lIIONIIi fIARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENGS, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The available supplies of money for discount pur poses, the negotiation of loans, home and foreign, and the development of industrial enterprise are larger than ever, and the payment of the April divi dends have imported to the market an appearande of greater ease than that lately witnessed: The sum of £3,000 was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday in American coin. The Bank of France return for the past week shows the following alterations when compared with the former return. There is a decrease of £356,000 in cash in hand, £488,000 in the bills discounted, £B,OOO in the advances, £133,320 in the notes, £176,000 in the Treasury balance, and of £552,000 in the private accounts. The Bank of England return, completed to the 10th instant, exhibits the changes usual at the com mencetneut of the financial year. The payment of the dividends having caused a temporary exflux of both notes and specie, the bullion has been decreased by £219,619, and the reserve of notes by £307,740. The private securities, owing to the maturity of loans and bills, have been decreased by £1,719,186, While the Government securities show a falling off of £284,517. The following are the particulars l ; 73 Public Deposits... ...

At the meeting to he held on the 16th instant the report of the directors of the Agra Bank to be presented enters fully into all the details of the arrangements made since the resuscitation in January last. It states that it will be satisfactory to the'shareholders to learn that the resuscitation of the bank has throughout India met with the most friendly assurances of kind feeling and good willon the part of the general community, both Euro pean and native ; the following extract from a letter from the Calcutta manager, dated Ist March, affords the most encouraging and substantial evidence that the Bank will meet with that support from its old constituents, which above all will tend to renew confidence and to insure it a future of success and Prosperity. I have much pleasure in advising that the branch of the Bank was opened for business to day, and that a large proportion of the dividend Payable was transferred to account with the Agra hek (Limited). At all the Indian bran c h es , w ith exception of Bombay, the old managers have be en reappoint e d, so that the Bank will have the benefit of the local knowledge and experience W hich a residence and business intercourse of sor ae years h ave enabled them to acquire. With respect to the prospects of the ultimate out-turn of the assets of the liquidation, it is of course too early to speak positively. The most earnest and watchful attention is being given to the working out of these assets in the manner best cal c..lated to promote all interests, and while the alrectors are gratified to state that they see their Way to making due provision for their engagements athey mature, w i t h out having recourse to inju tcious sales o r sacrifice of property, they are able to add that so far as the progress hitherto made aff ords a crit er i on of the future, they see no reason t,o apprehe n d t h at the result will fall short of what naS been anticipated. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Mark eta nurine the last few d ays there has b een very l i ttle ani mation, e O n l y moderate transactions have been • v ported in sugar, w i t h out any moderate change in alue . s. qauialtties Coffee h as b een i nact i ve, b ut super i or f maintain fo rmer ra t es .

The traffic returns on the East Indian Railway to the week en di ng the 24th February amounted £ 5 3,450, aga i nst £44,466 in the corresponding Week last year. The following communication has been forwarded fo r Publication : LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Every day adds some new fact to our present m knowledge eteors h of t nature of th e magnificent shower of observedethe on l3th of November last. ° a W s e w n ow ar in k of n o m w e t t e h o a r t s it thrown w aeowing to the passage of itnogour system by some extraordinary perturbation which must have oc curred, either on the very outskirts of the sun's sphere of attraction or beyond it, at a period which by some is doubtfully fixed about the our era. We also know th a t this year 126 of swarm round the sun like a planet, but witharetrograde moves rograde motion, in an orbit the elements of• which coincide with those of the first cornet of 1866, the period of its revolution being about 33 years and three months. Professor Forbes, of St. Andrew's, who for some time past has been engaged in construct ing the curves representing the number of meteors observed at different places within a given time during the night of the 13th November, now an nounces that, having subjected the observations made by Mr. Maclear at the Cape of Good Hope to the same ordeal, he has discovered a difference of a quarter of an hour