WRECKS ON 7RE GOODWIN SANDS.

RAMSGATE, Jan. 24.

Early this morning, during blowing weather and
a very hard frost, signal guns and rockets were
fired from the Gull light ship (says Captain Shaw),
and the steamtug Aid and lifeboat Bradford were
thereupon manned with all despatch and taken oat
of the harbour. Before leaving a large light was
observed in the direction of the North Sand Head,
and they therefore made direct for that point, but
the light disappeared before they reached there.
They, however, discovered a large vessel on shore
with a steamer and three luggers in attendance ;
on speaking her the master stated that he did not
require any further assistance, but reported that
another ship was stranded just inside them. The
steamer and lifeboat then went in search of her
and found she was stranded near the Coat
Goodwin Buoy, and that she was abanioned.
Thinking she might be got afloat again, a
hawser was taken on board her from the steamer,
some of her deck load of timber was thrown over-
board, and every endeavour made to tow her off,
but without avail. \Vhile thus occupied the Rams-
gate lugger Princess Alice arrived with the ship-
wrecked crew, who had previously left and gone
ashore about nine o'clock. Being past high tide,
and the vessel being full of water, her rudder un-
shipped, masts settled down, and rigging all slack,
showing that her keel was broken, the hawser was
let go, and her crew of seven men taken into the
lifeboat, which was taken in tow by the steamer.
They then returned to Ramsgate Harbour, which
they reached about 11 o'clock, The first vessel
seen ashore was the bark Lady Westmorland, from
Newcastle to Carthagena. She was extricated from
the sands by a steamer and hovelling boats. The
other vessel proved to be the brig Carl, of Rostock,
and she was bound from Viborg to Calle, with a
cargo of deals.

LAL'I;CII OF A LlFEBOAT.—Yesterday the town of
Weymouth was the scene of a great demonstration in
honour of the launching of a lifeboat presented to the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution by the Earl of Strafford. An
imposing procession was formed, the lifeboat, fully
manned and equipped, being paraded through the town,
mounted oh a transporting carriage, and drawn by six
horses. The ceremony of the presentation of the boat to
the town having taken place, she was named the Agnes
Harriet, by Lady Ashley, and immediately afterwards
the launch was completed. The lifeboat, which is 33
feet long and 8 feet wide, was satisfactorily tested, and
the Coastguard men, under the command of Captain
Barrett, subsequently practically illustrated the use of the
rocket apparatus. A vessel moored off the Esplanade
made signals of distress, and by means of the apparatus
the crew were rescued from their supposed perilous
situation.

Exchange have, through James Dixon, Esq., chairman of

the National Lifeboat Institution £703 10s., to defray the
cost of the splendid large lifeboat stationed at Southwold,
on the coast of Suffolk, which the donors wish named the
"London Coal Exchange."

voyages amounted to .£67,025 lls bd. A dividend of 10
per cent. for the year was declared, and £30,000 was car-
ried to the depreciation account, leaving a balance of
£2,429 2s 4d to bo carried forward.

THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.-
A most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and
clock makin , has just been published by ➢lr J. W. Benson, of
25, Old Bond-street, 09, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam
Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely
illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase
without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly
valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of tce
United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for
themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent
to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint-
ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address
on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly
tecommeua it to the notice of the intones„ purchaser,
