MUT wind During the vortex I tried to secure the ship from blowing off, when I feared she must have been car ried over the bar, and probably have become a total wreck, as two other vessels did—a steamer and a schooner; fortunately, we were only blown over on our other bilge, and remained fast. After passing a fearful night the long-wished-for daylight appeared and more moderate weather, though still too much wind and sea to do anything. The scene on shore was terrible ; the town in ruins, not a single vessel (of some hundreds the day before in the harbour) remained; Government House, barracks, hospital, and officers' quarters unroofed and partially blown down ; all stores on the beach destroyed, wharves and commissariat and dockyard piers down ; all the sheds and out-buildings in both places destroyed.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway a rc h es . At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, anti orphans arc, for want a ccommodation, refused admittan ce , andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

The proposed plan for-this _purpose is explained in the statement which has been already circulated, and which, at a numerously attended meeting of the shareholders of the Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited), held at the London Tavern, on the 18th October, 1866, was unani mously and cordially adopted, and a committee of share holders-appointed to "carry out the necessary arrange ments to give effect to the proposal, with power to make such modifications therein as the committee may find necessary."

W. Greenwell, of Dur ham, was brought to a conclusion on Saturday evening. During the month about 20 barrows of all sizes, but all of the round form, have been opened and their structure and contents most carefully—investigated and recorded. These hones have been chiefly on the estates of Lord Londes borough, and Sir Tatton Sykes, and the openings have been made on the North Wold range at Sherburn .and Ganton, on the South Wold range at Enthorpe, and on the Mid-Wold range of Weaver thorpe and Helperthorpe. Thus the sepulchral mounds of the pre-Roman races of both types of crania and of both methods of burial—cremation and inhumation—have been met with. The greater part of the examinations have been made in the graves of a non-metal using people. The only trace of metal found has been of bronze, and this was on the Hel perthorpe Wold (mid range), on Thursday last, when one of the skeletons in a barrow which proved very prolific was found interred with his right hand holding his bronze spear head—a very beautiful and valuable example of an ancient weapon. Apart from this, all implements found haVe been of stone —flint, quartz, or porphyry. Evidences of grave feasting, further substantiating the charge of canni balism against the pre-historic people, have been found, and generally results of an important and highly interesting nature have been arrived at. The investigations have caused remarkable interest among archaeologists; and among the gentlemen in terested in antiquarian matters who have accompa nied and assisted the Rev. Canon Greenwell are Sir Tatton Sykes, Sir J. Lubbock, Mr. J. Evans (author ofipa c pers on " British Coins" and the " Drift Flints"), of Hemel-llempstead ; the Rev. F. Porter, of Yed ingham ; the Rev. J. Mason, of Sherburn ; Mr. IV. Lovel, llelperthorpe; Mr. Southwell, Winchester, Illinois, United States; Mr. Pycock, Mahon; Messrs. J. R. and R: Mortimer, Fimber ; Mr. Monkman, Malton ; Mr. E. F. Cobb, London; Mr. T. Brand, Lutton ; Mr. J. W. Barnes, Durham; and several other gentlemen and lady visitors. The concluding openings of the week, in continua tion of those of the previous three weeks, as re ported in The Sun, are as follows :—The first barrow investigated was of 20 yards diameter, and 4ft. high, made of soil, mixed with chalk, and situate upon the Mid- Woldrange south of Weaverthorpe. Four yards south-east of the centre a large plain urn was found among soft, unctuous, black earth, containing much charcoal and a great number of flint flakes, among which was a long flint scraper and some animal bones. The dark matter extended over the surface for a space of 4ft. diameter, and v,r;.,1 , _thit At. -.112.4--/MLASIIII.