Express, were very stormy along the Ayr and Galloway
coasts, and we are sorry to record the loss of two vessels, one
of them with the loss of all hands. The Margaret, of Bel-
fast, from Maryport to Belfast, was driven ashore near
Cairnbrook Point, Kirkcolm, about 3.30 pna. The vessel
was at once knocked to pieces among the rocks, and all on
board—foul men--met with a watery grave. About the
same time the brig Lucy Nettle, of Belfast, from Maryport
to Belfast, was driven ashore in Dally Bay, Kirkcolm, but
although the vessel has become a total wreck, all her hands
—five in number—were saved by the ship's long-boat.

authorities to be very strict with regard to them. Hence
we noticed that some of them wore iron bracelets upon their

Mr. SAM COWELL'S CONCERT.—On Saturday
night, Mr. 53121 Cowell gave a popular concert in
the Music Hall, which was crowded. Mr. Cowell was on
this occasion, contrary to his usual custom, assisted by
other vocalists. These were his daughter, Miss Sidney
Cowell, Mr. Gough, and Mr. Sturrock. The " lion" was
lir. Cowell himself, and his performances, vocal and
otherwise, were rapturously applauded. Notwithstanding
that Mr. Cowell will always be the hero of his own enter-
tainments, the audience found occasion to bestow some
warm acknowledgments on Miss Cowell and the two gen-
tlemen already named. It is sufficient to say that the popu-
larity of an already established favourite is a particular
walk has been at least fully maintained by his appearance
on Saturday night.—Caledonian Mercury.

pit.—Saturday Review.

A letter from Stuttgardt says :—" One night last
week a destructive fire broke out in a house ad-
joining our Zoological Garden. It was a horrible spectacle
to see the fury of the animals, terrified by the sight of the
fire, and by the extreme heat. Nothing could exceed the
rage of the ferocious inmates of the garden, particularly of
he lions and bears, and in order to calm them the keepers
were obliged to be constantly deluging them with (cold
water. The military authorities sent a detachment of
rifiemen to fire on the animals in case it should be found
impossible to save them. Fortunately that extremity was
not found necessary, as the fire was extinguished."
