brought intelligence of a most fearful gale from the N. W.,
with hail and now at istervals, having been raging along the
whole extent of the Dutch, Danish, and adjacent range
of coast, occasiosieg much havoc amongst the shipping.
The weather had boas very tempestuous the last week or
so, bet on Thunday, Friday, and Saturday the wind

Lieutenant Welch, which bed been despatched in search
of the missing trawling smacks from the Humber. It Is
stated that the Lively had been driven ashore at Tsxel,
and that Mr. Flame, the engineer, was drowned—the rest
of the new being saved. On the receipt of the news the

Medals, lying as Ellteeraaas, to proceed with all dispatch to
the month of the Toad with the hope of getting the
gunboat off. No setiefaetory tidings had been gleaned of

the nasals, Richard and Harry, of Hull, and Kingston, of
Hull, have been washed ashore near 'Axel, giving rime to
the worst fears as to their fate. Two steamers are reported

to Rotterdam. Like the Wilbelmsberg, emigrant ship, she
was east upon the Terechelling some three or four miles out
