The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48
tons, succeeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of
the brig Choice, of Newcastle, also nine in number.
The Star Company, in their yawl, Phcenix, went off to the Ann, of
Sunderland, from which, after splitting the stem and carrying away
the mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of
nine men.
Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and suc-
cessful conduct of these gallant men, who, in addition to the immi-
nent risk of their lives, have suffered considerably .in the injury done
to their property—for which no remuneration eats be anticipated but
from the benevolence of a British public, it remains to relate the me-
lancholy catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement.
The Beachmen of the " Phoenix" having safely landed the crew of
the " Ann," and being themselves much exhausted, a fresh crew of
the same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded
to another vessel lying in distress on the Scroby ; the wind was then
blowing a hurricane. On nearing the vessel, they found the sea
running over her, and made an unsuccessful attempt to reach her;
failing to do so, they let go their anchor and veered down ; unfortu-
nately the force of the sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed
her to pieces ; when the Beaclunen—with the exception of one man
(named Abraham Wetherell), who sank with the yawl—got on board
the brig, which was now drifting, and every sea breaking with tre-
mendous violence over her bull. •
The accident being witnessed from the shore several men belonging
to the different Companies manned the life-boat and flew to their as-
sistance. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled
alike for the poor fellows on the brig and those in the life-boat. Hap-
pily she reached the brig though too late for many, some of whom
were carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some
drowned on the wreck. Six only of the " Phoenix's crew were saved:;
and of the brig's crew, who were in a state of exhaustion when the
" Phoenix" first reached ber, the whole perished.
Thus in the noble attempt to save the lives of their fellow-men,
seven of our gallant beachmen found a watery grave, leaving behind
them four widows and fourteen children (ten'of whom are under
twelve years of age) totally unprovided for, as well as the aged
mothers of the three single men. Their names were Abraham.
Wetherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve
(widow and three children), Ganham (alias James) Hilling (widow
and two children), James Boulton (widow), William Warner, Ueorge
Points, and James George, single men, but upon whom their widowed
mothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence. •
To provide a fund to relieve the necessities of the bereaved—to re-
ward the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others—
to assist in replacing the serious loss suffered by the boatmen—and
to form a nucleus for a permanent fund for the relief of sufferers
under similar calamities in future—is the object of the present
appeal.
Subscriptions will be received at the banks of Messrs. Barclay and
Co., and Sir R. C. Qlynn and Co., Loudon; and at any of the banking
houses in Norfolk and Suffolk.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the tests six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Denies's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.
Testimonials nom the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be f‘ rwarded dont),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. 3lartin's-lane, Lo
Warranted to keep correct in all weathers.

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London,
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, the genuine," but
without name or address: some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they trope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce; will keep good in all
climates.

CLARK'S NEW BRILLIANT LIGHT.
Have you seen it ? The nobility, scientific men, and all
who have, admit its positive superiority, and admire its simplicity.
This light causes no smoke, cannot emit blacks, breaks no chimneys,
creates no smell, requires no cleaning, and in its construction is so
simple, that any person can trim it. It is so economical that, while
producing the light of two argand oil lamps, or the light of twenty
candles, it costs no more than two candles.
This perfect lamp fitted to persons' own pedestals, for 23 shillings,
all complete.
To be seen burning at Clark's Lamp Depot, 447, West Strand (op-
posite Warren's Blacking Manufactory).
Clark and Co. have also an improved Oil Lamp used by the 'Trinity
House, and all the great light houses in the world, and only just now
introduced to public notice.
N.B. To prevent imposition, Clark and Co. put their name on all
these lamps.

-CANDLE CAUTION. -W. S. HALE'S
11 SUPERB COMPOSITE CANDLES, 10d. per lb., are allowed

pearance and brilliancy of light. W. S. Hales makes no inferior Com-
posite Candles, of which town and country are inundated. To be had
genuine, also the extra-fine Wax-wick Moulds, 6d. per lb., for
cash, at DAVIES'S Old Established Warehouse, 63, St. Martin's-
lane, opposite Slaughter's Coffee-house.

PATENT BELMONT SPERM CANDLES,
ONE SHILLING per lb. ; PATENT BELMONT SPERM
OIL, FOUR SHILLINGS per Gallon, burning more brilliantly than
the ordinary Sperm Candles and Oil, and' differing from them in being
principally prepared from a pure vegetable material, instead of an
impure animal one.

Families wishing to try any of the above are recommended to
order them through their own tradesmen, taking notice, however,
that these being the London Cash Prices, the Country Dealer must
charge higher to cover his expenses of carriage. Where no dealer
can be found willing to sell them, Edward Price and Co. will supply
quantities of not less than 5/. worth, direct from their manufactory,
at Belmont, Vauxhall. On receiving a Post-office order for this
amount, they will forward Candles and Oil in the proportions that
may be directed; or, to parties wishing for samples and unable to
obtain them, they will, on receiving a 1/. Post-office order, forward a
box containing 31bs of each of the four sorts of Candles, and a
gallon of the Oil. They flx the price of the sample box so high, to
avoid all suspicion of their wishing to interfere with the retail trade
of the Country Dealers.
The trade may obtain the above Candles and Oil wholesale, in
London, from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; Palmer
and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell ; and W. Merchant, 253, Regent-
circus, Oxford-street; in Manchester, from Richardson and Roebuck,
Market-place ;in Bath, from T. and G. Butcher, No. 4, Saw-close ;
and in Cheltenham, from Mathews and Co., 400, High-street.
