REPItESENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.
A new phase will in all probability be put upon the
Southampton election ere many hours have elapsed. Mr.
E. James has not been in the town during the whole of
the past week, whilst his active opponents, Mr. Weguelin
and Sir E. Butler, have been busy canvassing in the
meanwhile. The consequence is that those electors who
intended voting for Mr. James have become very dissatiE -
tied, and we understand, upon good authority, a requisi-
tion is being got up to request our present mayor, Mr.
Andrews, to allow himself to be put in nomination.
Whether or not Mr. Andrews will consent to do this re-
mains to be seen. A raeting of Mr. James's committee
is called for this evening, at 7 o'clock, and the course
taken there will no doubt influence Mr. Andrews as
to his decision. Mr. Andrews, it is well known, is
backed by a powerful party of friend, and should he
declare his intention of contesting the borough, there
is little, if any, doubt of his return by a triumphant
majority.
MONDAY, TEN O'CLOCK ?.L j

The meeting above referred to was fully attended; Mr.
Dusautoy in the chair. The dissatisfaction of the electors
at Nil-. James's absence from Southampton, and his
silence thereon, wa, apparent, and a resolution wai
adopted to the effect that a requisition be got up and
signed by the Liberal electors for the nomination of Mr.
Andrews, the Mayor of Southampton, as a candidate for
the borou,4h. This was accordingly done, and received
the signature of nearly every elector present.

LIFEBOAT SEBVICES.--•RAMSGATE, Nov. 25.---At day-
break a vessel with signals of distress was seen in a most
perilous position to anchor among the Breakers upon the
weather face of the North Sandhead. The Ramsgate Har-
bour steamer Aid, with the Northumberland lifeboat in
tow, was sent off by the harbour mater to her assistance.
At 9 a.m. the steamer was observed towing the vessel
through a terrific sea, with the lifeboat in attendance, and
several !uggers in company. Ai. noon the steamer Aid and
lifeboat returned with the brigantine Sophia, of Naples, in
charge of the crews of the luiegers Buffalo Girl and the
Charlotte Ann, of Ramsgate. INhen the steatnerarrived at
the Sandhead, they found the vessel riding with all an-
chors down, in great jeopardy, in six fathoms of water.
The steamer then towed the lifeboat up to windward,
and slipped her anchor to the vessel's aesietance, and pm-
ting on beard 3 of the crew they veered the lifeboat re.t.-rn
in readiness for any emergency. On of the lugger's fine
4-oared ooats had been lost in boarding the vessel ; her
crew were fortunately saved, and were on board the brig
antine. The steamer, with great difficulty, got her large
towing hawser on board the brigantine. She was then
slipped from her anchor?, and was towed in an easter's
direction clear of the shoal. After getting her under pro-
per canvas the crews succeeded in bringing her round, and
shaped a course directly for Ram, gate harbour, into
which they brought her in safety, and moored her under
the directions of the harbourmaster. Thus the lives of
several men and a valuable ship and cargo were again
saved by the harbour comtni,,sieners' steamer aud lifeboat
aided by the brave Ramsgate boatmen. It is expected
that the first-class lifeboat which the National Lifeboat
Inetitutien has just stationed on Weimer Beach will be
able to rescue many lives from shipwreck in that neigh-
bourhood of the Goodwin Sap,*
