A kind of triangular duel (the_ missiles being notes) has been performed. Austria sends a note to France, France sends a note to Russia, Russia sends a note to Austria. What the contents are seems to matter little, and to concern no one less than the King of Naples, who is represented as in merry mood, joking about two missing fleets of which no one can give any information. I f we are informed aright, his Majesty has reason for his mirth. We hear that he has been requested by the Western Powers to relieve them from their difficulty by drawing up himself the ultimatum which is then to be tendered to him on their part. When the King of Naples shall have thus conceded to the dictation o f England and France the terms which had been previously dictated by himself to them, we shall be told that the Neapolitan difficulty has been solved. — Another act of the interesting drama now performing on the Spanish stage has been acted since our last. Narvaez is Prime Minister of Spain. No one attempts to disguise the importance of the fact, yet the appearance on the scene of the principal character has so long been looked for that, though he entered suddenly at last, no one can be said to have been taken by surprise. O f course some interest is felt as to the effect o f this step on the mind of the inscrutable chieftain of the French. An idea has prevailed that the Emperor was the supporter of O’Donnell. Our impression is, that this will prove to have been a mistake, and that Louis Napoleon has seen'at least as far as others, who, from the first, prognosticated that events would take their course, that their natural tendency was the restoration of Narvaez, and that O’Donnell’s attempt to keep power, without any party in his favour, must necessarily prove unsuccessful. The Duke of Valencia is in a different position. He has, at any rate, a party at his back, while his influence with the army is, or at least used to be, superior to that of any other. Still it may be said of Spain, as of the Church, no man is necessary to her. The Spanish mind, however strange it may seem to the Times, is still cast in the old mould. Loyal to the Crown, personally attached to his Sovereign, devoted to his Church, because a sincere and unquestioning believer in revealed religion, the uncorrupted Spaniard is not to be guaged, or measured, or tested by the ideas o f other lands. His strong originality is still intact, and the temporary confusions, changes, and revolutions in the political sphere which have for so many years retarded the material prosperity of his country, have worked no change in him. The Church and the Crown» are the objects of his regard, and we may estimate the duration of power in the hands of any Minister by his relation to these two powers. It is stated that the Government has determined that the questions affecting the Church shall be solved in the only proper manner— viz., by considering the Concordat with the Holy See in full force, by giving full effect to its provisions, and by making it the rule of conduct. As to the part played by England, or rather by Lord Palmerston, for it is little short of treason to one’s country to identify the two, we have another humiliating instanceof impertinence to record. The English charge d ’a ffa ires has handed in (not a protest as was reported), but a note, informing the Queen that the peace o f Europe will be compromised if the Queen Mother be allowed to return! It is truly wonderful. What will these good Whigs do next ? 9 H F u r n it u r e a n d F in e A r t s :— ^*-jdan’s Baptismal Fonts, Church Bells, & c .— G. and C .

