THE GALES.

GREAT YARMOUTH, Scsfar Ninny.
Of the fleet of fishing needs caught in the gale
on Wednesday and Thursday last, the absence of which
had caused serious apprehension, the greater number came
in yesterday and to-day. Intelligence has been received of
others, so that at present, of the 200 or 300 vessels at sea,
there re not more than about 30 loggers and smacks unac-
counted for. It need scarcely be said that their appearance
is now hourly looked for with mush anxiety.
The effects of the gale are reported ea having been
disastrous. Most of the boats which had aka UMW net.
had to cut adrift from them when the wind shifted
suddenly on Tuesday morning, so jeopardised were
they by being entangled in them by the cross seas, which
an with terrific violence in the height of the gale. The
destruction of nets from this cause has been unprecedented,
as scarcely a boat was out which has not suffered more or
less. Other bode have in addition had span carried away,
bulwarks washed in, or been driven from their mooring.
ground with loss of anchors sad chains. As a set of nets
alone costs 2001., it is feared that the fishing interest will
suffer considerably, especially as the season has been till
now anything but remunerative. The rends which had
lain to were more fortunate, as next day they had a very
successful had, nearly 100 taste (1,000,000 fish) having been
delivered at the quay on Saturday.
The violence of the storm scattered the fleet In all direc-
tions. Some d the smacks which are engaged in the fresh
fishing have not been able to get in until what they had
taken had become worthless; others have been canted to

The crew of the brig John, of Shields, from Hartlepool for
London, with coda, Williams master, were received yester-
day into the Sailors' Home, having been landed here by the
hark Pearl, of Whitby, from Hartlepool for Dieppe with

hurricane from the N.N.E., and weather thick, with
rain, he was struck by a tremendous sea, which carried
away bulwarks, stanchions, ko., and made a clean sweep of
the main deck, which was stove in. The brig began to
maks water rapidly, and the men, being exhausted at the
pump, were to quit her in the longboat, and were
afterwards picked up by the Pearl. She was 144 tons

Since Thursday the weather here has been Sae, with sharp
frosts during the last two nights, and this morning the
ground is covered with snow. A frost has also set In this

RETIREMENT OF GENZZLL SCOTT.—In ptusuanoo
of a purpose announced by us some ten days since, and for
reasons which we than assigned, Lieutenant-General
Scott has withdrawn from active service, and, upon
his own application, been placed on the retired
list of the army of the United States. The incident
is one of universal interest, and was very properly made the
0001111011 of a simple but impressive ceremony. Upon re-
ceiving the general's application for leave to retire, the
President, attended by the cabinet, waited upon hiss at
his reiddence, and with every demonstration of respect and
honour, informed him that his request was granted. The
general replied in some unpremeditated remarks, full et
grateful emotion, expressing his ardent love of the Unica,
and his prayers for its preservation, and his cordial confi-
dence in the patriotism ani wisdom 6f the administratica.
It is understood that General Scott will return at once to

this city. General lit'Clellan takes the command of the
army by appointment of the President.—New York Tinue.

In a letter from London, in the Paris Moniker,
we read :—" The value and importance of the Elaperor'e
letter to the Minister of State appear greater in public
opinion than at first. The English press is unanimous is
applauding the policy adopted by his Majesty, and in pre-
dicting the best results from it. This satisfaction is is-
creased by a national interest The affairs of France are
so closely connected with those of England, that the hump.
ration of a system of economy in the former country is
regarded es the commencement of a similar one in thid.
The party of English economists will derive new force five
the example set by France, and, no doubt, the enorm.es
budget of England can no longer be defended with sums
by any minister."

Prince Napoleon gave a dinner on Saturday in
honour of IL Fold. The prince will shortly, it is said.
leave Paris for London, to preside at the organisation of the
Imperial Commission of the Universal Exhibit's, the
members of which are already in England. The prince sill
probably stay some time in London, as be will be actom•
peeled by two secretaries and several other persons attached
to hie household.

Galignani states that among the paper. of 3.
wealthy old gentleman, who died very suddenly in the
gardens of the Tuileries on Saturday, the ("flowing note,
dated so far back as 1845, was found :—" When I am dead.
I desire that my face shall be covered with a pitch plaster,
dosing entirely the nostrils so as to prevent a return to
life in Um grave ; and that afterwards a deep incision shall
be made in my heart. I wish to be buried without any

coffin, and I also desire that the earth shell be carefully
trodden down on my body."
