THE SHIPWRECKS or 1853.—From the Admiralty re-
turns recently printed it, appears that in the year 1853
there were 832 vessels wreaked on the coast and in the
seas of the United Kingdom. Of these 360 were totally
wrecked, 70 were sunk by collision, 386 were seriously
damaged and had to discharge their cargoes, and 28
were seriously damaged by collision. The greatest num-
ber of wrecks, 123, occurred in December, and the fewest,
25, in June. 253 wrecks occurred on the east coast of
Great Britain, 76 on the south coast, and 130 on the
west coast ; 81 wrecks took place on the coast of Ire-
land ; 6 ♦essels were cast on shore at Scilly, 11 at the
Channel Islands, 3 at Orkney and Shetland, and 12 at
the Isle of Man. The remaining 260 avrecks occurred
in the surrounding seas. The loss of lives during the
year, as far as has been ascertained, amounts to 939.
There are 103 life-boat stations, and 131 mortar and
rocket stations in England ; 7 stations for life-boats,
and 15 for mortars and rockets in Scotland • 10 sta-
tions for life-boats, and 22 for rockets and mortars in
Ireland.

TOTAL SUP/MISSION OP THE LIQUOR TRAPPIC.—Ths
second aggregate meeting of the General Council of the
" United Kingdom Alliance for the Total and Immediate
Suppression of the Liquor Traffic," was held yesterday
morning in the Athenmum Library Hall, St. George-
street, Manchester, prior to the holding of a large publie
meeting in the evening. Sir Walter Trevelyan, Bart.,
presided ; and there were present representatives from
nearly all parts of England, about 150 in number. A
series of resolutions were agreed to. It was also resolved
to raise a fund of 10,0001. for the accomplishment of the
objects of the Alliance ; and a subscription was entered
into in the room, which realised upwards of 1,5001.
The council broke up at four o'clock. In the evening
a public meeting was held in the Free-trade hall, at
which the Earl of Harrington presided.
