Nothing can be n more distinctly unfair and un just)" it growls and whines, " than thus to perse vere) as the Admiralty writers do, in charging 11 3 with unpatriotically depreciating the power of England." Poor Times ! which is accus tomed to assassinate with a blow, to blub bor a beaten school-boy :about " unfair and ,lnjust." Its miserable plight is best shown howevort by its re cr i m i nat i ons. It alleges, An inouirar would find, for instance, in certain lists of s i i i ). •s now building,' which have gone the round of the Millet rial prints w i t hi n t h e l est month, a first rate man-of-war called the Roy a l F re d er i c k. B ut h e would search in va in for any su c h vesse l, or even for the keel of it. A I..ttle extra investigation, however, would bring to light the fact, that this same Royal Frederick was rechristel:ed the Queen some time in 1839, was lately launcher; at Portsmouth under that nam e ; and this appears twice in the same list under two different denominations I This is an exceedingly easy method of doubling the force of the navy. " . Here no precise date is given, and no paper Mentioned. " Within a month the statement has gone the round of the Ministerial press,"—a single mistake concerning one ship only is de tected, and that is called " an easy way of doubling the na v y." The statement, it is plain, with such a mistake did not proceed from authority, but from copying some old naval list. It is a notable cir ; - cumstance, however, as it affords a vindication of the Times. That Journal further states, " The greater part of our present navy consists of old ships, and of a scantling and weight of metal now generally dis used ; and while this is the case, we are not yet, even with war actually threatening us, using any adequate exertion to replace this peace-establish - Ment navy by better buiit and more formidable vessels." What does the Times mean by "gene rally disused," Our own navy, the American, find the French navies are the only navies of much importance ; and that our navy consists of some small ships is a refutation of the assertion of the Times. As long as we have small ships they are not generally disused. But what is the secret of our having small ships; and the French and Americans having only large ones ? At the close of the war, the navy of France was nearly annihilated, and a new one was to be formed. The Americans, till about the same pe riod, had no line-of-battle ships, and they, like the French, in building a new fleet, as far as it has yet gone, have adopted the plan of building larger ships Aion ghly P lete its Ice of a pher heads tbs o r ,gal-- ; c hin is an d ;KIN, inland b'3 e%' ists" d by the L flie s/es r 4httisll 'of i° where 11) 111U11:‘ ?Be ;Jr ba' _ former r wi''' n IY lbv Ps` 1 ;AV in !be tilVb r • ifter ;e¢ 1. use to re l e. urrid era of i' ° ii° l !; of 2" I , I to ! than were before in use. Was the Admiralty, for such easu:,, at once to ell or break up al those small 74's, or 98's, or 110 .gun ships, in which our seamen gained all our victories ? It would have been absurd; but, as they have been worn out, andas othe r ships have been built, they have been framed on a much larger scantling, and to carry a greater weight of metal. The Rodnay, the Vanguard, the Queen, the St. George, the London, the Calcutta, the Powerful, the Ganges, &c. &c., are all immense ships, and all those planned and begun by the present Sur veyor of the Navy, are in fact of gigantic dimen sions. As we stated on Nov. 6th, sixteen of th e line-of-battle ships now in commission are of the most formidable description, and most approved construction. It requires time undoubtedly to pre pare timber, and build ships, and the provision which was made under the Tory regime fo r that purpose having been directed towards smaller ships than the present Administration approve of, the Times ought to blame, if it blame anybody, its own Tory friends. But no person is to blame for a deficiency in our naval armament, for no such deficiency exists. The small vessels which the Times depreciates, are preferred by some naval officers, and the fact is undoubted, that by their means all our great victories were obtained. The Times, in truth, seems envious of the Herald , and aspires to the name and honours of GRANNY. It has tumbled into dotage. The Thunderer has laid aside his bolts to assume the night-cap of an old woman. Its coarse, scowling features, however, do not look well in the disguise, and whining becomes him even less than bullying. He reminds us of some of those weather-beaten termagants of the street and the gin-shop, when they have fallen into the clutches of the police and rave under the united influence o drink and impotent delirium. " Let me alone," the whining Thunderer exclaims in substance, "you have hit me by sending communications to the out_ ports ; you have punished me by what you hav e written in the London journals, but I will still roar, and kick; and bite, and scratch." And he does kick, and bite, and scratch after the fashion of which we have given a specimen, but he will no longer hurt any body,lhowever he may waste, by his ravings, the little strength that is yet left to the de caved Thunderer. The whole of the French' Journals of Friday and Saturday have been received. They bring some interesting correspondence from the coast of Syria, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The Messager of Friday night, which announces itself as the only evening organ of the SOULT. GUIZOT Cabinet, and the Moniteur of Saturday morning, publish the following telegraphic despatch from Toulon, bringing the latest news from the ca pital of Egypt : ~ TOULON, Nov. 10. " ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 1. " THE CONSUr o -GENERAL TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL. " The conoentration of the Egyptian troops which were at Tripoli, Tortosa, Latakia, and Horns, has taken place towards Baalbeck.t.The new Prince of the Moun tain, the Emir Beschir.Sagir, was on the 22d at Am mans, with a considerable force, about four hours' march from Ibrahim. A decisive engagement was expected. St. Jean d'Ac re had not been attacked on the 27th. All was tram) uil at Alexandria." Lord PA.3I.II4ERSTON'S note of the 2d of Novem ber, in answer to M. TRIERS' note of the Bth of October, has excited quite a commotion among the French journals. Is it to be regretted that it bears date after the appointment of the SOULT-GUIZOT Ministry was known in London ; because every thing is to be regretted which serves the war party as a handle for appeals to the worst passions of the