THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL.

After much bickering and contention The People's
Journal and Howitt's Journal are incorporated with
each other. We are glad of this, and for so many rea-
sons, that we will say not one syllable in reference to
the subject beyond the mere announcement of the recon-
ciliation. Most of the literary contributions are
capital, while almost all the wood-cuts are positively
execrable. Among the more agreeable papers we
must mention the " Summer's Day at Cobham," by
E. L. Blanchard.

STORNOWAY, Ana. 22.—0 n Wednesday last, the
Princess Royal fishery cutter, Captain Stewart, while
on her way to Stornoway, fell in with the wreck of a
large barque drifting on her beam ends, and took ber in
tow. The barque was found to be the Witch, of Lou-
don, Brown master, bound from Liverpool, with salt, to
Dantzic. The chart was incorrect, and the rock on
which the vessel struck was laid down at about two
cables' length from Glass Head, while the actual distance
was found to be ono mile. The vessel was under full sail
at the time the accident happened. She drifted off im-
mediately after striking, making water, and the salt of
course melted. The crew took to their boats, and got
safely ashore. The Princess Royal, after towing her for
some time, came to Stornoway for instructions, and re.
turned, took her again in tow, and would have brought
her into the harbour had not the wind calmed. On Sa-
turday morning. the Mary Jane was dispatched; but
owing to the boisterous state of the weather could not
tow her in. The wreck was therefore anchored in
Holm Ray until yesterday morning, when it was
brought by the steamer into the harbour.—lnverness
Courier.

not
likely to lead to any new appointment.
