DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—Without scarcely a pre.
monitary notice, the winter seems fairly to have set
in at this side of the Channel. Yesterday morning
the wind changed to a north-easterly point, and at
noon commenced one of the heaviest and most inces-
sant falls of rain that has taken place for several years
past. It came down in a complete cataract, seem-
pied by a full gale of wind, which lasted throughout
the rest of the day and the whole of last night. This
morning the weather is, if possible, even more severe.
All the inland mails were overdue at the Post-office
by nearly two hours, and the delivery of letters and
papers will be consequently greatly delayed to-day.
The streets are flooded by the; continous rains, and
nothing can be more dismal than the prospect out of
doors.

A correspondent of the Freeman thus describes
the effects of the storm at Kingstown yesterday
evening :
"7 o'clock, P.ra.—While I am now writing the sea
presents to the eye of those who may not have witnessed
a similar scene a grand but awful sight, the waves roll-
ing in with tremendous fury, and, as far as the eye can
reach, presents OD3 sheet of foam. In the distance,
towards Dalkey &mind, I can distinctly perceive the
spray breaking over the high land in that locality. The
railway steamer from ll,lyhead will, I am. afraid, en-
counter its full fury; but, from what I know of these
vessels, I am well satiLfi d their steaming and sailing
qualities will enable the Scotia now on her passage, to
reach the harbour in safety.

" 19 o'clock, P.M.—Baroineter ranges from 29 to 29.5.
The gale still rsges with unabated fury—the vessels in
harbour making for its eastern prirti,m to secure them
from the terrific blest, and a wicked sea tumbling in.
The back of the east pier preset is at this moment a
grand scene—the waves rolling bang over it, and descend-
ing on the promenade with a noise equalling thunder.
The railway steamer not yet in sight. The parties on
shore connected with her are now throwing up rockets,
as a signal that it is altogether impossible to come along-
side the jetty—even to land at the Wolf is a question.
In this case she must come to an anchor, and tend her
passengers in her boats—a tedious but necessary service.
"11 o'clock—Frightful sea in the harbour. Mercury
falling. A steamer has made her apperrance in the har-
bour (west side), but the parties on shore dare not reach
her—no boat could near it. lam afraid she has got into
collision with the small craft at anchor there; it is im-
possible to discern her, but it is supposed she has steamed
out again. The waves—regular waves—crossing bang
over the east pier, and the wind shifting continuhty,
throw a heavy and dangerous sea on the jetty. Blue
lights outside—evidently, from their repetition, some
vessel in distress; but in such a sea succour is nest to an
impossibility. _ _

;‘ Half-past 11—Gale still on the increase. The
e its steamer I have before alluded to has not mad appear-
ance since. I am afraid we shall have bud
news in the
morning, g
as blue lights are still burning south of the
Kish Light. Landing now at the Wolf
impossible.
"12 o'clock—The Scotia has just arrived. .Ml the
pisseogerscane on shore safe. She could not land ht
any of the jetties; had to east anchor in the harbour.
Storm still on the increat,e."

FOREIGN CATTLE.—The importations of cattie
from the continental States of Europe have for several weeks
past been of a very extensive character. The total arrivals
of foreign cattle into the port of London alone, itli4eu-
dentiv of those at the outports, amounted last week to con-
siderably more than 13,000 head of stock of all kinds. Of
these there were about 11,000 sheep, besides about 2,,00
head of horned cattle, and a proportionate quantity of other
descriptions of stock. The great supplies of sheep are f-,rn
Holland, which also exports large numbers of horned M
and other cattle, the increase in the number of oxen ar.t.l
Cows being caused by the large and important arrival" from
Denmark and the Hanseatic states.
