The non-arrival of homeward bound ships at Gravesend during the gales led to the most alarming apprehensions for their safety. They were known to be near the shore, and it was feared that they had been cast upon the dan gerous shoals which intersect the month of the Thames below tha Nore. Yesterday some:of them arrived in the river, and bore evidence of the gale. The arrivals gave sad intelligence of the destruction among ships which only a few hours before had left the Thames. A large outward bound Australian ship, called the Fusileer, Capt, Cavasso, with passengers and general cargo, bound for Port Phillip, struck on the Girdler Sand, some 20 miles below the Nore. Signals for assistance were shown, and the whole of the passengers were saved, and landed at Ramsgate on Thurs day from a lifeboat. Another large ship called the Deme rara, Capt. Scovell, from London, bound for Greenock, was lost on the Shingles, and the crew were also fortunate enough to reach Ramsgate in safety. A third ship, the Cornelia, outward bound, from Bremea, was wrecked on the Goodwin Sands, and the fate of her crew is yet uncer tain. The brigantine Belle, Capt. Pyne,bound from London for Algoa Bay, was driven from her anchors in the Downs by the force of the hurricane, and drove athwart a steamer carrying away her foretopmast, and the captain, chief mate, and three men are missing. The second mate, one lady pas senger, one seaman, and two boys wer3 only left on board when the brigantine was fortunately licked up by the Na poleon steamtug, and a lugger called tie Buffalo, of Broad stairs, which remained by her until the gale moderated, and succeeded in towingthe disabled vessel into Ramsgate. A large Calcutta ship, known as the Maxwell, to escape being wrecked on the Goodwin, cut allay her masts and so averted her destruction. She is insued for upwards of £50,000. A large fleet of vessels are reported to have sus tained damage by loss of chainlmitzus—several have got into Ratasgatii, Dovef, and iklrifirpti,s6B. - _ _ METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Some anxiety prevailed with regard to the rash and foolish men who took their laden vessels out to sea on Wednesday evening just as the gale was coming on. They would en counter very bad weather off the Yorkshire coast. The wind has been off shore, and no casualties are reported to have occurred upon the coast of Northumberland and Dar ham. On the Northumberland coast the fishermen aro are warned of impending storms by the admirable system established by the Duke of Northumberland, who has barometer stations in the principal fishing villages. Ad miral Fitzroy's storm warnings are also exhibited by the officers of the Coast-guard on all the prominent headlands between the Tyne and the seaport of Blyth. The accounts and telegrams which came to hand yester day from distant continental porta describe the recent gale as the most severe that has been experienced since the fear ful storm in 1857.

The CHIEF ENGINEER read the following re port as to the progress of these works: — The Engineer reported that " About lot miles of the middle level line all its branches, con- sisting of sewers varying in size from 4ft. by 2ft. _ . Bin. to 12ft. by 2ft. Gin., have been completed by Messrs. Brassey and Co., at a probable cost of £289,000, being £5,000 in excess of my last report. Much of the past month's work under this contract has consisted of small sewers and connexions, which necessarily consume more time in their execution that in a fair run with the main work. " I reported last month that the western sewerage works had made slow progress, owing to the very difficult nature of the soil, the quantities of water met with, and other adverse causes; but these have now assumed a somewhat more favourable aspect, and Messrs. Moxon and Co. will, therefore, I anti- cipate, be enabled to proceed more rapid'y with their contract.

