AIONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Market s 44 ring the last few days have not exhibited much _activity . There has b een a f a i r inquiry for the better qualities of tea, and prices have been well sePported ; but sugars are in very limited demand, and at slightly reduced quotations. The inquiries for coffee were not very active, and but little variation wa s apparent in the value of both Plantat ion and Native Ceylon. There has been a rather active b usiness in the fresh arrivals of new curra nts and h ave rat es h ave been realised. Rice and spic es show n a n u pward movement in value , bu t t he demand for saltpetre and tallow has not been ve ry active. Speculative business in the latter however, is in some measure checked by the late failures in Russia. Accounts from Liverpool report that in the cotton Market yesterday business was rather dull, 11 2 d American descriptions were I per lb. lower. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. The Agincourt has been announced this morning from Port Philip, with £133,560 in specie. A call of £2 per share, or £22,000, is due to-day e a the New Brunswick and Canada Railway shares, Gold continues to flow into the Bank of England, 1 . 11 consequence of the diminished export demand I ° l * the continent. Yesterday about £lO,OOO was added to the metallic reserves of that establish nl ent, and it is expected that the principal part o f the recent supplies will follow as soon as they are delivered. Th. bar silver brought by the last West India ste amer has been sold at 6 1 1 d. per ounce , being t he Same price as that realised for the previous B nPply. The inquiry for money being quiet the rates c harged for accommodation continue without any &age of importance. The demand at the Bank of -ciagland is very moderate, but the authorities are Probably obtaining some employment for their re sources in making advances on stock until the trans f." books re-open. In the general market business 1 : still negotiated at rates a fraction under the 'auk minimum, but it is principally confined to Paper of a first-class character and having only a Short period to run. The St oc k • E xc h ang e markets to-day have pre sented a very quiet appearance, the transactions for 111 "e7 and account being too limited to create much activity. Consols for money and account hav e been ° Ol 2 and 951 d, The Government broker has bought 4,5,000 stock for the Savings Banks. The favour able Position of monetary affairs, and the influx of g el d into the Bank of England gave some sup port to values.

Walter Henry Combe, aged 29, a young man of respec table appearance, pleaded guilty to two charges of forging cheques with intent to defraud. _ _ Mr. Tindal Atkinson, who appeared for the prosecution, stated to the Court that the prisoner had been in the ser vice of Mr. Ellis, a soliciter, and that he left such service without giving any notice of his intention to do so. On in , gully it was then ascertained that the prisoner had abstracted four blank cheques from Mr. Ellis's cheque-book. Two of these cheques he afterwards filled up for the sums of £lB and £2l, and obtained the money at the banker's. A portion of the money, it turned out, had been expended by the prisoner in the purchase of jewellery, which he had given to a female. The prisoner put in a written paper, in which he appealed for mercy on account of his wife and family. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said unhappily the offence of which the prisoner had pleaded guilty was of such a serious nature, he felt he should not be doing his duty if ho did not pass a severe sentence, that was, that the pri soner be kept in penal servitude for three years. "O LICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY .) MANSION-HOUSE. James Matthews was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with stealing six bullocks' heads from a shop in Aldgate-street, on Saturday, the 10th inst., between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, the property of James Cash, butcher. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was re manded till Friday. John Hollis, a young man, was charged with stealing a watch, value £lO, from a young gentleman's pocket, on the Custom-house Quay, and throwing it into the river on Thursday afternoon between three and four o'clock. He was committed for trial. A young boy, who was charged with pilfering 11b. of lump sugar, lozenges, and orange peel fron a confectioner's shop in Bishopsgate- street Without, the property of his em ployer, was found guilty, and sentenced to seven days' im prisonment with hard labour. A young man, who was charged with continually annoying and threatening to injure his mother, was found guilty, and sentenced to seven days' imprisonment, and to be kept on bread and water. _ ... .. James Alexander Noble was charged with stealing a large quantity of books and paper, value about £2O, the property of his employers, Rock and Co., Walbrook. The prisoner was remanded till Saturday, bail being refused. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAD AND FATAL OCCURRENCE TO A CHlLD.—Ran dyll Letch, a drayman, in the employ of Messrs. Combe and Delafield the brewers, was placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon charged with causing the death of a little boy eight years of age, named Henry Gay, of .16, Dudley street, St. Giles's, by passing over him with a dray. M'Mahon, 165 C, said—Yesterday evening about seven I was told a little boy was knocked down by a brewer's dray in Dudley-street, and on proceeding to the spot, I found a crowd of persons assembled round a brewer's dray and a little boy lying in the road, with his head divided in two, and the brains scattered about. The accused was in charge of the dray at the time. I asked him how it hap pened and he said he did not know, but that he was very sorry for it. _ _ David Wilkie, a cellarman, of 42, King-street, Soho, said—l was passing along Dudley-street yesterday evening when I saw some boys playing anc running after one an other. I saw one of them push the little boy, who fell, and the wheel of the dray went over Lin). I had called to the accused to stop, and he could net to so in time to prevent the wheel from passing over the boy. The accused was at his horse's head, and I consider thi occurrence quite acci dental. The dray was going at a steady pace at the time. The mother of the child—a poor woman, in deep distress —=said the child was eight years of age. Mr. Beadon said he should order him to enter in his re cognisance to appear in a week ; but if the verdict of the jury was accidental death, which it seemed to be, be need not appear again. THAMES. SCANDALOUS OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY.—John Holmes, John Coshan, John Davis, and Cornelius Driscoll, four rough, boisterous fellows, wore brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting and robbing a man-of-war's man, named William McMillan, belonging to her Majesty's ship Topaze, lying off Plymouth. The prosecutor, who was in a sad plight, with marks of violence on his face and throat, and half stupified with drink, said ho had lately come up from Plymouth on a cruise. Ho then began muttering something, and Mr. Selfe asked if had got a quid of tobacco in his mouth, and he answered in the affirmative. Mr. Selfe directed him to spit it out of his mouth, and he did so, and then, in a few broken sentences, made known that he was not sober yesterday, and that all four of the prisoners were in his company drin'ing, and that they got him into a corner, seized him by tte throat, and nearly choked him. Ho lost a canvas bag containing £3 or £4 in gold, a silk neckerchief and a pocket handkerchief. He could not say which of the prisoners took his money or which seized him by the throat. Mr. Kelly, the landlord of the Sugar Loaf public-house in Bett's-street, St. George-in-the-East, said that the pri soners and the prosecutor were in his house last night, and went out with him. The prosecutor bad his neckerchief on when he left the Sugar Loaf. James Chapman, a police-constable, No. 80 H, said that last, or rather this morning at one O'clock, he heard the prisoners having an argument about their "regulars." Mr. Selfe—What do you mean by regulars ? Witness—A fair division of the spoil. I listened to them for some time, and I then went up to them, and said to Holmes, " What is all this:about ?" Holmes said, "We can't agree." Directly afterwards I saw the sailor, who was quite exhausted, and said he had been robbed, and that the thieves took hold of his throat. With the assist ance of another police-constable I took the prisoners into custody. On the way to the station-house Holmes dropped a sovereign, and two handkerchiefs belonging to the sailor were found upon him at the station-house• Mr. Selfe convicted Holmes, and sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and said there was no evidence that the other prisoners had been engaged in the robbery, although they had been drinking with the sailor, and they must.be discharged.

