GALE ON THE WESTERN COAST, AND LOSS
OF LIFE-DESTRUCTION, BY FIRE OF A
STRAKER.

Within the put two dsye the western coat has been
visited by a hurricane, sues as has not been ewrieseisd
for a lengthened period—no gale of equal severity, or of
so lengthened duration had taken place eines Jan. 7,1839.
About midday of Tuesday, the wind rose to a considerable
height. Gradually it increased till about 12 o'clock at eight,
when it blew a complete hurricane. At first tie wind was
from the 8.5. W., v.eri, g, u the eels increased in strength,
to W.S. W. ; ultimately it flied at W.N W., when the burn.
cane continued to blow with r. doubled vigatir. It attained
its height abut 4 o'clock La Wednesday morning, and eon.
tinned for furl y three hours with tremendous force. During
the whole of Wednesday it still blew with much violence,
while at intervals heavy falls of rain and ht it took place.
From inland situations we learn that in the towns a,tl
villages of the county of Ayr, as well as is the more exposed
landward districts, no small amount of damage has ban
dons; but that sinks into insignifkance when compared with
the serious events which have occurred in the Firth melds,
and the disasters sustained by the shipping in the ports along
the coast.

scarcely any variation from Tuesday. The negotia- so

The premium on gold yesterday at Paris was 111
per mills, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17e. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 23 431; and the exchange at Paris on
Lordon at short being 25.45, it follows that gold is
0.06 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By last mail the price of gold at Hamburg we
4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint Rnce of
131. 17e. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.91; and the exchange at Hamburg
on London at short being 13.101, it follows that gold
is 0.17 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
By last advice. the comae of exchange at New
York on London, for bills at 130 days sight, is 108
per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that
the exchange is nominally 1 68 per cent. against
Esglind. But after making allowance for difference
of interest, and charges of transport, the present rate
does not admit of gold being exported to the United
States.

At Ayr, the leer number of vessels in the harbour, and
the heavy fresh in the river, conabieed to render the hur-
ricane more serious in its results than it might otherwies ham
been. Many vessels broke from their moorings, aid
reeriud cesaiderable damege. The suss of contusion and
disorder wee heightened by other miner oentererees which
eamsty gall, however, for special notice, although Involving,

VINIZLO ASHOIIt ow Tin CARHICK.COAIIT.--SIX Max
DIOWNID.—The casualties on the wild rockbound coast of
Carrick ere possessed of a deeper and more melancholy in-
terest than any of the others we have to record, inaamuch as
they have then attended by the sacrifice of six human lives.
At 9 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, the barque
Margaret, of Greenock (Nonies), bound with a cargo of
extort for Greenock, having left New Orleans on the 91st of
December, went ashore about a quarter of a mile to the north
of Miami*. Sae went ashore stern on; ropes were
speedily parsed to the shore, and be the aid of a
number of Dorms fishermen, whose seal and
activity merit due praise, the crew were safely
reined from their perilous position. About two o'clock
one of the crew, a young man, a native of Aberdeen, fancied
that by swimming to the vessel he might be able to bring his
cheat ashore. Arriving at his destination after great exer-
tion, he caught hold of a rope's end suspended from the aide
of the torque. He seemed to be much fatigued ; and, alter
holding on for about 20 minutes, he became so entirely over.
come, that he sank exhausted into the see, and was drowned.
In the eircomitsects it was utterly impossible that any aid
could have been extended to t. e misguided and ill-fated
young gum. The ship will probably become a total wreck;
but should the weather moderate, the cargo may be saved.
About seven o'clock on Wednesday morning, the sloop
Clanehloudon (Kevin), bound from Creetown, to which
port she belongs, to Irvine, went ashore in Cancan Bay.
The crew, comLtimg of three hands, all saved. The same
morning the barque Jubilee, of Sunderland (WOregor),
bound from Troon to Smyrna, with coals, went ashore on
Brest Reck, four miles north of Oinen. Many attempts
were made to reach the barque, but in vain. The crew,
amounting to ten men, took to the small boat, which, how-
ever, shortly grounded upon a rock, and three of the men
wof oat of the boat for the, purpose of pushing it off, and
ere left on the rock. The beet had net got well off when a
huge sea tolled over it; it instantly filled, and went down
like a stone. One of the men, by extraordinary exertion,
d to swim within ranch of an intrepid lad, who
ersilliZethrough the surf and brought him ashore ; while the
captain, who had attached a life buoy to his person, was
imbed inshore, and by a desperate effort on the part of the
same lad, brought from duper water. The other five men
who were in the boat perished, and were carried out by
the strong current. In the meantime, the three poor fellows
left on the rock were reused from their dangerous situation
by two young fishermen, who deserve especial notice for
their heroic tannin in venturing on thew noble minion
amid the terrible breakers that raged with such unbridled
fury. The first mate, who perished, wet Mr. W. Andante,
sou of the owner of the Jubilee. The vessel is now lying un
her beam-end., sad thus is no doubt that she will become a
total wreak.
NADIONIAN. ISLE or ARRAN STNANZII BURNID.
If there were no disasters here directly resulting from the
gale, the blank was fully filled up by the almost total de-
em/Ana, by fire, of the Isle of Ansa steamer (Captain
Blackley), which plies between this port and the island
whose name the vessel bears. The steamer was to have
sailed oa Tuesday. But this not having been carried into
effect, and the boat being advertised to sail oa the follow-
ing (Wednesday) merging, her fires were kept on, and
she was ready to start, when, about four o'c
dames were perceived circling Brow d the fonnel,lal
over the top of the boilers. the orders of Messrs. Barr
and Shearer, the men ennagßy in their shipballellarpre
was soon on the spot. From the control that the Samos had
acquired over the vessel, as well as from the met weather,
the sal alternative left by which they might sew the
rei part of the steamer was adopted, via., the seiMlbsg
of the beat. Thu was immediately caned into effect, and
be Isle of Area melt about five o'clock. She was burned
down to the water's edge from the funnel aft. Nothing
whatever was rescued from the steamer, so that no incon-
siderable amount of valuable property has been sacrificed.
She was the property, we believe, of a joint stock compael.
