Time—Any evening since Christmas. The shadows of night were coming down swift, And the dazzling snow lay drift on drift, As thro' "the Square" a figure did go, Carrying a flag with this motto, Yellow ho ! • O'er a forehead pale came copious hair, His nose retrousse, complexion fair; O'er his tightish eye all auburn lash ; His chin was close shaven, and no moustache. Yellow ho He stealthily looked "the Square all round," To ECC if " a peeler" was there to be found. •At the big gas lamp he made a stop, As if he meant placing the flag on the top. Yellow ho As upwards he clambered,' he thence did see A number of families sitting at tea ; lie eyed the dishes and plates very keen, To see if his " Yellow" was there to be seen. ' Yellow hp ! " Oh! don't go up," said an old woman, " stop It's freezing 'like blazes' up there on t top, You'll tumble off on t'other side;" But the spectacled stranger loud replied— ..... " Yellow ho !" Oh! please don't go up such a shocking night; Come sleep on my box, said a cabbie bright ; On his pallid cheek a tear-drop come, But still he remarked, as he upward clomb, Yellow ho ! Look out for the branch of that high cross-tree, Dodge falling ice if any you see. With that "the Party" went home to bed, And a Einglar voice replied overhead, Yellow ho ! At a quarter-past six that same afternoon, An astronomer, taking a look at the moon, Heard spoken above him, as often as twice, • The very same words, in a very weak voice, Yellow ho When " the peeler" came round at a quarter past seven, He was slow in "his beat," the road being uneven, Found the stranger dead in the drifted snow, Still clutching the flag with this motto—. Yellow ho l Yes! lifeless, defunct, without any doubt, The "lamp of his being" decidedly out; On the dreary flagstones " poor Kelly" was lying, And 'twas no more use for him to be saying— Yellow Butter ho I RESURGAM AU ye who lament that poor Kelly is lost, Just call at the ":Butter Place !"--look at his ghost He sits us the window, and looks safe and sound, And will sell you some " Yellow " at Bd. the pound. • Yellow Butter ho !

It is some source of acOYtsotation, under these circurnstAnCeS, that the,Proprietor has per sonally no reason to regret the efforts he has unsparingly made to render this sheet a success ful and popular medium of advertising, as well as a faithful dail record of the latest news. Vieiving the matter as a commercial undertaking, it is no small gratification for him to be able to reflect that, under the present management, the revenue of the paper has been nearly doubled. The Daily Times has, under the present man agement, been steadily improving, and advancing towards a degree of prosperity which would soon, it is believed, place it second to none in the kingdom. The Proprietor is now more confi dent than• ever that enterprising perseverance in the course which he has'hitherto followed is alone necessary to achieve that coveted position. There is no obstacle that would, for one moment, have deterred the Proprietor from following up his past success except that above stated. Had he been enabled to bestow upon the Daily Times that continued attention and assiduous labour which are essential to the conduct of an undertaking of such importance, nothing could have afforded him more pleasure, or have been more akin to his incli nation, than to have continued his exertions to render that Journal in every respect worthy of its position as the oldest provincial Daily Paper. Since the unavoidable resolution of the Pro prietor to dispose of this property was made known, many tenders have been made for the pur chase of the Copyright and Plant of the Paper; and it is still possible that an arrangement may be made for a suitable transference. The Pro prietor meanwhile feels it due to the friends and supporters of the paper to announce that the publication will be discontinued at the end of the present month, unless some change of proprietor ship shall have been previously effected; and he therefore thinks it proper to intimate that, should the paper be discontinued, all subscribers and advertisers