LIFE.

LITEJAPOOL, Seance.
A fearful tempest sea over Liverpool and the
surrounding neighbourhood last night and up to a late
hoer this afternoon, .riesMng peat devastation to the
.hafidiage, gardens, /cc., in the outlrfg districts at the
northern boundary of the town. the coast from
Beetle to Crosby and Formby, the destruction to property
ie general. The beach is literally strewn with wreck of
every description, and the damage to the shipping off the
port most have been heavy. We regret to have to announce
imolearful wrecks one accompanied withthe loss of 23 lives,
and another in which all on board the dilated ship must
haVe gone down in the vessel, as not a vestige of the
wreck, by which aloe can be ideutiffed, has up to the de-
spatch of this parcel been recovered, nor have any of the
bodies of the crew been picked up. The first wreck is
that of the ship Tara, 1,017 tons burden, Captain Arm-
strong. This vessel only sailed from the Mersey for
Quebec on Saturday afternoon. The weather was tine
at the time, but towards dark the wind sprung up from
the west, and at midnight it was blowing a terrific
gale from W,B.W. The face of the tempest carried
the vessel on to the Formby spit, a very dangerous bank,
and she soon became a total wreck, the commander,
Captain Armstrong, being the only person out of 21 who
were on board when the Tara left the Mersey that
escaped, the remainder having perished. Captain Arm-
strong, after being in the water for some time, was seen
by the captain of the steamer, Countess of Galloway, and
rescued trim the fate which betel his unfortunate com-
rades. A loge vessel, the name of which at present is
unknown, went down during the height of the storm off
the Formby lightship, and all on board are supposed to
have been drowned, as after the ship sank nothing was to
be seen but a few loose spars. A large three-masted
schooner, believed to be one of the Glasgow traders, has
been forced ashore in a very dangerous position on the
West Hoyle Bank. 'The •Hoylake lifeboat started at 11
a.m. this morning to render aasistances to the crew, who
were dinging to the rigging. The tine East India
trader, ltelpoie. Captain Aietauder, which left Cal-
cutta on the Bth of April, with a large and
vale ab I e cargo, amongst which were 2, 4Uj bales
tt rotten. was caught in the storm off the bar, dis-
iientet!, and was compelled to let go both anchors to pre-
Wilt her from drifting ashore. ller critical position was
observed by two tugboats, which at Lace bore up and re-
mained by her until high water, when they towed her
into prat. A large dismasted vessel is ashore outside the
bar on the Dove Slit. Tldec ships are at anchor off
Iloyllikr. and have signals of di-trees flying. Two bouts
have been washed ashore on Hilbre island ; ono is
marked " Mariner, Waterford, J. Simms, master."
A life buoy has also hero picked up on the Hilbre beach,
Is ;wing the inscription •• N ept une, Montrose." The above
are the chief items of the disastrous effects of one of the
most tearful gales which has swept over Liverpool and the
vicinity since the eventful storm in which the Royal
Charter was wrecked. It is, however, believed that the
casualties will be largely increased, as the repaets
reteivesl up to this afternoon from the Welsh and Irish
ports are of a very disheartening nature.
PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING.
A tt rrific gale from the W.S.W. has been raging hero
with considerable force since four o'clock this morning.
The woither for the past few days has been of the most
squally nature, and to-day the gale seemed to' have
reached its height. At half-past eleven the sea and wind
were most tempestuous, and the shipping in the roads
laboured to such an extent that fears were enter-
tained that they would drift, but owing to riding
with additional authors, up to the present time they
have managed to ride out the gale. About
legal a small brig narrowly escaped the much dreaded
Race in making for Portland Roads. Between 12 and 1 a
large ship was sighted in the channel making for the
pleas: pl the breakwater, which proved to be her Majesty's
ship St. George, "hich was out for the annual month's
training of the coast VOlui..2ters. Although her sea gotug
qualities were severely tested in the chops of the Channel,
the behaved admirably under a t 044. oudul4T9fittli to
make for her mooringst but was unable to do so owing to
the gale, and is now nduig at anchor just inside the break-
water. If at any time during the day the elements
were more tempoituous than another it was about
4 o'clock, when the wind shifted to the W.N.W., causing
a heavy surf in the Bate, augmented very much by the
ebb tide. It was about this time that an officer of coast
guard stationed on the look-out at the Bill of Portland
saw a Site brig labouring up Channel, evidently attempt-
ing to make for the roads. Soon after passing the Bill, all
control over her seemed to be lost, the strong ebb tide
carried her into the Race, and in a few momenta she sank
with all hands. At the time at which we write (0 p.m)
not the slightest clue has been obtained of the name of
the ill-fated craft. She appeared to be a coaster coming from
the westward. Soon after this calamity a small yacht of
about 60 tons, also coming from the westward, bad a
narrow escape of foundering, but managed to escape the
Itace, and anchor in safety in Portland roads. The corn.
municat ion between Weymouth and the Channel Islands
has 10E411 interrupted by the gale, and the Brighton
steamship timed to leaved Jersey at 7, has not arrived, The
steamboats between Weymouth and Portland had to suspend
running, owing to the sea being so high that no passen-
gers could he landed. The wind abated slightly as the
evening advanced, and it is thought that the gale has ex-
pended its strength. On shore, beyond the blowing off of
a few insecure chimney pots and tiles, no damage has
been done. At Weymouth we learn that the sea was so
high that fears were entertained for the safety of the
bathing niachines on the beach, which, for greater
security, were drawn up on the high road adjoining,

UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.—Ari unfortunate
accident, which may be attended with serious conse-
quence., occurred at the Spanish lines yesterday. A
party of officers belonging to her Majesty's ship
Prince Consort were returning in the evening
from riding on the beach, when, on entering
the road to the lines, one of these officers, Mr.
Alexander, a midshipman, rode over an old woman who
ran across iu front of his hone. He appears to have been
riding rather fast, and was unable at the moment to pull
In. The woman was seriously hurt, It was found that
her collar bone was broken, and there was a deep cut on
her head. And as she is over 80 years of age, it is feared
that she will not easily recover. Mr. Alexander was
tearrested by the Spanish authorities, and spent last night
the officerro' gum in the main guard at the lines.
The madin tter has been referred to General Oeorio, meng at Algeciras, for his decision, but it is feared that
the detention of Mr. Alexander is inevitable. He will, in
all probability, be removed to A
there a prisoner u lgeciras, and will remain
upon tarok ; at least until the unfor-
tunate woman ie out of danger. Meanwhile, the Prince
Coasort is to proceed on her voyage to Melte this evening.

TEE LEMMA TIONAL RACE PROM DIEPPE
TO RIDE AND RAM

RYDE, SWIDAY, AUCIIMT
7.114.1141 bi intelligence was received here of the aonclusion of
the great intamitional race between the yachts of Ragland and
Fiance, which commenced at Dieppe at one o'clock on Thursday
afternoon. The following was the time taken of the two Bret
vessels, nothing having been seen of the other :
h. in.
Albertine
truism,
The yawls having rounded the French IiCSTIC? then proceeded
back again to the eastward, which thee did with a rattling brave.
In the cosine of Friday night they must have felt the full farce
of the south-weet gale which set in and drove them before it like
lightning, as was evident from the time of their arrival. On
coming to Ryde the leading schooner occupied upwar& of 24
hours, but on the return the mane vessel covered the distance in
less than half that time.
The following was the time of arrival of the first two vessels :
b. in.
Albert Inc 1 11
Creamy 4 58
The Mystery and Lynx had nut arrived.
It will thus be seen that the Albertine, formerly belonging to
Lord Londesborough, but now owned by Captain Phibba, wins
the dot prize, and entirely running away from the best French
tetwel sent to sail against her. The Croissy takes the second
prier, and as that is given by an Englishman, of course, in the
eyes of a French owner, it will pomem an additional value.

THE FOETHCOMING YACHT LACE.

SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY.