WHITECHAPEL. — Meadow hay, £2 lOs to £4 Os; clove) £4 5s to £5 5s ; and straw, £1 4s to £ 1 8 s per load Trade dull. COLONIAL. TEA.--A rather active business has been done in the finer qualities, and late prices are fully maintained. SUGAR.—The transactions have been unimportant in most descriptions ; in several instances, however, a slight decline has taken place. In the Refined Market dried goods have been inactive, and lower rates accepted by holders in order to effect sales. COFFEE —The market continues very quiet, no change whatever having taken place. The stocks on hand, com pared with those of the same period of last year, shewed a deficiency of about 1,000 tons. RlCE.—There has been a fair inquiry for the better qua lities of Bengal, and prices have shown an upward ten dency. FRUlT.—Currants continue in good demand, at former quotations. SALTPETRE.—There have been no dealings of import ance. Prices, however, continue steady for all qualities. TALLow.—A. very moderate business has been transacted. Prices have in some cases shown less firmness. P.Y.C. is now quoted 57s to 575 3d per cwt. on the spot, and 574 3d to 57s 6d per cwt. for last three months. A SEA SERPENT.—The sea snake, caught by Captain Taylor, master of the ship British Banner, coiled up on the surface of the sea, in lat. 1 deg. N min. south, and 87 deg. 10 min. east longitude, has been forwarded to Professor M'Coy for the Melbourne Museum. It is an ex ceedingly fine specimen of pclanzis bicolor, a venomous and truly pelagic serpent, remarkably distinguished from land snakes by the lateral compression of the posterior part of the body, enabling it to swim like an eel; and as the broad ventral scales used for creeping by terrestrial snakes would be useless,. they are replaced by minute ones like those of the back or sloes. The reason why they are caught easily when found on the surface of the sea is, that instead of breathing by gills like fishes, they breathe like the land snakes, by large, very long lungs, which becoming distended with air when the animal comes to the surface to bask in the sun, cannot be quickly emptied to enable it to sink, or escape when surprised. The specimen has been placed in the case devoted to reptiles of " Asia and the Indian Archipelage." —Australian Mail. A SMALL VESSEL FOR A LONG VOYAGE.--Tue successful voyage recently to Bahia of the screw steamer Little Lucy, of about 30 tons, in spite of a strong opinion that she was somewhat too small a craft for a voyage across the Atlantic, has determined the directors of the Bahia and San Francisco Railway to despatch another steamer of even smaller proportions. In compliance with this resolution, Mr. John Watson, of Parliament-street, London, the con tractor for the above railway, has selected a small vessel from the shipyards on the Clyde, which is pronounced by many experienced and practical men who have visited her to be a beautiful yacht model. The navigation of this vessel has been intrusted to Captain Breckon, under whose able direction, after a remarkably rapid passage, the Little Luey was handed over in safety to the company in Bahia. As in the case of her contrast, the Great Eastern, many were the prognostications of failure in that of the Little Lucy; hap pily, however, an able crew, under a skilful and energetic captain, have proved what cool heads and steady hadns are ' able to accomplish in a small but well-built craft even in the face of decidedly adverse weather, and we trust that in the navigation of the present vessel, the Helen Conran, these gloomy prophets, if any still exist, will be once more disap pointed. As it is a favourable season for the voyage, we hope, in due time, to hear of the safe arrival of this second little vessel. In the meantime we will conclude by wishing the Helen Conran " God speed." The Helen Conran is an iron vessel, of only 18 tons, and was built by Archibald Denny, at Dumbarton, and sailed from Greenock on Wed nesday for her destination.--Glasgow Daily Mail. TATTERSALLS'-YESTERDAY. The room presented an unusually quiet aspect for a " settling day," and subscribers dropped in rather slowly. Still there was a total absence of complaint, and the general opinion appears to be that the St. Leger settling will be comparatively harmless. " The gentlemen" are mostly losers by the defeat of Pro mised Land and Summerside, whilst on the other hand, the majority of book-makers gain very little by the overthrow of the favourite. Very many of them did not escape laying against the winner, and although he was not backed for any great amount, still he was always at a long price in the betting. Towards the close of the afternoon speculation was re sumed on the Newmarket events and the Derby. For the Cesarewitch Stakes, Royal Sovereign, who had been backed in the City during the morning at 100 to 6, advanced to 15 to 1, whilst Polestar, who shone forth last week at Don caster as first favourite, receded to 20 to 1. There was very little betting on the Cambridgeshire, but Volta was in some demand. Many inquiries were made respecting Umpire for the Derby, and some conversation took place as to his qualifica tion for this race, as a rumour has been lately afloat that he was entered without being properly described. In order to set the matter at rest, we deem it expedient to extract the following official announcement from the Racing Calen dar : " Doubts having been expressed as to the qualification of Umpire for the Derby, in 1860, in consequence of his being entered for that race by his name only, we beg to state that such nomination is quite sufficient, the horse having been entered at the same time for the Newmarket Biennial Stakes, 1860-61, with a full pedigree.—See Rule 13, con cerning horse-racing in general." Rule 13, hereby referred to, is as under : " If a horse has once been entered with his name and padigree in a race published in the Racing Calendar, it will be sufficient afterwards to mention him by his name only, even though he has never started ; and in entering a horse for the first time by his name in several races clos ing at the same time, it will be sufficient to give his pedi gree in one of those nominations, and his name only in the others." The highest offer against Umpire was 7 to 1, but a point more was wanted ; 10 to 1 was taken about Buccaneer, and Thormanby was supported at 100 to 6 and 16 to 1. At the price indicated below, High Treason was backed for £2OO. CLOSING PRICES.

