The vessel when off Cape Gata grounded on a sand bank lIoL far from the sbnre. A part of the cargo was discharged. To give the donkey a chance for hiot.te.be?xeutfy dropped into the sea, to einkor swim. Some dayB afterwards wben the gate8 of Gi? raltar were opened iu the morning, in walked the don- key, proceeding straight to the stable of a Mr Weeks, where he had previously lodged. That gentleman ima- gined that, for some reason or another the donkey had not ueell put on board the Ister. When the vessel re- turned the mystery was explained. Not only had the donkey (Valiant by name) swam to shore, but-withuut guide, compass, or travelling tdap-had found his way frum Cape Gata to Gibi altar, a distance of more than 200 miles, which he had never traversed before, through a billy country cut up by water-courses. The shoit time in which he performed that journey proved that he must have taken the direct road, keeping to it, without ever goiug out of his way."

Sr. DAVIDS LITERARY SOCIETY, LIVERPOOL. The above society held its annual tea party and soiree on the 23rd nIt" in the Liverpool Institute, Mount-street, when upwards of five hundred persons partook of an excellent tea, and afterwards eujoyed the intellectual treat pro- vided for them on the occasion. The chair was taken at half p iftt seven, in the hall of the institute, by the Hev. J. James. B.D., the respected incumbent of St. Davids; and the rev. gtmtlewau iu addressing the meeting made gome very apptopriaie remai ks on Mutual Improvement S cic ieo, lie Ulaintainell that slIcieties for mutual aud mental improvement, in order to effect lasting and per. manent good, should be based upou right principles. They should be fouuded upon the great aud eternal prillcil,le8 revealed in Holy II rit; a mere scnlar organi- sation was like a ship tossed to and fro ou a dark, dis- mal and misty night among the boisterous billows of caprice, philosophy, uncertainty and infidelity, without either chait or rudder, left to the mercy of wind and waves, and at last dashed against the rocks and wrecked. Mutual Improvement Societies should be conducted upou christian principles, and be the mean- of fostering at least profound respect and esteem for the sacred volume; they should aim, too at a standard of high and pure moralIty, aud should cultivate a spirit of candour, temperance, truthfulness, meek ness, gentleness, noble- ness of disposition, suavity of manners, brotherly love, sympathetic feeiiugs for the poor, unfortunate distressed, and bereaved classes of the commuuity. A society fixing upon a lofty standard of mllrality wa. invariably imbued with life, health and vigour, and guided by reason; consequently moved onward towards perfection, and surmounted all obstacles and difficulties. The famous Origen, owing to the imperfect state of the natural sciences in the third century, coucluded from the motions of the celestial orbs that they were endowed » with I fe, and from the regularity of their motions iu revolving along their respective orbits that they were endowed with reason; hence, he held that the moons, stars and suns were nothing less than so many gigantic rational auimals, diverting themselves by cantering over the boundless regions of space. lIe (the Chairman) had no need to tell them that such puei ilp theories have been by this time fully exploded by modern discoveiies in the science uf astronomy but it was a fact that would bear the most scrutinising test, that progress, onward movemeutiu societies and communities must be a proof of inward life aud order and discipline, a proof of the sovereignty of reason over animal propensities.

