trousseau. A similar coronet was made for the Princess
Royal on her nuptials with the Crown Prince of Prussia.
The coronet of the Princess Alice is not of the stereotyped
medieval design, but has been selected from the forms of
natural flowers. It was commenced previous to the death
of the lamented Prince Consort, when the marriage was
fixed to take place early in the present year, and will form
one of the most splendid and (in every sense of the word)
one of the most precious articles of the trousseau.—Court
Journal.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—GREAT YARMOUTH, Sun-
day Night.—This afternoon a schooner was seen in a very
heavy sea, and with a strong wind from the east, to burn
a barrel on the Barber Sand as a signal of distress. The
Cai• tor lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Insti-
tution, was immediately launched, and, after very great
risk, the crew, seven in number, were rescued. The life-
boat, while alongside the wreck, broke her keel, tore off some
of her cork fittings, and otherwise damaged herself. The
vessel's name was the Trial, of Poole, from Hartlepool to
Poole, with coals. She struck on the wreck of the schooner
John and Ann, and is within 20 yards of the wreck of the
brig Sisters, of "Whitby, and it is a miracle the lifeboat
escaped, as bad she struck, her brave craw of about 24
men must have all perished. The schooner is now on her
beam quiz.

Last night the Yarmouth new lifeboat, belong-
ing to the same institution, was launched to the assistance
of a fine brig, which was seen to strike on the Cross Sand,
off this place, In a heavy sea with strong wind. It after-
wards came on very dark. Fortunately, however, the
vessel, which proved to be the Eliza, of Plymouth, got off
the sands, and the lifeboat returned to the shore,
