lave been numerous. and the loss of life from shipwreck
saps roast has been gnat. On Mouday morning the
weed blew a hurricane, and between that and two
eclock the heavens exhibited a vary wild aspect. The
wane of vessels which arrived in the docks in the course
of yestenlay from Hamburg, France, °smarmy, thereat
and north-net ports, say they had not experieneed
such a night for some years. The sea, which
was very high, was lashed into great fury. Most
yew* except those of very large tonnage, could not
make head against it, and on the east coast it is esti-
mated that at least 200 vessels sought the shelter which
the ports of Lowestoft and Yarmouth afforded. This
was also the case on the south eoset, whore it is said small
week could not live in the high sea which prevailed. A
large Lumber of vessels which should have arrived in the
river yesterday morning did not arrive till the afternoon,
most of them having, when the gale set in, sought shelter
ie port. Several vessels which were also due yesterday
afternoon had not up to last night come in. It was
expected, however, that some of them had not started at
Use uvula time. or that if they did so they bad gone into
port to repair damage. Ample warnings of the probability
of rough weather were despatched to all ports round the
mast on Thursday, and they were renewed on Friday and
Saturday, by the Meteorological Department of the
Board of Trade. On the ricer during the night nume-
rous lien of vessels were secured by additional anchors,
but notwithstanding these and other precautions,
several broke away and caused considerable damage
ee theme with which they tame in contact. One man ie
reported to have teen drowned and several greatly injured.
The streets yesterday morning bore full evidence of the
effect of the wind. Nearly every thoroughfare contained
broken materials of various kinds which had been blown
down. A house was partially unroofed in Seven Dials,
and an old man named Rowley sustained severe injuries.
In the eerie neighbourhood a chimney-stack was blown
lawn, but fortunately no one was injured. Houses were
also partially unroofed in all parts of the metropolis, and,
from inquiries instituted at the hospitals, it appears that
many persons were injured.
At Barking Reach, a fishing smack laden with fish for
Billmirsgate-market was wrecked, and two young men
who had charge of the craft went down with the vessel.
A very severe gale swept over Liverpool on Sunday
afternoon and the greater part of the night, up to an
early hour yesterday morning. The account& however,
received in Liverpool up to last evening do not mention
any serious disaster. Along the Welsh coast the storm
was very violent, and several Email coasting craft were
rather roughly handled. The ship Laurence. bound from
San Francisco, took fire at sea. and was abandoned on the
22nd Sept. The captain and crew are reported as haring
arrived at New York. The schooner Clipper has been
totally wrecked in Table Bay. The ship Chimborazo. of
Boston, whilst lying at Tobacco taking in cargo, was
driven ashore during a very heavy "north, and te•came
a complete wreck. The crew are reported as being all
mud. Large quantities of deals and mantling, evidently
the portion of the cargo of a timber-laden ship. have beeu
paved in the vicinity of Cape Clear and Tusks:.
Yeeterday. intelligence was received in Liverpool. by
means .1 the Atlantic Cable, to the effect that the City
of Belton, one of the Inman fleet of American mail
reamers, had gone ashore on the south-west Spit, outside
the 'Arbour of New York. The City of Boston only left
Yew York on Saturday last for Liverpool, and the tele-
gram states that when the steamer struck upon the Spit
she was in charge of a pilot, and that a dense anowedorm
j ',sailed at the time. The vessel went ashore about four
o'cic et p.m., and remained till about 7.30 p.m., when she
floated off without assistance and was towed back to New
York. where she transferred her mails, cargo, and pas-
senger* to the City of New York, another Inman steamer.
which would leave as soon as possible for Liverpool. The
saly damage sustained by the City of Boston was the lose
el her rudder and outer sterupost, and it was anticipated
that the repairs would be completed to enable the vessel
to leave New York for Liverpool on Saturday next.
On Sunday night, a gale of more than usual violeuce
from the south-westward raged over Chatham and its
neighbourhood, the wind, at times, blowing with the
force of a tremendous hurricane. During the height
el the gale, grace fears were entertained for the
safety of the Great Eastern steamship, which
is moored in the Medway, awaiting the re-
ception on board of the Franco-American
telegraph cable, the vitiation in which the huge vessel is
moored exposing her to the full fury of the south-
westerly gales. Every precaution was, however, taken
by throwing out additional anchors to render the vessel
secure, and the great ship fortunately rode out the gale
without any mishap. The large floating dock Bermuda,
also lying in the Medway, had been partially submerged,
and being moored in a comparatively sheltered portion of
the river, no apprehension was felt for her safety. A
large fleet of vessels, many of them outward bound,
van for shelter, during Sunday afternoon, inside
Crain-spit, matey of them with loud Taro and bow-
sprits.

