TRE GALE.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.

POOLE, DORSET, SrNiLty..

Dcring a north-easterly gale, and in thick
weather, early yesterday morning (reports G. Neave
Penury, Esq., Lloyd's agent), the Contest, of and from
Guernsey, hound to London with a cargo of granite atone,
went ashore on the Hook Sand. The lifeboat Manley
Wood. of the National Lifeboat Institution, was launched
son after daylight, acil rendered every passible assistance
to the vessel, putting men on board, who discharged
1:.0 ton. of her cargo. As evening came on the
gale increased, and the lifeboat then took oil
the crew and others, and landed them in safety. In
doing so the boat, which then had 30 souls on board, was
ta ice filled by the heavy seas, but immediately cleared and
righted her•elf. The second cosawain was knocked over-
but soon recovered himself and got into the boat
u,ain. The master sad crew of the Cooteet speak in the
highest terms of the behavour of the lifeboat and crew,
and it is very amid:idol/ to us all that the lifeboat has
rendered such undeniable good service in saving life. The
Neat el is still holding on without • nun on board.
MUNDE.SLEY, NORFOLK, SLITDAT.
A vessel was seen burning a light as a signal of distress
this morning (states Mr. George Gordon) during a strong
wind from the KS E. and in &heavy sea. The " Grocers"
lAbe.,t of the National Lifeboat Institution was at
me got ready. Shortly afterwards the vessel was beached
by the captain, who thereby hoped to save the lives of the
crow ; but, as the ship was full of water, she remained
fast on the outer bank, out of reach of the rocket-line.
The liieboat was promptly launched, but on account of the
h.-ivy wind and sea, she was unhappily only the means of
smog one man, the vessel breaking up in less than an
Lour after striking, and the mainmast, on which were the
ete w of six men, falling overboard. Two poor boys were
lashed to the top, and the rest of the crew of four men were
thrown into the water. One of the latter managed to cling
to a small plank, and as he was floating past the lifeboat,
one of the boat's crew (William Jumper) leaped overboard
with t line and caught him, and both of them were then
hauled into the lifeboat. Unfortunately the other poor
(Mows perished beforethe lifeboat could reach them. hone
hat eve-witnesses can form any idea of the heart-rending
veep on this out occasion, and the inestimable value of
the lifeboat, although it was only able this time to rave
one Dian from a watery grave. The vessel was the brig
George, of Sunderland' and was bound from that port to
Rouen with a cargo of coals. _ _

DOVER, SUNDAY.
Cullen Marsh reports that at noon this day, during
a heavy gale from the eastward, the Royal Wiltshire life-
boat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution,
was launched to the assistance of a schooner which was in
;Teat danger, as she was drifting, with two anchors
ahead, towards the Admiralty pier, on the weather side
of which a tremendous ass was breaking. Fortunately,
however, the schooner rode out she gale until the tide
iurncel, when, after slipping both anchors, and by the
aid of a steam tug, she was brought into harbour. The
lifeboat, after remaining by the schooner an hour or two,
mtuined to the shore.

CROMER, NORFOLK, Sorrier.
I have to report (sass Mr. Henry Sandford) that at day-
ireak this morning a schooner came on shore about a mile
to the southward of this plate. The lifeboat of the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution stationed here was at once got
out and launched through a heavy sea, and soon reached
the t,,sel, when it was found that she was a derelict.
Shortly after the lifeboat arrived at the spot the schooner
woe struck by several heavy seas, which hove her head
routhl so uto bring her broadside on to the sea, and as
she was lying on an outer ledge of rocks she soon fell over
and in about two hours very little of the wreck was to be
seen. Its greatly to be feared that the vessel
struck on a shod adjoining the Foulness Rocks, about half
a mile from land, and that the crew then toot to their
Wet, anal must have perished, as the boat was afterwards
found bottom upwards about half a mile to the southward.
It is numb to be regretted that the lifeboat heal not the
chance of rescuing the poor fellows. The vessel was the
schooner Hero, of Rye, Durrant, master.

In Victoria, in connexion with the Duke of Edin-
burgh's visit. exuberant loyalty wan assuming rather ludi-
crous forma. One proposer desired to call attention to his
oxy-hydrogen and electric lights, at once cheaper and more
effective than gas for purposes of illumination. Another
gsaUdnius sought the countenance of the commission and
the Duke for the Melbourne Haymarket Theatre, and for
the evergreen Madame Celeste. A third projector places
at the service of his royal highness an entire cricketing
team of aboriginal blacks ; a fourth tenders the present of

A contemporary says that those who have been
"permitted to see" a few of the promised " Leaves from a
Journal of Life in the Highlands, Tours, and Yachting
Expeditions, from 1812 to 1861," remark that the royal
authorship stands undisguised. The style in which the
incidents of daily life are narrated is u frank and un-
affected as it is earnest and graceful. The interest, indeed,
Is said to extend far beyond that of any ordinary highland
toms or yachting expeditions, however vivid and pinto-
rt,que they may be, mince we are to be admitted to see the
daily life, the conversation, the thoughts, and the very
spirit animating those whose influence has been of such im-
port to the life of the nation itself.

A letter from Ansley Bay, dated Oct. 27, states
that there were at anchorage as that date about ten
steamers and six sailing transports. Colonel Merewether
had been absent since the transports arrived on • recoil-
salience to the south. His object was to ascertain if the
mountain panes in that direction were practicable. It
was reported that no route exists where he bas explored
available for the march of en army, The opinion among
military men was that there will be two or three landing-
places for the army, regulated, of course, by the water
supply and anchorage. Camps will be formed at these
po,:tions, and the divisions or brigades will advance by
different manes and meet on the high tableland of Abys-
sinia, where a grand depot will be established, " The
weather for the last ten days," writes the correspondent,
" althoubh decidedly hot, has not been disagreeable ; the
nights are cool, and often necessitate • blanket. During
t'le day there is a delicious sea breeze, which fails about 8
o'clock in the evening, and for the next three hours it is
dose and hot until a land wind springs up again."
