when I and Anderson, the other man saved, got up the
cliffs and met • fisherman named Philips, who took us to the
house of another fisherman named Wheeler, where we bad
clothes and refreshment found us."

Thomas Anderson, the other seaman, saved himself by
swimming sabots. The most distressing circumstance
connected with the wreck is that during the struggle to save
the ship, when in the midst of the breakers, nu person on
shore was cognisant of her position, although houses stood
at no great distance from the edge of the cliff, and the
Atherfield Coastguard Station stands on a jutting promon-
tory about half a mile to the westward, while the Brook
and Grange lifeboat' were both at hand and ready for imme-
diate :aunching and service. The time, however, at which
the reseal came ashore, and the short specs which sufficed
to break her up and destroy all on with the excep-
I Con of the two seamen who were so fortunate as to reach
the shore, is a sufficient explanation why co help wee given
to the crew of the unfortunate ship.

During Tueaday (we learn from the Wotern Morn-
ing News) several more vessels took shelter in Plymouth,
Sound, to avoid the motioned heavy weather that prevailed
in the Cheese. The only accident, however, which they
report occurred to the barque Moulted, of Dumfries, from
Bahia, with • early of sugar consigned to this port. She
was last from Queenstown, and lost her jib-boom. Messrs.
Green's ship, the Dover Castle, Captain Ayles, bound for
Melbourne, with 125 passengers, put back again into the
Sc,ltgesterday. She left this port on her third attempt to
on her voyage at about two p.m. on Saturday last, and
proceed
the following morning (Sunday) bad reached some 30 miles
be odd the Lizard, when the wind shifted to an unfavour-
able quarter. This, with the gale, occasioned her return.
—An accident happened on Tuesday in Catwater, by which
two women narrowly escaped being drowned. Joseph
Collins, a river pilot, was giving two Irish women, limpet
pickers, • passage in his boat from the Batten to Sutton
Pool, and while he was setting more sail • squall capsized
the boat. Collies being able to swim immediately struck
out for the Batten shore, which was close at hand, and
which he reached in safety. The accident occurred close
to the Diligent, Trinity tender, but her only boat was
ashore. Her mate, Daniel Nankivell, hearing the alarm
made by a boy that was on deck, ran up and jumped over-
board in a praiseworthy attempt to rescue the women.
He was, however, carried away. by the tide, and before he
could recover his headway against it, two boats lowered
from schooners that were also anchored near picked up
the women and took them in. The women were landed
at Batten, where the residents very benevolently and
successfully exerted themselves in their resuscitation.
The sloop Industry, of Plymouth, which put into the
Selcombe harbour on Thursday to avoid the gale then
blowing, was lost about three miles off Saloombe on
Saturday. It seems that as the wind had shifted a little,
and the captain wished to get to Plymouth as quick as be
could, they put to sea on Saturday morning, and when
about three miles off the harbour she was struck with a
sea, and beiug deeply laden, began to SU rapidly. The
boat, which was being towed, was immediately pulled up,
and the crew got into it. The vessel went down directly
after the crew left her. She was laden with a cargo of
Portland stone, from which place she was bound to
Plymouth. The sloop (which belonged principally to
the captain) and the cargo are, wo understand, unin-
sured. The crew were unable to save any of their effects.
In respect to Mr. Restarick's ship the Princess Royal,
we have been requested by Oaptam Tozer to state that
she did not touch the ground whilst being towed into
the Sound. In consequence of the great strength of the
gale at the time the tugs were not able to tow her, and
she was obliged to drop anchor twice, and it was this
which gave rise to the story that she had touched the
ground. Eventually she was brought safe to her berth,
without any damage whatever. During the gale on Sun-
day the telegraphic wires were broken, in oomequinme of
a tree falling across them near the Torquay railway station.
The broken hull of the Jamie Oscar, with the masts,
rigging, stores, &c., at Gunwalloe, are to be sold by
auction on Wednesday. The continued gales of the last
few days have brought mountainous seas into the hay,
but fortunately no vessels have been mar the coast. One
was observed from Mullion early on Sunday, about six
miles off the shore, standing away, and she cleared the
Lizard in safety. The gels was felt at Scilly. On Sunday
night the Belgian brig Owar parted one of her chains, and
drove close to the reef of rocks called the Potts. The crew
had all their clothes packed ready to leave the vessel if she
struck, but fortunately she drove clear and the anchor
brought her up and held her on until another anchor was
taken to her by the pilot cutter Atlantic.
SHIPWRECK ON &AWHILE HEAD. Early on
Monday morning a very large barque was observed to be
ashore on Rattray Head. The steam tug Derweot happen-
ing to be in the north harbour of Peterhead, the steam was
immediately pat up, and Means. Stephen and Forbes,
shipbuilders, accompanied the steamer to rescue the
crew of the unfortunate vessel, as it was evident from
the very high wind which prevailed at the time
that they could not long keep afloat. On the way 1
to the scene of the disaster a small boat was seen
by the steamer, apparently in distress, and the
crew of which being unable to row it was drifting out
to sea. On reaching the boat it proved to be one of
the ship's boats, containing • portion of the crew,
who were immediately taken on board, quite benumbed:
It appeared that another of the ship's boats contained the
remainder of the crew, and that she was still farther
drifted out to sea. A look-out was immediately made for
the other boat, and the remainder of the crew were
shortly after picked up from their perilous position, and
all safely landed at about 10 o'clock, a.m. The unfortunate
vessel, which proved to be the Water Lily, of Sunderland,
330 tons burden was bound for Leith with a cargo of wheat
from New York, from which latter place she sailed ou 11th
September. The crew consisted of eleven men, besides
the master, and one passenger. She struck on the Heed
about 4 o'clock on Monday morning, and the crew saw no
hope but to betake themselves to the boats, having saved
their clothes and the ship's papers.—Baiaffokire Journal.

