MOST EXTRAORDINARY SHIPWRECKS !_Our
readers will recollect the singular circumstance of the
wrecked crew of the schooner Anley embarking on board
the Experiment cutter, which vessel also foundered on her
passage from Liverpool to this island, when the unfortunate
crew were saved, and landed on the coast of England.
Two of them then shipped on board the Castor schooner,
bound for Rouen, when that vessel was likeWiso :lost on a
rock near the Corswell Light-house, but the crew were
saved. So that these two poor fellows have actually suf-
fered three shipwrecks in the short space of six weeks.—
Jersey Argus.
An old friend of Franklin has communicated to us
the following fact :—" There existed at Malmaison a fine
portrait of Napoleon, by Isabey ; this portrait, which had
belonged to the Empress Josephine, was purchased a few
years since by an American, named Sanderson, who made
a present of it to General Jackson, and when the late
disastrous fire occurred at New York this picture was the
only object that was spared, though it adorned one of the
public edifices which the fire entirely consumed."—French
Paper.
THE NEW PEERAGE.—The annual issue has just
taken place of that valuable publication " The Peerage
of the British Empire," by Mr. Lodge, the Norroy King of
Arms ; and we think that it is even more comprehensive
and accurate than the former editions ; it will be found to
contain such a mass of information on the existing Peerage
and its collateral branches, as could have been obtained only
iy the most sedulous research, and the kind co-operation of
the Peers themselves, who, we understand, have very ma-
terially assisted the learned Editor in his heraldic labours.
We are happy to learn that the schism which for
some time existed among the Reformers of Boston has been
removed, and that a union is expected to take place, which
will be attended with the happiest results, and will seal the
doom of Toryism in that borough, and send Mr. Brownrigg
to look out for some other "free and independent" consti-
tuency. The results of the municipal elections have fully
shown to the Reformers the advantages arising from union—
and they naturally ask themselves why, if they could return
eighteen town councillors, in a firm united phalanx, by such
an overwhelming majority, should not the same union and
organization succeed in returning two Reformers as mem-
bers of Parliament, instead of sending one to vote against
he other.—Lincoln Gazette.
Mr. LISTER'S " GRANBY.”—This work forms an
appropriate suite to Mr. Bulwer's " Pelham," in the " Mo-
dern Novelists." It has been justly observed that " the
moment you open the volume you feel in good society,
whether the characters are every-day people (the most
difficult in the world to write about), or like Mr. Trebeck
(the Trebeck), who is very fine, and everything of that
sort, but pleasant, remarkably pleasant, where be is known—
or grave, or gay, or lively, or severe,'—still the tone of
high breeding is over all, and in all ; the wit is the wit of a
gentleman—the information is such as only a gentleman
could either acquire or disseminate." We congratulate the
public on the re-appearance of this admirable novel in so
cheap, portable, and pleasing a form.
LAMENTABLE CATASTROPHE.—MANCHESTER,
JAN. 26.—0 n Monday evening last, about eight o'clock,
the town was thrown into consternation by the report
(which to a certain extent proved to be but too correct),
that a chapel belonging to the Wesleyan Methodist Asso-
ciation, better known, perhaps, as the adherents of Dr.
Warren, had suddenly fallen down, and that many were
killed and wounded. The place was crammed to suffoca-
tion. Great numbers were soon on the spot ; it was, in
fact, for a long time impossible to get near it, so as to as-
certain with anything like correctness the loss of life, and
the number of persons injured. In the mean time, the groans
and the shrieks, and the wailings were most heart-rending.
The chapel (" Tabernacle" is the name given to it) is situate
in Oldham-road,- and was lent for the evening for the pur-
pose of advocating Temperance Societies. Perhaps, on no
former occasion were there ever so many within its walls. On
a minute examination of the premises to-day, it appears
that a principal bearing beam had snapped asunder, which
seemed surprising, as its contents were 101 inches by Eii
inches, and was supported by two pillars, thus making the
spaces only 71 feet. On further examination, however,
it appeared as though the foundation on which the pillars
(of timber) were fixed must have given way, as the ground
was very wet and clayey. The joists were laid longitudi-
nally, the lengthway of the chapel, and not having suffi-
cient hold or bearing in the wall, drew out on the beam
breaking ; the floor fell, and with it 100 or 200 persons
were precipitated into the cellar, and, of course, one upon
another. As yet only two persons are dead, and another
seriously, though not dangerously, wounded. Both the
deceased are females, one of whom was a widow, and has
left one child. the Temperance Society in Manchester
have laudably decided on adopting it. A detail of the
bruises and contusions would be endless. The chapel had
no gallery, but was built in the form of an amphitheatre,
and capable of holding 600 or 700 persons. The door-
keeper had a narrow escape, having only the moment be-
fore been sent to examine whether all was safe, when the
floor, without previous warning, came down. The builder,
in the course of the day, had been heard to say that the
floor was sufficient to bear the weight of twice as much
iron as could be piled within its walls. This gave the
people unbounded confidence in its security. The police
and watch were quickly at the place, and rendered very
great assistance.