who have paid in advance will be waited upon without delay, and receive whatever sum may be due to them. Those indebted to the Daily pines will also please to cause their accounts to be settled at their earliest convenience. HIGH WATER, THIS DAY, AT LIVERPOOL. Hour. Height. Moit.NING llh. Bm. EVENING llh. 34th. "'" paik butts. SATURDAY, JANUARY, 26, 1861. NEWS • OF THE DAY. The New York and Philadelphia Company's steamer Kangaroo, from New York on the 12th instant, and which touched at Queenstown on Thursday, arrived in the river yesterday morning, bringing the following later intelligence from New York :—The Star of the West had returned to New York with troops, and with her bows damaged by a shot. The South Carolina Secre taries of State and of War had visited Fort Sumter under a flag of truce, but nothing had transpired. Senator Seward made a grand con ciliatory speech on the 12th instant, in which he said mutual recrimination and congressional compromises are not likely to save the Union, the constitution of the United States and the law made in reference thereto are supreme. The laws of the land are paramount to all state legislation ; the Union can only be dissolved by the voluntary consent of the people of the United States in the manner prescribed by the Constitution. The Congress ought, if it can, to redress any real grievance of the offended States, and should then supply the President with the means necessary to maintain the authority of the Union. Mr. Seward proceeded to point out the numerous advantages of the Union, while a dissolution, he said, will be perpetual civil war. He concluded by saying that when the angry excitement had subsided, and calmness had re sumed its sway, and not till then, would he advise that a convention of the people be assembled to consider what amendments in the organic national law ought to be made. We have given extracts from the leading articles of two o the principal New York jour nals, in reference to the present state of affiiirs, and how it ought to be dealt with. A Foreign-office telegram from China was received yesterday, but the only fact of import ance which it adds to the information contained in that which we published yesterday through Mr. Reuter's agency, is the circumstance of a British steamer having ascended the Canton waters with perfect safety. The Daily News of yesterday has an exceed ingly severe article upon Sir Charles Wood, whose course of policy towards India it condemns in the strongest terms. The writer says that in the most important matter ever submitted to his judgment—the organisation of the army—Sir Charles Wood not only contradicted himself, but he ignored the opinion of every officer of emi nence in the Indian service, thereby increasing the spirit of discontent already too prevalent in the Indian military branch of the service, and spreading corresponding alarm among the most far-seeing of the Indian statesmen. The right honourable gentleman is also complained of for not having, long ere this, settled some defi nite plan for the permanent military occupa tion of the country, which still further adds to the perplexity of the situation ; and lastly he is most severely but most justly blamed for his last act in presenting, against the remonstrance of the Governor General, and it is said, without consulting his council, £500,000 sterling, being half the estimated amount of the odious income-tax, to a wealthy descendant of one of the most violent and troublesome enemies of the British Crown. It is quite clear from this and other indications that Sir Charles Wood will soon have to make way for a successor, and the sooner that change takes place the better for India. occupation in home; With a division of Vied raontese: General Lamoriciere has .deelined to receive the sVcor`d of honour, which Was proposed to be presented to on the ground that such an honour would be Mit of place, his services to the Papal cause not having been attended with success, but with failure.

At the London Court of Bankruptcy, yesterday, Mr. Linklater concluded his address on behalf of Messrs.

