Notwithstanding the absence of several subscribers at Crox-
teth Park Races the betting was tolerably brisk about the three
favourites and an_ outsider in Scott's stable, 'Morning Star ; it
took effect upon Rosalie, who rose two points, but left the

DISASTERS AT SEA.—LOSS OF THREE YES-
SELS. —From accounts received on Wedues lay it appears
that on the 14th of March last the Jeune Pauline, Captain
Perry, on her voyage from Rio Janeiro to Havre, came
in collision with the schooner Te'earaqu^, of Antwerp,
which was on her voyage from Trieste. Such was the
force of the collision that the schooner instantly went
down. By great exertions the crew succeeded in jump-
ing upon the deck of the Jenne Pauline. The only pro-
perty saved were the ship's papers. The vessel and cargo
is reported to be worth 3,000/.—On Sunday night last
the Xanthus, a fine schooner, was totally lost, off the
Lizard Point, near Falmouth. The unfortunate vessel
struck on the Stag Sunken Rocks, and the crew had
scarcely time to take to their boats before she went to
pieces. The vessel was trader the command of Captain
Brunel!, and was on her voyage from London to Liver-
pool. She was freighted with a general cargo. Since
then a quantity of the cargo, consisting of casks of oil,
wine, porter, vinegar, &c., has been washed ashore.—
The brig Globe, Captain Buttall, which arrived at Tops.
ham on Tuesday last, brought intell•gence that upon the
27th of March a large ship was seen bottom upwards.
From the stormy state of the sea Captain Buttall was
unahlo to approach the wreck, and therefore incapable of
giving a particular description of the wreck. She, how-
ever, appeared to be an English vessel. The crew ere
supposed to be lost, as the ill-fated ship was several miles
distant from land, and no boat was fallen in with by the
Globe.

THE POST OFFICE.—On Monday week a
letter, containing nearly LOON. in bills of exchange and
promissory note:, was put in the Preston Post-office, in-
tended for Liverpool; but, as it did not reach that place
in due c mrse, cmsiderable anxiety began to be. felt for
its safety, and hand-bills were circulated, describing tl.e
notes, and off.ring a reward for their recovery. Sespi.
riot; was naturally excited concerning the lemes'y of some
of the parties through whose bands the letter had to pass;
but we arc happy to st rte, that, so far from carelessness or
dishonesty attaching to the post office servants, the cir-
cumstances of the case afford another instance of the dili-
gence displayed by the officers of that establishment in the
discharge of their duty. The letter intended for f• Ex-
chauge-ouildings, Liverpool," was addressed " Exchange-
buildings, London," where it was, of course, sent. After
a few days of fruitless inquiry, it was forwarded to Liver-
pool, with the words, " Try Liverpool" upon it, and the
packet safely reached its destination early in the present
week.—Preston Chronicle.
Louts PIIILIPP2..—Every day brings for-
ward some new anecdote honourable to the character of
Louis Philippe. I will mention two which have just come
to my knowledge. They are, perhaps, trifling in them.
selves, but in connection with his general cha-
racter they speak volumes. A short time ego
Louis Philippe lost a common clasp knife, which
had been the constant companion of his exile
in Switzerland, in America, and in England. The
Palace; was in a kind of consternation at the loss,
for al? King had preserved it as a relic of days of
poverty and tribulation, and it was with him a valued
memento of those days in which he preferred
poverty to dishonour, and the employment of his to
lents ie honest industry, to becoming the pensioner
of Kings. Only figure to yourself this Sovereign of
a great nation, surrounded with pomp and luxury,
mourning over the loss of a sixpeeny• knife, because it
rernirefei him of what he called his "glorious days."
It brings to my mini the anecdote of his pointing to
the picture in the Palais Royal, in which he is repre-
sented giving lessons in geography for bread. " That
picture," said the King, " I value more highly than all
the splendid works of my gallery ; for I have pride
in reflecting that I have struggled as a man with
poverty, and it seems to say to me, Louis Philippe,
remember that there is no station of society disho-
nourable to man except that in which he prefers de-
pendence to honest labour." Another little anecdote
shows the kindness of his nature. lie was passing the
other day through a room in which a servant was standing
on a ladder whilst he fixed up a picture which had given
way. Louis Philippe fancied that he saw the ladder
totter, and walking hastily to the spot, unperceved by the
servant, he held the foot of the ladder firmly until the ser-
vant had done....Eveniny Paper.