officer, who would be free from all legal prejudice in his
award. It might be that, from this battalion being scat-
tered over the county, and from the few opportunities
they possessed for battalion drill, they never could ex-
pect to compete with the Robin Hood Rifles as a batta-
lion ; still, as iegarded company drill, there was oo reason
why they iLolikt not stand upon en equal footing with
that corps. He urged them to talk over the matter with
their officers, and if they accepted his offer, he should
have pleasure in presenting a challenge cup, to be com-
peted for by the companies of the two battalions of the
county. He believed that such • competition would be
conducive to excellence, and therefore should only be too
proud to assist in promoting it. (Applause.) He believed
that its effect would be to pat both officers and men upon
their mettle. The great efficiency visible in the Robin
Hood Corps be attributed to a large extant to the
and zeal of its officers. If officers attended to therrlera
there was no fear of the battalion becoming efficient ; if
they did not, it was impossible for the battalion to come
up to the mark. The officers who did not attend to
duty must necessarily labour under great disadvantages
when they were called upon to act. There was no reason
why this should be so now, seeing that any officer could
go to Aldeishott, where, in a very short time, he could
acquire a good knowledge of his duty. That he never could
acquire by the mere study of drill books ; but if be would
adopt the other course, the result would be of immense ad-
I vantage, not only to himself but to the men under his com-
I mend. (Applause.) We had seen is another country, where
a great war is now waging, the lamentable defect of
a want of efficient officers. You might extemporise
1 tolerable wldiers almost out of anybody. You take
; • few undisciplined men, end plans them among
those who ere tolerably efficient. The result is, they soon
come upp to the mark. So they become to a certain extent
tdsnbly competent soldiers. But aeons scold not be
made in this sodden way—they require time, skill, and
study. Well, now, look at that frightful struggle that had
been going on for • year and a half, sad was it not pitiful to
behold? He spoke not with regard to the army of that
country, because he believed that it was composed of as tine •
bodyof men as were ever seen—of @a greed material as ever an
army was composed of ; but what were their officers? He
ventured to say that few of them were fit to command a re-
giment, much lass • brigade or • divisions. He attributed
that result to the fact that the men in command had not
been trained to the work, and it was against such disastrous
multi; that he would warn Volunteer officers of the impe-
rative necessity of making themselves meters of their duty.
Well, now, many of the men before him had come long dis-
tancs to attend this review, and he would not detain them
further, except to may that he had the greatest possible
pleasure in Wend* their inspection. (Cheers.)

PUBLIC MZITINQ AT BILADVOILD.—A large and
influential meeting was held at the Extbange-buildings,
Bradford, on Tuesday, to consider what steps should be
taken to relieve the distress in the cotton districts. The
Mayor presided. Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., moved the tint
resolution, which was expressive of sympathy with the
suffering operatives in the cotton district*, and deelaring
that the time had arrived for making an effort on their
behalf in Bradford. The hoe. gentleman urged various
reasons why the meeting was bound to take immediate
steps to relieve the suffering in Lancashire. He pointed
to the increasing list of pauperism, sa shown by Mr. Far-
nail's report, and stated that Sir J. Kay-Shrritiewortn in-
formed him that in the months of November and December
the number of persons requiring parochial and other aid
would probably be from 350,000 to 400,000. He defended
the employers of Lancashire from the imputation of neglect-
ing their duty in this crisis, and declared that the sympathy
of the employers towards their workpeople, and the great
sacrifices they had made for them, would be remembered and
tend,to bind both the more closely together hereafter. Mr. H.
Harris seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.
Among the speakers were Mr. Alderman Brown, Mr. T.
A. Stowell, J. H. W. Ripley, Mr. Band, Mr. R. Kell. Mr.
A. Harris, arid Mr. Garnett (of Clitheroe), who bore testi-
mony to the sacrifices of employers'. A subscription was
opened at the class of the meeting, and more tine 3,0001.