between the observations at that place and the English ones, Cape Town being pre viously redu ce d t o G reenw i c h ti me . We will en deavour to ex pl a i n thi s cur i ous f act w i thout the aid of a dia gram . D raw a h or i zonta l line and take upon it a num b er of equ a l divisions, each representing five minutes time ; raise perpendicu lars at the p o i n t s th us mar k e d, an d then, ac cording to a s ca l e o f l en gths numbered, say from one to a h un d re d, t a ke on each perpendi: cular, commencing from its foot, a length equal to the number of meteors observed during the five minutes to which the perpendicular belongs. Thus, if your scale of time on the horizontal line begins at 10 p.m., and you find it stated that during-the five minutes that immediately fol lowed half-past 11 twenty meteors were counted, you must mark the length 20 on the perpendicular corresponding to the 19th division of the horizontal line. Now, if the summits of all these perpendicu lars be joined by lines, the result will be a wave-line or irregular curve, which will graphically represent at a glance the increase or diminution of the meteors in the course of the evening. In comparing the English curve thus obtained with the Cape Town one, Professor Forbes has found the same waves throughout, with this difference that the latter were regularly about a quarter of an hour earlier than the English ones. Toking, therefore, the inclina tion of the meteoric orbit to the ecliptic to be 19 (leg., as it is supposed to be, our author finds the difference of time to be 13 minutes, a result which tallies so closely with observation, that it serves to confirm the correctness of the inclination itself, THE SUN, I,O:NrON, FRID Ay EVENING, APED, 12, 1867.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE NOBLE.-A NOVEL POINT. This bankrupt was a clerk, of Portland-place, Southampton, and he applied for his order of dis charge. His debts were £786, due to a long list of creditors, the cause of failure being a number of debts contracted by his wife before marriage and insufficiency of income. It was stated that the bankrupt's friends had agreed to pay a composition of 7s. 6d. in the pound. A portion of this had been paid, and it was the intention of the parties to annul the bankruptcy. On the part of the assignees it was urged thit it would be as well to let the matter stand over,, but his Honour ruled that even if the order of discharge were granted it would be in the power of the bank rupt to annul the bankruptcy at any time. Attorney to the Assignees—Even after the order of discharge is granted? His Honour—Yes ; that will make no difference. Before the order is granted, however, the balance of the composition must be paid. Cential Criminal Court—(This Day). - OLD COURT. (Before Air. Baron Channcll.) Charles - Anderson, carpenter, a Swede, remanded from last session, was indicted for the wilful murder of James Marchien upon the high seas. From the evidence it appeared that he shipped as an able seaman on board the ship Raby Castle, and that on the 24th of November, while off the coast of Africa, he deliberately cut deceased's head from his body with an axe. Marchien was also an able seaman, and at the time of the occurrence was lying in his berth on the forecastle with his back towards the entrance. There were five cuts in the back of the neck and two on the shoulder. The chief mate said that a week or ten days previous to the surrender he was on ,the deck and the prisoner at the wheel. It was then blowing a heavy gale of wind, when he heard l,im say, "This will never do. We shall never get to London. I shall kill the Russian Fin, and when we get to London I can easily run away." Witness told him to make less noise, and pay more attention to steering the ship. The prisoner meant the deceased when he said he would kill " the Russian Fin." The deceased was a mulatto, and came from the West Indies. Several of the crew on board the Raby Castle gave evidence. They considered the prisoner to be " soft." He took his meals alone. In the hot weather he always went below, and in the cold, when the crew assembled below, he left them and passed his time on deck. The crew had frequently said there was a Russian Fin aboard, and that it was not right he should 13.3 there. When ho was taken into custody after the murder, he said he had done it to save the ship. Mr: Daley, for the prisoner, set up the defence of insanity, which, he contended, the whole of the evidence clearly established. William \railer, master in the ship Progress, said the prisoner had taken a voyage with him for about three weeks, but he was discharged because he was supposed to be insane. He saw the prisoner while he was in custody at Cape Town, and he then thought him decidedly insane. The chief officer of the ship Progress said he saw the prisoner in custody at Cape Town. When he was on board the Progress he thought he was an idiot, that is a man who had not his full senses. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) George Smith, carpenter, was indicted for un lawfully attempting to enter the dwelling-house of the Marquis of Downshire, in Belgrave-square, with intent to steal. The police, who received information that an attempt had been made to enter his lordship's house, promised to watch both the back and front of Down - shire-house. The prisoner was seen to jump off the garden- wall of one of the houses in Upper Eccleston street, and he was accordingly taken into custody, and on making inquiry it was discovered the pri soner had been in the Marquis of Downshire's garden, and there marks of attempts having been made to raise some of the windows, the marks corre sponding with some knives found in the prisoner's possession. . - The jury found him guilty. There were two previous convictions proved against the prisoner, but it was also stated that he had been attempting to gain an honest living. Under these circumstances the Recorder sentenced him to two years' imprison ment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. from going into the house. The defendant struck him several violent blows on the breast and neck. He kept sparring and also fighting about, and at last he was dragged away by his companions. Mr. Neale, the solicitor, of Kennington-park-road, New ington, said that the principal object of his client was to prevent his family and also his customers from being sub ject to the annoyance of the defendant and his companions, whose general conduct was most disgusting. The Hon. G. C. Norton bound the defendant over in two sureties of £lO each to keep the peace for six weeks. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GENTLEMAN AND Ins J. M. Thompson, gentleman, of 161, Drummond-street, Euston-square, was charged before Mr. Knox with asiaultiug Kato Walker,. a smartly-attired and good-looking young female. The comptinant said—l reside at 18, Oxford-tem - ice. I livid with the defeadaut a shirt time, and left Lim be cause ho wanted mo to go on the streets. He last tiight met me as I was coming out of the A:hambra, and he asked me for a ring ho had given me, and I gave him the dupli cate of it, and he then struck Inc i❑ the mouth. By defendant--You have known me about four months, ana I have kept you. The defendant —I should like tho case adjourned, as I can prove she is speaking falsely. Mr. Knox—The question is whether you struck her or not. Dofendant—l admit it, but under great provocation. It was a back-handed blow, and not with the clenched fist. Mr. Knox—l do not see why you should evon give a woman a back-handed blow. Mr. Robert Jones, 16, Oxford-terrace—Sir, I took Miss Walker to the Alhambra last night, and while putting her into a cab, the defendant came up and said that she should not get into the cab till he had spoken to her, and he pushed her. I asked him to explain his conduct, and he then asked the complainant for a ring, and on her giving him the ticket of it, he struck her a violent blow with his fist, in the mouth, and but for his catching her she would have fallen. Mr. llnox—l do not soo any injury on the complainant's mouth. Mr. Collins (the usher), after looking at the complain ant's mouth, said there was a slight scratch on it. Mitchell, 311 - A —I was called to take the defendant into custody for assaulting the complainant, and there was a little blood on her mouth. The Defendant—l met this young female last year at a review, and took her to Wolverhampton races, and kept her ever since. I also took her to the Liverpool Coursing Meeting and elsewhere, and treated her very kindly, and she left me in a shameful manner. I last night asked her for my ring, and we parted, and I certainly struckler, but not with such violence as suited; and I am extremely sorry for doing so. Mr. Knox—l think tha violence of the blow has been much exaggerated, or there would have been some appear ance of it on the complainant's mouth, but I cannot coun tenance the defendant striking a female at all, and I shall sine him 40s. or a month's imprisonment. The complainant, taking Mr. James's arm, left the court. XARKE TS. ---T his day. MARK-LANE. Very little English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise or by railway. The quality of the samples, however, was tolerably good. Fine dry wheats were held for more money; but the demand was far from active, at fully late rates. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. The trans actions were on a moderate scale, at extreme quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were firm in price. Both English and foreign barley moved off slowly, at late rates. Malt movod off slowly; nevertheless, prices were sup ported. The supply was good. There was a fair sale for oats—the arrivals of which have been tolerably good—at previous currencies. Beans commanded very little attention. Peas, however, were steady. The sale for flour was firm, at rate rates. Seeds and cakes were a slow inquiry. BIiIF ♦RItITALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

