The client will be hailed with satisfaction by all Englishmen. The affair bas been satisfactorily settled with all parties concerned. Nothing would have been decided by the trial but some remote point of law 04 the construction of an obscure act of parliament, passed for the correction of a temporary evil in a past age. The public now know the terms of settlement. This they would not have known but for the mis placed zeal of the Solicitor•Geeeral. Before his ele vation to his present high office this gentleman had the honour to be the counsel of the American mini ster. Of course he reeigned this post on taking office under the Crown ; but his mind is still tinged with a lingering fondness for his lormer friends, and on Thursday last, without instructions, with• oat consultation with his colleagues, without due consideration of the existing agreement contained in a written correspondence, he wandered into the Court of Exchequer, and there, apropos to nothing, informed the Court that the case of the " rams" would not be tried. Now, this in formation might have been with equal pro priety conveyed to the Chief Baton in private, and probably would have been so conveyed by the At torney General.

Marriage of the Count de Paris, reward in you the peace, the harmony, and the gentle and simple submission of the living posterity of St. Louis around their august mother, and when they reflect that other pledges assure to you the abundant favour of Heaven. It is to this place that your relatives, the heirs of the faith of St. Louis, have come to seek the special blessing reserved by our Heavenly Father to the love of parents on the day of the first communion of their children. It is in this place that He sees around you hearts bound by that true fraternal affection which would not be separated amidst the dangers of the sea or the dangers of war. To-day this affection, ever ancestral and ever young, seeks a new consecration in the graces of a sacrament, and you ask them in a sanctuary dedicated to St. Raphael—the archangel who was sent to crown filial piety and innocence in the joy of a holy mar riage which was to recompense so many good works—to soothe so many sorrows, to gladden the eyes that had been tried, and to prolong by its happiness an old age already so venerable. May the like graces be granted to you in the same fulness through a long course of years by our blessed Lord who,at the intercession of his imm aculateMother,ble ssed the marriage feast of Cana, and may He preserve to you her who tells you by her exemple and by her counsels that the happiness of families and the glory of Princes are found in the imitation of St, Louis and of St. Ferdinand." Yesterday Louis Philippe Albert d'Orleans, Count de Paris, the eldest hope of the Orleans family, was married to his first cousin, the Princess Isabelle of Spain, in the presence of a most illustrious company, including not only English nobility and foreign Ambassadors, but many of the representatives of the old historic names of France who still adhere in loyalty and hope to the fallen fortunes of the Orleans dynasty. The marriage was celebrated in the pretty little Roman Catholic chapel at Kingston, where the Duo de Chartres was married last year, and where many members of the late Royal family of France usually attend the service of their faith. The interesting event caused no little excitement all around Kingston, Claremont, and Esher. In these places the members of the late Royal family are well known and sincerely beloved. Throughout all England, indeed, there is a warm feeling of kindliness for these illustrious exiles, whom political adversity has driven to seek a shelter among us. Their quiet, unostentatious dignity, the natural good breeding which leads them to live our every-day life, has not been without its effect on the nation among whom these Princes are carefully rearing the inheritors of their great name. In their position popu larity, as popularity, can neither be sought nor avoided. It is simply by the exhibition of their private virtues that they have attained less perhaps of popularity in the common sense of the term than the earnest good feeling, the sincere respect and esteem of all classes of the community. But it is, of course, a warmer and deeper sentiment than this which prevails around their homes, There they are indi vidually known—the quiet, simple, elegance of their lives, thc good nature which has led them to accommodate them selves to the English taste for hunting and shooting, and, above all, the munificent liberality which they extend to all the charities of the neighbourhood, have won the hearts of those among whom they dwell. France itself does not contain more ultra- Orleanist villages than those around Claremont, where the good deeds of the exiled family are daily seen or heard of, and where there are few who have not personal knowledge of some kindness done or gracious act of courtesy extended. As was to be expected, then, the marriage at