CBINOLINK AND SMUGGLING.—The capacity of the criuoiiue as a medium for smuggling has again been called into requisition on behalf of the prohibited French publication, La lunterne. Iu the Arueuues de. partment a bookseller aud four women have been p. o- secuted for introducing the objectionable print, and some others, iuto France. The accused had been searched 011 arriving fruiu Belgium, when tile women were found to have 1,886 copies of the Luiilernc, and niuety eight ou. scene engiaviugs, sewed up in their crinolines. T^ hey said that they had been paid thirty francs and the cost ot their journey to come from Brussels iuto trance, but were iguoraut as to the nature of the articles which they were smuggling, as the crinoliues had beeu given to tbeiu prepared beforehand to put on. They received a light seutellCe, though it eeUl" odd that this plea should succeed. Prepared" crinoliues are not usually selected as Chiistmas boxes. The bookseller, however, was visited severely-eight months' iuiprisouuieut and a liue of £ 40. DKKPSEA FiS[IIN(;Tlie French Marine Depaitment has published the statistics of deep sea fishing for 8o7, from which it results that the money value of the take amounted to 66,7 45,OUuf., being an auguieutatiou of i,013)171f. over that for 18U6. That increase i. ex- plaiuaJ partly by the great abuudauce of sardines, and partly by an improvement in the meaus of ascertaining the sales in different markets. On inquiry into the details of the gross sum, it would appear that the pro- duce of cod is represented by 14, ö65,08f.; sardine, 13,U35,816f.; bemug, 7,738,32if.; mackerel,■>,357,95vJf.; all other kiuds ot lisb, ,2,b73,144i. The value of the shell fishery reaches the figure ot 3,565,458f., of which lJ70.97of. are set down for oyste.s, aud 1,279,631 f. for mussels. Tue compara- tive iusiguificauce of the former is accouuted for by the tact that the produce ouly of the banks open to geueml use is weutioucd, thoso belonging to pi ivaie individual, and which would greatly eularge the amount, not being taken into consideration. THE DECISION ON T1IK. RITUALISTIC QUESTION. The following is a more extended notice of the judg- ment giveu by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council upon the question of Ritualism in the case of Martin v. Alackonochie, than we were able to give last we?k:- In delivering judgment Lord Cairns said that the case before the Couit of Arches resolved itself into fuur points—prostration or kneeling before the consecrated elements, and elevation of the elements, the use of lighted candles, of incense, and tniriug water with wine. But the only points upon which there was an appeal to the Privy Council were two, alld the first was the charge of kneeling and prostrating efore the consecrated ele- ments, aud elevating the same, and further that Mr \Iack"nuchie had sanctioned those acts by other clerks. With legard to the evideuce upon that last point.the sanctiuning vr permission tv other clerks-the i'ourt thought the evideuce too vague to allow any weight to be attached to it. The elevatiou of the elements by the respondent had been suspended the question, however, remained for the conai leratiou of the Court. On refer- ring to the t{uhric, their Lordships were led to the cunvictiuD that it required the minister > remain in one posture during the prayer of consecration. The words standing before the table" applied to the whole 8en- teuce, and this was the more apparent by the considera- tion that the acts performed were to be done before the people, liy changing his posture the respondent had violated the Rub' ic, and was open to admonition'. Under the statute of Elizabeth they were of opinion that it was not open to a minister ot the Church, or to their Lord- ships in advising the Queeu to draw a dIstInctIOn III act. which were a violation or departure from the Ru- bric, betweeu those which were important and those which appeared to be trivial. No omission from, aad no addition to, what the Ruirie directed could be permit- ted. Their l.ordahips also thought that the words 1, meekly kueeliug" applied to the celebraut as well as to the other clerks aud people. If Mr Mackonocbie had kuelt other than during the reception (If the ele- ments their Lordships thought it ought not to form the subject of a criminal proceeding. The Court considered that the charge of kueeliug duriog the prayers of conse- cration had beeu sustaihed, aud their Lordships further that tbe fractice of eleva- tion had beeu suspended that he should be admonished to a 'stain from elevating the eleuieuts, and from kueel- iug or prostrating himself during the prayer of cousecra- tion, or before tl.e elements after consecration. The question as to whether the kneeling amouuted to adora- tiou hippily did not come before them. The secoud point upon which the Couit had to give an opinion was that of using caudles whell n..t wahtert for the purpose of giving light: and the sanctioning the usiug of lighted candles by otliets. lu reply to this, Vlr Nl,-tektjt)o(:bie pleaded that the lighted cimdles were placed upon a narrow movable edge of wood, aud were lighted during the major part of the service. That the use of the lighted candies was a ceremony their Lor<1suip. had no rlo" bt, aud