VICTORY TO THE BRAVE.—Late events prove how impossible it is to resist the military and naval power of England and France united. Russian despotism is at an end. Victory crowns the forces and cheers every one with the pro spect of a speedy sett'ement of an exoensive war, from victories abroad, and instinctively turn to victories at home achieved with the same degree of skill and enterprise, though directed in another channel. Every one Rtll observe how E. MOSES and SON have succeeded in their munificent plans for Autumn and Winter, the novelties they hive secured, the splendid styles of Attire they have invented, the superiority in the materials and workmanship of their seasonable Dress, the correctness and despatch with which they attend to all orders, and the application of their provisions to all classes, are victories only achieved by the bravest sons of trade. The strong forces of Overcoats prepared for 4.utumn and Winter by E. Mom and Sore will resist all the storMs which may battle with the traveller or street passenger. The Light Artilleri of their Paletots will stand the tug of Autumn with the most victorious resistance—the new one they have invented and VP hlch they will sell for 255., is an union of elegance, comfort, and economy, which is perfectly victorious over all previous intro ductions, and the vast stock of fancy goods they have just received from France, salanitted to the operations of the most skillul and the best artists and workmen in the world, are the victories of elegance and fashion which every one will celebrate. Their new stock of Hats, Caps, Hosiery for ladies and gentlemen, Boots and Shoes, &c., are the victorious expressions of superior quality and economical prices. The victories of Commerce in the Wholesale Clothing Depart mrnt may be shared by Merchants, Captains, and others, the stock of Clothing, Shirts, Boots and Shoes, &c., for export is larger, better, and more suitable than any other, the goods are soonest sold, and produce large profits in any part of the world, in consequence of the economical prices charged by E. Moses and Sox. SPECIAL N OTICE.—The Establishment will be Closed on Satur day, October 14th, re-opening on Monday morning, the 16th, at seven o'clock. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard 'the public against imposition, haying learned that the untradesman-like fal:eh od of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITS ANY OTEIER, 11003 E IN OS OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishincnt, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

THE LATE MARSHAL DE ST. ARNAUD. NEWCASTLE, SATURDAY.—The conflagration in the two adjoining towns of Newcastle and Gateshead, some details of which we published on Saturday, appears to be the most disastrous and extensive that any town in England has sustained since the great fire of London. The most praiseworthy exertions have been made for the relief of the hundreds who have been rendered hbuseless by The Illustrated London News, in a recent num ber, published the following notice of the life and professional services of the late Marshal de St. Arnaud, Commander-in-Chief of the French ex pedition to the East. The Marshal died of anguina pectoris:— Lie military success of Marshal de Saint Arnaud is one of the most striking examples of rapid advancement which has been achieved in the French army of occupa tion in Algeria. Thanks to the energetic resistance given to French domination by the people of Northern Africa, that vast country, almost unknown before France converted it into a theatre of war, has be come a most valuable training school for those who wish to acquire military knowledge. In that school all the most distinguished French officers of the present day have been trained, and, without reference to the other benefits which have resulted from the possession of Algeria, it has been of much advantage to France, by strengthening and sustaining the military spirit of its army. For nearly 20 years continual warfare was car ried on against the numerous tribes which refused to submit to France, and it was in the midst of that long protracted war that Marshal de Saint Arnaud achieved the high position which he now occupies. M. de. Saint,Arnaud was born at Paris, in 1801, of a family not distinguished by fortune. He was young when he entered the army, and, like most of those youths who embraced the military profession during the tranquilseign of Louis XVIII., he gavefull play to the love of pleasure and dissipation. During the reign of Charles X. he was for a short time in the body guard of that monarch ; but he shortly after resigned his situation, and came to England, where be resided