Oar Dover correspondent writes Last (Tuesday) night,
during a terrific gels from the S.E., the 'chooser Pilot,
Captain L. Jonas, belonging to Miliord, and bound from
Havre to Hamburg, with a cargo of asphalts, went ashore
off the harbour, between the Admiralty Pier and the West
Pier-bead. The Pilot was • vessel of 55 tons burthen, sad
had left Havre on the precading morning, with a crew an-
sluing of the captain and three games. Overtakes by the
gals, she was running for Dover harbour to obtain shelter,
when the mental; a stranger to this cue, unfortunately
mistook the lights of the Admiralty Pier and the West Pith-
ead for thole indicating the entrants to the poet, and, under
the impression that he was steering his vessel into the
mouth of the harbour, he ran her dead upon the stone
apron which lines in. shore between the points in
qmestion, the harbour lying • little to the eastward. The
little croft broke up • almost immediately, and before
the slightest assistance could be rendered, the lives of the
captain and two of the seamen, John Murray and Thomas
Cobbles, had paid the penalty of this luckless error. The
fourth man era recovered from the wreck, and conveyed to
the Dover Sailors' Home. Two of the bodies of the poor
fellows who were drowned have been picked up in the bey
this morning, and bore been identified as the bodies of Mur-
ray and Cobbin. The captain's body has not yet been found.
The effects of the gale are seen all along the sea front. The
asphalts promenade in front of Waterico-crescent has been
literally torn up by the violence of the set, and the windows
of some of the houses have been blown tn. Other casualties
are reported between this and Hythe, but particulars have
not yet teen gathered. A very heavy tea is GO running."
From Portsmouth we bear that agate of wind, accompanied
by heavy storms of rain, sleet and hail, eating up yesterday
morning and increased in violence until night, when it blow
• perfect hurricane. The steam ferry pier, which is in course
of construction at Ryde, was considerably damaged, and
several of the heavy piles and timbers were carried
away; some of them being recovered on South's.-
heath, whither they bad drifted. One or two privets
boats, lashed to the Victoria-pier Portsmouth, ware
also destroyed. A barge, containing about thirty men,
employed in the preliminary work. on a submerged sand
back known as " No Man's Land," to the earward of Spit-
head, where It is contemplated to erect a fothitkation for the
protection of Spitheed, were for some time in a very preca-
rious condition. They were only anchored by a roe* cable,
which it was leered would lot the huge adrift. Several an.
eutiomiful attempts were made to rescue them, and at an
advanced hoar of the night the Sprightly wain-
Yawl, Master Alton, commander, was sent out and
succeeded to taking the bergs to tow. A heavy gale, how-
ever, sprung up. and It was found necasery for • time to cut
the tow ropes, in order to prevent fatal result.. Happily the
men were rescued. In the afternoon a boat belonging to her
Majesty's ship Beagle was drifted across the bows of • main
tug. and the crew were so alarmed that they jumped overboard,
and one man was drowned.

mission during the whole of yesterday. Tee *raffle Lv the
river stearn-boata with the exception of the Woodside and
Birkenheed and Chester Railway boats was entirely •us-
pended, and the waves at high water wished over the viers
and landing stages to such as extent as to render them at
time* usapproaehable. The White Star clipper, bound for
31elbourne, was compelled to put back, and in dying so drove
toward. the Pluckine ton bank. a dangerous bank opposite the
Brunswick-dock. She was for some time in a critical position,
and lost two et her am bore, but ultimately was brought up

neon the epire of St. George's Church was obiorved to reek
when particularly hooey gusts came in contact with it. The
, sailing of the City of 11.Itimore (for Now York) and the Are°
' Simon (for Qu -bee) was retarded by the violence of the weather,
and c iteruunicaii w between them and the port enspended.
A dot (name at present unknown), which was sailing down
the eiver towards Runcorn, foundered off Reaoontbe Point,
and two men and a boy were drowned. It is to be feared
that several olio r disasters will have taken place in the
Channel. The steamer Semaphore, which sailed from Bel-
feet on Monday, strived yesterday afternoon. She bad on
b, ant a number of cattle, pig., @beep, etc., large quantities it
whielt died trout the royalty of the wew her and the rough
handling which the vessel received. One dealer bad with
him a hundred cattle when he left Belfast, and only flee were I
alive yeeterley. The bodies of the dead animals were laid
upon the landing stages which assumed the appearance of a
morgue on an immense Peale. At Holyhead the weather was
very stormy, and raveral vowels have gone whore in the WA-
mediate neighbourhood.

The effects of the gale in the metropolis and suburbs were
somewhat disestrone to property and attended with loss of
lite. Chimneys were dislodged and thrown into the streets.
trees were torn op by the roots, and the damage to Amer
gardens was onamderable.

Scotia, who were out on strike, the advance sought, sad con-
samently they have resumed work. The sane clans of ope-
ratives, lately in the employ of the same firm, at the Prop-
field Mill, Orimahaw Park, are still out on stab, as also are
those of Messrs. Harrison sad Co., at Highaeld Mill, the
respective manufacturers refits* to pay them at the ad-

THE INTENDED NEW COPPER OR BRONZE COI:C-
-AUL—It is known that the government intend to issue
new coinage of a bronze alloy, to replan, the existing oopper
coinage ; and we may now state that the arrangements have
advatieed no tar that in Manchester there have been con-
structed the evince to drive the stamping presets to be used,
sad also the boilers needed for that purpose. The ermines
and boilers. have been made by Hearn. It. Ormerod and Sou,
of the St. George's Ironworks, Chester-road, Hahne. The
latter have already been forwarded to their destination, end
the former will follow next week. That destined= is the
works of Messrs. R. Heaton and Sone, of Birmingham. who
have, we are told, execated all the copper 001118 struck for
this country for many years, and who also succesefully com-
peted for the execution of the new French currency issued
by Napoleon 111. The pair of engem' an upon en m-

other advantages are thus gained. The cylinders are

that little or no checking strain should fell upon the en-

be very much harder than copper, and es in Striking coins
