THE SUN, LOND:ON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1857.

out the foregoing plan for saving sixty thotisand pounds a
year to the ratepayers of Glasgow are of the most simple
character, viz., to have the Corporation notes designed
with the city arms and other emblems of genius and in-
dustry, executed in the most perfect style of art, at least
equal to the best finished bank notes. That these notes
he legally drawn and properly signed by the parties ap-
pointed for that purpose ; and that all payments ordered
by the corporation shall be male only in these notes and
in no other money, except for any less sum than one
pound. That, when these notes were received by the
agents of the corporation, they shall be defaced by stamp
properly filed, and carefully locked up until ordered to be
destroyed, as it is not intended that any note, when re-
ceived in payment by the Corporation, should again be re-
issued. All bankers' notes or other money received in pay-
ment of rates, &c., to be regularly placed to the credit
of the Corporation in such bankers' hands as will re-
ceive the Corporation notes, with whom a periodical
exchange of notes and balance of accounts to be duly
made.

11. That should any alteration be requisite in the Par-
liamentary Acts of the Corporation to authorise it to adopt
and carry out foregoing plan, the new act proposed for
the further extension of the Clyde Trust offers a very fa-
vourable opportunity for obtaining legislative powers to
make and issue representative money, instead of borrowing
it on mortgage at interest.
12. Lastly, your memorialhits respectfully but earnestly
recommend yoir honourable Corporation to take immediate
measures for issuing Corporation money, which will confer
great advantages upon the ratepayers in particular, and
promote the prosperity of Glasgow in general.
And, as in duty bound, your memorialists will ever
pray.

HEAVY GALE.
Some of the life boats of the Royal National Life
Boat -Institution were, during the awful gale which
visited the coast on Sunday last, instrumental in saving
many lives from shipwreck.
On that day the Hauxley (Northumberland) life boat,
manned by 12 men, put off and rescued 11 men from the
brig Sophie, of Oporto. The sea was at the time making
a complete breach over the vessel, which soon afterwards
went to pieces.
Later in the day the same life boat went off again,
manned by the same intrepid crew, and saved the crew
of the Georgina, of Inverness, which, in stress of weather,
had run on shore ❑ear Hauxley. This vessel is also ex-
pected to become a total wreck.
On the same day (Sunday) the Filet' life boat put off
and rescued the crew of I hands of the brig Ratcliffe, of
Whitby. She was unable to keep off the land, from the
violence of the gale and the partial loss of her sails ; she
afterwards sunk.

On Saturday last the Tenby life.boat went off with
the view of rendering assistance to a schooner in distress,
which was overtaken by the gale which sprung up on
that day. After the life-boat had rowed about three
miles, the schooner suddenly bore away right before the
wind. This life-boat, about three weeks ago, rescued
nine men from a foreign vessel.
On Sunday the Rhyl life-boat rescued four men from
a vessel which was wrecked opposite that place. This
life-boat had also, a few days previously, saved three of
the crew of the Mary Ann, of Liverpool.
On Monday the Walmer life-boat, which the National
Life-boat Institution has just placed on that important
station, saved the crew, of eight men, of the Reliance,
of London, which was driven ashore by the gale near
Weimer Castle. The Marquis of Dllhousie, as Lord
Warden of the Cinque Ports, has promised to subscribe
il. a year towards the support of this beautiful life-boat.
This life-boat has since saved the crew of another
wreck at Kingsgate. The crew were in the rigging all
night, and suffered severely. At daybreak they were
taken of by the life-boat.
The crews of the several life-boats spoke in the highest
terms of their qualities.
It is a very gratifying fact, that during the 33 years
this institution has been established only one fatal acci-
dent—and that occurred more than 21 years ago—has
happened to any of its life boats.
All honour to the brave men who always so promptly
volunteer to go, in all weather, in these life boats. It
is impossible adequately to reward such men for their
gallant services, but they will receive a liberal reward
from the National Life Boat Institution for their ezer-
tions. In the cases we have given above 50 ship
wrecked men were rescued, as it were, from the jaws
of death. It is sincerely hoped that in the great and
extraordinary exertions which this truly philanthropic
society is now making to supply exposed points with
efficient life boats, liberal public support will be ex-
tended to it. It should be remembered that a life
boat establishment, with its boat, carriage, house, and
life belts for the crew, costs about 3501. So that
without the cordial co-operation of the public the
National Life Boat Institution cannot keep up its
numerous life boat establfshments and progre4sively
increase the same on the coast. Let the wealthy of '
the land and others help it in its mission of mercy.