--...,11 41, cs. wag 11;c1 Mt was found, and close to it a pelvic bone, femur and other leg bones ; and at the opposite side the greater part of a dolichocephalic skull of a female, placed with the head to the west. This woiture of dis jointed bones lay on the surface: With the bones of the female was a large rolled quartz pebble, show ing much sign of use as a hammer or pounder—a fine specimen. in the centre, and just north-east of these disjointed bones, was a body laid on the left side, with head to the east, the body doubled up, the right hand on the lower part of the chest, the left on the right elbow. Behind the head was an ornate drink ing cup. Before the face—in fact., close to the nose —was the nasal bone of another skull—of which the frontal portion was found 2if t. above, and which seems to have belonged to the same skull of which the occi pital part was found. But why this strange disturb ance ? There was nothing to guide to a satisfactory answer. Between the previously named black de posit and the centre of the bone was another and smaller and thinner deposit of dark matter, the result of great burnings probably, also containing many flint chippings and flakes. Among the mate rial of the hone, casually thrown in during forma tion, were a small thumb-flint, some flint flakes and chippings, and several animal bones, split longitu dinally for obtaining marrow. . _ Two days following were spent on the same range but on the Helperthorpe `Vold, about a mile to the west, in examining an irregularly shaped mound about 15 yards mean diameter and 3ft. high, appa rently the westernmost of two barrows. About 20 years ago a great quantity of soil was removed from this mound, during which work the remains of several bodies were met with and destroyed. Among the materials of the mound remaining were found animal bones, two pieces of British pot tery, a jet button, and two large jet orna ments (part of a necklace), rectangular, lin. by liin., and about ath of an inch thick, longitu tudinally pierced by four holes for stringing, and ornamented in saltire pattern of punctured holes. In the centre of the mound was a large cist sunk into the solid chalk rock, funnel -shaped, narrow ing gradually downwards. The upper diameter was 10ft., the lower sft. by 3ft., the hole lift. below the natural surface. In the chalk rubble filling it were several animal bones, some charcoal, and a few hu man bones, all detached, but there was no syste matic burial. This was a most puzzling cist, parti : cularly as the ground showed no signs of previous disturbance since the cist had been first filledup: On the same range, but one mile to the north, on an opposite slope, the third barrow was opened— a most prolific burying ground. This hone was greatly ploughed down ; so much so, indeed, that it occasionad the greatest surprise to the archaeologists to find the remains so little disturbed by the plough. The mound was 54ft. diameter by lift. high, and formed of the ordinary `Vold soil. The several in terments in this very rich barrow were arranged in a line running north-west and south-east, and with the exception of the most central were all on the natural surface. Eighteen feet east-south-east of the centre a body, or possibly some bodies, had been burnt on the spot, the signs of intenseburning being found over a large surface, and the mass being as hard as concrete, showing fused flint, lime, charcoal, and burnt humanbones, forming abreccia only sepa rable by forcible use of the pick-axe. Except iu its uniform hardness this material resembled the sup posed adipose contents of the long barrow on Wil lerby-wold, which analysis showed to be burnt flint only, with a slight trace of animal matter. Thirteen feet east-south-east of the centre was a body in a contracted position, laid on the left side, the knees of which very nearly touched the mass of burning. This body was perfect in every way. The head lay to the north-west, the left han d was up to the face, t t h h e e e ri r g e l w it n b e a f nd th w e a h s ea o d n Itvheerefoares-iaiorrn: boof hentepillefat.edAat roundedeasseast-south-east u quartz th a e t o fpebble,the andcentre t h ( e p r r e o N b v a a b s l r y n u a c t h charcoal firt the around and beneath the skull. The detached femur of a young person was laid across the skull, andnear the face, in front of the body and about the pelvis, various parts of burnt human bone. Seven feet original centre) was the broken-up body of a child, the bones deposited about 6in. above the surface, and most strangely in disorder. The skull had first been placed on the ground, and the leg bones placed over it, the pelvic bones and ribs coming last of all, on the top. This child had been thoroughly dis membered before burial ; but still more strangely, immediately south-east of the child's bones were three trunkless skulls of adults, placed in a triangle, all with their frontal parts to the west. The one nearest the child's body was erect, and had lost the crelvanum by the plough, and to this head were the cervical vertebrae, one clavicle, and some ribs. The other two skulls were both inverted, and the plough had taken away