TICK STORM AT BELFAST.—One of the severest
gales with which this neighbourhood has been visited du-
ring the present year commenced at an early hour on Sun-
day morning, accompanied at intervals by sudden gusts of
extraordinary violence and excessive rains. As the morn-
ing advanced the gale increased in force, and endinued
during the entire of the day, at intervals deluging our
streets with rain. We fear we shall have calamitous news
from sea. The vessels in port sustained hut trilling de.
mage. Two of them, the Osprey and Bolivar, h 1,14.2 from
their moorings but were speedily brought back to their
berths and secured. The steam dredge also broke
loose, with one man on board, who, in a state of
amusing alarm, hoisted a pole on hoard with a
white cloth as • flag of distress. The unwieldy craft
was, however, without much difficulty, placed in security
No disabled vessels entered the port up to a late hour last
night. The Blenheim steamer did not arrive until half-put
ten o'clock last night, after a rough passage of sixteen hours,
having been delayed one hour additional from want of suf-
ficient water to come to the quay. At about thve o'clock
yesterday afternoon the two end walls of the large pre-
mises of Mr. Joseph Waugh, in Victoria-street, which were
gutted by fire on Monday last, were partially blown down
with a tremendous crash, and nothing now remains intirc
but the front and back walls, the former being in au ex-
ceedingly precarious and dangerous position. The elects
of this storm cannot but prove highly dins:roue to the
standing crops. In one respect it will prove serviceable,
for it has cleared the atmosphere, and given the town a
complete washing—a matter of no small importance at this
critical season.—Beyhrt ..Vetcs Letter.

ANTtutanEs.—A. number of stone coffins, contain-
Big human remains in a more or less state of decomposition,
have been recently discovered in the grounds of Braehead
House, in the neighbourhood of Kirkaldy. The coffins and
their inhabitants are no doubt old, but they do not seem to
point to a period of very great antiquity. Similar remains
have been discovered in different parts of the country, also
large standing atones, soma of them protribly memorials of
victory or defeat, gained or sustained by our rude ances-
tors in their conflicts with the Homan power, or the nume-
rous migratory invading armies which came at a later pe-
riod from the shores of the Baltic, or the sterile wilds of
Scandinavia.—Fifeshire Journal.
