sHIpwRECKs ON THE BRITISH COAST

The following extract from the official report of COM
ttec gives fearful picture of the loss of life and pro-
pery in the British waters during the two last years
The committee lament to state that the destruction
of human life from hipwreck has been very large the
coasts of the United Kingdom during the past year. 1t
is however of satisfaction the committee to
find that public attention also that of her Maesys
Government has been directed to this important subject
and to the consideration Of for preventing ship
wrecks and for saving life occasions of disasters at
sea- They believe that by the introduction of improved
descriptions Of life boats and their general adoption
the coasts increased number Of feboa rocket and
mortar stations the land and especially by the
adoption Of measures board merchant vessels them
selves to diminish the danger those occasions this
frgtfu loss Of life may be materially essened in future
years.
'The committee had occasion to observe in their last
report that the year 1852 had been the most disastrous
respected shipwrecks record the large number of
100 wrecks with the loss of upward Of 900 lives having
taken place during that period the coasts Of the Bril-
tsh isles And they regret 70 have TO state that far
as could be ascerained from Loyfs Lit and other
heuc sources nearly 800 wrecks with the loss of about
$40 lives occurred on the coasts and within the seas
United Kingdom in the year 1853 In the awful gale of
last January 257 wrecks occurred coasts,
panied by the fearful sacrifice Of 4SG lives. Who
contemplate the amount of misery which such loss
of life necessarily entail without asking himself the
question, Can not directly indirectly assist in les
senng mitigating such calames, by contributing to-
wards providing for saving life from wrecks The
aid solicited is comparatively small and the recompense,
If but one life be saved, is incalculably great"

FORE far the black population concerned be quite in

people Of Cuba with view the connexon between
that island and the Spanish Crown and be evident
that the negro population of Csba rendered free that

On the 9th Of January, 1852, Lord Howden thus
writes from Madrid to Earl Granville who had come
into the the Foreign Office the resignation of Lord
Palmerston:
"By the anxious desire of the Spanish Government take
the liberty of calling your lordshps to the WISH
entertained here, that through the friendly interest
part of France and the United States and Of England OF
course, might be made with regard to Cuba"
This invitation Of interference from Spain was evidently
brought about by the communication Of Goth October and
others of similar character. On the 24th April 1852,
Lord Malmesbury communicates Mr. Isturitz Spanish