The mercury rose rapidly until it reached last night 31.95 In the harbour all the vessels rode out the gale in safety with their topgallantmasts struck and their yards pointed well to the wind. While the storm raged the waves were washed completely over the caissons at the entrance of the docks, causing considerable inconvenience to those working on board the ships under repair. Fears were entertained that the roofs over some of the building slips would be de stroyed, but beyond some broken glass they escaped unin jured. The force of the wind when the gale was at its height was 201 b. to the square foot. At Lowestoft the steamer Norfolk, Capt. Bolland, from Rotterdam for Harwich, with cattle, &c., in the service of the Great Eastern Railway Company, was forced into the harbour, having been blown to leeward of her port. She came in in want of fuel, and with 25 sheep, four calves, and ene cow dead. The steamer, which experienced very heavy weather, is discharging her cargo. The brig Herald, of Whitby, Capt. Shaw, from London for Hartlepool, in bal last, drove on the Mouse Sand about 5 p.m. on Thursday, and commenced filling with water. The crew remained with her until 9 p.m., when, as the vessel had nearly filled, they took to their boat, and were picked up about midnight by the schooner Pilot, of Goole, which brought them into the Lowestoft Roads, The crew were landed by the tug Powerful, and will be forwarded to their homes through the agency of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society. At Beccles a granary belonging to Mr. J. Crisp, near the railway station, had one of its sides forced in, and a portion of the roof blown off. Charles Oxborough, a bricklayer, who haditaken shelter from the fury of the hurricane, was killed, and a boy was seriously injured. The various mail steamers between Southampton, Havre, and the Channel Islands have been more or less retarded by the violent weather. The South-Western Company's fine new steamer Normandy, which was due at Southampton from Jersey and Guernsey early on Wednesday evening, did not arrive till between 8 and 9 o'clock on Thursday night. She behaved admirably in this heavy weather, and on her arrival in dock the passengers presented Capt. Harvey with an address of thanks for " the sterling qualities of a true British sailor displayed on this, one of the most terrific pas- sages ever known between Jersey and Southampton." Dur ing the voyage several large ships were passed, some laying to and others running under bare poles, and some were no ticed with their topmasts gone. At Portsmouth, last night, the gale had subsides in a strong breeze from W.N.W., with the barometer slightly on the rise at 29.40. The readings on the barometer there taken at 10 a.m. for the past days have been as follows : Dec. 1, 29.7 ; 2, 28.98 ; 3, 29.25, it having fallen to and fallen from 2952 in the intervening time ; Dec. 4, 30 38. In this last reading it will be seen the mercury rose 11-tenths above an inch in 24 hours. At aristol, on Thursday, a stone weighing 141 b. was dis lodged from the tower of All Saints' Church, Corn-street, and was blown down into a crowded thoroughfare, but for- tunately without doing any harm. At Clifton a chimney stack fell, killed a horse, and broke a waggon to pieces, but the driver escaped. At Abbot's Leigh, near Bristol, a man in the employ of Sir W. Miles, M.P., was at work in a ditch, when a tree fell on him and fractured his legs. At Weston super-Mare the gale was very violent. The sloop Gleaner went on shore at Breane, and became a total wreck. The Mary had to run into Uphill, with sails torn to ribands, and with loss of her boat ; and damage was also done to the fishermen's boats in the bay. The gale was so sudden at Watchet that three boats, with two fishermen in each, went out in a comparative calm about two miles to fish with cod nets. One of the boats, however, was upset, and both men were drowned, while the others experienced the greatest difficulty in reaching the shore. At Taunton 50ft, of a chimney 100 ft. high, erected at Mr. Pollard's steam saw works, was blown down with a tremen dolls crash, falling on and breaking in a workshop, in which five men were at work. Two of them escaped, while the other three were seriously injured. At Birmingham the gale of Thursday did considerable damage, and caused accid en t s b y w hi c h many pers ons were injured. At a manufactory in Birchall-street, a chimney belonging to some premises adjoining was blown down and fell through the roof of a warehouse, A man and several women were injured. One unfortunate girl was dead when extricated from the mass of bricks and other material. The anemometer at the Midland Institute showed that the pres sure of the wind at 7 o'clock in the morning was 201 b on the square foot; a little before 8 it had fallen back to 111 b ; at 9 it was 2311 b ; and soon after 10 it had again fallen to 131 b. At 10 45 it was 1911 b, and at 12 o'clock the pressure was 25111 s full. It so remained for nearly an hour, and then gra dually declined. In the storm which occurred on the 21st of February, 1861, the greatest pressure of the wind in Bir mingham was 311 b on the square foot ; b u t a t th a t p o i n t i t appears the instrument was brok en d o wn by the violenc e o f the gust. At Holyhead the storm appears to have been felt more sever ely than on any other p ar t of the coas t.

