Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. _ r , With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care fully investigated by the Committee, anu with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify the n for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents ate breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and Misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 100, and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her ramily paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not h 1p her to put one of them into a Home. but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to " MR away," none of us should be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe tit' m ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statis , ics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, these are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to resene the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to echo work—reading, and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in lite, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white r aper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 ye - ars of age at th 3 time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by tl e Committee, Elections of children to be actuated free will take place as frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full; they will then be held periodi- Forms oflpplication for the admission of ehndren:rany be and at the S ome, and of the lloneran/ fieoretary, ' c. 17 ~,...

The State of Virginia being so ac cessible to Washington city, and information from this quarter, therefore, being readily obtained, I hastened through the State without conversing with or meeting any of its citizens. In Raleigh, N.C., I spent one day; in Charleston, s.a, tivo ; and in Savannah and Augusta, Ga., each one day. Both in travelling and while stopping I saw mu l ch and conversed freely with citizens of the States, as well as with officers of the army who have been stationed among them. The following are the conclusions come to by me " I am satisfied that the mass of thinking mon of the South accept the situation of affairs in good faith. Th e questions which have hitherto divided the sentiments of the people of the two sections—slavery and State rights, Or the right of a State to secede from the Union—they regard as having been settled for ever by the highest tribunal—of • arms—that man can resort to. I was pleased to learn from the leading men whom I met that they not only accepted the decision arrived at as final, but now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, and time has been given for re flection; that this decision has been a fortunate one for the whole country, they receiving the like benefit from it with those who opposed them in the field and in the council. Four years of war, during which the law was executed only at the point of the bayonet throughout the States in rebel lion, have left the people, possibly, in that condition not to yield that ready obedience to civil authority the Ameri can people have generally been in the habit of yielding. This would render the presence of small garrisons through out these States necessary until such time as labour re turns to its proper channel and civil authority is fully established. I did not meet any one, either those holding places under the Government or citizens of Southern States, who thought it practicable to withdraw the military from the South at present. The white and black mutually require the protection of the general Government. Thera is such universal acquiescence in the authority of the ge neral Government throughout the portions of the country visited by me, that the mere presence of a military force, without regard to numbers, is sufficient to maintain order. " Tho good of the country requires that a force be kept in the interior where there aro many freedmen. Else where in the Southern States than at forts on the sea-coast PRICE 4d. STAMPED 5d., son to the floor pending the action of the committee was ruled out, under objection of. Thad. Stevens, of Pa. There were also referred to the Committee on Reconstruction various resolutions, providing that no lately insurgent State shall be entitled to Congressional representation until it. shall have repudiated the rebel war debt end all claims of indemnity for slaves emancipated, ratified the anti-slavery amendment, passed proper laws for the pro tection of freedmen, and complied with the other require ments of President Johnson. Mr. Grinnell, of lowa, introduced a bill, which was re ferred, providing that no civil or military officers in Utah territory shall receive commission or compensation until he has filed a personal disavowal of the doctrine and prac tice of polygamy. On the motion of Mr. Loan, a resolation was adopted in structing the Committee on Freedmen to inquire into the expediency of immediate legislation securing freedmen and coloured citizens, of the lately rebellious States civil and political rights. , Mr. Moulton (Rep. of Ill.) offered a resolution requesting the President to communicate the reasons why Jefferson Davis has not been tried as a State criminal for treason. Under emphatic objection by Mr. Rogers (Dem., of N. Jersey) to its introduction, the resolution went over. On motion of Mr. Orth, of Indiana, a resolution was adopted requesting the President to communicate the par ticulars of any application that had been made for recogni tion of "the so-called Empire of Mexico." A bill appropriating $25,000 for the relief of Mrs. Lincoln was adopted. Mr. Ward, of New York, introduced a resolution declar ing polygamy in Utah should be abolished at once. No action was taken thereon. Thadeus Stevens, of Penn., delivered a long speech on reconstruction. He argued that by rebellion the Southern States had entirely forfeited their former rights, and must now bo readmitted as new States, after undergoing a terri torial condition. He ridiculed the present State Legisla tures of the South, and their ratification of the anti-slavery amendment as illegal and delusive. "The future condition of the conquered," he said, "depends on the will of the conqueror. They must come in as new States or remain as conquered provinces. He contended that for all legal purposes the Southern States had been out of the Union, the Confederacy having been recognised as an independent belligerent. If these States were permitted now to resume their former position, they could with the democracy of the North control by actual representation the affairs of the country. The assumption of the rebel or the repudiation of the national debt would follow. If, however, the right of suffrage were granted to negroes the Republican