LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—DUNDALK, October 8.--
During a heavy gale from E.N.E. yesterday, the schooner
Arlon, Al'Claul, 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
BAiviewer3—" His parentage, to begin with; is buried in pro-
foulnd uryiteri. On the death of his grandmother he is
turned adrift in the world through the villany of her
servants. • He joins the Blacks' in eharlwood 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 fo 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
pressed for service in the navy. After 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 far the lady's
person, on a voyage of circumnavigation, This completed,
he settles as a merchant in Amsterdam, but, becoming

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. John, he is captured by the
Moors and carried to Algiers. Here he becomes gardener
to the Dey, falls in with hie lady-love, who had been cap-
tured by a Sallee rover while on her way to Palermo to
fulfil a dancing engagement, marries her, is thrown into
a dungeon by the vindictive Dey, and escapes to Turkey,
where he ultimately becomes a bashaw with three tails.
Finally, having by a happy accident discovered
his wifo and child in the house of the French
ambassador at Constantinople, he quits the service of the
Porte, and returns to England to die in his own house in
Hanover-square.

A DON JUAN OF THE ANVIL.—A young fellow
named Myers, a blacksmith by trade, was charged
before the Liverpool magistrates, yesterday, with robbing
Mrs. Mary M'Shain, the wife of
an engineer (now in
India), of £3O. It appeared that Mrs. 111‘Shain had impru-
dently encouraged the young atan's attentions, and had
allowed him to visit her at her housQ in Greenwich. These
visits continued for some time without.my
criminal circum-
stances, but on one occasion Myers placed a handke 1 chief 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. Ho 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 th© intention of pro-
ceeding to America.
While in Liverpool he basely took
advantage of the confidence reposed in him, and robbed his
mistress of £3O, all the money she had ; though, according
to her statement before the magistrate, he afterwards sent
her £2 to pay her expenses to her friends. The prisoner, in
his defence, stated that Mrs.

Proposed and insisted
upon the elopement. It appears that Mrs. M'Shain has
been married about two years, and her husband makes her
au allowance of Xl.O monthly. Yesterday she appeared bit
terly to feel her equivocal and humiliating position. The
caae was remanded.

WIIY MEAT IS DEAR _We have all heard in-
cidentally of a fatal disease among horned cattle,
but few will be prepared for the enormous 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 £3,805,038, 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
a
R. 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,—Once a
IFrek.