Kingston yesterday was made a gala day for all the country round. The little church is not capable of accommodating very many. Certainly, if it were twice the size it would not have held all who were anxious to be present on this solemn oc casion, It was, however, so arranged that it could contain those who were invited to the wedding —some hundred or more illustrious guests ; but this was all. The less dis tinguished spectators—made up pretty equally with regard to numbers of French ladies and gentlemen, and ladies and gentlemen of the surrounding neighbourhood —were accom modated under a long, handsome portico awning, draped with crimson, which had been erected for the occasion, and , which led from the carriage road into the porch of the little church. Every part of this portico was early thronged, so that there was scarcely room even for the beautifully dressed children who were placed on either side with baskets of flowers to strew under the feet of the young bride and bridegroom. oa fn idtsso a s tarchitecture.o c T or h r e e s cphlonanpdelw fronti within hs of de w ft the heesai altar very tpalre prettily were buter e etfw e oe t pi d vr e ei c e o d. rated,detieauilxs THE WELLINGTON THREE SHILLING DINNER, consisting of Soup, Fish, Made Dish, Joint, Sweet, &c., is served daily from 3 to 9 p.m , and on Sundays from 5 to 8.30 p.m. Private Rooms for large or small parties.

The service then proceeded according to the ritual of the Roman Catholic Church, a ritual which is almost entirely word for word with that of the Church of England. When that part of the service came at which the Bishop asked the Prince," Louis Philippe Albert D'Orleans, voulez-vous prendre Marie Isabelle Francoise d' Assise Antonia Louise Fernande, ici presente, pour votre ldgitime spouse ?" &c., the Prince turned and gravely bowed to the Queen-Mother for the consent, which was given to him with a kindly smile and bow before he turned and answered" Je le veux." In de same manner the Princess turned to receive the ap probation of her parents and of the Queen- Mother also before she, too, answered in the affirmative clearly and distinctly. When these all-important answers were given, loudly, so that all could hear, when, according to Roman Catholic custom, the bridegroom had given the bride the gold and silver coin, typical of the worldly goods with which he endowed her, the ceremony was finished with a blessing, and the new Prince and Princess d'Orleans re tired to the sacristy to sign the register. It was witnessed by the Duke de Montpensier, the Duke de Chartres, and the Spanish Minister only. On their return to the chapel Bishop Grant celebrated low mass, which occupied but a short time, and when the benediction was given Prince Louis and the Princess Isa belle d'Orleans returned down the chapel and entered their carriage amid such cheering, and firing of cannon, and ringing of bells as has seldom before disturbed the quiet town at Kingston. After the Queen-Mother, with the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier and the leading members of the family, had departed every one made haste to Claremont. But it was no easy matter to get there, for the pretty lanes around the church were blocked with carriages, and more with crowds of cheering ladies and gentlemen, and just as the company emerged they caught a glimpse of a Royal carriage, with outriders, in which were the Prince and Princess of Wales, with the Prince and Princess of Hesse, turning off by another road and driving in hot haste to congratulate the youthful bride and bridegroom. The Prince and Princess of Orleans went by what may be called the river road to Claremont, and thither all the guests followed them, Every where it was one long welcome throughout the route, which was not only thronged with people, but covered with more substantial mark of favour in the shape of triumphal arches, flags, banners, and little groves of newly-planted firs sur rounded with wild flowers and streaming with pennons. some of these arches, especially that near Esher, bore ample evidence that as much money as taste had been expended on their erection and design. Almost instantly after the return of the bridal party to Claremont• the Prince and Princess of Wales, with the Prince and Princess of Hesse, arrived, and most earnestly congratulated the bride and bridegroom. They were followed by the Princess Mary of Cambridge and the Mike, who had driven down to wish happiness to the fair young couple. As soon as the bridal party had assembled on their return the chief of the guests proceeded to a magnificently draped marquee, which had been erected in rear of the mansion, where a dTjeuner had been laid for 100 visitors. This repast lasted till 3 o'clock, during which time the park was crowded with visitors, and bands were playing and guns firing in all directions. Soon after 3 the bride and bridegroom left " The Crown did not Went to COBBETT and CO., General House Furnishers, Deptford bridge. London.

