"COMMERCE " NEWBERN, TUESDAY, Anotlicr Crace.Darlinr The recent courageous and even des perate act of CoL Brooks, Keeper of the Faulkner's Island Light j in rescuing the captain, his wife and crew, fronl a wreck, in Long Island Sound, deserves more than a passing notice. It will be re membered that Faulkner's Island'itself is more than two miles from land, and that its only inhabitants are the keeper of the Lighthouse and his family, C apt. Oliver N. Brooks. The wreck lay upon Goose Island, some two miles from this, but Capt. Brooks could see, with his glass, the persons in the rigging, and the sea lashed into unusual fury, making a breach high over its decks and threat ening" instant destruction. It was too sad a sight for the brave man to endure, and provided as he was by government with nothing but a small sailboat, to go between the Island and the mainland, he would have been fully justified in leaving them to a fate horrible to think of. His wife was" on shore, and he was alone with his family of little children, but telling them of the peril he was about to' assume a fearful peril, from which he might never return he kissed themj and calling upon God to protect them and bless his endeavor, he jumped into his frail skiff, and steered boldly into the storm and the billows. Those on board saw the attempt and even in their agony wondered at his boldness, predicted its failure and griev ed at what they considered an unneces sary sacrifice. But still the brave man, relying upon Providence, kept up his heart and hopes, and although every wave threatened him with destruction, he reached at last the wreck, and hailed the desponding crew with words of cheer. By the most skilful manage ment of his boat, now shooting pctst, and once over the very wreck itself, he at last managed fto .pick them off at one time, and then turned for the shore; But it was only by constant bailing and tre menduous efforts that the boat was kept above water, and at last reached the Island, with its inmates exhausted, and nearly dead wTith hunger and exposure. On the shore,w-aiting for their father, were the little children of Capt. Brooks, Who with, tears and screams ot joy, saw the boat tossed violently upon the land by the angry waves, witlits overtasked load of rescued mariners, who were immediately transferred to the lighthouse residence, and made welcome and com fortable. A gentleman familiar with the circum stances, arid also with the dangers of the sea, assures us that it was the most daring feat he ever read of; that the boat was entirely unfit for such a service, and that nothing but unrivalled coolness, great skill as a boatman, and the hand of Providence over all, made the effort successful. Capt. B. thought it at least an equal chance that he should be lost ; though, with a proper life or surf boat he -wouldn't have hesitated an instant about going to the wreck when he first discovered the danger j and might have saved the life of the little girl the cap tain's child of three years who fell from his exhausted arms into the sea, half an hour before Capt. B. reached the wreck. We have known Capt. Brooks for several years as one of the most faithful men in the lighthouse ser vice, and means will be taken to call the attention of the Government to his merits, and hope that he may be provid ed with a boaj suitable for the kind bf service' he is so frequently called upon to enter. There should be also, at' such an exposed point, aii assistant keeper, for had Mr. Brooks been lost in his efforts to- save the crew of this vessel; there would have been missing td the mariner in Long Island Sound; on that night, the ever-steady beacon light of Faulkner's Island; If ever hero deserv ed the public reward of bravery, that man -is Oliver N. Brooks, the solitary watcher mi a sea-girt Island. Crinoline'. S'till Lives. - A letter from the French , court circle at Com eiesaysi 7" : .

