It is a step in the right direction that a check has been nut on the dangerous and disgraceful practice of omnibus racing. For some time past considerable annoyance has been exper fa ie r- n s c i e g d ht b e y d the prevalence of this custom, and the have entertained serious apprehensions regarding their own and others safety; Still it is very hard work to make a sufficient number take up a case so strongly as to enforce attention to ito n the part of the authorities, more especially 'when it does not especially concern some one's immediate interests. The case that was brought forward in the Queen's Bench on Wednesday is one of the most painful character, and may well engage the sympathy, and awaken the indignation of all hearers. A young gentleman, full of life a n d energy, has fallen a vicam to the blameable con duct of these racing drivers. In 1862 he was travelling in the North, and was conveyed by omnibus from Buxton to Whaley Bridge, whence they ware to take the rail for Manchester. Most unfortunately for him a mail started almost at the same time, and the drivers commenced racing. Both drove very rapidly, and occasionally passed tech other. As may be expected from such reck less conduct, a very serious casualty occurred. As they approached an embankment, with a slope on one side, and a stone wall at the end, the vehicles were close together, and some one exclaimed to the driver to take care and avoid a collision. In the hurry of the moment he pulled sharply to the side, and the wheel of the omnibus went on to an uneven part of the embankment. The plaintiff was thrown next to the wall, and picked up insensible. There seems to have been some mismanagement in his moving about too soon, but at any rate the consequences now are that he is afflicted with a serious and " incurable injury to the brain and spine," and there is every probability that it will terminate in palsy and the entire loss of memory. Most truly did the learned counsel say that no money could compensate for such an accident, and that although in this instance the sufferer was re moved from want, still he would have been decidedly in a far better position had he been penniless, and had the prospect of a career before him, with good health, than to be as he now is, possessed of a competency with such suffering. The young man was able to appear himself, and appeared to be much afflicted. Various other statements were heard, all tending to confirm the sad story in all its particu lars. To add to the gross negligence of the case on the part of the driver, the omnibus was net ar The Committee of the Institution earnestly AP PEAL to the public for ASSISTANuE to enable 'hem to meet the con tinued heavy demands on the Society's 125 lifeb at estab hihments.

The police ought to be directed to take strenuous measures to prevent such a nuisance being continued. It is true that this accident to Mr. FRANKEL occurred out of town, but still there is every probability of its being repeated in a different form with the same results, when the 'act is considered that so many drivers will persis ,n entertaining themselves in this fashion. The very reprehensible custom that prevailed of " run ning" omnibuses of rival companies caused great confusion, and one man's life was sacrificed a shot time back in the excitement of the race. But people soon forget these fatal eNents, and it is only when a worse evil occurs that they pause and consider. Here is a young man doomed to a living death. For a few minutes carelessness he has to endure years of torture, and his life is wasted. If anything could impress the mind it must be a case of this class ; and, if any one can speak from experience of the . horrors that ensue from such recklessness, surely there has been a witness brought forward who ought to startle the careless, inform the ignorant, and convince the unbelieving, as fully and entirely as if he rose from the dead. It is well that 411 01 warnings should not be disregarded, and rnea atles adopted before the evil spreads.