The country will see in this ari.angement that there has been no yielding on either side. The legal proceedings would have been barren of any 'useful result. The vessels might have lain for years en cumbering the useful water space of the Mersey—a floating record of the folly and timidity of a British officer ; the feelings of different sections of the public would have become exasperated; the public money would have been squandered. All this has been avoided by the exercise of calm judgment. The Crown will pay a fair price for the ships, and Par liament may now proceed to consider the expedig ency of passing a fresh act, couched in intelligible language. The result of this last week's proceedings will, however, teach Government one important lesson, that the legal officers of the Crown should be selected from amongst the independent members of the bar, and that, however vast the genius, pure the character, or extensive the legal acquire ments of a gentleman may be, it is not expedient to appoint to a high office under the Crown the advo cate of a foreign Government, merely be cause he happens to bean unflinching supporter of his own political party.—Liverpool Albion.

Chamonix, for the matchless beauty of the mountain scenery with which it is surrounded, has for many years past rendered it a favourite rendezvous for tourists from all parts of the world, and it is estimated that an ave rage of 12,000 to 15,000 persons annually visit this spot, the latter number having been exceeded last year, notwithstand ing the absence of American visitors, who, on the subsidence of the war, would considerably augment these numbers. 'rasing as a basis that each visitor remains only three days, this gives a total of 45,000; and calculating an average expenditure of 15s. per day for each person, 'icluding wines, a gross receipt of £33,750 would be produced, from which a net income of £lO,OOO per annum may fairly be computed. The Directors, therefore, confide otly anticipate that a dividend will be declared at the end of the present year, of not less than 15 per cent., leav ng a large surplus to be carried over to a reserve fund. The four principal Hotels have not been built more than four or five years, whilst the remainder have been erected 'about ten year.., and have since been entirely renovated. They contain together ample accommodation for over 5)0 persons. By the amalgamation of the Hotels embraced in this un dertaking, competition, hitherto entailing large sacrifices on the proprietors of each establishment, will cease, the several Hotels being opened nly as the influx of visitors renders it necessary. The supply of provisions will thus be strictly regulated by the consumption, and all general expenses of management become proportionate to the number 01 vis tors. The gratuities to guides, through whom cust,m was for merly securei, forming an annual burthen of some £3,000 on the management expenses of the hotels, will also be entirely economised, and increase the profits to that amount. The annexation of Savoy to France has materially changed the present position and future prospects of Cha monix, which, connected with the rest of France by an Im perial route, now in course of construction, will participate in the rapid career of improvement and prosperity which, under its present ruler, is changing the face of the whole en p , re. The attractions of Chamonix have, moreover, been recently auzmented by the discovery that the waters of this valley possess mineral properties of the lii4hest value. The sul phurous waters are identical with those of St. Gervais, whilst, topographically, Chamonix is more favourably situated, and the ferruginous springs are similar to those of Bpa. As a place for Hydropathic treatment, it will be equalled by no other in Europe, since it is supplied by the waters of the Avre and the Avignon, which are of the uniform tem perature required for this system, and the organisation of an establishment for this purpose will be intrusted to the skill and expertience of Dr. Ritterbandt. Mr. Ferdinand Eisenkramer, proprietor of three of the principal Hotels, has entered into arrangements to under take the management of all the Company's Hotels. It is, besides, proposed to provide suitable establish-men on a scale to meet all future demands, and thera is little doubt that Chamonix will add to its fame, as a fashionable resort for tourists, that of bein r one of the first Bathing and ydrop ethic Establishments in the world.