ADULTERATION QF TOBACCO.-Mr. Richard Kusel, of Nassau-place, Commercial-road-east, appeared to answer a summons, at the instance of the Excise authorities, charg ing him with having in his possession 261 b. of Cavendish tobacco sweetened with liquorice and sugar. Mr. Develly prosecuted. The tobacco was found in his possession by two officers of Excise. It consisted of two sorts of to bacco, mixed and so sweetened that it was obvious to the taste and touch. He told the officers that he had cut the tobacco up himself with a knife, which ho showed them, but with which it was quite evident that he could not have done it. He said he had purchased the tobacco from two different manufacturers,whose names he mentioned. The officers purchased samples of each, which on being analysed were found to be pure. The mixture, however, contained 1 per cent. of liquorice, and from 9 to 10 per cent. of sugar. The defendant said that he cut up the tobacco as he re ceived it from the manufacturers, and put no "flavouring" in it himself. One of the manufacturers had special permission from the Excise to use some flavouring in his tobacco. Mr. Dovelly said that was only a small portion of some essential oil, merely to gibe a peculiar taste,which was tho speciality of that maker's trade. The Excise never gave him any authority to use sugar. Besides, the sample de livered by defendant to the officer, as being in the state it was supplied in by the maker, was perfectly pure. Defendant was fined in the penalty of £5O, the full penalty being £2OO. Charles Oldney, tobacconist, 141, Long-acre, appeared to answer a similar summons. Ile stated that he purchased the tobacco from Mr. Kusel, and considered that when ho bought at a fair price of a respectable dealer he had a right to believe it was genuine, and could not be blamed if he was deceived. The Magistrate said that whoever dealt in, exciseable articles was bound to take care that they were not adul terated. Mr. Dovelly said any one accustomed to examine to bacco could tell the difference at a glance. Defendant was fined in the same penalty. THAMES. A DISORDERLY FELLOW AT A WORKHOU SE. —John Riley, a strong, able-bodied man, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and creating a disturb ance in the Poplar Union-house. Mr. Henry Jeffries, relieving officer, said a great many poor creatures wore congregated in and near the Poplar Union-house yesterday afternoon at five o'clock, and, in the midst of relief the prisoner forced his way into the office, drunk and disorderly. He called the officers very bad names, and made a great disturbance. After a violent struggle with him he was ejected, and continued his noise outside. The prisoner forced his way into the office a second time, the former disgraceful scene was repeated, and it took the whole force of the establishment to eject him a second time. The magistrate asked if the prisoner asked for relief, and the reply was in the negative. The prisoner made a long defence. Ito could not obtain employment. He met a school-1'0:10w yesterday, who had just come off a long voyage, and who treated him with liquor. He was not "overstocked with food," and that made him intoxicated. Relief, ordered by the Board of Guardians, had been partially withheld from him. He struck his wife 12 or 13 years ago, and Mr. J e ff u reys in terfered, and had been his enemy ever since. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had given a much worse account of himself than the witnesses had done, and sen tenced him to seven days' imprisonment and hard labour. LAMBETH. ASSAULTING A BEEIL HOUSE-KEEPER. —George Hunt was summoned before the Hon. G. C. Norton with assaulting Mr. James dames, of the Man of Kent beer shop, at Nunhead Green. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, • which went to prove that the defendant was in the constant habit of going to the house intoxicated and creating a disturb ance, and in consequence the complainant refused to serve him.

Yenning, and the court of this company entertained at a ban quet in their magnificent hall last evening a large party of gentlemen, the majority of them well known in the exercise of some public capacity. Amongst the guests were—The Earl of Albemarle, the Earl of Charlemont, Rear-Admiral Sir Sydney Dacres, Colonel Sykes, M.P., Sir S. Morton Pete, M.P., Col. Warde, Alderman Dakin, the President of the Royal College of Physicians, the President of the Royal College of Surgeons, the President of the In stitution of Civil Engineers, the President of the Medical Council of the United Kingdom, Professor Owen, Professor Adams, Dr. G. Rees, Mr. Deputy Fry, Mr. Deputy Charles Reed, the Master of the Salters' Company, the Rev. James Martineau, the R ev . P. P. Gilbert, the Rev. S. Parkinson, Dr. Davis, Mr. William Hawes, Mr. Charles Barry, Mr. Charles Lucas, &c. The company numbered in all upwards of 100. Due honour was done to the toasts of the " Health of her Majesty" and that of " the