A* bearing upon tho vexed: salvage ixnestion, the cue of th« ship tirueo. ius repfirtcd in the "Maritime Retfl«twr," is worthy of notice. Tho Bruce, a 1.3)0 ton ship,, bound from Calcutta to London,, and valued with carii'o,. at *£:!.".(>»». arrived off the jforth Foreland on November t!> tast. and then enipufwi th« stsivm-tnir Preiulnointhe o{ !W h.p.. to- tow fior to London, when thu weather moderated, as it was than blowing a heavy S.VV. irate. The ijale subse» (UwntlywHnt round to N.W.. and the titir. which had buun: stamlinif by the ship, ran to P.roiulstaics Jor shett«r. Ajfaia thu wind changed, ji'oinjr on to N.E.. and tho tnir lost her anchors, atui hud to steam to t>ovt-r----wlclt to irct others. Tho .sale held three days. ami. whilst tho tnjf was driving off the South Foreland, saw tho Srucu at tho back of the flooilwin. SivniU. with en»i(rn: ftyinuf half-must. She went to her, and ascertai neil that sho bad lost both anchors and chains, and wanted assiatiiucH. At this juncture, the City of London, a tlfi h.p. tujf, came up, and was also ensured to stand by tho ship. Presently they irot her in tow. ami ntuamed for the land., and, meantime, signalled for a hilfjrur. On« vamu otf from Kintrsdown, and was sent in ajfain. to fetch an anchor and chain for the P.rnce. To perform, tho duty,, she had to engage the services of two otnor the Renown and Albion, and be twuuA them they shipped: an anchor and W> fi»thoms of chain, but, whilst domir so, the Pweuown got broadside on th» beach, and received damage. Meantime, the tuffs hiut towed the ship, to off Folkstotie,. and thete anefiorsd ahead of her under the tee of Che tand, but stilt •xposud, for., having so heavy a ship hanging to them. thuy dnvggtid andfonle.d each other, both receiving damafftt.

Loudon. Tho owners of the P.rnce tendered .£B<;n as pay ment in full, but this sum was refused as insufficient. Th« uiuso came before Sir R. J. Phitlimore and two Trinity Masters in the Admiralty Court, and the decilion of tho Court was that the case was one of meritorious salvage,, as there was considerable peril to all concerned, and therefore St.oon. would be awarded, of whieh JiliTt) would go to the tugs, and the balance to. the luggers.
