Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the
preeresm of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the
Steam Trade of Liverpool. In the year 1852 the tonnage of
ford= steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was
188,715 tons, while 10 1862 it was 595,339, which, in the year
CO dine; June, 18,13, increased to 756,120 tons.
In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve-
ments for the economy of fuel bad been introduced, steamers
could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of
mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve-
ments in marine engines, economy of fuel and space has been
effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and
screw steamers have not only bean employed in all the near
trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their
cwners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to
fhippers, they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced
Salting vessels.
For some years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been
gradually undergoing a change. In the Amer.can trade screw
steamers lutve taken the place of the once celebrated New
York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of
fine goods and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and
a large number of intermediate and steerage passengers being
Still conveyed by sailing vessels.
In the important branches of the American import trade,
sust
, those of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually
ained by heating during the protr .cted voyages fre-
queratly made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest
of all engaged in these trades will be enlisted in favour of
any scheme for the
heretoexension of steam shipping to include
such freight, and nbe no doubt but that the whole of
-the enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool
alone amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fa:l entirely into
the hands of steam companies.
Yorke first object of this Company is to place on the New
station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and
London, of large size and great capacity, which wilt be able
to carry almoat, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels,
whilst at the same time, from the regularity of their passages,
they will command a full share of the steam trade, and the
Directors also intend sending steamers to the American
Cottorta 'when the war is brought to an end and the
Cottonsopened, and have also under their consideration the
Want of the Brazil and othertrades.
Insrganising this Company the Directors believe that it
Will tint enter into undue competition with the existing lines.
The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carryinsr the
mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers.
The Inman Line has no tubsidY, but nevertheless has been
Most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having'
commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of
lilasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the "
Inman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse-
power than those projected by this Company, which will be
sidled at much Jess cost, and will be constructed to consume
a comparatively small amount of coal; at the same time of
such capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan-
dise and passengers, they will be able to carry sufficient foe
for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex-
pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad.
In order that the objects of this Company may not be even
partially anticipated, and that the stations may at once be
occupied, provisional arrangements have been made whereby
three new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all
respects suitable for the service, have been secured, and con-
tracts have been entered into for the building of others of about
3,500 tons each, and it is proposed to commence with a fort-
nightly service each way, to be increased to weekly sailings
as soon as the vessels can be got ready. The ports of depar-
ture shall be Liverpool for the weekly line, and London to
the extent the metropolitan trade may require.
The ships will be built under the inspection of Mr. John
Jordan—late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry
of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting Engineer and
Naval Architect the Directors have secured to th ft Company.
The success which has attended the formation of well-
managed steam companies has been very marked. That of
Cunard and Inman Company is well known. The Pacific
Steam Navigation Company, whose shares,Zso paid, are sell-
ing at £7B per share, has out id profits given to its share-
holders new paid-up shares exceeding the amount of the ori-
ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on
the increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an
almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners,
with similar descriptions of vessels, but much smsller than
those this Cempa.ty intend to possess, have reaped like
results.
The Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a
Very great success to the undertaking. They are not en-
tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com-
pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, than
those which have proved so i emunerative to severa well-
known private firms end saes in the Mediterranean and other
trades, and have thus the advantage of the experience so
acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient
management, t, ensure orofitable results, are large ships,
with moderate but sufficient hot se-power and great carrying
capacity.
The introduction of the limited liability principle has en-
abled
undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be
carried out by joint-stork companies, which may embrace the
co-operation dt shippers and of others interested, instead of
by private capitabsta as heretofore; the result being that
the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc-
cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn.
Applications for shares may be addressed in the annexed
form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the
Offices of the Brokers and Solicitors, but HO application will
be considered unless a deposit of Ll per share on the number
of shares applied for has been paid.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free

mality of trovernors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—YlZ , that which is accom-

magnitude that, with .had support, It may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. ISloreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it theirimperative duty to make an

of Shakepeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
r,st their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his

The Accident to the Ship Sebastian Cabot.

