Crabb came up, bat fell away again to Buse Bank; hero
Crabb a6ain collared him, and a desperate race ensued

them. Crabb continued to near his man rapidly, and op-
posite 2lurphy's boat-yard, at Chiswick, they fouled. On

TILE DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK IN MOUNT'S BAY.
—Downing, the honorary secretary of the Penzance
branch of the National Lifeboat Institution, writing from
that town ou Saturday, reports that a most fearful ship-
wreck occurred last night near Lamorna, between that
Cove and the Logan Rock. The Garonne steamer from
Bordeaux. to Liverpool, Capt. Drew, with brandy and several
passengers, struck in the dense darkness of the 'lighten souio
rocks called the Bucks. In five minutes she went, down.
llcr captain, mate, two stewards, twelve females, and four
male passengers, were drowned. filer three boats saved
seventeen of the crew and two passengers. She struck
near midnight, and the first intelligence was brought to us
by the landing of the boats at Penzance. Of course nothing
could be done by our lifeboat, the tragedy being over in
less than ton minutes. The occurrence has caet quite a
gloom over our town.

Veritas of Paris the number of vessels reported as
totally lost during the mouth of April was 202, including

wegian, 6 Dutch, aid 33 bearing various other flags. The
number of total losses during the first four months of the

Jenkins then put the division through the manual

formed by the veterans with remarkable steadiness
and precision, the file and volley firing being espe-
cially good. At the close of the inspection Col.
Smith, addressing • the local pensioners, . remarked
that the inspection hid been in every respect most
satisfactory, and he never remembered seeing a
body of men acluit themselves in a more efficient
manner. He should have much pleasure in report-
ing favourably of their efficiency. The pensioners
