NEW BRIGHTON, NEAR LIVERPOOL, Nov, 4.

The tubular lifeboat of the National Lifeboat In-
stitution on this station went out yesterday in tow
of the steam tug Universe in reply to signals of dis-
tress from a vessel on Taylor's Sandbank. On ar-
riving, however, at the Bank, which she reached
in three quarters of an hour, the boat could discern
nothing but some pieces of wreck floating, and after
searching about for some time she returned to the
shore. It was blowing strong at the time from the
N.W., and there was a heavy sea running.

PENARTII, NEAR CARDIFF, Nov. 4.

On Tuesday a coast-guardsman brought the in..
telligence that there was a sloop in distress on
Cardiff Sands. A steam tug was in attendance with
a boat in tow, by which it was expected every
moment that the sloop's crew would be taken off ;
but as it was rapidly becoming dark, and the crew
were still on board the vessel, it was deemed ad-
visable that the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat
Institution on the Penarth station should bo
launched, especially as the gale was increasing on
her. This was done without the lifeboat's crow
having received any previous warning ; and al-
though the boathouse is more than a quarter of a
mile from the shore, the boat was afloat in twenty
minutes. She speedily reached the wreck, when it
was discovered that the crew had just been taken
on to the steamer by means of a boat and warp.
The crew of the lifeboat exerted themselves to the
utmost, and are deserving of great praise for their
promptness and energy on the occasion.
It may be observed that the lifeboats of the Na-
tional Institution during the recent heavy gales
went oft on 22 occasions, and between 40 and 50
lives were saved by means of their noble services.

GOOD ADVICE.—The London correspondent of
the New York Herald writes :—" If there was any-
thing in the councils at Washington that could be dignified
with the designation of even third or fourth-rate states-
manship, it would at once occasion a pause in the hostili-
ties prosecuted against the South, propose terms of peace,
and thus make the most of a virtue which is speedily to
become a necessity. A sagacious President would not
hesitate a moment in employing all the means at his dis-
posal to forestall the European alliance while it is yet un-
perfected, by proposing terms to Jefferson Davis that ho
would not decline to accept. He would put an end to the
existing belligerence while he yet may do so without dis-
graceful humiliation, He would acknowledge her indepen-
dence in the sense in which it will be acknowledged byf thea
alliance, He would say in the truthful consciousness ?ial
heart, ' Come, come, my old confreres, I have employedsans no

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 7, 1863.

The Foremost European Question now is as to
whether there can be held this Grand Congress
proposed by the French EMPEROR in his MAJESTY'S
great speech on Thursday afternoon. The next
question being, of course, as to whether, supposing
the Congress should turn out to be practicable, any-
thing whatever even then could come of it. Both
these problems are now of very dubious solution.
NAPOLEON M. by his proposition has certainly
awoke the long silence with very con-
siderable effect: but the effect with which he
has done so, while it is thus very considerable, is
also unhappily very bewildering. The echoes of
the proposition are as confused and confusing as
Well could be. Far and Ride throughout
Europe, as the sound and significance of the Speech
containing that notable proposition expand and
expand,
like enlarging circles when a pebble is
dropped into smooth water—wave upon wave of
public °Pinion spread outward and outward with
a Sort of
monotonous variation.
The earliest im-
preu,iou

city under the :tY

(and this dictated

regard to the speech produced

reverse. Yesterday it commented eell exactly the

while to-day, it has so

opinions as to write of it as a d its
speech con_
eaia ing thoughts and purposes very threat-
ening indeed to the peace of Christendona.
A. reconsideration of the drift of the speech,
Par_
tienlarly towards its conclusion, impresses us more
and more with the belief indicated by our reinsrkB
of 'yesterday. Our conviction being that the Speech
is—to put it, as briefly as possible, in a phrase—
Pacific contingently ! Here is a tranquilising or
reassuring proposition put forth by the French
EMPEROR, but within that peaceful proposal there
is latent, easily to be recognised, ready to leap
forth—in the contingency of h refusal, in
the event, that is, of the Congress his
MAJESTY speaks of, proving impracticable alto-
gether, or if practicable, productive of no bene-
ficial result afterwards--a threat 1 It is a 'very
to crack" that the French EMPEROR has now
thrown to Europe—and one that, accordingly as
the Powers c
Europe may
cut to bedeal with it, may turn
full of the milk of human kindness, or ex-
plode like
a very bombshell, scattering around it
terror and destruction.