An inquiry, ordered by the Board of Trade, into
the circumstances attending the accident to this ves-
sel, was opened before Mr. Raffles, the stipendiary
magistrate, and Captains Harris and Baker, nauti-
cal assessors, at the Liverpool Police-court, on Tues-
day. The Sebastian Cabot was a fine vessel of 893
tons register, built at Workington, in 1854, and
classed A lat Lloyds for 14 years. She left the
East India Docks, London, on the 24th of Septem-
ber, for a voyage to Bombay, under the command
of Mr. Joseph Hopkinson, and with a crew et 24
men and four appre:ltices, together with 1100 tons
of general cargo. Everything went well until the
7th of October, although very severe weather was
encountered. On this day the mate was lett in al-
m'At exclusive charge of the ship, although the
starboard well chain, stanchion, and the steering ap-
paratus were broken. The master remained in his
cabin, and when told of the accident coolly re-
marked, " Well, all we can do is to put into the
nearest port," and did not bestir himself in a man-
ner which the occasion demanded. The ship was
about 34
miles west of the Scilly Isles, and the mate
tried to make Falmouth, but was compelled to stand
to sea, owing to the adverse state of the weather.
The vessel sprang a leak soon after this, and signals
of distress Were
exhibited. A vessel, called the
Archipelago, took the Sebastian Cabot in tow, but
did more harm than
good, and her captain, it is
said, endeavoured to incite the crew of the Sebastian
Cabot to mutiny and desertion. During the 14th,
15th, and 16th, the vessel drifted towards thelrish
coast, alid, on the 17th, the 'nate endeavoured to
land,. but could not do
so; and he and his boat's
crw were picked up by a German barque, and
taken to Waterford. Ultimately the Sebastian
Cabot was picked up by a Limerick steamer, and
towed into port, and Was finally brought to Liver-
pool and docked by the brigs Rattler and Rescue.
It is alleged that when the vessel was beating off
Falmouththe captain said, in answer to the mate's
interrogation
how the course of the ship was to be
shaped, We had better go to some port on the
"
coast of Brazil. The first witness examined was
the chief mate, who with other witnesses corrobo-
rated this statement, and the inquiry was adjourned.
Messrs. Girvin and Glover, part owners of the ship,
have had claims amounting to £30,000 preferrea
against them for salvage.

The anxiety which has preyailed for the last few days re-
specting the safety of the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's screw steamship Germania, Captain Drynami fram
Tonning, was relieved yesterday afternoon by the receipt of
a telegram announcing her arrival in the river off Gravesend,
and later in the day she reached Blackwell. Out of her cargo
of about 350 cattle, which she took on board at Twining.
scarcely more than 50 have been brought home alive. Those
stowed on deck were lost overboard during the hurricane,
and most of the remainder in the hold were so knocked
about by the heavy rolling of the ship that they were either
trampled to death or suffocated. When the steamer came
alongside Brown's Wharf, at Black wall, the scene the hold
presented was truly shocking. The between decks and bot-
tom of the hold were crowded with dead beasts, and decom-
position had set in. Here and there a live bullock was slung
up out of the dead mass, but the Custom •house officers pro •
hibited any of the carcases from being landed, and the ship
was ordered to return down the river and out to sea below
the Nore that night in order to throw the dead cattle over-
board. The Germania left Twining on Thursday forenoon,
and on the following day encountered the storm. She had
got too far on her passage to return to port, and she was still
kept on her course, a tremendously heavy sea every now and
then breaking over the steamer, killing or washing over-
board some of tthe cattle. Throughout the whole of Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday the ship was buffeted about
in the North Sea, and but for her good qualities as a sea
boat, more especially with such a cargo as cattle on board)
she must have foundered. Sails were hoisted to keep her
head to the sea, but frequentlyAmevas was blown away.
Most providentially she had an extra:l3fmk of 60 tots or
coal on board, but for which it is difficult to conjecture
what might have happened to the vessel. She was enabled
to keep up her steam, and so avoided being quite at the
mercy of wind and waves. On the weather somewhat
moderating on Tuesday she made more progress for the
Thames, and eventually arrived in the river as before stated.
The Magnet, another cattle steamer, which should have
arrived at Blackwell on Sunday, encountered the hurricane
and put back to Islieue Diep, with the loss, it is reported, of
200 head of cattle. It is also stated that the ship is half full
of water.

