CAUTION TO MARINERS.

Her Majesty's Siiip Shearwater arrived at Lowestoffe,
reports having passed a sunken vessel, with one of her
masts above water, directly in the track or shipping,
Cunchilne Ness W.N.W., Lowestoffe Church N.N.W.

"FUDGE" was the heading given by the Times yes-
terday to a borrowed paragraph, which referred to
Earl Spencer having dined at Windsor, and which
threw very serious doubts on a report that the Noble
Earl had been summoned at the suggestion of Sir
Robert Peel to advise her Majesty in the present
critical situation of the country. Did ,the Times
mean to represent the doubts as fudge, and the report
that the Earl had been summoned for such a purpose
as correct ? Whichever it• might be, it is certainly
not fudge that the country needs other measures,
whether they be planned by other men than the
:Ministers or not.

FLOATING BREAAWATER.—Captain Gioves, late o•
the Rifle corps, has arrived here, for the purpose of
trying an experiment of a cylinder, with some iron
pendants, as a floating breakwater in the Bay. At
this early stage of the proceeding we are quite un-
able to form any opinion as to the probable
,success of
the measure. The cylinder or caisson formed of
iron, steam-boat bailer shape, 50 feet long by 6 feet
in diameter. It is divided into compartments, so
that though a hole were by chalice made in it, it
would not sink. It was made at Biriningham, under
the superintendence of Captain Groves, the inventor ;
and was brought here. by a Government steamer,
under the auspices of the Admiralty. From the
cylinder vertically is carried down an iron grating
8 feet long; and as the cylinder, when So loaded,
will float at half its diameter, this will make
11 feet immersed in the water. The abject of the
present experiment is not, we understand, to test the
powers of such a breakwater, but to prove that very
powerful anchors and chains can hOld' it under the
resistance of the heaviest seas and gales of wind. The
anchors and chains have been furnished by the Admi-
ralty. Were we to judge from the ponderous
anchors (about 2f tons each) to which the cylinder is
to be moored, with equally ponderous chains capable
of holding a frigate in holding ground, we should
suppose that hardly any power in nature would be
able to bring it home. Mr. Trelwell; the contractor,
is making very effective inroads on the Pent mud ;
and we expect soon to see it thoroughly cleared, which
circumstance will add most materially to the appear-
ance as well as the commodiousness of the inner basin
of our harbour.—Dover Chronicle.
IMPIETY OF TUE PRIESTS.—The following scene
occurred in • Mr. Newman's chapel the other day.
The account is given by an eye-witness, a cor-
respondent of the Record:—" The bell continued
tolling until twenty minutes past eleven, none of the
officiating ministers having as yet made their appear-
ance, when it suddenly ceased, and I heard a low
mutter. • At first I thought it was the rumbling of
cart wheels on the road, but finding it continued for
fully five minutes, 1 was at a loss 'to conjecture its
cause ;It evidently proceeded from without—so
totally indistinct was it, that I did not for a
moment suspect it constituted a )part of the
day's service. At length the mutter (this is
the only word by which I can describe it) grew
less confused, and after a little I heard voices
engaged in a chant. I listened attentively, but could
not distinguish the words, until, at half-past eleven
o'clock (this having now continued for the space of
ten minutes) there was a momentary pause, and a
very loud voice exclaimed from the porch, Lift up
3rour heads, 0 ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye ever-
lasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.'
Immediately several persons that were . standing at
the entrance fell back; then all in the church rose
from their seats, and a clergyman entered, followed
by about twenty boys in surplices, Mr. Newman and
his curate liringing up the rear of the procession.
All walked up the aisle ; the boys stopped in a place
reserved for them near the desk, but the three clergy-
men knelt at the communion rails, Mr. Newman in
the centre, opposite the wooden cross?'
NEW TAXING OFFICES.—Several houses on the
eastern and south-eastern side of Staple Inn are now
in the course of removal, preparatory to the erection
of new buildings, for the accommodation of the taxing
officers appointed under the recent Bill: The object in
selecting this site has been to centralise the Chancery
offices as much as possible. An entrance is proposed
to be made to the new buildings from Quality Court.
We hear that Miss Briers, the wily 'contriver of
the " Bristol Iloax," is gone to her friends in her
native place, Chester, in such an ill state of health as
to create apprehensions that it will terminate fatally.