On Friday, the 9th instant, the Prince went deer stalking in the forest of Ballochbuie, and killed three excellent stags. On Saturday, the 10th, the Prince, accompanied by Sir George and General Grey, went deer stalking in the woods of Aber geldie, when the Prince brought down an excellent stag, and General Grey another. The Queen, ac companied by the Princess Alice, Lady Churchill, &c., had a carriage drive through part of the woods of Abergeldie in the afternoon. His Royal High ness the Prince of Wales arrived at the Castle in the evening. On Sunday the Queen, the Prince Consort, Prince of Wales, and Princess Alice, ac companied by the other members of the Court, attended public worship in the parish church (which is now so far advanced in repairs as to ad mit of the service being conducted in future inside). The Rev. Dr. Cook, St. Andrew's preached a very earnest and religious sermon from Ist Corinthians iv., sth and 6th verses. The church was very well filled. On Mondry, it being very fine, the Queen, the Prince Consort, Princess Alice, &c., went out through the road to Crathinaird village, and viewed the scenery around, the Queen using her sketching pencil at different times. The Prince of Wales went grouse shooting on the Gairnsheil moors, and made good bags. Sir C. B. Phipps went partridge shoot ing, and had excellent sport. In the evening there was a grand ball given at the Castles to the game keepers and gillies, when amongst those present were Lord and Lady John Russell and family, Sir C. B. Phipps, Lady Phipps, and family. On Tues day, the Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and General Grey, went steer stalking in the woods of Abergeldie, but met with nothing. The Count of Flanders arrived at the Castle in the evening. On 'Wednesday the Queen, Princess Alice, and Lord Fitzroy, accompanied the Prince Consort on his way to Aberdeen, to Ballater. Here, after parting, they drove to Morven Hill, where the Queen viewed the surrounding scenery with great attention. This is only the second time the Queen has been on Morven Hill. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales went deer stalking and brought down a good stag. The Count of Flanders went grouse shooting on the Gairnsheil moors and had good sport. Sir C. B. Phipps and son went par tridge shooting on the Micras farms, and had good bags. On Thursday the Queen and Princess Alice, and Lady Churchill, went to the top of Lochnagar. The Prince of Wales and Count of Flanders went deer stalking in the forest, but met with little. Sir C. B. Phipps and son went partridge shooting on the Abergeldie estate.—Aberdeen Herald. THE " LADLE" IN THE PARISH CHURCH OF CRA.THIE.—The northern journals relate the following in cident, which is said to have occurred in the church of Crathie on Sunday last, at the conclusion of the service : " On the announcement from the pulpit of a collection then to be made by the assembled congregation in behalf of the Jewish Missions, the elders proceeded in the usual manner to uplift the contributions for that object, armed with the ladles or wooden boxes, to which are attached handles of seven or eight feet long. These being diligently pushed along in front of the occupants of each pew, were soon filled and carried off, leaving one collector in the section of the gallery in which was situated the royal pew occupied by her Majesty and suite. The ladle was in due course passed along the royal pew, and the official striving to reach its farther end and leaning on the door, the sneck suddenly yielding to his weight gave way, and capsized him head foremost among the royal party, couping the boxful of bawbees into the laps of some of the ladies in attendance. The mishap was observed and heard by the ilaajority of the congregation, who had difficulty in r estraining . their met: • riment at the circumstance, and the confusionot face mani fested by the luckless office-bearer, the fe elin g being evi dently participated in by the august lady herself, who witnessed the occurrence." FREEDOM OF ABERDEEN TO LORD J. RUSSELL. — The town council of AberdPen nave unanimously agreed to confer the freedom of their city upon Lord John Russell. The day for the ceremony will depend upon lii lordtihip‘o convenience. TIIE SCHOOLING OF'THE GREAT EASTERN. The martyrs to progress in the Great Eastern— martyrs by fire and water—will not have given up their lives wholly uselessly it we know how to rea son rightly. The Great Eastern has not been burnt, as would assuredly have been the case with a wooden craft, and the boiler fire that threw out flames like a volcano was extinguished by the effi cient water supply. The tiller ropes that broke were easily replaced by the chains provided by the sagacity of Capt. Harrison. How far these chains may be trustworthy we do not know ; but the risks in chains are considerable. Every link is composed of a separate piece of bar, which is usually welded by a scarf-joint heated in a coal fire, and