French people. Not that it is to be supposed that the note was not actually written and communicated to the representatives of the Great Powers, before the retirement of M. THIERS from office was known to have been. resolved upon by that Minister. But a, every prete:it afforded by the English Government is eagerly seized for traducing the views of th e French Ministry by the war Journals, we repeat that we regret the post-dating of this de spatch, which, after all, is an examination of an abstract principle which may, or may not be invoked in settling the Eastern question. The date here is a blunder, not a fault. But the as sumption of the French Opposition Press, that the note while nominally addressed to M. THIERS wa s virtually intended for a warning to NI. GUIZOT, is wholly untrue. At half-past three o'clock, Lord Granville, the Eng lish Ambassador., went in state to the Foreign Office, where he bad a c, )nference with M. Guizot, which lasted till within a few r minutes of five o'clock. Lord Granvill e appears to be in a state of much suffering ; be cat mot enter or alight from his carriage without assistant e. _ _ The And de la: Religion announces the death of the Rev. Father Maria Joseph de Geramb, Superior of La Trappe. The Committct! of the Chamber of Deputies has heard to-day the e xplanations of the Ministers of War, Finance, and Mari nc ; they remained in the Committee till five o'clock. The Commitu:e' of the Chamber of Peers is to meet to-morrow, to re ceive the draft of the Address, which it is said will lto communicated to the Chamber on Monday.—Gaza tle de France. We hear that M. Dupin has been nominated to make the report on th c Address. Private letters announce that the Lavoisier steam boat, which left. Syra on the 2d, arrived at Toulon on the 9th. This. is the vessel which brought the news announced in th a telegraphic despatch yesterday. It seems that the Lavoisier has also brought intelligence that the blockade of Alexandria is deferred till the end of November.—Le Commerce. ( Frani Galignani's Messenger.) Most of the journals comment upon the note of Lord Palmerston in reply to that of the Bth of October of M. Thiers. It will be seen that several of the Op position papers t impress great dissatisfaction at this note, which they rega rd as both hostile and arrogant, but the opinion that it is hostile is not general in the Opposi tion press, altho ugh all agree in describing it as strongly tinctured with arrogance. The Conservative journals maintain consiclerable reserve in their notice of this document. Tue _Debuts, in fact, merely states with great brevity th e nature of its leading points. This journal says : "The Englis h Government refuses to admit as a principle the neQessity of the existence of the Egyptian power, or the right, as a principle, of foreign Powers to dictate to the Sultan as to the nomination of the functionaries of his empire." The Presse (inters into the subject at greater length than the Debra:, but it makes the note rather the ground of an at tack upon M. Thiers, than an occasion for expressing its opinion as to the position on which it places the East ern question. The Constitutionnel attaches a high degree of im portance to Lord Palmerston's note. It says : " This document is another step in the separation of the policy of Ee,gland from that of France. Where is now the time as hen the two Governments understood each other as -to the meaning of the integrity of the Ottoman empire ? This principle, which is a gua ran t ee of the equilibrium of Europe, had already changed its sense in the Treaty of July 15, but, even such as it was in that Treaty, it still gave to the Pacha the hereditary Government of Egypt and a portion of Syria. This :s no longer the case in the note of Lord Palmerston. Acco:d ing to him, the integrity and independence of the empire consist in making the Sultan absolute master over the Black Sea, as over the Bosphorus, and enabling him to dispose of Egypt as he may please—otherwise, accord ing to this view, the equilibrium of Europe would be in danger. What then would have become of this equi librium if the Pacha had accepted the treaty, and oh taked the hereditary Government of Egypt ? But Lord Palmerston does not consider it necessary to be logical in his notes. He cares only for one point straight to his object, and he does so viz., Th marchi ng snorea draw back the more he goes forward." The Courrier Francais says the note is not hostile but this that there was no longer any ()eel sia forx explains l a i w hostility, n ist as there was no longer any enemy t o contend Lori Palmerston knowis g, says the o e Cannier, that if the France of M. Thiers would have rAsisted, that of M. G uiz o t would not. " T he doeu msect," sa ys the Courrier , " assumes a tone of satisfied —' pride arid cold hotly, which in some parts is even im pertinent, and wh ich is as much as saying The French Government will •not declare war, do what we may."' The Commerce takes the same line of argument as the Courrier Francais. Its language is, perhaps, a lit tle more violent towards the English Cabinet, which it charges with a determination to degrade France, and TI-1 E SUN, LONBON, MONDA V, NOVEMBER 16, 1840. destroy her interests. This determination, it says, has b,!en ev(l.ont from 'he commencement, of the present peace. The Siecle contends that the power of Mehemet Ali is essential for the maintenance of the equilibrium of Europe, and saya it is the height of insolence in Lord Palmerston not to admit this truth. This journal con siders that the note of November 2 is an insult to the present Cabinet in France, as Lord Palmerston had been apprised that M. Guizot had adopted the note of M. Thiers. The National, whilst it attacks Lord Palmerston for what it considers to be his feelings against France, ad mits that, as far as argument goes, he has the advan tage over M. Tillers. He had, says the National, de clared himself, at the same time, the advocate of the Treaties of the Holy Alliance, and the protector of a man who is a living negation of these treaties. The Quolielienne merely observes upon the note of Lord Palmerston that everything now remains in the hands of the Divan, and that the despatch of Oct. 15 to Lord Ponsonby is all that could be done in favour of Mehemet Ali, and all that could be granted to the sup plications of M. Thiers. The Temps describes the note of Lord Palmerston as a cavalier production, and merely holds out a hope that England will intercede with the Sultan in favour of Mehemet Ali, if the other Powers consent, and that the Sultan will not oppose his Allies.

