HEAVY GALE AND SNOW-STORM.

The accounts received on Saturday at Lloyd's from
various outports speak of a very heavy gale, ranging
from the S.W. to the N.E., accompanied in the more
northern districts by snow, having swept the coast on
Thursday night and Friday morning. The weather
during the week had been exceedingly tempestuous, but
as dusk set in on Thursday the wind gradually increased
till it blew a violent gale. The result of its fury is too
sadly told in a long list of casualties which have come
to hand. In several instances there has been a serious
loss of life, in addition to a considerable destruction of
i property.
The colliers trading from the Tyne and the Tees to
the Thames and southern ports have suffered considera-
bly. Between eight and nine o'clock on Thursday
evening, during the height of the gale, and the snow
falling heavily, no fewer than nine brigs and one
schooner were driven ashore in Robin Hood's Bay,
between Scarborough and Whitby, and it is feared that
most of them will become wrecks. They are the
Earl Bathurst, Jones, of Hartlepool; Swan, David-
son, of Sunderland ; Marion, Walters, of Exe-
ter ;- Athens and Hebe, of Shields ; Emily,
Gibson, of North Shields ; Veronica, Robinson, of
Scarborough; 'William, Watson, of Hartlepool ; and
the Miriam, of Sunderland. They lie amongst rocks and
large stones, and two of the vessels have since gone to
pieces. Most providentially the whole of the crews
were saved. Similar fearful weather was experienced
ioff the mouth of the Tyne. The snow fell heavily,
with a heavy sea on the bar. In attempting to make
the harbour the barque Sharp, of Newcastle, drove upon
the Hard Sand. Another barque, the Medium, Blyth,
from Liverpool, shared a similar fate upon the same
sand. Both crews were preserved by the life-boat, which
pushed up through a tremendous sea in the most gallant •
style. Nearly twenty colliers are reported to have foun-
dered, either from spririging a leak in consequence of
their heavy labouring, or being in collision,. on the
north-eastern coast. They were the Sir Henry Webb,
brig, from Newcastle to the Thames ; abandoned off the
Dudgeon. Tke William Hutt, brig, of Scarborough;
abandoned near Lowestoft. The John. and Isabella,
brig, from the Tyne to London, went down in thirteen'
fathoms off Southwold. The Mayflower, from London;
to Hartlepool; abandoned near Flamborough Head.
The brig Pallas, Captain Rook, from Shields for. London,
went down on the Sizewell Bank, and the master, mate,, , •
and. three of the seamen drowned. The schooner
James Dixon, from the Tyne for Shields; abandoned,
after being in collision on Thursday night. The Jane
Heatley, from Warkworth for Boulogne, sprang a leak,
and foundered some fifty miles of Flambolough Head.
The Jane Baxter, from the Tyne to Maldon, foundered,
after being in contact. The schooner Copy, of and from
Sunderland for Southampton- after being in collision.
The schooner Express, from Hartlepool for Rochester.
The Syron, from Shields to Landon, abandoned some
forty miles off the Humber. The Clydeside brig, of '.
Colchester, from Shields, sunk after being in collision
between the Cutter and the Whiting Sands. The Severn,
of Colchester, abandoned off the Spurn. The Tranby,
from the. Tyne to London, sunk off the Spurn. The
schooner Ulysses, from Newcastle for Wells, sunk iii
Ryhope; and the Jane of Berwick, abandoned off Flans-
borough. This list does not include what may be called
coasting and trading vessels, which appear to have sus-
tained many disasters.
Higher up on the eastern coast "there were several
casualties :—The Aurora, Increase, of Harwich, reports
a schooner sinking on the, inner part of the Shipwash,
on Thursday evening. - An English flag was flying in-
her rigging', and she was supposed to be about 200 tons.
Another schooner was seen to have sunk about two miles
below the SW buoy of the Shipwash. The fate of the .
crews is uncertain. It is thought that the latter vessel
had been in collision.

A boat, bearing the name of George Duncan, Dundee, ;
was picked up a few miles to the southward of Old-
borough. It contained two oars, eleven bags of clothes,
five flags, and a quadrant and compass, but nothing had
been seen of the crew.

A very disastrous loss is announced to have taken
place in Freshwater Bay, between Milford Haven and -
Tenby. The Spanish barque Carlo, bound to London
from Smyrna, went ashore, and became a loss, and a
boat; which left the ship, containing the captain abid six
of the hands had not been heard of since, and it is
believed that they have perished. The remainder of the,
crew succeeded in reaching the shore. •

ADVANCE OF COLLIERS' WAGES AT LEEDS.--During
the last few months many of the coalmasters in the
nei,ghbourhood of Leeds have advanced the wages of
their colliers to the standard at which they were prior
to their reduction in 1858. Several applications having
been made by the colliers employed by Messrs. Lassy
and Wilcock and Mr. Garside, whose works are adjacent
to York-road, Leeds, for a similar advance, these firms
were not willing to comply with the request. The
colliers, therefore, gave up work on Saturday last. On
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, interviews took
place between the masters and workmen, and ultimately
the masters complied with the request of the colliers,
land agreed to pay the prices of 1858,