According to this gentleman, who says “ that the man who, without “ sufficient cause, would light the flames o f civil war, “ is a dastard, a demon, guilty of the sin of Cain, the “ worst of murderers, and a fratricide,” thc election of Colonel Fremont as President of the United States, by the votes of a majority of his fellow-citizens, is a sufficient cause. He says it will be a proclamation of war, and asks, “ what will you do if this “ proclamation of war is made ? Do you ask me “ what 1 will do ? I say to you that I reserve rny “ answer for the present.” That is already an immense come down, but nothing compared to the bathos of the following sentence :— “ Considering the question deliberately, calmly, “ and being well fortified in the thought, I delibe“ rately say to you that I will do •whatever you •will “ back me in to save us or die.” Oh ! lame and impotent conclusion. — W e give elsewhere Mr. Thomas Gladstone’s account of American civilisation. As to the story in the Times of Wednesday about the duellings and murders in the railway trains in Georgia, the leading journal has shown such a boundless capacity for swallowing hoaxes and canards in the recent adventures of his correspondent “ Nuncio,” from Dublin, that we must at present decline to attach any faith to the statement. — Apropos to the anti-slavery agitation, and to the philanthropic spirit of the north, so much relied on by Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowe, we find that a judgment of the Supreme Court at New York has just decided that “ coloured persons” cannot legally be excluded from public carriages plying for hire. Think of the tender consideration for the civil and political rights of the Negro implied by such a question having to be solemnly decided by a decision of the Supreme Court. — A Catholic journal, Le B itn Public, of Ghent, publishes a letter written from England by a Catholic, “ who is really acquainted with English society.” The purport of the article is to explain that the English Catholics, while they recognise the merits ana charms of M. de Montalembert’s “ Essay on the Political future of England,” consider that M. de Montalembert’s judgment has been too favourable, and that he has left out of consideration much that would have qualified or changed his conclusions. It is quite true that many Catholics have so expressed themselves. This is not the place to review M. de Montalembert’s work, though our impression of it is, that it did not profess to give an account of the state of the lower classes of the population, but that, presupposing a sufficient knowledge of the actual state of things in his readers, he drew attention to the political future o f the country, as to which he augured favourably, for the reasons which he gave, after due deduction made for all reasons to the contrary, whether expressly stated or not. Be this as it may, the correspondent of the Bien Public is certainly not qualified to supply M. de Montalembert’s supposed omissions. No one who knows English society would say of the working classes that “ the “ greater part are men, whose Gospel is B e l t s L i fe in “ London." Every Englishman knows this to be a ludicrous blunder. That there are a class of beggars and thieves below the working classes, “ whose mode “ of existence is a perpetual enigma,” is true, though not much to the point. But to quote as “ a fact” that “ in England and Wales alone, out of a popula“ tion of sixteen or seventeen million inhamtants, “ nearly two millions of individuals are shut up in “ ‘ poorhouses,” ’ and “ that others receive help at “ home,” can only be considered as an astonishingly daring experiment on the credulity of the Bien Public. The total number of paupers receiving relief in poorhouses and at their own homes, is less than 900,000, of whom upwards of 100,000 are “ shut “ up in the poorhouses.” The accounts are published annually, and our friends in Belgium will, we hope, rejoice to find that our case, though bad, is not so desperate as Bien Public has been persuaded to believe. — The Crimean Banquet is to come off upon the 22nd. The exertions of the committee seem to have met with complete success, and the arrangements to be made both with foresight and good taste. As the French ambassador at Moscow profited by the lesson learned at the ball of his English ally, the Irish committee seems to have determined to repair the shortcomings of the London banquet to the Guards. Each hero is to have a quart of stout, which is to be “ topped up” by a pint of “ fine old fruity port.” W e hope the heads of our warriors are as stout as their hearts, or the consequences to many may be dangerous. Moreover, the Lord Lieutenant and the members of the committee dine at the tables of the soldiery, and preside as hosts, supported by the more distinguished guests. This is as it should be. And we have only to add, with Lady Macbeth, “ May good “ digestion wait on appetite.” — The news from Melbourne tells us of an attempt to raise a No-Popery cry against Charles Gavan Duffy, and of a preliminary meeting to consider the principles which should guide electors in their choice of representatives. A committee of twenty-four was appointed, and disagreed. The majority and minority both drew up reports, both made civil and religious liberty and equality the first article in their programme, but the majority omitted the declaration against state aid to religion. The anti-state-aid-to-reiigion agitation is a No-Popery movement. It has had some success, but as, by the Melbourne Argus, it appears that 88 per cent, of the population are in receipt of this aid, and only 8 per cent, refuse it, the movement for the present is not likely to succeed. The recusants are Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Quakers, and Independents. ^ccono €Dition* N A P L E S . T h e Paris correspondent o f the Times, writing on Wednesday, says:— “ This day, in all probability, the note of the allies will have been communicated to the K in g of Naples. I f the K in g persists in refusing the concessions required, the whole o f the French Legation is to be withdrawn. It is, o f course, presumed that similar instructions have been sent to the British embassy. W ith respect to the fleets, it is expected that the French squadron will proceed to Malta to join the British, and that both will await the final answer o f the K in g . I f they are required they will proceed tonvards, but not to, the Italian coast.” T h e Ost. Deutsche Post states that the ambassadors of the western powers have been recalled from Naples. — T h e Univers says that the Pope has signed an amnesty for 30 persons condemned for the affair o f Nov. 16th, 184.9. T H E M E D I T E R R A N E A N F L E E T . Marseilles, Oct. 17th. W e have intelligence from A jaccio to the 4th inst. Admiral Dundas, having received telegraphic instructions from the Admiralty by way o f France, has left with Ins squadron. A t Toulon it is rumoured that the French squadron is about to set sail. D E F E A T O F T H E RU S S IA N S IN C IR C A S S IA . Sefer Pasha has beaten the Russians in Circassia and taken 800 prisoners anil 21 guns. F R A N C E . Rumours of a strike amongst some classes of the Paris workmen were rife yesterday. Should it occur it has nothing o f a menacing character. T h e only danger is in political agitators taking advantage of it. U N I T E D S T A T E S . Liverpool, Thursday. T h e screw steamer Kangaroo arrived in the Mersey to-day, with advices from Philadelphia to the 2nd inst. No political news of importance. President Pierce was continuing his tour. Yellow fever still prevailed at Brooklyn ; its ravages somewhat mitigated. A t Louisville on the 29th o f September three large warehouses were destroyed by fire ; loss large. Engine Depot at Atalanta also destroyed by fire— loss 100,000 dollars. IM P O R T A N T M EM O R A N D U M . (From Friday N ight’s London Gazette.) W a r Department, Oct. 17th. Cornets Lord Ernest Vane Tempest and W illiam J . Birt, of the 4th Light Dragoons, are dismissed from her Majesty’s army in consequence of conduct unbecoming officers and gentlemen, and subversive o f good order and discipline, as reported to her Majesty by the General Commanding-in-Chief. T h e Queen has directed that the corps o f Royal Sappers and Miners shall be henceforth denominated the Corps o f Royal Engineers, and form one body with the existing Royal Engineers. _— T h e stock ofbullion in the bank has not been so low since 1846. For the week ending Saturday, Oct. n t h , it amounted to 10,140,076/., being a decrease o f 644,190/. as compared with the previous week. During the two weeks ending Oct. n t h the bank has parted with coin and bullion to the amount of 1,629,305/,____________ — T h e Postmaster-General gave notice on Tuesday that mails for Australia will be made up in the General Post Office on the morning o f the 18th inst., to be conveyed by the steamer Oneida. Curious Church Patronage Case.— T h is reference to the system o f Ecclesiastical patronage brings us by an easy stage to a recent curiously-illustrative case in the law courts. A testator bequeathed to seven children an advowson, which was to be sold after the death of the occupant (also a son), the proceeds being equally divided. T h a t contingency has now occurred, but the anti-simony laws forbid the sale o f the living while vacant. W hat is to be done under such circumstances ? Present to it, say three o f them, considerately, a Parson we have in the family— one o f the testator’s grandsons. N a y ! exclaim the others, with a keener eye to the main chance, present some aged Clergyman— the older the better— and then sell the advowson, taking care that the auctioneer discreetly dwells on the decrepitude o f the present occupant! T h e ViceChancellor, whose intervention is sought, rejects both alternatives, and says that the presentation must be by seniority. T h e Lord Chancellor overrules this, and decrees that the living may be sold, in accordance with the testator’s wishes; but that in order to make it saleable, the legatees must d r aw lots for the right o f presentation ! W hat an exquisite satire on the whole system o f Church patronage ! Observe how nicely careful is the law to guard the rights o f property, but how completely indifferent to the welfare o f those whose spiritual interests are affected by the question at issue. But has not Sydney Smith told us, and with complacency, that the Establishment is a “ lottery ?” ■— Liberator. T he R ev. Mr. Gorham and his Parishioners. — On Friday, the magistrates of Exeter were engaged in hearing an information preferred by the Rev. G . C . Gorham, o f Bamford Speke, against Thomas Vesey, the landlord o f the Agricultural Inn, for keeping his house open at an unseasonable hour. T h e annual revel o f the village was held on the 25th ultimo, and a large room attached to defendant’s house was engaged for dancing and singing. A bout eleven o’ clock the Rev. M r. Gorham and the Rev. Mr. Holmes entered the house, and ordered it to be cleared by the constables, which was done, ju s t before the house closed Mr. W . Baker, a young farmer, who lives with his mother, arrived from Exeter, and not wishing to disturb his mother he ordered a bed at defendant’s, but hearing M r. Gorham was in the house he went out to avoid altercation, and returned after the Reverend gentleman was gone. T h e place being quiet defendant asked Mr. Baker to have a glass of grog, and had just served them when Mr. Gorham returned with constables, rebuked defendant, and ordered Mr. Baker to drink up his grog and go home. He said it was too hot, on which Mr. Gorham directed the constables to turn him out, which they were about to do, when a threat from Mr. Baker as to their illegal proceedings caused them to desist. T h e bench at once dismissed the summons, as was also the case in a secohd charge against Mr. Baker of throwing a turf at the Reverend gentleman, but which was. uPon as a counter charge to that expected from M r. Baker for the assault committed upon him. Shipping C asualties on the Norfolk and Suffolk Coast.— Last week was again a disastrous one to the shipping on the eastern coast. T h e Sardinian ship Trenton, Vicini master, came in collision with a brigantine schooner in Hasborough gatway. T h e schooner immediately foundered, and all hands were lost, notwithstanding that strenuous exertions were made to save them. The name of the schooner is not known. T h e Electra, Turnbull master, o f W h itb y , was run into a few miles north of Great Yarmouth by a schooner, name unknown. T h e Electra sustained great damage, and went ashore at Palling crew saved. T h e schooner Charlotte, Hardy master, from Hartlepool, o f and for Weymouth, struck on the Newcomesand off Lowestoft. She struck so heavily that she soon began to fill, and the crew, who were compelled to abandon her, were landed at Lowestoft in a yawl. T h e Palmyra, Keslake master, ° f Tpignmouth, from Newcastle for Torquay, came in collision with a brig, name unknown, and a terrific crash took place, the stern o f the Palmyra being driven completely in. T h e brig took no notice, and left Captain Keslake and his crew to their fate. They were afterwards picked up by the Bell, o f Maldon, and landed at Lowestoft in an entirely destitute condition. They were forwarded to their homes by the honorary agents of the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society. Other minor accidents are also reported.