In this case Sir Edward Hales, the testator in the cause, in his lifetime granted annuities of 3001. to each of his two sisters, Madame de Zeuchier and Madame de Morlain court, and by his will he gave to the former an annuity of 90/ a year for her life, and to the latter an annuity of 300/ for her life. He also gave an annuity of 1,500/. a year to his wife for life ; and in the progress of the cause, it being desirable to ascertain whether the annuity of the idotv could be safely paid, it was referred to the Master to ascertain whether there were any charges on the devised estates prior to the widow's annuity. The Master reported there were the annuities of 3001. a year granted by the tes tator to his two Sisters. The confirmation of that report was opposed by the infant plaintiff, who presented a peti tion prayieg for a direction to the Master as to the annuities of 900/. if 500/. were given in satisfaction of the annui ties of 300/ secured to them upon the testator's estates; and it being alleged the circumstances were not fully in vestigated, a reference back to the Master was made to as certain all the annuities, and to state his opinion to the Ccurt. Under this order the Master reported that the two annuities of 3001. continued to be subsisting charges, not withstanding the bequest s o f t h e annuities by the will. In conducting the inquiry the Master received parole evidence of declarations made by the testator for the purpose of showing he intended the annuities given by the wilt to be in addition to the annuities previously granted. The pe tition on which judgment was now given, and which was argued last week, obj ec t e d t o t h e reception of some parts of the evidence which th e M aster h ad received, and to the conclusion at which h e h a d arr i ved. The MASTER of the Rotes said he had considered the case, and was of opinion that, independently of any parole evidence, the annuities given by the will could not be con sidered as given in satisfaction of the annuities secured by deed. The Master's report must therefore be confirmed, but there must be a further inquiry as to what was due in respect of all the annuities, and the Master must state the amount thereof in his general report. The COURT then took motions, and having gone through the Bar, proceeded with the cause paper. JOSLING V. KARR. The bill in this case was filed by Nathaniel Josling, praying that the defendant might be ordered to assign to the as executor of the will of Thomas Karr, two leasehold houses in Jeffrey's -street, Kentish Town, mentioned in the will, free from ineumbrances. The testator in his life-time purchased the two houses of the defendant from him, and paid the purchase money;to 800/., but no conveyance or consignment was executed. By iris will be bequeathed the property to his son for life, and after his death to his grandson, with limitation over; and the plaintiff had filed the bill as executor, in order, to obtain the assignment, so that he might be enabled to ex ecute the trusts of the will in case of the defendant's death. The defendant put in a demurrer from want of equity and war, t of parties, and upon this demurrer the case had come before this Court. Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Rogers supported the de murrer, and Mr. Kindersley and Mr. Simpson opposed it. The MASTER of the ROLLS thought the record was de fective for want of parties, and would therefore allow the demurrer on that ground, but would give the plaintiff leave to amend. With regard to the other point, he fcund it rather difficult to persuade himself that the executor under the peculiar circumstances of the case had no duty to perform, but in the absence of the parties interested, he could not decide that question. He hoped, however, the parties would endeavour to come to some arrangement. M:. KINDERSLEY said he had made a suggestion to his client, which he hoped both sides would act upon. It was a great pity to spend money upon a controversy of this description. The MASTER Of the ROLLS observed that it very fre quently happened the first congress of the parties was in open court, and they then mutuall.) understood each other for the first time. ATTORNEY GENERAL V. BRETTINGRAM. In this case the Court had decided that certain trans actions with the charity property could not stand, and the c,se stood over in order that the parties might if possible effect an arrangement among themselves. This has not yet been done; and upon the case being called on to-day, at the request of Mr. Kinclersley, it was further postponed to the last cause day in next term. THE LATE AWFUL GALE. SUNDERLAND.—SEVERAL LIVES LOST. FRIDAY, Nov. 13..--A dreadful storm, such as has not occurred since January, 1838, has been blowing upon the co❑st for the last twenty-four hours. The few days pre vious had in no degree warranted the severe weather that has since succeeded ; and a number of vessels, all heavily laden, had put to sea in the expectation of making their destined ports with fair winds. At about four o'clock this morning the v,ind sprang up from the south-east, which, by six, had freshened into a breeze ; and gave token of a desperate day, insomuch that every steam-boat in the harbour was put in requisition for immediate use, when the tide should admit of their endeavours being brought into operation with efficiency. Before nine o'clock the forenoon a perfect hurricane had set in, which con tinued without interaiission for several hours. Numbers crowded to the pier, whence news had spread through the town that many vessels were vainly endeavouring to make the harbour. Owing to the haziness of the weather, it was difficult to distinguish objects at any considerable distance. Within aOO yards of the shore the Syria (a beautiful vestal of 210 tons burden, which had only been launched on the previous day, belonging to the Messrs. Nicholson) had got jammed among the rocks, and a little farther ofl, another bark of similar dimensions, was buffeting the waves in a feeble effort to reach the pier. The crews bad been occupied in pumping the whole morning, and were now completely exhausted. By 12 o'clock the sea rose to a tremendous height, and dashed with such ve hemence teyvards the harbour, that the waves beat com pletely over the Northern Lighthouse. Several of the tug-steamers endeavoured to " put out," but were driven back again by the violence of the tempest and the height and fury of the waves. There was now a general cry out fur the life-boat, which had not made its appearance till very late, and which the good people of Sunderland have been for some time taught to consider capable of performing anything, since it has been furnished with Messrs. Dennett and Carte's rockets. It was manned with a daring and gallant crew, who, after a desperate struggle, and encountering many difficulties, succeeded in landing nine men (the %hole of the crew) from the Helen. Many attempts were then made to reach the Syria, which being a new vessel, was not considered in much danger, and was deemed ca pable of neathering the gale, at least for some hours longer. It was a melancholy sight to see the poor fel lows who composed her crew clinging to the ropes as each wave swept over them in its fury. An occasional shout, es the life-boat neared them, end was often driven away by the surge, proclaimed to those upon the beach the agonised feelings of the sufferers. One, more adventu rous than the rest, leaped overboard, but was never seen to rise. All now seemed to be confusion on board ; for the life-boat, having proved by several trials the inutility of Mr. Carte's invention, the men now almost gave up the attempt in despair, not, however, till they had fully showed the most intense eagerness, and strained every nerve to rescue their fellow-mariners from their perilous situation. The other versel had by this time