It depended upon the weather whether she and three other ships lying near her, whose names were not ascertained, would not be come total Wrecks. The Westbourne, Capt. A rm it age , from Liverpool for Honduras, having lost one of her masts, came into collision with a bark in the same c on diti on and sank; The crew were seen from th e shi p Confluence, against which the Westbourne ran, to take to the boat, but in a few minutes the boat swamped, and all were drowned. The body o f th e captain has been found. The Hibernia, from Workington for Dublin, came in during the gale and cast two anchors. Both cables broke and she was driven to the rocks on the south side of the bay. She yesterday morning had not broken up. Her crew waded to the shore at low water. The Climax, of Fowey (?), has min on the Salt Island. The Industry, from Liverpool for Ostend, was abandoned by her crew, but afterwards some of the men of the mail steamer Connaught boarded her and brought her into port. The Pearl, of Fowey (P), is wrecked. The crew were saved. The fate of the Harmony, from Air for Drogheda, and her crew was remarkable. About 7 o'clock on Thursday night, she was driven rapidly towards the lee shore. She passed close to the end of the Great Eastern jetty, from which the mail steamers take their departure, and in a moment four of the crew gave a leap for life, an d reached the jetty. One boy only remained on board. About 2 o'clock on Friday morning Constables Toohill and H u ghes, of the Anglesey police, were sent by the inspector along the shore to see whether any persons might be in w ant of assistance. They heard the poor boy on board the Har.mony hallooing for help. By means of a rope they pulled him ashore through a tremen dous surf, and in abou t lo minutes afterwards the s hi p broke in a thousand pieces . The mail steamer Leincester de layed her departure from 2p.111. yesterday till 3 a.m. t o -d ay, when she received the nig ht mail from London. Strenuous and most successful exertions were made duri ng Th urs d ay night by the lifeboat to sa ve the lives in jeopardy. The same lifeboat, manned by the same crew, brou g ht 47 men ashore from the different ships in the course of 12 h ours . The gale abated at Shields during Thursday ni g ht, an d yesterday the weather was bright and clear, with a fresh wind from the W.N.W. As the bar is in such excellent condition through the improvements made by the Tyne Commissioners in the s ummer, the depth o f wa t er ena bl es laden vessels to sail much earlier in the tide than hereto fore, and from 6 o'clock yesterday morning until half-past 11 o' c l oc k in the forenoon coal-laden vessels, mostly for London, were leaving the Port as fast ae the steam tugs pleted 2 2-3 d miles of sewers, of sizes varying from 3ft. 9in. by 2ft. 6in. to 4ft. 6in. circular, at an esti mated cost of about £38,000, or £3,000 more than reported last month. "The northern outfall sewer is not quite com pleted, the weather having been unfavourable to the work at the apron of the river, which can now only be proceeded with at certain periods of the tides. A small portion of the embankment also re- mains unfinished. The total cost of the work done by Mr. Furness under this contract is about £635,00 0 , of which £1,500 is due to the progress made in the past month. " Mr. Furness's contract for the northern outfall reservoir is progressing satisfactorily. The arches are being turned in three of its compartments, and the puddle and embankment are being formed over them. The penstocks, 32 in number, are all fixed in the wall nest to the substructure. The estimated value of the work done is about £125,000, being £20,00 0 more than at the date of my last monthly report. " Mr. Webster is making fair progress with the southern outfall works at Crossness. The total cost of the work done is estimated at £168,700, £7,200 being for that executed in the past month. " Upwards of two miles of the main southern low level sewer have now been completed by Mr. Webster, at an estimated cost of about £74,000, of which £7,000 is due to the progress made last . month. " The whole line of the Bermondsey branch of the southern low level sewer, with the exception of the Spa-road junction and penstock chamber, is com pleted, by Messrs Aird and Son. Its total length is nearly three miles, and its estimated cost is £83,500, or £1,500 in excess of my last monthly report. "The works at the Southwark new street are being pushed rapidly forward in order to get that important line of thoroughfare open to the public throughout its entire length, from the Borough to the Blaekfriars-road, by the end of the present year. Mr. Pearson, under his contract for the completion of the street between the Blackfriars-road and Great Guildford-street, has constructed about 1,534 feet of the subway, 1,620 feet of the sewer, 840 feet of area wall, 198 vaults, and about 3,000 feet of pipe connexions. These and other minor works am ount