THE GALE.

THE PUBLISHING SEASON.
NOTICE.

The non-arrival of homeward bound ships at Gravesend
during the gales led to the most alarming apprehensions
for their safety. They were known to be near the shore,
and it was feared that they had been cast upon the dan-
gerous shoals which intersect the month of the Thames
below tha Nore. Yesterday some:of them arrived in the
river, and bore evidence of the gale. The arrivals gave sad
intelligence of the destruction among ships which only a
few hours before had left the Thames. A large outward-
bound Australian ship, called the Fusileer, Capt, Cavasso,
with passengers and general cargo, bound for Port Phillip,
struck on the Girdler Sand, some 20 miles below the Nore.
Signals for assistance were shown, and the whole of the
passengers were saved, and landed at Ramsgate on Thurs-
day from a lifeboat. Another large ship called the Deme-
rara, Capt. Scovell, from London, bound for Greenock, was
lost on the Shingles, and the crew were also fortunate
enough to reach Ramsgate in safety. A third ship, the
Cornelia, outward bound, from Bremea, was wrecked on
the Goodwin Sands, and the fate of her crew is yet uncer-
tain. The brigantine Belle, Capt. Pyne,bound from London
for Algoa Bay, was driven from her anchors in the Downs
by the force of the hurricane, and drove athwart a steamer
carrying away her foretopmast, and the captain, chief mate,
and three men are missing. The second mate, one lady pas-
senger, one seaman, and two boys wer3 only left on board
when the brigantine was fortunately licked up by the Na-
poleon steamtug, and a lugger called tie Buffalo, of Broad-
stairs, which remained by her until the gale moderated,
and succeeded in towingthe disabled vessel into Ramsgate.
A large Calcutta ship, known as the Maxwell, to escape
being wrecked on the Goodwin, cut allay her masts and so
averted her destruction. She is insued for upwards of
£50,000. A large fleet of vessels are reported to have sus-
tained damage by loss of chainlmitzus—several have got
into Ratasgatii, Dovef, and iklrifirpti,s6B. -

Some anxiety prevailed with regard to the rash and foolish
men who took their laden vessels out to sea on Wednesday
evening just as the gale was coming on. They would en-
counter very bad weather off the Yorkshire coast. The
wind has been off shore, and no casualties are reported to
have occurred upon the coast of Northumberland and Dar-
ham. On the Northumberland coast the fishermen aro
are warned of impending storms by the admirable system
established by the Duke of Northumberland, who has
barometer stations in the principal fishing villages. Ad-
miral Fitzroy's storm warnings are also exhibited by the
officers of the Coast-guard on all the prominent headlands
between the Tyne and the seaport of Blyth.
The accounts and telegrams which came to hand yester-
day from distant continental porta describe the recent gale
as the most severe that has been experienced since the fear-
ful storm in 1857.

The CHIEF ENGINEER read the following re-
port as to the progress of these works:—
The Engineer reported that " About lot miles
of the middle level line all its branches, con-

sisting of sewers varying in size from 4ft. by 2ft.
_ .

Bin. to 12ft. by 2ft. Gin., have been completed by
Messrs. Brassey and Co., at a probable cost of
£289,000, being £5,000 in excess of my last report.
Much of the past month's work under this contract
has consisted of small sewers and connexions, which
necessarily consume more time in their execution
that in a fair run with the main work.
" I reported last month that the western sewerage
works had made slow progress, owing to the very

difficult nature of the soil, the quantities of water
met with, and other adverse causes; but these have
now assumed a somewhat more favourable aspect,
and Messrs. Moxon and Co. will, therefore, I anti-

cipate, be enabled to proceed more rapid'y with
their contract. To the present time they have coin-

Let me tell you a little anecdote by which you vaiestia
mate the amount of Neapolitan sympathy for anything
which is Piedmontese, when it is not prepared beforehand
by administrative prudence. On the 30th October Prince
Humber, his brother, and his uncle, went to the Floren-
tine Theatre. On their arrival the orchestra prayed the - •
Royal anthem, and a little sensation was elicited, Between
the first and second acts the audience turbulently de.manded
Garibaldi's hymn, which is forbidden ; the orchestra it um-
diately played some other air, hoping to avert the stk irm.

Here, no day passes Without some encounter, generally
on political grounds, which results in many wounded and
some killed. The .Pungolo of the 2,1 utter Minis—
terial journal, informs us that, in conformity with Art. 5
of the Pica law, several persons have been embarked, in
order to be sent to the islands in the gulf. In the namo
of this Pica law persona are exiled from the capital,
though it is situated in a province which does not come
under the provisions of this exceptional statute, but white,:
matters? The Piedmontese Government does not stop at,
such trifles.