the lower jaws ; but the face bones and calvaria are good. Where were the bones of these three bodies ? Were they burnt on the funeral pyre? The answer is wanting. Below the three skulls was an oval cist in the rock of 3fft. by 2ift. and lift. deep. This cist was full of burnt matter— some charcoal and parts of burnt bones. Were these from the first-named burning ? Six feet west-north west of the centre another body was found on its left' side, contracted, head to the east. The right band was on the knees, the left up to the face. The right hand held the handle of a very line bronze dagger or spear, the point of which touched the chin. The weapon was in beautiful preservation, and the two rivets which had fastened the- handle to the blade still remained, even the mark of the outline of the handle being visible. The end of the handle had been of bone, and along the line of decayed matter between it and the spear head were found three more bronze rivets, which had apparentlyYfa - stened together two pieces of wood forming the centre part of the weapon. The weapon is a most perfect\specimen, the blade being 4jin. long and very thin and sharp. Some few flint chippings and two fragments of urn were found among the materials of this hone. The skulls were all re-erect, and show the type. The last barrow opened was on the North Wold range, time ago, and yielded an unburnl body, the sku ll o f which Mr. W. Lovel, of Helperthorpe, has formed pre sented to Mr. Greenwell. The barrow was 24 yards opened one of three,of which one some diameter and 4ft. high, composed principally of earth, with a little admixture of chalk. From among the material two pieces of pottery (urn), some flint clippings, and one rudely-formed barbed arrow head of flint were taken. In the centre of the mound a grave was found, sunk into the rock, Gft. by 4ft. Din. and 3ft. deep, oval in shape, and filled in with earth, with here and there lumps of chalk. This cist contained the body of a young man of about 20 years, laid on the left side, body contracted, head to north, left hand to the back of the head, with the fingers doubled in and right hand up to the chin. This was the only burial in this large tumulus, and there was nothing with it. 'The skull in the frontal part was gone, but the rest, though crushed, will put together and show the type. The face, being uppermost, was in contabt with the moist earth, and was most decayed. This, for the present year, concludes the highly im portant and extremely interesting researches among the British tumuli in Yorkshire, and the results ar rived at will be incorporated in the forthcoming " Decade of Skulls from Ancient Northumbria," an nounced for publication by the Rev. W. Greenwell, at whose cost the whole of the investigations have been made. The Stranding of her Majesty's Ship - - "H.M.S. Nimble, New Providence, Oct. 9. " Sir, —I regret to have to report that in a ter rific hurricane on the Ist :Ind 9,3 tn har b ou r of _Nassau, abreast e iNaval arch, on a zailoy pottom, blit. (high water), neap tides. " The ship has not received the slightest damage, and is not making any water. I have cleared every thing out of her, except the pivot-gun and engines, including 70 tons of. coal_ 141v.arything has been placed under cover in the Naval Yard. "On account of all the lighters and vessels (with out exception) having been blown up on the beach and most of them destroyed, I could only succeed in getting a large iron lighter, which was useless in the heavy swell, and I had to land everyt hin g in our own cutter. A fresh N.E. gale has been blowing ever since the hurricane, which has brought a heavy swell in, and made the clearing out a matter of great difficulty and danger. The cutter, our only large boat, swamped alongside full of coals, and was with great difficulty recovered. "I wish to recommend to your notice the two officers named in the margin (Lieut. J. C4r. Jones and Mr. J. Hamilton, gunner), whose indefatigable exertions during the hurricane and in clearing the ship have been most praiseworthy. I beg also to report that the conduct of the ship's company gene rally has been extremely good. The men have bad to work up to their middle in water in a surf, land ing coals and stores, for four days, and, I am happy to add, without any sickness or accident. "I have now built a pier out close to the ship. If we get a high tide rloal l think fficibaatvet the ship will float suf ficientlyhe out, t a w n s o d pr a n n c v g h e s o r y r o s n h ( e o l a N n v r e e y d f p n r u o e s m r t d h a e y b , o the w a t l e n O d t hs haulti e n r s h n t e ) . chase on the chains ; indeed I parted the bower chain with it on the Bth without moving the ship.