In every year we lose round our English coasts, exclusive of losses in other parts of the world, between two a n d three thousand vessels, with a corresponding loss of life. So great and so constant is the number of these losses, that a Wreck Register has become a regular publication, chronicling year by year the lamentable increase in the loss of life and property by disasters at sea. It may be said that this is only a natural consequence of our immense naval traffic; but we are not contented with this explanation in other matters. Our railways, though more nume rous and more active than others, do not show any excess of casualti es over those of other less busy coantries. O ur hi gh ways, though more thronged than those of most cities, are not remarkable for the number of accidents; nay, when once fairly out at sea, our vessels are not more frequently lost than others. The dangers of our coast are undoubtedly naturally great. It is said that not less than one-third of the wrecks from rocks and shoals take place in our channels and on our coasts. This is a startling calculation even allow ing for the immense amount of traffic that passes to and fro. But have we done all in our power to modify these dangers ? Have we reduced the list of casualties to the limit inevitable from un controllable accidents. Those are the questions for naval authorities, and shipowners to put to themselves as they read the figures in this Regi ster. The stormy season is now fairly began. How many more preventible catastrophes will work its passage this year. How more vessels will perish for want of Harbours of Refuge, how many more ill found ships and their crews will be sacrificed to the cupidity of their owners. The moral is pointed by the fact, which we have se often referred to other occasions, that nearly half the wrecks of the year are those of colliers, and that when we come to the larger and better equipped vessels the ratio immediately decreases. Why should this state of things be suffered to continue ? Why are men allowed to go to sea year after year in utterly unseaworthy craft, without a fair supply of what may be termed the necessaries of safe navigation. It is no excuse to urge the natural danger and intricacy of our coasts and channels. That is only a reason fur our shipowners being especially careful that their vessels are well found and prepared for possible mischance. It is surely not too much to expect that such reasons should induce them to make a liberal provision for every possible want; that they shall send vessels to sea that are fit for the voyage, not miserable craft nearly a hundred years old ; that they should see to it that these vessels be properly supplied with cables, anchors, and grounding tackle ; that they should be sufficiently manned and commanded by sober men who know their business. If these precautions were attended to, the long list in the Wreck Regis ter would suddenly collapse, and leave the public to regret the lives that have been wasted in foregoing years. The system of insurance, excellent as it undoubtedly is, has, like every blessing, its attendant dangers, and the full compensation, sometimes more than compensation, readily attainable by the ship owner renders him too often indifferent to the loss of the ship and men. What is a human life more or less ? A great deal, doubtless, to the widow and orphan, but very little to him. Plenty more men can be found any day on the look-out for employ ment, plenty of equally reckless or needy com manders to take the same risk, perhaps, with their eyes ()Pen, perhaps unknowing of the danger from the ignorance which greatly adds to it. Mr. LAIRD s motion on this subject was withdrawn owing to pertinacious opposition, but the hon. mem ber promised to introduce another in the coming session, and we hope that he will keep his word, and that every man of sense, justice, and humanity in the House will support him. If it could be rendered compulsory that every vessel should carry sufficient boats to provide for the safety of her crew, another diminution would be made in the loss of life at all events. Wha countless tragedies have been played out on the wide seas for want of a few boats? What -sad stories are told of emigrant ships carrying hundreds of passengers going down in the deep waters, and struggling, shrieking, praying for the boats? . But nothing it seems will make us learn the lesson. It was only the other day that the Admiralty begun ,rying to provide lifeboats for our men-of-war, and we suppose that a good many more losses at sea will be necessary before the simple rule is observed that every ship shall carry enough efficient boats to - give all who sail in her at least a chance of life This change would extend its influence beyond our own coasts, for it would save many lives far away from our rocks and channels. Fer provision against their dangers the best security is to be found in the proper equipment of the ships themselves, in the raore liberal lighting of our coasts, and in the provision of harbours of refuge. All these matters should be seen to without delay. It is no theoreti cal evil or temporary reform that is wanted, but a real, pressing, urgent need of changes and improve- ments that shall save money and life, and redeem the coasts of the first naval nation in the world from bearing the unenviable repute of being the most fatal to the mariner, from preventible causes. M. Ronan's Duplex shunter is thus ably and eloquently defined by M. Laseerre :—" There are two men is M. Ronan, the Seminarist, and the—no matter what we name it —second self. On. the one side, a Christian imagination; on the other, an atheist's heart. When he recounts the life of the Son of Man,' he interrogates his imagination, heretofore sheltered beneath the shadow of the Altars, and under the refreshment of the grand trees of S. Sulpice, and he finds exquisite refinement, and oftentimes a remarkable perception of the Beautiful and the Good. When, on the other hand, he wishes to draw conclusions, and to reason, he listens to his own heart, and says, There is no God.' Fearful contrast I . .

It is not quite in vain that he has heretofore worn the white surplice of the Levite; if he has lost faith, he has not quite rid himself of mysticism and feeling, He is an atheistic religionist, or rather, a mystic atheist."

