t h e where they were landed. It appearedto agree on him that they should appoint a co mmittee to wait upon the Lord plan Mayormost t o likelyse e if t a t ey . could mutually efficiently to • t the carry o effect the Order in d w efi ould iv n el o y t , be ableas the Caonuyn resolutionc Council. Ty definitively, he a a d s j s ourned from S a t ur d ay l ast to Court that day t waso pass Monday next ; but if a committee was appointed that day they could confer with the Lord Mayor and draw up resolutions, and the report of them could be brought up on Monday, so that no time would be lost. When those resolutions were pre sented to the Court on Monday they could then be made valid ; and as there would be a county day on Jan. 18, the magistrates would have a fortnight to see how they worked, and then, if necessary, they could make any modification in them. He hoped the magistrates would take up the subject in the spirit which the urgency of the case required. Mr. NORTHALL LAURIE rose and said that the Court required no apology from their chairman for the manner in which he had brought the matter about. The gravity of the subject quite merited his observations. He thought the best way would be to appoint a committee at once. In a matter affecting the whole of the county the time of the Court could not be misapplied, and they could not have the committee too large. For his own part he entirely concurred with the chairman in his re marks. He thought that nothing but a cattle blockade would be an effectual remedy against the disease. There was another point, namely, the manure, which was taken into the country, and was liable to do great:damage. They had not that direct control over the police that the Government had, and they laboured under a 'disadvantage thereby. He looked forward with great anxiety to the future, „-, p...e4e.A., / ‘ L e e , ~,-; ATE PAPE A., •-....-,. .4- - =,-.3.7e.m. k tik _._ .. .. for if the cattle ease went on as it w kir ' -I ''' 14 he could hardly conceive what the res ' !,.., M•it7 At present the butchers of London 1 ‘ ..._7, -:-.-- tz.,-- - 4.:,-, - themselves very well. He thought that tltinz hasi l . **lv better act first, and see the Corporation of th e City 4 of London upon the matter afterwards. It appeared to him that the Court should also meet from time to time to consider this subject, as nothing could be done without the order of the Court. He was aware that offences had lately been committed in reference • to taking diseased cattle to market, and where a conviction was obtained a fine of so much per drove was inflicted. He thought that the traffic would not I be stopped until they imposed a penalty of so much per head. Ile concluded by proposing that thesub -1 ject be referred to a committee of the whole Court. Mr. Bus!: said the Court was perhaps unaware of the fact that it could not restrain traffic by rail way. Farmers might bring diseased meat into the market, and they had no power to stop it. London was the focus for cattle, and he did not know but what the order of the IGth ult. precluded them from in tering with the cattle upon the roads. Ile concluded by moving—” That a committee be appointed to consider what measures it will be desirable to take under the powers given to the Court by the Order 1 Hof Council of the 16th December, 1865, and to report to the Court at its next meeting. That power be given to the committee to communicate' with the Home Secretary, the Lord Mayor, and any other authorities they may think requisite ; and that the committee consist of the chairman of each. division." Mr. HEALY seconded the proposition of - Mr. Busk. Mr. Arrrnoeus said he did not think that Mr. Laurie's motion had been seconded ; if it had not, he should be happy to second it. Mr. HEALY (in continuation) said that this mat ter concerned not only the butchers but other trades. It was a matter that required mature consideration, and should be referred to a smaller committee to c onside'. ..the ramifications of the question. He thought the chairindi'l t ild hardly - be enough to form a committee; they might include one gentleman from each division as well. Mr. BUSK said they might certainly include one worthy magistrate as well as the chairman. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he felt that it was a very important subject, in consequence of his recent con nection with the metropolitan market. He thought it would be highly indiscreet to pass any resolution that day without due consideration, as it was a question that affected three millions of people who had been in the habit of indulging in the luxury of meat, and they ought not to think of closing the market without careful consideration. They must consider this question in all its bearings, as it was one of a most important character, and it appeared to him that all its ramifications should be entertained by a committee. They ought to cause as little trouble and as little depreciation of the value of cattle as possible. He could not go with his•friend Mr. Laurie that it should be a committee of the whole court. There could be no doubt that what ever committee the matter was referred to it would represent the entire feelings of the county. He thought that the several chairmen of the petty divi sions and as many more would form a good com mittee. Mr. W. E. Cox addressed the Court, and in the course of his observations alluded to a case that had come under his notice of a farmer sending two cows to market that had been condemned. Gen. WOOD thought the amendment proposed by Mr. Busk by far the best plan to adopt. They must not interfere with the market without the co-opera tion of Government, because if they were to stop the supply of the London markets they would stop the supply of all the surrounding districts as well. He considered this an imperial question, because if they stopped the supply of the London markets, they stopped the supply of the world. In considering the question they would, of course, think it their duty to give the Government any information and assist them as much as they could. Mr. WYLD, M.P., thought that if the market was to be closed it should be by an act of the Govern ment, and not of the magistrates of Middlesex. After a few observations from Mr. Turner, Mr. Laurie's motion was withdrawn, and the amend ment, which became the substantive motion, was It was afterwards agreed that a committee, con sisting of 17 members of the Court, should be ap pointed to carry the former resolution into effect, and to report to the Court at an early day. The Court then adjourned. The Proposed Municipality for Westminster. At the meeting of the vestry of St. George, Ilanover-square, held yesterday (Thursday), Dr. Brewer in the chair, a letter was read from the vestry-clerk of St. James's, Westminster, inviting the vestry of St. George to send delegates to confer together on the subject of the proposed consolida tion of the vestries of 'Westminster into one municipal body. Mr. Glenton having moved and Colonel Bagot having seconded, that the letter be simply acknowledged, and ordered to lie on the table, Dr. Appleton moved an amendment—That six dele gates be sent to the proposed conference from the parish. lle alluded to the circumstance that each of the parishes in the borough, under the present sys tem, maintained a large staff of well-paid officials, whose services were only necessary because of the district being subdivided into small parishes, and on that wall--(pointing to a table of officers' salaries) he said, was a record of what St. George had to pay owing to that very subdivision. St. George might possibly manage its affairs better than the other parishes, but it was bad at the best. (Dis sent.) They ought to meet once a week. Ile had known of bills being passed through Parliament yielded to pressure vestry from before the vestry could take steps to oppose the m , St. owtinGgetoorgteheirrepuenaftereqdluyenytof individuals, and refrained from doing what was for the public good owing to that pressure being put upon them.—(Dissent.) In a municipal corpo ration there would be more independence and more strength, than in a number of jurisdictions, as at present. Let the members look at the gas supplied to their parish. Was it not wretched? This was only owing to the fact that the gas companies banded together, and were able by that very means to snap their fingers at the various vestries who were not so united as they should have been. The gas and water companies did as they liked, and all that the ratepayers could do was " to grin and bear it." If they wished to know what a municipal corporation could do, let them look to the city of London, who were preparing to light the City with gas, a thing that the divided vestries of Westminster, as at present constituted, would be unable to do for their several districts. He trusted a municipality would be formed. Mr. Westerton seconded the appointment of delegates. After a - discussion the amendment was lost, and the origi nal motion declared carried by 16 to 6.
