THE GALE.

HOLYHEAD, Wednesday.
The gale and high spring tides have interrupted
communication to an unusual extent. The Irish
mail due at two p.m. on Tuesday was delayed for
three hours. Near Bagilt, a station on the loft side
of the estuary of the Dee, both lines of way had
been washed up, and the trains were only enabled
to pass slowly over rails temporarily laid. At
the Abergele station the railway is on a level with
the sea at high water, which on Tuesday broke
through and over the embankment, and covered the
line to a height of 6ft. The train had to wait up-
wards of two hours, till the tide had partially sub-
sided. At Penmaenmawr, where three years ago
immense damage was inflicted during the gale
known as the " storm of the Royal Charter,"
the embankment withstood all the shocks of
the tempest. It was deemed advisable to
suspend all traffic for Tuesday, the up and down
Irish mails being delayed at Holyhead and Chester
respectively. On Wednesday one line of way was,
by great exertions, made workable, so that traffic was
resumed. In Holyhead Bay, during the high tide
on Tuesday morning, the water came pouring over
the whole length of the breakwater. file work is
now so far advanced that the damage done is not by
any means extensive. Many ships came in on Mon-
day, but only three sought refuge here on Tuesday
during the height of the gale. Of these three two,
ran ashore. No blame, however, is attributable to
the anchorage, as in each case the cause of the mis-
fortune is to be traced to some derangement in the
anchoring tackle of the ships themselves. One was
the Medea, previously referred to in The Sun ; the
other was a Wexford steamer. Both can be got off
again.

CARDIFF, Wednesday.
The tremendous gale which set in on Monday
night continned with slight intermission until this
morning. During Monday night the Russian bark
Henrich Sorenson, from Bordeaux for Cardiff, in
ballast, struck against the rocks at Breaksea Point,
Bristol Channel, and became a complete wreck. The
captain and crew stayed in the vessel till daylight,
when assistance was rendered by the villagers, and
after great difficulty the whole were pulled through
the breakers and saved. The United States steam
tug, belonging to this port, having been missing
since Sunday, fears were entertained for her safety,
and it was generally supposed she was lost. A tele-
gram, however, received this evening gives the in-
formation that she got into Ilfracombe all safe. The
bark Nazerne, of New York, has been driven from
her moorings in the Cardiff Roads, and ran aground
this morning. She was outward bound and laden
with coal. Her bottom has received considerable
damage, but the full extent of injury is not yet as-
certained. The ships in the docks stood the gale
well, the only casualty being that of the American
brig Reynard. She broke from her moorings on
Tuesday and ran against the quay wall, causing
considerable damage.

Fatal Case of Poisoning at Hull.

A singular and suspicious case of poisoning was
brought to light in Hull on Tuesday last, at an in-
quest held touching the death of a respectable
widow named Catherine Ann Hallett, who died
suddenly at her residence in Davis street, Bond-
street, on Saturday last, from the effects of an ad-
ministration of opium. It appears that the deceased,
who was a sempstress in the employ of Mr Wilhe,
merchant tailor, Whitefriargate, on New Year's Eve
had been present at a temperance festival, and re-
tinned home in a perfect state of health, and, as
stated by the witnesses, sober. Shortly after her
return, her opposite neighbour, Mr. George South-
wick, grocer, went to her house, and asked permis-
sion to bring in a table which he wanted to secure
from bailiffs. As he was in liquor at the time, she
said she would go across and fetch it herself. She
did so. As soon as she entered Southwick's shop, he
invited her inside, and asked her to take a
glass of back beer. She declined the offer, but,
after repeated requests and frequent protestations
on the part of Southwick that there was no spirit
in it, as she was a tee-totaller, she drank it. She had
no sooner swallowed it than she was taken ill, be-
gan to vomit, and shortly afterwards became insen-
sible. Southwick then summoned the assistance of
his neighbours, and said the deceased was ill from
drink. They believed her to be intoxicated, and
assisted him in putting her to bed. Late on in the
day of the 2d inst., not appearing to improve, the
neighbours advised Southwick to procure medical
assistance. He went for Dr. Kelburne King, who
atteneed, and after making minute examination of
her appearance, he pronounced her to have been
poisoned with opium. He asked Southwick why
he did not call him or some other medical gentleman
before. He said he wished to do so, but the neigh-
bours thought she was merely drunk, that it would
pass off, and they did not like to expose her. The
doctor asked him if she had had any drink in his
house. He answered, "A glass of beer and a glass
of black-beer." Upon being questioned by the
doctor as to whether he had admieistered any
poison, he answered in a very incoherent manner,
"I could not help it, I hope that nothing can be
done to me for it." He appeared very much alarmed.
Mrs. Hallett continued to linger—at times with
some hopes of recovery—until Saturday l,st, when,
in spite of emetics and other appliances, she expired.
A port-mortetu examination of the body was made
on Tuesday morning, when the result of the medi-
cal testimony was that the deceased had died from
an administration of opium. Southwick has since
disappeared, and a warrant bas already been ob-
tained for his apprehension. Pending his arrest,
the inquest was adjourned to the 11th of February.