Another LiVerpool case of an extraordinary character was brought before the Court of Pros bate and Divorce on Thursday, being a suit to set aside a marriage on the ground of fraud. The petitioner was Margaret Lee Bevan, daughter of a medical gentleman of this town ) and the respon dent, James M'Alahou, an omnibu • i conductor, also of this place. After a few intervr , vs, a mar riage between the parties was solemnised by license, on the conditions stipulated for by Miss Bevan, that it was to be kept secret by the bride groom, and he was not to claim her as his wife for two years. The ceremony having been performed the parties separated at the church door and never lived together. It was proved that certain false statements had been made at the application for a license, and for this reason it was argued that the marriage was null and void. The lady her self, it appeared, had conceived a strong aversion to M'Mahon very shortly after the marriage, and refused to reside with him ) or rather she seems never to have intended to do so. Sir C. Cress- Well considered the case so novel and important that it was advisable to have it argued on the other side, and ordered an adjournment for that purpose. It is said that the difficulties which beset the volunteer movement have just received a formi dable accession. An order has just issued from the War-office, declaring that in futtre all rifles shall be kept, at the armoury, be taken thence before drill, and deposited there immediately after drill. A discretion is, indeed, given to command ing officers, with regard to the rifles used by electives living in situations Which would make the application of the rule in their case especially nppressive or inoonvenient ; but frequent returns are required with regard to the cases in which this discretion is exercised, and it is evident that the object is so to limit and restrain it as to make the instances of exemption exceedingly rare. The pretext for this mischievous order is probably the frequent misuse or neglect of rifles kept at home t but the obvious remedy for this is greater strin gency in enforcing the regulation which makes captains of companies personally responsible for the proper use of the arms issued to their men. AMERICA. THE CRISIS. By the Kangaroo, which arrived in the river yesterday morning, we have files of the New York journals down to the 12th, inclusive. The leading features of the news were presented in our telegraphic columns, yesterday, The follow ing observations on the present state of affairs are taken from two New York papers, which take opposite views of the way in which it should be dealt with by the Federal Government. (From New York Perald of January 12.) THE PRESSURE OF THE REVOLUTION—THE TIME TO SAVE THE UNION NOW OR NEVER. Whether the Union can be saved even now is doubt ful ; but if not now, never. Its speedy dissolution is at band, or a complete recognition of the guarantee of the constitution, which is its only bond. Such is the alter native which cannot longer be evaded by human in genuity. Not only is revolution pending, but it is ac% tually begun, and making such progress as nO revolution ever made before. In six States the federal forts have been seized by the State authorities. In one hostile guns have been directed against the United States flag, and a ship with its troops on beard, driven back by cannon balls. This attitude of South Carolina has the sympathy, and will have the support, of the vast majority of the Southern people. Two or three States have already seceded. Several others will be out of the confederacy in a very few days, and the whole South will be cut off before the 4th of March, and banded together in a Southern Union, or in a position to be confederated very soon. Yet, in the face of these alarming developments, what are the republican party doing to arrest the triumphant march of revolution ?! Nothing whatever, hut, on the contrary, everything to stimulate it. Mr. Lin coln and the leaders are too busy in dividing the spoils beforehand to pay much attention to passing events. Mr. Trumbull, in Congress, supposed to speak the sentiments of the President elect, dismisses the question of revolution with the ludicrous remark that "The secession movement of South Carolina is, in his judgment, nothing "—an observation which elicited laughter, but which was more a cause for tears. If the question were merely one about the forts, or the property of the federal government within the limits of South Carolina it might be very easily settled. But it is of far broader dimensions, embracing the separation of fifteen States from the national confederacy ; and whether they have a legal and constitutional right to take the step or not is immaterial to the issue preci pitated upon the country. What is the cause of this calamitous condition of affairs ? The adoption by the republican party of the Chicago platform, and a stern refusal to abandon the ground that party have taken. The man who does not see that the maintenance of the Chicago platform will result in the dissolution of the Union, must be blind to all the signs of the times. Whether or not, it will also result in civil war, depends upon whether the North, or a majority in Congress, will insist on coercing the seceding States. The Union is now practically dissolved, and unless the Chicago platform is aban doned, no power on earth can re-unite the severed fragments. Instead of doing this, the republican journals, including the Tribune, are urging preparations for war. And so much