TEE LATE GALE.

LLANDUDNO, Friday Evening.
During a gale from N.N.W. this afternoon (says
John Williams, Esq.), a small vessel was observed
at anchor in the bay with a signal of distress flying'
The Sisters' Memorial lifeboat, of the National Lif-
eboat Institution, was at once launched and manned,
and succeeded in bringing ashore the two men on
board the vessel, which was the smack Cymro,of
Almwch, bound from Mostyn to that port with
coals.

HOLYHEAD, Friday Evening•
The Princess of Wales lifeboat, belonging to the
National Lifeboat Institution stationed at this place
(reports Captain Cunnah), was launched this morn-
ing, while the wind was blowing very heavy from
the W. to the assistance of the ship Himalaya/
bound from Liverpool to Calcutta, which vessel bad
hoisted a signal of distress. It was found that she
had parted with one anchor, and was riding with
only one down. The lifeboat brought ashore the
master, who employed the services of two steam tugs,
and they have brought his vessel safely into the new
harbour, after slipping the remaining anchor.

FLEETWOOD, Friday Evening.
The Edward Wasey. lifeboat, of the National
Lifeboat Institution, stationed at this place (reports
John Wignall, Esq.) was happily the means this
day, during a fearful gale of wind, of rescuing the
master, twelve hands, and a Liverpool pilot, fora
the Norwegian barque Inga, which was found in 3
dismasted state off the Danger Patch. The vessel
was bound from Miramichi, in North America, l°
Fleetwood.

PORTLEVEN, CORNWALL, Dec. 6.
During very thick weather yesterday, the wind
blowing very hard (says F. Penberthy, EST)? a
barque was seen in the bay apparently making for
the Lind. As soon as her dangerous position was
observed, the lifeboat Agnes Robartes, belonging
to the National Lifeboat Institution, stationed at
Porthleven, put off in a very heavy sea to the assist-
ance of the vessel, and some of the lifeboat's crew
afterwards proceeded with her to Falmouth at the
request of the master. She was the barque Salinit
bound from Shields to Civita Vecchia with coals•
The master had lost his reckoning, as the weather
had been thick for some days past.

WIIITBIJIIN,MITRIIAM, Dec. E•
The lifeboat Thomas Wilson, of the National
Lifeboat Institution, on this station, was the means
a few days ago, during blowing weather, of saving
the crew, consisting of twelve men, of the barque
Margaret and Jane, of Shields, bound from All"
cante to the Tyne with Esparto grass, which vessel
went on the "White Steel," and became a total wreck
in a very short time. On the following night the
same lifeboat went out in a heavy sea to the barque
Caroline Elizabeth, of and from London, in ballast,
which had gone on the " North Steel." The life-
boat was providentially the means of rescuing the
whole of the shipwrecked crew, consisting of 13
men.

Bread Riot in Venice.

The Rinnovamento of, Venice gives the following

[n its impression of the Ist inst.:—

" A body of workmen, who had apparently ar-
ranged the matter on the previous day, appeared
this morning at 8 o'clock before the windows of the
Town-hall, and began crying out, Bread, work:
So far the affair was not alarming, but little by
little the crowd increased, and the uproar becara°,
greater, and the militiamen on duty endeavoured
without effect to restore order. Two of our dis-
tinguished citizens, with the commander of the
Guards of the Treasury, M. Yentella Raffael, did
all they could to induce the rioters to disperse, ad-
vising them to appoint a committee to state then.
desires to the municipality in a regular and legit'
way ; but their exhortations produced no effect, and
every attempt at reconciliation failed. To make
matters worse, one of the officials of the munici-
pality, prompted by his evil genius, appeared ou
the balcony of the Town-hall, and applied to the
demands of the crowd by some rough langilage'
After that there was no further restraint over the
mob. They forced an entrance to the Town-hall'
but fortunately the parties in charge had time to
shut the iron gates of the staircases. The magistrate
the assessor Ricco, the chief secretary, and other
persons, assembled and consulted as to what was tc),
be done. But the workpeople, highly exasperated
at the insults they had received, would not even

listen to the voice of the chief of the municipality!
and it was solely owing to the determination of Capt•
Ventella that the second gate was not forced. BY
a happy inspiration M. Zanzi Antonio, a Garibal-
dian captain, addressed the crowd, and by CO
vincing arguments induced them to select birasellf
with some others, as a deputation to wait upon the
magistrate to ask for work, and dernani satisfaction
for the insults. Count Giustiniani declared that the
party who had been guilty of insulting the people
should be called to a strict account and, having Solt
for certain officials, proceeded to collect information
as to any public work which could be commenced
at once. Subsequently the magistrate promised
that on Monday morning the demolition of the
Privo Priuli S. S. Apostoli and that of the °Pis-
santi should begin, and that thus 400 workmen
would find occupation. Shortly afterwards the
magistrate and the assessor, Ricco, appeared on the
balcony of the Town-hall, and the same Garibaldi°
captain declared to the people (who had in the mean,
time, by his persuasion, retired from the hall, and
assembled on the Fondanienta) that during the 6132:i
the magistrate would do all that he could at t'
arsenal and with the authorities to secure ernPler
ment for the men out of work. He assured theme
at the same time that anotice from the municipality
should inform the town of the decision come to
with respect to work to be done. A general clap'
ping of bands followed this announcement, and
dispersed, especially after some additional words by
the magistrate, who said that those woiks shollici
0
not be handed over to the contractors, but that t,uo
local authorities themselves should cause them to !
carried out. Ile further said that a list was opened
A.O
for all workmen out of ealployment who wished '
cuter their names."

IMPORTED JOINERY.—On Wednesday last inore
than a thousand deal moulded doors, with wail
thousands of feet of jamb linings and skirtings, all 'roll,
Stockholm, were sold by auction at the Albert Warehouse,
Limehouse. We have seen the doors. They are well
made, principally by machinery had Irene England, and 1°
our usual sizes. There are several other cargoes to come,
and there is little doubt they can be sold at a profit for
very little over what the labour alone in producing siraila
work would cost English builders. The cleaning off 01
the doors might be improved, but this could be done hero.
Even that part of the work, however, is not bad.—Build