ascend ancy might be maintained,as the representation of the South would be thereby reduced some 40 per cent. He pronounced President Johnson's theories utterly impracticable. The whole tenor of Mr. Stevens's speech amounted to an asser tion that the Radical programme must be carried out and negro suffrage secured, or the Republican party would be destroyed. His frequent bitter allusions to the democracy implied that the political salvation of the country was en tirely dependent upon the Radical branch of the Republican party. He denounced the theory that this is a " white man's Government," and closed his speech with the follow ing violent ebullition : " Southern men proclaim this a white man's Govern ment, the whole coil of Copperheads re-echo the sentiment, and upstart Republicans join the cry. Is it any wonder then that ignorant foreigners and illiterate nations are led no force is necessary. The soldiers should all be white troops. The reasons for this are obvious. Without men tioning many of them, the presence of black troops, lately slaves, demoralises labour, both by their advice and fur nishing in their camps a resort for the freedmen for long distances around. White troops generally excite no opposition, and therefore a smaller number of them can maintain order in a given district. Coloured troops must be kept in bodies sufficient to defend themselves. It is not the thinking men who would do violence towards any class of troops sent among them by the general Government, but the ignorant in some places might; and the late slave, too, who might be imbued with the idea that the property of his late master should by right belong to him, at least should have no protection frem the coloured soldier. There is no danger of a collision being brought on by such cause. "My observations led me to the conclusion that the citizens of the Southern States aro anxious to return to self government within the Union as soon as possible ; that whilst reconstructing they want and and require protection from the Government ; that they think is required of the Government, and is not humiliating to them as citizens ; and that if such a course were pointed out they would pursue it in good faith. It is to be regretted there cannot be a greater commingling at this time between the citizens of the two sections, and particularly of those entrusted with the law-making power. " I did not give the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau that attention I would have done if more time had been at my disposal. Conversation, however, on the subject with officers connected with the bureau lead me to think that in some of the States its affairs have not been conducted with good judgment or economy, and that the belief widely spread among the freedmen of the Southern States that the lands of their former owners will, at least in part, be divided among them has come from agents of the bureau. This belief is seriously interfering with the willingness of the freedmen to make contracts for the coming year. In some form the Freedmen's Bureau is an absolute necessity until the civil law is established and enforced, securing to freedmen their rights and full protection. " At present, however, it is independent of the military establishment of the country, and seems to bo operated by the different agents of the bureau, according to their indi vidual notions. Everywhere General Howard, tile able head of the bureau, has made friends by the just and fair instructions and advice ho gave; but the complaint in South Carolina was that when he left things went on as before. Many, perhaps a majority of the agents of the Freedmen's Bureau, advised the freedmen that by their own industry they must expect to live. To this end they endeavoured to secure employment for them, and to see that both of the contracting parties complied with their engagements. In some cases, I am sorry to say, the freedmen's mind does not seem to be disabused of the idea that the freedman has a right to live without cap or provision for the future. The effect of this belief in the distribution of lands is idle ness, and accumulation in camps, towns, and cities. In such cases I think it will be found that vice and disease will tend to the extermination or groat destruction of the coloured race. It cannot bo expected that the opinions held by men at the South for years can bo changed in a day, and, there fore, the freedmen require for a few years not only laws to protect them, but the fostering care of those who will give them good counsel, and on whom they can rely. " The Freedmen's Bureau being separated from the mili tary establishment of the country requires all the expense of a separate organisation. One does not necessarilyknow what the other is doing, or what orders they are acting under. It seems to me this could be corrected by regard ing every officer on duty with the troops in the Southern States as agents of the Freedmen's Bureau; and then have all orders from the head of the bureau sent through the department commanders. This would create a responsi bility that would begot uniformity of action throughout the South, andwould insure the orders and instructions from the head of the bureau being carried out, and would re lieve from duty and pay a large number of the employes of the Government.—l have the honour to be, very respect fully, your obedient servant, to despise and maltreat ;, whole race of their fellow-men ? Sir, this doctrine is as atrocious as the infamous sentiments that damned the late Chief Justice to everlasting fame, and I' ear to everlasting fire." This brutal allusion is to the lamented Taney. The Hon. Thomas Corwin, late United States Minister to Mexico, died on the 17th inst. at Washington. Fenian matters here remain without change. The rival Governments" are in full operation at their respective "capitals," 011ahony at Union-square and Roberts at 734, Broadway. Delegations from various circles throughout the country are arriving, and give their adhesion about equally to the rival Presidents. The contending officials, from the Presidents down, abuse each other violently in the public prints. The public have become thoroughly dis gusted with the whole proceeding, as is manifested by the comments of the press generally. Even those journals which, like the New York. Ilerald, are afflicted with Anglo phobia, now condemn or ridicule the Fenian movement, and frequent cautions to beware of swindling are given by the press to servant girls and others of the labouring classes of Irish, who have principally supplied the treasury of the order. The Mexican queStion is still threatening. It is reported that M. de Montholon is now here, and will not return to Washington until ho has further instructions from the French Emperor. It