gone to pieces ; and various parts of a schooner, which had been discerned in the offing at an earlier hour, were washed with it to the shore. In the schooner all hands had pe rished. After the life-boat had apparently matte its final effort for the preservation of the Syria, she dipped into one of the mountainous waves which were momentarily overwhelming her, and when she righted not a soul was to be seen aboard—the ill-fated crew having all keen washed off. In a short time, however, the life-boat succeeding in bringing three of the crew to land, the remaining four having met a watery grave. Many of those on the beach now voluntarily offered to man the boat again ; among the rest, one of the gallant officers of the sbth, quartered here, insisted upon another trial, proffering to be one of the number himself ; but it was deemed useless to make the at tempt. The master of the Syria, Captain llinniken, was among the number of the drowned. One of the men belonging to a light-boat was washed overboard by a wave, and l ost , notw i thstanding his com panions did their utmost to save him. ii:S morning the shore was strewed with remnants of: vtirceks. No account Las reached of the Hendon ; and it almost amounts to certainty that the' Durham Packet is lost with all hands. The storm has in some degree, but far from entirely, abated. Rumours are hourly its circulation of boats lost ; and during the last two tides about forty vessels have been towed into the harbour. The accounts from Shields and Newcastle are most nppalling, and at Tyncmouth, it is said, the loss of life far exceeds ours. The bodies of those washed off t h e Syria have been all found ; and the vessel itself is in a fair way of being saved from going to pieces. The water in the river last tide was eleven feet higher than usual. The wind has veered to the N. E., and the sea is still rough with a heavy swell and a thick mist hangs over it. SATURDAY EVENING, SIX o'Ct.ocK.—The sea still runs high, and it is considered that no steamer could live among the breakers that lock up the harbour. A number of vessclg arc " lying off" at anchor, end sign a l s are up t 9 prohibit them from attempting to make the river. The Syria has been thrown up far upon the be.ch ; and the whole line of shore above and below the piers is strewed with coals. Many old seamen say we are not yet done with the gale, for the wind continues very changeable. THE LATE GALE, SHIPWRECKS, AND LOSS OF LIFE ON THE SUSSEX COAST. (From the Sussex Advertiser of to-day.) The late tremendous g :lc has strewed our coast with wrecks, involving, in one instance, we regret to say, the loss of several lives. The violence of the wind, especially on Friday, was extierne, the sea ran mountains high ; and in tue absence of an efficient harbour of refuge, it is ouiy wonderful that more disasters have not occurred. However, the pre-eminent natural facilities which we have always contended that Nee:haven possesses, for the forma tion there of a first-rate harbour for the preservation of life and property, have been practically made manifest by the fact (described b e l ow ) t h at , d ur i ng t h e greatest furs of the storm, no less than three vessels were, by the aid of courage and g oo d seamans hi p, brought safely into the river Ouse. NVe subjoin accounts, from different parts of the coast, of the storm and its effects : NEWHAVEN, Nov. 13.—Teiterric Gaaa.—Thismorning we were visited with a terrific gale of wind, the sea run ning mountains high, and the waves dashing over the piers. About noun several vessels were seen off the far hour, three of which were making towards it. About one o'clock, two of the vessels (the Active, Hinchings, and the Brisk, Bell), came into the harbour in gallant style; but the last, a brig, lurched too much to the eastward, and it seamed nothing could prevent her getting at the back of the east pier. Destruction to the unfortunate vessel and her crew appeared inevitable ; and the spectators watched the scene with trembling anxiety. But a cool head and a steady hand were on board that ship, for when the poser of the wind and waves would have hurried her on the beach, a skilful manoeuvre broached her to windward in a masterly manner, and brought her safely into harbour. She proved to be the i\iichelgrove, Howard, of Chichester. We are sorry to hear three vessels loaded with coals, are on shore between this port and Brighton, and we fear will ha total wrecks. No lives are lost. We understand the crew of the vessel ashore at Portobello, owe their preser. vation to the exertions of the preventive of that and the Beatshide station, and the favour of an all-wise Providence. WORTIIING.—On Saturday morning, about one a.m. the crew of the Star, of London, came on shore at our beech, in a long boat. The Star of 120 tons burthen, bound for Malta, Corfu, and Zante, sailed from London on Wednesday week, having on board a general cargo, consisting chiefly of iron gas and water pipes, of wh ic h there were 94 tons, consigned to Corfu, 35 tons of gun powder, belonging to Gosernmeet, consigned to Malta, end a quantity of wine and porter. On the eight of Sa turday week she entered the Downs, where she lay at anchor unji last Wednesday night, when she left in com- Leahy with upwards of 100 sail, and proceeded on her voy ege, the wind blowing N.N. E. At nine p.m. on Friday, sue was off the Owers, which is a floating beacon at the western part of Sussex, where she struck and went down almost directly, during a heavy gale from the W. S. \V. Enough canvass could not be carried to keep her at sea, the wind blowing so violently. The jolly boat was stove in and knocked to pieces by the shipment of a heavy sea after the vessel struck. 'lhe long boat was immediately got out, into which all hands placed themselves—a poor little boy was in his hammock asleep at the time of the wreck, and was taken cut of his berth and placed in the boat naked as he was. Ile was of course covered with something, but in his re moval his arm was somewhat injured. Using their best judgment, and evoking their best courage, the crew sat off in their little open boat, on a furious sea, and on a des perate undertaking, namely, that of attempting safely to gain the shore without sail, or mast, or compass, steering before the wind and tide. They did not perceive the land for some time, neither did they know at last the place to which they were directing their course to run in at, At one o'clock sin Friday morning, as we have said, they ar rived hero safe and sound, excepting the bruises which the lad bad received. The vessel and cargo were insured. EASTBOURNE, Nov. 14.—This place has been visited by awful winds, and the :tides have run tremendously high, washing over the parade and filling the cellars of some houses. No material damage being done except to the oldest lodging-house of this place celebrated by the name of the "round house," where the late lamented Duke of Kent spent some of his juvenile days. So far on shore we have fared tolerably well, but it is my painful task to inform yeu that two brigs have been wrecked—one to the eastward and one to the westward of the town. The former was coal laden, from Newcastle to Southampton, and came ashore on Friday night, the crew took to the rigging, and awaited the death which must have been their fate, bad it not been for the humanity and daringintre pidity of one of our fishermen, who, amidst the raging of the storm and the cheers of his comrades dashed through the breakers at the peril of his life, and conveyed a rope to the vessel, by means of which, I am happy to state, all hands were safely landed. The name of the fisherman who has the enviable satisfaction of having performed this act of genuine nobility is George Hide. Every possible at tention was paid to the shipwrecked crew. I regret to state that the other vessel to westward became a complete wreck. Not ease was saved, so entirely was every chance of hu man aid cut off. The corpses of the Captain and two men have been washed on shore, also a cow, but no traces have yet beets discovered which may lead to the know ledge of what vessel she was. It is feared much mischief may be calculated on. Many sail arc now passing up Channel, among them a large ship with loss of foremast. Rya, Nov. 14.