THE ADMIRALTY REGISTER FOR WRECKS FOR 1854. (Front the Journal of the National Life -boat Institution) The Admiralty register of the wrecks that have oc curred on the coasts of the United Kingdom during the year 1854 has jest been published by order of the House of Commons, accompanied by the Wreck Chart of the British Isles for the same period. We are therefore enabled, in continuation of the series which we have in serted in former numbers of this journal, now to present them to our readers. Those who have retained in their memories the num ber of casualties to ships and of lives lost which these documents have hitherto disclosed, or who now com pare them with this last melancholy record of the precious things, the lives and property of men which the insatiable waters have engulfed within the brirf space of 12 months on our own coasts and neighbour ing seas alone, cannot but be impressed by the dis couraging fact that, so far from any measures hitherto adopted to abate this annual drain on our wealth and our life's blood having succeeded in diminishing its amount, the loss of life during the year 1854 was greater than in any previous year of which we have any record, amounting, as far as is known to 1,549 lives, being 560 more than in the previousyear, while the number of vessels lost was 987, being 155 more than in 1853. The only legitimate deduction, however, from this comparison is, that there is all the greater ne cessity for increased exertion and additional precaution ary measures, both of which must be persevered in until the average loss of life and property on the sea is re duced to the minimum amount attainable by human skill ; for to altogether subdue and neutralise the de vastating power of that mighty element, when lashed into fury by a storm, is far more than the utmost skill and ingenuity of man can ever hope to attain to, and his failure to do which will probably ever remain an evi dence of the finite nature of the powers which in this world are bestowed an him. In comparing this increased loss of life and property with the eff , rta that have been made to reduce we must remember that, until the passing of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, the provisions of which did not come into force until the Ist of May last, no efforts cor- responding with the increased trade of this country had been made, as we have ourselves often borne witness to. We trust, however, that the passing of this act is the first dawn of a new era on us, and if its full effects are not immediately seen, they will soon, and year by year, • be more perceptible. In the meantime, let us hope that each in the proper sphere of his own duty, whether it be the Legislature, the shipowner, the shipbuilder, the ma, ters and seamen of ships themseives, the life-boatinsti: tutions, or the public by whom they are supported, Will each put the shoulder to the wheel ; and, with God's blessing on their endeavours, the average proportionate loss of life and property from shipwreck will, we firmly believe, he in a few years reduced to half what it now i . The summary appended to the register is as follows : The works on the coasts and in the seas of the United Kingdom in the year 1854 were 987, which may be thus classed : Totally wrecked 431 Totally lost in collision Damaged seriously, and had to discharge 462 Damaged seriously in collision The number of casualties in each month were : January February March April May June July August September October November December .. 26 .. 35 .. 30 .. 131 .. 127 . 109 Total 987 Of these, 350 occurred on the east coast of Great Bri tain ; 33 on the south coast, and 164 on the west coast ; 66 wrecks took place on the coasts of Ireland ; 5 were cast on shore at Scilly, 9 at the Channel Islands, 19 at Orkney and Shetland, and 5 at the Isle of Man ; the re maining 331 wrecks occurred in the surrounding seas. Thus, the register for the year 1854 shows an increase of 155 wrecks above those recorded in 1853 ; but, as compared with the year 1852, it shows a less number by 123. January was, to the shipping on the British coasts, by far the most disastrous month of this year ; continued gales prevailed nearly throughout, causing the loss of 467 lives, and the wreck or damage of 258 vessels. The weather was not at any period of the rest of the year so boi,terous as to cause, comparatively, any remarkable increase of casualties until October, which, with No vember, caused the wreck or damage of 258 vessels— exceeding