The gale continued on Tuesday with even greater severity than on Friday and Saturday last. At Grimsby the wind blew with the force of a hurricane. One vessel, the Havelock, of London, was sunk, and four schooners, a brig, five smacks, a barque, a billibuoy, and five other vessels, altogether seventeen vessels, were stranded. No lives were lost. The schooner Hannah, belonging to Dundee, was driven on the Gunfleet and soon broke up. Tho sloop Trusty was stranded at Runton, on the Norfolk coast, and several other vessels are reported lost, some with all on board. On the Welsh coast the schooner Gipsy King, bound from Liver pool to Glasgow, was totally wrecked on the Dulas rocks, and all the crew, with the exception of one man, drowned. The brig Mathiide, bound from Cede to Leith, stranded cn the rocks cast of Tantallen Castle, Haddintonshire, and is expected to Lea.: me a total wrtok. The Brenda (brig), belonging to Kirkwall, drove ashore near Perimahomack, and scan broke up ; and near Dunbar four of the crew Josephine, ,f Shields, bound from Quebec to Oremgcmouth, were drowned. The brig itself was driven ashore by the gale, and is a complete wreck. A smack belonging to Chester, and bound to Aberdovey from Dublin, was stranded near the former port, but the crew were saved. Two vessels are ashore at G:enarn, en the Iri.h coast. On the south coast the shipping sustained great damage, several ve:sels being reported lest on the Goodwin Sands vith all hands. The most serious wreck at present occurred at 11.11mgato. It appears that a large full-rigged ship, with painted ports, and about 1,000 tons burthen, was coming in from the back cf the Goodwin Sands, when she was driven ashore with great violence, on the face of the North Sands Head. Shortly after two o'clock the signal guns were heard firing from the Gull and North Sands Head Lightships, and the Bradford lifeboat was speedily manned, taken in tow of the steamtug Aid, and put to sea to render aid to the crew of the doomed ship. The Broadstairs lifeboat, belonging to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, was equally prompt, and without the aid of steam reached the scene of danger first. The ship, about ten miles cff, could be plainly discerned from the shore, the mighty waves crashing over her with terrific fury, sweeping the decks and breaking and bending the masts. Another account represents that the vessel drifted from her moorings off the North Forelanl, and that though two or three steamboats went to her assistance, and offered to supply her with anchors and chains, the ca:)- tain persistently refused all the preferred help, and when warned of the danger sail he would let the vessel take her chance. This, however, lacks confirmation. Neither ves sel nor lifeboats were scan any more until nearly ten o'clock on Tuesday evening, when the Broadstairs lifeboat arrived with the master and twelve of the vessel's crew. Eleven had perished. The .name of the ship was the Frank Shaw, of Newcastle. ... • The Alicia Hendrika foundered off Dover. She was bound from Liverpool to Harlingen. The Italian brig Alaban also foundered after being in collisionwith the brig Captain, bound from Sunderland to St. Male. At New haven, to the south of the Tyne, the gale caused the loss of three vessels, one of which was the Prussian brig Moritz Rechenheim. The captain and eight of his crow were drowned. On the Lincolnshire coast five vessels went ashore, but the crews were saved. The crew of twenty-six men of the steam-whaler Diana, of Hull, bound from Davis Straits, were saved by the Donna Nook life boat North Briton, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution. The vessel will, it is expected, go to pieces when the tide turns. _ _ . The crew of the John Tain, wrecked off Saltburn-on the-Sea, deserted her and took to the small boat, which capsized among the breakers. All of them were lost. The Vesper, at the South Caro Breakwater, ran aground and the master was drowned. Several bodies have been washed ashore. A terrific gale swept over Liverpool. A flat was observed to strike on one of the banks of the Crosby, and immediately sink. Nothing was seen of the crew. A large schooner struck on the Formby Spit, at about nine o'clock, and went down. Only one man was saved. The flat was the Elephant, of Preston. The Gipsy Queen is supposed to be the name of the schooner. At Shields a Prussian vessel went down; and out of the crew of ten hands only one was saved, being washed ashore on a spar. It is reported that the Britannia, which sailed from Newcastle for Leith, foundered on Tuesday morning in the hurricane. She had on board sixty-three passengers, with all her crew. The schooner Glenalbyn, of Inverness, and the brig Dependent have been wrecked near Withcrnsea. The Alice Richardson has been wrecked off Holmpton ; crew saved by the rocket apparatus. At Ilfracombe, on Tuesday afternoon, during the gale, a sloop, with her sails blown away, was seen in a very peri lous position about a mile and a half to the north-west of Capstone-hill. The lifeboat Broadwater, of the National Institution, was at once launched and went to the assistance of the vessel, which proved to be the Ann Elizabeth, of Barnstaple, laden with coals. She was brought safely into harbour, and en entering very nearly foundered. In the Themes several collisions occurred during the gale, and some of the vessels had to put back. Three men are reported drowned. The tide cn Tuesday afternoon rose above high-water mark, but no damage was done. Yesterday the weather was more settled, though very cold.

