THE LATE SHIPWRECKS OFF RAMSGATE.

The following is the report of the Ramsgate
harbour master (Captain Marten) to the committee
of the Royal National Life-boat Institution of the
lamentable wrecks which recently occurred off that
that place :

" Royal Harbour-office, Ramsgate, Oct. 10, 1857._
" Since my last we have been called off several times
Ey alarm guns, but in every instance nothing occurred
worthy of note. You will be pleased to hear that the
life-lines and gear, proposed and prepared by we,
together with our life cranes (which the committee of
the Royal National Life-boat Institution unanimously
approved of), have been the means, through God's
mercy, of saving the crews of two vessels at the back of
our pier, in the terrific storm of the Bth inst., when and
where no life boat could have been of any avail. The
breaking up of the vessels was all but instantaneous,
and fragments of their wreck were hurled over. the pier
into the -vessels at their moorings inside the harbour.
There has been nothing so fearful as this seen since the
27th Nov., 1836. One life only has been lost, and no
other severe casualty to life or limb in or about the har-
bour, although several vessels, which were entirely un-
manageable, ran head on into the basin walls. The little
boy who perished had our life-line in both hands, and
while I was calling to him how best to secure himself,
a broken spar struck him on the back and dashed him
against the stone wall, when he:disappeared.
" We maintained our. position, sometimes with our
lives in our hands, but an especial Providence preserved
us while doing our duty, and the consciousness of that
is a sufficient reward.
" When the-gale had abated we looked anxiously to-
wards the Goodwin. All seemed clear, but .the follow-
ing morning at daylight, the Gull light-vessel made big-
oats for assistance ; and our life-boat, -in tow 'of our
steamer. being immediately despatched, they found on
tie South Calliper a fine American ship a complete.
wreck. All hands but one were missing, and' supposed
to have been lost; that one had been taken out by. a
Deal lugger; He'stated that the ship had gone on the
sand at midnight, and that the long-boat, with all hands,
bad broken adrift and loft him only on board. -At '
noon, however, we had the satisfaction of seeing them
brought into this harbour, having been picked up at
sea." •

LOSS OF THE LEXINGTON AND THREE

Li- PIA

•" •= LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
The following letter, addressed to Mr. Taylor,
manager of the New Steam Tug Company, was
posted at the underwriters' rooms this morning :
" Valentia, Oct. 8.
"Dear Sir,—l am sorry to inform you that the Lex-
ington is no mole. We left this harliJur„at 11,45 a.m ,
wind N., fresh breese, and rising glass. All wont on
well until after we got round Bray Head, when it came
on to blow a gale from the N. W., with very heavy sea,
and engines working at slow speed, fur fear of
parting the hawser. A signal was made from the
ship to keep- her away but in keeping away
for the west passage for Valentia Harbour, engines
working dead.slow, the rope parted at the ship's hawse.
pipe. It was then impossible to get fast to her again ;
by the time we could get the hawser in the ship would
be on the rocks and all hands perished. I ran to lee-
ward, and got 13 hands on board. I got the life-boat
out. Mr. Brewster (mate) and the boy Godfrey volun-
teered. They were in the boat for some time, but, not
able to get at the, ship, I got them on board, made
another run at the weather-side of the ship ; and,
amidst a terrific sea running, we succeeded in getting
one man. Lines were thrown on board, but the other
poor fellows seemed to bo bewildered, and were unable
to make the ropers fast to themselves and jump over•
board. We were then so close to the rocks that the
hands saved begged for me to back out. The lifeboat I
lost, and very thankful to clear so well. We got, be-
sides, some damage to our port quarter in getting the
men saved from the ship. I fain afraid three men
are drowned, but there may be some hopes ; the ship
went in at the back of Saswell Rock, and disappeared
from us. The gale still increasing, I put back to Va-
lentia. I should have telegraphed you last evening ;
but, going on shore, something had happened to the
wires. The ship went on about 3.30 p.m. on Puffin
Island (St. Finan Bay.) It is blowing a gale from the
N. W. I sha'l have to get some fuel as soon as the
weather will permit, and will lose' no time in getting
hoine.—Yotn- obedient servant,

"JOHN HARVEY,
" Master of .the steam-tug Resolute,"

THE REV. MR. SPURGEON AN]) THE
CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY.