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (Morning), (By Telegraph to Halifax.) On the night of the 24th inst. Bragg evacuated Lookout Mountain, moving south. Hooker occu pied Lookout, and was expected to intercept the Confederates in the vicinity of Rossville, and in the region east of it. At the same time Sherman assaulted the north-east of Missionary Ridge, and was repulsed with heavy loss. But being reinforced he renewed the assault, and reached within 20 yards of the summit, but was flanked and compelled to retire to his reserves. The Confederates then massed heavily on Sher man's right, but Grant started two columns, which broke the Confederate centre and gained possession of theßidge,the Confederate main force being driven northward towards Sherman, who opened upon them, driving them disordered down the western slope of Missionary Ridge and across the western ridge of the Chickamauga. General Hooker now holds Lookout on the right, Palmer and Granger hold the centre, between Lookout and Missionary Ridge, and Sherman holds the left with his right on Missionary Ridge and his left on Chickamauga Creek. The Federals estimate their captures at 10,000 prisoners and 40 guns. Their loss is small. It is supposed that Grant will pursue Bragg, or if unable to do so, will send a force against Long• street, who has invested Knoxville with batteries,his rifle pits being close to the Federal - works. Bragg reports as follows on the 23d:— We hold all the roads leading into Knoxsville, except the one between Holsten and French Broad River, and Jones's cavalry might close that. The Federal cavalry is almost broken up. Wheeler has cut off their train between Cumberland Gap and Knoxsville. The Richmond Dispatch of the 24th says :. "'There are rumours of a Confederate occupation of Knoxaville, but nothing official to this effect has transpired. " Two thousand Federals have passed through Rodgersville, and five regiments through Jacks borougb, en route for Kentucky. " General Meade is mud-bound.

The arrangements are now completed for :bringing off this exciting event in the course of the ensuing week; but -as to the day, time, and place of starting, &c., all that can be said is, that every one must be in London on Tuesday, Dec. 8, at the very latest who wishes to be present. The entire conduct of the affair has been left in the hands of a great conveyancing firm, who have stipulated that to them must be entrusted the selection of a day, a time, an hour, and distance from the metropolis; and this being agreed to they assure us that they have every confidence that they will bring off the battle without let or hind ' ranee. The difficulty as to the "roughs,'' too, seems from the admirable arrangements that have been made to be entirely obviated. A sufficient force has been secured, exclusive of the ring constables, to ensure protection to gentlemen ticket holders at the point of depar ture ; and as the tariff is arranged by the company at £3e 3s. (the inner ring will be 10s. additional), and not a single per son, not excepting even the men and their backers and seconds, will be conveyed free, there is every hope that the company will be very select. As to the belligerents both aro well up to the mark. Heenan will be a trifle bigger than when ho fought Sayers, and to all appearance is a far stronger man than on that occasion. King, too, is somewhat bigger than heretofore, but it is doubtful whether he will much exceed 13 stone, while the Beni c ia B o y wi ll b e near 1 4 stone. Heenan is still the favourite, but anything over 5 to 4 is freely taken by the Kingites. Neither man will come to town till the last minute.

Barlow, R.N.), during a strong westerly wind, a large vessel was seen aground on the Mad Wharf Sandbank, near Formby. The coxswain and crew of the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at this place at once proceeded to Ainsdale, where the boat had been left on the pi evious evening. The lifeboat was then transported three miles further along the coast, and launched to the assistance of the distressed sailors. On arriving alongside the vessel it was found that the cap tain had cut away the foremast, and was in the act of cut ting the mainmast away. Eight of the vessel's crew im mediately jumped into the lifeboat, but the remainder were prevented from doing so by their captain. As there was great danger of the mainmast being cut away and falling on the liteboat, she was compelled to cast off and make for the shore, where she safely landed the eight men. The Formby lifeboat was afterwards seen making for the wreck, which had again hoisted signals of distress. She succeeded in taking off the remainder of the shipwrecked crew. The vessel proved to be the American ship David White Clinton, of New York, bound to Liverpool. The coxswain of the lifeboat stated that the captain of the ship was very drunk on the occasion. The Southport lifeboat was also launched yesterday to the assistance of the schooner Virago, of Glasgow, which had grounded on the Trunk Hill Sandbank, some miles from this place. It