large quantity of property, oonsisting of embossed,
printed, bordered, and velvet tabloaovers, a piece of
scarlet cloth, ko., to the value of nearly £2OO, was
stolen. It is supposed that the theieves obtained an

the front door. The desk was broken open and the

occurred during the transit of the Parliamentary train
between Birmingham and Bristol, which leaves the
former station at five minutes put 7 in the morning,
and is due at Gloweter at five past ten. The train had
arrived within four miles of °locator, when the driver
observed at • short diatoms a men standing by the line
and, as the train approached him nearer lie deliberately
walked upon the down line of rails, and placing himself
in • stooping position in front of the engine appeared to
wait with coolness certain and instantaneous death. No
time wee afforded to avert the calamity by a stoppage of
the train, and the poor fellow wee literally dished to
pleoes, ?minima of his body being strewn about the
line, while considerable portions of flesh and of his
wearing apparel were found still adhering to the engine
and carriages upon the train reaching °loader. The
deceased was very respeotably attired, bleaeures were
immediately taken to secure the remains, which were
removed to the village of Chosen, there to await a
coroner's inquest. At present they have not been
identified,

Captain Carmen 'Mould stake £75 to Captain Alex-

o'clock on Monday night, which was very dark and
foggy), the sergeant ordered him and another officer to

lure lie could reply, " a pistol was fired, and he
felt himself struck in the middle of the' body. The

throughout the length and breadth of the land every
one 1010 lied been in Leeds said they were glad to think
that the inhabitants of that town had entertained Her
Majesty in such • creditable manner. After Her
Majesty was seated in the carriage, previous to her
departure, she beckoned to him (Sir itsber) to approach
and addressed him in these word.:—" I never In the
whole course of may peregrinations have been received
with so heartfelt and cordial a reception BB I have

men then adverted to the speech of Mr. Bright at
Birmingham, and said that no man admired Mr.
Bright more AA • rhetorician than he did. He thought
ho was the best speaker he had ever listened to, but
upon that speech lie (Sir Pater) wished to make a few
remarks, as he thought that • wore dangerous speech
wita never made before a community. (Hear, hear.)
The °bidet of Mr. Bright loomed to be to set class
against clue—the worst course which a politician mild
possibly adopt. He hail seen this In every speech which
Mr. Bright had made for the last ?ow years. That
gentleman ,m4l done a good service to the country, and,
being one of the leaders of the Anti• Corn Law League,
had -by ha eloquence helped to bring about that issue.
We had to thank him for that ; but sinou the repeal of

(Sir Peter) had mentioned that Mr. right wished to
set dam against class—lie wished to let the working
classes against the middle clusee, and the middle
classes against the aristocracy. But that was one of the
word things to do in a community of Englishmen. We
wished to be one family and live together in brotherly
love. (Hear, hear.) He seemed to have made up hie
mind that the constitution of the United Stales was the

He knew that if any person hold opinions whioh Were
Orono to those of the mob he was In denier of losing
his life. But notwithstanding 11111, Mr. Bright forgot
the outrage that had been ooinruitted upon his (Sir
Peter's) exultant friend the Hon. Mr. gunner In the
Benate•Housa of America. Could that brutal and
beastly attack have been oommitted in the English
House of Commons or House of Lords? Could -Mr,

PaSSIMATION Or Lill FROM BRIPWRECII.—Wod-
needay a meeting of the Royal National Lifeboat Insti-
tution was held at its house, John Street, Adelpiii, Mr.
Thomas Chapman, F.R.S., in the chair. Mr. Lewis,
the secretary, having read the minute. of the previous
meeting, a reward of £5l was voted to the crew of the
Pakefleld life-boat, which is in connection with the
National Lifeboat Institution, in acknowledgment of
their pliant oonducit in rescuing, at great peril to their
lives, eight of the crew of the bark Jetuira, which was
wrecked during • heavy gale of wind on the Newoome
Sands on the 7th ult. The lifeboat', brave crew have
also received eubstantial acknowledgments for their ger.
vicee front elsewhere. A reward of £l6 was alio voted
to the crew of the Institution's lifeboat stationed at Dun-
geons, in soknowledgment of their gallant services dur-
ing the dark and stormy night of the Dolt., in putting
off with the view of rescuing the crew of the brigantine
Jane May, of Fahnouth, which was totally wrecked off
No. 2 Battery. Finding, however, no bottle on the ves-
sel, and concluding that the crew had left in them for
the shore, the lifeboat returned to land after coins hours
of incessant and portion* toil. A reward of £4 10e. was
also voted to the crew of the society's lifeboat stationed
at Lletvidwyn, on the Anglesey coast, for putting off in
her during a heavy gale of wind, with a view of rescu-
ing the crew of the flat Uncle Tom, of Runcorn, which
had • flag of dietreee dying. Some of the lifeboats crew
having boarded the vessel, afterwards misted her in
getting under weigh and in bringing her to a place of
safety. The thanks of the institution, inscribed on vol.
Icon, was voted to Mr. 0. C. Jones, chief officer of
Coastguard, and £2l to his crew, for going off in the
Skerries lifeboat to the rescue of the crew of the
ochooner Mary, of Carnarvon, which was during a heavy
gale of wind wrecked off Balbriggen on the 9th ult. .A
whale boat, however, manned by five gallant men, was
carried over the rock. to leeward of the Yowl, and in
comparatively smooth water sueoeeded in reaching the
wreck and in taking off her exhausted crew, just as the
lifeboat had after two attempts overcome the principal
difiloulty in weathering the point. A large ouhaciption
had been collected locally to reward the whale boat's
crew, to whom were also voted the thanks of the institu-
tioa on vellum. It is impossible adequately to describe
the courage and wilf•devotion of those brave men who
constantly man the life boats. In the dark hour of the
night, 'When the tempest, lighting, and thunder are
enough to appal the stoutest heart, these men are at
their poet of duty, and It he worthy of record that,
while snores of floor creatures have been dived from a
watery grave, the society has not had to lenient the loss
of a single man, althoinch Re lifeboats are conetantly en-
gaged in the most periloito undertaking,. A new life-
boat wee ordered to be built for Fleetwood, on the Lan.
ciaahlre tout. The Institution had eent during the past
month four new lifeboats to be stationed at Cromer end
Seaton, (Norfolk), Fraserbtirgh, and Dundruni Bay. It
was stated that the receipts of the institution, (molder-
leg Its extensive *pliers of operations, were ampere-
tivelylimited, but Ott the demands on its fun& were very
heavy, and that the coininittee wore oompelled in order
to meet the 11111110 to lOU a pUrtioll of the society's entail

of onr Winne' sooletlee the aid of the benevolent should
be liberally extended to it. It le reported that a lady

priate reinerks were made on the unceasing attention
of the Chairman, (Mr. Chapman), to the great interests

excellent drawing of a lifeboat 'WWIIe to localities