exercised is our philosopher lest, by any possibility, a satisfactory compromise should be carried in Congress, and the impending danger banging over us like a black thunder-cloud should be dissipated, he urges upon all the fanatics throughout the country to petition Congress against a peaceable settlement of the national troubles. The other party is founded upon principles which abolish the constitution of the United States. The sum and substance of the Chicago platform is that every man, black as well as white, ought to be and must be free in every part of the Union; that negro servitude is incompatible with the free labour of white men, and both kinds of civilisation cannot exist under the same government ; and every negro in the United States is entitled to freedom by a law higher than the constitution. Here, then, is a revolutionary party by its own confession. Out of its own revolution, menacing the whole country from Maine to Texas with civil war. The Chicago platform, and the party standing upon the rotton struc ture, must, therefore, be demolished altogether. Better that a thousand platforms and a thousand parties should perish in succession than that the temple of liberty erected by Washington and Madison and Jef ferson and Hamilton, and the other architects of the confederacy, should be laid in ruins, and American eiti tens wage a bloody; fratricidal war against each other — the end of which no man can foresee. Time was when Greeley "spat upon the platform," and supported the election of the man, though that man was a Botithetd 3614601(1er. He now spits upon the man who created the platform, while he hugs the plat form itself, as a drunken man does a lamp-post. Greeley and his party must abandon the platform, or they will go down with it to political perdition: The whole North must go back to the principles of the constitution, as they were understood by those who framed•the instrument, and by their contemporaries, for Whom it A.M.§ Made: The North has broken the cotenaiitt acid that is the sift of *hill it is guilty, and which is bringing national calamity tilion us, . The Verb. tan 'clergy hate been wonderfully zealoas in denouncing negro servitude as the greatest of all sins, which is no sin at all, but a beneficent Christian institution; while they are silent about the crime of "covenant break ing," which is accursed of God and man. The breach must be repaired, and the South must get what is nominated in the bond. It asks nothing more, and will not be totitetit with less: According to the con stitution; it is the duty of all the States, if there were rio ftigitite slate law of Congress, to surrender runaway slates to their masters on demand, and the slaveholder has a right Id travel ateiyiiheit throtighout this Union with his slates; and eyed td adjourit with them un- Molested in the ei4Y of Beston; lie has a right to enter the common territory With his slaves to settle; an his pror;eit'y hi their labour, recognised in the constitution according to the decision df the Supreme Co4rt, •ivhteli is thn Stipititte iaw of the hindi is eiiti.tletd to the tii a jrotection as ady other property. These rights were never questioned in the early days of the confederacy. It is only in recent years they have been denied. Their denial now is plunging the country into revolution, and it may be into a fruitless civil war, which could have no other effect than ruining the whole country, North and South. And yet all this is against the will of the people of the North. Nine.tetiths of them *mild tote to-morrow for the propositions of Mt. dritt6tidetL if they hdd an Uppertulaity ; bdt the politicians who 40e the bontrol of their political orgdttigatiOn will hot afford it to thein: The republican party in o:ingress Will deft do it; and all . tope of te4On6iliation semis losti ifiiddid the lapse Of the tleit week irietisdres df compromise are riot initiated by the republican members, any overtures to save the Union will,be too late, and its doom, we fear, will be eternally sealed. (From the . New York Enquirer, of Jan. 12.) CALL TO ARMS. The first shot has been fired by the rebels of South Carolina; the appeal to arms has been made; the assault has actually taken place; did in all human probability, blood hai been spilt. But be this as it may, the flag of the "Union has been Instated and oat raged by a nest of reckless and pestiferous traitors ; and nothing now remains big to punish the rebels, and to tindidate the laWs and the constitution. The treason of South Carolina has never found many sympathisers at the north; but there did 'elist A large class *he were apolOgists for mit& of hei bad Conduct; and Who insisted that the iiotth, must hold forth the Olive Branch; But there is no such clads to be found now. There are now no sympathisers With rebels and revolution—no party spirit even, which aims to put its antagonists in the wrong. The North as one man, is roused to action, and demands the punishment of the traitors. The friends of compromise are obli terated and merged in friends of justice and defenders of the Union ; and those who but recently were willing to concede everything in the way of compromise, now refuse to recognise the word. And woe to the Northern men Who preach eMilpronlise Until the rebels of South Carolina are punished for their treason. The die is cast, and traitors everywhere, must be dealt with as traitors ; and the very idea of compromise, must of necessity, be abandoned, until such time as this most unjustifiable rebellion is put down, and the pro perty