The hurricane commenced on the Ist of October, about 10 o'clock, although the great fury was from 1 p.m. until 7 p.m. from N.N.E. and N., and from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. fr©m S., until 8.50 pm. m after which it gradu ally went down. From 7.20 p.. on the Ist of October was a dead calm; when the night, vortex passed over the harbour, the barometer falling to 27.70. There was no indication of the at mid g approaching storm until late on Sunday weather looked when the barometer began to fall ; Sunday was a yards fine clear day with a fresh N.E. breeze, no banking u p of the horizon until sunset or lightui o n w g Bemired boats and night; however, I thought the threatening, and at daylight I struck lower c e a r ble, (with the give harbour and topmasts, got up steam, and I had guns. It was impossible s to o east f to west). a ccount of the na . r .s ro f vk ro le m s l o the N.E., and four shackles to fiveollt s t ] h l; e tek ‘ l v e i s n d o u t w t the westward, in the best berth in the harbour, off the commissariat wharf. . On Monday morning, October 1, it was blowing a fresh gale, N.N.E., at low water, the ship's stern tailed on the sand, but she swung to the flood tide as the tide rose, and rode the hurricane out until one 'p.m., when a gust of extreme fury caught the ship, she being then broadside to the wind, and drove her up on the beach. She fell over in shore. The force of the wind was s? great that Dockyard wall blown down in two places, and nearly all the houses in the town partially or wholly unroofed; public buildings unroofed and four chapels blown down (one a new stone one). All the trees are either blown down or stripped of their leaves and branches. The salt water has blown over the island, and all the wells are salt as far as the Blue-hills, four miles inland. The top of the lighthouse is blown in and the light destroyed. A temporary light is shown. The accounts from the other islands are very dreadful ; great loss of life and property. Most of them being low, the sea made a clear breach over the settlements and completely destroyed them, and the inhabitants are suffering from want of provi sions ; indeed, the suffering of the poorer classes must be dreaieft4l7 their gavt.lena and provision grounds and huts arc all destroyed, and hundreds have no shelter. Providentially, the loss of life at Nassau has not been great—only three, although numerous accidents have taken place. The number drowned in the harbour is not known. The lights on Abaco are damaged, and temporary ones (about the brightness of a ship's light) shown); Stirrup Cay is most damaged ; Great Isaac's and Gun Cay lights have not suffered. Wrecks are reported on all sides by the small boats and distressed vessels that have arrived since the storm. I am unable to obtain as yet any trustworthy in formation from the out islands, but will endeavour to do so. ' A. J. CHATFIELD, Commander and Senior Officer. Her Majesty's ship Nimble, Nassau, Oct. 9. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Nov. 6.—We have had a disap pointing market in nearly all kinds of shipping yarns, and, contrary to the general expectation of pro ducers, they have been compelled to take rather lower prices to make sales. The amount of busi ness transacted, however, has been very fair in ex tent. The sellers of cop yarns for shipping report rather more doing in them, at steady prices, with a tendency slightly against buyers. In home-trade yarns there is no change of prices as compared with Friday. Cops pretty steady. There is a small business doing, and buyers supply themselves only for immediate requirements. Of course, the demand is restricted to some extent through a great many manufacturers having commenced running their mills short time. The cloth-market is flat, with but little inquiry for any description. Buyers for India and China hold aloof, and are making but few offers, and those few at rates which sellers can not accept. If the sales were pressed, lower rates would have to be taken. Sellers put up their quo tations in consequence of the rise in cotton, butsuch quotations can only be regarded as nominal. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth-market :-- 17 raised their piices ; but the very limited demand for goods, and general feeling of depression to-day, have checked this slight improvement, and our quo tations remain the same as last week." CARDIFF, sth.—Throughout the district the steam coal collieries are actively employed, and in conse quence of the improved demand from the Eastern, Wrest Indian, and Mediterranean markets the output at many of the pits has been considerably increased.

LEEDS, 6th.--To-day's markets in the cloth-halls have been, like those of the last few weeks, rather flat. Some of the buyers present appeared to be more intent on buying any lots they could pick up at prices lower than those regularly asked, than on buying goods in the regular way ; but, with the ex ception of some classes of heavy goods the season able demand for which is now nearly over, few job lots are to be met with. Plain cloths, meltons, and coatings have sold but slowly. The demand for tweeds has been quite as good as for the last two or three market days, though it is not so brisk as was reported a month ago. Still thereis no stockof theso goods lying over, and manufacturers keep busy. The general quotations for wool, woollen yarns, and cloths are without change.

The promotion to the Active List of Commanders by Sir J. P g akin ton of Stan-Com mander Moriarty might be regarded as a compliment to the class of which the now recipienthonour of is a member, but we fear to him personallythere would jai? no advan tage, and we only hope that te present First Lori: of th° Admiralty will ma r k the' sense in which he holds t:2 O abilities of Commander Moriarty by at once promoting' him n v it y o g th o a od rank of captain. The precedent P would be g( one, and. certainly not likely to engender any eab ill-feeling, from the simple fact that we do not lay a • le from the Eastern to the Western hemisphere every year ; and it should not be forgotten that if we might hap pen to lose a cable, we should require a man like Com mander Moriti'ity to look for it. In the meantime we are not without howhat if the offer of a captain's commission be made to Commander Moriarty, there will at the same time be conveyed to him the proiniso of such immediate employment as will lead to his further promotion when qualified by the ordinary term of servitude. —Army and Navy Gazette. r.,, ~,,,, GRAND OCEAN YACHT RACE.--.-'ine N ew Y or k Yacht Club aro now making arrangements for a grand ocean yacht race to take place next year.
