All the Port Letters from the crest of Sci Aland to the Land's End, have been for several days past 6lled with accounts of the effect• expe• rienced by the late stortire and high winds. A number of vessels have tn-en wrecked, and the loss of mnchors and cables is very great. The d;►ily casualties at sea occasion such an assemblage of merchants, owner., &c. at Lloyd's, that it is difficult to obtain access to the books. Flom the great quantity of rain which has lately fallen, the low lands in the. neighbourhood of Tewkesbury are in a dismal state of in undation, ocensione‘i by the overflowing , of the Severn, the Avon, and the other streams which there unite. Persons on the opposite side of the river are obliged to navigate across the whole track of land called the Severn Ham, which in the very unfit boats generally used ter that purpose, is very dangerous in the present tempestuous weather. An accident happened there on Saturday afternoon. A boat, in which was Mr. Mann and his s,.n, of the Lower Lode ; Mr. Whitmore and Mr. Mew, of Tewkesbury, and several other persons, owing to the roughness of the weather, stink about midway between the Lode and the town. Mr. Maim was in imminent danger of being drowned when his son swans to hisassistasice, and they were both carried by the viii. lence of the waves to a considerable distance, but at length got to a shallow part, where they obtained a footing, and awaited the arrival of a boat, numbers having been sent tort to their rescue. The other passengers clung to the boat, and there anxiously awaited their preser vers ; and they were all brought to land. A young girl, who had thus escaped, was taken to a neighbouring house, a pitiable spectacle, quite overcome with terror and affright. At Brighton, it has blown a storm from the south-west for some days. Shipping on the coast has sustained considerable damage. Of a number of vessels that attempted to run from the Downs into Ramsgate, five got on shore, some of them much damaged. Several other vessels put into Margate with loss of anchors and cables. A very strong gale of wind from the west and south-west has pre vailed at Portsmouth nearly the whole of last week, in consequence of which some lives have been lost, and mach anxiety occasioned. The gale attained its utmost fury on Wednesday ; during the greater part of that day it was impracticable to proceed to Spkhead, the port, for even the launch of the Prince with upwards of SO seamen in it, •in making the attempt, was forced on South sea Beach, awl in land ing, the officers and men were completely drenched, as well as placed in considerable danger. In the evening, about seven o'clock, signals of distress were filed at Shithead, which created much alarm amongst the people on shore. It proved to be the Olympia cutter, which hav ing drifted her anchors, got ashore on the Spit. Her signals of dis tress were most promptly answered by all the shipping at Spi,head, wha twisted their lights, and 15 boats put off from different slips to go to her assistance, in doing which, we are sorry to say, a boat belonging to the Conflict. containing a Lieutenant and seven men, upset by run ning on the Olympia's cable, and two seamen were unfortunately drowned ; the others were saved with great difficulty. On shore, the heavy winds have also occasioned much damage. The limbs of large trees have been carrid away, and, in many instances, whole trees blown down. Near King's terrace, a solid brick wall was blown down on Welidesday night, and during the top of the tide the platforM every day of the week has been rendered impassable, by the sea beat big over in such large qttantities, and with great force. The storm colitinued on Saturday night, but Spithead being aegood ai.churage, no danger was appieliended. At Liverpool, the storm was tremendous ; the streets were deserted for fear of the flying bricks and slates, whilst the river presented a scei.e of confusion and distress nhich harrowed up the heart. CA RLIST.E. DFc. 17.-I)oring great part of the week we have ex perienced a very severs storm of wind. accompanied with heavy shoW ers. In the neighbourhood very consitietable damage has been sustsititd by the -bilming down of tree', &c. In consequence of the heavy the Ellen, Peteril, and Caldew, which water Coriolis., have been notch swollen, affording • highly pictoresque appearance, the imilida lion extending as far as the eye could reach, end giving the appear• rice of a vast lake, spotted with inhuttietable Winds.