some time. Soon after the Revolution of 1830 he returned to France, and once more entered the army. It was at this time, while the regiment to which he belonged was on duty at Fort de Blaze, where the Duchesso de Berri was imprisoned, that he obtained the favourable notice of Marshal Bu gonad, commandant of the citadel, by his intelligence and activity, In 1837, as captain, ho went to Algiers, in the Fo reign Legion, which was chiefly composed of political refugees who had sought employment in the armies of France. In that corps M. de Saint Arnaud, distin guished alike by his intrepidity and his military skill, contributed powerfully to the success of many impor tant enterprises. In less than ten years he rose through the various grades from that of chief of the bat• talion to the dignity of Marshal of France. Among the exploits in which he distinguished himself, the most impor tant were the expedition he directed, in 1842, anainstthe unsubdued tribe of Beni-Bondonan, in the west' of Mi lianah ; the attack of the Beni-Ferrah tribe in the fol lowing year • the defeat of the Flizza-el-Bahr ; and the submission of the Cherif Bou Maza, who had provoked an insurrection in the Dahra. ARRIVALS FOR THIS DAY'S RACES: SWEESTAKES of 50 sovs.—Apropos, Miranda, and Delia are here ; the rest paid. £5O PLAT; 2d Class.—Dr. Sykes, Enchantress colt, Homily, Thessaly, Reel filly, Freckle, Berizina, and Vulcan. All are here. this calamity. The town councils of the towns met, and entered into personal subscriptions for their relief, and the boards of guardians have also held meetings, and taken such steps as the urgency of the case demanded. These steps ar© only prelitninuy to a general subscription on the part of the inhabifants, which it is expected will take place in the beginning of next week. The managers of the Theatre Royal, cud the performers, are about to give the use of the house and their services gratis, for a benefit to the unfortunate sufferers, on Tuesday evening next. It is understood that a great portion of the shops and worehouses destroyed were insured, and it is estimated that the - loss will fall heavily on the local insurance offices. The amount of property destroyed is estimated, in the lowest possible manner, at from 500,0001. to 1,000,000/. SUNDAY NIGHT.Six . bodies found in the ruins; all shockingly mangled. Throe died in infirmary. The fire is still smouldering in the ruins, the workmen being driven away by sulphuric fumes. No further deaths had occurred at the Infirmary during the night. The number of the sufferers there is 53. In the dead-house on the Quayside lies the body of Robert Laidlet, engineer, Gateshead, who was found in the hold of the brig Famellen, lying at Newcastle quay, having been blown entirely across pie river by the explo sion. He was found in the hold ii. the morning, a mass of mutilation. Three hats and two mechanics' caps were found in the same vessel—one of them marked " Joseph Richardson." Of the soldiers about 40 men in all received injury, prin cipally by the rubbish falling upon them. Fifteen of them wore dismissed from the hospital next , day; the remainder hive received . severe lacerated wounds. Two of the officers, Captain Hussey and Captain Whinfield, were dragged out of the rubbish by the heels, otherwise they would have perished. The officers say that but for the men stickingto each other in the way they did, a much greater destruction of life would have taken place. The following is a list of offices and other buildings re duced to ruin by the fire on the Quayside :—Messrs. Orm ston and Smith, stationers; Mr. James J. Scott, broker; Mr. A.

SPORTING NOTES. THE CESAREWITCH CHANCES. --- On Saturday Muscovite was again steadily reinstated in the position which he had two or three days before occupied in the betting with seeming uncertainty. The movement which caused his temporary retrogression is attributed to various causes, some of which may be traced to pre judice, some to honest dislike and conviction. The Newmarket touts seemingly do not complain that he has not done work enough, but that he has done too much, and among other defects he is described as beieg lame, and possessing the queerest of queer looks. To the faith with which their opinion was received may be attributed the show of hostility which the opponents of Muscovite made. The partisans of the horse however, evidently harden in confidence, and declare, without hesitation, that he'will "come in alone." Indeed, in the fulness of their faith, they assert that he has a "stone in hand." Old John Day's authority, too, confirms this belief, for it is said that " Honest John," in consideration of Muscovite's running with