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The " London and Venezuela Bank" has for its proposed operations a ground unoccupied. and is most urgently re quired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for Fora- months, and the project has been sub flitted to the judgment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and has met with their unvalified approval. Support is promised in highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured that the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by the Government. The banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto pos sessed have been very limited, but the fast that the Bank of Caracas, which will now merge into this establishment, has -despite its restricted means—earned a net profit exceed ing 30 percent. per annum, leaves no doubt that the present undertaking will result in complete success. The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co., while inviting tenders for the Venezuelan Loan in June last, will confirm the above statements : " At presenitgre . fs - iirlosiliTi entire absence of banking accommodation in Venezuela. Possessed of every advantage of climate and soil, within sixteen days' sail of England, the existing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com merce of the country. and to the increasing production and rapidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, hides, &c. The advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all, and as the rates of interest range from to to 15 per cent. per annum, the profits may be expected to be considerable." It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in creased and increasing demand for cap , tal for the cultivation of cotton, which is now being exported to England in large quantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much higher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson. The want of an Exchange Bank in Venezuela orasions the utmost inconvenience in buying and selling foreign bills ; this Bank will supply the want, and as returns can be made with far greater r ipidity from Venezuela than from India, where banking facilities of a like nature have been found extremely profitable, it is certain this branch must be still more remunerative. The principal control of the London and Venezuela Bank will be vested in the Board of Directors in England. They will select a manager of known qualifications, who, on his arrival, wi I have he assistance and advice of the Directors , n Caracas and La Guayra, who are Europeans of high standing in the country, and well known in corneation with Venezuelan trade and finance.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of pur chasing and carrying on the important and well-known busi ness of Engineers, Ironfounders, and Manufacturers of Agricultural Machinery , and Implements, s hich having been established nearly half a century, has been conducted for the last thirty years by Messrs. Barrett, Exall, and Andrewes. While these gentlemen will realise by this transaction the accumulated profits of many years, they will yet remain large ch .reho der , and continue to give their active co-operation in conducting the future burin, as of the company. The demand for machinery at home and abroad being so ext-naive, capital to an extent can be profitably employed in its production, snd the recent transfer of so many of the first-class engineering firms in the country to companies formed under the Act of 1862, among whom may be named Messrs. Fairbairn and Co., and Slessrs. Sharp, Stewart,and Co., of Manchester, Messrs. John Brown and Co., and Messrs. Cam mell and Co., of Sheffield, Messrs. Slaughter, Gruning, and Co., of Bristol, &c., is at once proof of the advantageous cha racter et the princip,e of association.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has published as a pamphlet his r ecent speech on t h e Bill f or the Extension of th e S uffrage, with the following preface "In this speech will be found the expression of an opinion that the Le gislature should exclude from the franchise on two grounds only. First it should are p resuma bly in themselves unfitted to exercise it W en h t i s ch con ' ta.ins them. . s ha w i th illd intelligence ex exclude l u de th 0 saen with i i t n h t eg rity.

