LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

SCARBOROUGH, Sunday Nigh

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 1(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-
tution.
Alexander Kay, Esq., of Glasgow, has decided
on presenting to the National Institution £4OO, to
pay the cost of a lifeboat and transporting carriage,
to be stationed at Gir van, on the Ayrshire coast.

Great progress is making with the Clifton Bridge,
the roadway being rapidly laid.
A STURGEON CAUGHT AT ROTHERHITHE.—On
Saturday morning, about half-past six, as a man
named Perceval, the foreman of the labourers at Acorn-
wharf, Rotherhithe, was at work on one of the barges lying
off the wharf, his attention was drawn to the ducal fin of
some large fish which was above the surface of the water,
A boathook was at hand, and with the assistance of that and
a rope, together with the crane on the wharf, he succeeded
in landing what turned out to le a very fine sturgeon. It
measured 7ft. 2in , and weighed lcwt. lilt). In the
course of the day it was taken to the Mansion-house and
presented to the Lord Mayor.
A NEW BLIGHT.—A new kind of blight has just
made its appearance in Italy. It attacks orange and lemon
trees, young ones especially. It manifests itself under the
form of a kind of sore, if we may use that expression; a
pungent ichor oozes out of it, and in course of time the
plant withers and dies. No remedy has as yet been found
tor this disease.— adignani,

THAMES.

A VIOLENT WOMAN.—Catherine. Harrington, a large
Irishwoman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with
being disorderly and assaulting two pelice-constables
named Benjamin Archer, No. 101 H, and William Eldred
No. 76 H. _

The prisoner was acting in a very disorderly manner cn
Saturday night, just after she had been turned out of a
public house near Tower-hill, on Saturday night, and on
being required to desist and go home she refused, and made
a good deal of noise. She was then taken into custody, and
made a violent attack on Archer, whose thumb she got in
her mouth and bit it. He grasped her by the throat, and
after some time made her release his thumb. Eldred then
came to Archer's assistance, and the prisoner endeavoured
to bite his thumb, and got in into her mouth. It
was very quickly withdrawn, and the prisoner
then threw herself down, and kicked and plunged fearfully.
She was taken to the entrance of the Leman-street station
with considerable difficulty, and refused to go any further.
She was then carried into the charge room.
Tne prisoner's defence was that the police constables
murthered her and kilt her outright. They twisted her
arms and knocked abohalmser. She was without a mark,
and, upon inquiry by gistrate, she did not appear to
have met with the least ill usage.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner had acted most disgracefully
and fined her 40s. In default of payment to be imprisoned
for, one month.
Although Mr. Paget was on the bench at 10 o'clock
precisely, the applications were so numerous that it was
half-past 11 o'clock before he commeneed hearing the night
assignedcharges. to the ourceisrt, and
business
usinessenough in the large district
which embraces the docks on the
north side of the river, for two courts. The delays and
inconvenience caused to suitors and others has become
very great. magistrates and clerks are overworked, and
with every possible exertion on their part cannot keep pace
with the overwhelming mimesis of the court. The appoint-
ment of two additional clerks (there is work enough for six)
is imperatively called for.

was a good demand for fine wools on French account, but
the transactions for Belgium and Germany were restricted

Astley's Theatre.

This favourite house was re-opened for the season last
night by Mr E. T. Smith, under the most favourable aus-
pices, every part of the building being crowded to excess;
The performances opened with the " Double-bedded Roo,
in which the characters were all well sustained by Messrs
Sam Emery, Gresham, Crad dick, and Akins, Mrs E. f;
Edgar and Miss tdinnie ; but the piece passed off
very quic,tly, owing to the enthusiasm being probably re-
served for that which was to folllow. Mr Emery, as puler-
tiler Pipes, however, was twice called before the curtaia.
With the drama of "Mazeppa," which followed, everybody
is well acquainted ; but the great novelty of this season 16
the appearance of a lady, Mies Adah leases Menken, as
Mazeppa. This lady, who has earned laurels in the United States, of which we understand she is a native, certainly
filled the part to perfection, to use the words of the
"Fighting her own combats and climbing the fearful pre-
cipices on horseback herself, and not by deputy," and by
her graceful action succeeded in drawing down thunders. 01
applause and repeated encores. From the enthusiasm svlb:
wnich she was received last night there is little doubt that
her sojourn at this theatre will prove a very great attraction•
The staff, which is necessarily very large, is well selectec,
the mechanical arrangements are good ; and the new scenlo
effects are excellent. " Mazeppa," at Aatley's will certainly
again have a long nu'.