The arrangements for the two four-oared races between the representatives of the Thames and the Tyne have been in no way interfered with by any unexpectedobstacle, and the sth of next month will see the first match pulled off. The slight injury to his thumb experienced by Kelley, of the Thames crew, has almost disap peared, and he and his colleagues are appa rently in excellent health. A new boat, built by Messenger, is to be used by them for the first time on Saturday. The Northern men are quite ready for the strife, and indeed are not behindhand in expressing confi dence as to the result. They are expected in London the middle of next week. A VERY SINGULAR CASE. She has married a woman. Such is the position of a plaintiff before a law-court of Santiago, in Chili. The wife has sued for a divorce, founding her application on the simple fact that her husband is of the same sex as herself. This was enough to procure a divorce, but not enough to create an embarrassing law-case ; and yet the bench of Santiago is sorely puzzled over the :natter. It was easy to separate husband and wife; but how about the property? The one of the two ladies who undertook the part of husband had married the other for her money and for her prospects. She was in the habit of frequenting the baths of Celina for the purpose of selling fresh eggs and other such commodities to the world of fashion who seek health and repose in that watering-place. The police had watched the egg-seller, and noticed that he or she always wore a cloak, and that on no account was it ever put aside. Otherwise, the egg-seller's dress and gait were that of a man. On the other hand, the wife of this singular mato is of a simplicity and innocence so great that for some time after the marriage she had no suspicion as to the nullity of her hus band's pretensions. In the meantime Madame the hus band, in all the pride of manhood, employed herself busily in making purchases and contracts in her wife's name and with her wife's marriage portion. Now the question arises whether the wife should be responsible for the debts incurred by the husband while managing her affairs. There is another question also what punishment should be inflicted on the husband for contempt of law and for forgery committed in signing the marriage contract and other documents under an assumed sex ? The legal aspects of the case may bo left to the learned magistrates of Santiago. We are content to pay our tribute of respect to the sweet innocence of the wife who knew no better, and to recommend the ambition of the would-be husband to the serious contemplation of the more uncompromising assertors of women's rights.— Daily News. I'IIE LIVERPOOL POLICE AND BETTING( CL A few days since the Liverpool police very suddenly and unexpectedly made a descent upon a bcttiug club in the town, and captured the proprietor and se; cral of the 3eribersr. After two remands, the magistrates cn Wednes day terminated the case, so far as they are e)ncernc..l. Eight persons were brought up, ono being a person named France, who keeps a public-house in Rainford-gardens, s.nd connected with it is a large room uold by the members of the " Alliance Club," many clerks and young lads, who used the room for the purpose of betting upon horse races. There were in all upwards of two hundred subscribers to the club. It was proved that seven of thd defendants brought up on Wednesday were bookmakers and listkeepers, and constantly acted as such at the Alliance; while France was charged with knowingly per mitting the room to be used for betting purposes ; but here the case failed, and he was then charged with acting in the management of it. It was, however, proved that the defendants were almost daily in the habit of attending the room, where they had stands with betting lists upon them, and that the frequenters of the place were in the habit of betting with thcm. It was also shown that each of them paid £l2 a year for the use of his stand. The only evidence against Franco was that of an informer named Morris, who had acted as door-keeper at the room, but the Bench declined to convict upon his testimony, One of the defendants, named Simpson, 'vas ordered to pay a fine of £lOO, or to go to prison for six months; and four others, named Smith, Clarkson, Farrel, and Roach, were fined Z 5 each, with the option of going to prison for four months. The other defendants, whose names are Edward and Alfred