in value to about £ 19,500, b ei ng £3,500 f or the work done in the past month. Engineer ( Si gne d) "I. W. BAZALGETTE, THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT ISLINGTON. The Superintending Architect (Mr. Vulliamy) presented the following report : "Fall of House, west side of Islington-green. " I have to report that an inspection of the pre mises has been made on the 27th ult., before the ruins had been much disturbed, when the fact that the front wall fell upon its own base, or perpen dicularly, and net inwards, as represented in some of the newspapers, was clearly discernible. " The building was for a public house on the site of an old one, and was being rapidly hastened to completion before the cattle-show on the 7th of December. From the district surveyor's clerk, who was present, the following particulars have been gathered :—Mr. Mosely received notice on or about the 22d of October, so that in a month and five days the building was completed in carcase, and some of the sash frames were being fixed. The frontage is 36 feet, and the wall which fell went up through four stories. It was 18 inches thick in the b ase ment, and had piers in the ground story sup porting brestsummers 14in by 12in, with a flitch of iron in the centre. These brestsummers had five points of support, and they were built in cement." Mr. VULLIAMY, the architect, proceeded to state that after a careful examination of the circumstances connected with this unhappy affair, he was de cidedly of opinion that over-haste was employed, not only in completing the building, but also in fol lowing up the other works, which would necessarily cause a great jar upon the unset and green brick work. A letter was then read from Mr. W. Mosely, the district surveyor, in which he attributed the failure to the want of a due and sufficient settling of the mortar and cement, from the state of the atmos phere, the rapidity of the execution of the works, or the vibration of the scaffolding, or perhaps the whole combined. It is only fair to Mr. Mosely to state that he claims to be exonerated from all blame in th e transaction. The whole subject was referred to the Streets and General Purposes Committee for a report. The Board then adjourned. Horniman's Tea is choice and strong, moderate in p rice, and wholesome to use. These advantages have secured for this Tea a general preference.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Capt. A. Cochrane, C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday evening, and joined the Edgar, bearing the flag of Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., commander in chief of the Channel Fleet, and the Resistance, 16, iron frigate, Capt. Chamberlain, at Spithead anchorage. Messrs. Trachsell and Clayton, patentees of the ozone gas, with which the engine room and screw alley of the ship is partially lighted, have received orders from the Admiralty to complete the lighting of that part of the ship on their system. Capt. Cochrane soon after the arrival of the ship in port applied to the Admiralty for an order for lighting the ship throughout, or nearly so, on Messrs. Trachsell's system; but the Admiralty have declined to ac cede to his request, owing, it is said, to the contents of are port, forwarded for their information by the chemical assi6- taut of Portsmouth dockyard, ascribing explosive powers to the gas, together with other properties dangerous to human life. Now the chief qualities claimed by the patentees for the ozone gas are its perfect non-explosiveness and its free dom from sulphur or other vapours that can be deleterious to life if inhaled in confined spaces, and the numerous expe riments which have been carried out on board the Warrior fully confirm these conclusions. During the recent cruise of the Channel Fleet round the coasts of the United Kingdom much valuable information w A a s s a c n o li ll e c u s t e d t r a f t r i o o m n t o h f e t r h e e c o n r a d t s u lLe p o t f o t n h b e s o e a r r d e c e l o i ff r d e r o e , n a t u s d h ips. the wide range they have taken, we give two of the shortest in form and most apposite in character, selected from the many kept on board the representative ship of our iron-dads— the Warrior. The consumption of coal from July 11 to Oc tober 3 from the time of leaving Spithead a a t t Plymouththe mencem ent of the cruise until anchoring Sound at its conclusion, for the various purposes, was as follows—Lighting fires and getting up steam, 186 tons ; keeping fires banked, 35 tons ; in evolutions and experi ments, 82 tons 10 cwt.; distilling water, 72 tons; culinary purposes, 21 tons 5 cwt.; keeping station with squadron, 663 tons 10 cwt. The total expenditure was thus 962 tons 5 cwt. The number of hours the fires were lighted was 1,406 ; the number of hours steam was up, 604 ; the number of hours the screw was actually working, 341; the total quantity of fresh water distilled in gallons was 127,000 ; the total distance the ship went in knots, by log, was 2,286 ; the maximum power of engines exerted was 3,186 horse power, and the minimum 73'5 ; the number of days was 35. The most striking feature in these figures is the reduction of the working power of the monstrous engines of the Warrior to 73 indicated collective horse power, the engines at the time making 10 revolutions, and the ship going 2 knots. This is probably the greatest feat yet accomplished with marine engines of large power. Friction in this instance can scarcely be said to have existed at all. As an example of a record of an entirely opposite kind we give the following, which relates to the number of visitors received on board the War rior at the various ports visited. The numbers were—At Yarmouth, 15,000 ; Sunderland, 24,285 ; Leith, 47,049 ; Invergordon, 4,500 ; Orkneys, 2,000; Lough Foyle, 35,000; Greenock, 41,100 ; Belfast, 21,500 ; Liverpool, 57,400 ; and Dublin, 20,000. There was also received on board at the various ports from yachts and small vessel, of which no exact record was kept, an estimated number of 30,000. The grand total was thus 301,634. The greatest number of visitors on board in one day was 14,273, at Sunderland, and the greatest number of steamers alongside in one day was 194. The Steam Reserve Commission still remain at Ports mouth, and yesterday were engaged in receiving evidence in the room set apart for their use in the offices of the steam factory. The Duncan screw liner, at Portsmouth, is being hurried forward for commission as the flagship of Admiral Sir James Hope. Mr. Crichton, the newly appointed chief engineer, has joined. The pennant, it is expected, will be hoisted on the Ist of January, 1864. The Wasp, 17, screw, Commander W. Bowden, fitting out at Portsmouth for foreign service, was swung yesterday for the adjustment of her compasses, and is expected to go out of harbour to Spithead to-day, where she will take in her ammunition and complete stores previous to leaving for her destination. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Matthew Barker, engineer, to the Russell— Hubert F. Roe, assistant paymaster, to the Victory—T.ll% L. Bowling ant James K.

Mr. J. MORANT LOCKYER, an architect, sud denly Withdrawn from the exercise of a thriving practice in his profession by the severe affliction of total blindness, has generously presented his numerous sketches and studies made during a long residence in Italy, to the Institute of British Architects. This disposition to enable others to benefit by his labours in the free use of these sketches and professional notes—and, judging by their number, his industry must have been unwearied and in cessaut—is in itself a rare occurrence. Mr. Lockyer has augmented these benefits to his former colleagues by the donation of an extensive series of the best casts from the early Consular Diptychs and ancient ivory carvings which he had long studied. His minute knowledge of subjects of this nature, and even on a larger scale, was shown in his account of ancient Italian bronze doors, and other papers contributed to the Architectural Publication Society. The casts from the ivory carvings now presented to the Institute were carefully arranged by himself, and arc contained in drawers with a handsemely ornamented cabinet.— Ationoion. THE ARMY. In consequence of the numerous cases of corporal punish ment put in force by the verdict of garrison courts martial at Woolwich during the past year, a meeting of the inha bitants was yesterday held in the Town-hall, with a view of manifesting abhorrence of the practice, which it was proved is considerably on tho increase. Letters were received from Lord Fermoy, MX., Mr. W. Cox, M.P., Mr. J. Locke, M.P., Mr. C. Butler, M.P., Mr Alderman Salomons, M.P., and others, approving the object of the meeting, but re gretting their inability to attend. The Town-hall was crowded, and the platform was filled by the members of the Local Board of Health, clergymen of the different denomi nations, and the most influential residents of the district. Those who addressed the meeting all spoke in favour of substituting for corporal punishment imprisonment for va rious terms. It was asserted that the use of the cat, instead of reforming criminals, only rendered them more desperate and unmanageable, The Danish Difficulty. The following is a translation of a despatch sen by Earl Russell to the British Ambassador at Berlin, and to the representative of England at Frankfort : " Foreign-office;Nov. 23. " Sir,—Her Majesty's Government have observed with great regret, from a telegram received from Sir Alexander Malet, that the claims which Prince Frederic of Augustenbourg raises to the succession in the Duchies of Schleswig-and Holstein have been brought before the Federal Diet by the Minister of Baden, who thereby acts as the representative of the Prince, and that the question raised in consequence has been referred to a committee.