was blowing a perfect hurricane at the time. The lifeboat was conveyed along the shore abreast of the vessel, and launched through a tremendous surf. When within a hundred yards of the distressed vessel seve ral of the oars were broken like so many matches, and the lifeboat was therefore compelled to return to the shore with out accomplishing her humane mission. The vessel after wards drove over the sandbank and.grounded on the main laud, and the crew were fortunately enabled to reach the shore. The Formby lifeboat had also attempted to put off yes terday to the assistance of a barque, lout had failed to reach her. The vessel's crew, however, landed at low water in safety. SWANSEA, Friday Night. The gale continued here with unabated force, and the lifeboat of the National Institution has been of good service in rescuing the crew of eight men of the barque Duke of Northumberland, laden with copper ore, which was on shore at the entrance of our harbour, and which the life boat had remained alongside of for some time,with the view of saving the crew, if required. The crew of a Coastguard boat also exerted themselves gallantly in rescuing the crew of an oyster boat, which had been overtaken by the sudden squall. SKEERIES, Dec, 3. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution on this station has this day rendered an important service in saving several pool: fellows and their craft from destruction. In the fury of the gale a lugger'S crew were observed to have signals of distress flying. The' lifeboat was instantly launched, and notwithstanding the utmost efforts of the chief officer of Coastguard and crew, it took them nearly an hour, in face of the gale and high sea, to fetch the vessel. She was the lugger Vigilant, of the Isle of Man, and was rapidly becoming unmanageable. The lifeboat put four hands on board to assist the crew, who were quite ex hausted. The lugger was after wards got under weigh and subsequently brought safely into port. In the absence of the lifeboat the poor men must have perished. CARNARVON, Friday Night. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at Llandwyn, near this place, rescued yesterday during a hurri cane, four men from the schooner Maria, of Amlwch, from London to that port. The wreck bad got on a sandbank in Carnarvon Bay. This morning the gale continued, and the schooner Henry Russell, from Glasgow to Marseilles, was seen in Carnarvon Bay with a signal of distress flying. The same valuable lifeboat was at once launched to her assistance. Some of the lifeboat's crew and a pilot boarded the vessel, her own crew being nearly exhausted. They afterwards succeeded in bringing the vessel into Carnarvon. BAnmounr, Friday Night. Last night, about eleven o'clock, a signal of distress was seen off this place. It was blowing at the time a strong gale from the N. W,, with a heavy sea on, The lifeboat of the National Institution at this place was imix.ediately manned by 12 brave fellows, who rowed without faltering in the direction of the signal light of distress, which had by this time been extinguished by the violence of the surf. On nearing the sandbank a vessel was observed thereon. She proved to be the schooner Margaret and Jane of Dublin, in ballast. The crew of five men were immediately taken on board the lifeboat, and afterwards safely landed. The boat behaved admirably on the occasion. PORTMADOC, Friday Night. The lifeboat of the National Institution at this place went out this day during a heavy gale of wind, and put five bands on board a vessel in distress called the Economy o Portmadoc. She had lost all her saile, The vessel was afterwards brought safely to anchor off Cirencester. PENARTII, Friday Night. During a heavy gale of wind yesterday, the ship Jupiter and barque Eliings came in collision in Penarth roads, with signals of distress flying. The lifeboat of the National Life boat Institution put off immediately, and remained along side until the ve&els cleared. The crew of the Jupiter a; once jumped into the liteboat on her going alongside, but they were afterwards persuaded to rejoin their vessel. The presence of the lifeboat gave them confidence. The boat remained by the vessel about two hours. PALLING, NORFOLK, Friday Night. It has been blowing here a latavy gale from N.W. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was made ready for service, her crew having assembled with the view of putting off to a bark, stranded on the Hasbro' sand bank, but seeing the Bacton lifeboat of the Institution pulling oft to the wreck, the Palling lifeboat was not launched. WALMER, Friday Night. Captain Cannon, KN., reports :—" Yesterday afternoon, during a heavy gale of wind, signals of distress were heard from the Gull Stream Light vessel, indicating a vessel in distress. At the same time a vessel was observed dragging her anchors and driving towards the Goodwin Sands. The coxswain of the lifeboat of the National Institution at this place immediately mustered his crew and launched the boat. When near the Vessel, the crew were observed in their long boat, making for