THE FISHMONGERS' DINNER.—The Court Dinncr
of the worshipful Company of Fishmongers took
pl 11C3 yesterday in the ancient hall of the company,:Londone
bridge,Mr. James Weston in the chair. After the usual
loyal and patriotic toasts, the Prime Warden proposed "The
Health of the Lord Mayor," who had lately been elected a
member of the Court in the place of the late Mr. Western
Wood. He said that the principles of liberty which formed
the basis of the constitution of this kingdom had always
received the support of the chief magistrate of the City of
London, and that the country was indebted to the metro-
polis for upholding the interest not only of its citizens, but
of the nation at large. The toast havingbeen duly honoured,
thePrimeWard.en proposed "The House of Peers," coupling
with it the name at Lord Ebury. In reply, Lord Ebury
said he thought it rather hard that his name should be as-
sociated with the toast of the House of Peers when one of
the lords spiritual, the Bishop of London, was present, who,
according Lo precedent, should be allowed to speak first.
He, however, felt deeply the honour conferred upon him,
and begged to thank the honourable assembly for. the man-
ner in which the toast had been received. The Prime War-
den then proposed "The Health of the Bishop of London,"
who said that in all the etruggles for liberty of which this
country had been witness he was proud to say the Church of
England bad always bean foremost. lie claimed for teat
Church the power and the will of adapting itself to the peon.
liar circumstances of the age. Some years ago an absurd cry
had been raised that the Charch was in danger, bat by doing
its duty to itself and to its members it had rendered itself
ft ee of silly alarmists. " The House of Commons," coupled
with the name of Mr S. Rolt, M.P., was then proposed,
followed by the toast of " Her Majesty's Judges." In reply
Sir W. Page Wood said that the judicial Bench had also had
its struggles for freedom. Although he was not in favour of
organic changes, he could not close his eyes to the develop•.
ment of liberty that was going on in all the courts of justice,
more especially in the Court of Chancery. In another
country a trial had actually taken place daring which an
absent man had been condemned. Knowing the course of
justice as pursued in the English courts, he had no hesita-
tion in saying that such a judicial anomaly was impossible
in this country. Ile thanked the Hon. Company of Fish-
mongers, of whom he was a member, for the honour they
had done him in associating his name with the toast of the
judicial Bench. " The Prime Warden " was then proposed
by the Lord Mayor. Several other toasts followed, and the
company separated at a late hour. Besides the Lord Mayor
and the Bishop of London, who occupied seats on the right
and left of the Prime Warden, there were present Lord
Ebury, Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood, the Dean of
Westminster, Archdeacon Sinclair, Sir H. Bruce, M.P., Sir
S. Morton Peto, MX., Messrs. J. T. Norris, M.P., J. Rolt,
M.P., T. Hankey, M.P., W. H. Humphrey, M.P., W.

THE DANGERS OF THE SEA.—FAYAL, March 20.
—Oa the 24th of Month the Aconano returned to
this port from St. George, having on board the master
(Clemonts) of the British bark Hiawatha, from Cardiff for
New York, with railway iron, which had sprung a leak; and
on the 18th of March, being in about lat. 42, long. 33, a
vessel hove in eight, and the Hiawatha, being in a sinking
state, the crew abandoned her, and boarded the other vessel,
which proved to be a derelict brig, with only her mainmast
and mainyard standing, and on fire, all the hatches battened
down, forecastle and cabin covered, and smoke issuing from
the different places. Shortly after boarding her the boat was
stove and totally lost. On the 19th they attempted to hoist in
the other boat, but did not succeed. The first and second
mates then got into her with oars, to wait a chance of the
sea getting smooth towards evening, but she was perceived
to be gradually distancing the vessel, and at last apparently
going before the wind. With difficulty the vessel was got
before the sea, and followed in the direction of the boat, but
saw nothing more of her. The vessel was kept before the
wind, and about noon on the 22d drove on shore on the
north coast of St. George. Her cargo consisted of cotton.
She had no name, and seemed to be foreign built. The
wreck was left in the hands of the Custom-house authori-
ties, who were endeavmnrinr to save the cotton as it washed
on shore.