it wa so regarded by the Council of Trent. Hy the statute of Llizibeth it wae ma le penal to intio- duce auy ceremollies in addition to those mentioned in tile Prayer Book, and the ceremonies were there Ilaillly divided iuto two classes, those which were retained an 1 those which were abolished, and all were considered abolished which were not specifically retained. A point had eell strongly urged un behalf of the respondent that lighted candles were pel missible as a cereinouial uuder an injunction of 1547, which directed their use in significance of Clnist being the very light uf the World Their Lordships, however, considered that in- jnuction could not be allowed as an authoiity. If ever it weie, it was now repealed by the 1st of Elizabeth, C'\P :J. section '27, by the I'rayer Book, and by the Act of Uniformity. The lighted candles were clearly not ornauieuts in the words of the Rubric, nor were they prescribed by the authority of Padiameut thereiu mell- tioned, namely, the tirst I'rayer Liook. I hey weie not subsidiary to the service, much less were they necessary to the service. Tlieir Lordships were therefore of opi- niulI that the respondent must be admonished with rt). spect to the question of the use of candles. Further, all the charges having been thus established, the usual result as to costs, both ill the previous trial aud in this appeal, would fall upon Mr Mackonochie. Ttte following members of the Cunrt. were present:- Lord Cairns. Lord Chelmsford, Sir W. Erie, Lord Col- ville, Sir E. V. Williams, and the Archbishop of York. The Standard thus concludes an article reviewing the judgment of the P,j\.y Cnuncil The lIIall, be he cleric, or lay, whose faith in the Church of E. gland i, by this juilgtueut, must be a very sliifty dis- ciple ilJdpd-Ollu of those loosely-set gems of her coro- uet which tutiii-le off at. a breath or astir. On the other hand, thousands of Chnrchmeu of the opposite school will welcome it with piotouiid thankfulness, as testifying ou the highest authority that the Church of ElIl(lanlt is n"t bnuud tu a Ûavi.h imitation of the frip- perie. of meditcval 1 'pery. If they are inclined to be too exultaut, we would whisper to theiii that this is a judgment which ClIt. both ways, It puts the Ritualists to rebuke, it is true, but it iuaugmates the regime of rnbrical exactness, of Chinese miuute"e"s. The Ritual- ists suffer because they have rlepilrted from the strict letter of the law, but what is the corollary ? We re- commend the Low Church clergy generally, and par- ticularly those i f the peisecuting party iu the Church Association, to read this judgmeut over carefully a second time, and to compute fraukly and courageously how many distinct violations of rubrical law they are guilty of every time they celebrate public worship, It will be found that the law thus positively laid down will not be allowed to remain a dead letter. It will be invoked as freelv to rebuke errors in the way of defect as of excess. The habitual violators of rubrics will uot be allowed to go scot free while the cerelJJoniahst is rua Ie heavily resp.u^ible for overlaying them with additional minutiae. It will be 11. t-appy thiog for the Church if both parties agree to mould their future action in accoidance with the spirit of this judgment. On the one baud, the worship of the Church will be less marred by frippery and the covert aping of the Roman ritual; on the other, it will gain iu comeliness and dignity. A clergyman in the Bingor Diocese sends us the following comment It is to be hoped that both extremes in the Church will tike serious waruing from the judgmeut pronounced by the highest Court of Appeal. Neither the ultra-High uor the ultra-Low can indulge his own crotchets ani ideas, but all must eon form to what the law of the Church has laid chiwn as the law of all Churchiueu. The rubrics of the Book of Common Prayer deifne most clearly aud intelligibly what is the course ordered by the Church, aiod that course must be strictly followed. There are parties io tills diocese who habitually leave out this or that part of the ssrvice of tbe ( but-cli to spare themselves, or to please some of their bearer8. Let them do so no more, or they will be incurring very serious danger." Or. I'usey writes a letter to the Times in which he complains that the Judicial Committee in their j ndg- ment iu th" r.r..ckulJOchie case have not interpreted the robiic as to kneeling at the Holy Corumuuiun gram- maiically. Comparing the last with former judgments, w here matters wf doctrine were iuvulvell, Dr. Pusey thiuk" there is good abound for the world" to accuse the highest cuurt 0/ appeal of playing fast and loose" looge," wheuever it is the question ef allow. ing any matter of faith tu be clishelieved f¡lRt," wheu it is the question of not allowing anything to he be- lieved which popular the union of Church aud State," the doctor adds, "involves this ultimate laxity and more than rigidness in the con- struction of our formuliries, involving the deuial of true ductrine and the pruhiIJitiol1 of practice which repre- sents doctrine, it certainly will be the earnest desire and prayer of Churchmen that the precedent now u..ing sev as to the Irish Establishment may be speedily followed as to the English."