—This morning a dismasted brig or barque, was observed passing through the bay to the east ward. ROTTINGDEAN,— About six o'clock on Friday evening, 1 the schooner Sir Ch ar l e s Keith, from Leith to Dartmouth, laden with cools, came a shore to the westward of this place. A party arr i ve d f ro m Brighton with Capt. Manby's apparatus, with t h e ass i s tance of which the officers and men of the Preventive service, and the fishermen were using the most untiring endeavours to rescue the crew ' who hung in the rigging, exposed to the fury of the wind, ' rain and sea, for no less than twelve hours, the efforts of the people on shore during that time having been un. Isuccessful, in conse quence o f t h e s hi p h av i ng struck at low water, and therefore at a great distance from the shore. At six on Saturday morning, by means of one of Captain Menby's rockets, a rope was thrown across the vessel, and all hands were enabled to get on shore. The Rev. J. S. M. Anderson was most active in superin tending and directing Manby's apparatus, and by encou raging by words and deeds the men engaged in assisting tho shipwrecked crew. Two boys were immediately taken to the county Hospital —so much injured by cold, fright, and the dashing of the waves over them for twelve hours, that it is feared their minds will be effected. Another vessel, a brig, went on shore at Portobello, the crew, eight in number, were also happily saved. A brig was seen on Friday night off Worthing, dis masted and drifting; and it is reported that another foun dered off Brighton. LEwss.—We have experienced a succosidon of stormy weather since our last ; at intervals heavy rains have fallen, and the fresh:_.s thereby occasioned having been met by the spring tides, the water in our river has been much swollen, and sonic of the adjacent low lands par tially inundated. QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) ( Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF WILTSHIRE. Sir F. PoLLocx appeared to show cause why the rule for a certiorari to bring up the order of certain Justices of Wiltsb;rc should not be made absolute. The proceedings originated in a rule which had been made upon the pa rish of Bradford, which had been appealed from. The sessions quashed the rate,and directed that th costs of the ap pellants, amounting to 871 Gs., and the costs of the Church wardens, amounting to 1031., in defending the appeal should be paid. When the accounts came before the auditor he had refused to allow them. The parish officers then en deavoured to pass the accounts before t .vo justices, who did pass them, and that decision was appealed from to the Justices at Quarter Sessions, who made an order quashing the decision of the two Justices. The Learned Counsel teas proceeding to state his objections to the rule at some length, when The Court said they must make the rule for the cer tiorari absolute ; and when the return was made they would then hear the Learned Counsel's objections. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) THE QUEEN V. GREGORY. In this case Mr. Miller had obtained a rule to show cause why the defendant in this case, who is at present in Northampton gaol, charged with shooting at Thomas Greenwood. should not bo admitted to bail. It appeared from the -affidavits in tho case, that the prisoner is a sub stantial farmer and publican, living at Broukhton. in Northamptonshire. On the night when the alleged oc currence took place, the prisoner had come from a fair in a state of intoxication, and had on coming to his stable met with his son-in-law, named Keyston, with whom he had a quarrel and a scuffle ; the prisoner after wards went into the house, and Greenwood, the wounded man passing near the window kept calling out " Master, master," in order, as be stated, that Gregory might know it was him and not Keyston ; he had not proceeded above ten yards before he received a charge of small shot in his back, and he stated in his affidavit that he had no doubt the gun was discharged from the bar window. The Magis trates had committed him to take his trial at the Quarter Sessions, but as in the committment the words "with in tent to murder" were made use 0f, . . the Court.of Quarter Sessions held that they had no jurisdiction, and remanded him to the next assize s ; under these circumstances the application was made to the Court to admit the defendant to bail. Air. WADDINOTON showed cause against the rule, and contended that this was an attempt to set aside the solemn decision of the Court of Quarter Sessions, and that the evi dence was such that the prisoner ought not to be admitted to bail. Mr. MILLER argued in support of the rule that the Quarter Session had refused to interfere, under a mistaken notion that they had no jurisdiction, and contended that the evidence, so far from showing that Gregory was the party who had discharged the gun, went to prove that it was some other person, and rendered it doubtful if the gun was discharged from the window at all. The Learned Coun sel contended that as the Earl of Cardigan had been admit ted to bail in a case of much less doubt, so this defendant ought to be liberated on giving good bail. Mr. Justice PATTESON, in giving judgment, commented strongly upon the conduct of the committing Ma g i strates in admitting Gregory's wife as a witness against him, and aid he thought there was sufficient doubt in the case to authorise him in admitting the man to bail, himself in 1001 , and four sureties in 25/. each. Mr. WADDINGTON--:II;;; sensible man had been pre sent, to have put one or two questions to Keysten and Greenwood, the matter would have been put at rest. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Very probab l y. —Rule absolute. EXCHEQUER COURT--THIS DAY (Sittings in Banco.) The Ccurt was occupied the whole of the morning with oases in the Special Paper, the ar g um ents in whi c h were purely technical, and of no public interest. seven and eight o'clock on Sunday nigh t an application A CHILD LOCKED IN A CHU was made at the Kenaington poe station, by a Mr. lI CIL--Between g a Soo o IS, Dunford, printer, of Notting-hill, reapectin fh• about seven years of age; who had been sent to Kensington I Church about three o'clock in the afternoon, and had not then returned ; and being an intelligent child it was , feared that either some accident h a d happened to~him, him, or that he had fallen asleeand p during th e afternoon service, and had been locked in; as the Church st an d s b ack from the street about 30 or 40 yards, there was little probability of his making himself heard at that distance when he awoke. The father on applyi n _ 6 to the sexton for the keys was directed to the beadle and pew-opener, neither of whom were at home, and after leaving a message de ing that the Church might be searched that night, he went away to make inquiries in another direction. Some time after this some boys, who were passing down Church street,had their attention attracted to a noise which ap peared to them to come from one of the vaults under the Church : on listening they again heard the voice, and a knocking at the Church door, s havingA mob immediately col lected, more courage than the ted over the railings of the churchyard, while the son of the pew-opener ran for the keys of the Church. the Church eot .; " I /top ae hos:hulirrtstt i ea t r i ft m eel e rl ~, tw t h o ew t C b ashlugi br r ce e hr a a t twe joy das.

