The Late Gale.

On Wednesday morning at an early hour a ter-
rific storm swept along the Humber from the S.W.
Shortly before noon, while the storm was about
at its height, the passenger steamer plying between
Hull and London left the Humber dock for
the last-named port. As she passed between
the piers, which also serve as breakwaters for the
dock basin, she was driven by the force of the wind
and the waves on the pier at the eastern side. She
was very much shaken, but it was not supposed that
any material injury had been sustained. When the
steamer had got abreast of Killingholme, about 20
miles down the river, a rumour spread on board
that the ship was making water. The pumps were
sounded, and several inches of water found in the
hold. The captain, therefore, determined to put
about and return to Hull. It was with diffi-
culty that the steamer worked her way up against
the ebb tide and almost head wind, and when she
arrived at Hull it was found that there was about
two feet water in the hold. The passengers were
therefore landed, and it is thought that a portion,
if not the whole,of the cargo will have to be landed.
It was supposed that some of her plates were sprung
when she drove on the pier. Several small vessels
drove from their moorings, and were more or less
injured. The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln-
shire Railway Company's ferry steamer was very
considerably injured, her starboard paddlebox and
a great length of the bulwarks on the same side be-
ing carried away. This damage was caused by the
boat being blown broadside on to a tugboat belong-
ing to the same company, and which was also
seriously injured. In the town a good deal of da-
mage was done. From one house the greater part
of the roof was blown away. A telegram was sent
from the Meteorological-office to hoist south drum,
but this could not be done, as the haulyards had
blown away from the mast.
At Elm, near Wisbeach, on Wednesday, at 12.10
p.m., the barometer stood at 28.27, the thermometer
at 54. A furious gale from the south was then
raging. It began from S.E. and had gradually
veered full S. On Tuesday night at 6 o'clock a bril-
liant meteor floated across the sky from within 5
deg. of the Pleiades. Its direction was full south,
and its path inclined at about 15 deg. to the hori-
zon. Its length of course was estimated at 30 deg.
It left a trail of sparks behind it, was of a brilliant
blue, spear-headed, but not sharp, and for the last
four or five degrees appeared to dive obliquely
downwards and vanished. The trail of light and
sparks was white. The size was about twice that of
Venus.

At Shields on Wednesday the weather was very
stormy. The barometer stood very low. At noon
the wind blew half a gale from the S.E., but about
two o'clock in the afternoon it flew round to the
N.W., and on Wednesday night it had settled down
to a violent gale from the W. The rain was fall-
ing in torrents, and the night was extremely dark.
Only one laden screw collier sailed at tide time, on
Wednesday afternoon—the Fire Fly, for London,
and she is likely to have had a rough night of it off
the Yorkshire coast. The wind was off shore, and
was not, therefore, so dangerous to shipping as it
otherwise would have been had it been from the
eastward. This morning about 5 o'clock a new
clipper ship, the Persian Empire, did considerable
damage to the West Hartlepool Dock-quay. At the
time a gale of wind was blowing from the south-
ward. She was being towed into the harbour in
charge of Mr. Leighton, a North Sea pilot, when,
having got too much headway, she ran with tremen-
dous force into the quay near to the dock entrance,
making the building thereon shake with the concus-
sion. She cut into the solid masonry work, crushing
it six or eight feet in breadth, and smashing granite
blocks to pieces. The ship, an iron one, does not
appear to have sustained much damage. If she had
burst open the dock gates, which at one time she
was likely to do, the consequences would in all pro-
bability
have been very serious. A storm-warning
from the Board of Trade has been hoisted to-night
that a gale may be expected from the southward.

