S Y FLING OF LIFE 4 f SEA.

The following is a copy of a despatch received at
the Board of Trade from the British Consulate at
Copenhagen :
" Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of
the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, the
particulars of the following cases where British seamen,
during the recent gales, have been saved by foreign ship-
masters, and by them placed in my charge :-1. On the 3d
inst. the brig Sir John Rennie, of Blyth, Capt. A. Turner
master, while in the North Sea, on a voyage from Riga to
London, was struck by a heavy sea, which carried away her
boats, bulwarks, stanchions, &c , and shortly after filled her
with water. The master and seven of his crew clung to the
foretop, with a view of saving their lives. Soon after one of
the crew, Benjamin Foster, of London, was drowned, and
on the 4th inst. another, Daniel Andrews, of Blyth, died
from exhaustion. 4th. While the crew were is the position
described, a British screw steamer (name unknown) hove in
sight close to them ; they loudly called for assistance, but
the master made no effort to render any aid. On the sth
the French brig Emilie Felix, Vincent Marie Nicolazo,
master, of Dieppe, hove in sight, and the master broughft
the
alongside, in doing which his ves-el struck the wreckt o
Sir John Rennie, and sustained some damage. P

The master and six of the crew were washed overboard and
drowned. Seamen George flail and John Thompson wer
able to cling to the wreck until the sth inst., when they
were most providentially rescued by Capt. A. Petersen, of
the Norwegian ship Europa, of Christiania, who, at great
risk to himself, his crow, and his ship, most humanely
launched his boats and saved their lives. After maintain-
ing them on board his vessel from the sth inst. he landed
them at Copenhagen on the Bth, and placed them in my
charge. The two seamen spoke in the highest terms of the
generous kindness of Capt. Petersen, to whose prompt as-
sistance they were solely indebted for their lives. Upon
being informed by me that he was entitled to payment for
their maintenance, Capt. Petersen refused all compensation
on the same ground as stated by Capt. Nicolazo. The sea-
men, John Thompson and George Hall, were unable to
furniSh me with the names of the men belonging to the
brig Phesdo who were drowned. The crews of the late
brig Sir J. Rennie and of the late brig Phesdo have this
day been sent by me to Shields on board the British steamer
Sheldrake, Capt. Barnes. I have the honour to add that
the French Minister at this court, in the absence of the
French consul, after the departure of the brig Emilie Few,
requested me to furnish him with a declaration respectin
the conduct of Capt. Nicolazo in the case referred to, which.
I did. " HARRY RAINALS, ViCO-00USU1

It is stated that. the tidal s----
ervice between London
and Paris via Folkestone and Boulogne, which vas discon-
tinued last year at the end of fortOetoberb he winter months,
will this year be maintained in full effincy until the end
of November, and also that it will be carried on throughout
the winter, although at a somewhat reduced speed. The
preference given to this service velles has afforded
to enable its
ample proof of their appreciation of the combination of speed
and comfort it affords; and its continuanep throughout the
year in unbroken efficiency is the conti-
influence to be fully developed
