TEE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' ,CCITOOL.

Yesterday the general half-yearly court of the gover-
nors of this institution took place at the London Tavern,
Bishopegate street—Mr. George Moore, the treasurer,
in the chair. A report was read, which stated that the
receipts for the half-year, including the sum of 1,0781.,
collected by the " eiraultaleous subscription" in the
month of October last, amounted to 4,3421. 16s. In
consequence of the success of the simultaneous collection,
it was proposed that a similar movement should take
place on the last Wednesday in October every rear, and .
that the day should be oa'led the " Orphans' Day." The
amount required to meet the remaining liabilities on the
,new building had been raised, and the institution was
now alogether free from debt. The cost of the building,
with the works in connexion therewith, including gas
wcets, farm buildings, draining, making roads, fences,
water supply, play ground, and all fittings, internal and
extrnal, was 22,2211. Tile architect's commission and
law charges amounted to a farther sum of 1,2261., mak-
ing altogether, with 2,000/. for the site, an aggregate of
25,4471. After paying for these various hems, there
remained a balance in favour of the building fund of
about 6001., which would be sufficient tome-t the cost
of a lodge and two cottages, now iii canrse of erection,
for the accommodaiion of Vie gardener and labourers
who might be erup;oyed about the hoiee, and lands.
There were now in tho establishment 99 bls and 46
girls; of these nine were about to leave, haring attained

faction amongst their friends and supporters. The re-
port was adopted, and a resolution was passel to the
effect that the last 'Wednesday in October every year
should be Set apart as the "Orphans' Day," for the pur-
pose of raising a simultaneous collecti,n amongst the
general body of commercial travellers. The election was
then proceeded with, and 10 boys and 6 girls having
been admitted from a list of 23 candidates, the business
terminated.

LIGHTHOUSES ON THE SICILIAN COAST —A letter
from Pal, rum of tue ISea states that a royal rescript
had just been received from Naples relative to the
system to be adopted for the moro cam.plete lighting of
tho coasts of Sicily. Fourteen new li;ethouses are to
be erected leitheut delay, which will increase the total
number to 28.
THE BULLION ROBBERY AND THE GBRAT NORTHERN
1 RAILWAY FRAUD CASES.—Arrangeroe • similar to those
which were made in the Palmer case, eeid e hich gave
such general satisfactlon, are to be adopted with respect
to the gold dust robhery case and the trial of Redpath
fx the Great Northern Railway frauds. An application
has been made by Mr. Bodkin cn the suhject to Baron
Martin, by whose direction it is understood that the
Grand Jury, who are to meet at the next session of the
Central Criminal Court en the sth of Jan., will be ad-
journed on the 6th till the following Menthe, (the 12th
of Jan ), when they will re-assemble for the considera-
tion of those two important cases, and the trials will
take place on Tuesday, the 13th. By this arrangement
the numerous witnesses will have the comfort of being
accommodated in one of the courts, and thus he exempted
from the serious inconvenience which has been so fre-
quently and justly complained of, that of being kept
waiting in the different lobeies of the courts.
REMOVAL OF A POLICE STATION.—For some time
past it has been considered by the Chief Commissioner
of the Metropolitan Police that the station house in
Lock's Fields was not in a situation and adequate to the
requirements of so extensive and important a district as
that comprised in the P Division, of which Yr. Lund is
the superintendent, his district extending as far as Croy-
don, and in consequence a large mansion, with spacious
rt
grounds, situate at the Walworth-road entrance of Car-
ter-street, being unoccupied, was purchased by govern-
ment, as a substitute, and a nunab.:r of workmen have
been for a very long time employed in erecting the neces-
sary cells, mustering yards, and. rendering the building

WRECK or THE BRIG ST. LAWRENCE, WITH Loss
or LIFE.HARTLEPOOL, DEC. 27.—Last evening,
about 9 o'clock, sea,
the wind E N. 8., with strong a
light brig came
on shore a little to the north ofthe
Hough Lighthouse. Her perilous situation being soon
discovered, a number of the coast-guard officers were
presently on the moor with the rocket apparatus for
saving life, when several rockets were fired at intervale,
with lines attached. The first, it is stated, fell short of
the vessel, and the others, which fell across her, were
from some !cause unavailable. As the tide rose, the
vessel fell over, her broadside to the sea. and Coon broke
in twain. The crew were clinging to the bowsprit, and
and their cries for help were most heartrending, the sea
making complete breaches over them. Owing to the
vessel being on the rocks, it was not prudent for the life-
boats to venture near. At about 2 a.m. a wave struck
the wreck, Another 1 ied cry from the crew was beard,
and all was over—the whole of them (supposed to be 9
or 10 in number) perished. This morning the beack is
strewed with fragments of the wreck, from which it
appears the vessel has been identified to be the St. Law-
rence, of Shields, and is now from Run, where she bad
discharged a cargo. Reference to "Marwood's Regis-
ter" shows that the said vessel was built at Quebec in
1819, registered 277 tons, and belonged to Mr. H. May-
ors, of South Shields :Wm. Smith, master. 28, 1 p.m.
—Six of the bodies have washed on shore. It is reported
that a fresh crew bad been shipped at Hull, and a mas.
ter despatched from Shields to Join her at that port.