No one attempts to disguise the importance of the fact, yet the appearance on the scene of the principal character has so long been looked for that, though he entered suddenly at last, no one can be said to have been taken by surprise. O f course some interest is felt as to the effect o f this step on the mind of the inscrutable chieftain of the French. An idea has prevailed that the Emperor was the supporter of O’Donnell. Our impression is, that this will prove to have been a mistake, and that Louis Napoleon has seen'at least as far as others, who, from the first, prognosticated that events would take their course, that their natural tendency was the restoration of Narvaez, and that O’Donnell’s attempt to keep power, without any party in his favour, must necessarily prove unsuccessful. The Duke of Valencia is in a different position. He has, at any rate, a party at his back, while his influence with the army is, or at least used to be, superior to that of any other. Still it may be said of Spain, as of the Church, no man is necessary to her. The Spanish mind, however strange it may seem to the Times, is still cast in the old mould. Loyal to the Crown, personally attached to his Sovereign, devoted to his Church, because a sincere and unquestioning believer in revealed religion, the uncorrupted Spaniard is not to be guaged, or measured, or tested by the ideas o f other lands. His strong originality is still intact, and the temporary confusions, changes, and revolutions in the political sphere which have for so many years retarded the material prosperity of his country, have worked no change in him. The Church and the Crown» are the objects of his regard, and we may estimate the duration of power in the hands of any Minister by his relation to these two powers.

