THE GALE.

The anxiety which has prevailed for the last few days re-
specting the safety of the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's screw steamship Garraania, Captain Drynam, from
Tonning, was relieved yesterday afternoon by the receipt of
a telegram announcing her arrival in the river off Gravesend,
and later in the day she reached Blackwall. 0 tit of her cargo
of about 350 cattle, which she took on board at Tonning.
scarcely more than 50 have been brought home alive. Those
stowed on deck were lust overboard during the hurricane,
and most of the remainder in the hold were so knocked
about by the heavy rolling of the ship that they were either
trampled to death or suffocated. When the steamer came
alongside Brown's Wharf, at Blackwall, the scene the hold
presented was truly shocking. The between decks and bot-
tom of the hold were crowded with dead beasts, and decom-
position had set in. Here and there a live bullock was slung
up out of the dead mass, but the Custom 'house officers pro •
hibited any of the carcases from being landed, and the ship
was ordered to return down the river and out to sea below
the Nure that night in order to throw the dead cattle over-
boat d. The Germania left Tonning on Thursday fo;enoon,
and on the following day encountered the storm. She had
got too far on her passage to return to port, and she was still
kept on her course, a tremendously heavy sea every now and
then breaking over the steamer, killing or washing over-,
board some of tthe cattle. Throughout the whole of Friday)
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday the ship was buffeted about
in the North Sea, and but for her good qualities as a sea
boat, more especially with such a cargo as cattle on board,
she must have foundered. Sails were hoisted to keep her
head to the sea, but frequently the 'vas was blown away.
Most providentially she had an- eittra'atook of 50 -tons of
coal on board, but for which it is difficult to conjecture
what might have happened to the vessel. She was enabled
to keep up her steam, and so avoided being quite at the
mercy of wind and waves. On the weather somewhat
moderating on Tuesday she made more progress for the
Thames, and eventually arrived in the river es before stated.
The Magnet, another cattle steamer, which should have
arrived at Black wall on Sunday, =countered the hurricane
and put back to Nieue Diep, with the loss, it is reported, of
200 head of cattle. It is also stated that the Ship is half full
of water.

PROSPECTUS.
This Company is established in order, a 3 its name implies,
to carry on the trade of Merchant Bankers. Hitherto this
department of business has been almost exclusively in the
hands of private firms, but it is confidently believed that the
Joint-Stock principle may be most beneficially applied to it,
as well in the interests of commerce as to the advantage of
those who desire a safe and profitable investment.
The Merchant Banking Company of London, Limited, is
in consequence projected, having been carefully matured
under the auspices of merchants, and, having every facility
already available and in full operation, the Comnany will at
once enter upon a business ascertained to be of highly re-
munerative nature, with all the advantages of local know-
ledge and experience of the respective foreign markets.
The Company will avoid costly establishments abroad,
which ab.Kirb so large a portion of the profits of other bank-
ing establishments, and avail themselves of the agency of
mercantile houses already established.
The Company will grant negotiable or other credits, by and
upon their Foreign Agents, to importers of produce in this
country, on the continent of Europe, and in America.
They will make advances on the staple manufactures of this
country under documentary bills, or consigned to their Agents
abroad, for such periods as may be necessary to realise the
sale of such goods, and on terms favourable to the shippers.
they will also undertake to execute orders for produce
through their Agents abroad, on terms highly advantageous
to importers.
The Company will further undertake the monetary agency
of Foreign and Colonial Governments, and other constituted
public bodies.
They will receive deposits at their Head Office in London,
at the current rates of interest, and grant loans, through
their Agents abroad, on approved securities.
The safety of the Merchant Banking Company of London,
Limited, as an investment will be understood from the na-
ture of the business proposed to be transacted, and the profits
likely to be made by the Company may be in some measure
estimated by the well-known success of several mercantile
banking establishments engaged in the same description of
business.

LIVERPOOL, Wednesday.
Between Tuesday night and this morning in this neigh-
bourhood a very severe gale blew from the north-westward,
which veered round towards the west. During a large por-
tion of the night the storm raged with extreme violence,
and in the course of the day intelligence was received at the
Underwriters' Association Rooms, intimating that the Arlon,
from Liverpool to St. Thomas's, was wrecked near Carnet..
von, and that her crew is supposed to have been lost. The
Kalos, Captain Vaughan, from Quebec, arrived yesterday
morning with loss of bowsprit and other damage, occasioned
by having been in collision with the Windsor, from Dublin.
On Tuesday about 300 Baltic deals, several spars, and a
lowermast painted white, were washed on shore at South•
port. The captain of the Tamworth reports that the Prus-
sian bark Eliza, frem the Baltic, was off Ornashead on Fri-
day without a pilot, The Horizon, for Calcutta, which put
back on Tuesday, had her mainmast sprung, had lost her
maintopsail yard, had her sails blown away, and her crew
were completely exhausted. The ship on Saturday morning
struck the ground heavily twice. The J. L. Bogart, for
New York, and Mistress of the Seas, for Bombay, when
swinging to the tide, in the Sloyne, on Monday evening,
dragged their anchors and fouled each other. The former
lost her mainyard, bulwarks, &c., and the latter lost her
jibboom, &c. The flat Maple, earthenware laden, sunk off
the King's pier on Tuesday, She was bound from Duke's-
cut to the James Foster, jun., for New York, lying in the
river. Out of 101 crates on board about 89 are saved.

