LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—DUNDALK, October B.
During a heavy gale from E.N.E. yesterday, the schooner
Anion, Wean!, master, of and from Workington for
Drogheda, with coals, struck on the west side of the Bar
opposite the Lighthouse. Being broadside on she imme-
diately experienced the full fury of the high surf that was
rolling at the time on the bar. The lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat Institution stationed at Dundalk, observing the
perilous position of the vessel, immediately put off to the
assistance of the crew, whom she afterwards safely brought
ashore.

MR. SALA'S "ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN DAN-
GEROUS"—rapidly summed up by a Saturday
Reviewer—" His parentage, to begin with, is buried in pro-
found mystery. On the death of his grandmother he is
turned adrift in the world through the villany of her
servants. He joins the' Blacks' in Charlwood Chase—the
Blacks being a gang of Jacobite outlaws, who disguised
their faces, and led the same sort of merry life as Robin
Hood. He is arrested with the rest of his companions, and
sent to Aylesbury to be tried. Here he is condemned to
death, but is afterwards pardoned and sent out to the West
Indies, where he becomes book-keeper to a slaveowner. Re.
turning from Jamaica to the Low Countries, he
turns servant to a young gentleman who is making
the grand tour with his chaplain. Next he is
i pressed for service n the navy. Atter that,
he is installed as a warder in the Tower of London.
Throwing up that post, he becomes a gambler and man
about town, and marries a lady who had already two hus-
bands. To escape from this embarrassment, he starts, in
company with a sea •captain, one of his rivals for the lady's
pe
rson, on a voyage of circumnavigation,. This completed,
bankrupt through the roguery of a fraudulent partner, he
fih iee erssseott e as
. tno Brussels,a merchantw here in Amsterdam, but, becoming
he sets up as a schoolmaster.
From Brussels he passes on Ito Paris, and is just in
time to make acquaintance with Damiens, and to wit-
ness the horrible tortures which followed his abor-
tive attempt to assassinate Louis XV. In the French
capital he turns opera-dancer, and falls in love with a
little dancing girl, whom he saves from being burnt to
death ; and soon after he is employed as a spy by a certain
nameless Cardinal. Going on a mission to Malta, where he
finds his old leader, the Captain of the Blacks, in the habit
of a Knight of the Order of St. jam, he is captured by the
Moors and carried to Algiers. Here he becomes gardener
to the Dey, falls in with his lady-love, who had been cap.

A DON JUAN OF THE
blacksmith by trade, was charged
Mrsbefore the Liver
‘Shain, tpool magistrate.s, esterday, with robbing
. Mary Mhe wife oyf
an engineer (now in
X‘Shain had impru-
India), of S3O. It appeared that Mrt!.
dently encouraged the young mans
.attentions, and had
allowed him to visit her at her house in Greenwich. These
visits continued for some time withou. t any criminal circum-
stances, but on one occasion Myers placed a handkerchief to
Mrs. M'Shain's face, and she speedily became insensible.
When she recovered herself she found herself in bed, and
Myers by her side. He implored her not to divulge his con-
duct, and she consented. After this Myers obtained com-
plete ascendancy over her, and, on
Tuesday last he induced
her to fly with him to Liverpool with the intention of pro-
ceeding to America. While
in Liv
in erp?oi he basely took
advantage of the confidence reposed
him, and robbed his
mistress of £3O, all the money
she had ; though, according
to her statement before the magistrate, ho afterwards sent
hor £2 to pay her expenses to her friends. The prisoner, in
his defence, stated that Mrs. MiSham Was cnciente when
he first knew her, and that she had Proposed and insisted
upon the elopement. It appears that Alm M‘Shain has
been married about two years, and her husband makes her
an allowance of £lO monthly. Yesterday she appeared bit-
terly to feel her equivocal and humiliating position. The
case was remanded.

WHY MEAT IS DEAR.---We have all heard in-
cidentally of a fatal disease among horned cattle,
but few will be prepared far the 00r/flouts mortality that
has been going on for years, decimating these beasts. Mr.
Gamgee tells us that in the year 1860 no less than 374,048
horned cattle, worth £3,805,938, perished of disease, and
.
that during the six years ending in 1860, the total loss was
2,255,000, valued at £25,934,650. Taking this tremendous
mortality into consideration, we think we need not complain
at having to pay a penny pound dearer
.for our beef than
we used to do. The reduction of the tariff, Which gave Sir
IL Peel such undying fame, and which Was to have made
England the market of the world for corn and cattle, has
unfortuately totally failed to fulfil the promises of free-
traders in respect to the latter item, as far as the consumers
are concerned, inasmuch as we imported what we did not
bargain for--a disease hitherto unknown to our stock-
breeders, which has actually swept off four times as many
beasts as have been imported into these islands.--pace a
