.RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 30.

shire and Yorkshire, 75i ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin-
coln, 27; Midland, 69g, ; Borough Bank, 124.

A NEWLY-INVENTED BOAT.—The schooner La Sole
arrived, the evening before last at Paris direct from
Bordeaux. She is anchored off the Tuileries, and ex-
cites considerable curiosity. M. Guybert, the builder,
has thus solved the problem of constructing a vessel
with such a light draught of water as to be able to come
up the-Seine to Paris and yet be able to stand the open

WRECKS ON THE ENGLISH COAST. —A very inter-
esting return to an order of the House of Commons has
just been made by the Harbour Department of the Ad-
miralty. It contains an abstract of all collisions, acci-
dents, and wrecks of vessels, and the number of lives
lost, on the shores' of the United Kingdom during the
year 1850 ; all of which are most strikingly illustrated
on a wreck chart. The map in question is of the same
appearance as an ordinary map of the British isles, ex-
cept that the whole line of sea-coast, from the Orkneys
to the Lizard, is dotted with a series of black marks.
These marks are not uniform in number, but vary from
1 to 20 at different places. Each mark indicates a
shipwreck, and its too frequent corollary, the loss of
'life. A most melancholy effect has the chart when this
jkey to its character is given, and startling revelations
does it present of the loss of life and property which
takes place off our coast. The whole coast of the United
Kingdom bristles with these lugubrious dottings. It
appears tha t in the year 1850 no less than 681 vessels
were wrecked on the coast. Of these, 270 were total
wrecks, 84 were sunk by leaks or collisions, 16 were
abandoned, and 304 were stranded and damaged so as to
require them to discharge cargo. As nearly as can be
ascertained, 780 lives were lost from these casualties.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] --11C110 way's Ointment and Pills
certain and efficacious Remedies for the Cure of Wounds
and Abscesses.—The following case has just been for-
warded to Professor Holloway for publication :—Mrs.
Robert Harris, of Staplehurst, Kent, some time since
caught a severe cold, which brought on a long and pain-
ful illness. She was attended by several eminent medi-
cal men with little!or no benefit, and ultimately an ab-
-1 ems formed under the chin. All the usual remedies
having failed to give her the slightest relief, she deter-
mined on using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and
these surpribing medicines entirely cured the abscess,
and restored her to better health than she ever
before enjoyed.—Sold by all druggists, and at Profes-
sor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. A
