THE LATZ GALES.—The principal trade of the
ancient town of Barking, in Essex, count. of its lisso-
me fisheries, by which to a considerable extent Billiapgate
market is supplied. The vessels engaged in this t ade_
are
numerous and large, ranging from 40 to 120 toss burden, and
are manned by some of the boldest sod hardiest seamen in
the world. They fish principally in the North Sea, and
the greater portion of the fleet, when the late gales bunt
upon them, were fishing off the *oast of Holland. To many,
escape was impossible. Some vessel& foundered with
all halide, others were drives whore, others were dis-
covered as complete wrecks, without a soul on board
(excepting iu one case. where a little boy was found in the
cabin, the only one left to tell the tale of shipwreck and of
death), while of those men who were fortunate enough to
gain the shore some are injured for life. The loss of life in
men sod boys cannot be estimated at leas than 40, rod no
less than 20 widows are left totally unprovided for. DMA-
tious, however small, will be gratefully received by the
vicar mid churchwardens, Barking, Essex.
A Canistgas Scam ER.—ln Yorkshire the mild-
ness of the segue is unusual. The gardens, many of them,
retain the scarlet geraniums and stocks of summer yet in
bloom, and roses still keep their foliage. Gooseberries are
in leaf partly, end about Scagglethorpe, in full south posi-
tions, have actually flowered ; and rhubarb is pushing in
the open ground. Altogether there have not been more
than twelve hours of slight frost. In the fields the wheat
crops are remarkably forward—" proud." as the farmers
say, and the breadth of wheat sows—thanks to the open
weather—is very large. Turnips have hardly ceased grow-
ing yet ; the season, indeed, is more like Michaelmas than
Cbnstmu.
HYDROPHOBIA. —Mr. John Goggin, a confec-
tioner of Limerick, was on Tuesday last bitten by a pet
monkey. The skin of hi. little finger only was slightly
torn, but the wound seemed mere scratch and at ant
gave him no pain. He soon felt, however, a sort of irrita-
tion in his wrist. It gredually extended to the parts above
the elbow, and they became swollen. Medical men were
then called in. when it was discovered that the patient
exhibited symptoms resembling those of hydrophobia. He
died on Sunday, after suffering great pain. The monkey
some time before had killed a cat and a deg.
BURGLARY AT BlRMlNGHAM.—Yestertiay, two
men named James Bailey, bricklayer, and JOl3ll O'Hara, a
burnisher, were brought up at the Birmingham police-
court, before Mr. Kynnersley (stipendiary magistrate),
charged with being concerned in the burglary at Mi.
Chinn's, Hagley-rced, on the 12th instant. On the appli-
cation of Inspector Maoton, of the detective force, O'Hara,
who was identified by Mr. Chives as ogle of the men he
struck, was remanded till Wednesday. but Bailey, who was
not identified. was discharged. The prioneuO'Hara bwl his