The hurricane that raged in the metropolis and its vi cinity on Friday night and Saturday morning has occa sioned the destruction of property to a vast amount among the shipping and smaller craft on the river. Between London-bridge and Blackwell -reach a number of ships broke adrift from their moorings, and one large vessel which Las recently arrived in the river from Quebec, with a cargo of timber, ran ashore off Deptford. She has since been got off, her keel having sustained injuries so serious that there were upwards of four feet of water in her hold. The da mage done to the masts and rigging of ships in the pool is immense. On Friday and Saturday portions of spars and rigging were blowing about in all directions. Both above and below bridge a great number of barges, lighters, and other craft were Funk. A barge called the Shannon, be longing to Mr. George Briant, a lighterman at Wapping, was sunk off the Torrington Arms, at Lireehouse. The Shannon was laden with a quantity of iron retorts for some gasworks. Mr. Briant, who was navigating his barge at the time, had a very narrow escape from drowning, and only saved himself by being an expert swimmer. Near the same spot, a barge laden with wheat, belonging to Mr. Ludas, the corn lighterman, of Ilorsleydown, went down the man in charge of her was immersed in the water, and, not being able to swim, lie was about to sink for the last time, when he was picked up by a fishing boat. A lime-barge, belonging to Mr. Lee, of Roches ter, had her masts and sails completely blown away in Blackwell reach, and had a very narrow escape of swamp ing. Above bridge Mr. Lucas, the coal-merchant, at Mil bank, had three barges heavily laden with coals sunk. A barge, the property of ,Mr. Robert Barchard, of Lambeth, went down opposite tho King's Arms public-house, at Lambeth. She was laden with thirty-five toes of coals, and a man named Jones, who had charge of her, was nearly drowned. Indeed accidents of the above description oc curred in all parts of the river. Although there were many narrow escapes, no lives were lost. The steamers due on Friday and Saturday were delayed considerably, and some of them had not arrived last night. ( From a Windsor Correspondent.) For some time before the departure of the Queen and Prince Albert from Windsor Castle on Friday, the wind blew a perfect hurricane. Not more than three minutes previously to the Royal cortege leaving the Castle a circumstance occurred which induced the believers in omens in the Royal town of Wiedser to indulge in cer tain extraordinary prognostications and speculations. The Royal standard which then floated on the turret of the Round Tower, was suddenly, by the vioieece of the wind, torn completely in twain, the severed half being carried by the force of the current sonic hundreds of yards over the Castle, and deposited beyond the slopes on the north side. The wind had blown " great guns" for some days previously, and too large rents were observed across the centre when the flag was hoisted at sunrise on the morning. The Royal standard, which ap pears somewhat diminutive when viewed from the terraces of the Castle, is fourteen yards in length, and eght in breadth ; its cost was 2001. The extreme length of the flag-staff is upwards of seventy-three feet, and the eleea tion of the Reund Tower to the top of the flag-pole is three hundred feet. The first stone of the new flag-tower was laid by Prince George of Cumberland, assisted by his late Majesty, then Duke of Clarence, en the 12th of Au gust, 1823. It was finished for the reception of the flag staff November 30, 1830, which was fixed in the following February, more than fifty feet above its former elevation. AWFUL SACRIFICE OF HUMAN LIFE AND PROPERTY AT SEA. Intelligence was received late on Saturday evenino. at Lloyd's of the l o ss o f t h ree vesse l s i n the gale, attended with frightful sacrifice of life. It appears from the par ticulars received that the gale commenced about eleven o'clock on Thursday night, and continued the whole of Friday without the slightest abatement, from S. S. W. Respecting the Collins, the report of whose wruA we copied on Saturday from the North Devon Journal, the following additional particulars are supplied :---The vessel was put about to sea, and was scudding before the wind, when a violent sea struck her ou the starboard quarter, carried away her bulwarks, and swept everything off the deck. She had scarcely recovered the shock, when an other sea, more violent than the first, struck her, which unshipped the rudder and did considerable damage. The crew having by this time lost all management of the vessel., she was left to the mercy of the waves, and in about twer:ty minute; after she drove on to the rocks under Byggy Point (on immense cliff ), where she subsequently became a wreck, and went to pieces. The Coast Guard soon arrived on the sands near the spot, and, by discharging blue lights, attracted the attention of others, who quickly came to their assistance. The crew, on the vessel, strik. ing, took to the rigging, and they could be seen by the peo ple on the sands supplicating help, but unfortnnatcly it was not is human power to save them, owing to the rooks being imeecssible. The whole of the poor fellows perished, ex cept two seamen, who were washed ashore about ten o'clock in the morning, and were found almost dead from exposure and exhaustion. The vessel broke up at about six o'clock, and during m the whole morning fragments of the wreck w ere was h e ashore and the rocks were covered with the cargo. One body was washed ashore at daybreak. There arc eight lost. About the same hour on Friday morning the sloop Widgeon, of Berwick, laden with a valuable cargo, v:as totally lost near Whitby, and the crew drowned. sec is valued at 1,5001 , and is insured. About twelve th,e same day, at the time the hurricane appeared at its highest the Susan, of North Shields (a collier), On. tier voyage fiom London to Shields, was capsized off 'Walton, near Harwich, and sunk. Four of the crew pe.'islied, the others saved themselves by the vessel's boat. The vessel will be c(me a total wreck. In addition to the al ore the following has been re ce ved :—The Mary (a collier), Captain Scott, from Shields, sunk off Lowestoffe on Thursday night, having been driven en the sands by the gale. Her crew saved. A large vessel (name