THE LATE GALES.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.
Several shipping casualties occurred during the
heavy gale on Tuesday night. About llo'clock the Shamrock
put in at Belfast. She is a steamer of upwards of 300 tons,
plying between Sligo and Liverpool. She left Sligo for Liver-
pool on Monday between 3 and 4 o'clock, and had been
heating about since then. She bad a large number of pas-
sengers, a general cargo, and cattle on board. The steamer
experienced the full severity of the storm. The deck pas-
sengers were in a deplorable state when landed, as they had
suffered severely. One man, named Debar, was standing
on deck with his wife and two ;children, when the
cowl shipped a heavy sea. The children were dashed
from beside their parents, and in a short time after, when
their bodice were found, they were quite lifeless. In
another heavy sea a sailor, named James Platt, got his leg
broken. The wheel, the house on deck, and several of the
boat' were carried away. A number of pigs on board also
died.

At Cork, at half-pest Bon Tuesday morning, the Sabrina
got eground on the bank opposite Horse Head. She left Cork
for Bristol early in the morning, and steamed down the river
to Passage, when all the vessels of the Steamship Company
make a short stay to take in passengers. Owing to the
violence of the gale then blowing, she could not come
alongside the hulk at once, and, in order to reach the quay
without accident, Captain Entirely thought it better to run
down to Moulntown•bay, turn them and steam up
slowly. This was accomplished in safety, and the pas•
censers having been taken on board, the steamer ran up
to Horse Head for the purpose of wearing round and
proceeding on the voyage across. In turning she was caught
by the wind, which was blowing from N.N. W., and was
driven on the bank. The tide was about half ebb at the
time, but as she became firmly fixed in the soft mud of the
bank there was no danger whatever of her healing over at
low water. It is expected that she will be able to steam off
at the flow of the tide.

About 3 the same morning, while beating for the harbour,
the brigantine Anne, belonging to Gibraltar with Indian
corn, from Saffi, struck on Canovan's Point, to the south
side of Camden Fort. The tugs William Wallace and Robert
Bruce were despatched to her assistance, but op to a late
hour yesterday evening there was no account as to whe.
ther they succeeded or not. The previous day an Italian
hoque, the Calcutta, with corn, from Salina, in endeavour.
ing to make for the harbour, went ashore to the west of it,
and soon became a total wreck, the crew having to abandon
her the same day. Measures were at once taken to save as
much of the cargo as possible, and yesterday efforts were
m►de to cut ►way the masts.

The weather has been very severe on the coast
of Dorset for the last few days, On Tuesday a number of
naval cadets returning from their Christmas holidays at-
tempted to get on board her Majesty's ship Britannia, lying
off Portland, in a steam tug from Weymouth, but when she
was within a short distance of the ship she was driven tech
by straw of weather, and some fears were entertained of her
not reaching Weymouth in safety. Some of the cadets
were without funds, and were exposed to privations h
being obliged to remain in Weymouth unltir
next day. The Portland boatmen were afraid to
go of to the Britaanist, although the distance was
not great, and when the weather moderated a little
they would not venture out for lass than a couple of sove-
reigns • trip. Even on Wednesday there was danger in
proceeding out to the ship in a boat. Mrs are about 250
cadets on board the Britennia. Dissatisfaction is felt
that the vowel should be stationed an a spot which offers
peat obstructions to intercourse between boys and their
parents. Her Majesty's ship Boscawem, which is a naval
ecboolabip for poor boys who are being instructed to go
before the mast, is liadosed la the sheltered harbour of
Southampton Water, where in caw of a boy's illness his re.
latives can visit him with the utmost facility.
We have received the following additional advice', in re-
ference to the effects of the late gale on various parts of
the coast :

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.

CAISTOR, rah YARMOUTH,
THURSDAY NIGHT.
About seven o'clock last night, while the wind
was blowing bard from the W.8.W., the beadsman at this
tobserved • vessel burning lights in the direction of the
Sands. Knowing the danger of her position they
sd their largest yawl to her arstaire, but owing to
the vi of the ses, they found they could not render
any help to the versa with the yawl, and therefore Maned
at ors foe the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion stationed here, in which they immediately proceeded to
the ship. On arriving dreads the vessel, which was in the
midst of the broken water on the sand, the lifeboat crow let
go their anchor and veered down towards her. Twice
they had to ship the author of the lifeboat before they ooeld
plaes her in •• proper prairie to bear down to the vessel.
They, however' succeeded at last and put some of their
crew on board. With the mixture of a steam tug, whisk
came up at the time, they ware then enabled to take the
vessel, which proved to be the Groom Emily, of Loadoe,
safely into Yarmouth Harbour. The sight was very dark,
and the schooner could not have been in • more perilous
position, nor could she have boss more pllsatly ruched,
as the sea was running mountains high. The vessel's crew
bed been in the rigguig two hours whoa the lifeboat arrived
alongside. The lifeboat and crew, as usual, behaved re-
markably well. While the Caistie lifeboat re resod
in this service the Yarmouth lifeboat, which also belongs
to the National Institution, came up, but seeing the Castor
boat alongside, she returned to her station.
