wanted. A moment later, and nothing could be
done. The lifeboat is a complete wreck, The oars
were torn out of the hands of the crew and row-
locks, and the helpless boat was thrown up and
down like a ball in front of the sea-wall; and how
the men kept in her at all is beyond the powers of
imagination. Nothing could upset her, not even
her dashing against the wllll, where the sea was
breaking at times 20 feet high. Mrs. Cockroft, of
Scarborougli,las generously offered to give the cost
of a new lifeboat. The proper coxswain of the life-
boat and the enrolled crew, except one, were absent
at sea. Lord C. Beauclerk and Mr. Tindall were
crushed to death." The National Lifeboat Institu-
tion has taken immediate steps to replace the
wrecked boat by another powerful lifeboat, which
is expected to arrive from London, by railway, at
Scarborough in the course of a few days.

Accounts of wrecks have been received from
numerous lifeboat stations, but beyond the melan-
choly cases already reported, no loss of life is
mentioned. The Newcastle Chronicle, however,
reports a sad occurrence at Sunderland. A vessel
had been driven ashore, and the crew took to the
rigging. Three rockets were fired, but they all
missed their aim. At this juncture (the ship
lying not far from the shore) a young sailor
seized the rocket line, and, running in with the
retreating wave, succeeded in throwing it on
board the vessel. The tide, unhappily, came round
the vessel's stern in a " back sweep," and the poor
fellow was swept out to sea. His comrade, who
was behind him, was also caught in the sweep, but
Was rescued. The young man who was drowned
belonged to Stockton. His name was Edward
Welsh.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

During the last few days there has been rather
less animation in the foreign and colonial produce
markets, and prices generally have shown dimi-
nished firmness. Tea, however, has maintained
former rates; inferior qualities of sugar have
slightly declined, while late rates have been barely
maintained for coffee, rice, fruit, and saltpetre.
Tallow has been in moderate request, at full prices
for present and forward delivery.
The commercial engagements of the 4th of the
month having been liquidated, there is less demand
for discount accommodation, and as the rates con-
tinue to range as low as 2f per cent., it is thought
the directors of the Bank of England may at their
meeting to-morrow reduce the minimum quotation
to 3 per cent. Owing, however, to the extreme
easiness already experienced, the subject does not
appear to engage much attention in monetary and
commercial circles.

The directors of the Bank of Turkey have given
notice that they are prepared to return £3 per