the casualties of the same months in 1853 by 91; the loss of life, however, was not quite so great. LIVES LOST IN 1854. The whole loss of lives during the year, so far as has been ascertained, amounts to 1,549. Of these, 13 were lost in the Embla, wrecked near Blyth, in a snow-storm, on 7th Jan. ; 200 in the Tay leur, wrecked at Lambay Island, Jan. 21 ; 23 in the W. H. Davies, wrecked at Vatersa Island, in the Hebrides, 27th Jan. ; 16 in the Charles Jones, wrecked on a rock off Esha Ness, Shetland, Jan. 31 ; 10 by starvation, on board the wreck of th e B ona D ea , w hi c h was b oar dedC off Mizen-head, and the survivors rescued Feb. 11 ; 11 by the upsetting of the life-boat of the Liverpool Steam tug Company, when trying to save the crew of the Che rokee, stranded in a gale in the `Vest Hoyle, Feb. 18 ; 14 in the Essex, lost on the Scroby Sand, on the same day ; 480 in the City of Glasgow steam-ship, missing since the lst March, on which day she sailed from Liver pool for Philadelphia; 11 in the Bonito, which foun dered off the Start, in collision with the Ann Kimball, in the night of March 24 ; 199 in the Favourite of Bremen, which sunk near the same spot, in colli sion with the Hasper, in the night of March 29 ; 21 in the Europa transport, which was burnt at sea May 31 ; 11 in the fishing lugger Happy Return, lost near the Dudgeon, Oct. 18 ; 12 in the Oxefia, wrecked on Has borough Sand, Nov. 17 ; 23 in the Mary Graham, wrecked at Sunderland in the night of Nov. 22 ; 40 in the Nile steam-ship, wrecked near Portreath in the night of Nov. 30 ; 16 in the Rovigno, which sunk near Hasborough Sand in the night of Dec. 4 ; and 14 in the London, wrecked on Burnham Fiats, at night, Dec. 6. The remainder were lost in smaller numbers, exclusive of many more lost in ships that are missing. Of the 1,200 lives enumeratea above, 210 were lost in two ships, which foundered at sea in collision—a casualty which the registers show to be greatly on the increase— viz., the collisions in 1852 were 57, in 1853 77, and in the year 1854 94 in number. The increase in the loss of lives has, however, been still greater, the register for 1852 showing a loss of 920 lives, for 1853 689 lives, and for the year 1854 the deplorable loss of 1,549 lives. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. ADMISSION OF REPORTERS. A general Court of Governors and Almoners of tbii institution was held in the board-room on Wednesday ; Lis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge in the chair. There was a very numerous attendance of governors and almoners. The SECRETARY read the minutes of the proceedings of the la s t court, which were confirme d. A GOVERNOR th en proposed that the reporters from the public press should be admitted, which having been duly seconded, a short discussion ensued, when a division took place. The numbers appeared to be— For the admission of reporters Against the motion .... 15 .. Majority against The motion was accordingly THE SCHOOLS AT HERTFORD. A report from the sub-committee on education was read, in which, among other matters, it was recom mended that certain alterations and improvements should be made in the system of teaching grammar and reading and writing which was now practised in those schools. The report was received by the Court with general expressions of satisfaction. SUSPENSION OF PRESENTATIONS. A report was then read, recommending that at Easter next no presentation be granted except to her Majesty the Queen, his Royal Highness the President, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and the Governors made in re spect of the speciality of their donations up to the Court iu March, 1850. This recommendation was made, it was stated, in consequence of the present position of the funds of the institution, by which it appeared that the expenditure had for some time past exceeded the income by between 3,0001. and 4,0001. a year. The recommendation was adopted after a short dis cussion, and the Court adjourned. . _ A HINT FOR THE NEW POSTMASTER-GENERAL.—An article appeared in a contemporary a few days ago re specting the facilities for spending money in drink, pos *reseed by our soldiers in the Crimea, and the difficulties in the way of their remittingsmall sums to England. 