SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE.—The afterno.n
,nd eveuing of Friday last, says the Ayrshire
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, Kirke°lm, about 3.30 p.m. The vessel
was at once knocked to pieces among the rocks, and all on
board—four men—met with a watery grave. About the
same time the brig Lucy Neale, of Belfast, from Maryport
to Belfast, was driven ashore in Daily 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.
THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—Mr. Kirkman Daniel
Hodg on, M.P. for Poole, will be the Governor of the
Bank of England during the next two years, in the room of
Mr. Letham, whose term of office has nearly expired. The
election Lill take place on Tuesday, April 7.
GOING TO THE CAMP.—Another departure of
draughted men has taken place, some of them in chains.
The tendency of these men to skedaddle has compelled the
authorities to be very strict with regard to them. Hence
we noticed that some of them wore iron bracelets upon their
wri-ts.—Detroit .Free Press.

GLASGOW, March 28.—Cotton.--The cotton
market was steady in the early part of the week,
but closes with rather a buoyant tendency. Goods and
Yarns—A fair amount of business has been !one during
the week at full rates. Iron—The pig iron market opened
firmly on Monday last, at 52s cash, and 68s 6d three months
open, but the improvement was shortlived, a reaction
almost immaliately setting in, and to this date prices have
been reached, viz., 31s 34 cash, and 51s 9d three months,
which are the nominal closing quotations. Shipping par-
cels may be quoted :—G. M. B, No. 1. 51s 3d ; No. 3,50 s

Mr. SAM COWELL'S CoNCERT.—On S itUrday
night, Mr. Sim Cowell gave a popular concert in
•he 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
gr. Cowell himsel', 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 nom ..wledgments on Miss Cowell and the two gen-
lemen already named. It is sufficient to say that the popu-
larity of an already established favourite in a particular
walk has been at least fully maintained by his appearance
nn Saturday night.—Caledonian Mercury.
CLAPTRAPS !—On the stage, whenever the faith
ful servant falls to slobbering his master's hand, or crying
and laughing alternately over the strawberry-mark of the
restored heir, there is always much sniffling in the gallery,
and a copious use of pocket-hanakerehiels in the genteeler
pit.—Saturday Review.
A COLONIAL LAW FOR DRUNKARDS.—In the
Act for the Regulation of Public-houzes in the pro-
vince of Canterbury, New Zealand, there is a clause pro-
viding that if it is proved to the satisfaction of two Justices
that any person has become an habitual drunkard, and is
injuring his health or wasting his substance by excessive
drinking, the Justices aro to issue and send to every pub-
lic-house, and publish in every newsp ,per, a notice prohi-
biting all persons from supplying him with spirituous or
fermented liquors, except upon the certificate of medical
practitioners that the liquor is required as a medicine. The
penalty for their knowingly supplying him is a fine or im-
prisonment, The notice continues in force for two years.
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
the lions and bears, and in order to cam them the keepers
were obliged to be constantly deluging them with ;cold
water. The military authorities sent a detachment of
riflemen to fire on the animals in case it should be found
impossible to save them. Fortunate') that extremity was
not found necessary, as the fire was extinguished."