I cannot make any other reply than to publish it, as it was delivered, together with its context, and to leave it, subject equitable allow on ly to eq ance for faults of hasty to the discer n i n g expression , consideration of the reader. ~ Another objection I could more readily have conceived—naniely this, that a proposition, appa rently of wide scope, is reduced by large and scarcely definable exceptins within rather narrow limits. Still, the e xceptions appeared along with the proposition, and formed part of it. " If, indeed, / sin asked whether it w as a deli berate and studitd announcement, .1 reply that it was not; it was drawn forth on the moment by a i course of argument from the opponents of the mea sure, which appeared to assume that the present limitations of the franchise, disavowed as they have been by such a n accumulation of authority, re quired no defence from their newly-risen advo cates, and were to be accepted without inquiry, as in themselves, a t least presumptively, good and normal. But lam a ware that this circumstance, if the opinion be blameable, will afford no apology. "Further, I spoke with reference to the present, or rather, indeed, with a view to retrieving arrears of the past, and neither time nor, as I think, reason permitted me to attempt the solution of problems of real intricacy which belong wholly to the future, and which are little likely to become practical except for another generation. "If I regret the ma nner in which my declaration has been interpreted, it is chiefly because of its ten dency to produce in other quarters an exaggerated estimate, likely, when brought down to the dimen sions of fact, to cause disappointment. " The question is whether the statement be a gra tuitous and startling novelty, or whether it is rather the practical revival of a strain which, five years ago, was usual and familiar; which had then de rived abundant countenance from the very highest organs of political articulation, and which now only sounds strange because within that period it has fallen into desuetude. "As the opinion of an individual, the whole mat ter is of trifling consequence. But the consistency of parties and of Parliaments is a subject of weight and moment, for upon this depends that store of public confidence which is of such inexorable neces sity and of such inestimable value for the mainten• nee of our free and happy Government." for - the royal bride and bridegroom ; immediately behind them two chairs of state, one fur the mother of the young bride, Marie Louise Fernande, Duchess de Montpensier, and sister of the Queen of Spain ; the other seat for the venerable Marie Amelie, the last Queen of the French, who was that day to leave her habitual seclusion and sanctify by her presence the union of her grandchildren. The ceremony was fixed to take place at half-past ten, and of course, therefore, much before that time those hon oured with invitations to the chapel began to take their places. Among others were the Spanish Minister and Madame Comyn, the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, the Italian Minister, the Austrian Ambassador and Madame Apponyi, the Prussian Ambassador and the Countess Bernstorff, the Bavarian Minister, the Portuguese Minister and the Countess Lavradio, the Saxon Minister, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, the Earl and Countess Russell, Prince Ferdinand of Coburg, Prince Philip of Wurtemberg, the Princess Amelia de Coburg, the Prince Auguste de Saxe-Coburg, Lord and Lady Stan• ley of Alderley, General and Lady Alice Peel, Lord Hough ton, Lord and Lady Foley, arl St. Germans, the Baron Marochetti, Lady Waldegrave, &e. With these guests were mingled members of the French and Spanish aristo cracy. There were the Duc ile Penthievre, Mademoiselle Ni...rprio. de ch.n0,2,1110., Madame Roblin and the Princess de Mercedes, Colonel Vilarde, M. Fauvel, M. Hebert, M. de la Tour, the Comte de Montesquiou, Madame de Lisboa, Comtesse de Coeffier, Marquise de Cela, M, Cajijos, Madame Nallejo, Colonel Sauchez, Mademoi selle Bernard, Marquis do Moscoros, Madame de Parquet, Mademoiselle D'lvry, and many others. Most of the guests had taken their places before any of the immediate members of the late Royal family had ar rived, and before they came Dr. Grant, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Southwark, wearing his episcopal robes and mitre, moved down to the church porch to receive them. Dr. Grant was attended by the Rev. Mr. Danell, his Vicar- General, and the Rev, Canon lioldstock, M. l'Abbe Vasseur bore the mitre, and the Rev. Pierre Mailly, Chanoine d'Arras, carried the crozier. At the ceremony itself the Bishop was assisted by the Rev. rAbbe Toursel, French chaplain, and l'Abbe *Tuella, chaplain to the Queen Amelie, Soon after the arrival of the Bishop at the poroh Gaston d'Orleans, Count d'Eu, and Philippe d'Orleans, Duo d'Alencon, the sons of the Duc de Nemours, arrived with their sisters the Princesses Marguerite and Blanche, and at once taok their places near the altar. They were followed soon after by the Prince de Cond6, son of the Due d'Aumale, and the Princess Christine, the sister of the bride, —for there were no bridesmaids on the occasion. The Prince and Princess de Joinville with theDuc de Nemours and the Duc d'Aumale followed almost directly, the Duchess d'Aumale being prevented by indisposition from being pre sent. And now the little church was quite full and glowed on all sides with the rich colours of the ladies' dresses. It was easy by costume alone to distinguish between the Eng lish and the foreign guests. The French and Spanish noble men were all in evening dress, while