a,Kingslown lugger, which was near the vessel, but unable to go alongside. The coxswain of the lifeboat thought he heard cries proceeding from the vessel, and managed to hook on to her, but found no one on board but a poor dog, from which the cries had proceeded. Thu lifeboat then made sail, and after having been afloat eleven hours, arrived here. The crew were quite exhausted and almost perished with cold. The vessel proved to be the galiot Cornelia, of Hanover. Her crew of four men were sately landed at Kin gsdow'n by the lugger Dauntless of that place. LYTHAM, LANCASHIRE, Friday Night. A message arrived here soon after daylight this morning from Southshore, a distance of 6 miles along the coast, with intelligence that a vessel was sunk off that place, and that the gale was so violent, and the sea so heavy, that none of their boats, being only ordinary open boats, could with safety approach to her, and requested that the Lytham lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution might be sent. The request was promptly attended to, and the lifeboat pro ceeded at once to the scene of the wreck. On arriving , however, at the sunken vessel, none of her crow could be found, and they had doubtless all been washed overboard, and had perished during the frightful storm of the previous night. The vessel is supposed to be the John, of i Liver pool, as a small board with that inscrip tion upon t has cowf ashore in the vicinity of the wreck. ----------_---__ --- _______ We have reason to believe that Sir George Clerk will be appointed to the seat in the Indian Council vacßte‘' by the appointment of Sir John Lawrence to the Vice royalty of India.

Yesterday (reports Mr. W. Cubitt, the Hon. Secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution) we were visited with a terrific gale of wind from the N.W., accompanied by a very heavy surf on shore. A vessel was observed passing the coast with loss of canvass and unmanageable, and about 1 p.m. she went on shore about a mile to the southward of Haisboro' Lower Lighthouse. The Bacton lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was launched to theassistance of the shipwrecked crew, and bore away to the wreck, which was five miles distant. On nearing the vessel they found that the Palling and Haisboro' Coast-guardsmen were firing rockets over her to effect a communication, but, owing to the fury of the storm, they could not succeed in their endeavours. In the meantime the lire boat rapidly approached tha spot, and anchored within 50 fathoms of her. She then dropped down under the vessel's stern, and after much difficulty, got alongside to leeward, and succeeded in rescuing the master, the pilot, and 12 ,of the crew. The mato, who was under the in fluence of liquor, seemed bent upon his own destruction, and could not be induced to leave the ship, although we kept the boat alongside until the mainmast threatened to fall on us. The wretched man was repeatedly urged to come into the boat, but withotft avail. We were then forced to slip the cable ol the lifeboat, and afterwards reached the shore all safe, but thoroughly drenched. The vessel proved to be the barque Ina, of North Shields, bound to Carthagena, with coals and coke. This is the first heavy gale that , the lifeboat has been out under canvass, amidst the surf, and she behaved so well that the crew are de lighted with her. At nine p.m., there was still a fearful sea on, and not a vestige of the vessel was to be seen, as she had gone to pieces. Had the lifeboat been one hour later on reaching the wreck, the probability is that every soul on board must have perished. , d i ffnal 414" - NER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE. Dec. 4.

The late Mr. Nutt, the Eminent Bookseller, Mr. Nutt was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, which, however, he left at an early age, on a vacancy occurring in the counting-house of a large mercantile firm in the City. Here he re mained for several years, working his way up front junior clerk to a position of much responsibility , during which time he acquired those business habits which secured his success in after life, when h° embarked in the bookselling trade on his own ac count. Mr. Moberly, the senior partner of the firm, introduced Mr. Nutt to the late Mr. Asher, the emi nent bibliographer, and founder of the house of Asher and Co., of Berlin, who had just found it requisite to quit St. Petersburg for political reasons, and who, having a large stock of valuable books, required an agent in London for its disposal. At first Mr. :Nutt occupied only his spare time, chiefly of an evening, in distributing catalogues end attending to orders received; and during that period many works of great rarity passed through. his agency into our national collection in the Bri tish Museum, and into the libraries at Oxford and at Cambridge, besides others which found their way into those of Lord Spencer, Mr. Gress' ville, and other well-known book collectors. Soon, however, it became necessary that he should either give up his clerkship or his agency.