It is stated that the Government has determined that the questions affecting the Church shall be solved in the only proper manner— viz., by considering the Concordat with the Holy See in full force, by giving full effect to its provisions, and by making it the rule of conduct. As to the part played by England, or rather by Lord Palmerston, for it is little short of treason to one’s country to identify the two, we have another humiliating instanceof impertinence to record. The English charge d ’a ffa ires has handed in (not a protest as was reported), but a note, informing the Queen that the peace o f Europe will be compromised if the Queen Mother be allowed to return! It is truly wonderful. What will these good Whigs do next ?

— From America we have an incendiary speech by Governor Wise, of Virginia. According to this gentleman, who says “ that the man who, without “ sufficient cause, would light the flames o f civil war, “ is a dastard, a demon, guilty of the sin of Cain, the “ worst of murderers, and a fratricide,” thc election of Colonel Fremont as President of the United States, by the votes of a majority of his fellow-citizens, is a sufficient cause. He says it will be a proclamation of war, and asks, “ what will you do if this “ proclamation of war is made ? Do you ask me “ what 1 will do ? I say to you that I reserve rny “ answer for the present.” That is already an immense come down, but nothing compared to the bathos of the following sentence :—

“ Considering the question deliberately, calmly, “ and being well fortified in the thought, I delibe“ rately say to you that I will do •whatever you •will “ back me in to save us or die.”