MURDER OF AA AMERICAN JOUREALIST.—RIEH-
Hceso, Nov. 24.—The city was startled this forenoon by
the report that H. RiveePollard, editor and proprietor of
the &others Oplosiora, had been measeinated. In last
Saturday's Optima* appeared two or three articles re-
flecting upon theprivate&erecter of several young women
of this city, onset which pointed to the daughter of one of
our wealthiest and most respected cilium, Mr. W. H.
Grant, tobacconist. This morning, as usual, Mr. Pollard
left his residence on the (hove-road, with • companion,
J. M. Hanna, in • earr+aBe, and arrived in treat of his
office, Main and Fourteen streets, at about 9 o'clock.
After both had, alighted. Mr. Hanna remaining behind
to testae the 'ream of the horse, Pollard advanced
towards his office-dear, and had not reached it when •
load of buckshot fired frees • third story opposite, out of
• double-barrelled shot gen, entered his body. He fell on
his face, and . In the fall severe gashes
were • Meted upistreleVradebead. His body was taken
up :rid borne to the second story of the build-
ing, where it was laid out on • mattress
in his editorial room. It was then viewed by
Coroner Little, who derided to bold an inquest at It
o'clock. Several policemen, having ascertained that the
shot had been fired from the opposite building, hastened
up the steps and forced the door of a room, and found
young Grant there. They thou secured him, and
when they tea him to the street he was cheered
by the multitude. An excited crowd emu so-
sembled about the Opitire• office, and the
throng was considerably augmented as news of the
homicide spread. Among the multitude were many of the
moat prominent citu'ens. Not one word of sympathy was
heard expressed for Pollard. It thussemaisthat be had won
the contempt of the whole community by his bullying and
libellous conduct. His journal, though startedprolemedly
as a great Southern exponent. besot late become themediurn
of the most vile and scurrilous attacks upon private cha-
racter. entering even the chambe rs of the virtuous and float-
ing upon air the least little whispers of vandalons goesip.
Mr. Ranee intends to continue the publication of the
iers, and says that the death of Mr. Pollard will not
necessitate any interruption in its issue. It is a remark-
able feet that this is the sixth time Hanna has narrowly
escaped being riddled. Pollard's body was taken, late in
the day, to his residence, without escort of friends or
acquaintances. solitary and alone. Mr. Grant is confined
in prison, where he is visited by numbers of sympathiring
sad solicitous friends. He is cheerful and seems perfectly
unconcerned.—New Fent Teihree' Nov. 2.. a despatch
in the New York papers of the 28th ult. says that the
corner's jury returned • verdict that the " &rowed came
to his death by the hands of some person unknown."
Grant was to. be examined on the 27th. " Although the
evidence against him is strong (says the .New York noses
of the 26th ult.) his friends are confident that be will not
be found guilty of murder in the first degree." The
Washington correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing on the 26th ult., ear :—" From as entirely re-
liable correspondent in Richmond I learn Pima
facts to-night that give rather • different shade
to the Polled-Grant tragedy. It seems that
the day before the shooting Grant went toe Pullenl
and ruled him if be was the author of the ob-
noxious artiste. Pollard said le was, and refined to re-
tract. Grant then challenged Pollard, and offered to
fight him then and there. ollard refused on the grounds
that he was under bonds and Wan not at liberty to accept
a challenge. Grant thereupon told Pollard to beware ;
that as be bad refused either to retract or give honour.
able satisfaction, he (Grant) would shot* him on eight.
This threat, it swims, caused the police to carefully watch
Grant. and the result wasthat be found but one opportu-
nity to wreak his vengeance upon Pollard, and that was
when he saw him entering his aloe. I send you these
points on excellent authority."
STRUGGLE WITH A BUROLL/I.—Between five and
six o'clock on Sunday morning • very daring capture of a
burglar took place at .Attercliffe, a suburb of Sheffield, by
a polite constable named Lawson. He was passing down
the road on his beat when he noticed a light in a public-
house kept by Mr. Cocking, and suspecting something
