Stoned from Plymouth for die Mediterranean on Sunday, the 24th
uliimoragain returned to this port yesterday (Friday), about eleven
in the morning, and now lies at anchor in the harbour of Catwater.
She has sustained considerable damage, and has lust her rudder,
which caused her again Cu return here. From the informata
which we have been able to obtain, we understand that she got
down Channel into lat. 47 deg. 10 min. and long. 6 deg. S win. W.
when, on the 28th ultimo, she carried away two iron tillers, and op
the following day (the 29th) she lost ben rudder; the French Comt
being then E. by 8. 15 leagues, Black Rock, N.E. by E. 11 or 19
miles. On the morning of the 19th ultimo the ship, through losing
her rudder, and consequently becoming unmanageable, together
with her drift, brought her within four miles of the French shore.
Every exertion was then mad., by the Captain and Officers, and by
rigging out a raft to steer with, and, by the assistance of steam and
canvass, they got within thirty mile, of Plymouth, when a pilot
boarded them, and took them into this port.—flynseurk Herald.

NAVAL CHARITABLE SOCIETY.

,41111....-

The Subscribers to this Society held their Annual
Meeting yesterday at the Thatched House Tavern, in
St. James's street, for the purpo,e of making the usual
donations to Petitioners for relief.

The President, Lord GAMBIER, having taken the
Chair at twelve o'clock,' the Secretary laid before the
Meeting a statement of the Receipts and Expenditure
during the year 1826, from which it appeared, that the
receipts from Donations and Subscriptions, and the
amount of the dividends upon funded property. made,
together with the balance in hand, a sum of 99051.55. Scl.
while the expenditure had been only 30011. IN. 5d.1
leaving a balance to meet the expenditure in 1827 of
19031. 13s. 10d. There had been 358 cases to, which
relief was granted by the Society in last year, and do-
nations had been since given at the Quarterly Meeting
in January last to the amount of 7721. leasing a balance
at present of 1311. in hands.
Various sums, from 51. to 151. were then voted to
about 150 applicants, the greater part of whom were
the aged relicts of Officers who had distinguished
themselves in the Naval Service.

From an examination of the List of Subscribers for
the past year, it would appear that the objects of this
Society are better known and more highly appreciated
than formerly; and that the system of an Annual Sub-
scription by all the Members of the Profession, for the
relief of them...he. may I. left in a stat..oE aomae6;•••
is racily to realise the best hopes of its projeoors.

Last week Mr. THOMAS LOTOW, a respectable farmer
in Worcestershire, was dreadfully gored by his own
bull. Mr. LOTON, it seems, on Tuesday afternoon,
went into his fold yard for the purpose of drivia4 it
into another enclosure, when the animal attacked bum,
and in despite of his endeavours to beat him,knocked him
down with great force upon the paved yard, by which
he was so severely injured, that after being conveyed
into his house, he died almost immediately. Thursday
an Inquest was held upon the body, when a verdict of
Accidental Death was returned, with a deodand of 2s. 6d
on the hull. The deceased was a single man and highly
esteemeJ. It is somewhat remarkable that a friend of
the deceased a few weeks previously, observing him 1
caressing the bull, cautioned Mr. Loran to beware of
it, at the same time, too truly prophesying—" You are
bringing up that animal to be your death."—Wercester
Herald.

A farmer in the neighbourhood of this city has been foe
several years greatly annoyed by boys trespassing on his
farm, breaking down his fences, and destroying his crops.
About a fortnight ago, he came upon a number of them
in one of his fields. In order to frighten them, he let
louse i young dog by whom he was accompanied ; the
dog seised one of them by his arm, which he bit very
severely before he could be taken off. He was so much
frightened that he fevered immediately after he went
home, and a mortification in the arm having ensued, he
died a few days ago.—rtilasgow Journal.
An affecting, and, at the same time, a ludicrous cir-
cumstance, was exhibited a few days since in Glasgow.
IA seaman, who had been absent from his country for
-a great many years on foreign service, and was sup-
posed to be dead by his friends, unexpectedly came to
town about ten days ago, and his pockets pretty well
fluid with the fruits of his hard-earned services. Im-
mediately pn his arrival he hastened to the spot where
be had left his wife and child; but she had left her
place of residence some years back, and was gone,
nobody knew where.. Still, however, he was deter-
mined-to find her if alive, and wandered whither his
fancy directed, in hopes of finding her, when he chanced
to pass the head of King-street, he beard a woman cry-
ing " fine caller haddies ;" the, sound arrested his at.
tention—he thought he recognised, the voice -of his.
former helpmate. For a mornknt. lie doubted his
senses, scarcely believing his, wife could..have ex-
perienced such a reverse of fortune_ ; but on coming
nearer, his doubts .were removed.
.Ytith a tumult of
joy not to be described, he snatched the basket from
her arms, three the " haddies" into the street, and
gave her as complete a bug as an honest and robust
affection was capable of performing. The poor woman
was no less surprised, and burst into tears upon
having all explained to her, over a comforting drop
of the creature. A thousand questions were asked
and answered in a minute, a hen the gallant tat
hauled away his wife to a clothes shop. in the
neighbourhood, where be rigged her from stem to
stern, casting her old ones into the street, after
which he called a noddy, swearing that, now he
bad found his wandering rib, he was the happiest dog
alive, and hang him but Peggy and he should have a
day of it, and then lay themselves snugly up in dock
for life.—lbid.
