was evidently making for Barmouth harbour, and
had a signal flying, but as no other boat could get
to her assistance in the event of her attempting the

bar, and as there was no water for her to come in,
the lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat In-

stitution was promptly manned and taken out
through a very heavy sea. By this time she was
close to the bar, but had tacked ship to the west-
ward, and was brought to an anchor about two

miles outside. The lifeboat boarded her at two p.m.,

remained with her one hour and a half, and left two
of her crew on board to bring her in next tide. At
7 p.m. the smack's chain parted, and it was with
difficulty she was kept off the shore to wait the tide
rising ; she was, however, ultimately brought in
safely. The lifeboat crew were again in readiness
in the event of anything happening to the smack
coming in, as it continued to blow strong, and the
sea was running very high on the bar, but fortu-
nately their services were not again required. The
vessel proved to be the Dahlia, of and for Port-
madoc, from Newport, with three men on board.
About 1 a.m. on Wednesday a gale from the south-
west broke over the coast of Cornwall with fearful

fury. For five hours there was very little if any
abatement. Numerous vessels went ashore along

the coast, and the total loss of a small coaster and a

foreign brig, the name of which is at present un-

known, are reported to have been observed. Many
vessels were driven into Fahnouth harbour for shel-

ter, and most of them require extensive repairs. At
Truro two children narrowly escaped severe inju-
ries, the roof of the cottage having been partially
blown into the room in which they were sleeping.
Some farm buildings near Truro were brought to
the ground, and many fine old trees were blown
down.

In Dublin Bay on Wednesday during a tremen-
dous squall of wind (reports Inspecting Chief Offi-
cer Haghes, R.N., of the Coastguard) a lighter in
the employ of the Board of Works, engaged in re-
moving mud from Howth harbour to the Sound,
was observed to be in a very dangerous position
close to the east pier head, and holding on merely
by a slight rope, which, had it broken, the lighter
must either have drifted out to sea or else have been
dashed to pieces against the east pier, the men on
board her, five in number, being in either case in
great peril of their lives. The lifeboat of the Royal
National Lifeboat Institution was launched at the
request of the master of the steam dredging machine,
no other aid being available, and the five men res-
cued from their dangerous position.

BLACKPOOL, Thursday.
The Rev. R. R. Resman reports that about hall
past seven p.m. on the 22d inst. intelligence was
brought that a vessel was in distress at the north
side of the town. The lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat Institution was conveyed with all expedi-
tion opposite the scene of danger, and in a few
minutes was launched into a raging sea. So strong.
.a surf had the; crew to encounter, that the life-
boat filled three times in succession, and with diffi-
culty lived against the wind and waves. After
hard pulling they got within a hundred and fifty
yards of the perishing ship, but at this point so
complete a gale set in for half an hour that three
races of sea broke over the men, and smashed four
oars. The lifeboat was then backed into shallow
water, and rowed up to windward, in order to make
a second attempt, but they could not get so near
as before. Driven back again, they by and bye
made a third effort, and now saw a light held from
the imperilled ship, but flund it utterly im-
possible to make an advance against the heavy
head sea that was rolling, and which for two
hours and a half had been filling their boat
as they courageously fought with the billows.
The crew being exhausted after two and a half
hours hard service, and seeing all their efforts to be
futile, came on shore ; no sooner had they done so
than the vessel capsized and broke to pieces, one
side of her was washed up, and the cries of struggling
sailors was distinctly heard. The lifeboat was again
put to sea in the hope of picking up men that might
be on rafts or otherwise trying to escape, but
nothing living could be found. It was now nearly
midnight, and the lifeboat found herself locked be-
tween two cliffs on the beach, from which position
she was unable to get away without damage until
six o'clock this (Thursday) morning. All the crew
of the ill-fated ship were lost. Five bodies have
already come ashore as I write, and five more are
wanting. It appears by the log-book, which has
been picked up, that the vessel was manned by ten
men, and is the brig Favourite, of Liverpool. She
I was loaded with palm oil and seeds. Much praise
is due to the Blae;pool crew who acted with so
much promptitude and courage in the sad emer-
gency ; they have increased confidence in their
lifeboat. I can hardly describe the sensation that
prevails here over this disaster ; every one is out on
the shore, and many have been out all night. The
wailing of excited women, who thought they heard
, the sailors screaming, was touching. The wreck
was about a mile from shore.
NORTHCAWL, S. WALES, Nov. 23.
As reported yesterday (says Capt. Buchan, R.N.)
the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was
conveyed to windward of the distressed brig an-
chored about two miles off this place, and was
finally launched, but the sea was running so high
that she could not at first board the vessel, which
was evidently abandoned, and the crew of which,
I fear, have met with a watery grave, as a boat is
now drifting on shore bottom up. The lifeboat
crew were ultimately enabled to get on board the
ship, which proved to be the brig Argo of Fayal,
orange laden, and they got her under weigh and
brought her to this port. The vessel is much in-
jured, as though she had struck on the Tusker Rock
off this place.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—This end of the Pacific
Railroad is wakening up at last ; new elements have been
gotten into the Company that has been dallying with this
small responsibility, and a million of dollars is put up to
push on the work ; but we trust this will not so satisfy
the public and Congress that all is now right, as to dull
scrutiny and pacify rigorous demand for the most prompt
and aggressive action henceforth and continuously. One
of the very first acts of Congress, in December, should be
to appoint an earnest and honest committee of investigation
on the subject.—Springfield Republican.
The first 40 miles of the Kansas branch of the
Pacific road have been accepted by the President, and Go-
vernment bonds amounting to $700,000 will be imme-
diately issued to the road.
The Treasury Department of theUaited States is prepar-
ing to immediately issue United States bonds amounting to
$640,000 to the Union Pacific Railroad Company, Eastern
Division, or at the rate of $16,000 per mile, in accordance
with the law of Congress, forty miles of the road having-
been completed. In addition to this aid by the Govern-
ment, certain quantities of land are to bo given as the sur-
veys proceed and the road progresses.