Virago for the Metropolitan, entertains a high opinion of the horse's racing ability. The opposition which is in certain quarters directed against Muscovite seems to be partly founded on prejudice; but although I cannot subscribe to the statement bot forth by the most sanguine of his adherents that no horse in Eng land can give him weight and a beating, yet I believe him to be an animal of much racing superiority. The comparative mediocre character of the horses likely to be arrayed against him affords a sufficient reason for placing trust in his pre tensions. He went a rattling gallop this morning, on the Lime Kilns, ' and his owner for a short distance rode alongside him, and seemed pleased with the horse's style of going. He made signals for the lad on Muscovite to pull up, after going a certain distance, but the lad either did not see them, or was unable to obey them, and Muscovite was upwards of 100 yards in advance of Scarecrow, who was galloping with him, when he was stopped. Some people, however, appear to regard this proceeding with suspicion; and declare, with a know ing look, that the desire to " show him off" was too patent. Rodomeli was tried yesterday with Poodle,- and some thing belonging to Mr. Mare. Poodle, it is said, gave Rodomeli 71bs, and was beaten without an effort. Now, Rodomeli ought to be capable of figuring among the loading competitors, if he possesses ability only slightly superior to that of an Epping Plater — lie, however, has yet displayed no raoing power, and in deed all manner of bad things are said of him. One person assorts that he cannot beat a man, another that he cannot go four miles an hour unless carried in a van, whilst York shire Jack scornfully declares that he could not win if ho were to start with only a " fourpenny bit and a railway , ticket tied 'to his tail?' The Newmarket people are evi dently disappointed in their expectations of Poodle, who was once warmly fancied by them. Lord Clifden has had a long run of ill-lack, and all persons would rejoice to see his colours triumphant on Tuesday, but this greatly-to-be desired consummation will not, I opine, be effected. By the way, Alembic is dead, a horse which, in the First Oc tober Meeting, seemed to be " running into form," and of whose chance for the Cambridgeshire sanguine expecta tions wore entertained. To account for the declension of Rattle in the betting is somewhat difficult. On Saturday he was quite friendless. Still it is reported that he was tried with certain horses belonging to J. M. Stanley, •Esq., and won in a canter ! The distance will, however, I believe, be beyond his ability to compass succesfully. The rumour which was circulated to the effect that Rattle had been purchased by Mr. J. M. Stanley, is, I am informed, unfounded. He belongs to Mr. Paul Dennett, and is under the care of that gentleman's private trainer, Roe. D. 0. looks well and goes well; and is much fancied by the " little men" of the ring. He is a small, cob-like, albeit a compact animal, with a long back. I must honestly confess that I entertain no great partiality for him. La Belle, on the contrary, has attractions for me, and despite her performances, I shall place some faith in her pretensions. Her party are in earnest with her, and when determined, Dawson is invariably " dangerous." La Belle was backed at the Corner on Saturday, for nearly 3001., at 12 to 1. Cobnut is slow, but is sure to run well ; Barrel is not in force; and with them go the hopes of their party. Scherz is lame. Of Indian Warrior, I can collect no trustworthy infor mation; but should he go fit and well to the post, I shall expect to see him run very forward. His usual ill-luck, however, may, after all, only bring him into the second place. Of the other old 'uns, Hungerford and Ethel wolf are, perhaps, most entitled to notice. Hunger ford was severely worked at the commencement of the season in "schooling" Middlesex and King Tom, and when brought out in public he appeared stale and used up. He has, however, had an interval of resti and has doubtless benefited by it. At Warwick he ran respec tably, and at York be showed an additional improvement in form. Bracken is talked about, but I fancy the weight will be too heavy for him. By the way, Kohinoor galloped this morning, and the report as to his breaking down is, I believe, incorrect. I shall not further occupy space by printing the uninteresting notes which I have made respecting the other animals likely to muster at the post. Before stating the conclusions at which I have arrived as to the probable result of the race, I will place before the reader a list of PROBABLE STARTERS FOR THE CESAREWITCH. Rataplan. Hungerford.