was , be got over a wall into • yard, and went to
the back which was unfastened. Before going in
he looked the:nigh the kitchen window, and by the light
of the gas saw two men in manta. He at ono, went into
the kitchen, whet one of the men presented a pieta at
him, and the other picked up the fender and struck him
with it on the head. The constable instantly dashed
at the man with the put& threw his arms mound
him, and clung to him tightly. Then the landlord
was beard moving upstairs, and the man who had
used the fender turned the gas out and made his
escape. Lawson and the prisoner scuffled in the
kitchen, but Lawson never let go of him, notwith-
standing that he got 'several violent blows on the head
with the pistol, and he forced the roan intent° yard, where
both fell down exhausted. The landlord then came, and,
all being dark, nearly fell over the two men, hut, finding
the state of the cam he took the policeman's handcuffs
from hi, pocket, awl made fart the prisoner, who was
shortly afterwards taken to the Sheffield police-station.
Lawson was very severely beaten about the head and face,
and he bled all the way to Sheffield, but he never left his
priscner till he saw him safely locked up. The prisoner's
name ie Siddall, and some tears ago he was sentenced to
four years' penal servitude for • highway robbery at
Handsworth, near Sheffield. He had on him • loaded
piste! and some cartridges He was brought up at Atter-
cliffe, and was well known to the landlord of the public-
home, so that it is supposed ho intended to shoot him if
recognised by him. A quantity of articles, chiefly wearing
apparel, was found packed up ready for removal.
WIFE MURDER AT PRESITON.—A brutal wife
murder was perpetrated in Preston on Saturday night.
Between 7 and 8 o'clock a man named Robert Caton, living
at No. 11, Gardner-strect, a plasterer by trade, and about
45 years of age, had a quarrel with his wife, who it seems
was most liberal in her use of violent and aggravating lan-
guage to him, both being the worse for liquor
at the time. It resulted in his going into the
cellar and bringing up a piece of wood, about
two feet long and an inch and a half in diameter, with
which be struck her on the left temple as she lay on a
sofa. His daughter, who was present, seized him, and
pushed him from her mother, but be shook her off, and
she saw him again strike her mother on the head
with the piece of wood referred to two or three
times, and she died soon afterwards. lie then
left the house, and went to the Iron Duke beer-
house, North-road, where he had two glasses of ale.
When charged with the murder be said, " I've done it."
Ile was then taken to the police-station, and seemed to be
very unconcerned as to his position. At the police-station
he repeatedly acknowledged being guilty of the murder,
remarking that what was done could not be undone, and
stating in extenuation of his crime that for several years he
had bad to contend with her bad habits, but that he did
not intend killing her. Yesterday he was brought up at
the police-court, and remanded.
THE ALLEGEII BURGLARY AND Award PTED
MLIWAS AT lemeteroe.—A few days ego we gave an
accountof a burglary and attanisted murder which it was
alleged had been committed at the house of Mrs.
Bland, the propnetreas of a scholastic establishment, at
42, Hallifordostreet, Islington, which now turns out to be
an entire fabrication. The account given was, that resid-
ing in the house were two srandsons of Mrs. Bland, aged
respectively 13 and 16, and that the latter, Charles George
Law, articled to au architect in the City, hearing his bed-
reran door closed about four o'clock in the morning,
fancied burglars were in the house ; that there-
upon he kit the room, went and knocked at the
door of his grandmother's room, and obtained •
sword, telling her robbers were in the hones, and that on
proceedinginto the kitchen the burglar (whom height
and general appearance he described) tired • pistol at
him, the shot passing throueh a teatray and entering the
kitchen wall. The Tad was then represented to have fol-
lowed the burglar, sword in hand, but falling over • table
the burglar escaped. The lad has now confessed to his
grandmother that it was he who fired the pistol, but that
he was afraid be should be punished, as no burglary
whatever had taken place, or, the subsequent attempted
murder.

