SIR,—I have the honour to acquaint you that yester-

when about nine miles E.S.E. off Aldborough, on
so the coast of. Suffolk, we fell in with the wreck of a
vessel of

dan-
gerous a place for shipping, I deemed it my duty to
endeavour to tow it into the nearest beach, and for this
purpose we made fast our largest hawsers to it, but after
two hours ineffectual attempt, during which our hawsers
were carried away, we were compelled to abandon it..
There was no broad arrow or mark or name on the
copper or copper-bolts, by which the vessel could be
recognized ; but, on being taken in tow, she turned her-
self up, and showed that she was broken off at the floor-
heads, and in a part of her counter which remained was
a raft-post. .

SUNDAY TRAVELLING.

A meeting of the Directors of the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway Company was held upon Tuesday, and
terminated in the defeat of the party opposed to all
travelling on the railway on Sunday. An incorrect
statement of the proceedings having appeared in a Con-
temporary of yesterday morning, we have prociired
copies of the motion and amendment which were actually
submitted to the meeting.
The motion, of which previous notice had been given,
was as follows :—" That there be no travelling on the
railway on Sabbath, unless compelled by the Government."
The effect of this motion, if carried, would, as we be-
lieve was stated at the meeting, be not only to negative
Sunday trading, but to deprive the Shareholders of any
opportunity of expressing their opinions on the subject,
as the Act confers on the Board of Directors the exclusive
power of regulating all matters connected with the pas-
senger traffic. The amendment opposed to the above
was in the following terms :—" That it is the opinion of
this Board that it is their duty to provide trains for•the
accommodation of the Post-office and the public, one in
the 'Morning and one in the evening of Sunday, from the
cities
.of Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively—and
Under-snch rules and regulations as shall enable the ser-
Variti'Of the Company, and all 'others travelling on the
railway, to attend divine service. ,But as this is a ques-
tion on which it is proper to, consult the Shareholders
generally, the Board refers the decision of that question
to a general meeting of the Company."
Upon a division taking place, the amendment was de-.
clared to be carried by a majority of 10 against 8.
The mover of the amendment then mentioned that he
held in his hands a letter from one of the six absent
Directors, authorising him to state his cordial concur-
rence in the principle embodied in it—that letters from
two of the other absent Directors were in the hands of

the Chairman, also adopting the same view—and that of
the remaining three he could take upon himself to sad•
that at least one would have voted with him, if his
engagements had allowed of his being present.