Having been appointed to the command of the province of Constantine in 1849, be rapidly overran that im mense territory, which had been disorganised by the revolt of the numerous tribes inhabiting it, re-established peace, and gained the good will and attachment of many chiefs whom no one had previously been able to subdue. The expedition which M. de Saint Arnaud undertook in 1851 against the Kabyles was one of the most glorious campaigns ever gained by the French army in Algeria. At the head of an army of little more than 6,000 men he overran the whole of that savage moun tainous region, in spite of the resistance made by its warlike tribes. INQUEST ON THE SUFFERERS. On Saturday forenoon Mr. Favell, coroner for North Durham opened an inquest on the b odies of the sufferers, in the Town Hall, Gateshead. The jury having returned from viewing such of the bodies as had not bean removed from the police station by permission of the coroner, The Coroner mid over the list of the dead : Robert Pattinson, aged 38, tanner, and town councillor. Charles Hamilton, aged 5:3, hairdresser. Cranmer Hastings Payntor, aged 19, ensign in her Majesty's 26th Regiment. John Stephenson, lance corporal ditto. Anthony Willis, aged 60, of Gateshead, skinner. Charles Duke, aged.l2; bricklayer's apprentice. Charles Duke, aged 45, father of the above. Francis Conway, aged 6, son of D. Conway, blacksmith, (killed in his own house by the roof filling). The above were mostly got out of the rubbish, and were apparently killed by the explosion. There are others missing, namely, Mr. Charles Bertram, a magistrate ; Mr. Wm. Davison, jun., miller; Mr. Henry Harrison, cooper, of Newcastle, besides a female and two firemen. Mr. Robert Sloan, sergeant in her Majesty's 26th Re,gi meat, and Mr. Robert Harrison Wilson, surgeon to the police force and to the board of guardians, having given evidence agreeing with our account of Saturday, the Coroner said he would adjourn the inquiry until Wednes day, and in the interval he would call in the assistance of an eminent chemist to assist the jury in owning to a con clusion with regard to the character of the-material in the warehouse at the time of the explosion. The inquest was then adjourned. Mr. H. G. Liddell, M.P., and other magistrates, with the town clerk of Gateshead, were presen t durin g the pro ceedings at the inquest. In 1851 M. de St. Arnaud returned to France, with the rank of heutenant-general. His energetic and deter mined character recommended him to the notice of Louis Napoleon, then President of the Republic, as one of the firmest supporters of his views ; and in the month of October, 1851, the future Emperor confided to him the confidential post of Minister of War. In 1852 ho was raised to the dignity of Marshal of France, and soon after to that of Senator, which was followed by his appointment to the post of Grand Ecuyer to the Emperor. Unfortunately, in the midst of so many marks of distinction, M. de St. Arnaud's health is such as to make his friends fear that he will not be able to continue at the bead of that important expedition to which he has been recently appointed. M. de Saint Arnaud has been twice married. By his first marriage he had one daughter (married to M. de Preysigur) and a son, who became a soldier, and was killed in one of those campaigns in Algeria where his father won so much renown. TEE NEWCASTLE CATASTROPHE.--In consequence of a communication from the Mayor and Corporation of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on behalf of the inhabitants, re questing the aid of a Government officer in an inquiry into the late fatal disaster in that town, the Secretary of State has directed Captain Ducane, of the Ordnance, to be present, and to assist in the proposed investiga tion. The storing of any large amount of gunpowder in an inhabited town is clearly against the law, and ex poses the transgressors to heavy penalties. However, in this case it may turn out that the distressing casually might have been caused by explosive materials not in a perfectly manufactured state. In the face of such 4n appalling calamity, however, the strictest investigation is considered necessary.—Observer. Muscovite. Rattle St. Clare. Candlewick. Poodle. D. 0. Barrel. Naomi. Gamelad. The Medal. Rodomeli. --- Without entering into an elaborate criticism of the com parative chances, I have limited my remarks to the rumours and opinions which generally obtain. I shall'now at once state my deliberate conviction that the race will result in favour of either MUSCOVITE OR LA BELLE. Should thes; animals be destined to defeat, and were the winner to be an outsider, the successful competitor may be either lIUNGERFORD OR THE INDIAN WARRIOR. Grmculus Esuriens is not likely to be brought out for the Clearwell, which will perhaps be placed to the winning account of Oulston. Some little disappointment, not un mingled with surprise, is expressed at the evident disin clination to show Gracculus Esuriens. Rumour, however, states that he will give the public a spice of his quality in the Houghton Meeting. Scythian will doubtless win the Royal Stakes. Mr. Morris has brought " the whip" to Newmarket, but he evidently entertains no thought of being com pelled. to deliver it up. Whether Stockwell will do battle against Kingston for it is not quite cer tain. Ho is, however, well and in good work. Should ho run, and meet with no mishap, I shall not be surprised to see him defeat Kingston. Stockwell is not now included in the catalogue of horses belonging to Lord Exeter advertised to be sold on Thursday, and the fears which wore excited of the retirement of that nobleman from the turf are, lam happy to say, not likely to be realised. The Bedford Stakes I assign to Para. The war and the latest intelligence from the Crimea are the only subjects talked about with any degree of interest and animation. They engross nearly all conversation. The only turf topic of importance is the publication of the state ments respecting tho charges against John Scott. Those statements have convinced many persons who were loud in their condemnation of John Scott that he is a man more sinned against than sinning. By the way, lam told that Mr. Morris is willing to match the Knight of St. George against Acrobat at the Leger weights and distance for 1,003. Newmarket, Oct. 8, 12 p.m. A FRESH MAN. DR.

