THE WRECK OF TILE ROYAL CHARTER

MOELFRA, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

Four more bodies, all males, have been cast ashore
since my communication of yesterday ' • one last
night, and three this morning. Three of them are
now lying in the parish church of Llanaltgo ; the
remaining body has been removed to the church of
Penrhoslligny, having been thrown ashore in the
latter parish. All yesterday evening a very heavy
sea rolled, and about four o'clock the life-boat,
manned by a crew of eight, put out to rescue those on
board a brigantine, which was observed to be rapidly
approaching the rocks a little to the north of the
spot in Dullas Bay, in which the wreck of the Royal
Charter lies. Tho brigantine, however, got safely
in on the sands in a little creek about a mile from
Moelfra, where she now lies. She proves to be the
Marsa, of Barrow. She was bound with a cargo of
iron ore to some English port. She fell foul of
another vessel, and was somewhat injured by the
encounter. She afterwards touched a rock, and the
crew got on shore. They afterwards re-embarked,
and got her in safety to the before-mentioned creek.
As the waves beat violently in on the Dullas Rocks
last evening, large quantities of clothing were to be
seen tossing about. Some of it was cast ashore, but
a great deal of it was carried out to s.ea again. It
has been suggested by some of the relatives of the
drowned passengers and seamen that if boats were
sent out many more bodies would be recovered. I
think this very likely after what I have witnessed
with respect to the action of the waves with respect
to the clothing and spars. The Rev. Mr. Hughes
is about to take the matter in hand. There has
been some objection on the part of the authorities,
as they apprehend that theft might be committed
by some of the persons going out in the boats ; but
if rumour speaks truly, the watchers themselves
require watching. It is unfair to make charges
against men having a responsible duty to perform;
and one of the police inspectors has told me that he
himself caught a coastguardman in the act of
thieving. Friends and relatives complain 'that
there is more anxiety to discover gold than bodies,
but the fact is, no gold has as yet been discovered
by the divers. They recommenced operations at
10 o'clock this morning, but have brought up nothing
but copper bars. The fathers, mothers, wives,
children, and other relatives, pace the beach from
an early hour in the morning. Yesterday, delicate
women braved the rain and storm all day, making
their melancholy search. Every now and then I
was met by persons with sorrowful faces, one in-
quiring, " Have you seen any trace of my husband ?
His name was -." " Oh, have you found any-
thing with the name of - ? She was my child."
Indeed, it is a heartrending thing to go near the
beach, and to see these mourners, and to meet the
carts carrying the mangled corpses, or the parish
coffins in which they are to be interred. None of
the bodies found last night have been identified.
Forty five bodies have been found up to this time.

LECTURE TO CARTERS AND CABMEN,

Last Friday a very exciting meeting of cabmen,
carters, omnibus drivers, and many others of the
horse jockey fraternity, was held in the circus on
Glasgow Green, to witness an exhibition of Mr.
Itarey's wonderful powers in subduing the most
vicious horses. The large building was literally
packed by a singularly characteristic audience,
drawn from the classes whom Mr. Rarey had kindly
invited to meet him free of all charge. We have
seen many great and many very peculiar gatherings
in Glasgow. but the meeting of Friday possessed
features of interest which rendered it wholly unique.
We have never seen Mr. Rarey exhibit his thorough
command over the horse to greater advantage than
on that occasion. One of the horses submitted to
his operations, and on which he had never laid
hands before, was notorious for its kicking propen-
sities. It was brought into the ring with a very bad
character, and when Mr. Rarey touched it at first
it struck out in a manner which greatly excited the
audience. By and by, however, it became less irri-
table, and the process of strapping the fore legs was
speedily accomplished. It was now compelled to lie
down and allow its master to treat it as he thought
proper. Suffice to say, that the simple and kindly
process pursued in this, as in all other cases, was
most satisfactory. Mr. Itarey lay down with it,
laid his head upon its own, and placed its hind
legs upon his head, and showed that in the very
first interview its vicious habits were, for the
time being at least, fairly brought under, and
that a few more interviews were only require d to
cure it of these altogether. The other experiments
were equally successful. Altogether the exhibition
of Friday night, and themany practical lessons and
remarks which were thrown out in the course of it,
could not fail to be highly useful to men who spend
the most of their time, and who earn their daily
bread, in company with the horse. It would be
well if every one of these men could be put in pos-
session of Mr. Rarey's valuable pamphlet, illustra-
tive of his mode of treating this noble animal. The
audience became so excited at times that he had
frequently to request them to keep still ; and al-
though this was not an easy matter in a gathering
of from two to three thousand cabmen, carters, &c.,
yet he succeeded in subduing his audience with as
much tact as he did the horse. Where were the
Patrons of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals last night ? One such exhibition is
worth ten thousand homilies on that subject, and
we cannot but regard Mr. Rarey as one of the most
distinguished benefactors of the horse, which is
oftentimes subjected to such cruel abuse. No ar-
rangement seemed to have been made for returning
thanks to Mr. Rarey for his highly useful and gra-
tuitous services, but at the close of his exhibition
many rough-looking, but kindly-hearted men.
gathered around him in the ring to shake hands
with him, and return him their warmest thanks.
The Rev. Mr. Wallace, who was present, with seve-
ral of our civic authorities, rose, and in a few sen-
tences gave utterance and shape to the feelings of the
large audience, by formally proposing a hearty vote
of thanks to Mr. Rarey, and the meeting was closed
with several hearty rounds of applause,— Glasgow
