About eight o'clock share wave was seen rolling in, which
instead of breaking. as is nasal, at the edge of the
beach, retained its strength until arriving at the summit
of the pebble bank, when it buret, and with tremendous
power hurled tons of amain all directions. This midden
overflow was so great that a strong dons wall, forming
the fencing garden, and 10e yards ablaut frees the

The sca was so high, that in and around the Fatima
railway station the place was completely doodad. On
the platform the water was nearly
extending as fsr as the signal-poi,-td%

petuous that a portion of the railway was washed
away. The first train from W th to Portland,
leaving at 7.30 a.m., was compelled to set down its pas-
scorn several hundred yards from the station, the water
on the line being close up to the at aras el the car-
riages. From that time up to 1.46 p.m. the bathe was
suspended, but in the meantime plenty of amistmes had

Some comment was caused in 'Weymouth from the fact of

SOUTRAMPTON, WEDNIRDLT.

It has been blowing and raining for the lad
three days ; sometimes the wind has approached a hurri-
cane. The West ludas steamer Shannon, which arrived
at Plymouth on Sunday night, only arrived here this
morning with her passengers and cargo; the Latter can-
silting of a large quantity of bullion. Last night the
wind blew terrifically, and oontinued to do so until eight
o'clock this morning, when a vivid flash of Hue lightning
was seen, which was immediately succeeded by one of the
moat startling claps of thunder ever bean,. Since then
the wind has modetated, but is now commencing to blow
hard agaiNand there it every prospect of • boisterous night.
This wind is chiefly from the south-west. No serious
damage lies bven done ai the town or harbour.
POOLE, DEC. 16.

Last night (states Mr. (1. N. Penney) rocket
signals of distress were fired near this place, and the
Manley Wood lifeboat, of the Lifeboat Society, was
launched, and found the Ls Jeune Erneste on shore.
The crew, who were in • very exhausted state, were
rescued by the lifeboat and brought safely to Poole. The
vessel was on a voyage from Brest to Caen. The lifeboat
DUO went to the Augustine, from Port L'Abbe to Havre,
with salt, and rendered inemtance, and that vessel is now
safely in harbour.
1001 F (CORNWALL). Mr . 14.
This afternoon. during a gale from the south-
west (states Mr. R. Thomas), a vessel was seen in distress
off Looe Island. The lifeboat Oxfordshire, belonging to
the National Lifeboat Institution, was promptly lauachod
through • heavy surf to her aseritaners and succeeded in
bringing her and the crew 'safely into harbour. The
vessel was the Schooner Mail, bound from Rouen to
Glasgow, with a cargo of grain. She had left Plymouth
on Sunday, and had made the Lizard liglA, when she
encountered • tremendous gale, and shipped several heavy
rear, which shifted the cargo. The master. who was •
stranger to this rest, then tried to run to the land, and
would have beached his ship, if possible, had he not for-
tunately rounded Looe Island and come in where he dbl.
The vessel is not mach damaged. • The prompt assistance
rendered by the lifeboat, there is no doubt, saved the
schooner from certain destruction, and probably tho lives
of the crew also.- •
MARGATE, Dsc. 15.

In continuation of his former report, Mr. E.
Isaacson now gives the details of the service rendered by
the lifeboat Queer, lerf the Lifeboat Society. It appears
that the boat was Winched in a strong wind from SB. W.
and heavyrain in reply to signal, from the lightship in
the Prince's Chantkl. ,She proceeded across the Margate
and Tongue Sands and up the Channel, and found the
I Mudy_ La Jenne Fanny on the Cr irdler Sand in a heavy
F4ll. With much difficulty the boat was taken alongside,
and her swixtanre way requested by the ma: ter. Some of
the lifthuat's crew were then put on board. a pros of
canvas aas got on the vessel. and she was forced over the
bunk, the tide rising at the time, and brought
into Margate Harbour. From the position in which
this ship lay she must soon have been broken up. and the
crew drowned, had not the lifeboat gone to her aid. S;,,
was constantly under water, the sea repeatedly making a
complete breach over her and the lifeboat, and the service
of the boat was attended with much danger to her and
the crew. The Ramsgate lifeboat Bradford, and the steam
tug Aid were also taken out to the assistance of thesame
vessel, but their services were not required.
11AUXLEY (NORTHUMBEICLAND), Dice. 14.
The lifeboat Algernon and Eleanor, belonging
to the Lifeboat Society, and stationed at this pbiee, went
out at midnight yesterdayduring a gale from E.S.E., and
in a very heavy sea, in reply to signals from the brig
Florian, of Amble, which had struck on the Pan Bush
Rock. When, however, the boat reached the ',meal the
crew declined to leave, and she therefore returned to
shore. Ultimately • steamer succeeded in towing the
brig into harbour.