COLLISION IN THE NORTH SFA.—The following commu
nication has been forwarded, by direction of the Board
of Trade, to Capt. Baldwin, of the James Hartley, screw
steamer, of Hartlepool, respecting tbat vessel running
down the brig Messenger, of Shields, on the 6th of last
month, about three miles off Sunderland, when all band.
(with the exception of two seamen) went down with the
vessel and perished.
" Board of Trade, Whitehall, Jan. 2, 1857.
" Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade to inform you that they have had
before them the report of the justices who have held an in-
quiry into the circumstances connected with the collision
between the steamer James Hartley, of which you were
master, and the brig Messenger on the 6th ult.
"The Court have not reported it as their opinion that
the collision was the result of your wrongful act or default,
although they consider that previous to the accident there
was not a good look-out kept on board the steamer. My
Lords desire me, therefore, to return to you your certifi-
cate of competency as master, herewith transmitted.
" My Lords cannot, however, allow to pass over unno-
ticed one point, to which the justices have called attention.
They say, We also consider that the captain and officer
showed great want of presence of mind, if not negligence,
in not, immediately after the brig sunk, steaming over the
place where she went down, and lowering the boats to
search for any one that might be floating o❑ the water."
"In this statement my Lords, after considering the evi-
dence, fully concur; and they direct me to express their
opinion that the negligence in question showed a want of
common humanity, for which no excuse can prevail.
" I have the honour to be your obedient servant,
" T. H. FARREII.
"To R. C. Baldwin, master of the James
Hartley screw-steamer, of Hartlepool."

ACCIDENT TO TAN SUB_IIARINB

CABLE'S.

We are informed by the Sobmarine Telegraph 'Com-
pany that an accident has happened to the submarine
line across the Channel, and that telegraphic communi-
cation with the continent is temporarily delayed in con
sequence. It appears that during the fearful gales of
the sth instant a ship of 700 tons, heavily laden, lost
her anchor in the Dawns, and, driven by the force
of the gale and tide, fouled a schooner ; she then,
becoming more unmanageable, drifted into five fathoms
water. An anchor was speedily let go, with 40 fathoms
chain attached, but the barque, still impelled by the
unusual force of the gale, dragged her anchor until she
was brought up sharply, head to wind, on opening the
western light of the South Foreland. It is feared that
she here came upon the Submarine Company's Ostend
cable ; the hurricane prevailing, however, coupled with
the tide, the weight of the ship, and the necessity of her
keeping her foretopsail out and aback to drift into deep
water, worked so much upon the submarine line that,
aft,r holding her for some length of time, the cable
giving way, as ,is supposed, she instantly swung round
bebre the wind, and was careering forward with in-
creas.rd velocity and momentum, when she was suddenly
brought up head to wind again by the Calais cable. Tae
bark was held, in spite of the heavy sea, the gale, and
the pressure of the wind on her sails, for about an hour,
when once more she broke away, and sailed off down the
Channel. Both submarine lines unfortunately became
unworkable in consequence of this untoward accident,
and communication with the continent was partially
stopped. The sea at the point where the vessel caught
the cables is about 14 fathoms deep only, and the spot is
within three-quarters of a mile from the shore. The
company have already made arrangements to repair the
cables the moment the weather will permit, and mean-
time messages are being telegraphed to Dover, salt
thence by the steamer, which loaves thrice daily, to
Calais, and are from Calais telegraphed to their various
~estinations. It is supposed that, the weather proving
favourable, both cables might be completely repaired in
b
the course of one day. The gale which caused this acci-
dent was of the most fearful description. 40 chains and
anchors were lost near Deal alone. A large American
ship drrvo ashore at Kingsdown, these to Deal ; another
ship was rapidly going to pieces further along the coast,
and the remains of a steamer, supposed to be the Violet,
from 04end, were seen on the Goodwin. A beat from
Margate went down with 14 hands, and altogether the
loss of life and property has been most deplorable.