therefore there is great risk of an imperfect weld. This might be remedied. We join lead pipes now-a-days not by solder but by melting them together by gaseous flame. We could do the same thing by iron rods, making most probably a sound butt-joint instead of an imperfect scarf-joint. This is one of the things worth verifying. For the sake of security, the smoke funnels of the vessel were surrounded by water-casings, thus to keep cool surfaces. But the surplus heat practically converted these cas ings or jackets into boilers. These boilers were not provided with sure safety valves to relieve the pressure, and one of them burst and carried away the funnel, the effects of the explosion penetrating into the passengers' saloons and gutting them, for tunately the passengers being absent. Now, the water-casings were right enough, if we remember only that they were a kind of prolongation of the boiler, and should be treated accordingly. Butoutside the casings there should have been an explosion-proof iron chamber entirely cutting off the steam from the other portions of the vessel. Before the vessel goes to sea again this should be done. It is quite possible to make the passengers absolutely safe in such a vessel if rightly constructed, and if the directors look to profit they must make this clear possibility an absolute fact. The passengers should be enabled to turn in to their berths quite certain that they can neither be burnt, nor scalded, nor drowned, nor suffocated. Nothing short of this will or ought to satisfy those who may take passage in the vessel. The sides of every boiler-room snould form a solid wrought-iron shaft, open or lightly covered at top to a suffi cient height to vomit forth the results of any explosion above Vie heads of those on deck. And exposed as the engineers and stokers must be to boiler casualties, still they should be provided with a wholesome atmosphere to work in by the abun dant play of cool air around them. This can be done, and -should be insisted on. Let all frippery be dispensed with ; passengers will be content with plain white paint in their berths if they knew that . those who serve them amidst the machinery are in a state of as great comfort and as little risk as may be. The neglect of these things has filled the mouths of fools with matter for exultation, and progress is retarded for a while. But it would be better to put off the sailing of the vessel for any number of months, rather than put to sea with anything left undone that may be done in the way of the most perfect comfort and security.. This catastrophe should be regarded as a warning, a source of knowledge bow to avoid future catas trophes; as a cause of additional safety to all those who may travel by this vessel, and not as an omen of misfortune. Not by having regard to • omens was England made what she is ; but by regarding every misfortune as a teaching of some thing more to be avoided in the future. And the essence of safety against explosions in steam-ships is to remove every obstacle to the upward force of the explosion, and to provide solid iron walls to retain it laterally and downwards. Let this be done, and the Great Eastern will still be the first in the latest phase of ocean transport. If it be not done, she will be d, standing menace to passengers that no amount of decoration can overlay.—Once a Week. 991 100 DARING INSOLVENT. An insolvent, Donald Macdonald, who applied for his discharge, was examined on Saturday at the Insolvent Court of Manchester, before Mr. Robert Brandt. His proceedings before he became insol vent were of a peculiarly daring kind. He had lately been the landlord of the hotel at No. 71, Market-street. On behalf of the detaining creditor it was eliciteed from him on examination that he formerly carried on business as an hotel keeper, in Liverpool,where his debts amounted to £1,200, £B5O of which sum he paid in full, the remaining credi tors accepting a composition. Previously, he h!tl been the manager of an hotel in Edinburgh. He came to Manchester from Liverpool without any capital, and commenced business in No vember, 1858. He remained in business at 71, Market-street, about five months, and contracted debts to the amount of £1,729. He owed about £lOO or more when he left Liverpool. Mr. Samuel Phillips, a creditor, said the insolvent referred him to Mr. Daly, who told him there was no occasion to be fearful. The insolvent told him his wife had an income of "so much per annum,' and that he expected remittances from his brother sufficient to pay all accounts. Mr. Joseph Wriey, another creditor, said the insolvent induced them to give him time to pay, by saying that he owed no one else anything. In conversation the insolvent told him he had some Atlantic Telegraph shares, and that they were worth so muchmoney that he had not slept for two or three nights for thinking whether he should sell them or not. (Laughter.) At another time the insolvent, on seeing the collector for the