is rumoured that the French officers on the Rio Grande are so confident that war will result from the existing complications that they are already planning the opening campaign. Gen. Logan is still in acceptW ashi n or o n. has It re is f u n s o e t known d definitively the mission to t will Mexico." A Washington despatch of the 19th says:— The following message was received from the President in answer t 9 the resolution adopted on the 12th inst., ask ing for information as to whether the rebellion has been suppressed. " I have the honour to state that the rebellion waged by a portion of the people against the properly constituted au thorities of the Government of the United States has been suppressed; that the United States are in possession of every state in which insurrection existed, and that, as far as could bo done, the courts of the United States havebeen .restored, post-offices re-established, and steps taken to put into effective operation the revenue laws of the country. "As the result of measures instituted by the Executive with a view of inducing a resumption of the functions of a State, comprehended in the inquiry of the Senate, the people in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee have reorganised their respective State Governments, and are yielding obedience to the laws and Government of the United States with more willingness and greater prompti tude than, under the circumstances, could reasonably have been anticipated.

The Inman steamer City of Cork, from New York on the 21st ult. : arrived here at 12 o'clock to-day, with 74 pas_ sengers and $13,191 in specie. She landed 14 passengers, and proceeded for Liverpool at 12.10 p.m. Her telegraphic advices have beon anticipated. in the limits of the country, has been ratified by each one of these States, with the exception of Mississippi, from which no official information has been received ; and in nearly all of them measures have been adopted, or are now pending, to confer upon freedmen the privileges which are essential to their comfort, protection, and security. "In Florida and Texas the people are making consi derable progress in restoring their Stata Government, and no doubt is entertained that they will at an early period be in a condition to resume all their practical relations with the Federal Government. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BOSTON. (Via Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (Morning). The Provisional Governor of South Carolina has been removed, and the Governor elect has been directed to as sume office. " In that portion of the Union lately in rebellion the aspect of affairs is more promising than, in view of the cir cumstances, could well have been expected. The people throughout the entire South evince a laudable desire to re new their allegiance to the Government, and to repair the devastation of the war by a prompt and cheerful return to peaceful pursuits. An abiding faith is entertained that their actions will conform to their professions, and that in acknowledging the supremacy of the constitution and laws of the United States their loyalty will be unreservedly given its Government, whose leniency they cannot fail to appreciate, and whose fostering care will soon restore them to a condition of prosperity. It is true that in some of the States the demoralising effects of war are to be seen in oc casional disorders ; but these are local in character, not frequent in recurrence, and rapidly disappearing as th e authority of the civil power is extended and sustained. " Perplexing questions were naturally to be expected from the great and sudde n chan g e i n the relations between two races ; but sys t e ms are gradually d eve l oping them selves under which the freedman will receive the protection to which he is justly entitled, and, by means of his labour, make himself a useful and independent member of the community in which he has his home. From all the information in my possession, and from that which I have recently derived from most reliable President Johnson has sent to the Senate the nomination of the ex-member of Congress L. D. Campbell, as Minister Extraordinary to the Mexican Republic, vice General Logan, who has declined. Mr. Bigelow, Minister to France, has been nominated for Congressional confirmation in the H ouse. Mr. Raymond, in a powerful speech, controverted Mr Stevens' doctrine that the rebellious States were out of the Union; but contended that they should give a new guarantee before being admitted to Congressional repre sentation. Congress has adjourned until January 5. The apprehension of negro outbreaks in the South is increasing with the approach of Christmas. The authori ties are prepared to quell any disturbance. The New Fork Herald strongly advocates the liberation of Mr. Davis on the ground of his representing millions of men who believed themselves oppressed and rose in the spirit of freemen. The Southern members of Congress elect have held a meeting, in which they resolved to return home. They will again assemble in Washington on the 4th March. The Secretary of the Treasury is staying in New York. It is not believed that he will place a loan upon the mar ket. Tho report of Carl Schurz to the President upon the condition of the South represents the people as generally submissive, but not willingly loyal. They show no national feeling and have no American sentiment. The negro has been reduced to a condition of practical slavery authority, I am induced to cherish the belief that sectional animosity is surely and rapidly merging itself into the spirit of nationality ; and that representation connected with a properly adjusted system of taxation will result in the har- mon - ions restoration of the relations of the States to the national Union. The report of Carl Schurz is herewith transmitted, as requested by the Senate. No report from lion. John Covode has been received by the President. " The attention of the Senate is invited to the accom panying report of Lieut.-General Grant, who recently made a tour of inspection through several of the States whose inhabitants participated in the rebellion. "ANDREW JOIDTSON. " Washington, Dec. 18, 1866." A special Washington despatch assorts that Secretary Stanton had sent in his resignation of the War Ministry, insisting on its acceptance. [This statement lacks con firmation.] A despatch from Montgomery, Alabama, dated Dec. 16, says :—" Raphael J. Semmes, of the pirate Alabama, was arrested last evening by orders from Washington, and is now on his way north under guard." The cause of the arrest bad not transpired. The following is the report of General Grant, alluded to in the Message of the President to the Senate : " To his Excellency A. Johnson, President of the United States.