former place. There are numerous Imelda with loss of
anchors, spars, &c.
By advice; that kale reached Shields from the fishing
village of Newhiagin it app'eafs that the schooner Enter-
prise, of Lynn, has gone ashore on thai caaet and imme-
diately broke up, drowning a'l hands. A boat belonging
to the Vivid, of Sunderlaud, has also gone ashore at
Croswell with some barrels and watercasks, and there is
every reason to believe that all hands have perished. It is
also reported that a large foreign bark has gone down off
Newbiggii, and a sailor and boy belonging to the Earl of
C!ancarty have arrived at Shields, the master and other
portion of the crew having. been swept off the deck dur-
ing the gale. The man and boy bad been picked up by
another vessel. The old East Indiaman Pekin, stranded
on the Herd Sand, has broken up, and her wreck is
strewn along the shore. At the lowest °amputation 60
vessels are ashore bet meen Shields and Yarmouth, and
from 15 to 20 vessels have foundered with all hand.-.
Above 100 seamen are drowned.
The following casualties have been reported from the
gale of Saturday night in the Frith of Forth and on the
ea,t coast of Scotland :—On Monday forenoon the brig
Maria of Suuderland was towed into Leith harbour in a
damaged state. She was on her passage from London
to Newcastle, when, on Saturday night, about 60 miles
east of Vie Isle of May Lighthouse, she was (,T ,rtaken
by the hurricane. The sea washed the mate overboar I,
who perished, as no assistance could save him. Part of
the bulwarks were carried away, and the sails torn into a
thousand pieces. Sunday morning, about 5 o'clock, some
of the farm servants of Mr. John Rennie, ()swell Mains,
observed the hull of a vessel, a total wreck, upon the
rocks at Catcraig Point, about three miles south from
Dunbar. The sea at the time raged 5) fearfully that it
was impossible any aid could be rendered, nor could it at
this time have been of any service, as all hands must
have been lost, every sea then sweeping over her. About
noon the body of a boy, apparently about 14 or 15 years
of age, was washed ashore, and since then also a board
marked " Cromarty," Aberdeen," and another, with the
mark "111 tons register," whereby there is every reason
to believe that she is the schooner Cromarty, of Aber-
deen, laden with slates, &c. Two more bodies have since
been washed ashore.

THE WRECK OF THE NORTHERN BELLE.
BROADSTAIRB, Tuesday. The American barque
Northern Belle (after a most awful night) went ashore
at Kingsgate last evening, between eleven and twelve
o'clock. A terrific gale from the north-east was blowing
at the time, and for some hours it was believed impossible
to save the crew.
This morning, however between nine and ten o'clock,
the Broadatairs lift-boat made an effort to save the crew
of the ill-fated vessel, for which three journeys were
necessary. In the first two journeys all the crew, with
the exception of the captain and pilot, were brought
ashore, those two remaining. Ultimately, however,
they were induced to leave the vessel, and were landed
in safety. The scene upon the cliffs in the immediate
vicinity was harrowing beyond description. Of the
gallant crew of the life-boat who risked their own lives
we may particularly mention John Castell, George
Casteli (his son), Thomas Sand well, and William Hiller,
jun. The extraordinary intrepidity and generous cour-
age of these men deserve far more mention than our
columns can give. From the time their life-boat left the
shore till she returned with the crew of the vessel, it
was a mere questio❑ of instantaneous death, the sea
running literally " mountains high." If these poor
fellows do not one and all receive a medal for their
meritorious conduct we can only say that no mariner
ever yet deserved one.
