other influential inhabitants, immediately repaired
to the spot to render what assistance lay in their
power. Along the coast the site at the time we
write is a most saddening one, the shore being
strewn with the wreck of seven vessels, and at lea it
30 dredgermen's boats. A brig bound for the
Faversham-creek is lost with three lives.

MARGATE, Monday Morning.
Yesterday and to-Jay our town has been visited
with a severe gale, whic4 has done considerable
damage to the fishing smacks and other craft in the
harbour. The wind was N.W., and this morning
N.N.W. Several fishing smacks have been dashed
to pieces, some have sunk, and others have been in-
jured. Early in the morning the Little Rose.-fish-
ing smack, was dashed with so much violence against
the oyster-rooms occupied by Mr. Shrubsall that
both were entirely destroyed, the building, which
was constructed of wood, falling with a loud crash.
Some iron railings and a portion of the stone wall,
a foot thick, were also thrown down. The jetty has
been injured in several places. A barge ran ashore
in Westgate Bay during the gale. She is the
James Bowles, from London for Shoreham, and has
a cargo of 360 carboys of vitriol. Last night the
crew of the Constance, a French vessel, landed
here, having been run down by a steamer.
RAMSGATE, Mari day.
Yesterday a terrific gale of wind and
veiled from the S.W., but subsequently it
to the N.W., from which quarter it is still
The storm has caused -considerable -.havoc to the
shipping in the neighbourhood, and at daybreak
this morning a schooner sunk in the Gull, this side
of the Goodwin, her masts only being visible. A.
small boat was seen near her, but she was soon lost
to view. Shortly after 7 o'clock this morning the
lifeboat was manned and towed out by the harbour
steamtug to the wreck, but no information could
he gained of her or her crew, and it is feared that
the latter are lost. The lifeboat returned about 10
o'clock from her profitless errand. A large Ame-
rican vessel was seen in the course of the morning
on North Sand Head flying signals of distress, and
was seen to cut away the foremast and mainmast to
save her from being wrecked. A London steamtug
went to her assistance and towed her off. A large
ship, flying signals of distress, was also seen to ship
her anchor and go behind the Goodwin, attended by
a lugger. Several small boats were sunk in the
harbour, and several craft have put in, having met
with accidents during the gale. The Goodwin
Sands was the scene of a sad shipwreck on Satur-
day night, soon after the terrible gale had set in.
About 9 o'clock the brig Lena, belonging to Liver-
pool, commande I by Capt. Reed, struck on the
south-east part of the sands. A terrific sea running
at the time, the crew showed flares in the hope of
exciting attention, but it was found impossible to
keep them alight, as they were washed out, the
ship being stern on the sands. The sea made a
clean breach over her, compelling all her hands to
take the foremast for refuge, but the sea even broke
over the top of this. About 11 p.m. the vessel
commenced breaking up rapidly, and shortly after-
wards the foremast went overboard, carrying every
soul with it. Four seamen succeeded in clinging to
it, the other five unfortunately perished—they were
only seen for a short time. The survivors clung to
the mast, which drifted seaward, the sea washing
clean over them. In this fearful state they re-
mained for six hours, till Sunday morning, when
the Texel, pilot cutter, No. 7, providentially came
in their track as she was beating up outside the
sands, and discovered the poor creatures. They
lowered their boat at great risk, the sea running
very high, and succeeded after many fruitless at-
tempts in rescuing the survivors from the wreckage.
Where they were picked up was 16 miles from
where the ship was wrecked. The survivors were
landed at Deal from the pilot: cutter, about noon
on Sunday, in a pitiable condition. Capt. Reed
had five ribs broken and his right arm badly in-
jured. But for the chief officer getting hold of him
and pulling him on the wreckage he must have
perished. The rest of the survivors were cut and
bruised, and in a sad condition ; their nails were
completely torn off their fingers through clinging to
the wreck of the mast.

THE CATTLE TRADE.

•

A special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of
Works was held yesterday, to consider a communi-
cation received from Lord Robert Montagu with
reference to the Foreign Cattle Market Bill. It is
intended by the Government to pass a measure
through Parliament during this short session to
establish a market near the metropolis exclusively
for foreign cattle, and the question submitted to the
Board is whether they will undertake the erection
and direction of such market. In the debate which
took place on the subject, it was argued, ou the
one side, by Mr. L.Taylor, that the Board wasrather
too ready to incur responsibilities at the expense of
the ratepayers, and on the other, by several
hon. members, that they ought not to shirk the
duties which their position cast upon them. Fur-
ther, it was urged that through the cattle disease a
tax of a penny a Found on meat has virtually been
imposed upon the public, and if by this market that
disease could be checked, the money would be well
spent, and would no doubt be adequately repaid.
The following resolution was carried by 14 against
5 :—" That the chairman be requested to inform
the President of the Privy Council that the Board
is willing to undertake the duty of erecting and
maintaining a market for the slaughter and sale of
foreign cattle should Parliament cast that duty upon
them, reserving to themselves the right of making
such objections as may seem expeJient when the
bill is laid before them."

ALL ENGLAND PLOUGHING MATCHES.—The two
last All England Matches for this season took place last
week; on Thursday, at North Molton, Devon; and Fri-
day, at Goxbill, Lincolnshire. Messrs. Ransomes' ploughs
were the successful implements at both matches; at the
first-named, in the hands of Mr. Adams, a farmer's son,
and at the latter in the hands of their own ploughman.
At the Monmouthshire Match, on the same day, the first
prizes in both the Farmers' Sons and Labourers' Classes
were also carried off by the Ipswich plough. This suc-
cessful conclusion of the ploughing match season increases
the number of All England Matches won by Messrs. Ran-
somes and Sims to 120, all obtained since the last plough
trials of the R.A.S.E., at Newcastle, July, 1864, where
their improved plougbs were brought out, and won four
first prizes to ono of any other makers.
THE MURDER IN SHROPSHIRE.—On Sunday the
leathern bag in which the murdered man Juzman was
wont to carry his watches and jewellery was found in a
hedge near the place in which the body was discoyerod.
It had been cut open and the consents abstracted. It is
said that the police are in possession of information which
leads them to infer that the crime was committed by some
one residing in the neighbourhood. Two detectives have
been sent down to assist the local police.

THE FARNHAM WORKHOUSE.—The inquiry re-
specting the alleged abuses existing- in this workhouse was
resumed yesterday before Mr. Lambert and Dr. Ed ward
Smith. Dr. Anstie, the author of the report in the Lancet,
was examined and cross-examned at great length. He
held that the statements made in the Lancet were all war-.
ranted by what he saw and by the information he obtained.
With respect to the inquest upon e epileptic patient., John
Tuckey, he said that, he did not believe the evidence which
was given. He considered that the jury should have re-
turned a verdict of manslaughter against the master. With
his examination the case for the iftiteet was concluded.
Superintendent Newland and Police-sergeant John Gray
were examined respecting the admission of tramps to the
workhouse. The inquiry was again adjourned.
"I have very great pleasure in recommending your