Prince and Prin cess of Wales, and the other members of the Royal Family," and a congratulatory tribute was paid to the army and navy and volunteers. The last-men tioned toast was responded to by Colonel Sykes, M.P., on the part of the army, by Rear-Admiral Dacres for the navy, and by Colonel Warde, of the London Rifle Brigade, for the volunteers. The last-named gallant colonel in the course of the few observations he made said that this was the seventh year which had elapsed since the volunteers were established, and it was gratify ing to know that they were now in a better state of efficiency than they had ever yet been. The move ment had been well sustained to the present time, and he felt fully assured that when called upon the regiments of volunteers would discharge their duty in a manner satisfactory to their Sovereign and country. The chairman next proposed "The House of Peers," coupled with the name of the Earl of Albemarle, who, in returning thanks, said that nearly 40 years had elapsed since he last had the honour of being a guest of the Worshipful Company of FL,hmongers. At that time he attended there in the character of equerry to his Royal Highness the Duke of. Sussex, and, although politics were eschewed on the present occasion, he could not for bear speaking of the noble and disinterested conduct which the illustrious duke always pursued when the welfare of his country was concerned. " The House of Commons," and Sir S. M. Pao was then given, and Sir S. Morton Peto, in returning thanks, ob served that the advantages arising from such power ful companies as the present tended greatly to prove that the best nurseries of the liberties of the country were its municipal institutions. The toast of " the Lord Mayor and the Corporation of the City of London".having been drunk, Mr. Alderman Dakin acknowledged the compliment in appropriate terms. The next toast was that of " the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Surgeons," associated with the names of Sir Thomas Watson and Mr, Partridge, who respectively ad dressed the company in the expression of their thanks—the latter gentleman observing that the magnificence of such banqueting halls as the pre sent was worthy of the noble and historic mansions of Venice and Genoa. " The Livery Companies of the City of London" was the toast next introduced, and was warmly responded to by Mr. Le Gros Clarke, the Master of the Salters' Company. Other toasts followed, including " the health of the Chair man, the Prime Warden" (proposed by Professor Owen), and the company separated after a very agreeable evening. AQUATIC 3.

The morning being line, and trainers laxiotts, tp. ga exercises — over before the racing of the day was prepared for, the several teams were out exceedingly early. As upwards of three hundred horses were working it was a very pretty sight, but it puzeed the horse-watchers to get at all the principal strings. The Rake was striding magnificently along ; he cantered thrice, and then galloped quite a mile and a half, pleasing his trainer much. Knight of the Garter and Hermit both went a gallop of over a mile and a'quarter, but the latter was not so free in his action as we have been wont to notice. The Knight is getting very fit. The French horses moved first class, and Trocadero will be as ripe as anything else in the Two Thou sand, for which he possesses a good outside chance. He galloped a mile and a half with Dragon and Enchanteur. Thalassius was again schooling Sir Oliver and Arundel, and the Peer, Freedom, and Cellina were cantering. Archimedes did long, steady work, and showed no temper. D'Estournel had a nice smart mile and a quarter spin, led by Sealskin ; and then Leybourne took Ravioli and Moleskin over a mile smartly. Julius followed the Beadle a mile and a quarter, and Opopouax went about the same distance, as did Pericles, Bombastes, and others from Mat Dawson's. Most of Bloss's merely cantered and trotted about. Friponnier and Sceur de Charite rattled over a mile splendidly, and Star of India did a mile and a half at three parts speed. Jasper had a nice gallop of a mile and three quarters, but Hippia did very of m li i t les tle. as V d a id n Athburgh galloped nearly a cou p le , Tomahawk. Tourmalin, 'ror ii ir lc e s ntor, The a A nd ma ß nd en a Nevis had a gallop of over two n • colt did a mile and a quarter ; and Leases, with Scipio, a mile and a half. Falkenstein took Suffolk a mile at a fair pace. Man of Ross and Stradbroke went quite a mile and a half each ; and Python be yond that. Bertie was eased. LEWES. Ostreger did a little longer work this morning, and is•looking as fresh as new paint. The rest has done him a vast deal of good. Binnacle galloped a mile and a half, but went rather "dotty" this morn ing.' Ac!as I bad her usual steady gallop of about a couple of miles, and is looking grandly. Perhaps they will pull her out for the Princess of iVales's Stake. Our two-year-olds arc getting pretty for ward novf. BTOCKBBIDGE. Lecturer came