42/ u new Postmaster cannot do better, by way of in augurating his re' 'nStartin s-e-Grand, than to establ ish an ffice ig a n t the camp where l money orders cart be obtained irifienore small amounts, say as low as 4s. or 5 at the s., or free, if it might be. of Id. for the accommodation, be. If no such facilities exist, or exist in a Less accessible e w ez e sibl i e form, this would, at least, give those so at littleave friends to remit to the chance of doing or no expense or trouble. Two SEAMEN Rimeanir night vocATED.—CAUTION TO SEAMEN.—On Friday last two smacks anchored off the West Harbour, after those °las on board had made goy/ with a t ar rangements to proceed to . board light the following morning. At .r e n. the two men, 10 p t ug by day' who are brothers, who were on eels, the Enterprise, laden with powdeir.kefof these yes after kindling a small fire in the stove in below,uojunTa:iwr shut up the scuttle cover and crept into their berth s and went to sleep. In the morning the n eighbouring sma c k nic hailed the Enterprise in vain. Pieces of coal were then pitched on to the deck, in the hope of arousing the men, and still they came not. At length a man boarded the Enterprise, and, on taking off the bunk-hatch and look. lug down, he observed one of the men twisted up on the floor, and the other cooped up in a berth, and both in a state of s t upor , amounting almost to insanity. The tunnel of the stove had been choked, and the fire of the previo-as night of nzv having soon consumed all the modicum the ff.ma. which th e wre t c h e d apar t men t had contained, eanti upon On the poor me n w hi c h f o lio wed is easily fresh air was n the disc over y b e i ng ma d e a su pply of despatched oni nt roduced, and a boat w a s immediately proceeded t o t reat shore and returned with D r .

The follos - ving was the state of the ships refitting at Portsmouth yesterday : The Caesar, 91, Captain Robb, was taken in band yesterday in the steam basin, to be refitted. The Inflexible, 6, paddlewheel sloop, was completely refitted yesterday. The Stork gun -boat wan completed in the shipwright'e department on the 29th. The Urgent steam troop-ship will be turned out of the hands of the same department, and ba ready for ser• vice this day ; the Fox, 42, under conversion to a steam transport, on the 31st of January. The Russell, Hastings, and Hawke, 60-gun blookships, are refitted. The Blenheim will be taken in hand on her return from Calais Roads. The Calcutta has completed the repair of her defects. The Polyphemus and Salamander are complete, except a few small items. The Edinburgh will be refitted by the Bth, and the Ajax by the 27th, of December. The steam gun-boats Weazel will be out of the ship. wrights' hands on the 31st December, the Dapper on the 27th, the Biter on the 15th, the Swinger on the Bth, the Starling on the 31st, the Skylark on tbel27th, the Snap per on the Bth of January, the Hind on the 15th, the Pincher on the 22d, and the Jackdaw on the 29th. The Marlborough, 131, is nearly complete in fitting her machinery, and is expected to have steam up in the basin on Monday ; the Shannon, 51, is shipping her boilers ; the Repulse, 90, is not yet in hand, but her ma• chinery is nearly all ready in the dockyard for her. In harbour are the Victory, 104, and St. Vincent, 101, flag-ships ; the Excellent, gunnery-ship ; her Majesty's state yacht the Victoria and Albert; the Illustrious, 46, training ship ; the /Eolus, 42, store and ammunition ship ; the Fairy and Elfin Royal yachts ; the Sealark and Rolla, training brigs ; the Portsmouth and Fanny, tenders. The steam transport Jura, No. 14, Capt. J. G. Wick ham, whose arrival in Plymouth Sound was mentioned yesterday, reached Spithead yesterday. On the 24th Nov. she passed the schooner Warbler, off Cadiz, steer ing N. W. ; and on the same day passed the barque Duke steering to the eastward ' • on the 28th, in lat. 49 N., long. 5 . 40 W., exchanged colours with the British barque Arno, homeward bound ; wind, N.E., strong. The Jura went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday afternoon to disembark 362 men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, 47 of the Royal Marine Artillery, and 19 officers, form ing a portion of the late Royal Marine brigade doing duty in the trenches at Sebastopol. They were played out of the dockyard and through the borough to the floating bridge, on their way to the head-quarters at Gosport, by the band, and enthusiastically cheered by the populace on their route. The following were the officers :—Col. Hurdle, C.B. in command ; Capt. Elli s , A.D.C. ; Lieut.-Colonel Holloway, R.M. ; Lieut.-Col. Alexander, R.M.A.; Brevet-Majors A.slett and Rodney, R.M. ; Capt.

