,Lord Auckland, the First Lord of the Admiralty, arrived
le this town from the Isle of Man. where he had been on
a visit to his brother, the Lord Bishop of the island. On
Thursday he visited various parts of the town, and during
the day embarked on board the Redwing. His lordship,
after inspecting the docks, disembarked at the Coburg
Dock. Shortly afterwards he was conveyed to the Wood-
"de Ferry, and visited the docks and works in progress at
irkenhead.

40'41:4„1' AND INTREPID CONDUCT.—Our readers may
,
I,`'n speasl,B.s, remember that, some time ago, we had occasion
'Tact nighly of a seaman on board one of the rke.n-
o, hi:-',,aMers, named William Kane, who has, at
.the risk
creaturp,"„ life, saved no less than eleven of his fellow-
Pleas ipin death by drowning. We have now the
the °pi recording another act of self-devotion upon
-flirke this truly gallant fellow. The five o'clock
day --hr, .ead boat had just left the landing-stage, on Thurs-
iaol evening last, when a small river boat got partially
see t, Me between her and the Eastham steamer. One of
Parties in the boat, fearing that they would be swamped,
fon..il g from the boat into the steamer. In attempting to
wat°ev: his example, another of the parties fell into the
F. In this perilous position he cried loudly for help,
` .while everybody on board the two steamers were
rush here and there with ropes, &c., Kane, with his
Itslial promptitude, jumped into the water, swam like a
ush, and in a minute he coolly fastened a rope securely
round the body of the individual in the water, who was
by it drawn on the deck of the Birkenhead boat. Kane
promptly followed, bleeding profusely from a wound in his
temple, which he unfortunately received in this intrepid
rescue. The gentlemen on board immediately raised a
few shillings amongst themselves, which they gave to
Kane. This was very well for a beginning, but further
subscriptions ought to be made, and we shall be glad to
receive any donations.
VENTILATION OF MINES.—From what took place, at
the Liverpool Royal Polytechnic Institution, on Monday
week, we are most happy to observe, that a step has been
taken in the right direction. The paper read by Mr.
Qw,eetlove gives, perhaps, as clear as—if not a more lucid
atZ,seription of the modes of working coal, so difficult to
iiistrtrstand by the unitiated, than is generally given at such
later,ll49es ; and the discussion which ensued, was equally