unknown) foundered off the same place on Friday morning, and all on board perished.; and about the same time, off Southwold, the Ant, a stoup laden with wheat, from Maldon, was wrecked; and a cod lier belonging to Newcastle was lost about an hour aft or near the same spot; four of the crew were drowned. (Abridged from the Hampshire Telegraph.) Pots FSMOUTH. —Yesterday we had here a severe gab I of rind, accompanied by a rise of tide, higher than has b een known for thirty-eight years, by at least an inch arid a half, as recorded by an inhabitant of Point, who not :hes his door-post as an unerring proof. Awful as it was, the day was line, so that expected mischief could be guarded against, and the wind lulled very considerably at sunset. As a proof of the security of our roadstead, every vessel held on well, and we hear of no loss in anchors and caldea. The schooner Pomona, of Southampton, with a geo,eral cargo, from London, redo out the gale all day, driving a little, but at eight in the evening (whether she parted or not we are not aware) she drifted on Southsea Beach, and bilged ; her cargo is, of coryrse, much damaged, and has been landed. Early in the triorn ing a vessel which bad just delivered a cargo of t.tone, at Ilaslar beach, drove on what she had just thrown, over board, and was beaten entirely into very small fragmesits in both cases no lives were lost. The men of war rwie out most gallantly, but the Brittannia pitched less th,an the Howe. A large tract of country round Stokes Lay, and near the Portsmouth, Langstone, and Melte star harbours, was inundated, but we have not heard of any loss excepting at Stokes Bay, where twenty-sir s'eep were drowned, and a man, uamcd Vinsom, tos'; his life in endeavouring to save them. The Farlin gton Marshes are overflowed, and for some days the supply of fresh water to Portsea island will be irregu lar. Though the Point is much exposed, yet little com parative damage was done. The Pier itself stood well, but that a small vessel drove through the centre an, 3 in jured some of the uprights ; but as her mast was ca,weed way, the platform remained unhurt. No damag e oe urred to any of the men-of -war in the harbour ; and though the water in some parts flowed over the jetties, we have heard of no loss. The landing jetties at tF.a old and new Sallyport are both carried away, but will i some diately be replaced. We should like much informal ion on the subject of the tides in this locality ; we are toki, that in a gale in 1816 the tide rose five-and-a-half inches higher than it had ever then been blown to have: risen ; in 16'4, it was an inch-and.a-quarter still higher ; and yesterday it was one-and.sia-tentEs of an inch high :r than any former record. (From the Devonpol t Independent.) The tides have been unusually high, particularly on Friday morning, when the houses in the lower part, o f Plymouth were flooded, as well as all the neighbourh nod of the ~ater side in Stonehouse and Devonport, R ich mond Walk, Aloriee Town, &c. There has not 1 nee much injury done to vessels in the port, notwithstan ding the weather has been so tempestuous ; several ve: jec i a , however, have put in more or less distressed.

On Tuesday morning; last, the brig Triton, of Cardigan, Cart, Rees, arrived that port from Quebec: wi th a cargo _EVEN).

We have been favomed with extracts from Capt. Crowder's log book, relative to the distressing circumstances, which we lay Le.ore our re .ders Saturday, 3d October, 1340. —At A.M., weighed anchor from the river Mersey, the wind then light from the N E , in tow of the steamer Man chester : had fine weather until clear of the land. Nothing material occurred until the morning of Sunday, the 18th of Oct&ner. At 2 A.M , then blowing very hard, wore ship to the S. W., found she had sprung a leak, and was fast gainin g on th e pumps . Th e s hi p t h en lying very low, Ive s cut away the main topgallant mast arm yard; towards evening, found the water still gaining on the pumps, cu t away the mizm-inast, the ship then nearly on her beam e n d s , a ll h an d s at t h e pumps. Early on the :norning of the 19th, thought prurient to heave over board the larboard chain cal.le, and boweranchor, in hopes of casing the ship, but all to no avail. At 9, A.M., saw a brig steering, to the eastward, hoisted a signal of distress, w hen the 1 - r:g rouadcd to, under cur lee, our ship then quite unmanageable; hoisted out long-boat, and scant four h an d s on b oar d , to acquaintthe captain of the brig the st a t e we were i n ; s hO rt l y a f ter, th e boat ans dropped fron t t h e b r i g a l ongs id e o f t h e s h ip, when nin.: tact more jumped into her, and in getting clear of the ship the boat swamped, four men were drowned, and the boat lost. The jollv.boat was then got out, and three m en went towards the brig, which had then hoisted her light, and came under our lee ; lay bs, and eased th e b oat aloagside the ship, when Captai n Elder's son, an d seven more gut in, and reached the brig in safety ; at th at t i me there .were seven souls still on bo;.rd the ship. A t 7, A.M., again the brig dropped a boat alongside the ship, when six men more got into the boat, and in leaving the ship, the boat swamped, and the chief mate, second mate, and three seamen, were drowned, and boat lost; one seaman was saved by a rope from the ship, by which he got on board of her again. The Captain of the brig, not thinking it prudent to try any wore that night, lay by until morning, trusting in God fur better weather. At daylight, on the 201 h, more modnrate, the brig hoisted out one of her boats (the ship's beats all lest, as was almost all the brig's spare lines and running rigging." Four men went in the boat front. the brig, and tool:, from the wreck Captain Crowder and another seamen, being the only two left on board the wreck. Again the boat returned to the wreck, to try for some provisions, but finding the ship sinking fast, returned without any, and at 8, 45, A.M., the ship went dawn, Tuesday, October, 20, 1640."—Capt. Crowder has made a public as..nowledgement on behalf of himself and crew, to Captain Rees, of the Triton, and his manly cress, for their intrepid exertions in swing their lives, and for their great kindness to them when on board the Triton. Wu arc ar.Ty that we have not room to insert it. The following is a list of the crew save;:—Win.

