VALUABLY LIFEBOAT SERVICE.--SLLLOTH, NEAR
CAELIMII, Our. 10.—A Idling smack was observed in a
dangerous position on the South Bank yesterday, with the
sea breaking over her (says Mr. James Barnes, of H.M.
customs). The Angela and Hannah lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat Institution was at once launched and
proceeded to the spot and found the smack filled and covered
with the tide, the mast only being above water, and no
one on her. The lifeboat was then taken away to the
eastward in the track of the tide, so that if anything had
floated from the wreck it might be seen, and shortly after-
wards a man was observed on a small raft formed with a
couple of ballast boards and gaff. The poor fellow was
quickly picked up by the lifeboat and placed on board a
steam tug which had followed the boat from Moth, and
the lifeboat was then towed back to its station. The
smack was the Rover, of Annan, and was on a vo to
that place in ballast from Skinburness. Fortunately no
lives were lost on the occasion from the vessel—the rescued
man it would appear being the only one on board her at
the time she went on the bank. This lifeboat and the one
stationed at Plymouth were presented to the institution
some years since by Miss Burdett Coutts.
Powramorrit, Ot.T. 11.—Admiral Sir Alexander
Milne, }C.C.S., paid a visit to the dockyard yesterday, and

IMELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A LADY NEAR BEIS-
Tot.— Quite a painful sensation was produced on Friday
night at the northern extremity of Bristol, in consequence
of its becoming known that a lady of means and position,
...a...f00d So Ins Uie wtidow of so WM*? m her Majesty's
service, had committed suicide by hanging herself in her
bedchamber. The lady, whose name was Clifford, had
resided at No. 10, Elton-terrace, and being possessed of
ample means, and being of a cheerful and affable disposi-
tion, she had gained great popularity in the neighbour-
hood. To the poor she wee-a-End benefactress, and by
the well-to-do residents she was respected as a desirable
neighbour. There had been nothing in Mrs. Clifford's
demeanour to excite any suspicion that her mind
was affected. One of her servants thought that she
had observed a certain wildness of expres.aou in her oye
on Thursday, but it was not supposed that there was any-
thing really amiss with her. On Friday morning she did
not come down at the usual breakfast hour ; but it was
supposed that she was indulging in a little extra sloop.
In-the course of the morning a letter was brought which
required an answer ; and one of the domestics took it to
her bedroom door and knocked at it, but failed to obtain
any answer. The girl was surprised and returned down-
stairs ; and soon afterwards further attempts
were made to arouse what was suppoAol to
be the sleeping lady. All being in vain,
the domestics became alarmed, and a meisonger
was despatched with all speed to the residence of Dr.
Challecombe, a medical gentleman residing in King-
square, Bristol, who, besides being a profesucional adviser,
was also a personal friend of Mrs. Clifford. Dr. Challa-
combo lost no time in proceeding to the residence of the
unfortunate lady, and, being unable to gut into the bed-
room by the door, be obtained a ladder, and ascended to
the window, through which, to his great grief, he raw the
body of Mrs. Clifford suspended from the bud-post. AU
attempts to open the window proving in vain, the
cluitr.ber-door was forced, and the corpse of the ill-fated
buy was out down by her man-servant. Life was quite
. sheet end the body cold. The cord by which she was
suspended was composed of silk trimmings which she had
taken from the bottom of her dram and twisted into a
sort of rope. No cause can be andined for the rash act.