of the nation recaptured. If Mr. Buchanan had not been in league with the traitors, but had evinced a commendable degree of patriotism and self espect—if he had not 'egrecd to leave the forts aad arsenals at the South, ih a defehdeless position, in Order that the traitor's might seize them—or if; even aft'e'r his PaiticipatiOn in their treason, he had refased to 'degrade anddisgracetbe Presi dency by receiving the traitors, but instead, had arrested them for treason against the Government—the Rebellion would never have reached its present dimensions or extended into the adjoining States. One word in the spirit of the Constitution in his Annual Message—the slightest evidence that he porcee.eil the srnalleet particle of the patriotism and firmness of Jackson, whose conduct in 1833 we have frequently heard him extol as being wise and patriotic —any intimation that, instead of aiding and abetting treason, he was resolved to put down rebellion and punish traitors; tvolild for ever have eitingttished the gasoonade of South Carolina and the rebellion of the South. Barking dogs do not bite ; and it never was the intention of South Carolina to rush into civil war. Bullying is the com mon resort of the Southern gascon ; and they hoped to bully the whole North just as they had bullied the childish old imbecile, at the head of the Government; and one word from the Executive indicating that peace able accession was impossible, would have settled the whole matter. At all events, the arrest of Iverson and Wigfall when they made their treasonable speeches weeks ago, and the arrest of Toombs and Davis for smaller offences, although it would not have saved the &its and arsenals in South Carolina, would have prevented the seizure of other forts and arsenals. Men who are traitors without cause ) in nine cases out of ten, are cowards also ; and it was only necessary to prove to these men that there was a halter in store for them, to have arrested the spread of the rebellion, and confined it to South Carolina. Could anything have been stronger than the case of the traitors who not only participated in the open and avowed treason of Carolina, but dared present themselves at Washington and before the President as Commis sioners from the rebels ! They acknowledged and boasted of their treason ; and glorifying in it, demanded to treat with our Government ! Cobb, Floyd, and Buchanan have actually succeeded in placing a dozen of our forts and Ar senals, and the major part of all our monitions of war, in the haiids of the tkaitoirs and rebels who are in open rebellion against the Government. And the future historian will be compelled to admit that the treason of 1860 exceeds any thing known to the earlier history of the country ; and the names of Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr will gradually sink into oblivion, and be known only to the scholar and the historian, !because in future treason will be described by other names—be represented and embodied by more successful traitors. But the past cannot be remedied. The present and the future are to be dealt w ith . And thank God, the madness ) folly ) and treason of the Rebels, have crushed out all party spirit and left the whole ddniitry banded together as one man determined to put down Rebellion and punish Traitors. The blustering, bullying gas conade of the Chivalry, is now to be met by the staid courage and quiet patriotism of the North. Our fathers never boasted of what they could accomplish; but by their acts, demonstrated their fear less devotion to principles of courage to endure and to achieve. And so with their sons. They love their country and its institutions; and when they say this, it is equivalent to making proclamation, that when necessary, all party considerations tease to exist l and that their lives and fortunes, are at the disposal of their country. Patriotism with them is an inheritance ; love for the Constitution and the Union is a part and parcel of their natures, imbibed with the nourishment drawn from their mothers' breast; animal courage is imparted to a v t e m in o s s , p a h n e d re by th t e h y e r h e r c e o a l t l h ec e t . ion A s of nd th w e h them alike by the bl oo d w hi c h conies through their e n h d the ap e very e p r l y e p en ast su a rouse themseltes to the duty of preserving and perpetu ating an inheritance, won by the blood of their sires in a seven years' struggle with the greatest power of the earth, let no man doubt the result. Mr. Lincoln, like General Jackson, says that the Union must and shall be preserved, come what may. To this the peo ple respond amen. And as certain as we write, so certain is it, that - the Union is in no danger. Civil war exists; and traitors and rebels are to be put down and punished. But it will not be a work of time, nor will it necessarily inVolve much expenditure of blood of treasure. The recapture of the public property is a necessity. And as the arsenals of Charleston and Sa vannah have been taken by the rebels, the occupancy and possible destruction of those cities in their recap ture, may become inevitable. But beyond this, no ag gressive act by the General Government, will be neces sary. We shall collect the revenue everywhere, and satisfied with this, can and will, quietly let things take their course. We have never yet seen the hour in which we apprehended danger to the Union ; and least of all, can there be danger from men who are so palpably in the wrong, as are the gasconading and bullying rebels of the Cotton States. gtt dont Build.