On Friday morning, on the arrival of the Belfast packet
Selburne at Morecambe, Captain Silley reported that there
was a brig ashore on the Isle of Walney, at the north end of
the bay, and that a large vessel was lying in a dangerous
position at the entrance to the bay. The brig proved to be
a Prussian vessel, and she has since gone to pieces, the
crew having succeeded in saving themselves. The other
vessel reported has turned out to be the Lilliass, Capt. Bell,
of St. John's, New Brunswick, which had left Liverpool on
Thursday. Captain Wheeler, of the steamship Royal Con-
sort, had also passed her, and from his representations a
steam-tug was sent to her assistance, and towed her to the
usual anchorage for vessels bound from Fleetwood, about
one mile west of the Wyre light. The Lilliass rode there in
safety until Friday evening, when, the gale increasing,
blue lights and rockets were thrown up from the vessel,.
and the Fleetwood lifeboat, in charge of a steamtug, put
off to her assistance. On arriving alongside the crew in-
sisted on leaving the ship, considering it unsafe to remain
there, and 26 of them, with the captain's daughter, refused
to leave. The weather then became so bad that the lifeboat
had to leave her and seek safety in Glasgow dock. On
Saturday morning the captain and officers remaining hoisted
a signal of distress, but the weather was still so violent that
the lifeboat dared not go to their assistance, and about two
hours afterwards the Talbot, Captain Briggs, from Belfast,
sighted the distressed ship and went towards her. No boat
could live in such a sea, and it was very dangerous for the
Talbot to approach near the Lilliass. Tire captain of the
Talbot, however, notwithstanding that his decks were
crowded with dead cattle, killed by the storm, and that a
great portion of his bulwarks had been washed away,
managed to run his vessel athwart the bows of the Lilliass,
and the men on board the latter jumped to the Talbot, and
were caught by the seamen and hauled on board. Great
credit is due to Capt. Briggs for the indefatigable and humane
emertions he made. The Lilliass sank soon after, and has
since gone to pieces. Among the minor casualties sustained
in the bay are the following :—The Northern Light, from
D andalk to Preston, with barley, drove on the Pilling Sands,
and became a wreck. The crew were saved by the Fleet-
wood lifeboat. A fishing-boat, the Pioneer, has been sunk on
the Pilling Sands. Another vessel, the Rook, bound from
Ardrossan for Morecambe, with iron, sank on the Duddon
Sands. The crews of both these vessels were saved. The
Belfast packet the Talbot, with a heavy cargo of cattle, sus-
tained serious damage, and a great number of the cattle
were killed. Some idea of the violence of the waves may be
gathered from the fact that one of the bullocks was driven
through the deck into the engine room among the machi-
nery. The gale was also felt severely upon land. In Lan-
caster a large number of tiles and chimney pots were thrown
down, a tree was uprooted in the churchyard, and a rail-
way carriage standing upon the junction of the London and
North-Western and Midland Railways was blown com-
pletely off the rails.

GREA.T YARMOUTH, Wednesday.
A screw collier and numerous vessels have arrived to-day
damaged and leaky. The masts of a vessel have been seen
near the Cockle lightship, the crew are supposed to be lost,
The master (Nutt) and one man of the Helena of Rochester,
have been received at the Sailors' Home. During the
height of the gale on Monday night, when off Winterton,
the Helena came into collision with the brig Arrow, of
Sunderland. The master of the Helena and one of the crew
managed to scramble on board of the Arrow during the
brief time the vessels wore in contact, but the remainder of
the crew, four in number, were unable to do so, and they
were drowned, the ship foundering soon afterwards. There
are many disabled vessels in the Wold, which are unable to
proceed south in consequence of a strong wind from the
south-west. There is still a large fleet in the roadstead.
LOWESTOFT, Tuesday Evening,
The screw steamship Rowland, Capt. Parl, of and from
Hamburg for Hull with passengers and cattle, left Ham-
burg at 5 a,m. on Friday, encountered the heavy gale in
crossing the Channel, and had a horse and a bullock pitched
down among her machinery. The vessel, while close to the
Humber on Saturday morni▪
ng, made a sudden lurch, by
which the captain, while putting out the lead, was pitched
into the sea. Half an hour elapsed before the crew could
succeed in getting a boat overboard, during which time the
captain was swimming. When they got him on board at
last every exertion was made by the passengers and crew to
restore him, but without avai▪ l ; he shortly afterwards ex-
pired. The vessel put in here this afternoon wich the dead
body of the captain, and half her horses and bullocks were
dead from the tossing of the ship during the lengthened
gale. Captain Parl leaves a wife and two children in Ham-
burg. The steamer Admiral Cator, Captain Moore, from
Rotterdam, of and for Hartlepool, with a general cargo, has
just put in here for refuge and to coal. The brig Lamb,
Captain Oliver, of Hartlepool, from Shields for London,
was assisted in by a Yarmouth tug, with loss of maintop-
mast, &c. The brig Ceres, Captain Dryden, of and from
Hartlepool for London, with coals, put in hero with loss of
anchors and chains—also the schooner Alliance, Captain
Burnett, from Goole, with loss of foremast, maintopmast,
and considerable other damage having been in collision
during the gale, Several other vessels put in here with
loss of anchors t.nd other damage.

hope it will be increased to £lOO,OOO, at a low rate of inte-
rest. The breakwater will be principally made of slag from
the blast furnaces at Middlesboro' and Easton, and is likely
to be one of the cheapest works of the kind over constructed.
The wind is from the north-west, and a considerable fleet of