The United States Government has appointed
Mr. Emery M'Clintock to be consular agent for that re-
public at Bradford, and on Tuesday last the Bradford Town
Council passed a resolution formally recognising him in that
capacity, in accordance with a request contained in a letter
from the Howe Secretary of State.

THE NAVY

The Commander-in-Chief at x lyinuhth, Admiral
Sir H. Stewart, K.C.8., accompanied by Capt. Leo-
pold Heath, of the Cambridge, wilt
.Vday (Fri-
day), inspect the screw steamship London, 86,
Capt. Henry Chads, and her crew, preparatory to
their being paid off. The ship will ba placed In
the third division of the Steam Reserve.
In accordance with instructions from the Ad-
miralty, Mr. Gisborne, the inventor and patentee of
the electric steering and engine room telegraphic
signals, attended at Chatham Dockyard yesterday
for the purpose of making the necessary arrange-
ments for fitting the invention on board the armour-
cased frigate Royal Oak, now preparing for sea.
The Royal Oak is, we understand, the first vessel
in the Royal navy to which it has been decided
that the new invention is to be fitted. The highly
favourable reports which have been made to the
Lords of the Admiralty of the working of the
signals placed on board her Majesty's paddlewheel
steamer Rhadamanthus, Master •Commander Ray-
mond, where a series of experimental trials has
been made with them during the past six months,
have induced their lordships to decide on intro-
ducing the invention. _ _ .

He; Majesty's screw gun-vessel Osprey, 682 tons,
200 horse-power, reeently commissioned at Wool-
wich by Commander J. Danes, has had her fan
shifted and replaced with Griffith's screw to in-
crease her speed, and is under orders to leave
Wcolwich on an engineei's trial.

Forty second-class lads were yesterday entered on
the Fisgard's books at Woolwich, and a similar
number will be engaged weekly until further orders
for instruction on board the receiving ship Impreg-
nable, a demand having been issued to that effect.
We have to record the death of Admiral Francis
Temple, which occurred on Monday last at an ad-
vanced age. The deceased, who received his educa-
tion at the Royal Naval School, entered the navy in
1786 as a midshipman on board the Thisbe. After
serving on the coasts of North America and Africa,
lie -attained his lieutenancy in 1793, and in 1803,
while serving on board the Loire in that capacity,
boarded and carried with two boats of that frigate
ti,) French national brig Le Venteux, after a des-
perate conflict of 10 minutes under the batteries of
Ite de B .s. For his conduct on this occasion he was
promoted to the command of the Tartarus, and pre-
sented by the Patriotic Society with a valuable
sword. He became a Vice-Admiral of the Blue in
1847, and Admiral on the reserved half-pay list in
1854.

did not counsel the people to get up an)
to support this or that party, but to assume t.
sive position, and oppose any one on the hustings
who would not advocate Reform. To use a sport-
ing phrase, there had been of late considerable
hedging in the shape of peerages and baronetcies,
and it was curious to think that although both
parties in the State were in favour of Reform, yet
none of them th ,ught the time come to grant such
a measure. For his own part he had b -!1
*sines an advocate for an extension of ihr
to the great body of the people. To that principle
be should always adhere, because be belie it was
that which tended to promote the interests of his
constituents. (Cheers.)
Mr. HALLAM moved the following resco•-ain •
" That the best thanks of this meeting are due and
are hereby given to Acton Smee Ayrton, Esq., one
of our representatives in Parliament, for the ability
and assiduity with which he performs his PA vin-
mentary duties, as well as for the admirable ap
he has just delivered."
The resolution was carried unanimo isly, and the
proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

COMMON COUNCIL.