Ford, were also punished as follows : the former by a fine of £5O, or three months' imprisonment ; the latter by a fine of £25 or two months' imprisonment. The magistrates also stated that if any other case of the same kind were brought before them, they would give the offenders absolute im prisonment without the option of paying a fine. The de fendants' advocates gave notice of appeal, and the accused were liberated on entering into substantial recognisances. The proceedings lasted several hours, and many legal gen tlemen were engaged in the case. Amongst the presents destined by the Sultan for the Empress Eugenie is said to be a splendid Turkish sabre, set with jewels, for the Prince Imperial. THE CATTLE DISEASE.—The foot and mouth disease is reported to prevail in farms at Great Harwood, Samlesbury, and Osbaldeston, though the disease is not of a serious nature. At the Haslingden Petty Sessions, a farmer, named James Horrocks has been fined £2 and costs for having some sheep suffering from scab without inform ing the police. They were among healthy sheep. Horrocks was fined £lO in 1866 for a similar offence regarding cattle. TIER MAJESTY AND THE SICK IN ORATHIE.—It is currently reported in Crathie, on what is believed to be good authority that her Majesty is to have a medical practitioner stationed in Crathie. No doubt her Majesty in the course of her visits among the people of tho dis trict has become aware of the great want that is felt in in cases of sudden illness, or this respect, more especially during the prevalence of a heavy snow storm—persons in want of a doctor having to send to Braemar, a distance of nine miles. Should a medical man be stationed in the place, as reported, it will be recognised by the inhabi tants in the district as a great boom—Dundee Advertiser. ESCAPE OF A FENIAN PRISONER FROM WESTERN At rrnALTA.—John Boyne O'Reilly, one of the Fenian prisoners transported to Western Australia, sends to the Irishmen the following narrative of his escape from that settlement :—On the 18th February I escaped, seized a boat, and went to sea, but had to return to land in the morning. I then lived in the "bush" for some time, and eventually put out to sea again, and before long was picked up by an American whaler. When the captain knew who and what I was ho installed me cabin passenger, and as he was on a six months' cruise for whales, I remained on beard for that time, and every day had a fresh instance of his kindness, and of the officers and all on board. I had some very close escapes from beinf; retaken, but the officers were determined. I should no ; and in one English island at which wo touched, the governor came on board, and demanded me to be given up, as he had instructions that I was on board. The chief mate answered him. by pointing to the " stars and stripes," which floated at the "half mast "—in sign of mourning—and said, " I know nothing of any convict' named O'Reilly, who esoapod from Now Holland; but I did know Mr. O'Reilly, who was a political prisoner there, and ho was on beard this ship, but you cannot see him—ho is dead ;" and the goysruos,WPAl forced 44 14 ccatout with that l aw making IN I 841115 1 39 Alagg § - 711 E HEAL7H OF LORD DERBY. The answer to inquiries at St. James's-square, at 1.30, was that, according to the latest telagram from Knowsley, the Earl of Derby remains in much the same condition as last night. (From the Liverpool Courier of to-day) The latest report from Knowsley Hall last night represents Lord Derby to be still alive, though sink ing visibly. Drs. Miller and Gorst, are, of course, still in attendance, but their illustrious patient is felt to be beyond the skill of medicine or any hope of recovery. The failure of the vital powers has been so very gradual since his lordship's illness assumed so fatal an aspect, that death may not ensue for a day or two yet ; though it is hourly expected, and may occur at any moment. The Countess of Derby, from her protracted watchings and the mental anxiety naturally incident to herpain ful position, is said to be seriously indisposed ; and in addition to her ladyship, Lord Stanley, Lady Constance, and Captain Stanley are hardly ever absent from the bedside of the dying earl. Inquiries as to his lordship's position cc. ntinue to be received at Knowsley from various quarters, showing the deep and geueral interest felt in the conditicn of the sufferer. Among others, telegrams were yesterday again sent to her Majesty and the Prince of Wales, informing them of Lord Derby's state." POLICE INTELLIGHNCE.