THE LATE VIOLENT GALES.-On Monday last the
brig Stanton, of North Shields, belonging to Mr. G.
Simpson, of that port, entered the Humber Dock, at
Hull, almost a perfect wreck. It appears that on the
preceding Sunday night, about nine o'clock, she came
into the Humber within the Bull Sand Floating-light, at
Spurn, it blowing a perfect gale at the time, and conse-
quently the master ran in for refuge. The Stanton
came in contact with .he brig Ruby, also belonging to
North Shields, when the former brig carried away her
bowsprit, and after she was brought up both her masts
fell aft, splintered almost to atoms; her head, bulwarks,
Sic., were a:lso stove in ; the jolly-boat was rendered
perfectly useless; the sails, running rigging, Re., are also
in a a said condition. No lives were lost. The brig is
1:10,sv undergoing repairs. The schooner Albion, of Whit-
by, laden with stone, struck on the Trinity Sand,
in the Humber, about the same time, and went
down. The crew, after mnch difficulty, were
saved, and forwarded to their respective homes.
The Humber pilots speak of the gale as most
terrific, and their fine vessels were very useful in
rendering assistance to disabled vessels. The pilot boat
No. 3 (Humber) took in tow a billy boy in a sinking
state, and safely towed her into this port, to the great
satisfaction of the master and his crew. Several other
vessels ran ashore in and near the Humber, as also the
following, some of which were attended by a melancholy
loss of life. Near Coatham, where the John Saltcoats
was lost with all hands, another vessel met with a similar
fate on Sunday morning—every soul perished with her.
From the dimensions of the wreck she is supposed to
have been a co,lier, and to have had a crew of 10 hands.
At daybreak on Saturday a sloop was discovered by some
of the Colne fishermen wrecked on the Gunfleet Sands,
and it is greatly to be feared that all hands and some
-passengers met with a watery grave. In the course of
Sunday intelligence was communicated, at Newcastle, of
the total loss of the Hero steamer, which left Shields in
the early part of the week for Stettin. On the 27th ult.,
when off the coast of Norway, she was struck by a tre-
mendous sea, which completely disabled her engines, as
well as sweeping everything off her deck. Shortly after-
wards she foundered. The crew were saved by the brig

THE IRON TRADE OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—
DUDLEY, SATURDAY EVENING.— The last of the quar-
terly meetings of the iron and coal masters of this dis-
trict was hold this afternoon at the Hotel, and was well
attended, although characterised by the same langour
which prevailed at all the previous meetings. The
prices, however, which were agreed upon at the prelimi-
nary meeting were not abandoned, although the sales
were few. Of pig iron, which constitutes the principal
article of sale at this meeting, there was comparatively
very little sold, although it is very well known that the
stocks in the manufacturers' workshops are very low.
There was at this, as at the meeting at Birmingham,
an idea that a reduction would take place, and purchasers
held back so long as there was the most remote chance
of obtaining more advantageous terms. In this expec-
tation they were disappointed. Tho Shropshire iron
and coal masters were also:firm, and a general determi-
nation was evinced not to yield to a further reduction.
Pig iron may, therefore, be quoted at 60s. per ton, and
common bar iron at 5/. 1.55., prices below which it must
ba injurious to the makers to accept. The settlement of
accounts throughout the meetings were satisfactory, and if
a demand could only be created, there are abundant means
of supply. A difference still exi3ts between the coal
miners and their employers in some parts of the district.
The thin coal miners have notice of an advance of 9d.
per day, a demand which the masters consider themselves
fully justified in resisting in the present state of the
trade, and which they will resist to the utmost. In
Tipton and one or two other places the masters are said
to hare yielded, but the great body of the trade will not
submit to the demand.

THE 13EBRIOND.5ET MURDER.—Saturday morning
Mr. Binns, the solicitor to Frederick George Manning,
made another application to the Commissioners of Po-
lice for more money to carry on the defence of his client.
He contends that all property found on Maria Manning,
which cannot be identified as belonging to O'Connor,
ought to be restored to Manning, the husband. Mrs.
Manning had in her possession several valuable rings,
brooches, pins, and a variety of trinkets of considerable
value. She had also some French Rentes, which she
alleged purchasing at the instance of Mr. O'Connor.
Manning had two gold watches and other property,
which were retained by the police. The Commissioners
of the Police, with their usual punctuality, instantly
replied to Mr. Binn's application, and sent him 31. 10s.,
the utmost which they could send him. As for the
remainder of the property, they recommended him to
apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, who would use his discretien in its disposal. Mr.
Binns accordingly forvardcd an application to Sir
George Grey, representing that the whole of the pro-
perty found on the accused, and not belonging to O'Con-
nor, should be instantly restored to Manning. The sum
already granted to Mr. Binns for Manning's defence
amounts to 331. 10s., which will not even pay the fees
of counsel. Mr. Solomon has had the same amount of
money to defend Mrs. Manning. The removal of the
prisoners from llorsemonger-lane gaol to Newgate will
take place on Wednesday next, which has been com-
municated to them. Both of them seem reluctant to
leave their present quarters, and since the announce-
ment have been rather down-hearted.

THE COUNTESS OF LANDSFELT'S (LOLA. MONTES)
BAlL.—Summonses have been issued against the bail of
the Countess of Landsfelt, Messrs. Davies, father and
son, attornies, of Notting-hill, to be heard at the Marl-
borough-street Court on Wednesday next, the defendants
being called upon to show cause why they should not
pay over to the Crown the sum of 5001. each, being the
amount of their recognizance for the appearance of Mrs.
Heald, Countess of Landsfelt, to answer a charge of
bigamy. The proceedings, it is understood, do not de-
pend on the co-operation of the prosecuting parties, but
take place as a matter of course, the Receiver-General,
Mr. Wray, requiring the money to be paid over to him
on behalf of the Crown, in default whereof he takes the
course pointed out in the 45th section of the Police Act,
which indicates the way the amount of estreated recog-
nizances may be recovered before a magistrate. It is
now generally understood that Mrs. Ileald declines to
stand the chance of a trial, and, therefore, nothing fur-
ther can be done in the ease as far as the charge of bigamy
is concerned. It is reported that the bail have received
the amount for which they became responsible.
FILTER FOR WATER.—A very simple means
exists by which any poor family may filter all the water
required, viz., by using a large pan or tub as the tank,and filtering the water (by ascension) through a sponge
stuffed into the hole in the bottom of flower-pots, using
two pots, the lower one being half filled with charcoal,
. one
and loosely covered with thin flannel, the upper
placed in it so as to sink the flannel withit, and then
secured by a string; nothing can be more simple or more
easily cleansed.
THE ALTERED PLAN OF :BRIDGEWATER•IIOUSE,
CLEVELAND ROW. —A central hall has been formed, and
the principal staircase moved to the side. The chief
motive of the alteration is understood to be a desire to
render the gallery and its approaches independent of the
rest of the building, it being Lord Ellesmere's intention
to afford the greatest possible facilities to the public for
visiting his fine collection. A separate staircase has
been constructed, with this end in view, at the north-
east corner, and is surmounted by a campanile.—The
Builder.

We are glad to learn that the committee of the
Derby and Derbyshire Freehold Land Society have
made their first purchase of land. The estate corn-
prises upwards of twenty-fire acres, and has been pur-
chased at a cost of from 5,0001. to 6,oool.—Derby