A meeting of the members of the Common Coun-
cil was held yesterday, for the despatch of busiuess,
at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.
Mr. ANDERTON gave notice of motion—" That a
ward committee be appointed, under the chairman-
ship of the Lord Mayor, to consider how beat the
citizens of London can continue to testify their
loyalty and attachment to our beloved Queen and
her family upon the approaching marriage of the
Prince of Wales, by giving his Royal Highness and
his affianced bride a public entry into the city of
London ; and that, in order to make the demonstra-
tion general and worthy the metropolis, the com •
mittee do advise with the Court of Lieutenancy and
the Livery Companies, the Hon. Artillery Com-
pany, the commanding officers of the Royal London
Militia and Volunteers, and other public bodies,
merchants, bankers, and traders, whose co- apera-
tion they (the committee) may think desirable."
(Cheers.)
THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.
Mr. WOODTHORPE, the Town Clerk, at the re-
quest of the Lord Mayor, read a letter which had
been addressed to his lordship and the Corporation
of London by the Royal Commissioners for the In-
ternational Exhibition, conveying the expression of
their warmest thanks for planing at their disposal
the various works of art belonging to the corpora-
tion, which had been displayed is the Fine Arts
department. The Commissioners added that they had
much satisfaction in calling to mind how cordially
their efforts to secure an adequate representation of
the rise, progress, and present position of British art
were seconded by those patrons of art whose co-
operation they invited. The friendly rivalry which
was established between the choicest works of Bri-
tish masters and those of foreign countries had been
admitted to have been in the highest degree honour.
able to our national schools, and this gratifying
result had only been attained by the prompt and
liberal response given to the applications of the
Commissioners by those whose property had for a
season been confided to their care.
On the motion of Mr. KELDAY,the Commissioners'
letter was ordered to be printed with the minutes
of the Court.

mail due at two p.m. on Tuesday was delayed for
three hours. Near Bagilt, a station on the left side
of the estuary of the Dee, both lines of way had
been washed up, and the trains were only enabled
to pass slowly over rails temporarily laid. At
the Abergele station the railway is on a level with
the sea at high waver, which on Tuesday broke
through and over the embankment, and covered the
line to a height of 6ft. The train had to wait up-
wards of two hours, till the tide had partially sub-
sided. At Penmaenmawr, where three years ago
immense damage was inflicted during the gale
known as the " storm of the Royal Charter,'
the embankment withstood all the shocks of
the tempest. It was deemed advisable to
suspend all traffic for Tuesday, the up and down
Irish mails being delayed at Holyhead and Chester
respectively. On Wednesday one line of way was,
by great exertions, made workable, so that traffic was
resumed. In Holyhead Bay, during the high tide
on Tuesday morning, the water came pouring over
the whole length of the breakwater. The work Is
now so far advanced that the damage done is not by
airy means extensive. Many ships came in on Mon-
day, but only three sought refuge here on Tuesday
during the height of the gale. Of these three two
ran ashore. No blame, however, is attributable to
the anchorage, as in each case the cause of the mis-
fortune is to be traced to some derangement in the
anchoring tackle of the ships themselves. One was
the Medea, previously referred to in The Sun ; the
other was a Wexford steamer. Both can be got Off
again.

CARDIFF, Wednesday.
The tremendous gale which set in on Monday
night continued with slight intermission until this
morning. During Monday night the Russian bark
i
Henrich Sorenson, from Bordeaux for Cardiff, n
ballast, struck against the rocks at Breaksea Point, ,
Bristol Channel, and became a complete wreck. The
captain and crew stayed in the vessel till daylight,
when assistance was rendered by the villagers, and
after great difficulty the whole were pulled through
the breakers and saved. The United States steam
tug, belonging to this port, having been missing
since Sunday, fears were entertained for her safety,
and it was generally supposed she was lost. A tele-
gram, however, received this evsning gives the in-
formation that she got into Ilfracombe all safe. The
bark Nazerne, of New York, has been driven from
her nviorings in the Cardiff Roads, and ran aground
this morning. She was outward bound and laden
with coal. Her bottom has received considerable
damage, but the full extent of injury is not yet as
certained. The ships in the docks stood the pie
well, the only casualty being that of the American
brig Reynard. She broke from her moorings on
Tuesday and ran against the quay wall, causing
considerable damage.