our countrymen, on the contrary, followed the custom usual here at such cere , monies, and wore plain morning costume. Nor was the difference much less marked with the fair portions of the assemblage—the French ladies generally wearing massive silks and costly shawls, while those of England were attired in those beautiful airy, gossamer-like toilettes of the lightest possible fabrio and colour, which to our notion are more suited than mere richness to such occasions. Just after half-past 10 loud cheering was heard without, and there was a long pause of expectation, which was broken at last as, leaning on the arm of a tall, fair young man, a venerable lady came slowly up the church, and all rose and bowed low as they recognised in the aged and feeble Queen the careworn features of Marie Am - elie, the widow of Louis Philippe. There was a feeling of emotion almost amount- ' ing to awe with which this queenly relic of a bygone age and time, this living witness and actor amid events for which we of this generation have to read history was regarded. The young man who supported her tenderly as she advanced up the church, bowing with queenly self-possession to the reverences of those around, was the bridegroom, her grandson, the Count de Paris. Though 26 years of age he looks two or more years yOunger, which is perhaps owing to his fair complexion and light flaxen hair. Cer tainly he would be counted fair even among Englishmen, and his light moustache and open large blue eyes remind one more of our own Royal family than the Prince of the House of Orleans. Almost immediately following came the bride. She was clad in pure white, a soft airy dress resem bling a bloom of white flowers, while the massive lace veil which was over her bridal wreath was turned back from her face and hung like a train behind. She moved with a simple dignity that was inexpressibly charming, and her fine delicate features at once reminded the spectator of the profile of the Princess of Wales. It may have been that the same manner of wearing the hair suggested this fanci ful idea of the strong resemblance, but the impression at least seemed general, in spite of the young bride's dark hair, Spanish eyes, and pale, delicate complexion, such as is sometimes, though rarely, seen among the blondes of Southern France. The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier followed the bride, with the Duke and Duchess de Chartres. Immedi ately on arriving at the altar, the Prince and Princess oc cupied the prie dieux, with the Queen-Mother sitting be hind her grandson, and the Duke and Duchess de Mont pensier sitting behind their daughter. Before commencing the service, Bishop Grant, amid deep silence, addressed the Prince and Princess, in French, in a speech, of which the following is a literal translation : "In blessing the solemn obligations which are about to unite you at the foot of this altar, I cannot but dwell in thought upon the many reasons which render this alliance an event so happy for religion, for your exalted family, and for yourselves. But I feel that I. am expressing your own sentiments when 1 say you have admired in the history of St. Louis how affectionately the pious and prudent Blanche of Castile chose as the spouse of her son a young Princess, who was attached to him, and who was worthy of him by her birth, her talents, and her piety, You have sought the same advantages in the alliance which you ask God to consecrate in the presence of witnesses who are dear and many, and you hope to perpetrate in yourselves the example which you have learnt from such noble models by giving to the world the spectacle of the same piety and of the other Christian virtues. The representatives of tilt most illustrious Courts of the earth, the faithful friends who surround you, come to unite their cordial wishes to the powerful prayers of the holy protectors whom you have in Heaven, and whose names, venerated in the Church, you bear. Well may they trust that their hopes will be ful filled, when they think how many petitions are offered that Qod may be pleased to shower blessings upon you, and may Railway andPnblic Companies in Parliament. Yesterday in the committee on Metropolican Railways the opposition on behalf of the East an 3 West India Dock Company was further proceeded with, Mr Hickson, their secretary, being examined at considerable length by Mr Round. The Dock Company object to the introduction of the proposed extension line across their waterways by swing bridges as calculated to interfere with the naviga tion and the shipping, although on the other hand the railway would furnish them with increased faci lities for the transmission of traffic. The committee have been over the ground, so as to be ocularly and practically satisfied on the subject before coming to a decision. In Mr Baillie's committee on the com peting Irish railways the case on behalf of the Great Southern and Western and Midland of Ireland was concluded. Mr Hope Scott, Q.C., then addressed the committee for the Dublin Trunk Con. fleeting Railway for a principal line of five miles from the Great Southern and Western at King's.bridge Terminus, passing under and over the the Liffey and the Royal Canal to the Dublin and Kingstown near Sandymount, with six small lines and junction curves, forming a railway belt round Dublin. The required capital is £250,000 in shares, and £85,000 loan. The proposed line near its com mencement will cross the Liffey by a bridge of 8 arches, and 4 miles further will be carried by a tun nel under the river seaward of the eutrance to the Grand Canal Docks at Ringsend. It is opposed by the corporation of the port of Dublin.

