should pay their own bills, truly we are reminded
of a certain passage, which Bishops, we suppose,
have read, respecting pulling a beam out of our
own eye, to enable us to see clearly to extract the
mote from our brother's eye.
We have some hope, however, that next session
Mr. BUNCOMBE will again be the Deus ex Inaehina
of another question of religious liberty. The bill
of which he has given notice exhibits the common-
sense of the question. If the parish has to keep
the fabric of the church in repair, then by all
means let the freehold of the church be in the
parish, through its officers, and not in the parson ;
and if the patron, the incumbent, and the Church-
men of the parish cannot keep their house in repair
on condition of having it rent free, then let it be
open to the parish to offer the church to some other
Christian sect which will be glad of it on such easy
terms. We shall then hear no more of Church-
rates.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE
ON THE NEIVCOMBE SANDS.

LOWESTOFT, FRIDAY.
A melancholy catastrophe, resulting in the loss of a fine
barque—belonging to Leghorn, and bound from Newcastle
outward, with coals—and of five lives, occcurred here yes-
terday morning. The vessel was seen about 11.30, during
a hurricane from the S.S.W., to ground upon the middle
part of the Newcombe Sands, abreast of Pakefield, and in
less than 20 minutes she was all in pieces. An eye-witness
says that, shortly after striking, her mainmast, upon which
could be seen four of the crew, went away, followed by the
mizen topmast, and then the mizen mainmast ; and after
the vessel hadsiven two or three heavy lurches, the mainmast
went, carrying with it the rest of the hands, and that soon
after the vessel disappeared.

This heart-rending scene excited the greatest sympathy
and interest for the safety of the crew amongst the specta-
tors on our pier and esplanade ; ladies were weeping, and
gentlemen were running hither and thither to learn what
could be done to save their lives. The perilous position of
the vessel and her crew had not, however, escaped the
notice of the brave fellows of Pakefield. They mustered
their men, many of whom were at Lowestoft engaged in the
fishing, launChed the lifeboat which is in connection with
the istational LifeLoat Institution, and a crew of twenty
hands nobly risked their lives to save the crew; but before
they could float their boat the barque had gone to pieces,
and the poor fellows were drifting down our roadstead on
spars or pieces of the wreck. Through a tremendous sea,
however, the lifeboat dashed forward on her errand of
mercy, her crew expecting every minute to be washed out
of her, but the object in view nerved alike both their
hearts and their arnts, and they were rewarded
by recovering eight out of sixteen hands from a
watery grave. One by one they picked the poor fellows up,
the last one having drifted below Lowestoft Ness, a distance
of two miles from where the vessel went to pieces.
The poor fellews, in order to have a better chance of
saving their lives, had divested themselves of their clothing,
and one was almost naked when taken into the lifeboat, the
crew of which took off their own clothes and wrapped the
exhausted men in them. We understand that the captain,
three of the crew, and an English pilot are lost.
We cannot speak in too high terms of the gallantry,
bravery, and promptitude exhibited on this, as on previous
occasions, by the bold and daring men of Pakefield, nor of
the excellent seagoing qualities of the lifeboat they rammed.
The gallant men are sure to receive, as usual, a reward
from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution fer their noble
services.