Mr Mackonochie did not carry out the recent judg- ment, on Chr.stmas Day, at St. Albans, with regard to the points on which he had appealed from the decision of Sir U. Philliuiore. The rev. gentleman had the candles lighted at the usual time, and knelt before the altar, both at the end of the prayer for the consecration of the broad, and at that for the wine. It is said that Mr Maekoiiocbie had not received any official notice of the judgment of the Privy Council, and therefore consi- dered himself at liberty to adopt the practices to which he has beeu accustomed. On Suuday, also, lighted candles were used at the "high celebration," The Rev. Arthur H. Stanton preached a short sermon from the Epistle of the day (St. John the Evangelist's day), "Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his son Jesus Christ. Ihe pieacher said a grievous wroug had been done them- whether by the Judicial Committee or by the promoters of the late suit the preacher did not say-but it bad not uarre their sacred joy, and. perhaps, this was the hap- piest Christmas they had ever spent or should spend. I'heir aim, he said, was not to obtain power, nor to master tbe intelligence of England, but to win the hearts of the people, and this they were doing. Since the wrong they had sustained had become known they had received the warmest demonstrations of sympathy, and in hundreds of Christian homes St. Alban s, Hot. born, had been remembered this ChrUtmau with love and prayer. After observing that patient endurance of wrong was one of the means by which the world was to be wou fur Christ, the preacher, without any formal COUCIUHIOU, descended the pulpit stairs, and resumed his cl.i.n, The service then proceeded, Mr p a, in the .Mackonoehie himself being the celebrant.

As Russiau priucesses have uot hitherto beeu permitted to change their religion on their marriage, Roman Catholic liavaria, in the event of the alliance, will have to waive its scruples, and be satisfied with a Greek Catholic queen. The Gibraltar Chronicle reports that an earthquake shock was distiuctly felt in various paits of the town at 10.50 a.m., ou the 8th instant. It was severe at the upper and lower sigual stations, aud also at the Wind- mill-hill telegraph station, where the clerks were throwu oir their chairs. The shock was accompanied by a rum- bling noise not unlike thunder or heavily-laden waggons passing along a paved øtrool," but no material damage was reported. Much comment has been caused in Plymouth by a geueral order promulgated by the second commandant of marines, in the absence of the colonel commandant, Colonel Forbes, forbidding officers and men of the Royal Marines from entering Plymouth Theatre. This order has been issued in cousequence of jocular allu- sions to the marines in tbe pantomime, and the secoad commandant has stationed guards at each duor of the theatre. No previous intimation was given to the lessee of this extraordinary conduct, although many of the band and supernumeraries belonged to the marines. SHOCK IN (i FATALITY AT A RAILWAY STATION. -An accident happened at Shrewsbury Railway Station on Mouday night, whereby a passenger named Smith met with a fearful death. Mr Smith was going to Leaton by the Great Western line, and having takeu tickets for himself aud his mother and sister, who accompanied him, he waited about on the platform till the traiu came in. Meanwhile the London and North-weateru train was despatched, a.,l it passed the west end uf tue platform, an extra guard in one of the vans noticed Mr Smith standing very near the edge, aod warned him back. Mr Smith turned on his heel to retire, but his foot slipped, and the guard saw him fall back and dis- appear beneath the train. Eight freighted carriages passed over him, and when he was picked up he was fonull to be in a dreadfully mutilated state, and died on being carried to the infirmary.

A coroner's jury has returned a verdict of manslaugh- ter against a negro named Felix Victor, for stabbing John Buckley on Saturday night, at Ratcliff. The police magistrates differed from the jury, for he bas committed Victor for wilful murder. A deputation of working men of London, who are sharholders in the Mutual Land Emigration and Colo- nisation Company, have waited upon the AUleric8n Minister for the purpose úf soliciting his advice aud co. operation with reference to a scheme of emigration to the Uuited States. Mr Johnson promised that what- ever could be done to assist the. should he done. THE ROYAL MARINES.—Iu addition to the reductions already carried into etteet by the Admiralty in the corps of Royal Marine Artillery, it was last week announced at Chatham that the 4th or Woolwich Division of Royal Marines Light Infantry wili be reduced to the exteutof seven companies, a corresponding reduction being at he same tiwe made in the number of officers, by placing a certain portion on half pay. Two old Austrian diplomatists have received a hint, which, as it touches their pockets, they will probably attend to. They are Baron Hubner and Count de Blome. and it seems that they have been employing themselves at Rome--where they reside in retirment- in fomenting hostility towards the Emperor and Govern- ment of Austria. They have beeu told that their diplo- matic pensious will not be paid unless they remove themselves from a Jesuitical intrigue which is goiug on at the Vatican, with a view of creating difficulties, through church influence, in the Austiian empire. A DOCTOR IN A DIFFICULTY.