The chaplain made an earnest prayer—such an appeal for support, encourage ment, and mercy, as one would make who felt that " Man's extremity is God's opportunity." As the ear nest, solemn words of the speaker ceased, and the men responded "Amen" with a fervency that, perhaps, they had never before experienced, Major Anderson drew the "stdt spangled banner" up to the top of the staff, the band broke out with the hatinnal air of "Hail Columbia," and loud and exultant cheers, repeated again and again, were given by the officers, soldiers, and workmerii "El" said the narrator, " South Carolina had at that moment attacked the fort, there would have been no hesitation upon the part of any man within it about defending that flag." AMUSEMENTS. THE THEATRE ROYAL. Miss M'ainty, the pretty and popular little Columbine at this theatre, took her benefit last night, and had a very good house. MR. GEORGE WESTON'S BENEFIT. On Friday evening ;text, Mr. G. Weston, the well known box bookkeeper, will take his benefit, when we hope to find the public crowding to do justice to one of their most deserving servants. The programme for the evening will be "All that Glitters is not Gold," in which Mr. W. J.

FATHER KEMP'g T-4..FOLRs' CONCERT TROUPE. • Various opinions have been expressed as t-f ) of this troupe, but none differ on the, fact of the origina• lily of the performance. The last two evening the programme underwent a change, which, in our opinion, was judicious.

MR. S. C. HALL ON THE AUTHORS OF THE AGE. It is otib of the most universal principles of human stature that Men ahotild feel interested in those who have contributed to their iiisti 4 iCtion or amusement. Admiration, or that other sentiment of tiib ifid to which it is so near akin, and into which it sometimes rtieigec; veneration itself, is almost invariably associated,with an irrepressible desire to know more and more of the objects which engross its attention and excite its operation. This is curiosity; and in proportion to the real or imaginary pleasures which aecouipttuy the contemplation of any action or idea *ill be the ahiotint ititertst felt !37 the Mind ,td heaotiie acquainted with every circuti- Stine° attending the oiigiii dfid deielprintent tif that with which it sympathises. The acid 4i lid the cunning of his art can for the moment carry us out of the narrow circle in which we move, to depict the workings of some passion of the mind, and make what is but fiction seem reality excites onr admiration and our interest. But here the effect will hp but transient, for the cause is gone. Much more intense and lasting is the impression excited by those whose fame is not but for a.. moment, but at all time ; whose works remain as monuments of genius ill the admiration of all ages. Learned men have spent lifetinies in an almost fruitless attempt to furnish a biography of our world-rendvified Slialibgpeare ; and the few incidents we have are read In many cases much interest as the works of the poet themselves. Happily for the reading public of future generations, we have changed all that. Now-a-days if one happens to light on an article apparently more than usually brilliant, we are not left long in the dark as to who is the author, or what the amount of his remuneration. These "gossips" are promptly and conscientiously supplied by "Our London Correspondent," whose diligence' is as undoubted as his veracity is unimpeachable. (Infallible scribblers !) When the information we seek is supplied by those whose position is of itself ample warranty for the bond fide character of their assertions, a double interest is felt, Of all such individuals, none rank higher in the social and intellectual world, than Mr. S. C. Hall, and were not therefore surprised to witness the large and brilliant audience which assembled at the Royal Institu tion last night to hear his lecture upon "The Authors of the Age." To the lecture itself we could not do justice in the limited space at our disposal. As a resume of