LIVERPOOL, Wedaesday.
Between Tuesday night and this morning in this neigh-
bourhood a very severe gale blew from the north-westward,
which veered round towards the west. During a large por-
tion of the night the storm raged with extreme violence,
and in the course of the day intelligence•was received at the
Underwriters' Association Rooms, intimating that the Arion,
from Liverpool to St. Thomas's, was wrecked near Carnet.-
von, and that her crew is supposed to have been lost. The
Kalos, Captain Vaughan, from Quebec, arrived yesterday
morning with loss of bowsprit and other damage, occasioned
by having been in collision with the Windsor, from Dublin.
On Tuesday about 300 Baltic deals, several spars, and a
lowermast painted white, were washed on shore at South•
port. The captain of the Tamworth reports that the Prus-
sian bark Eliza, from the Baltic, was off Ormshead on Fri-
day without a pilot. The Horizon, for Calcutta, which put
back on Tuesday, had her mainmast sprung, had lost her
raaintopsail yard, had her sails blown away, and her crew
were completely exhausted. The ship on Saturday morning
struck the ground heavily twice. The J. L. Bogart, for
New York, and Mistress of the Seas, for Bombay, when
swinging to the tide, in the Sloyne, on Monday evening,
dragged their anchors and fouled each other. The former
lost her mainyard, bulwarks, &c., and the latter lost her
jibboom, &c. The flat Maple, earthenware laden, sunk off
the King's pier on Tuesday. She was bound from Duke's-
cut to the James Foster, jun., for New York, lying in the
river. Out of 101 crates on board about 89 are saved.

LANCASTER, Tuesday.

On Friday morning, on the arrival of the Belfast packet
Selburne at Morecambe, Captain Silley reported that there
was a brig ashore on the Isle of Walney, at the north end of
the bay, and that a large vessel was lying in a dangerous
position at the entrance to the bay. The brig proved to be
a Prussian vessel, and she has since gone to pieces, the
crew having succeeded in saving themselves. The other
vessel reported has turned out to be the Lilliass, Capt. Bell,
of St. John's, New Brunswick, which had left Liverpool on
Thursday. Captain Wheeler, of the steamship Royal Con-
sort, had also passed her, and from his representations a
steam-tug was sent to her assistance, and towed her to the
usual anchorage for vessels bound from Fleetwood, about
one mile west of the Wyre light. The Lilliass rode there in
safety until Friday evening, when, the gale increasing,
blue lights and rockets were thrown up from the vessel,
and the Fleetwood lifeboat, in charge of a steamtugrput
off to her assistance. On arriving alongside the crew in-
sisted on leaving the ship, considering it unsafe to remain
there, and 26 of them, with the captain's daughter, refused
to leave. The weather then became so bad that the lifeboat
had to leave her and seek safety in Glasgow dock. On
Saturday morning the captain and officers remaining hoisted
a signal of distress, but the weather was still so violent that
the lifeboat dared not go to their assistance, and about two
hours afterwards the Talbot, Captain Briggs, from Belfast,
sighted the distressed ship and went towards her. No boat
could live in such a sea, and it was very dangerous for the
Talbot to approach near the Lilliass. The captain of the
Talbot, however, notwithstanding that his decks were
crowded with dead cattle, killed by the storm, and that a
great portion of his bulwarks had been washed away,
managed to run his vessel athwart the bows of the Lilliass,
and the men on board the latter jumped to the Talbot, and
were caught by the seamen and hauled on board. Great
credit is due to Capt. Briggs for the indefatigable and humane
emertions he made. The Lilliass sank soon after, and has
since gone to pieces. Among the minor casualties sustained
in the bay are the following :—The Northern Light, from
Dundalk to Preston, with barley, drove on the Pilling Sands,
and became a wreck. The crew were saved by the Fleet-
wood lifeboat. A fishing-boat, the Pioneer, has been sunk on
the Pilling Sands. Another vessel, the Rook, bound from
Ardrossan for Morecambe, with iron, sank on the Duddon
Sands. The crews of both these vessels were saved. The
Belfast packet the Talbot, with a heavy cargo of cattle, sus-
idea of the violence of the waves may be
tainedusleerdi. Someousdam age, and a great number of the cattle
were
gathered from the fact that one of the bullocks was driven
through the deck into the engine room among the machi-
nery. The gale was also felt severely upon land. In Lan-
caster a large number of tiles and chimney pots were thrown
down, a tree was uprooted in the churchyard, and a rail-
way carriage standing upon the junction of the London and
North-Western and Midland Railways was blown com-
pletely off the rails.