—this Day. BCW-STREET. George Bonney was charged with keeping a dog with out having taken out a license. The officer said the defendant kept a coal-shed in the neighbourhood of Whitecross-street, and on his calling upon him respecting a dog that was seen in his place, he found he had no license for it. Bonny—Well, ye see yur honour, lan old neighbour o mine, died and left the dog behind him, and then my children took the poor thing and give him a bit of their victuals. I never kept the dog reeler. I too poor for that. The children liked the poor beast, and I did'nt think there was any harm in their giving him a • morsel o' bread to keep him from starving. . . Sir T. Henry—lt appears on one occasion the dog was taken by the police as a stray, and then you went to the station-house and not only claimed }dm as youro, but you paid sixpence for his keep. Defendant—Yes, that's true, your honour, but it was only to prevent the poor thing being killed. The dog has only been in the habit of running in and out my shed, and 1 dare say he's done the same at other places where he was known. Sir T. Henry—There is your own admission that the dog was yours. I have no power after that but to inflict a fine, which I put down at the lowest sum the law allows me, viz., 255. Defendant—Well, how it's to be paid I don't know. We hardly get enough to keep the children, let alone the dog Sir T. Henry—l have no alternative ; but you can peti tion the Board of Excise for a remission of the fine. A respectably-dressed woman, named Watson, appeared to answer a summons charging her with keeping up her name as a licensed dealer in tobacco after she had given up its sale in her general shop. An officer proved that the words " Dealer in tea, coffee, and tobacco" were over the door, but he didn't find any of the latter in the shop. Ho had reason to believe to bacco had been recently sold by the defendant. The defendant said she had not done so. The officer might give evidence against her, but he was not called upon to give an opinion. The reason the word remained over her shop door was through the belief that it did not mat ter after she had given up the sale of the article. Sir T. Henry said in this case he had no discretion but to What the mitigated fine of £25. She could, however, retition the Board. THAMES. CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.—Adelaide Freedman, the wife of a man who has been separated from her five years, and who has been pursuing his fortune in Peru, was brought up on remand charged with the wilful murder of her infant, aged one month, and afterwards attempting to commit suicide. The prisoner is very ill, and it was requested by the gaoler, Mr. Roche, that her commitment on remand ought to be made out immediately, and that she should be at once sent back to Clerkenwell prison, where she has been confined a week. It was stated by Police-sergeant Bride; chief of the detectives of the K division, that Dr. Letheby had not completed his analysis of the deceased child's stomach and viscera which had been forwarded to him. Thu inquest on the body of the child would not hi resumed for another week. She was then led out of the d .ek in a falut:ng condi tion, and placed before a good tiro in the gaoler's rooni until she revive,', and was then sent away in a cab to Cer:;en well Prison. It appears that the prisoner expected her husband to arrive in England in a few weelcz, and being fearful that he would discover her ialidelity, of whist shJ had le mn guilty in his atsouce, determined to ma':e a•,vay with the child by administering to it salts of lemon, and then in a fit of remorse took some i f the a tan ac id h erse lf, whit a view of destroying herself, and failed. She was reniov d to the London Hospital, where sLe remained under medi cal treatment until she was taken into custody by Bridal at the Hospital. Her purchase of the salts of lemon and her administratim of it to the infant has been fully proved. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL DISHONESTY BY A SERVANT.— —John Ashton, a young man, was placed at the bar charged with purloining various sums of money. Mr. Newman, solicitor, prosecn!ed, and stated that the prisoner was servant to Mr. John H. Fielder, proprietor of the Anchor Brewery Stores, King's-road, Chelsea. 