Until recently convalescents from the seat of war i n the East, on arrival at the port of debarkation in Eng• land, were allowed to go on furlough at once ; but an order has since been promulgated that, on invalids arriv ing in England, they must proceed to join the depots of their regiments before they can obtain furlough. Thus, a soldier whose friends reside in Portsmouth or South ampton cannot be allowed to visit them until he has been probably to Ireland or Scotland, if his depot should be there, in order to obtain leave. The Europa steam-transport went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday afternoon. The screw steam-ship Brunswick, 80, was taken out of the basin-dock at Keyham, Plymouth, on Thursday, and put into the North basin to receive her engines; and the hospital ship Belleisle, 6, Commander James Hosken, was placed in the basin-dock to be examined and re paired. The screw steam•sloop Ariel, 9, Commander John P. Luce, is in Plymouth Sound, ready for sea, and it is ex pected that sailing orders will be received fur her to-day. The American merchant ship Spitfire, which arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday, spoke, Oct. 24, in lat. 9, N., long, about 26 W., the English clieper ship Strom berg, with emigrants for Melbourne, out 16 days only from London—all well. The steam-ship Niagara arrived at Liverpool from Dub lin yesterday, having on board the City of Dublin Mili tia, consisting of 25 officers and 557 men. The officers' names are—Col. D. C. Latouche, Lieut.-Colonel L. Rotche, Major G. E. Powell ; °apts. B. R. James, R. E. Seaton, W. H. Davies, R. H. M`Donnell, W. Shaw, and John Brennan ; Lents. C. E. Bonche, 0. M`Der molt, H. D.

A large number of naval volunteers, for the Crocodile, left Liverpool for London last evening. A court-martial assembled on Wednesday on board the Wellesley, guard•ship of ordinary lying off Chatham, in the river Medway, to try Dr. Robert Wallace, sur geon, Royal Navy, on the following charges, viz. :-- 1.4. For that he, the said Dr. Robert Wallace, late of her Majesty's ship James Watt, when in actual service and full pay in her Majesty's fleet, and while having charge of invalids, was, between the Ist and 17th days of August, 1855, on several occasions, on board the transport Cottingham and on shore at Falhudd, in the Mend of Gothland, in a state of drunkenness. 2dly. For that he, the said Dr. Robert Wallace, late of her Ma jesty's ship James Watt, when in actual service and full pay of her Majesty's fleet, and while having the charge of invalids, did, between the days beforementioned in the first charge, while on board the transport Cottingham, and also on shore at Falhudd, act in a harsh and unkind manner towards invalids so under his charge, and did not treat with sufficient care and attention such of the said invalids as are hereafter mentioned—namely, Mr. Robt. H. Boyd ) late of her Majesty's ship Colossus, since de ceased ; Mr. George Jeremiah Whitehouse, second master, late of her Majesty's ship Coesar ; Mr. James Fergusson, assistant-engineer, late of her Majesty's ship Nile, since deceased ; Samuel Boundy, caulker, late of her Majesty's ship Exmouth ; William Harton, private Royal Marines, late of her Majesty's ship Blenheim, since deceased ; George Cook, ordinary seaman, late of her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington ; and Robert De main, late stoker on board her Majesty's ship Cressy. The following officers composed the Court :—Commo dore Christopher Wyvill, President ; Captain-Superin tendent John Jervis Tucker, Captain Richd. L. Warren, Captain Lord Erederick Kerr, Captain the Hon. Arthur A Cochrane, C. 8., and Mr. William Webb Hayward, Judge Advocate. Lieut. Joh❑ W. Crispo officiated as officer of the Court. The case for the prosecution occu pied the whole day. The court assembled at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, and closed at 1 p.m. on Thursday. The prisoner was assisted by Mr. McCarthy Stephenson, solicitor, of Chatham.. The witnesses called to prove the charges were :—Mr. James Cunningham, hospital dresser, late of the Bel leisle, sent on board the Cottingham to assist Dr. Wal lace ; George Cook, ordinary seaman ' • Robert Demain, late stoker