TO Wial.—Tbose of our fair °outing who
are in the predicament of not being satisfied with their
present attire, and who want something fresh, should
mom:ober that colours are very different after dark,
and that they had better "go matching" in daylight.
The complexions of their poorer brethren and sisters—
the ami.tants in shops, are also given to fade, if they
ere occupied too late at night, and by aiding the early
closing movement, the deer ladies will not only prevent
disappointment, but keep Nature's roseate hue on
their neighbour's cheeks and their own.

CO. IVI AND CoNNTITOTIONAL ASSOCIATION.—
Th• operations of this emaciation were forwarded
another stage on Wedeeday evening last, when Dr. Fox
presided over a meeting at the Victoria hotel. Members
were enrolled sad subscriptions received, and as it was
found that there were many Conservatives in humble
circumstances, and who, in these bad times, did not
want to part with a shilling more than they could help,
Dr. Fox set the example, which it le said will b•
followed, of paying the admission for them, and ten
were admitted by this means. Mr. R. Reynolds,
secretary, received several new members, and the urn-
dation is increasing in strength.
DEATH AT BRA, AND DANAGI TO Till FRIP.
Within the seam 24 hours that the Weymouth brig
&Amide went in a treacherous fog on the (recite rocks
at Lundy, in the Bideford district, • Bideford brigantine
was fleeing from the rage of the gale for the shelter
of out Roads. Her some was the Saint Bradoek, D.
M. Spooner, master, 107 tons register, with six hands
on board, and she left Seville on Feb. 22, with 170 tons
of lead and boned for the corth. Her classing was A
I red, seven years from 1861 ; but she was staunch,
strong, well weaned, well found, and fit in every
respect for the voyage. At two on the morning of the
13th tilt., the weather was thick with rain, and the
wind blowing a heavy pie from thi NW. by N., and
they hove lo in lat. 43.14 N. and long. 10.10 W. Here
• heavy sea struck her on the port side, carrying away
part of her bulwarks and stanchions, throwing her on
her berm ends. "Cut away the fore-trys4l r cried
the master, in hopes to Mahlon her, and away it was
out, and the foretopromt mainsail too, and she righted.
On sounding the pumps they found two feet of water,
and set to work to pump ; but the wind increased about
noon and they lay to again. All the rest of that day
and the nest, and Mill till four o'clock on the afternoon
of the 15tb they lay to. About that time the wind
moderated, and they again set mil. Two dale after
the gale increased again, and all light sails were taken
In. About midnight a Spaniard who was engaged as
boatswain found himself unwell, and reported himself
so to the captain on deck. Next morning the weather
moderated, and at eight o'clock they set more sail On
the 21st the wind was blowing • gale, and in the inid4
of MI the anxiety for the ship the poor Spanish boat-
swain died, and was committed to an ocean grave in
lat. 47.26 N., long. 4.63 W. On the :Nth and 27th the
wind blew nearly a hurricane, and there was • heavy
mos+ sea, and next day one of the terrible seas caught
the vestal, and broke upon the mainsail, carrying away
the mainsheet. boom, port bulwarks, and doing other
dazu-ge, finishing off by heaving the ship down.
Overboard wept six or seven tons of cargo to ease the
ship, an I doing the best thing they could under the
circumstances, they managed to bold on their way
through the gale till they got to Portland Roads. Here
the mater engaged the services of • boat and crew to
assist in getting the brigantine moored. There were
three feet of water in the hold, and the hired crew had
to man the pumps, for the brigantine's crew were
entirely worn out. The ship's demage was estimated
by the captain in his deposition before R. G. Chessman,
Ent., receiver of wreck, at £l6O, but the vessel was!
insured for 1:600. The loos on the cargo is about £7O
or ASO, end it is not known whether that was insured.