Oh ! lame and impotent conclusion. — W e give elsewhere Mr. Thomas Gladstone’s account of American civilisation. As to the story in the Times of Wednesday about the duellings and murders in the railway trains in Georgia, the leading journal has shown such a boundless capacity for swallowing hoaxes and canards in the recent adventures of his correspondent “ Nuncio,” from Dublin, that we must at present decline to attach any faith to the statement.

— Apropos to the anti-slavery agitation, and to the philanthropic spirit of the north, so much relied on by Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowe, we find that a judgment of the Supreme Court at New York has just decided that “ coloured persons” cannot legally be excluded from public carriages plying for hire. Think of the tender consideration for the civil and political rights of the Negro implied by such a question having to be solemnly decided by a decision of the Supreme Court.

— A Catholic journal, Le B itn Public, of Ghent, publishes a letter written from England by a Catholic, “ who is really acquainted with English society.” The purport of the article is to explain that the English Catholics, while they recognise the merits ana charms of M. de Montalembert’s “ Essay on the Political future of England,” consider that M. de Montalembert’s judgment has been too favourable, and that he has left out of consideration much that would have qualified or changed his conclusions. It is quite true that many Catholics have so expressed themselves. This is not the place to review M. de Montalembert’s work, though our impression of it is, that it did not profess to give an account of the state of the lower classes of the population, but that, presupposing a sufficient knowledge of the actual state of things in his readers, he drew attention to the political future o f the country, as to which he augured favourably, for the reasons which he gave, after due deduction made for all reasons to the contrary, whether expressly stated or not. Be this as it may, the correspondent of the Bien Public is certainly not qualified to supply M. de Montalembert’s supposed omissions. No one who knows English society would say of the working classes that “ the “ greater part are men, whose Gospel is B e l t s L i fe in “ London." Every Englishman knows this to be a ludicrous blunder. That there are a class of beggars and thieves below the working classes, “ whose mode “ of existence is a perpetual enigma,” is true, though not much to the point. But to quote as “ a fact” that “ in England and Wales alone, out of a popula“ tion of sixteen or seventeen million inhamtants, “ nearly two millions of individuals are shut up in “ ‘ poorhouses,” ’ and “ that others receive help at “ home,” can only be considered as an astonishingly daring experiment on the credulity of the Bien Public. The total number of paupers receiving relief in poorhouses and at their own homes, is less than 900,000, of whom upwards of 100,000 are “ shut “ up in the poorhouses.” The accounts are published annually, and our friends in Belgium will, we hope, rejoice to find that our case, though bad, is not so desperate as Bien Public has been persuaded to believe.

— The Crimean Banquet is to come off upon the 22nd. The exertions of the committee seem to have met with complete success, and the arrangements to be made both with foresight and good taste. As the French ambassador at Moscow profited by the lesson learned at the ball of his English ally, the Irish committee seems to have determined to repair the shortcomings of the London banquet to the Guards. Each hero is to have a quart of stout, which is to be “ topped up” by a pint of “ fine old fruity port.” W e hope the heads of our warriors are as stout as their hearts, or the consequences to many may be dangerous. Moreover, the Lord Lieutenant and the members of the committee dine at the tables of the soldiery, and preside as hosts, supported by the more distinguished guests. This is as it should be. And we have only to add, with Lady Macbeth, “ May good “ digestion wait on appetite.”

— The news from Melbourne tells us of an attempt to raise a No-Popery cry against Charles Gavan Duffy, and of a preliminary meeting to consider the principles which should guide electors in their choice of representatives. A committee of twenty-four was appointed, and disagreed. The majority and minority both drew up reports, both made civil and religious liberty and equality the first article in their programme, but the majority omitted the declaration against state aid to religion. The anti-state-aid-to-reiigion agitation is a No-Popery movement. It has had some success, but as, by the Melbourne Argus, it appears that 88 per cent, of the population are in receipt of this aid, and only 8 per cent, refuse it, the movement for the present is not likely to succeed. The recusants are Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Quakers, and Independents.

T h e Paris correspondent o f the Times, writing on Wednesday, says:—

“ This day, in all probability, the note of the allies will have been communicated to the K in g of Naples. I f the K in g persists in refusing the concessions required, the whole o f the French Legation is to be withdrawn. It is, o f course, presumed that similar instructions have been sent to the British embassy. W ith respect to the fleets, it is expected that the French squadron will proceed to Malta to join the British, and that both will await the final answer o f the K in g . I f they are required they will proceed tonvards, but not to, the Italian coast.”

