The seed trade generally is quiet, at about stationary
prices. Tho supply of canary seed has somewhat increased,
but fine parcels are firm in value. Cakes are steady, on
former terms.

THE GALE-LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

HOLYHEAD, Dec. 5.

Captain Priest, R.N., reports :—" It is very sad to con-
template the loss of life that has occurred here during the
recent hurricane. But, happily the lifeboat of the National
Institution has been the means, under God, of rescuing 48
poor creatures from inevitable death. She was compelled
to halt for a short time during the height of the fearful
storm. There was no sort of holding back on the part of
the noble fellows who manned her, but they saw the im-
possibility of managing the boat in that terrible wind and
sea, and returned with hearts sore at their first failure, I
believe that, had the lifeboat entered the cauldron of
moving water at that time, not a soul of her crew
would have returned. At two o'clock in the
afternoon the lifeboat went off and brought ashore
the crew of four men of the schooner Elizabeth,
of Carnarvon. Again at two o'clock in the morning she
went in the darkness and rescued 23 men from the barque
Confiance of Liverpool, then again put off and brought
ashore 19 mea from the barque Elizabeth Morion of
Glasgow, and next proceeded to the schooner L'Esperance
of Nantes, and saved two men. She afterward visited other
wrecks of which there are 16, involving a loss of 18 lives.
I never remember such a fearful storm in this locality. The
captain of one of the wrecked vessels saw the lifeboat run
ning down towards him in the early part of the day, and
in the midst of his own deep distress, was magnanimous
enough to utter a hope that she would not come to them,
because, to use his own words, " she would have been
tumbled over and over like a cork," I believe that would
have been the fate of any floating thing but the lifeboat of
the National Lifeboat Institution.
Buns HAVEN, Saturday Night.
It has been a fearful day here. No heavier surf rolls
upon the shores of Great Britain than on this part of the
Cornish coast. Yesterday a largo dlsmasted ship was ob-
served at the north of Shark's Nose, supposed to be about
ten miles distant. The terrible force of the sea on the coast
rendered it absolutely impossible for any lifeboat to contend
with it. In vain did the noble lifeboat of the National Life-
boat Institution attempt to surmount the fearful breakers,
and after an arduous and perilous pull they were compelled
to return to the shore. lam happy to say, adds Mr. Wm.
Rowe, Lloyd's agent, that it is reported that all the crew of
the vessel are saved.

Fisnaagn, Saturday Night.

It has been raging a fearful gale on this coast since
Thursday. On the afternoon of that day the skip Dublin,
of Dublin, was seen coming into the bay, and while endea.
vouring to reach the roadstead, where several vessels were
lying at anchor, her foretopsail was carried away. Having
no other topsail the vessel became quite unmanageable and
rapidly drifted on the rocks, Immediately the vessel was
seen to strike the lifeboat of the institution was despatched
to the rescue of the crew, but fortunately they had succeeded
in scrambling up the rocks, and afterwards reached the
shore in safety. Only 35 minutes elapsed from the time the
lifeboat left the boathouse until her crew landed on the
beach, a distance of three miles.
ST. IVES, Saturday Night.
Yesterday, a schooner was observed on shore on Lelant
Sand, west of Hoyle Bar, about three miles from this sta
tion. There was a heavy sea on at the time. The lifeboat
of the National Institution was at once manned and
launched. On arriving alongside the vessel, over which
the sea was breaking heavily, no one was found on board.
She proved to be the Frenoh schooner Clementine, from
Swansea to Rochelle. It was this afternoon discovered
that the crew had abandoned the vessel in their own boat,
and had fortunately succeeded in reaching the shore.

boat will not be able to fetch the vessel in time to be of any
service, but up to this time nothing has been seen of her.

NEW PASS ACROSS TUE ANDES.—In respect to
the pass across the Andes alleged to have been recently dis-
covered, we are informed by Sir Woodbine Parish that it is
no new discovery at all, but has been years before described
by himself and others as requiring only a small expenditure
to make it practicable for wheeled vehicles. We are glad
to state, however, that the existence of such a pass is be•
yond doubt.— fit azil and River Plate Mail.
GRESHAM COLLEGE.--The first lecture of the
new occupant of the Choir of Music is generally pronounced
a success. Dr. Wylde selected "Form in Music" for hie
subject, and his discourse was able, intelligent, interesting,
and to the purpose. His allusions, in the preamble, to the
late Professor Edward Taylor, his immediate predecessor,
wt re in excellent taste, though somewhat over-flattering.
The fact of there being now in tho chair of music a musician
by profession is to be rejoiced in. Dr. Wylde is not only
well educated in his art, but a man of geed information.

His artistic tendencies, moreover, its he has already shown,
are in the proper direction, and that he will do honour and
credit to his new position there can be little doubt.
