LOSS OF A LONDON STEAMER.

GALLANT RESCUE OF THE CREW.

On Saturday there arrived at Hull three smacks
belonging to that port, which had amongst them the
captain and crew of the steamship Jarrow. The
steamer, which was owned by the General Screw
Colliery Company, left Middlesborough on Wednes-
day last, under command of Captain William
Walker, with a cargo of iron rails and fishplates,
bound for Riga. At six o'clock ou Wednesday
evening the pilot was sent on shore, and the Jarrow
proceeded on her course, with a fresh breeze from
the N.W. At 10 o'clock that night the wind in-
creased, and raised such a sea that the vessel
laboured heavily, and it was found necessary by
midnight to alter her course, so that she might be
kept head to sea. Thursday morning dawned with
the gale increasing, and still heavier sea, which
constantly broke over the vessel. At 6 a.m. the
foretopsail was carried away, and the crew hauled
up a square foresail. After this the ship was hove
to under close reefed mainsails, and heavy seas con-
tinued to break over her. After 10 o'clock she was
making water very fast, the pumps being unable to
keep her clear. At 2 o'clock water rose above the
engine-room floor, and the crew were employed
with buckets to bail it out. At 3 o'clock it became
level with the furnaces, and shortly afterwards the
fires were put out. The vessel was then compara-
tively unmanageable, but still, with constant atten-
tion, she was kept head to the sea. At 10 o'clock on
Thursday night the square fore top-sail was blown
away, and all control over her was lost. The cap-
tain ordered the anchor to be let go, the vessel then
being ou the Dogger Bank, and in 21 fathoms. At
3 o'clock on Friday morning the crew were in a
most pitiable condition, and were each moment
drenched with the heavy sea which constantly
washed over the vessel. About this time a vessel's

light was seen to the northward, and the steamer's
crew therefore made light signals. In about an hour
afterwards a smack's boat hove in sight, proving to
belong to the Henrietta, of Hull, Captain Ham.
Four of the Jarrow's crew got into this boat, and
were taken safely on board the smack. Soon two
other boats went to the steamer, those belonging to
the British Queen and the Prima Donna, by which
the other portion of the crew left, the captain being
the last man to leave the sinking ship. Captain
Walker speaks in the highest terms of the bravery
displayed by the Hull fishermen, who on a dark and
stormy night launched their small boats on a sea
which ran mountains high, risking their lives to
save those of their fellow-creatures in distress. The
vessel went down about three hours after she had
been abandoned, seventy miles from the land, Spurn
Point being W. by S. The men on arrriving at
Hull were forwarded to their homes by the Ship-
wrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society.

EXTRAORDINARY WALKING MATCH FOR £lOO.—
On Monday afternoon one of the fastest ten-mile
walking matches on record took place at the West London
Pedestrian ground, Old Brompton, in the presence of
several noblemen and about 1,000 other spectators. The
match was between G. Davidson, of Hoxton, and J. Stock-
well, of Camberwell, who had been long matched to walk
the above-named distance for the above sum. Both are
well known for their astonishing powers in " tall walking."
Davidson is 23 years old, and stands Oft. 94in., and Stock-
well is a year older, but 2kin. less in height. The ground
is a quarter of a mile round, thus they had to traverse it
40 times to complete the ten miles. They started at 20
minutes to five o'clock, Davidson taking the lead, walking
the first mile in 7 min. 4 soc. At the end of the second
mile Davidson had increased his lead ten yards, 14 min.
25 sec. having elapsed. Three miles were completed in 23
min. 5 sec., Davidson now with a load of about 50 yards.
Before the end of the fourth mile Stockwell by a desperate
spurt came up to his man and passed him. He continued
in front for two laps, the time at the end of this mile being
31 min. 25 sec. Davidson then closed upon his opponent,
and finished half the distance (5 miles) in 39 min. 24 sec.,
and was ten yards ahead. Stockwell made several strenu-
ous endeavours to decrease the distance between them, but
without success. Six miles occupied 47 min. 32 sec.; the
seventh, 56 min. 10 sec. ; the eighth, 1 h. 13 sec. ; and the
whole distance in Ih. 21 min. 23 sec. Stockwell was 16
sec. in the rear. It was acknowledged to be one of the
fairest heel and toe matches ever witnessed.

HAMAN BEALES AND MORDECAI POTTER.—We
must make all allowance for the Reform League. Just
now Mr. Beales has lost his temper; people often lose
their temper when they miss their dinner. A banquet
which a man feels it to be due to his dignity to decline,
and yet for which he has an appetite, does not improve his
stomach ; and when the stomach is offended, the moral
sense suffers. Potter presiding at the Crystal Palace dinner
must have been to Bottles oven as Hainan's rival was to
Haman. When ho came home he called for his friends and
Zeresh his wife, and told them of his glory, and how he had
been advanced above the princes and servants. He said,
Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mor-
decai the Jew sitting at the King's gate." Even so, it was
as nothing to Beales that he had brought a Walpole to
tears, and had all but made London to float with blood,
while Potter had taken the meat from his mouth, and
gobbled up the Sydenliam dainties, not without an une-
uous smacking of the lips.—Saturday Review.
SOME DROLL MUSICAL FANCIES are thus put forth
in the London Review of Saturday :—" When Leigh
Hunt spoke of the strains of a bagpipe as representative of
the agonies of a tune tied to a post,' he said, we are con-
vinced, not of a new but a true thing. There is feeling and
sense in a piece of music which cannot bo hurt or violated
without protest; the melody exclaims on its own score
against its tortures, and will appear to shrink, to wriggle,
to sigh, and to moan desperately, under bad treatment.
When a vagabond assails the quiet of a street with his
clarionet, you can hear the miserable Italian airs quivering
first a reproachful remonstrance, and then emitting abrupt
and dismal petitions for release; but the fellow shows
no mercy to ' Casts Diva,' on the contrary ho pur-
sues that unfortunate tune up and down the scale,
and seems to wring its neck with a vicious shake at
the finish. Why should we not have a Society for the
Suppression of Cruelty to Tunes? What base uses are
not those poor brain-children turned to ? Did their
originators ever intend thorn to assist (with a monkey) in
bringing coppers into the greasy cap of an organ-grinder?
Would not a Christy minstrel or so satisfy those wretches ?
If there are necessities in the case we might slightly abate
the principle, and license the hawking of " Poor Old
Jeff," although not without qualms for the degrada-
tion of the ebony Belisarius. As for brass bands and
their atrocities, they deserve the treadmill. It is bad
enough to hear a tune racked by a single inquisi-
tor; but when a mob, armed with cornet; opheicleides,
trombones, and cymbals, surround it, make it run the
gauntlet, and finally tear it asunder, the act becomes a
crime of unmitigated atrocity. The tune, say, is started,
and allowed about five bars law. The cymbals, however,
are fastened to its tail, and the creature is bewildered, and
refuses to go further. Then comes the butchery, a kick
from the trombone, a bayonet thrust from the cornet, and
a knock on the head from the drum."

CommirrAL FOR FORGERY AND EMBEZZLEMENT.
—Mr. W. North, late corresponding secretary of the Not-
tingham Imperial Order of Odd Fellows, was takan before
the sitting magistrates at the Nottingham police-office on
Saturday on the charge of forgery and embezzlement of
the funds of the order. The prisoner was committed fo
trial at the next Nottingham Assizes.
