SHIPWEECKS.-LIEZBOAT SERVICES.

CALICOS, NEAR YARMOUTH, TUESDAY Mani.
The old lifeboat (writes the Rev. G. W. Steward
is finishing her mums of good services gloriondy, sad in a
MIMIC worthy of hen elf and of the MO who have maimed
her eo often node: eireumiteuces of varied risk and peril.
last night about 7 o'clock two guns were fired and rockets
were thrown up from the Cockle Floating Light a little to
the northward of Caistor. The eight was dark and rainy, and
a Wong wind wu blowing from about E.11.E., with a food
deal of sea on the bomb. The beachmea launched Moderator
lifeboat of the National Institution without a moment's log
of time, and on their way to the Cockle Light, about half
a mile to the N.W. of it, they fell in with a brig of about
100 toss at anchor, close by the breakers of the Cockle
Sand. Approaching her se near as they could, and mar-
taming that she wetted assistants, they bore away, let go
their anchor, sod wore to the ship, which they toned had
run foul of the floating light. The drip had carried away
a part of her bulwarks, her foremain rigging, and three of
her crew had jumped on board the light. The headmen
having got to the marl with much damage_
put six of the lifeboat's crew aboard the ship, slipped
her anchor, and took her over the north-end of the Cockle
Sand, following her with the lifeboat through a heavy sea,
which at timee nearly threw the ship on ber beamends.
Ravin brought her up in Hemeby Hole, they anchored sod
waited till daylight, when they went off with the lifeboat to
the Cockle Light, and brought three men, who they leaned
had jumped on to the light-vessel, Caistor. One of them
wee afterwards taken to Yarmouth Regrind, his foot being
badly crumbed. The ship wee taken into the roads, as .4 I
believe, into Yarmouth Harbour by a steam•tug. The
name of the brig is the Kathleen, of Hartlepool, from
Fikamp, in France, with acids.
TYNEMOUTH, NORTHUMBERLAND,
TUESDAY NIGHT.
Another sad catastronhe has occurred at the mouth of
the Tyne (says P. J. Mement, Esq., 0.E.). An old brig,
the Madera, of South Shields, coal-leder, on entering
during a very heavy gale from E.S.E. end high est, had her
stern bulwarks and steering gear, and probably part
of the lower stern, knocked away kid before reach-
ing the bar. She then became unmanageable, and
after a few minutes labouring in the Mesh-
ing seas, sunk without apparently striking the
ground at all, taking with her all hands—l fear about seven
men. The Tymenouth (the Constance) lifeboat of the
National Institution was promptly launched as soon se the
danger of the vestal was observed, but it was found im-
possible to take her amass the Channel os amount of the
straw oorthernly set of the ebb tide. The three
Shields lifeboats were also out, but could not go
through the tremendous se
through they had the
tide in their favour, while it threatened to take the Con-
stenos out to sea beyond the wreck. The Catalano groom-
tired some very violent seam, but would have been able to
read the vessel in time had it base flood instead of ebb tide.
The wreck occurred at 10 S.M. The see is still very heavy,
and I fear further disasters, although a great many verse
have entered safely.

THE COURT AT BALMORAL—OH Friday her Ma-
jesty and party from Balmoral drove out on the north side
of the river Dee, via the family mansion of Invert-add. At
• abort distance beyond, • divergence was made from the
country road to the notih-west, through the narrow defiles
of the Slogan Glen towards Ben-a-board. Having pro-
ceeded for • few miles in this direction the carriage was
stopped, and the Queen and party (guides and ponies being
provided from the Palace) proceeded by the riding path to
the wide level on the crest of Ben-a-board. A delightful
view was obtained of the surrounding counties as
far ea the German Ocean, the day being fine,
eel the atmosphere very clear. After • prolonged
stay, the royal party demanded the mountain flank,
and returned to Balmoral late in the evening.
On Saturday evening her Majesty drove through Braemar
to the Falls of Corrismulsie. His Royal Highness Prince
Alfred, who only arrived at Southampton on Friday, was •
passenger by the limited mail which left London at half-
past Bon Sunday evening for Aberdeen. H. travelled is
one of the royal saloon carriages, which was placed near the
centre of the train. The mail was a little late at Perth.
On the journey over the Scottish North•Eastera line, the
saloon carriage and ha occupant attracted a good deal of
attention, but them was no special demonstration. The
train reached Aberdeen at a quarter to 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and almost immediately after Primo Alfred pro-
ceeded to Balmoral, baying a special engine over the Dee-
side Railway and posting the remainder of the distance.—