NEW ZEALAND GOLDFIELD.

The Dunedin Colon— of Nov. 17 states that,
though the rush from Melbourne has considerably
abated, there is still a steady influx of population.
At the port of Dunedin the excess of immigration
over emigration in the past month had been 1,684.
There had been a second arrival (per Sevilla) of
single women, who were likely to prove equally ac-
ceptable with the first, the batch per Grasmere.
Letters from the Dunstaa goldfield say that at
Pleasant Creek rush a party of five washed out 170
oz. in three days, and another party 90 oz. in two
days. The depth of sinking is about six feet in the
bed of the creek, which has first to be diverted from
its course. Gold is found in patches in every direc-
tion. The gold commissioner, in his official report,
describes 800 to 1,000 miners as working with suc-
cess, many doing remarkably well, one party bring-
ing 102 oz. for their week's work, " Prospecting (he
writes) is proceeding vigorously in every direction,
and the samples of gold obtained are very different
both in quality and appearance, in some instances
being an almost impalpable dust, and in others con-
sisting of coarse pieces, weighing 3dw t. and 4d wt.
each. Those employed on Pleasant Creek, as one of
the new rushes is named, are for the most doing ex-
tremely well. The gold obtained there is of a rough
description, and appears to be of very pure quality."
A letter mentions that a party of four, about seven
miles above the Dunstan, obtain 180 ounces in three
and a half days' work. From Nakomai the Com-
missioner reports concerning Victoria Gully:—" The
diggers now working seem to be generally satisfied,
and are making what they term wages, which I
should estimate at about £3 per week. There are,
however, individual instances of men doing much
better, and I know of persons who are earning as
much as £6 and £7 sterling during the same period.
The reef is a hard slate, on end, and nearly flat, but
the greater portion of the gold is not always found
there; in fact, it seems to be more plentiful at one
particular level, which level is sometimes on the reef,
but more frequently in the wash dirt." The export
of gold from Dunedin during the month has been
39,523 ounces. The Colonist maintains that consider-
ing the area prospected, the population engaged in
the work, and the amount of capital employed, the
Otagon fields have proved more productive in pro-
portion than any before discovered, and that the
average earnings of the miners exceeded per man the
average yielded in Victoria and New South Wales.
Goods sent to the Dunstan have been costing the
enormous sum of £l2O per ton for carriage—a rate
so high that the merchants determined to send by
vessel to Waikonaiti, and trust to local arrange-
ments for transporting them thence to the gold-
fields; but the roads have improved, and the rate
demanded by carriers has become much more mode-
rate.

WESTMINSTER.

EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.—A very creditable-
looking woman, about 30 years of age, entreated the magis-
trate to give her assistance under very painful circumstances.
Mr. Arnold enquired what they were.
The poor woman replied that they arose out of her neces-
sities during her stay in the workhouse.
Mr. Arnold asked what parish.
The poor woman replied, St. Margaret's and St. John's,
Westminster, and proceeded to state that, being in great
poverty three weeks ago, she was obliged to get into the
workhouse with her three children, the consequences of
which was the death of one of them.
Mr. Arnold—Under what circumstances ?
Poor Woman—My children were at the ages of twelve-
months, five years, and ten years, and they were taken into
the workhouse at the same time as myself. On Wednes-
day I discharged myself from the workhouse, and my
child twelvemonths old died. _ . _

Mr. Arnold—When did the child die ?
Poor Woman—At 12 o'clock on Wednesday night. I
bad discharged myself from the workhouse in consequence
of discovering the wretched condition of my poor child,
which had been kept away from me. They had never told
anything was the matter with it, but it was in a
slat, 'indition. It was a tine healthy child as any one
vro, is to see when it went there, and now it is de-
plot .de to look at it.
lqr. Arnold—Whet do you think was the matter with it ?
Poor Woman—Starvation, and I cannot tell what has
been done to its body.
Mr. Arnold—lf you have any reason to think that this
child died from improper treatment, you must bring it
under the notice of the coroner.
Mr. Arnold to'd the police to see that every assistance
was afforded the poor woman in obtaining a full inquiry.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROU GH-ST REET.
A BRUTE PROPERLY PuNisttED.—Mr. lindy, a general
dealer, of Saville-street, Marylebone, was charged befcre
Mr. Knox as follows:---
Mr. Gaskin, a general dealer, said ho was standing in
Marylebone-street the previous evening talking to his
wife, when the prisoner came up and knocked both him
and his wife down. While he (witness) was lying on the
ground the prisoner seized him by the throat, and so pressed
his knuckles into it that he was nearly choked.
Mr. Knox asked what provocation the witness had given
the prisoner, and the witness said that on one occasion his
wife prevented the prisoner strangling his wife on the bed,
and ever since he had entertained a grudge towards him and
his wife.

