LIVERPOOL, TOIXDAY.

Yesterday a telegram was received in Liverpool
from Admiral litany, to the effect the* dangerous winds
might be expected frorn tie southward,. but the weather
until the evening was est more than onileanhy boisterous.
In the evening, however, a stiff breeze sprang ap, and pa-
dually increasing it bad almost attained the form of a gale
by twelve o'clock, sod every precaution was thee taken to
pretreat casualties amongst the shipping. ffortneately this
wee so, for the wind still Increased, and by three o'clock
this morning the preseure, ss indicated at **Observatory,
was 3011*. to the square inch (the highest possum in-
dicated). The gale continued with noshing fury, and
was at its maximum force from two- o'hisek in the
morning until 12 o'clock at nom. The wind screstently
shifted. From nos to half-peat three it was blowing
from the W.S.W., from half-past three &filo& to half-pan
eight o'clock from the W.N.W., and from belt-put eight
o'clock until twelve doe west. The cellar* of the various
dock warehouses were flooded by the tido. 14tille broke over
the dock quays., and a considerable amount of property
was destroyed. Fortunately no serious accident happened
to the ships moored in the river, a few only dieggiog their
anchors. The quays sod landing stages were thronged by
people who came to nee the tide, and several got a good
docking for their pans. The small Lading siege Gould
only be reached through a shower of spray sad by wading
ankle-deep io water, and ferry passengers hired cabs to run
the gauntlet. Others, however, who could not afford
the cab luxury, contented themselves with the
cheaper, though lose comfortatie, mode of transit
on sailors' back,. It was high tide shoot a quarter
to 12, when the seen, upon the river was very tine, the
white-crested wane reminding the speataton of • regular

the afternoon that the embankment as the Wirral coast, .
which is the only protection of the low peuinsala behind it
from the ravages of the era, had Men seriously damaged, .
and that the low lands were inundated. A large barque is.
reported on shore at Holyhead and two vessels outside the.
port of Liverpool. The lifeboats were at ogee despatched.
to the aseistanee of the latter. %be works at the new hat..
key at the north end of the town have been considerabiy
damaged, and the excavations fined with water. The noith
docks, which are very much exposed, sustained • good dial.
of injury, partly from the weather sod partly from the action
of the water and heavy floating bodies whisk were waded
against their sides. Along the ether portal* of the Leer..
pool coast line severe damage was done to the walls.sod
buildings adjoining the water_ At Watedeo • large lee of
fencing has been Imbed away, and the needs in the mash-
bourbood completely inundated. The West news from the
two ship. ashore outside left one of Utensils a very beiiposi.
tion, while the other had needed to offf the bank, end was
drifting in the Rock Channel, with all her mils splitto rib-
bons. A signal of distress has just (4 p.m) bees eabibmod
from the Lemons Lighthouse. Its object is not yet
known. Upwards of a kindred acres of land hare been
inundated by the breakage in the 7..easome embankment.
The vessel on shore at Holyhead is the Medea, from the
Carneroons. In the mornings sailor lielooging to tie steam.
ship Italian, lying ie the river, fell overboard, and was
drowned befr,re assistance could be rendered. At interne
during the day the streets were drawled by fines gusts of
rain and se ow, and the spray from the river reached some
hundred* of yards up the tows. The high spire of SL
George's Church having long bees considered onside, crowds
of tent, .tors were gathered round it during the day, con-
stantly expecting it to give way. At the despatch of oar
parcel the gale appeared to be increasing.
