DEPARTURE.
Aug. 12. Bacchante cutter, Benj. Jones, Esq., for
Portsmouth, to repair damage.

It has been blowing
a heavy gale during the whole of
yesterday and to-day, attended with torrents of rain.
The yachts coming up from Plymouth and the other
western ports, mast have had more wind than they could
well manage, and their arrival here is looked for with
much anxiety. Numbers of fine trees have been blown
down or much damaged, as has been the corn.
VENTNOR, Ana. 12.—We have been visited by one of
the most violent storms ever remembered; it has been
raging for the last twentpfour hours most furiously,
Houses, trees, fruits, and the crops have all suffered
severely. None of the steamers between Hyde and
Portsmouth attempted to make the passage yesterday
after 11 A se. The Cowes steamers continued .plying,
but the London mail did not reach Ventnor till late la
the day.
SOUTHAMPTON REGATTA, AUG. 12. The storm
raged so violently here yesterday (Wednesday), that
may of the yachts received considerable damage. One
youeg man was drowned, and numerous boats and vea•
gels ariven on shore or sunk. The gale was so violent
this morning that it became necessary to postpone the
regale; in fact, it would have been madness to think
of sailing for pleasure in such a storm. Considerable
damage has also been done on shore, trees uprooted and
houses unroofed. Great anxiety was excited for the
safety of the Q.icen, but providentially the storm did
not reach her floating mansion.

The fate for the Rail way Guards, Widows, and
Orphans Fund, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens on Monday
next, hies fair to be the most attractive of the season. A
grand vocal and instrumental concert, in which Bottessini
and Miss Cicely Nott (for this night only), Richardson,
Lazarus, and a host of talent, will perform. A display of
fireworks of unusual splendour by the renowned Southby ;
and, to assist the endeavour, we understand that the directors
of the various railways have come forward in the most
praiseworthy manner.
We are requested to state that the Convocation of
the Clergy of the province of Canterbury will not assemble
until the day following the meeting of Parliament for the
dispatch of business. The writs are returnable on the 21st
inst., but the meeting will be prorogued on that day, by the
Vicar-General of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in pur-
suance of the royal writ.— Times.

ACCIDEIVT ON THE LIVERPOOL AND SOUTHPORT
RAILWAY.—A serious disaster occurred on Wednesday night
between Waterloo and Crosby. The train which ought to
have quitted Southport at nine P.M. did not leave until
about a quarter past, and the engineer, anxious to save time,
put on additional speed. The oscillation in consequence,
was very great; and, when arrived at the locality alluded
to, the engine, probably in consequence of the sinking of a
portion of the rails, sprang off the line, breaking loose en-
tirely from the carriages, and coming in contact with an
embankment of sand, was, together with the tender, turned
completely over. The engine-driver and stoker are severely
injured, the former, we are informed, having his ribs, and
the letter both his legs, broken; while both are badly cut
about the head and face. None of the passengers, fortunately,
were hurt, though much shaken by the concussion, as the
leading carriage also came violently against
olfhethbpearneck.

caused. Another engine was procured as soon as arranglefa-
ments could be made for the purpose, and the train arrived
in Liverpool about twelve o'clock. The rails were torn upat
the spot where the accident occurred, and the engine d
tender, we understand, are a complete wreck. an
