The Isle of Thaaet steamship, Naafisld, from Hull to

are as follow :—Salled from Hull on the 23rd October, at
8 30 a.m.; at 4 a.m. of the 24th passed the Newarp ; at 430
the engine broke down, wind at the time blowier hard at
W.S.W. The eogineers did all they could to endeavour to
put the engines to rights, bat as It took so long Captain
&Weld brought the vessel up at 8 a.m., as she was fast
driving to the eastward. After trying all possible means,
the engines were still useless. In onsequence of the heavy
sea, the vessel laboured considerably, and beams leaky ; at
3 p.m. hoisted a signal for assistance. but during the night
the steamer shipped such great quaatities of water that
Captain Schofield deemed it &dateable to lighten her, by
throwing overboard cosh, which they commenced doing.
At 4.30 a m. of the 26th a smack came to the steamer's as-
sisting', when. Captala Schofield, having consulted the
officers and crew, came to Yarmouth in her for the purpose
of engaging a tug. At noon be succeeded in getting a
tug to go after the steamer, which got to her at 3 p.m.; she
was still making a good deal of water, and a heavy sea was
ruanieg. The anchor and chain were slipped from, and the
tag took the steamer in tow, bat after towing for about as
hour the water gained so much on the crew that part of
them left and got on board a smack clots by, leaving four
men on hoard, and before the boats could return to the
steamer the vessel parted in two, and sunk immediately.
The steam-tug succeeded in picking up one man Boating on
some wreck, but the other three wars unfortunately
drowned. Their names are—Thomas Lee, mate, and Isaac
Gibson, let engineer, both of Hull; and George Wright
Faller, Pad mate.

THE HAT AND THE CROWN.—Some time ago (no
matter bow long) en address was voted to Pries Albert—
no matter where. The presestation of it devolved, ofileially,
on an sunned and intelligent member of the Societe of
Friends—no matter who. Then eass the question of the
bat:—would Prince Albert receive the address from the
oQuaker °owed ? His Royal Highness wee invited to gu—
ys or no—if would tolerate the hat. The Prince replied,
not in the following words, but to the following effect :
That be really did not ears a straw about the Friend's beaver
himself ; bet thee her Majesty would be present—and would
it he civil to the crown, colonially when were by • lady, to
wear the hat? Now the worthy Friesd probably eared as little,
himself, as H.R.H. about the hat; end, enough having been
said for the satisfaction (as we hese) of the society, it was
resolved that the hat should go overboard.—Gateshead