".. , IS KING." - JANUARY, 25, 1859. v (ueeu Victoria. That Alexandria Victoria should ever have ascended the English throne is, perhaps, the only remarkable event in hef life. George III left five sons, the elder, of course, the heir, the others1 in all likelihood forever debarred trom the succession; The heir, the Prince of Wales, reigned as Geofge IV and died childless, the second son, the Duke of York, died without reigning, and like wise childless; the third son, the Duke of Clarence, reigned as William I V, arid died childless ; the fourth son, Edward, Duke of Kent, died without reigning, but left One childf a daughter, and to her thus remote from the inheritance, descended the patrimony of the House ! of Hanover and Brunswick. i When Victoria1 was six years old, her mother appointed the Rev. George Davys her preceptor, and his fidelity and zeal proved the : wisdom of her choice. The Baroness Lehzen was asso ciated with him as. instructress. Up to her eleventh year, the princess was totally unaware of her claims upon the succession, or of any possible concate nation of events, by which her condition in life would be materially changed. In 1827, the Duke of York died, and in 1830, King George followed him. The accession of King William, whose two daughters were already dead, placed her next the throne. Her education was how such as would best fit her to wrear the crown; Without overtasking her mental and physical energies, her instructors plied' her with every species of knowledge by which a Queen might profit. They read together the numer ous treatises which had been written for the most part in the Continental languages upon the education of a princess. She was familiar with the lives and actions of all who had conferred honor on the human race, whether as sove reigns, statesmen, scholars, inventors, discoverers, benefactors, poets or divines. While yet in her teens, she spoke English, French and German ; with equal fluency, she read Italian and translated Virgil and Horace ; she was a proficient in mathematics, and showed decided talent in all branches connected with the sci ence of numbers. Accomplishments were not neglected. ; The princess danc ed, sang and sketched from nature. She laid aside a pdrtiOn of her pocket-money to aid in extinguishing the indebtedness of her father. A sound religions train ing lay at the base of the fabric thus reared, and Victoria Was made to realize that, as she was to reign over a nation professedly Christian, she must prdve, by her private conduct, and in her do mestic, her fight to the glorious title of Defender of the Faith. On the 17th day of July, Victoria made her first public appearance as sovereign of the nation! She prorogued Parliament in person, addressing the members of the tWo chambers from the throne in the , House of Lords. Her pallor betrayed her emotion, but her mariner was calm and composed, and her bearing at once; childlike and royal; Her voice was distinct though tremulous. It was a proud day for Great Britain the people unreservedly gave away their hearts, and became the prey at Once of love at first sight, and they have, never regretted the spontaneous, precipitate act.' 4 ' i . . " - Victoria I. was, crowned in West minister Aboey, on the 28th of Junei t838. The venerable pile was dressed, with unusual unprecedented splendori Every nation in Christendom, and seter al out of its pale, naa sent ineir repre sentatives, and the maiden Queen was " consecrated" to use the solemn con tinental expression iri the midst of tUe most imposing and gorgeous assemblage which this century has witnessed whether in Westminister Abbey, Notre Dame de Paris, or the Kremlin of Moscow,. Vic-j toria kneeled and devoutly implored the Divine guidance for herself and a bless ing for her people; From that time forward: she. has discharged with ex emplary fidelity every duty which devolv ed upon her as a Queen, and has sought to enlarge the sphere of her duties as a woman, that by discharging, those also she i might offer a model to the mothers, wives and-daughters of her subjects; ' I !

The acknowledged opinion has been that we want women, marriageable women : but this does not half fill the requisites in the subject: x urse are m every oaiuornia community more or less men, who, years ago, left families, hoping and expecting to return and remain, or bring their relatives here to live with them. Of this class, I should judge there were nearly a hun dred thousand ; out of this number, not more than ten thousand are free from despondency, want and dissipation ; fif teen thousand have become worthless both to themselves and the community; One-half the deaths that occur, except from casualty, are among this despond ing class; the largest proportion of suffering and sinking drunkards are among this class ; thegreater part of all complaints respecting social incon venience and pecuniary darkness, comes from this same dissatisfied and careless class, vVho have -Been so long away from their wives that wife and husband con- sider the intended temporary absence actual abandonment'. From such a sever ing of ties, any one can see as well as conjecture the consequences.' Phesident PiEftek's Administration. The Journal of Commerce, alluding to the rumors that have connected Gen. Pierce's name with the next Presidency, speaking in the following just and em phatic manner of his administration : ' Ex-President Pietfte enjoys in a large manner the respect and confidence of his countrymen; His Administrationwhich embraced a stormy period in our politi cal history; is fast being vindicated, and its wisdom proved; by the developements Of each succeeding year: and will occu py, upon the pages of history, & place second to none in our country's annals. We should be sorry, for his; own sake, and fori jthefdignity belonging to the Pre sidential officer, to see the retirement which His genial disposition and fine so cial qualities are so welFfitted to adorn, broken! by the disturbing elementsjof a political campaign. But, were peat, we do not believe any such design is enter tained by ex-President Pierce, whatever may have been the thoughts suggested among! his friends.' . Upon this the New York Bay Book remarks ; t The; above endorsement of General Pierce's i administration is eminently just and proper. - No President, since the days of (General Jackson, was so. bitter ly and persistently assailed as he, and yet every act of his administration has been endorsed by the people, and there is riot a f party that dare present ,a plat form in opposition to the principles he sustained. We do not Jbelieve there is a more popular man, at this moment, with tho . people of all sections, than Franklin Pieroo;' : j t ; ..