'When Mr. Fielder purchased the business in last March, he found the prisoner, who had been in the employment of his predecessor, oily receiving 1.25. per week, which he increased to £1 ss. Notwithstanding this prisoner had been guilty of embezzling various sums ho had received. Mr. Newman theolwent into the details of cases he was in a condition to prove, but said he would only take thorn for the purposes of justice, and requested the magistrate, under powers recently given him, to deal with the case summarily, as the prisoner had admitted his guilt. Evidence having been given of prisoner's admission of having received the money spoken of, it was deemed necessary to abandon these cases in consequence of the absence 9f those who had paid the money, and a further case was goo into for a small amount paid by a Mr. Elliss, who was present. Prisoner said he he had the money. Prosecutor haaiog int6YCeded in his behalf, prisoner was committed for three mon:lks• MARLBOROUGH-STRZF , T. A FORTUNATE Esc/a:T.—George Thorpe, a , respectable looking man, was charged before Mr. Knox w.itb being drunk and furiously driving. Wm. Hobbs, of No. 4 Upper Rathbone-place, said that yesterday he saw the prisoner's trap coming by St. Giles's Church at a terrific pace, one wheel being off the ground. A number of children, who were crossing the road, escaped, but one little fellow was knocked down. He went after the trap, and, on its reaching Seven Dials, it was stopped. The prisoner got out of his trap and wanted to get in again, but WAS prevented ; but be also wanted to get into the trap and drive the boy to the hospital, but he was not allowed, and was taken to the station. In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said that the pri soner was drunk, and that the boy was not so much hurt as was sapposed. Police-constable Kennedy, 114 0, said he was told an accident had occurred in High-street, and the last witness said a boy had been knocked down. The boy complained of his leg and head. He took the prisoner into custody, and he had seen the boy's mother that morning, and she said that the boy was not much hurt, and that he had been compensated. The prisoner said his horse ran away, and that he was anxious to have taken the boy to the hospital, but that he was not allowed. Mr. Knox said it was a providential thing the boy was not killed, and fined the prisoner 40s. or a month. MARICE 7 S-2.1118 DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Oct, 21.—Sales probably 10,000 bales.

[AtivErrantErrd—Holloway's Ointment and Pills— Beware of Changes.—Few persons can with impunity withstand the many changes, from dry to wet, and from cold to sultry, which characterise our present summers. Sore throat, influenza, bronchitis, diarrhoea, and excessive debility are only a few of the complaints now prevailing, which may be set aside by rubbing liolloway i e Ointment twice a-day over the throat, chest, or abdomen, or as near to the seat of mischief as possible, and taking his Pills inwardly, not with the view of purging, but of purifying and regulating. This well-known and easy mode of treat ment will, shortly after its first employment, check all un favourable symptoms, secure coolness and comfort, and resoue the invalid from danger. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days sight was iOn per cent. on the '9th inst. At this rate ther would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the Uttited States.

The plan is to pass a great number of large iron tubes through furnaces, much after the manner of arranging the hot air blast for iron furnaces. These metal tubes will be connected with mains, constructed of a pecu liar cement or fire-clay, which will be made of the most perfect nonconductor attainable for such pur pose, and thus led through the main street of a city, and delivered by service pipes whenever required. It is proposed to lay the main pipes in a brick arch, lined with the same non-conducting material as that from which the pipes are to be constructed. It is claimed by the pro jector, that if the plan succeeds as well as it now promises, the cost of heating dwellings in cities can be greatly re duced, and if required can be furnished hot enough for cooking purposes. It is proposed that the air shall leave the furnaces at a temperature of 600 deg. Fah. Baking, which requires the highest temperature of any cooking operation, can be carded on in an atmosphere of from 250 deg. to 360 deg,