A pilot lad, named Kilbride, was adrift in a coble ; he, however, showed great akill in managing his craft, and was cast up on the rocks, whence he was rescued by persons who went to his assistance. In Edinburgh the south-westerly gales were felt with great violence, though coming off the land. They were fortunately un attended by any disaster in the Firth of Forth. On Friday, from noon to 4 p.m., the wind raged over the town, caus ing a considerable number of accidents to person and property. On Saturday there was a blinding snowstorm, the first visit of the cold for the season ; but at night the milder southerly wind again pre vailed, and from 11 o'clock till 2 on Sunday morn ing it blew a perfect hurricane, doing great damage to the chimneys, trees, signposts, and hoardings. In Bishop's-close, High-street, a brick chimney gave way, and fell through three successive stories in the apartments of the several flats occupied as kitchens. No one was in either of the two under kitchens at the time, but in the upper one were three chil dren of Mr. T. Harlow, two of them in bed, and the other a girl of 16, who had not yet gone to rest. Although almost overwhelmed in the rubbish they were extricated alive, and without having received any serious injury. They were got out by Police sergeant Black and Constable Rennie, who set to work with great presence of mind and at great risk to themselves, and who. eventually succeeded in digging through the rubbish, and in bringing them out of the story below that which they inhabited. While the alarm continued the police caused all the ten families in the stair, numbering 63 persons, to take shelter in the head office, which was near at hand, until the state of the building was ascertained and they were able either to return or find accom modation elsewhere. The home in which the oc currence took place was almost the next building to that which fell four years ago with the loss of 35 lives. Various other accidents took place in the course of the night, but were happily unattended with loss of life. On Friday evening the brig Annabel, of Montrose, ran ashore in Montrose-bay. The Annabel left Montrose on Wednesday morning, in ballast, for Sunderland, but owing to the roughness of the weather she had only got as far as the mouth of the Firth when she began to make water. On discover ing this the captain immediately ordered all hands to the pumps, but these were found to be chocked. The vessel then b ecame unmanageable, and was driven back as far as Lunan-bay, where she was on Friday afternoon. In the evening of the same day the wind drove her as far north as Montrose bay, and the captain endeavoured to enter the harbour. This, however, he failed to do, and the brig was driven ashore. The crew took to the boats, and got safely to land, but had to leave all their clothes. Means were being adopted to save the masts, sails, and other movable materials, but the vessel herself will become a total wreck. The Annabel is the property of the Montrose Union Coal and Lime Company.