the literature of the nineteenth century, it was pro bably one of the most fascinating and interesting dis courses eter listened to in this town. There was the story of those master minds told again • with a fervid and sweet simplicity which could not fail to impress. Mr. Hall's early reminiscences date far, very far back — probably before many of his audience knew what it was to tail in the race of life; yet ,they were told with a vividness and earnestness which made them fresh as youth itself. Of the more popular authors, his photo graphs of Theodore Hook and Thomas Hood were perhaps the most keenly appreciated, because they were the, best. But where all was so excellent, so true, so life-like, so fervent, so admirable, it were a ; puny dis tinction to call them the best. The audience 'was throughout enthusiastic, sometimes indeed spellbound, for Mr. Hall narrates with a graphicness of imagery and exquisite beauty which never fails to leave an echo in .the heart. Mr. H. C. Beloe occupied the chair, At the termination of the lecture a vote of thanks was, on the motion of Mr. Spence, passed by acclamation to the much esteemed lecturer. • LIST OF PASSENGERS PER SCREW-STEAMER KAN GAROO.—Mrs. French, Mr. R.

Benort, Mr. Albert Frank, Captain Hubbard, Mr. James Griffiths, Mr. S. T. Collins and lady, and 101 steerage passengers. VOLUNTEERS ON TIIE STAGE.—The members of the first corps of the first battalion of Lancashire Volunteer Rifles are, we understand, making arrangements to give dramatic performance and hold a soirée clansante in the St. George's-hall, at Easter. A stage will be erected, at the organ end of the ball, and other theatrical acces sories supplied, so as to contribute to the smoothness and success of the performance. The event will doubt less be one of the most unique and enjoyable which has ever taken place in connection with volunteer displays. LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—CARDIGAN, JAN. 23.—During a heavy ground sea, and the wind blowing fresh from N.W., the schooner Dewi Wynn, from Portmadoc, was stranded on a bank in Cardigan Bay, on Monday. last. As soon as the signals of distress indicating the perilous position of the ship were seen, the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was manned and launched. On approaching the wreck the sea was breaking com pletely over her, but after some difficulty the schooner's crew of four men and four travellers were taken off by the lifeboat and afterwards safely brought on shore. This lifeboat has been some years on her station, but has never previously had an opportunity to save life. it is however evident that in her absence on the present occasion the lives of eight poor men would seriously have been imperilled. TUB AFFAIR OF,MESSRS. FRANCIS EDE, SON & 03... The accounts from Constantinople yesterday speak of the affairs of Messrs. T. N. Black and Co., the agents of Messrs. Francis Ede, Sop and Co., as showing a very favourable appearance. Airy great embarrassment, it is hoped, will be avoided, as a committee of the principal Greek merchants haS ben appointed, who will act with a committee in London,. the object being to support Messrs. Black and Co., and to carry out the best ar rangements possible for affording relief- to the creditors of Messrs. Ede, Son and Co. These endeavours are naturally directed to the preservation of the engagements with the Turkish Government to prevent any lapse in the receipt of certain Customs duties, in: which these two firms are vitally interested. THE 79TH LthicAsHniii RIFLE VOLUN TEERS.—The Highland company of this corps held a meeting last night, in the large room at the North Short Mills, for recruiting purposes. The members of the other two companies attended in considerable numbers, and there was also a tolerable muster of the residemts of the district. Mr. Clarke Aspinall occupied the chair, and spoke, of course, with his usual facetiousness and force. Captain Lamont followed, and then Ensign Macpherson.