The Nyanza, width left Southampton on Saturday, with
the India mail, wu (writes our correspondent; obliged to
anchor in 'Vermouth-roads until Sunday morning, in con-
sequence of the severity of the weather. The Hamburg
wed New York steamer Rammonia was unable to make
the Needles passage on Saturday Welt, on account also of
the weather, and was obliged to reach Cowu by the
eastern passage, round the Isle of Wight. The ship
North Briton, which was wrecked near Petuance on
Bunday, belonged to Alderman Ransom, of Southampton,
and was not insured. The majority of the seven men
lost in her were probably Southampton men.
BAILSGATE, lionAt Moraixo.

A tremendous gale of wind has been blowing,
amompanicd with Leavy showers of rain, since Saturday
afternoon, and it did not abate until this morning. About
eight o'clock last evening, as the fishing smack Fawn, of
this port (Miller, master), was entering the royal harbour,
the for...sheet gave way, which caused her to strike the
east pier, and she became a total wreck. Efforts were
immediately made by those on the pier to
save the crew, which consisted of the master,
two men, and two boys. Life-buoys and ropes
were thrown over to them, and the master and two
men vo re j ulled up. The two lads, however, were un-
fortunately drowned, and their bodies were picked up on
She sands this morning. Their names are William Hop-
kins, aged Is, and Frederick Auburn, between 14 and Li
years. Both lads belonged to London, Hopkins being a
runagate, and Auburn taken from the Bethnal-green
School. The harbour steamtug Aid him just gone out to a
large weed behind the Goodwin. The vemel is in tow of
a screw-steamer. which is signalling for aseistanee. The
Wade of a large house at Ft. Lawrence-on-the-Sea. in
eourse of erection by Mr. l'ugin, was wrecked last night
by the blowing down of the chimney.

SHOCKING OUTRAGE AT AHERDARE.—AK (ley was
dawning on Saturday morning a most atrocious outrage
was committed at a small f irm-houso in the oceupation
of Mr. Thema, Itiehard, on the slope of the mountain in
Cromdare, near Aberdare. At the time mentioned the
inmates of the house, ten in number, were thrown into a
state of excitement and alarm by a terrific explosion.
The men working at the Cromdarc Pit both saw and heard
the explosion, and hastened to the spot. They found a
small task of gunpowder had been placed in the dairy and
pantry, a train luid, and then fired. The roof of both
rooms was completely blown off; every domestic article
in them destroyed, and some articles of clothing banging
on lines in the kitchen were burnt. The whole of the
inmate, of the house were in bed at the time, and, mar-
vellous to relate, esesped uninjured. The man who
perpetrated the outrage ia said to be a Thomas Mori*
living at Aberaman. He was found by some workmen
near the farm, with his clothes burnt off him, and his
person burnt severely from his breast to his feet. In the
dairy was found a can, tumbrel's, and a collier's lamp,
which Morris's wife identified as belonging to her hus-
band, who lien in a precarious state.

the junediotion of the court to try the question.
The Vico-tliapeellor, without bearing a reply on the
CMS SUIIIOOIIA, said that upon the facts as had been
stated by Mr. Shipman his claim was dearly an extrava-

presentative, and he was of course entitled to his outlay
and to costs, in respect of which he might be
allowed 1001. As regards the second summons,
it was equally plain that the arrangement whereby
Mr. Shipman, being • confidential manager of the
bank, was to rec.live part of the profits of • specu-

Shipman must be ordered to pay 32,8221. within a
month from the service of the order, less the sum due to
him for his remuneration, and costs.

the action on. The plaintiff was still ready to accept an

The Lord Chief Justice asked why it was not done.
The defendant had no right to placard the plaintiff or any

been better if be bad taken no notice of it.