on bourd the C ress y ; and Samuel Boundy, caulker of the Exmouth. The prisoner, in his defence, which was of considerable length, complained of the long period that the Admiralty had allowed to elapse since his return home, he having during that period done occasional duty on board the flag ship at Sheerness, and having no official notice of their intention to bring him to a court-martial until the 17th of the present month, he having arrived at Sheer ness on the 10th of September last. He had, therefore, been deprived of the opportunity of getting witnesses to support his defence, in consequence of the Admiralty having appointed most of them to foreign stations. The prisoner produced a great number of testimonials of the highest character, in addition to his service certificates, and called witnesses, also, as to his treatment of the in valids and his character generally. The Court having been cleared remained in consulta tion from 10.45 a.m. to 12.40 p.m. On re-opening, Mr. W. W. Hayward read the finding of the Court, which was—That the first charge was fully proved, and that the second charge was proved to the following ex tent—that the prisoner bad been guilty of treating Boyd, Whitehouse, Cook, and Demain in a harsh and unkind manner, and did not treat them with sufficient care and attention ; but, taking into consideration his former good conduct, proved by the numerous certifi• ficates which bad been produced, they only adjudged him to be dismissed her Majesty's service, and he is hereby dismissed her Majesty's service accordingly.

The plani , , &c., for the several proposed lines of this company, were among the first deposited yesterday in accordance with the requirements of Parliament, and we learn from them that it is intended to give a large amount of local accommodation to the millowners and manufacturers in the Cray Valley district, and at the same time to make the line contribute its share in the general combination for obtaining a direct communica tion between Westminster and all the South London railway termini, as well as with Dover and Brighton. It will be seen that the policy of the company is to possess the power of having junctions and termini at Greenwich, Orpington, London Bridge, Waterloo-road, Vauxhall, Battersea, and Westminster. Such objects as these are worthy of the parties who now guide the policy of this company, and it will not be surprising to any one who studies the annexed list if more than an ordi nary share of pablic interest should be attracted to the East Kent projects in the next session.

IRISH AND SCOTCH BANKS. The returns of circulation of the Irish and Scotch banks for the four weeks ending the 27th of Oct. last, when added together, give the following as the average weekly circulation of these banks during the past month, viz. : Average circulation of the Irish banks £6,783,615 Average circulation of the Scotch banks ..... Average circul a tion during past month —£11,090,950 On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the several banks, as given in the Banking Almanac, the following appears to be the state of the circulation : The Irish banks are below their fixed issue £434,121 The Scotch banks are above their fixed issue 1,215,126 Total above the fixed issue £1,:349,247 The amounts of gold and silver held at the head offices of the several banks during the past month have been as follows : Gold and silver h e ld b y th e I r i s h b an k s £3,079,355 1,750,462 Gold and s il ver h eld by the Scotch banks Total of gold and silver held 23,829,817 The above statements complete the returns of the cir culation in England, Scotland, and Ireland for the month ending the 27th of Oct. These returns, combined with the average circulation of the Bank of England for the same period, will give the following results of the circulation of notes in the United Kingdom, when compared with the previous month : APPOINTMENTS. The following appeared in our late edition last night : Captain Symonds, C. 8., to commission the Conqueror. Commander De Horsey to commission the Victor. Commander Ennis Chambers to commission the In trepid. Commander McKillop to commision the Recruit. Commander R. Risk to commission the Coquette. GUN-BOAT APPOINTMENTS.