T h e Ost. Deutsche Post states that the ambassadors of the western powers have been recalled from Naples.

Curious Church Patronage Case.— T h is reference to the system o f Ecclesiastical patronage brings us by an easy stage to a recent curiously-illustrative case in the law courts. A testator bequeathed to seven children an advowson, which was to be sold after the death of the occupant (also a son), the proceeds being equally divided. T h a t contingency has now occurred, but the anti-simony laws forbid the sale o f the living while vacant. W hat is to be done under such circumstances ? Present to it, say three o f them, considerately, a Parson we have in the family— one o f the testator’s grandsons. N a y ! exclaim the others, with a keener eye to the main chance, present some aged Clergyman— the older the better— and then sell the advowson, taking care that the auctioneer discreetly dwells on the decrepitude o f the present occupant! T h e ViceChancellor, whose intervention is sought, rejects both alternatives, and says that the presentation must be by seniority. T h e Lord Chancellor overrules this, and decrees that the living may be sold, in accordance with the testator’s wishes; but that in order to make it saleable, the legatees must d r aw lots for the right o f presentation ! W hat an exquisite satire on the whole system o f Church patronage ! Observe how nicely careful is the law to guard the rights o f property, but how completely indifferent to the welfare o f those whose spiritual interests are affected by the question at issue. But has not Sydney Smith told us, and with complacency, that the Establishment is a “ lottery ?” ■— Liberator.

T he R ev. Mr. Gorham and his Parishioners. — On Friday, the magistrates of Exeter were engaged in hearing an information preferred by the Rev. G . C . Gorham, o f Bamford Speke, against Thomas Vesey, the landlord o f the Agricultural Inn, for keeping his house open at an unseasonable hour. T h e annual revel o f the village was held on the 25th ultimo, and a large room attached to defendant’s house was engaged for dancing and singing. A bout eleven o’ clock the Rev. M r. Gorham and the Rev. Mr. Holmes entered the house, and ordered it to be cleared by the constables, which was done, ju s t before the house closed Mr. W . Baker, a young farmer, who lives with his mother, arrived from Exeter, and not wishing to disturb his mother he ordered a bed at defendant’s, but hearing M r. Gorham was in the house he went out to avoid altercation, and returned after the Reverend gentleman was gone. T h e place being quiet defendant asked Mr. Baker to have a glass of grog, and had just served them when Mr. Gorham returned with constables, rebuked defendant, and ordered Mr. Baker to drink up his grog and go home. He said it was too hot, on which Mr. Gorham directed the constables to turn him out, which they were about to do, when a threat from Mr. Baker as to their illegal proceedings caused them to desist. T h e bench at once dismissed the summons, as was also the case in a secohd charge against Mr. Baker of throwing a turf at the Reverend gentleman, but which was. uPon as a counter charge to that expected from M r. Baker for the assault committed upon him.

Shipping C asualties on the Norfolk and Suffolk Coast.— Last week was again a disastrous one to the shipping on the eastern coast. T h e Sardinian ship Trenton, Vicini master, came in collision with a brigantine schooner in Hasborough gatway. T h e schooner immediately foundered, and all hands were lost, notwithstanding that strenuous exertions were made to save them. The name of the schooner is not known. T h e Electra, Turnbull master, o f W h itb y , was run into a few miles north of Great Yarmouth by a schooner, name unknown. T h e Electra sustained great damage, and went ashore at Palling crew saved. T h e schooner Charlotte, Hardy master, from Hartlepool, o f and for Weymouth, struck on the Newcomesand off Lowestoft. She struck so heavily that she soon began to fill, and the crew, who were compelled to abandon her, were landed at Lowestoft in a yawl. T h e Palmyra, Keslake master, ° f Tpignmouth, from Newcastle for Torquay, came in collision with a brig, name unknown, and a terrific crash took place, the stern o f the Palmyra being driven completely in. T h e brig took no notice, and left Captain Keslake and his crew to their fate. They were afterwards picked up by the Bell, o f Maldon, and landed at Lowestoft in an entirely destitute condition. They were forwarded to their homes by the honorary agents of the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society. Other minor accidents are also reported.
