SHIPWRECK AT SCILLY.

By the arrival in Penzance last evening from Scilly,
of the Lionesse, Captain Tregarthen, we have intelli-
gence of another of those disasters on the rocks of
Scilly, which call louder and more emphatically than
words can express, upon the Trinity Board, and ask
the question—Where is the long-talked of and greatly-
needed lighthouse on the Bishop Rock ? but, alas, echo
answers—where ?

It appears that on Monday last, the Ist instant, about
four A.m., the barque John Esdale, Captain Jackson,
laden with deals from Green Island, bound to London,
struck upon the western rocks of Scilly, and soon be-
came water-logged ; when the masts were cut away,
and the vessel drifted out to sea. About seven
A. 31., she was discovered to the south-west of
the Island of St. Agnes, and shortly afterwards
boarded by the pilot-boats belonging to Scilly,
four of which tool the barque in tow, and suc-
ceeded in getting her into ". Smith's Sound,"
where she is now lying at anchor, but most of her cargo
has floated out, and the ship's bottom is supposed to be
nearly gone. Captain Jackson and his crew were landed
at :it. Mary's in the afternoon, and arrived at this port
in the Lionesse. Happily, in this instance, the lives of
the men were preserved—but the craw of the next ship
that may strike upon these terribly dangerous reefs may
not be so fortunate ; and is not a single life of more value
than the cost to the public of the erection of a light-
house? Verily the members of the Trinity Board must
either be the most apathetic set of men under heaven,
or they can care little for human sacrifice. Here is a
group of islands—situate at the entrance of the British
Channel, and which are, in many cases, the first British
land " made" by homeward-bound vessels, rendered im-
minently dangerous from the want of a beacon to direct
the mariner, and apprise him of his danger, and we ven-
ture to assert that the absence of a light has caused
hundreds of poor sailors to meet a watery grave, by
their vessels being suddenly brought up by the rocks re-
ferred to, and swallowed in the foaming billows of the
Atlantic, and thus amid the ecstacy of soon meeting their
relatives and friends, have the poor fellows been hur-
ried, it may be unprepared, into the presence of their
Creator. Could the bitterness, the woe, the wailingi of
the poor widow and orphan reach the ears of the mem-
bers of the Trinity Board, we think they would lose no
time in issuing orders for the erection of what ought to
have stood upon the Bishop Rock at Scilly long ago—
namely, a lighthouse.
Let us hope that our weak effort to arouse the atten-
tion of that Board may not be altogether in vain ; and
that ere long we may have the satisfaction of announc-
P-that a commencement of the work has taken place.

"English Sporting Intelligence.—The steam-ship Caledonia
arrived in Boston on Monday last, bringing our usual files to
the 19th ult. On opening that paragon of sporting periodi-
cals, Bell's Life in London, we were delighted to find it
clothed in an entire new dress, and nearly doubled in size.
It now contains 40 closely printed columns, filled with every
variety of information, interesting alike to the sportsman and
the general .reader; but notwithstanding the enlargement
and consequent increased outlay, the price will remain as
formerly, 6d. only."—No weekly journal equal to Bell's Life

FALL OF HOUSES IN THE W ANDSWORTH-ROAD.—
On Saturday afternoon, at one o'clock an inquest was held
upon the body of Oliver Corral], aged 19 years, the brick-
layer who was killed by the falling in of the houses in the
Wandsworth-road. Evidence was given by the policeman,
Thomas Emerson, and John Kelly, a labourer, working upon
the buildings. Mr. Stevens, a carpenter, stated his opinion
that the accident was solely attributable to the removal of
the ground between the wall and the centre. The concrete
which had been put at the foundation about twelve months
since was very inferior, and had never set or become sound.
The Coroner summed up, and the jury, after twenty minutes'
consultation, returned the following special verdict :—" That
the deceased met his death accidentally; but the jury could
not separate without expressing their opinion that a want of
judgment was displayed in removing the earth round the
foundation of the buildings."
TYPHUS FRYER IN WOOLWICH.—The typhus
fever is at present very prevalent in certain districts in
Woolwich, which are distinguished for the insalubrity of the
atmosphere, their deficient ventilation, and the filthy habits
of the persons who reside therein. A few days since Mr.
Macdonald, the surgeon of the Woolwich division of the
Greenwich union, waited upon the Board of Commissioners,
and, after apprising them of this fact, said he was apprehen-
sive that, if the damp weather continued, the disease might
become contagious. The houses were very imperfectly ven-
tilated—the sleeping rooms crowded with beds—the dwel-
lings in a very filthy condition, and it was highly desirable
that the houses should be lime-washed and otherwise cleansed.
Mr. Macdonald was referred to the Board of Guardians, who,
It is understood, will take the necessary proceedings.
It is currently reported that the plan for the retire-
ment of 300 captains is abandoned. If this be true, it is gross
injustice to the 267 captains, who, it is understood, intimated
their willingness to accept. As this number falls so little
short of 300, the Admiralty are, in common honesty to these
officers,:bound to carry out the plan.—Hampshire Telegraph.
PRACTICAL SOLUTION OF THE RAILWAY DE-
POSIT DIFFICULTY.—The subject of the railway deposits has,
for some time, and very justly, occupied the attention of the
public, and of the moneyed interest, in relation to the dis-
turbances in the currency that would be necessarily excited
were the large sums requ'red to be lodged in the Court of
Chancery to be suddenly withdrawn from general circulation.
A practical solution of this difficulty has, however, been
hit upon by the managers of the Irish Great Western
(Dublin to Galway) Railway, which, if generally and
judiciously put into operation, will much diminish the ex-
pected embarrassment of the money market. The Company
to which we refer yesterday transferred the large sum of
81,0001. (being the deposit of ten per cent. on their capital
required by the standing orders of Parliament), to the ac-
count
of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery.
In pursuance of an application from the Provisional Com-
mittee to the Court, the whole of this money is now in
course of gradual investment in Government Stock. By
avoiding hurry in this latter operation, it is obvious that the
entire of the deposit will, in this case, be returned into the
general circulation of the country without being productive
of any derangement whatsoever of currency or credit. We
trust other bona fide companies may profit by this example,
and thereby at once show the best evidence of their own sta-
bility, and do what in them lies to remedy the mischiefs of
the railway mania.—Dublin Evening Mail.