GREAT YARMOUTH, Wednesday.
A screw collier and numerous vessels have arrived to-day
damaged and leaky. The masts of a vessel have been seen
near the Cockle lightship, the crew are supposed to be lost,
The master (Nutt) and one man of the Helena of Rochester,
have been received at the Sailors' Homo. During the
height of the gale on Monday night, when off Winterton,
the Helena came into collision with the brig Arrow, of
Sunderland. The master of the Helena and one of the crew
managed to scramble on board of the Arrow during the
brief time the vessels were in contact, but the remainder of
the crew, four in number, were unable to do so, and they
were drowned, the ship foundering soon afterwards. There
are many disabled vessels in the Wold, which are unable to
proceed south in consequence of a strong wind from the
south-west. There is still a large fleet in the roadstead.
LOWESTOrT, Tuesday Evening,
The screw steamship Rowland, Capt. Parl, of and from
Hamburg for Hull with passengers and cattle, left Ham-
burg at 5 a,m. on Friday, encountered the heavy gale in
crossing the Channel, and had a horse and a bullock pitched
down among her machinery. The vessel, while close to the
Humber on Saturday morning, made a sudden lurch, by
which the captain, while putting out the lead, was pitched
into the sea. Half an hour elapsed before the crew could
succeed in getting a boat overboard, during which time the
captain was swimming. When they got him on board at
last every exertion was made by the passengers and crew to
restore him, but without avail ; he shortly afterwards ex-
pired. The vessel put in here this afternoon wick the dead
body of the captain, and half her horses and bullocks were
dead from the tossing of the ship during the lengthened
gale. Captain Parl leaves a wife and two children in Ham-
burg. The steamer Admiral Cator, Captain Moore, from
Rotterdam, of and for Hartlepool, with a general cargo, has
just put in hero for refuge and to coal. The brig Lamb,
Captain Oliver, of Hartlepool, from Shields for London,
was assisted in by a Yarmouth tug, with loss of maintop-
mast, &c. The brig Ceres, Captain Dryden, of and from
Hartlepool for London, with coals, put in here with loss of
anchors and chains—also the schooner Alliance, Captain
Burnett, from Goole, with loss of foremast, maintopmast,
and considerable other damage having been in collision
during the gale, Several other vessels put in here with
loss of anchors hnd other damage.

SHIELDS, Wednesday.
The Annie, of Sunderland, in ballast, and the Olive, of
Dundee, were towed into Hartlepool yesterday by the Esk
stcamtug, of Whitby, dismasted. The Tally Ho, of Shore-
ham, has also been towed into Hartlepool in a similar con-
dition. When about 20 miles off Hartlepool on Monday
night the Tally Ho fell in with the Olive dismasted and at
the mercy of the waves. Mr. Young, master of the Tally Ho,
took the disabled vessel in tow, and brought her within
three miles of Hartlepool, when the tow line broke. The
gale was then masts

masts to prevent her driving on the