Both Governments regard the totality of these sti pulations as an inseparable whole, which received its completion by the Treaty of London. As the case has now arisen which was contemplated by the treaty, both Governments are prepared to execute the treaty, if the Crown of Denmark, on its part, complies with the preceding stipulations, the rea lisation of which formed a condition precedent to the signature of the Treaty of London by Austria and Prussia. According to the view of both Go vernments the succession in Lauenburg belongs to King Christian even if the Treaty of London were not valid, while the next legal heir of the late King Frederic, Prince Frederick of Hesse, has transferred his right to King Christian. The admission of the Minister of Lauenburg, nominated by the King of Denmark, in the same proportion as the representa tives of single constituent States have a right to be present and vote at its sitting, seems therefore utl; assailable.

In the provinces the arrests are even more numerous than before, especially among the Bourbonists, but it i s only fair to add that all are taken alike, the Bourbonist s , Garibaldians, and Mazzinists. Colour no longer counts. it, is no longer a question of political opinions, but of private. usage, interest, and antipathies. In the Casano Mute and Benevento districts 30 persons have lately been arrested on a charge of connivance with the brigands. Others, warned in time, have escaped, and have joined the band of the Pietragallesi. From Catanzaro, we hear that a residence in the pro vince, even in the principal towns, has become impossible. If one has the goad luck to escape the brigands, it is only to fall into the grip of the Government, Monaco has found imitators and supporters. The bands of Strataca, of Dome nico, of Sacchetiello, of Palma, of Parfundi, are much talked of, as well as several others, who hav e not yet had time to become famous. The province of Terra D'Otrante is one of the 13 which are of right in a state of siege, but until last week few arrests were made there. Sixty-four persons were arrested at one time in the three little towns of Castellanetta, Martina, and Gallipoli-40 of the most not able inhabitants of the country were put in prison.

Many new bands are in process of formation, especially in the Basilicata. A correspondent writes to me frem Gallipoli, in the province of Leece : " Here, as throughout the whole of the provinces, secret lists are made of the inspected persons, in pursuance of the Pica law, familiarly known here as the " Act for tiler negation of all liberty." Party spirit, family discords, per sonal vengeance, anonymous denunciations—these are the order of the day, so that arrests are multiplied all along the line. One town offers a melancholy spectacle, indeed. From every point came groups of people, led in under guards of gensd'armes, arrested under the Pica law—that is, accused of being suspected. Everywhere the prisons are full to overflowing. In that of Ruffen° several prisoners narrowly escaped suffocation, owing to the immense numbers of per ' sons crowded together having utterly vitiated the air. A little longer perseverance in this plan, and the Piednion tese will have imprisoned every honest man in the two Sicilies." M. Massari, in his report upon brigandaze, exults in the' M, fortunate results of the levy of 1862. Nevertheless, the' Chamber was obliged to vote a law for sending to the mili tary tribunals not only those who resisted the levy for mili tary service, bnt such persons as lent any support or aid to that resistance. The discussion took place amid great op position. It was contended that the offences of citizens should only be referred to their natural judges. But all was in vain, the law was passed, the law is in action, and God only knows with what violence it is enforced. Never theless, the refractories and the brigands increase in num ber every day. In Sicily especially, where formerly the• conscription did not exist, refractories and deserts may be counted by thousands. You already know the measures adopted to prevent the escape of the refractories. The towns are in blockade, no one, no matter whom, is permitted to go out, even in cases of absolute need, to fetch food, water, or any necessary of life. In certain places in Sicily they allowed the sulphur to be burnt, and on a complaint being made to the military authorities those implicated were flogged with horsewhips. The Terrentoto has already published some documents re lative to a conflict of this kind in the town of Favara. At the commencement, these measures had some success, but now the refractories are w arned, and they go off to swell the ranks of brigandage. At Palermo, the results are small. A proclamation by the military Government obliges the citizens to procure a certificate of birth, which must always be ready to be exhi bited on the smallest requisition, if they do not wish to ex pose themselves to imprisonment as refractories; and the administration is so ignorant of facts that it is not uncom mon to see a man of 30 arrested and called upon to exhibit his son of 20, a bachelor, because his son is a refractory, aeTcomplices— sce.