assembly gathered at the Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms

amateurs in aid of the S.natorium Endowment Fund.
The friends of this good object appear to have worked

followed with the Troller* dust "Born. to our
Mountains," in which thc lady's notes war... ewer as
ever, and Mr. Eadaby displayed great power of yoke
coupled with delightful purity of tone. Mr. Oakley's
powerful bass voles was heard to advantage in the song
of "The Stirrup Cup," by &milli. Instrumental critice
were on the qui Ma for Kr. Avant's piano solo, "My
di:l6l. OD the Cold Ground," and that gentleman

thyrlifss Stiff., who rog with greet expression and
sweetness Tito Mattel's "Non d Vat," and being
persistently encored, also obliged with • pretty
Neapolitan rag, "La Verne," with equal success.
The appeaser's of Mr. Enderby and Miss Nott together
on the platform vu the signal for renewed apilause,
and the young lady showed that she could ply as well
as sing by her tasteful accompaniment to Mr. Enderby'.
"Alice, where art thou r Ascher. Taste and feeling
11 were not the only attributes of Mr. Eoderby's render-
ing, although they were exquisite; there WIN tile most
deliaior mere in every note, and an encore was of

the greatest ease. After en nteteal, the choir re-
appeared, and pv6 "The Village Choristers," which
was ming, not only with the esprit dc corps that
marks • number of gingen at home with each
other, bat such execution as procured an encore.
Mr. Avant then kindly added • pier not in the ro-
gramme, looneert plop "La Viotoire," by himself, in
which there me many beautiful passages, and also some
very rapid fingering. It was brilliantly ea well as
tastefully performed, and Mr. Avant was of coarse
received with great tipplers. "Kathleen Mayotte-
neon" was committed to Mies Stiffs, and well she
acquitted herself of the delicate task. Delicious tender-
ness, and malliduous sweetness marked her rendering,
and the applause was rapturoos, and culminated in an
encore, to which she kindly responded. Kr. G. Thorne,
• young artiste, who we should say I. foe rising Into
notice, were it not that be is already accepted as •
favourite of the public', gave the seoompaoimento to
tbe soap (except where be was relieved by Miss Not),
with brillanoy, taste, expression, and feeling, and in
faot all the good features requisite, and he vu
now called upon to submit himeelf to the audience
alone. He performed • piano solo of his own arrange-
ment 'll Balsa" from II Trovatere, and acquitted
himself well, both as to originality and execution. We
shall hear more of Mr. Thorne. The audience did not
know from the programme all that was In store for
them, for Miss Nola kindly added "Love was once a
little boy," song with charming eeriness, and an
nstantaneor encore following, sang "Oh dear! what
can the matter be ?" with all the meditative querulous-
ness and society expressed in the song. bliss Nott
accompanied herself in brilliant style. "Good bye,
sweetheart, good bye," was rendered so pleasingly by
Mr. Enderby, sosompanied by Miss Nott, that they
were encored, and the audience appeared equally pleased
with "Thou art so near, and yet so far." One of the
gems of the evening, at least to the more refined vu
the song "Be m'abbandoni" (Mareadank), as given by
Miss Clark. It contains very rapid passages of greet own-
par extending over more than two octaves, and woe.
rich treat. On being warmly encored Miss Clark per
" Katy's Letter," and was followed by a repetition of
the applause. Miss Noll also won applause in" My
Home in Cloudland," although it was not quite her
forte. Mr. Oakley deserved an eneore in Smart's song
"Poor Jack Brown," which he sang with real manliness
and vigour, and would doubtless have been willed on to
repeat it, bad it not been for the lakoree of the hoer.
The concert concluded with the "National Anthem,"
the solo parts being taken in succession by some of the
amateurs, the chorus being swelled by St. John's choir.
Dr. Smith before the finale. °speared the thanks of the
friends of the Sanatorium to the singers and performers
for their valued server, to Kr. Loos for the use of the
room, and to Mr. Dodson for his kindness in erecting
the stage, and the brilliant assembly departed, no doubt
is. happy frame of mind, at having assisted so valuable
an institution as the Sanatorium in so pleasant • way
as the concert of that sight

bankrupt aseribes his failure to various reasons, the
principal being measure by his principal crediten, and
the profits of his trade being insufficient to support
himself, ,if,, and family. —There being no opposition,
the Judge granted the bankrupt his order of discharge.

the bankrupt's difficulties are ascribed to the insuffi-
cieney of his trade to support himself, wife, and family.
The registrar stated that he bed been requested to ask
the bankrupt what he bad done with his horse
