The Board of Trade returns for the past month were
issued on Saturday. For the first time this year they
fail to show an increase in the declared value of our
exportations. The difference on the other aide, how-
ever, is hut 30,2471., and it is to be remarked that the
month of June, 1856, was one of extraordinary activity,
since, as compared with the preceding year, it showed
an augmentation of 2,500,0001. The chief falling off
in the shipments on the present occasion has been in
cotton ma,.ufactures. It amounts to 391,5341., but
may be regarded merely as a natural reaction from the
enormous increase of 850,4891. presented under that
head in the preceding month. In a majority of the
other principal articles the totals are on the favourable

LI/E-BOAT SERVICES. LYTHAM, NEAR PRESTON,
July 21.—(From our own correspondent).—Today the
Inspector of Life-boats (Capt. Ward, R.N.) to the Royal
National Lite-boat Institution, took the life-boat belong-
ing to the society at this place afloat for inspection and
exercise, agreeably to the general instructions of the
institution regarding all its life-boats which be visits.
When off the Horsebank Sand, five miles from Lytham,
they saw a ves el anchored in a dangerous position, six
miles further, on the edge of the Crusader Bank. The
life boat accordingly set sail, and ran over some inter-
vening shoal, through some broken water, to the vessel's
assistance. The master of the schooner appeared to be
quite ignorant of the coast, and was much frightened at
his position. He requested the life boat's crew to put two
of their hands on board and to tell him what to do. His
request was complied with, and he was told to slip bsth
his anchors and to run to tl.e northward. If the life-
boat had not put off to the vessel's help there can be to
doubt that before the morning she would have gone to
pieces, as she would have been aground long before low
water. She was a beautiful schooner (the Philanthro-
pist) belonging to Aberystwith, and quite new, this being
apparently her first voyage. Mr. Edmondssn, the hon-
orary secretary of the Lytham Life-boat Branch, was
also in the life-hoat. The boat behaved remarkably well
on the occanion. A few months since this same li!e-boat
also succeeded in bringing into harbour the fiat Turner,
of Preston, which was stranded on the Horse Bank.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE AOAMEMNON.—On
Saturday afternoon, about two o'clock, a serious accident
occurred en board the steam vessel Agamemnon, which
left Greenwich on Friday with a portion of the Atlantic
submarine telegraph. On Friday night the vessel was
anchored off Gravesend with the intention of proceeding
to Sheerness. With the spring tide of Saturday after-
noon the order was given for heaving the anchor, the
three steam-tug vessels which to wed the Agamemnon
down the river on the previous day being attached to
the vessel. The craw were busily engaged working at
the capstan, but before the anchor was clear, by
ellisome
misapprehension. the tug vesiels commenc,d propng.
The Agamemnon, of course, moved forward, and
the
weight weight and resistance of the immense ship against .
own cable caused the capstan to reverse with velocity. 1
The men who were heaving were instantly throwfnuan _
the deck in all directions. Five of them were
of
whom
be severely injured. Five of the etiffereiz,
had both his legs broken, were remove
.ocnneboard the
Widge ,n steam vessel to the Royal Marine Infirmary.
After the accident, the Agamemnon proceeded t o Sheer-
nesa, and it is stated that an official inquiryinto the
casewill be immediately inetituted.
THE GOODWOOD CUP.—The Goodwood Cup for this
year is really what it professes to be—a cup and not a
palm tree, a group of pugnacious warriors, or flying
steeds. It is a noble vase of oxidized silver in the orna-
mented or renaissance style of the lfith century, and is
beyond all doubt one of the most effective anti artistic
imitations of the mediaeval silver work which has yet
been produced. The upper part is subdued and simple
in style, being only ornamented with flat engraving of
ivy leaves and berries upon a bright matted ground.
The handles form an altogether novel and striking coin
bination, and are so interlaced in the quaint elaborate
style of the renaissance period as to present the effect of
four winged figures of Fame rising from their base. The
body is adorned with a finely ex- cuted has relief of Queen
Elizabeth reviewing the English forces near Tilbury.
The figures are beautifully chased and grouped with ex-
cellent taste, and the costumes of the soldiery are taken
from the best authorities ; the features and dress of the
Queen from the coins of her reign. The opposite side
has an ornamented tat:let for inscription, enriched with
bosses, wreaths, and sunken damascene work. The
foot is formed by crowned tritons supporting chased
medallion portraits after Holbein of Lord Burleigh and
Sir Francis Drake. The general effect of the whole
piece is unusually striking and attractive, and the imita-
tions of the steeled damascene being perfect, gives the
Thy
vase the aspect of an antique piece of fay plate rather
than a work fresh from the jewellers. The deeign mo-
delling is by Mr. Armstead—the workmanship such as
only CQIIIOB from liancock's.
