Talbot gem end the toaster of the Port Tahoe hem-tug,
who, under Mr. Talbot's dimness, got the ship's beat well
to windward, and then, by watching the roe of the as., and
having a line fast on shore to prevent the ccathignicy of the
under tow carrying the boat into brokm water, they were
enabled to get alongside without shipping • drop of water, and
thus bring the remaining man =chore. If time.men had been
on the spot at first, or any man used to the amusement of
boats, no one would have been drowned. The sea was proba-
bly not lass than five feet in height, and ringing on that flit
beech 160 to 200 yards, so that it wan only at carefully
watched 'lntervale that any spores& to the ship could lea
made. The man who was drowned wet certainly in no more
than four feet water, yet his body never came adore, end
ppraogbea y never will. This highly meritorious oast has been
derwarded to the National UMW lnatitatica. Mr. Talbot
has recently sedated, in oonjunction with other gentlemen, in
terminet a lifeboat establishment at Portheawl, ow the scene
of the re-motioned wreck.

NARROW EACAPE FROM Dzowmo.-02 Thurs-
day the awn-ship New York l the port of Bouthenmeas
far America, and was piloted to the Needles by Mr. Bowyer.
It was nearly dark when the ship arrived abreast of the
Needles, and the ma was running very high, from the effects
of the gale which had been previously blowing. A mall
boat belonging to the pilot had been hoisted up the ship's
side by two tackles, and wee :accompanied by two urea named
Diaper and Newman. On arriving at the Needle Rocks the
ship was bore to for the pilot and higoompanicas to leaveher.
At this time the ebb tide was running vm, strong to
windward, causing the sea to strike heavily against the ship,
and whilst the boat was being lowered with the three men
above-named in it, the first sea filled her with water, the
next unhooked the after tackle and knocked Newman out of
the boar, but be fortunately caught bold of the tackle, and,
with much difficulty, climbed up the side of the ship.
also got hold of the foremast tackle and succeeded is
on board, both men being very much exhausted. All
tide time Bowyer was hanging on the boat, and every sea
washed over him, on some occ•aions ten feet above
his heed, driving the boat with mach force against the
ship. The bottom boards, mats, ems, and everything
moveable, with the fore thwarts and knees of the boat, were
wmisol sway, and her sides nearly stove in ; still the pilot
clung to her, although greatly bruised and nearly imensible.
Rome were thrown over the ships side, but be dared not
leave go hie bold of the boat, and after being washed about
in this manner for twenty minutes, the boat and himself
were hauled= board the ship by the fore tackle. In • second
attempt to have the chip they were successful.
LOSS OF THE SCREW STEAMER INDIAN.—BOARD
or Thane lnuoiay.—tdr. Yeastiekl, Liverpool stipendisry
megsts, and Captain Harris, nautical seasesor to the Board
of Trade, resumed yesterday the inquiry into the Ices of the
screw Mauer Indian upon the North Scotian Coast. Mr.
O'Dowd (the solicitor to the Board of Trade oanduotiog the
higuky), informed the court that he had received information
from the Colonial-office, to the effect that Earl Molgrave Wes
taking steps for the apprehension and punishment of
the persons who had plundered the ship. Captain Smith,
whore examination was continued, stated that the
chart by which be worked the Indian bad the light
uCCurse Point indicated, but not the light op=
eheed Point. When the vessel struck ehe wee going
8) knots an hour, end the captain bed since aacert
that be was 32 toiler from the piece where he supposed him-
self to be. His nautical instruments were correct, fix they
served him socarately in making Cape Race ; and he ac-
counted for his being so ter astray by supposing that than
must have been an unffi r.carrent running strongly in the
oppoeite direction frow that shown by the charts and miliog
books. The divers bad found the rocks upon which the ship
struck to be exceedingly sharp. Every effort was made
to save life. Mr. Stuart, the first officer, who
was next examined, described the course of the
ship, and the soundings taken. Though aware of the two
lights on Canso Point, witness was not aware of the belt on
Whitehead Point, and thought at first it was the light of the
vessel "hove-to." It wan his first voyage on board the
Indian. Steed corroborated the statement of Captain
Smith with Teepee to the supposed position of the vessel at
the time she struck. The land near the wreck was low, and
at 10 or 12 miles could not he seen even in clear weather.
When the ship etruck whores ordered the engines to be
reversed and the helm put hard-a-starboard, but he believed
the rudder in of the water prevented the reversion of the
engines. The examination of Mr. Stuart wee proceeding
when one penal lift.
RUFFIANLY CONDUCT AND EXTRAORDINARY
ESCAPE.—On Monday everting, before the performance of
the Arsenals commenced in the Pres-trade Hall, Manchester,
ome of the boys engaged in selling programmes had a narrow
recap from beicg killed. Alter about • thousand people
had been admitted, the boy was busily engaged in selling his

programmesbl t a man graving at his bundle of programmes,
when he put then, under big arm and stuck fast to them.
His ruffianly assailant evidently became annoyed at this, and
isonediately seized the poor little fellow and threw hire out of
the gallery into the area below, a height of about 20 feet.
The boy alighted upon the Am:adore of the crowd below, and,
strums to say, the may injury he received we. a couple of
bleakqes. The fellow who committed this outrage could
