LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

SCARBOROUGH, Sunday Night

The lifeboat of the National Institution stationed
at this port was the means, this morning, of rescuing
one man from the stranded smack Howard of
Grimsby, J. Cooper, fitted for the Iceland fishery,
The smack was at anchor just outside the Outer
Buoy, when, about 11,45 a.m., she began to drag
her anchor, owing to the surf that was breaking
round her. A few minutes afterwards she struck,
and knocked her rudder off. It seems that the
master and all the crew, with the exception of
one man, were on shore. The lifeboat was manned
and launched ,and took off the man. The smack is now
covered with water, and will probably become a
complete wreck. The cost of this lifeboat was the
gift to the National Institution of Mrs. Cockroft, of
Scarboro'.

The last remaining of the County Shipwreck
Associations, viz., that in Lincolnshire, has resolved
on uniting itself to the National Lifeboat Insti-

AMERICA.

DETECTION OF A FAND OF A HUNDRED ROBBERS
AND MURDERERS IN THE MORMON TERRITORY.—
The Great Salt Lake City correspondent of the Hew Yer
Herald, writing on Feb. 7, says The last express from
Bannock City has just arrived, and set our mining popula-
tion in a ferment with the startling intelligence that an orga-
nised band of 100 robbers and murderers had been discovered
in the eastern portion of Idaho, and that some of them had
been arrested and had contessed to the murder of about 100
persons between this city and Bannock during the last
few months. The mining districts—Bannock, Virginia,
and Stinking Water—were aroused, and had initiated the
day of retribution by the hanging of 14 of the miscreants
within a few days, and the Vigilance Committee were in
pursuit of all others, and would never stop the good work till
they had hung all the others or driven them from the country.
The murderers were headed by one Henry Plummer, the
sheriff of Bannock and Virginia—a polished villain that no
one suspected of being engaged in a work which the com-
munity expected him to be the first to suppress. His deputy,
George Lane, was charged with being hie lieutenant in
the business, and entitled to the same consideration
from the Vigilante. The night preceding the day of
execution men were picketed around the city, and no
one could leave after dusk. In the morning the word
was passed up and down the mining gulches that work
was on hand; the shot guns and revolvers were, picked
up, and in an hour or so there were enough of ministers
of justice to see the work put through. Parties were
sent in search of the doomed, and they were soon
" gathered " or "caroled," and brought to the most
convenient place for execution. At Bannock City, five
empty dry goods boxes were placed under the beam of an
unfinished house, and on these the murderers were assisted
to mount, the rope was placed round their necks, and
when everything was ready another cord drew the empty
box from under them, and there they dangled mid floor
and roof to the entertainment of the outraged populace.
Sheriff Plummer wanted five minutes to pray; but the
Vigilante were busy, and as they possibly thought
he might find time after, and as they were busy
just then, put him through' sans cerenzonio. One of the
murderers, a Spaniard, took refuge in a cabin, and when
they attempted to arrest him he killed one man and badly
wounded another. A howitzer was brought out, and the
cabin roof was tumbled about his ears. Ths populace wore
terribly mad, and as he appeared he was perfectly riddled
%.%oqt no: being extinct, they rushed him off to
the scAttuid, hung him up a little, and then cut him down
and threw him on to the blazing cabin, where ho was con-
sumed,"

RETIREMENT OF SIR F. T. BARING FROM poor
LTAMENT.—Sir F. T. Baring, Bart., M.P. f

letter, addressed to A. Nance, Esq., explains Sir Francis,'
reasons for his intended retirement :—" Stratton, Marc-
24.—My dear sir,—l address you as chairman of my °Ili;
mittee at the last election, and wish you would inform 13/#
friends and make it generally known that it is not la in,
tention to became a candidate on the dissolution of the Pre
sent Parliament. It is hardly necessary to give my ref:;
suns in detail. No one will feel surprised that I oar;
face an election contest with the same vigour as I
done on former occasions, or undertake if elected to perfor.-
efficiently the duties which fall on the member for 1%1.i;
mouth. It is time for me to retire, and leave the
fi
open to others. I do not expect an immediate dissoluda;"
and wished to have delayed this announcement until 030
time for the election approached, alai thus have spared
borough the bustle of a long canvass, and all the itaeotrs;
niences attending a protracted election contest. But fcedi
many quarters I hear that an active canvass has sires do
'"
begun. It is necessary, therefore, in justice to my 16°,4
and electors generally, that my intentions should be linati
—that they may not act under the supposition
should stand again and be taken by surprise when the "Ipto
solution is announced. It is net a proper time for 0
issue a farewell address, and I am not sorry topestP°4lo
that duty. My long connection with Portsmouth,
friendships, personal and political, which I have forrde:Oce
there the many kindnesses I have received, the CO
with , which I have been honoured for so many years' eves
cot be forgotten, and will make tho task painful, howe
to sal.c.
necessary, when at the dissolution I shall have
formal 'farewell.'—i. am, my dear sir, yours very truly