The Southampton and Isle of Wight Steam-
packet Company have advertised an excursion round the
Isle of Wight to-morrow to witness the national yacht
race between the Amencan yacht Sappho and the English
Teats Cambria, Aline, Condor, and (hnara. The Cam-
bria was built at Cowes, the Aline at Gosport, and the
Condor and ()imam in Scotland. Robert l'enny, one of
the very best of the Southampton yacht pilots, has been
engaged for the Sappho, and young Nicholls, another
famous yacht pilot, will have charge of the Cambria. The
Sappho has very much the uppeantnee in her rounded
sides and sharp bow of the celebrated yacht America.
She made a trod trip on Friday. She had light winds,
and did not appear then to sail well to windward, but ou
loosoiing the sheet her rapidity was something mar-
vellous. It has been blowing now for forty-eight hours
almost a gale from the west and north-wed, and if
it continue the race will be a magnificent one.
With such a wind, the race will be over in about
live or six hours. The distance the yachts will run will
iwiliaps be about eighty miles. Captain Baldwin, of the
appho is an experienced seaman. lie is a New York man
1.). laid', but has been living for the last few years in
Brazil as a merchant, lie speaks in the highest termsof
the courtesy and attention he has received from the mem-
bers of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and he is confident
that he will have every asandance afforded him to win if
he can, and that he will receive due honour if successful.
Numerous steamers will, it is expected, follow the yachti
in the race, and its progress will be watched from every
headland on the island and communicated by telegraph
and train when possible. The contest is exciting the
utmost interest. It will ho the great yacht race of
the season.

TILE REV. H. A. STERN ON Ills CAPTIVITY.—
Yesterday morning, on the occasion of the opening of the
west gallery at St. Michael and AU Angels, South Hack-
ney, the key. H. A. Stern, M.A., one of the captives in
Abyssinia, preached au eloquent sermon, the church being
densely crowded in every part. The reverend gentleman
selected as the text for his discourse Acts ii. v. 22 23 ; and
in the course of his sermon dwelt frequently and strongly
on the marvellous efficacy of
.prayer. He alluded to the
bitter experience he had acquired of the loss of all kindly
human companionship in his late captivity, and to the
unspeakable solace he and his fellow captives bad found
t...
in the constant exercise of prayer during those hours of
trial and afilietiOn. Referring- to tho stioosessu: ."uo of
the exmXion undid' General Sir R. Napier, and the nit;.
mate deliverance of the prisoners, the rev. gentleman
observed that he could not but attribute these happy
results in a great measure to the prayers which had been
constantly offered up on their behalf by the Christian
community at large.

A ROADSIDE IitVRDER.—A letter from St.
Petersburg says :—" One day last week Sir Andrew
Buchanan, the English ambassador, when out riding near
his country house at Ligovo, about thirteen vents from
St. Petersburg, remarked the figure of a man lying down
not far from the roadside, apparently asleep, but took no
further notice of the incident and passed on. Three days
latert when riding the Boole way in company with his
daughter, he was surprised to see the man still lying in
the same position. He stopped accordingly, and sent his
groom to see what was the matter, when it was dis-
covered to he the dead body of an Imperial Chasseur,
with his throat cut from ear to ear, and deep bruises
on the head. Intelligence was at once conveyed to the
police. Some bank-sotea were found sewed up inside the
man's shirt, and in his pockets were receipts for largo
SUMS recently collected by him. Hence it is supposed
that the murderer knew that the unfortunate man had a
large sum of money on his person, though he failed to
find it all, or was scared away from the spot before the
robbery was completed. As the body was discovered
within the grounds of the country house of the Countess
Catherine Koushleff—who is now residing at Athens, at
the court of Queen Olga—and in a spot certainly not un-
frequented, it is thought likely that the poor Chasseur's
body had been seen by other people before Sir Andrew,
but that they feared to give- information to the autho-
rities, owing to the ridiculous law which makes the last
person seen near the body accountable for the murder.
The affair is at present in the hands of the police."
NEW LAW ON RAILWAY ACCIDENTB.—In the
new Railway Regulation Act there are two provisions
which are now in force with respect to compensation to be
granted for railway accidents. Bythe 25th section, on both
the company and the person injured, or, if killed, his
representative, making a joint application in writing to
the Board of Trade, the board may appoint
an arbitrator, and he is to determine the amount of the
compensation. The other provision is with renard to
medical evidence. Whenever any person injured by an
accident on a railway claims compensation, the judge of
the court, or the person having power to amass the
amount, or with the consent of the parties, a medical man
may be required to examine the injured person, and an
order may be made for meta.