As we find that misconception exists in the minds
of some of the public relative to the circumstances
under which Mr. Spurgeon consented to preach
in the Crystal Palace on Wednesday last, it- is right
to state that the Rev. Gentleman, in agreeing to
the proposal made to him to preach for the Indian
Relief Fuud on that day, merely stipulated that
the Company should act liberally towards the
Fund. His sole inducement to preach on the
occasion-was a desire to do all in his power towards
increasing the fund for thareliekof our countrymen
and countrywomen, who had suffered from the
Indian mutinies. And the benevolent wish of the
Rev. Gentleman must have been gratified to an
extent he could hardly have anticipated ; for the
total amount, including the 2001. coutribuion
wade by the Company, produced by Mr. Spur-
geon's sermon, was 6801. This splendid donation
was handed over yesterday to the Lord Mayor by
the Rev. Gentleman. After what we have stated
it is unnecessary to add, that Mr. Spurgeon in-
dividually has not received a single farthing for his
services on Wednesday last. Those, indeed, who
are personally acquainted with the Rev. Gentle- j
man, know that a more disinterested or generous-
minded man does not exist, and that no considera •
tion on earth would have induced him to receive
any gratuity from the directors on the occasion,
had it been offered to him. It is due, however, to
them to state that, as an expression of their sense
of the value of his services, and of the disinterested
manner in which he acted, they have given 501.
towards the fund now raising for the place of wor-
ship which it is in contemplation to erect for the
Rev. Gaztleman.—lforiiing Advertiser.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—There is very little business doing pending the
public sales which take place to-day. The total quantity
offered amounts to 24,617 packages. There is little change
to report as regards price a.
SUGAlL—Business has been very inactive, and the sup-
plies large, rates, consequently, have shown a downward
tenc!euey, the advance in the rate of discount by the Bank
of England having materially (diecke,l operations. In the
i
refined market there s yery little doing either for export
or home use, and quotations are a shade easier.
COFFEE.—There is an improved demand for good quali-
ties of plantation Ceylon, and slightly improved prices are
current ; a small quantity will be offered for public com-
petition during the week, when full values are expected to
be realised. Native Ceylon continues in fair demand at
fully previous rates.
RlCE.—There is a very limited enquiry, and prices have
been rather lower. Holders of cleaned rice have evinced
more desire to

Itint.---No business of any importance has been reported,
and quotations are unaltered.

SALTPETRE.— The transactions have been very limited,
but full rates are demanded. The stocks on hand are con-
siderably larger than at the same time last year.
TALLOW.—A moderate business has been done. P. Y. C.
on the spot and last three months is quoted 57s 3d to
57s 61 per cwt. The stocks are 7,000 casks more than at
the corresponding period of last year.

POLICE TELEGRAPH.—A correspondent writes as fol-
lows :—ln your account of the discovery of the mutilated
remains at Waterloo-bridge, you very justly remark
that " few persons have any idea of the completeness
anal rapidity with which this force (the police) can be
sell in motion. Immediately on the discovery of the
bones information, giving description of the bag and
its contents, was sent to every division. In less than
three hours the printed informations' of the police
were in the hands of the whole metropolitan force," &c.
While I readily admit that the police arrangements of the
metropolis are of a very efficient character, still I main-
tain that the police ought to have an electric telegraph
of their own, whick would enable them to circulate their
"information" in as many minutes as it now occupies
hour..

SIR COLIN CAMPBELL'S QUARTEBS.—SbortIy after, I
crossed through the late camp of the Highland Division,