CHARLES NASH, Om THE GALES. The high gales which have prevailed in London with short intervals since Friday last, we learn from correspondents, have been felt in all parts of the English and Irish coasts, and have been attended with a large number of shipwrecks. In the English Channel the brigantine Princess of Wales, about 180 tons burden, Capt. Campbell master, from Demerara for London with a full cargo of rum and sugar, came ashore, broadside on, at half-past 8 on Friday evening, about 150 yards east of Sandgate Castle, and a mile west of Folkestone harbour. At 6 o'clock, when near Dungeness Point, a man fell from the foreyardarm into the sea, and the mate jumped overboard with a rope to save him. The rope slipped and the mate was obliged to let go his hold. The man then seized the mate's leg, and the latter gripped him by the collar; _ but after a while the shirt collar broke away, and the man sank and was drowned. The mate was taken on board much exhausted, having been in the water half an hour. During this time there was some confusion on board, and the ship had drifted to leeward. The gale now increased, the wind beingS.S.W., and sail after sail was carried away, till the ship was left al most with bare poles; and there being no other sails on board she had become unmanageable, and drifted ashore. All on board were savedly means of a line and a life buoy. A heavy galevisited the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts on Sunday, and continued during the night, but the wind being in a south-westerly direction, the waters in the Yarmouth roads were not so much agitated as is usually the case in an easterly gale. We have, however, to report several shipwrecks, although for tunately unattended with loss of life. The schooner Beeswing, Spencer, of Whitby, from Rouen in bal last, was passing through the roads about noon, when she was driven on the Newcome sands, and has be come a total wreck. The Kessingland beachmen, seeeing the perilous situation of the crew, launched their lifeboat, proceeded to their assistance, succeeded in rescuing them, and landed them at Lowestoft at 6 p.m. The schooner Albion, Dutton, from Shields, of and for London, with coals, while in tow of another vessel,sunk in the south roads opposite the esplanade ; the crew took to their boats and landed in the har bour about 8 a.m. yesterday morning. Both crews were destitute, and have been cared for at the Sailors' Home. The brig Northumberland, from Seaham for London, with coals, was assisted in by a harbour tug, with damage to her stern, having been in collision with the brig Pantaloon, from Blyth for Ferrol, which was also assisted in with loss of anchor and damage to bows. The schooner Advance, Richardson, of Maldon, from London for Sunderland, in ballast, was assisted in, making water. The brig William Birch, of and from Shields for Carthagena, with coke and coal, was assisted in by a harbour tug, with damage to bows, having been in collision with the Cooke lightship. The schooner Heroine, Balam, from Seaham, of and for Ipswich, with coals, lost her anchors and had her windlass broken ; she was assisted in by a tug.. The schooner Linda Flor, Gibbs, from Goole, of and for Ipswich with coal, was caught in the gale, driven in collision with another vessel, and her mainmast carried away ; the Linda Flor was assisted in by a harbour tug. A terrific gale raged from the south along the coast of South Wales on Saturday. On Sunday morning it continued, and at high tide (6 30) the sea broke over the extreme end of the new iron pier, Aberystwith, with such fury that a part of it, about 70 feet in length, comprising the entire head, the under-float stage, standing on 29 iron piles, gave way apparently in mass, for the iron and wood of which it was composed were mostly found at daybreak on the beach beyond the Queen's Hotel, at quite the other end of the sweep of the bay. The damage at present done is estimated at £1,500, but great fears were entertained that a further length would suffer. However, to avert that as much as possible the Foundry Company's men were on Sunday employed in severing the strained parts, so that the damage might be restricted. The new terrace wall (part of a contract of £2,000 en tered into by the corporation of Aberystwith,already erected beyond the north end of the Queen's Hotel) had on Sunday afternoon stood the blast without crack or blemish. Considerable damage seems to have been done during the severe gale of Sunday morning upon the Yorkshire wolds and in some of the more exposed parts of the North Riding. Stacks have been overturned and trees torn up in various places, and some houses had chimneys blown off, and are partly stripped of tiles or slates. The north side of St. Michael's Church, Mahon, suffered somewhat in the roof. Rain fell in torrents, and the land is so saturated that all field work is stopped. After the gale the weather was remarkably calm and mild, but yesterday snow again fell slightly. A hurricane, something in the nature of a cy clone, suddenly broke upon the north-east coast on Friday evening about 4 o'clock. Three vessels, the Windward brig, of Blyth, the Levis, of North Shields, and the bark Union, of Shoreham, were crossing the bar of the Tyne to enter the harbour. The two first mentioned were in tow of steamboats, but they were taken entirely out of the control of the tugs, and thrown upon the sands at Tynemouth, and the bark was pitched with equal violence upon the rocks there. Signals were immediately made from the Spanish battery for the life brigade, and they soon mustered in good force, placed the rocket apparatus on the rocks, and fired lines over two of the ves sels ; but, in the meantime, the South and North Shields lifeboats had pulled out to the vessels, and with some difficulty they succeeded in getting the crews off and landed them at Prior's Haven. About 6 o'clock at night torrents of rainpoured down upon the coast, and after it ceased the torrent lulled, and the night got out fine. Before midnight the sailors had the Windyard and Levis off the strand ; they will receive £lOO for each vessel. The Union is a wreck. The bay of Hartlepool experienced the effects of the hurricane in all its fury, and several AMERICA. NEW YORIC, Dec. 19, Evening.