Captain Crowder and his crew embarked yes terday morning, (Thursday), on board the smack Breeze, Captain Bowen, fur Liverpool. Oliver Lloyd, Esq., ma hose property the I.3.eeze is, directed the Captain to give them a 'passage free, and to provide them with every comfort duting the voyage. This morning, five large vessels were towed up the river into the Pool by steamers, wit'n j valuable cargoes. fur the Lond, , ii and St. Katherine's Docks, being totally dis masted and otherwise considerably damaged by the tre mendous hurricane on Friday last. Oue of the veseis lest two land the other four of their crews, by being washed over - bow 0. A large portion of tkcir cargoes is also considerably damaged. Yesterday (Fr:day) S ,uthainptoa was Visited by ono of the most terrific: gales that have occurred for many years. Indeed, the only storm which has exceeded it in violence, within the nieniury of the more elderly in habitants, was that of the 23d of November, 1524, in which, it will he remembered Captain Lanham fell a victim to its fury. The gale of 1836 was attended with violence of ao ordinary char.,cter, but that of yesterday was ia many respects worse. Although we had had ind;.eations of the continr , storm for several days previous, and more particularly in the preceding high!, I*. yids not until about ten or eleven in the morn ing- that gave signs of its presence. At 'that - time it began to blow hard, and increased witY4 ungovernable fury until between two and throe, when the gala may be said to have been at its height. in the town itscli its effects we7e visible from the fall of tiles, chiinney-pots, and other elevated ::,ate rials usual in such cases ; but as we nearod the beach, every yard we advanced opened to us additional proofs of its devastation. Foremost in this serious scene were the docks. The work which it had taken time, capital, and labour, to achieve, was in a few brief hours trans formed into a chaotic mass of irrupted banks and float ing timber. The Leviathan barrier which seemingly bade defiance to the sturdy clement rapidly gave way beneath its overpowering force, and the interior wos in undated to a great extent. The Ma-ish and glebe lands were speedily deluged, and the '.vinti and water combined operated with such disastrous effect cn the exterior of the Railway Ter minus, that the wall on the east side was broken down to 0,,e extent of GO or 70 feet. The approaches to the i ;tr,ilway for pedestrians were totally impassable, and for the most part also for vehicles. The floors of the houses, too, in the neighbourhood were in many places covered with Water to a considerable depth. 'The Floating Bridge across the Itchen had managed to cross the water, although with great dif f iculty, during part of the day. In the afternoon two vessels drifted, and becoming entangled in the chains of the bridge, stopped her progress. The Portsmouth mail, which conveys the bags to that place on their arrival from London by the Railway, and whose route is be the Floating Bridge, was compelled to go round lay -Nor tham Bridge in order to reach her destination. Numbers of the watermen's boats and other small craft, which are usually riding in safety but a short distance from the wharf, were speedily turned keel uppermost. Tne horse-boats, too, used to convey horses, cattle, carriages, Ste., to different parts, shared a like fate. Some of these being the principal source of livelihood to many of the poorer watermen, we fear the misfortune will be severely felt. - - Fortunately there were but few vessels lying along. side the Quay and Wharf, or the damage might have been much more seriuus. The Masflower, laden with tiniliQr and tar, lying- just off the Sun Hotel, was knocked about for some time ; but at length she cap sized, and the captain escaped with much difficulty. It is expected she will right again, without much loss. The " Bee," of Cowes ; the " George," of Chiches ter ; the " William and Henry," of Portsmouth ; and the " Duke of Gloucester," Poole and Southampton Packet ; wise all lying by the wharf side, and were in hum:tient danger of being knocked to pieces. By skil ul management, however, one or two of them got hit o open water, and thereby escaped ; the others were more or less injured loy heating against the wharf Fall. The worst affair was that of the " Nimrod," of Cowes, laden with currants, raisins, and a small quantity of cheese, consigned to Mr. Bass, of Shoraain. She had been lying at some distance off, but had broken from her moorings, and, drifting to the wall, was continually being driven on it with a violence which seriously da maged her. The " Ajax," of Guernsey, was lyin; very near her, and once drifted foul of her, owing to which part of her stern was damaged ; but luckily she managed to keep sufficiently clear to prevent further damage, The Pier sustained no injury worth noticing, its fortunate escape may be attributed in a great measure to the circumstance of the wind having been a-head of it. Had it been a side wind the tri:sellef would have been very great. The steamers prudently got out into open water, where they remained and rode the gale harmless. Se veral yachts which had been laid up for the winter were more or less damaged, some having drifted from their moorings. A vessel uadergoing repair at Mr. Ransom's, at Cross-house, was materially damaged. At the West Quay, also, a vast amount of damage was done. Boat-houses, stables, and other buildings, shared the common fate ; and the gardens in that loca lity were literally swamped, scarcely a vestige of many of them being left. Here, too, several boats, the owners of which arc poor but industrious watermen, were driven ashore and many of them very seriously damaged.