out early, and John Davis again led him a, couple of miles at a very nice pace, and the little horse acquitted himself well. The Duke was still idle, for, beyond trotting exercise, he did nothing but walk about. Gomera is getting into rare form, and so is Seville. The latter, accom panied by Ines, galloped a mile and a half smartly ; but Red Riband, Lady Rose, Miss BAtetnan, Lady Barbara, and Valenciennes were restricted to mile work. Lady Hester again walked about, as did Distin and Fairfield. Black Prince led some of the two-year olds. RICHMOND. Plaudit walked and trotted for some time this morning, then h td two smart canters, and finished up by following Strathconau a mile and three quar ters, galloping at three parts speed, Newland ac companying them. The Two Thousand and Chester Cup horses did their work well, and pulled up quite fresh and sound. Bob Chambers took Rose and -Violet all a mile awl a half, and their action, too, Was free and satisfactory. Black Prince is some what amiss. Imperator led Butablekfte her usua mile and three quarters gallop, and Podargus gal loped a little over a mile. Empress of India trotted freely. MALTON. Knight of the Crescent, after they had cantered thrice, took Grand Cross and Wild Wind a mile and a half, the three looking and going to the entire Satisfaction of John Scott. We are not surprised at Tar - aban's running at Newmarket, for he is very backward, nit having done so much as the other Derby horses here. I n fact, all the White wall animals are far from fi t. The y will, however, as the present fine weather continues, soon be rattling along. No doub t , on the retur n of Taraban, Westwiek, and Rondiuella, sonic of (them will be put through the mill, and others be swe ated. The wolds are getting into nice condition, espei2ially the Grimston portion. LAIABOURNE. Marksman trotted freely this morning, cantered twice, and then galloped a mile and a half. Ile did not show the least bad temper. ILSLEY Achievement took gentle trotting exerci se thi s morning, but did not gallop. Shy is sound, we ll , and lit. Dalby cantered twiet; and had a mile an d three quarter; gallop. 13aAfoot did his usual t ,v o miles steadily. land was in Jong, slow wurk ; and Split the Difference took Dunsany, Gaulevi sure, adid two others nearly a mile and three quarters YORK.

At five o'clock this morning a messenger on horse back arrived at this lifeboat station of the National Lifeboat Institution, informing us that two barques were on the Salthouse Bank, an outlying sandbank some miles west of this place. The lifeboat Wake field was launched without delay, and proceeded quickly in the direction named. The Black pool lifeboat was already launched, and from her more windward position at start ing succeeded iu bringing away the crew of the barque farthest to the westward. This lifeboat crew, at the request of the captain of the other barque, remained by her, to get her if possible off the bank, and not succeeding in that, to rescue them from the impending danger. I am glad to say after much exertion the vessel was safely brought in here this afternoon in charge of our lifeboat crew. She is a large and valuable vessel, called the " A. L. Routh," of New York, and left Liverpool in ballast yesterday for Glasgow in tow of a Liver pool steam tug, but from the violence of the wind and sea the tow rope broke and hence her disaster. --- BLACKPOOL, LANCASIIIRE, Thursday. About three o'clock this morning a schooner, named the Clyde, was observed rolling helplessly in the surf, with a light iu the rigging, states the Rev. R. It. Redman. The gale was blowing furiously from W.N.V., and smart, heavy showers fell at intervals. In a few minutes the lifeboat's crew were called together, and, by the means of lines and ropes belonging to the lifeboat station, they got communication with the vessel. Several of the crew then waded neck deep through the heavy breakers, climbed on to the ship, and rescued the sailors. Thus, w i t hout launching the lifeboat, the whole of the crew of five men were brought safely ashore with the aid of lifebelts and lines. The vessel has been driven on to the beach. No sooner was this gallant act of service performed by the lifeboat men than two more ships were seen iu imminent distress on the sand banks. Eight horses were speedily obtained, and in a short time the Robert William llifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution was launched from her carriage into a heavy surf. On arriving at the first ship they found that she was not in such imminent peril as the one further out and so leaving a pilot on board thelifeboat went to the other vessel, which was evidently a wreck on on the bank. After desperate pulling for two and a half hours the barque was reached, and 14 men were rescued from an untimely grave. Our crew could not now land at Blackpool, owing to the boisterous state of the sea, so they put in before the tide at Lytham, where both the lifeboat and the rescued sailors are at present.