strong north-easterly wind beating dead against it. Yester-
day again a band of navvies, acting under Mr Rowell, were
at work backing up the embankment with clay. Mr Bazal-
gette, the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
visited the spot in the course of the day, and gave directions
that the work should be continued by the navvies until it
was completed, for reasons affecting the Main Drainage,
apart from apprehensions of danger to the adjacent
marshes from inundation. The great outfall works for the
southern main drainage at Crossness Point are about a
couple of miles from the scene of the explosion, and had
the neighbouring marches been flooded the mischief might
not have been confined to that locality. The districts of Ber-
mondsey and Lambeth are upon the same low level as the
marshes at Plnmstead, and had the breach in the embank-
ment reit been repaired the consequent inundation, it is said,
might have spread by means of the main sewer itself into
those districts, and the southern main drainage on that side
of the river have been interrupted for the time. About
£l5O worth of plate glass at the new works at Crossness
Point was destroyed by the explosion, but the works them-
selves withstood the shock wit Lout injury. Two other
gunpowder viageziaes are located, one within about 600
and the other about 890 yards of those which exploded.
Some of the windows i f the nearer of the two, which belongs
to Messrs. Curtis and II Arvey, were shattered by the con-
cussion, but the place sustained no further damage. It is
said that a man who was at work in their magazine rushed
out appalled on hearing the explosion, and threw himself
into the mud on the shore of the river for safety.

The cause of the catastrophe has been mere conjecture
from the very first, and it will, probably, remain a mystery
for ever. That the gunpowder in ono of the barges exploded
first appears to be beyond doubt, and that is really all that
is known as to the origin of the calamity. Yesterday,
again, vast numbers of people visited the spot, and the
trains were all more or less delayed on the return jcurney.

A CONVICTED BURGLAR AT WORK AGAlN.—William
Wherwood, a lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
burglariously entering the dwelling-house No. 113, Great
Titchfield-street, and stealing a toilet cover, the property of
Frederick Hoy, cellarman.
The prosecutor said that at a little after five that morn-
ing he was awoke by the ringing of a bell attached to a
clothes' line in the passage of the house, the bell having
been so fixed as to give warning of any one touching the
articles placed on the line, and on going down stairs he saw
the prisoner. On asking him what he wanted, he said he
was looking for the water-closet. On searching the place
he found that a toilet cover had been removed and put in
44A / I the area.

In answer to Mr, Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said the street
door was shut when he went to bed, but it might have been
opened with a latch-key. . _ _

The Oxford City Rifle Corps had a contest last week for

two consolation cups offered by the Mayor and corporation.
There were 24 competitors, and the winners were Corporal
Webb, who made 38 marks (7 rounds each, at 200 and 400
yards), and Corporal Wells, who scored 37. The Thame
Corps have just held their annual prize meeting,the success-
ful competitors being Private W. Price, Private F. Clarke,
and Corporal Bowler. In a contest with Aylesbury for a
silver cup the same corps were victors by 14 points.
The annual official inspection of the Ist Warwickshire
Administrative battalion of Rifle Volunteers took place last
week upon the race common. The battalion comprises the
let, 2d, and 3d Coventry companies—the let Leamington
and subdivision companies—the Saltley, Nuneaton, War-
wick, Rugby, and Stratford companies. The men marched
to the common, headed by the Coventry band, and imme-
diately afterwards the inspection was commenced. Major
Hartopp, Major M'Mahon, Adjutant Edwards, and other
officers, assisted in putting the men through the usual
battalion drill movements. These were all excellently exe-
cuted. Having been drilled most thoroughly for upwards
of two hours, the men were formed into a square, and ad-
dressed by the inspecting officer. He said he had very great
pleasure in bearing testimony to the fact that both the
officers and the men had paid great attention to the drill
movements which had been taught them by their superior
officers. There had been evidently great care with refer-
ence to these particulars, and the men kept them steady in
the ranks. During the day ho had not heard any talking
among the men, and that he had been pleased to observe;
for he was sure that they could not make progress and exe-
cute their respective duties creditably so long as talking was
going on. Tho marching past was very good, and the
excellent way in which the battalion square was formed
arrested his particular attention, for it seemed to him that
every company knew what had to b 3 done, from the officers
down to each individual man.
The prize shooting of the Biggleswade Rifle Volunteers
has been brought to a close. The firing was conducted by
Lieutenant licoper. All the matches were five rounds each,
