STONY AND ILOOZIS IN TIE .N 1
OP 30027ALND.

The Wick oorrespor.deut of the Sooterein write" :
—" This coast has this week been visited by use of the
most severe storms which we have experiesied ler many
• yearn. Ow Wedusday @velum, • trek Mean of wind
fume up from the north-um, and eiratinusd to increase
till about midnight, when it burst forth with torn& fury,
seeompoljed by tomato of rais, raising a Iremmidous sea
algae the coed sod in the bay. Forti/stray there were no
boots at sea at the time, else the 000sequencas would have
been terrible. As it was, however, au immense amount of
damage has been dime as shore. The works at the new
harbour, which have been carried ou almost with-
out interruption for the pest twelve mouths, have
been suddenly brought to • stand-still by the com-
plete demoinwo, in the course of • few hours, of the pon-
derous wooden staging, which it has taken masy menthe to
erect. The staging, which was constructed of heavy logs
strongly bound together by tree clasps, and secured by chains
and anchors, had been owned seawards about 400 feet, about
80 feet of which was added to it only within the put week.
It was some 40 or 60 feet wide, and had three or four knee of
rails laid on its surface for the locomotive end miaow
to run Moog with the stones micassary ,for the
construction of the breakwater. The work was so atrocity
li fastened and bound together that the °Detractors
sad resident engineer had no fear of its ever giving way,
although those acquainted with Wick Bay had grave doubts
as to in being We to withstand the fury of the winter
storms on this sewed coast. These fears, we regret to
my, have been fully realised. Early on Thursday morales
the waves began to dash over it, and in the course of a few
hours about 3110 feet of the work was carried away and
strewed along the beach in broken fragments. In order to
give some idea of the force of the waves, it may be men-
timed that =ay of the huge logs of which the work was
imostructed, which were 21 feet on the aide and some
60 feet long, were snapped in peas, and the rails
end heavy lion bolts bent and twisted as if they were
terof wire. Many hundreds of to of atone, too,
been displaced by the force of the storm,
and carried up to the teach, several hundred yards distant.
The loss entailed by this most unfortunate disaster we have
heard variously estimated at from 4,0001. to 6,0001., which,
it is reported, falls upon the British Fishery Society, and Pot
upon the contractors. It in a serious matter for the town,
toot as it will be the means of throwing a large number of
man idle, seeing that nothing can be dose without the I
staging, and that it is not likely it will be maim erected
before spring. Fears were entertained for the safety of the
roods loading to the quarries, which are ociastrooted upon
the slope of the beach ; but the weld haring veered round
mare to the north ia the course of the day has been the
OHMS of memo, down the sea • little ; so that, with the
exception of • piece of the embankment which has been
carried away, they are not likely to be seriously
damaged. The grope throughout the county will have
suffered severely from the fury of the storm.
6Aligreat
quantity of core is still in stook, and in the up dis-
trees • good deal of it is yet uncut, leo that the strong gale'
and heavy rains which have literally deluged the fields sod
flailed (tee straths and low-lying districts will, we fear, leave
a sad tale behind it of ruin and disaster to many a poor farmer.
It is feared that from the 'adducer and awful fury of
the storm tales of serious disasters at sea oar the north oust
may yet be to tell. There has been no intelligence received
here to-day from Scribner, where the storm would be felt
in all its terrible force ;ad fears are entertained for the
safety of several ousels known to be ia that roadstead."
The Elgin Operant of Friday says :—" We have to record
one of the moat severe hurricanes that has visited this part of
the kingdom tummy years, the effects of which will no doubt
be told in tales of disaster for days to come. Rain began to
fall on Wednesday afternoon about four o'clock, with the
wind from the northward, and, as the afternoon adverted,
a strong breeze turned isto a perfect immune, with an ia-
mount torrent of rain. This continued all Wediesday
night without intermiewion and, with the exception of •
fair hour on Thursday morning, the storm has continued to
the present moment. The rivers are in higher flood than '
they have been singe 1829. The Spey, the Findhoro, the
Louie, and smaller streams are roaring from bank to bias,
and in many places they are over their banks, and flooding
the haughlands along their courses. Meek damage has
been done. The Link wood Barn, as it is called, which
rises in the Mama* Hill, on the west side of the Gee
of Roches, came down on Thursday morning in a
perfect torrent, and carried away some thirty or forty yards
of the railway at the woollen manufactory in the Glen of
Roth's, completely intercepting all intercourse on the line.
When the goods train from Elgin went up the Glen at 12
o'clock, and came near the nulls, the driver saw • man
standing on the line waving • red flag on • pole, and soots
decorated it to be Mr. Hay, the miller, who was giving
warning, The train was stopped in time to prevent an ac-
cident At the break made by the burn, Mr. Hay stood
hours in the drenching rain to prevent an arindeot, and
deserves the highest praise. The train from Rothes was
stopped by breaks is the line before it got up to the woollies
mill, sad returned. It is said that some cloys will be required
to repair the damage done to the line. The Louis, as we
have said, has sot been so flooded for twenty years. Louie
Wynd, at the Tussocks, was impassable—ducks
swimming ball up the strut, and people compelled
to go by Northetreet on their way to and from Bisbopmill.
Nally trees were seen passing down the torrent—even the
Lipkwood Burn brought down tress from the Glen of
Moths, @bowies • terrible fall of rain from the hills, for the
barn, when in seta normal state, is a mere stremolet."
The wind being from the northward (nays the Scotsman),
• truly treineadons sea was rolling along the souther, shore
of the Moray Firth the whole of Thursday. At Lcesismouth
it was impossible to face the storm that raged with a
violence which old &bermes said had not been equalled for
thirty years. The sea appeared me unbroken sheet of
white foam as far as the eye, could reach. The curling
breakers extended two miles out from the shore, to twelve
fathoms water, and along the protection wall of the sew
basin the spray was rising 30 fest into the air. In the morn-
ing • 'chooser was seen running up the Firth past Louie-
mouth, not far out from the Sherries, and was observed to
be struck by several tremendous seas. She soon pared
oat of sight in the thick fog that covered the foaming norm,
and nor on this part of the coast can tell her fate. She
must have cleared the promontory of Morehead, and we
hope she reached Crorearty. Report in Lossiemouth had it
that • vessel helmet's to Hamburg, laden with herrings
from Lybster, was wreaked near Cennontb, but that all
hands were saved. At Buckle, at 1 o'clock on Thursday
afternooo, illteeo boats were missing, but three or four of
these ran into Bingheed Bay. under shelter of the head,
sod the hands got off. We hope all the rest are safe, but the
the excitement in Mackie was unease, so may lives being in
jeopardy. The alarm of the relatives of the Meanie mamma
was ensued tenfold in cooeueemi of some boats' I

