THE LATE HURRICANE.

The Provincial Papers received to-day -supply some few
further details of the effects of the late storm in their several
localities, but there is of course much of sameness in the par-
ticulars ; we shall, therefore, select a few only of the more
interesting, beginning with the
WRECKS:—

Tea Locitwoons.—There seems to be but one opinion as
to the conduct of the crew of the Victoria, who shamefully
abandoned the ♦essel, under the pretence of not having coal
enough to carry her to Liverpool. We should not have thus
publicly exposed their conduct, had it not been that a threat of
abandonment was held out unless a sufficient remuneration
was given, and some hard and unfeeling language was made
use of to the crew and passengers. The company will, we
hope, make strict inquiry into the conduct of the Captain and
crew of the Victoria.—Liverpool Standard.
We are told the Government is seriously determined to clear
Spithead of the wreck of the Royal George, and that Colonel
Paisley is forthwith to undertake the business.
HURRICANE —The loss of life sustained by the hurricane in
Liverpool, the river, and on the coast, has been enormous; but
with respect to the two latter, the positive information we
have probably falls short of the truth. In the town and
neighbourhood nine persons were killed or died of suffocation;
in the river seventeen are known to have been drowned, and
on the banks 89 ; making a total •f at least 115,—Liverpool
Mercury.

Loss OF TIIR FRAXCIS. —We regret to learn that this fine
ship, well known as a trader between this port and New York,
is lost. The following extract of a letter, dated New York,
19th Dec., with which we have been favoured, gives the par.
ticulars :—" The Francis, Griffiths, is lost on her voyage
hence to Mobile ; she struck upon a sand-bank near the en-
trance of that harbour, and has bilged. She will be a total
loss. A fine New York ship, the Severn, went at same time,
and a Philadelphia brig, all lost. The weather was mild, but
foggy, and I believe they had all pilots on board."—Glasgow
Chronicle.

WRECK OF THE TOM'? CdSTLE,—Among other casua
ties, the Torbet Castle steamer was wrecked on the Cow
shore, but fortunately no lives lost. It is stated as a curious
fact, that on the night of the storm the barometer was lower
than during its extraordinary depression on the 30th of No•
vember last.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Arrivals this morning—two French, two Ostend, one Dutch,
and four Hamburgh mails. Arrived also a mail from Malta,
by the Tagus, sailed from Malta the 27th December, Gibral-
tar the 3d January, Cadiz 4th January, Lisbon 6th January,
and Vigo Bth January.
We have received New Brunswick Papers to the 16th
December, but they are void of interest, and Gibralter Chro-
nicles to the Ist of January.
The ship Hercules (on board of which floats the flag of
Rear- Admiral Lalande, the Santi Petri, and the corvette
Favourite, sailed from Tunis on the 29th ult., for the Levant,
where they are to be shortly joined by the brigs Palermo and
Bongainville.:Pni the schooner Mesanges. The French squa-
dron of the Mediterranean is_ for the present to be composed
only of these six vessels. The Spanish news which the above
Papers contain has been anticipated by the French Papers.
Malta Papers received to Dec. 27.
Posted at the North and South American Coffee-house, Li-
pool.—Extract of a letter received this morning :—" Letters
from the Pennsylvania, which have not been claimed, or
too much mutilated, will be forwarded per the Hiber-
nia. The letter-bags of the Si. Andrew: have been
saved, and most of them will be forwarded per the
Roscius. Nearly the whole of the cargo of the two ships
have been saved, but in a damaged state. I have seen a
Captain of the steamer from the Pensylvania ; it is his
opinion that both the St. Andrew and the Pensylvania will be
saved, the hulls not being much injured ; but the larboard
side of the Lochwoods has gone in.

We have numerous arrivals this morning of Foreign mails,
but upon the whole they do not bring any news of much im-
portance, consequently to the present hour there is not much
business doing in the various Funds.

Consols, which closed on Saturday at 944 1 for the open-

DEATH OF A CHILD BY DRINKING SCALDING
WATER.—The mother was preparing tea, and had just
taken the kettle off' the crook, and put it on the hob, and
was in the act of going across the floor to set the table,
when the deceased put the-spout to his nicuth and drank
of it, and so much scalded himself that he died at about ten
minutes to six the following morning.—Kendal Mercurp
