sot, but becoming settled as morning broke, and so it
continues.
Very considerable damage has been the result of the
gale—trees have bees destroyed, balconies carried away,
houses much injured, and the Marina, from the Marine
Police to its entire extremity, so dweeged as to require
months to repair; in one instance the strong iron door
of a store was washed in, and great damage caused to
its contents,
Considerable damage has been done to the shipping
by vessels driving ono against the other, and the most
painful loss of life from vessels wrecked. Happily in
the list we have no losses among our own countrymen,
or the mercantile navy of England. The losses that
have been reported are ets follows:—
A Neapolitan mistico, the Giecomina, D. La Camera,
master, from Messina, with planks, sugar. and manufac-
tures, capsized between Fort Ricesoli and Si.. Elmo; the
crew, 'eight in number, perished, save two, who were
saved by the English schooner Northern, Disney, master.
The Austrian brig Angelo.from Alexandria to Liverpool.
Tornanovich master, and laden with wheat, bans, and
cotton, struck on the point Ricasoli, and foundered off
Bighi, captain and nine men lost, two saved by clinging
to a plank and taken on board the Northam.
A Neapolitan tartana, the San Francesco di Paolo, is a
total wreck, having gone on shore near the powthr-
magazine; crew saved, and a few barrels of sardines.
An Ottoman brig, the Meshoud, with beans, is an en-
tire wreck; crew saved.
A Greek brie, the 'molls, with wheat, for Cork or
Falmouth, has been on shore, but luckily escaped with
loss of rudder.
A Neapolitan and Greek bottom, name not yet reached,
are on shore in one of the harbours on the coast;
crew saved.
The Norma has boon driven into the Bay of Melleha,
and Ilse ridden cut the gale. The sea is still rough, but
the wind has considerahly abated.
Letters from Athens, received to-day, announce the
departure of the fleet under Admiral Dundee on the
11th inst. for Corfu and Malts.
The Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands,
with one of his sons, two daughters, and two aides-de-
camn. hod arrived at Athena and left for Corfu.
King Otho was expected on his return to Athens
about the let proximo.
The Turkish capitalists, delighted that the Sultan
would not ratify the leen for 50,000,000 f,, have already

e'r Crombie, the law clerk and prosecuting solicitor
to the company, and Alfred Morgan, Esq., the company's
treasurer, attended to prosecute. The prisoner was un-
defended.
Mr. Combie, in opening the case, said he should not be
able, owing to the ahsence of Mr. Wyndham Herding,
the secretary, who bad resigned his situation on the day
before, to proceed beyond the fact of placing before his
worship sufficient evidence to justify him in remanding
the prisoner. Ho then called
Mr. Alfred Morgan, who said—l am treasurer to the
London and South Western Railway Company; and my,
office is at the company's principal station in the Water-
loo-road. The prisoner has been in the service of the cern •
pany as chief clerk in the traffic department for some years.
There is an account kept with the Board of Green Cloth
for the carriage of linen, &c., of her Majesty from Rich-
mond to the different palaces, and it is called the "Royal
Laundry Account." This accotit:is made up once a
quarter, and the book in which it was kept was in the
office of, and the amount received by the prisoner. In the
month of August 1 discovered that the "Royal Laundry
Account" bad not been settled, or at least did not appear
to have been subsequent to December 31, 1851, at which
time a cheque for 2941. had been received. From a corre-
spondence which I had with Mr. Cockswell I found that a
cheque for 3031. 4s 2d had been paid to the prisoner on
the " Royal Laundry Account," for which he had given
no credit on the book, and which he denied receiving
when I spoke to him. I had previously directed the
prisoner to write and get the account settled, and subse-
quently wrote a letter, which I directed him to take to
Mr. Hill, of the Board of Green Cloth, but I have every
reason to believe that the prisoner never delivered it. I
afterwards received a communication from Mr. Harding,
the secretary, and on my waiting on him he (Mr. Hard-
ing) told me that the prisoner was deficient in his ac-
count, and handed me the account now produced, in the
prisoner's handwriting. In this document he made out
items alleged to be due to him, amounting to 1581. is,
and admitted a deficiency of 1931. 16e, which made up
up the amount of the cheque.
Mr. Elliott—Was it the prisoner's duty to pay over to
you the cheque for 309/. 4s 2d as soon as he received it?
Mr. Morgan—Certainly, air, and in the same way as
he received it.
Mr. Elliott—ls he allowed to change cheques?
Mr. Morgan—Certainly not; it is his duty to hand
over to me a I moneys and cheques in the same way as
he receives them.
Sergeant Bent was here asked if the prisoner had made
any admissions or statements to him when he appre-
ended him, and he replied in the negative.
Mr. Cromhie here said that this was all the evidence
he bad to offer at present, hut on the next examination
be should be prepared to produce the prisoner's acknow•
ledgments for the amounts received by him on the
"Royal Leureiry Account," and which would clearly
show the sums he has net accounted for.
The prisoner, after being cautioned by the magistrate,
was asked if he wished to say anything in reply to the
charge? He replied that there was one question which
he wished to ask Mr. Morgan, and that was. whether the
secretary did not say he would arrange the affair for
him, anti that he need not trouble himself any further in
the matter ?
Mr. Morgan omitted answering the question, and the
prisoner was remanded.

A SWINDLER.—A young man, aged about 26,
rather tall, fair complexion, with sandy whiskers, and of
gentlemanly appearance and address, has been victi-
mizing several persons in Liverpool, Manchester, &c., by
representing himself as connected with the firm of Peter
Lawson and Son, of Edinburgh. The first instance in
which ho succeeded was with a house of high standing.
in Liverpool ; the next on a private individual in the
same town ' • then upon a military officer, quartered at
the time in Manchester ; and the last instance, so far as
is known, was upon mother officer at Winchester. both
these gentlemen being connected with high families in

THE JeCICEY Cum.—Last week the election of a

The joint committee, therefore, for the ensuing year, is
thus composed:—For the Jockey Club—lion. Captain
Roue, Mr. Payne, Mr. J. M. Stanley; for the Subscrip-
tion Room—Mr. Rudeton Read, Mr. Byron, Mr. Jacques.
We would earnestly recommend the committee to cause
some improvement to be made in the rings at the Duke's
Stand and on the Flat. The state in which they have
been of late is a scandal upon the Jockey Club.

The inspection of the Buffs took place on Tuesday
evening before Lieutenant-General Fergusson and his
stair, on the parade-ground at Florian. Lieutenant-
General Lerd F. Fitzelarenco was also present.
The movements were but few—marching in review or-
der slow and quick time, breaking the regiment into
skirmishers, changing front, forming independent squares,
&c.—but the movements were performed with admirable
precision. General Ferguson having first complimented
Lieutenant-Colonel Van Stranbenzee on the high state
of efficiency of his corps, Lord Fitz°Terence rode up to
him, and, having stated that ho had commanded a regi-
ment for a quarter of a century, observed, that iu all his
experience he had never seen a finer body of men under
arms than the Buffs, nor a corps which executed their
manceavres more steadily or with greater precision.