I;erros—rld kite being washed ashore to the eastward,
indicating disaster. At Cullen the gale was felt very
severely. , The Portknothis boats were overtaken by it at
the haddock fishing, bat they all made the harbour, with
the a:cooties of two. Om of these was dashed upon •
reek, and drawn out to ma again, but the crew =weeded in
steering her to Craigearoan, • natural creek some miles to
the west, which has oared many a boat's crew from a
watery gram. The Wools still mooing. The Cullen boats
happily were act oat. Oa some pasts of the meat side road
Mimeo Buckle and Banff it was all but impossible to face
the storm. The wind was unroofing farm Meadings, blowing
down stacks, breaking and uprooting trees.
Early on Thursday mooing, a boat belonging to Port-
eous, armed the Laurel, was driven ashore at Whitelailla.
She is said to have been manned by a crew of eine non,
six of them brothers, and all must have perished, for
the boat was cast mime empty. No doubt it had
bees swamped among the breakers. This is • melancholy
case, there being little hope of the crew being eared by any
other boat Dear her at the time. At Burghead, such •
tempest has rarely bees witnessed. There, on Wednesday
evening, the first peen:oration of • coming gale were
noticed by the wind shiftiug from south to due north. It
was not toll yesterday, however, that the hurricane was at
its height, sod few of the inhabitant, of Burghtad bat
were at the pier before the fins streak of day, till the tem-
pesi abated. Oa Thursday evening, about four o'clock, two
boats belonging to Buckle, were driven on the sands—the
first about nix in the morning, the other about mid-day.
The fishermen in the bate were so exhausted and be-
numbed with the cold, that they could make no exertions
to save themselves, sad ha/ the Barghead fishermen act
used the means they did, they must have perished.
The brave fishermen of the &och joined hand I. kand, sad
waded into the ma until the waves were breaking over their
heads. lo this way, with almost superhuman exertions,
they reached the bonte and saved their struggling brothers.
Three of the rescuers were so much exhausted that they
had to be borne home, or carried to the nearest &tellies.
In the forenoon, just as the other boats were being saved
from destruction, a boat was seen about a mile to the met,
now rising and now going under the boiling sea, till all at
once • tremendous wave was seen to break over the ill-
fated boat, and she went down with the whole of her un-
fortunate crew. The name of the boat is unknown, and
also the number of hands, but it is supposed the belonged
to Bookie.

A sloop, name unknown, but supposed to belong to Kirk-
wall, was seen east of Barghead, evideotly making for the
shoes. From the time the vessel bore in sight she evi-
dently was struggling desperately with the heavy ma.
There were only three bands on board, and they seemed
to cling with desperation to the Agile& to which, appa-
rently, they bad lashed themselves, else the wave., as they
broke 'meths mast, would have most unqueationably washed
them off. It was a heartrending sight to see the poor fel-
' lows on the top of the sails Weep( find on one Bide and thee
to the other, and at every moment likely to be engulfed
by the waves. At one time it wee thought that Dolling
could save them, but, fortunately, at a point not far from
the shore, she gave a tremendous lurch, which tamed her
over a sharp rock, and she landed on the maul ►t the only
spot eo ran :eon olieee TIM passible she could do so with
safety between Surgbeed aid Losaiemouth. tiers agaie
the fishermen of Berghead came to the rescue, aid with
commeodable courage succeeded in reaching the sloop aid
bringing the bands oo shore.
Though tl.e gala from the SW. abated upon the omit of
Northumberland daring Thursday night, the sea on Friday
off that coast was stronger than had bees observed
durieg many =oaths past, and it denoted that much
more stormy weather had been a:perigees& in the North
Sea than had reached the coast. Notwithstanding
the very heavy sea, so greatly has t►e water been improved
at the mouth of the Tyne by the dredging operations of the
Rim Tyne Oecombeioners, theta onsimiderable fleet of lades
vessels gelled from that river on Friday morning. The latest