THE REVENUE. ne i be m wil form,ade p an du will include,Teus Tuesday fornext, e will be s t time, e published pnb a a. The revenue accounts for the current quarter, which w tion of the revenue received from Ireland, in a table I.i -multaneously with the rest of the United Kingdom. This plan will give more complete information than has hitherto been the case. The quarterly returns will be made up to Tuesday night next, the 10th inst., as usual. The time is sufficiently near to enable the result to be anticipated with some approach to accuracy. We are able to state that the return, both for the year and the quarter, compared with the 10th October, 1853, will be most satisfactory. This will be more especially the case with the quarter, in which the total increase will• amount to something like 700,0001. to 800,0001. sterling. In the Customs returns for the quarter there will be a decrease, as might naturally have been ex pected, from many causes, amongst the most obvious of which are the still-continued reductions in so many items of Customs revenue, and the almost total absence of the duty upon the importation of grain, which, although placed at the nominal amount of is. a quarter, had in 1853 realised a considerable sum. The Excise for the quarter will show en increase of more than 300,0001., a great portion of which, no doubt, is to be set down to the increase in the malt tax, which will be still more apparent in the quarter upon which we are about to enter, which is the great malting period of the year. Both in Stamps and Taxes it is probable that there will be a decrease; but if so it will be to a very small extent. In the Property Tarthe additions rendered necessary by the requirements of the war are now beginning to be felt. The increase will be very considerable. But a result perhaps more satisfactory—because it is produced by the lowering instead of raising of imposts— will be found in the Post-office return, which will reach a considerable sum, comparatively, for the quarter, and for the year will fall little short of 300,0001. Although not to so large an' extent as on the quarter, the returns for the year will leave no ground for despon dency. In the Customs for the year there will be a decrease, as well as for the quarter, and for the same reasons as stated above. But it will be for a smaller amount, and not so severely felt. The Excise will be bettor for the year, as well as for the quarter ; though not perhaps to so palpable an extent. In Stamps and Taxes there will be a small decrease. In the case of the Stamps, the reductions and alterations of last session are no doubt felt. In the Property Tax there will be an increase in the year, as well as in the quarter, although perhaps not to so large- an amount. Upon the whole, there is every reason for congratula tion that the exactions of a most expensive struggle have neither diminished our resources, increased our national obligations, nor given us the smallest reason to distrust or doubt the buoyancy of our sound and honest financial system. —Observer. MINING INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Mining Journal of Saturday. ) MINES.—The improved, tone of the mining market, which we noticed a week or two since, still continues and a fair average amount of business has been transacted since our last. One or two discoveries and improvements haVe also thrown more life into the market ; and we an ticipated, ere long, still greater reaction from the state of depression which has so long weighed upon the market. Sortridge Consols have been largely dealt in, and the price has advanced from 45s to 655. In addition to the winze the lode is now becoming very rich in the bottom of the eastern shaft. The near proximity of this great course of ore to North Wheal Robert has caused a demand for shares ; the advance from 101. to 131., and 14/ ; and few shares are to be met with even at advanced rates. At the Trevelyan meeting it was resolved to work the mine more vigorously ; and a call of lOs per share was made. In North Crofty , a good business has been doing, at 71 109 ; Rosewarne, 501 to 601.

NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY.—Last night the inhabi tants of Basford, a village about th ree miles from Not tingham, were thrown into a. state of considerab le excitement by the report that th e b o dy of a man bad been found in the river Leen (which adjoins the village), with his throat cut. The deceased was identified as being a man named Emmley Pearson, who lived in the village, and was about 25 years of age. A labouring man named Thos. Cbarlesworth (who has been apprehended on suspicion of perpetrating the murder) resides at Surnmercoates, in Derbyshire. He is a married man, but owing, it is . said, to the rec kl ess con d uc t o f hi s w if e , they lived together very unhappily, the hu s b an d b e ing frequently worked up to the highest pitch of j ea l ous y. About five w ee k s ago th e woman l e f t her husband and came to resid e a t B as f or d, an d wh il e i n this village Cbarlesworth repeatedly wrote t o h er , begging her to return to her home. O c Su n d ay l ast t h e h us band came to Basford, and l a t e i n t h e evening of that day he met his wife and the d ecease d walking together near the village. Tire infuriated husband immediately attacked Pear son, fought with him for some time, and was see n struggling with him by a woman named Miles. From that period nothing was seen of either of the men until Friday afternoon, when Pearson was found in the river Leen, about 150 yards from the scene of the fight, with his throat cut, his head being nearly severed from his body. Information was immediately given to the police, who instituted a diligent search after Charles worth, who was aPPrehended this morning at the Old Park, Ashby-de la-Zouch, and was forthwith brought to the County-ball at Nottingham. He was then taken before the magis trates, and after a brief examination remanded. The prisoner denied cutting the throat of the deceased, and manifested the most perfect indifference. A coroner's inquest upon the body was held this after noon before Mr. Coroner Swann, at the Horse and Jockey, Basford, and adjourned to Monday. LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—The British and North Ame rican royal mail steam-ship Africa, Harrison comman der, sailed from this port this forenoon for New York, with the usual mails, 167 passengers, and a full cargo of merchandise on freight.

( From the Lifeboat, _or Journal of the National Ship wrecX; Listitution for October.) In the Lifeboat Journal, No. 11, we gave as one rea son for the discontinuance of the register of shipwrecks on the coasts of the United Kingdoni, which we had previously inserteel,• that a wreck register was being compiled a; the Admiralty, which would be annually presented to Parliament. That document for 1853 has now been published, which enables us to furnish our readers with a summary of -its contents. It is, as usual, a fearful list, numbering► 332 disasters ; but it is gratifying to observe, so far as loss of property is concerned, that the register for 1853 shows a very considerable decrease in the number of wrecksand casual ties, as compared with the preceding year, when 1,115 occurred. _ _ _ 'Tin tho gales of February, March, April, and Julr, 1353, the number.: exceeded those of the same months in 1852, and the month of May in each year produced the same amount ; but in all tin other months of 1853 the numbers fell much short of those in the correspond- ing months of the previous year. This may be accounted for by the fact that the gales of the winter months of 1853 were less frequent and of shorter duration, although they blew with occasional violence. On the other hand, however, the year 1853 records a loss of 989 lives, being 69 more than were lost in 1852, when the number, so far as is known, was 920. Tilie increased number in proportion to the number of wrecks was caused by the great sacrifice of life which occurred in two or three individual instances. Thus, the loss of the Annie Jane shows 360 alone, that of the Queen Victoria 83, and of the Dalhousie 59. There can be no doubt that these total numbers for each year show considerably less than the actual amount of loss of life which has occurred on and around our coast, as there are no means at command for ascer taining the number of those whose vessels sail out of port and are never again heard of. The lives of fishermen and other boatmen are undoubtedly also often lost without any official returns being made of the same. The Admiralty Register of TVrecks is compiled princi cipally from the Coastguard returns, from Lloyd's pub lished list, from the Shipping and Mercantile Uazette, and from the official reports of Lloyd's agents around the coast to the Admiralty. It is prepared by Com mander J. V. Read, R.N., and although imperfect, as any such register must be, there is no doubt that it is the most complete account of wrecks published. Annexed to the returns is a wreck chart, on which a black spit marks the site of each wreck, fire, or colli sion, as far as it can be ascertained. The following is a summary of the Register : The wreck.; on the coasts and in the seas of the United Kingdom, in the year 1853, were 832, which may be th us classed : Totally wrecked 369 Totally lost in collision Damaged seriously, and bad to discharge 386 Damaged seriously in collision The number of casualties in each month were : January, 100 ; February, 91 ; March, 52 ; April, 78 ; May. 41 ; June, 26 : July, 45 ; ...August, 33 ; Septem ber, 70 ; October, 96 ; November, 71 ; December, 123. Total, 832. Of these, 253 occurred on the east coast of Great Britain ; 76 on the south coast, and 130 on the west coast ; 81 wrecks took place on the coasts of Ireland ; 6 were cast on shore at Scilly ; 11 at the Channel Islands ; 3 at Orkney and Shetland ; and 12 at the Isle of Man ; the remaining 260 wrecks occurred in the sur rounding seas. The whole loss of lives during the year, as far as has been ascertained, amounts to 989. Of these, 18 went down with the Herald, which sunk off the Start, after collision with a schooner at night, ou the 15th of January ; 83 in the Queen Victoria steam-ship, which ran on the rocks near the Bailey Lighthouse, Dublin, at night, and sunk on the 15th of February ; 11 (the crews of two Lossiemouth fishily? boats) were lost on the 23d of February ; 11 in the barque Irene, upset in the Mersey on the 26th of February in a heavy gale ; 16 in the Duke of Suther land steam-ship, wrecked at the pierhead, Aberdeen, on the let of April ; 12 in the Richardson, which sunk near St. Bees Head on the 22d of April ; 12 in the Olive Branch, which sailed from Shields for London, on the 25th of April, and has not been heard of since ; 10 in the St. Tudno, which sailed from Newcastle on the 17th of May, and has not been heard of ; 360 in the Annie Jane, from Liverpool, bound to Montreal, wrecked on Isle Vateria, Hebrides, in a heavy gale, on the 2Sth of September ; 59 in the Dalhousie, which foundered off Beechy Head, on the night of the 19th of October ; 20 died on board the Isaac Wright, which was stranded on the Irish coast, and put back to Liverpool in distress on the 4th of October ; 15 in the California packet, from Sligo for New York, laden with iron, which foundered 160 miles west of Ireland, on the 4th of November ; 60 in the Marshall steam-ship, which foundered off the Humber, in oullision with the barque Waodtionse ' at night, on the 28th of November; 19 who were washed overboard from the E, Z. at sea, in distress, on passage. from Liverpool to New York, on the 6th of December ; 10 in the Caravene, wrecked near Black water Head, Wexford, in a heavy gale, on the 19th of December ; 18 in the Chatham, wrecked on the bar of Drogheda, in the night of the 19th of December ; and 9 in the Eva screw steam-vessel, which parted asunder and sunk cif Lambay Island on the 27th of December. The remainder were lost in smaller groups ; to which are to be added an un certain, though, without doubt, a large number drowned in missing ships. How many painful reflections is such a return calcu lated to awaken in every mind ? That 1,000 lives (which may be taken as a probable average) shbuld be thus, every year, prematurely cut off on our own coasts alone, is, indeed, a melancholy fact. There is no other calling of life than that of those whose " business is on the great waters" in which so constant and great a sacri fice ofjife takes place. When the scourge of war is raging, wo hear of larger numbers perishing together in a comparatively short time. We are, however, accustomed to look on war as a great but necessary evil, which the wisdom of a Di vine but benevolent Providence sees fit to inflict on his creatures at intervals of time, doubtless, to proinote the ultimate benefit of mankind, by the changes which, in the present imperfect condition of this unsettled world, can, perhaps, only by such means be brought about. We are accustomed to look on those who perish on the field of battle as men whose calling and duty it is to seek such an end when their country's good shall requre such a sacrifice ; and renown and glory have in all ages been held to accompany such a death ; all of which reasons contribute to make it a picture less gloomy and sad to look upon than that encountered in the daily avocation's of life, when the last struggle is with the elements alone, and the gurgling waters, as they close over their vie- .m, separat; bias for ever from all the tics of life. But, after all, the most painful part of the subject to our minds is the question which forces itself on us, — How much of the sacrifice of life and consequent human misery might have been prevented ? A sense of neglected opportunity is, probably, one of the most painful reflec tions which ever saddens the human breast, as, without doubt, it is one of the most alarming that ever arouses the long slumbering conscience at the last hour. But a nation collectively may be awakened to a sense of " ne glected opportunity" as well as an individual ; and, as with an individual, well it is if such takes place before it be too late—before the opportunity be taken away.

We were again heavily supplied with foreign stock, but its quality was very inferior. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were considerably on the increase, compared with Monday last. The general weight and condition of most kinds was very satisfactory.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,600 short horns ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 17 horned Scots. • We were rather heavily supplied with most breeds of sheep. Generally speaking, their condition was by no means first-rate. The inuttpii trade ruled dull, at a de cline in the currencies of 2d. per 81bs. We may observe, however, that a few very inf,,,rior old Downs realised last week's quotations. There was a fiiir sale forcalvos, the supply of which was but moderate, at Friday's advance of 2d per 81bs. The demand for pigs ruled steaJy, at extreme rates. The top figure was ss. per 81bs.