— A curious incident oc- curred the other day in the Upper House at Munich. The celebrated Catholic historian, Dr Von Dollinger, having beeu made a senator by the King, was introdu- ced iuto the chamber and took the usual oaths, but ou being required to produce some evidence of his baptism it appealed he had no baptismal certificate. He knew where he was born, but wheu or where lie bad beeu christened he was utterly unable to say. This caused no Little amusement in the house, but as it was taken for granted that so eminent a member of the Catholic hier- archy must have been baptised, he was allowed to take his seat without fuitlier difficulties. A BIGAMIST ON HIS TRAVELS.—A curious story ap- pears in the New York pipers. A young man of pre- possessing appearauce, who represented himself to be in good circumstances, and about to take a far,. in the neighbourhood, ingratiated himself into the favour of a small farmer named Sing-Sing. He remained at the house for two days, attended Diviue sei vice, and oil the Sunday attejded the Suuday school and delivered a lec- ture to the children. On the Suuday evening he mar- ried the farmer's {¡\lighter. Oil Tuesday he left for New York, and never returned, lie was next heard of at Poughkeepsie. Whilst travelling to that place he fell in love "-1,11 a young lady w ho Wa returning home. The villain stated he had just returned from California, and want,d to purchase a farm. The lady became so ena- moured of him, that she at, once consented to become his wife wheu asked on the same evening. The next morning they were married. II e relllaiued with his new i^ite two days, awl the. left her, alld he was heatd of a few days afterward at Pleasant Valley. II e became on good terms with a fanner there, aud proposed to the daughter, who, not admiring such a hasty step, declined. The next day he left, stating that he was going to buy a wajgon, and had not since been heard of. War CHRISTMAS WEATUER IS NOT so COLD AS FOR. MKULY. The real reason of the change is, not that the oil-fashioned weather has deserted Christmas, but that every Christmas 8iuce that of 1752 lias deserted the old-fashioned weather. Oil that memorable occasion of the change from the old to the new style, an alteration of 11 days took place in the seasons, and immediately what ha,1 been the 5th of January iu 1751 became the 25t,b of 1)"eember in 1752. Now, if we recollect, it is jost about that on the otb of Januiry and onward from it that the coldest weather of the year comes oil even in this later days of ours. The great frost of nearly two years back, the most intense that has occurred in En. glaud since scieutilic tests have been widely used, began oil the 3rd of January, and the records of the average of years will show much the same lesult., the greatest cold being almost invaiiably from that time to the end of the month. So let those of (Jur readers who are in. clined to be sentimental, and to wish for frozen ground and suowladen trees, robins reduced by huuger and cold to an unnatural state of tameaess, and other ame- nities of the period, remember that when a Christmas of the puets is not to the fore, that it is not so much the season that is in fault as the now corrected aberra- tions of the Julian system of calculating the length of the year. If they really feel strongly on the subject, they have fortunately the option of migrating to Russia, where the old system is still iu vogue, where Christmas Day now comes off on our Twelfth-day, and will get later and later in the course of time if the Russians do not give in their adhesion, some time or other, to the comparatively speaking, new order of things, which has now beeu in use for 286 years over the greater part of the coutiueutof Europe.—Land and Water. THE Ex-PREMIER.—We quote the following from the New York Times, a Republican journal, as the views of au impartial witness of the elections in this country :— Mr Disraeli's bite speech to hi. constituents is a model of calm and dignified comment on public affairs, and if it wtie in Mr Gladstone's nature ever to make such a speech even his warmest friends, would be better satis- fie,l with him. The Premier concluded with au appeal to the impartial judgment of the great body of his couutrymen, which has sensibly affected the great body of his opponents, and extorted from them the admission that he has worked well and faithfully for his country. How bitterly they have assailed him-with what slander and venom for more than thirty years past. They have cried out, that he is insincere' uutil all but a few who have closely studied bis career believe the charge. Now they have got him down, and some of them can afford to i e just. Itis my sincere conviction that Mr Pisraeli has the faculty of governing iti a degree which has been onfeired upon no other public man of our time, and that it lie had ever gained a fair chance he would have made one of the greatest rulers Englaud has ever had. I have read his speeches from his entrance into parlia- meut, and studied attentively his long career. Few of