DAMAGE DONE BY THE GALE,

At Hartford stacks of hay and trees were blown down,
obstructing the passing of vehicles, thereby causing
great inconvenience to the occupant 4, who were obliged
in many instances to go a round of about three miles.
In Hamilton-square, Birkenhead, Shaw-street,
Everton, and along the Aigburth-road, several trees
were completely broken by the force of the wind.
The bridge at Tranmere was blown down in the coarse
of the morning, which obliged visitors to Tranmere to
go round the road for a considerable time. One of the
travelling theatres at the wakes was also blown to
pieces.

It was on the river, however, that the gale was felt in
its full force. Several of the vesscls dragged their
anchors. Four ships were driven close to the small
Landing-stage. The first of these was the Six Sisters,
of Copenhagen, which, by means of a hawser from the
stage, was brought to the southward, and was finally run
ashore at Bromborough. OF the other three vessels
the schooner Content was the southernmost; her cables
got jammed in the hawse pipe, and could veer no more.
As the vessels began to swing to the ebb tide the stern
of the Young Sam came in contact with the bowsprit of
the Content., and carried it away. In a few
minutes after the foremast fell, the starboard quarter
of the Young Sam caught the stage, and carried away
several staunchions and mooring posts. The Young Sam
afterwards dropped alongside, and was made fast in that
position, being thus kept from doing further damage.
The schooner Eliza (another of the four) got clear, and
ran in for George's Basin. At the height of the gale a
Runcorn flat sunk, to the north of the great landing-
stage. Also, an African barque foundered off Tranmere,
but it is believed that all the crew were saved.
The slip Rockaway, Am New York, ran Mal on tlic

orth landing-stage, and carried away part of her
stern; she was afterwards freed from the stage, and
anchored off Egremont
A flat has sunk under the North Landing-stage. The
Rockaway, for New York, carried away part of her
quarter by collision with the North Landing-stage.
The J. L. Hale, from St. John, N. 8., drove against
Prince's Pier, slightly damaging herself, and got into
the basin for safety..
The West Point, from New Orleans, drove against
the Victoria wall, broke the crane, and considerably
damaged herself.
The J. M. Wood, from New Orleans, drove against
the Waterloo wall, and damaged herself and rho wall.
The barque Seaflower, for Africa, with salt, was
fouled by another vessel, and cut down to the water's
edge and sank. The schooner Rose had both masts car-
ried away. The Jos. Steele, for Calcutta, lost bowsprit,
supposed by collision.

The schooner King William IV., of Carnarvon, with
slates, was picked up derelict this morning off the north
docks. She had three feet of water above the cabin
floor, and has been placed in George's Dock Basin, by
Thomas Evans, Kemyel Cottage, New Brighton, boat-
man.

A sternbdard. about four feet long, with " Dundalk"
in yellow letters on blue ground, was driven up 'he river
this afternoon.

Notwithstanding the -great violence of the storm,
which has not been equalied in Liverpool for a consi-
derable time, we have much pleasure in stating that, up
to the prosent time, we have not heard of any accident
to life or limb.