Examiner and Times pass, said he had paid him scores of pounds, but on inquiry he found that he had only paid the Examiner and Times £4, and that they had had such difficulty in getting the money that they had stopped his adver tisements. The judge (after hearing the attorneys on both sides) said he thought the creditors had not been quite cautious enough in trusting the in solvent. The effrontery of the insolvent in con tracting debts to the amount of £1,700, without a farthing of capital, was surprising. He should order the prisoner to remain in custody for five months more. CORPORALPUNISIIMENT—Lasteveningt crowded meeting of the inhabitants of Woolwich, Plumstead, and Charlton was held at the Town-hall, Woolwich, to con sider (in the words of the handbill) what steps should be taken to promote the abolition of the inhuman and ua- English system of flogging now practised in the army and navy of this country. The chair was occupied by the Rev. J. Carlisle, LL.D. (Congregational). Letters were read from Mr. Salomons an Mr. Angerstein, the members for Greenwich, the former denouncing corporal punish ment, and the latter deeming it necessary ; from Mr. Bright, M.P., and from Mr. Bristow, M.P. the last gen tleman declaring his intention to the Secretary for War of bringing the whole matter before Parliament. Resolu tions denouncing the system of flogging in tho army and navy as degrading , immoral, and unworthy of this age of progress and humanity were agreed to, and the thanks of the meeting were voted to the editors of the London daily papers for the public spirit they had evinced by their late strictures on the flogging case at Woolwich. It was finally resolved that a petition to Parliament in favour of the object of the meeting should be forwarded to Mr. Salomons, M.P., for presentation. A vote of thanks to the chairman termi nated the proceedings. HEAD MASTERSHIP OF HARROW SCHOOL.—The following circular has been addressed by Dr. Vaughan to the parents of boys now at Harrow :—" Dear sir,—The end of this term will bring with it the completion of the fifteenth year of my head mastership. 1 have resolved, after much deliberation, to take that opportunity of relieving myself from the long pressure of those heavy duties and anxious responsibility which are inseparable from such an office, even under the most favourable circumstances. With how much reluctance I form and announce such a resolution it is needless for me to say. I have no doubt the governors of the school will elect as my successor in this important charge some one in whose administration, aided by the able exertions of my present able coadjutors, you will have reason to feel entire confidence. I earnestly hope that you will find yourself able to allow the education of your son to be completed where it has been begun. I shall ever re tain a grateful remembrance of the confidence which you have reposed in mo, and a lively interest in the continued welfare and prosperity of this beloved and honou red school. —I remain, dear sir, your faithful servant, C. J. VAUGHAN, , —Harrow, September 16." FINANCIAL REFORMERS AND THE CUSTOMS. — Mr. John Bright, M.P. had a lengthened interview on Saturday last with the Council of the Liverpool Re form Association, respecting the agitation which that body are about to commence for the abolition of the Customs' duties on 439 articles producing a revenue of only three quarters of a million. It is argued by these gentlemen thi.t the duties producing so small a portion of the revenue are not worth the trouble and cost of collection, while they tend to impede the operations of commerce. It is intended to make special efforts for the total repeal of the duties on tea, coffee, and sugar, which, the association contend ; are abso lute necessaries for the poor, and that their total abolition is only second in importance to the question of the corn laws. The cheaper those three articles are obtainable, the greater, it is also argued, will be the sobriety of the nation. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer cannot do without the revenue produced by those duties, it is suggested that a tax on pro perty would meet the difficulty, so that the rich may contri bute instead of the poor. This policy, according to the views of the Council, would give encouragement to industry and com merce by removing the impediments which now hindr their development. GALE ON THD DURHAM COAST. -011 Friday a heavy gale from the east• north-east swept along the Dur ham coast, and raised the sea to a great height. About four o'clock in the afternoon, when the gal e was at its worst, a pilot boat was seen nearing the sea outlet of Sunderland Docks. There was only one man on board, and he was ob served to bo struggling in order to keep the boat's head to the outlet, but all his exertions were in vain, and as no llnsetamas sistance could reach hin t f rom the shore the boat WAS soon dashed en the beach 9 t onee to the south of the outlet.