those who assail him have been at the same pains to form a j'lst opinion. I have marked the malignant ingenuity with which almost every word he utters is perverted and twisted out of its proper meanitig-how one sentence is singled out from the context aud deliberately garbled, how many enemies he has had and how few friends, how pitilessly the storm of slander has beaten upon him f ir five-and-tbirty years, and how heroically he has fougllt agamst it-and, notiug thpse things, I am per. suaded that wheu he is no longer living among us, peo- pie will at once recognise his greatness, and lavish praises over the death of the man tbey sought to dis- honour. Never in English history was a public man so suamdully denied justice as Mr Disraeli has been. And why ? The Llberalo are a majority in this country, and Mr Disraeli has more than once wrested power froui them They hate hiin mortally. They cannot deny- his genius, aud sú t,hey dd,\lJ}e his character. They con- sider this most suggestive fact: the Fuglish press is all on the Libeial side. Think of the effect of tbis-it is stuoeudous. The world receives its impressions of Euglish politics from the advocates of one side. The English newspapers which reach you represent Mr Dis raeli as the incarnation of hypocrisy, the enemy of the poor, the champion of oppression, the great obstructor of all measureS designed for the welfare of the masses. Of what avail is it for me to assert that these attacks are dictated by the necessities of party warfare ? I know the fact to be 80-1 have even known Liberals admit it alter dinner. The prublem i how to THill this lUan of genius, whose name is Disraeli, iu the estimatiun of his countrymen ? N. single fue can grapple with him-that has been tried over and over again. The Radical cham- pion has been sent out to challenge the despised 'ad- venturer' of Jewish birth, and the people have been in- vited to see the final downfall of an impostor.' But always the Radical returned bleeding aud vanquished. How, then, to destroy him; by raising up a prejudice against him from olie end of the country to the other? Is uot the old weapou the safest ? Slander never fails. Let the party which has the comuBnd of the press fasten a nickname upon Mr VisJ,\eli, and lay in wait to shoot poisoned arrows at hiin. Carry ou that process 35 years, aud where is the victim of these tactics likely to be ? Defeated at a general eleclioil-or victorious ? Let your readers, who are familiar with party warfare, answer that question, and by their answer judge how much chance Mr Disraeli had of succeeding at the polls.

A MELANCHOLY STORY.—OU Monday eveuiDg, the 21st ult, during the hejvy gale from the east, a t-choouer named the KiulofS, belonging to Aberdeen, was totally wrecked at bkiteraw, a^out s x miles north from St ue- haven. Tne 8ch'IHIHr h,l it'ft Sun¡1etLt}j,1 on Sunday morning, laden with coals for Ab-rdeeo, and had only leached Skateraw when she was duven towards the shore and became a total wre, k I he schooner hid nearly succeeded in etfectiug an entrance to what would have iieen a haven of comparative safety when she was struck on the port side by a heavy sea, and driven -,ti her beam ends, and theu on to a ledge of rock to the north of the smdl harbour Though the vessel was close in shore, the water was deep all tound her, and the soa was running very high, Xú that it was almost impos- sible to reuder any assistance. One man, nevertheless, mauaged to throw a liue on l<oard to which a heavy stone was attached, and one of the crew of the ill-fated vessel succeeded ill fastening the line to the f,)retnpIUH;t. It was tlwuglJt th,lt I,)' this means the ciew ini^ht manage to laud but they were So much exhausted that it was soon evideut that, if no"ther means were adopted, they would all perish. There was no lifeboat and no rocket apparatus at hand but Lieutenant Cr.wden, of the CUa8tguard, along with one fisherman and some others, volunteered to approach the vessel in a coble. By the time the Coble was launched the schooner had drifted still further up, and hal turuei broadside to- wards the laud. hy means of the rope already refeired to, Lieutenant Crowden nnd his four brave c< mpaLiout managed to get below one of the schooner's m.ists oa seeing which the crew 1'£ the 8c!Jooul-'r c1amhere,) along one of the yards and dropt frotn it int,) the coble, aud were safely Unded tlU s hure. The worst part of tile nar- rative, however, has yet to be told. So soou as tie ves- sel neared the land, it was seen that there was a m ,n lashed to the helm, alid he, 01 course, was unahle to sive himself 1U the satre manner as his conipiu-ons had d"118. lJa, kuess had now closed in, and the sea was stillas huh, and those on shore were at a loss how to rescue the poor man left on hoard, who was seen to move as the ship robed. A ploughman, with aluvst reckless fortjtu 's. managed to get on board, and found the poor man almost dead, still tied to the helm and jammed between the vessel's boom and a part of the bulwarks. He endea- voured to relieve the unf >rtunate, hilt had to relinquish his etfort. ili order to save his own life. The man there- fore who had guided the vessel so far on the voyage had to be left on boa«d to perish. The vessel very soon went to pieces.—Scotsman.