Mr. W. Davis, a gentleman residing at 31, Munster-
square, said that hearing the cry of " Murder," he ran out
of a friend's house in Marylebone-street and pulled the
prisoner off the witness: The prisoner at the time was
doing his best to strangle the witness, and, but for his in-
terference, he believed he would have done so:
Sarah Gaskin, wife of the first witness, proved being
assaulted by the prisoner, and said the black eye she born
was caused by the prisoner. She was only just out of her
confinement.
Mr. Davis said that the last witness's face was smothered
with blood, and Mr. Nathaniel Wakeling, of Charlotte-
street, Fitzroy-square, proved seeing the prisoner knock the
complainant and his wife down.
A constable said that hearing cries of " Police,' he went
to the spot and saw the prisoner s n the top of the first
witness, nearly choking him. With the assistance of Mr.
Davis the prisoner was dragged from the witness (Gaskin).
He also observed the female's face covered with blood.
Mr. Knox said it was as brutal and wanton an attack
as he had ever heard of, and he should commit the prisoner
for three months, with hard labour.

Fatal Case of Poisoning at Hull.

A singular and suspicious case of poisoning was
brought to light in Hull on Tuesday last, at an in-
quest held touching the death of a respectable
widow named Catherine Ann Hallett, who died
suddenly at her residence in Davis-street, Bond-
street, on Saturday last, from the effects of an ad-
ministration of opium. It appears that the deceased,
who was a sempstress in the employ of Mr. Wilbe,
merchant tailor, Whitefriargate, on New Year's Eve
had been present at a temperance festival, and re-
turned home in a perfect state of health, and, as
stated by the witnesses, sober. Shortly after her
return, her opposite neighbour, Mr. George South-
wick, grocer, went to her house, and asked permis-
sion to bring in a table which he wanted to secure
from bailiffs. As he was in liquor at the time, she
said she would go across and fetch it herself. She
did so. As soon as she entered Sonthwick's shop, he
invited her inside, and asked her to take a
glass of back beer. She declined the offer, but,
after repeated requests and frequent protestations
on the part of Southwick that there was no spirit
in it, as she was a teetotaller, she drank it. She had
no sooner swallowed it than she was taken ill, be-
gan to vomit, and shortly afterwards became insen-
sible. Southwick then summoned the assistance of
his neighbours, and said the deceased was ill from
drink. They believed her to be intoxicated, and
assisted him in putting her to bed. Late on is the
day of the 2d inst., not appearing to improve, the
neighbours advised Southwick to procure medical
assistance. He went for Dr. Kelburne King, who
attenced, and after making minute examination of
her appearance, ho pronounced her to have been
poisoned with opium. He asked Southwick why
he did not call him or some other medical gentleman
before. Ho said he wished to do so, but the neigh-
bours thought she was merely drunk, that it would
pass off, and they did not like to expose her. The
doctor asked him if she had had any drink in his
house. He answered, "A glass of beer and a glass
of black-beer." Upon being questioned by the
doctor as to whether he had administered any
poison, he answered in a very incoherent manner,
"I could not help it, I hope that nothing can be
done to me for it." He appeared very much alarmed.
Mrs. Hallett continued to linger—at times with
soma hopes of recovery—until Saturday Let, when,
in spite of emetics and other appliances, she expired.
A port-mortem examination of the body was made
on Tuesday morning, when the result of the medi-
cal testimony was that the deceased had died from
an administration of opium. Southwick has since
disappeared, and a warrant has already been ob-
tained for his apprehension. Pending his arrest,
thu inquest was adjourned to the 11th of February.

The United States Government has appointed
Mr. Emery M'Clintock to be consular agent for that re-
public at Bradford, and on Tuesday last the Bradford Town
Council passed a resolution formally recognising him in that
capacity, in accordance with a request contained in a letter
from the Home Secretary of State.
