announce that the British
;anchor in that port, was
driven ashore during a t:ale, and became a total
:.11
wreck.

A heavy gale passed over Valencia on the 26th
ult. It rained heavily for 24 lit.mirs, during which
vessels could not leave the port. The mail from
Madrid was detained at Manuel and at Jativa from
the swollen state of the rivers. The railway trains
were stopped by the snow.
Heavy snow storms fell at Corunna on the 31st
ult., on which date four mails from the capital were
overdue.

A letter from Tangier states that a cara van from
Fez to Tangier with flour and dates was lost in
crossing one of the rivers, and that some of the
people were drowned.
The Austrian gunboat Wall has put in here- Her
commander reports that he passed on the 28th,
twenty miles off Cape Espichel, the Swedish ship
Else, water-logged and abandoned.
The British schooner Express put into Cadiz on
the 28th, with loss of bowsprit.
The Russian steamer Almaz, three guns, from
Rio, arrived at Cadiz on the 30th.
The Prussian war-steamer Mosquito saluted the
garrison on the 2d, which compliment was returned,
from the battery.
The British brigantine Norfolk Hero, on her way
to London, put in here on the 3d, with loss of
figure-head and head-rails, bowsprit sprung, &c.,
having been run into by a foreign bark coming into
the Bay.
The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 6th says :—" The
Spanish papers report that the British steamer
Macedon had encountered a severe storm on her
way from Gibraltar to Italy, and was considered in
danger of foundering. It appears from the Spanish
papers that the Spanish steamer Valencia took ten
of the sailors from the Macedon and landed them at
the Grao of Valencia. It is said, also, that it was
not known what had become of the Macedon, her
captain, and four seamen—from which we infer
that the captain did not consider the danger so im-
minent as to justify the abandonment of his ship,
and that four of his crew stood by him. The
steamer Regina put to sea, to look for the Macedon,
and returned again to Valencia, having found the
steamer in charge of the captain and part of his
crew. A coasting vessel reported seeing a steamer
answering to the Macedon steering for Los
Alf agues."
The following British ships have arrived here since
the departure of the last mail— steamer, Livorno, 13

Mr. Lincoln and the Emancipation Society.

The following is Mr. Lincoln's reply to the ad
dress of the Emancipation Society, Manchester :
Legation of the United States, London,
Jan. 9, 1865.

Sir,—By direction of Mr. Adams, I have the honour to
transmit herewith a letter from the President, in answer to
the resolutions adopted by the Union and Emancipation
Society of Manchester, with reference to his re-election,
which Mr. Adams had the pleasure to.receive from you on
the Ist of December last.

I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,
BENJ. Molt" Secretary of Legation.
Thomas B. Potter, Esq., &c., Manchester.

3To the Union and Emancipation Society, Manchester,
England.

" Gentlemen,—l have received from Mr. Adams, and have
submitted to the President of the United States, your ad-
dress of congratulation upon the result of our late national
election.

" I am charged by him to say that the ascertaining of the
suffrages and the declaration of the choice of the electors
yet remain to be performed by Congress. It would, of
course, be presumptuous on his part to anticipate that final
declaration by a reply to your felicitations. Nevertheless,
the President feels himself at liberty, and under many obli-
gations to thank you for the favourable opinion of his past
administration which you have been pleased to express, and
for your entire and hearty devotion to the best interests of
our country, and the best hopes of mankind.
" I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
" Your obedient servant,
" WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
" Department of State, Washington, Dec. 22, 1864."

THE MEMBERS FOR BIRMINGHAM AND THEIR
CONSTITUENTS.-It is now considered probable that Messrs.
Scholefield and Bright will address their constituents in
the Birmingham Town-hall, on Wednesday next.
The criminal sessions were held at Southampton
on Monday. In the evening, Mr. Samuel, the high
sheriff of the town, entertained the Recorder and the bar
at a superb banquet at the Victoria-rooms. Upwards of
200 of the elite of the town and neighbourhood, consisting
of members of Parliament, clergymen, magistrates, and
military and naval men of high rank were invited and were
present. Mr. Emmanuel, who is a strict Jew, expressed
the utmost loyalty to the throne,- and in proposing the
health of the bishop of the diocese and the clergy eulogised
the Christian priesthood of the present day. The toast
was replied to by the Rev. Dr. Bradshaw, of the established
church, the Rev. Dr. Adkins, an independent minister, and
Father Mount, a catholic priest. Sir Josiah Cloete and
Admiral Tinling spoke for the army and navy respectively.
The-gallery of the Victoria-rooms was occupied by a num-
ber of elegantly dressed Jewish matrons and maidens.
Several Turkish naval officers were present.

AN ENRAGED ORGAN GRINDER.—On Tuesday
last an amusing incident occurred opposite Ro-
chester-place, Bromley. An organ-grinder was observed
grinding away at his instrument, but all in vain, for no
sound could he get from it. At length he put his instru-
ment upon the ground, and, amidst the roars of a largo
crowd, hammered his organ to pieces. He next deliberately
carried the fragments to the opposite side of the road and
set them on fire. The flames having attracted the atten-
tion of the police, police-constable Austen, 49 It, came upon
the scene and took the unfortunate musician to the station
house. After a little time, however, Sergeant Gray
allowed
him to depart, being satisfied that the organ was his own
property. It appears that the man went through the Ita-
lian war under Garibaldi, and that he received three severe
wounds upon his head, which doubtless fully accounted for
`this extraordinary freak.—South-Eastern Gazette.