My Lords,—l beg to report, for the information of your lordships, that I have, in conjunction with Captain Harris and Baker, as Nautical Assessors, inquired into the circumstances attending the loss of the brig Florist, on the Long Bank, off Wexford, on the morning of the 9th instant. The Florist was a brig of 264 tons, built at Sunderland in 1851, owned by Messrs Gardiner and Hughes of this port, commanded by Mr. Angus Wilkinson, who holds a certificate of competency as master, granted in 1854, and manned by a crew of 10 hands. She left. Liver pool at noon cnilie 7th inst., - laden with 275 tons of coals and 400 bags of bread, and was bound to Nassau. She passed Holyhead about 6in the eveno ing of the Bth instant. The wind was from S.E., fresh breeze during the day. The course steered down the Channel was S.W. and by S. The weather is stated to have been thick, and no lights were seen. At 8 in the morning of the 9th she struck heavily on the Long Bank, and after having let go her anchor, from which she parted, she drove over into deep water. Finding the ship afloat in six fathoms the master ordered sail to be made upon the port tack, and after standing to the S.W. for sometime the ves sel was tacked to the eastward, and shortly afterwards again struck upon the south end of the same bank, and became a total wreck. It appeared from the evidence of a Wexford pilot that about 6 o'clock on that morning he left the harbour on a cruise with two pilots. On arriving at the Dagger Bank he saw the Florist, bearing S.E., at a distance of five miles, and apparently standing in to danger, as the flood tide was running to the northward, and she was in close proximity to the Long Beak. He steamed towards her, but before he reached the vessel he observed that her sails were clewed up, and that she must have struck. By the time he reached her she had floated off, and was inshore of the bank in pilotage water. On hailing her he offered to tow her out of danger for the sum of £2OO, which the master deemed an exorbitant de mand, and refused to accept. A further offer was made subsequently, and before she struck a second time, to take her in tow for £lOO, but this was also s d e e l c f li g n e e t d h , ears out th o the master atehteardiimffiaogoilntyed, I that he here eldn notice imoe that these services were tendered in the character of a salvor, and that the master was kept entirely in ignorance of the important fact, that the offars pro ceeded from a vessel containing several licensed pilots, for five additional pilots had been picked up outside, the usual distinguishing flag denoting a pilot vessel not having been hoisted. This seems to me to have been Et very grave omission, for it can scarcely be doubted that had the master been aware of the fact that the tug was a pilot vessel he would gladly have availed himself of their local knowledge. At the same time, though in estimating the penalty which should attach to the master for the Joao of hie vessel, this circumstance must certainly be taken into consideration, it d oe s not exone rate him ; for had he taken the ordinary prea cauticn of using the lead, which in thick weather never hare found himself in the posi such as he had was an incumbent d t u ie ty n , w he hi w oh ould led taken since 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. on t he 8t to the catastrophe ; but no cast o f the lead am bound,adhadbee default. Taking all the p a e a c d ts l , a w ok h i i a c g h s a h t therefore, to hold him in other o t w h : conduct of the master i n circumstances into considerhaetriornes,e that he was attentive to his duty, I think that the suspension of his certificate for six calendar months will meet the merits of the case, and I have accord ingly, with the concurrence of my assessors, imposed u pon him that penalty. — l have, &c., T.
