HEAVY GALES.-LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

DONNA NOOK, LINCOLNSHIRE, Tuesday.

One of the worst gales experienced for years is
now raging on this coast (says Mr. W. Robinson),
and five vessels have gone ashore, one of which is
completely swept down to her hull. The crew of
twenty-six men of the steam whaler Diana, of Hull,
bound from Davis Straits, have been saved by the
Donna Nook lifeboat North Briton, belonging to
the National Lifeboat Institution. In fact, lam
happy to report that all hands have been rescued
from the stranded ships, but we fear that some
other vessels have sunk. The whaler will go to
pieces when the tide turns. There are other vessels
which are not likely to brave the storm, but the
lifeboat is ready to assist them if necessary.
ILFRACOMBE, NORTH DEVON (Tuesday).
We have had a very exciting scene here this
afternoon (states N. Vye, Esq., J.P.) About three
o'clock, while a gale from the north was blowing
into the harbour, and a heavy sea was running, a
sloop with her sails blown away was seen in a very
perilous position about a mile and a half to the
north-west of Capstone Hill. The lifeboat,
Broadwater, of the National Institution, was
at once launched, and went to the assistance
of the vessel, which proved to be the Ann Eliza-
beth of Barnstaple, laden with coals. Two of the
lifeboat men were placed on board the sloop, and
she was safely brought into harbour. On entering
she very nearly foundered, having a quantity
of water on board. The lifeboat behaved very
well, and the spectators were all greatly pleased
with her performances.

BROADSTAIRS, Wednesday Morning.

Captain Elyard reports that the Samuel Morrison
Collins lifeboat, of the Lifeboat Society, was hap-
pily the means of saving the master and twelve of
the crew on the occasion of the wreck of the
Frank Shaw, of North Shields, on the Goodwin
Sands last night.

POLICE IN TELL ICi EN CE.—Mis Day.

MARLBOItOUGLI-STREET.

ROBBERY AND RECElVlNG.—Catherine Burke, a young
woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing
a quantity of property belonging to her employer, Mr.
Young of the Burlington Arcade ; and Win. Edger and
Eliza Morgan were charged with receiving some of the
property with a guilty knowledge.

Mr. Rolland appeared for Edger.
From the evidence it appeared that after Burke had
been in the service of Mr. Young five days, a quantity of
property was missed, and on Sergeant Gould and Walker,
two divisional detectives, being communicated with, they
took Burke into custody, and finding that the other pri-
soner had received some of the property, which con-
sisted of a gold watch, earrings, and fancy articles, alto-
gether of the value of £l5, they also apprehended them.
Mr. Rolland aldressod the magistrate on behalf of
Edger, and said that he was a young man of good cha-
racter, and had been in respectable employ for some time
past, that he had been keeping company with Burke, and
that all he had done was to receive some articles from
Burke, she having asked him to mind them for her.

Walker said that he had seen Edger out at all hours of
the night, and in bad company.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should commit all tho prisoners
for trial, but would take two bail in £2O each for Edger.
At tho request of the police, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should
requiro notice of bail.