On Wednesday morning the weather was very
stormy in the West Bay of Portland. About 10
a.m. a brig was seen in distress, which proved after-
wards to be the Emmanuel, of Auray. After vainly
endeavouring to weather the Bill of Portland, the
captain found himself completely embayed, and
having exhaused every effort to save his ship he pre-
pared in the most seamanlike manner to run her on
the beach in the midst of a tremendous surf, an
almost hopeless task. The inhabitants had by this
time flocked down to the beach, and seeing that the
spot the captain had selected was a most dangerous
one, they, by waving flags and other signals,
directed him to one about a mile further south,
close to where Portland is joined by the beach.
The captain understood the signals, and putting his
ship's head to the wind kept her off until opposite
the spot indicated. He then proceeded once more
to beach his ship, and ordered his crew to lash them.
selves on, and put his ship before the wind. Nothing
could have exceeded the complete success with
which the operation was performed, for she came
in on the top of a tremendous rolling surf, and, as
the tide was falling, she was left in about an hour's
time almost high and dry. As soon as she struck
one poor fellow was seen to clamber out on to the
bowsprit, and, in spite of the remonstrances, shout-
ings, and wavings of those on shore to cling to the
ship, he threw himself into the breakers, in the vain
hope of being washed up on the beach. He was
never seen again ; the rest, by waiting until the
tide receded, were all saved. The brig is laden
with timber, and was expected to go to pieces with
the following tide.

At Plymouth yesterday morning, at high water,
two Government tugs and a merchant steamer
started the emigrant ship Amoor about half her
length ahead, when the tide ebbed, and she grounded
again. She has been further lightened, and this
morning another effort will be made to get her off.
The tides are, however, increasing.
In addition to the particulars from Bristol and
the neighbourhood given in The Sun of yesterday,
we learn that one of the pontoons connected with
the landing pier of the Bristol Port and Pier Rail-
way at Avonmouth was lifted by the force of the
tide and carried away. An iron vessel named the
Curlew, engaged in the service of the British and
Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company iu repairing a
three-wire cable which connects Newport, Cardiff,
and Swansea with Bristol, had to be abandoned at
Aust-head and went ashore at Oldbury. The crew
escaped in a boat, and after being driven up the
Severn a distance of 13 miles they Succeeded in
effecting a landing. At Weston-super-Mare con-
siderable damage was done, particularly to the
boats of the local fishermen, several of which be-
came total wrecks, and scarcely one escaped unin,..
jured. The sloop Despatch was driven from her
moorings against the sea wall on the Knightstone-
road, a portioi of which was knocked down by the
collision, and a hole stove in the vessel's stern. Se-
rious injury was likewise done to a new vessel, of
peculiar construction, belonging to Mr. J. Elwin.
It was a kind of double canoe, and had been some
time in progress, and was nearly completed. She
draggedheranchor, and was also carried by the force
of the gale against the wall on Knightstone-road.
One of her sides was stove in, and some large holes
made in herbottom. At Lundy three pilot boats were
driven away, and one, No. 9, lost a man overboard.
On Wednesday one of the most terrific storms that
has been remembered for the last 20 years, passed
over Monmouthshire. The sea-wall at Loughor was
completely swept away for some distance, and the
Great Western line, which for several miles runs
within a few yards of the wall, was also swept away.
The trains from below this point were inconsequence
delayed about ten hours. At the Dowlais works
the damage was great. The roofs of costly new
buildings being uncovered, and two or three stacks
were party blown down. The Prince of Wales,
a vessel of 1,100 tons, Wen with coal,
was wrecked on Aberavon Sands ; cargo and ship
valued at £20,000. A vessel laying at the Risca
wharf on the -Usk was carried by the force of the
tide to the adjoining bank, and numerous other
vessels were more or less damaged.
At Burnout, Carnarvon, on Tuesday, about noon,
a smack was observed in this bay under low can-
vas, the wind at the time blowing a strong gale
from the southwest, and the sea running high. She

was evidently making for Barmouth harbour, and
had a signal flying, but as no other boat could get
to her assistance in the event of her attempting the
bar, and as there was no water for her to come in,
the lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat In-
stitution was promptly manned and taken out
through a very heavy sea. By this time she was
close to the bar, but had tacked ship to the west-
ward, and was brought to an anchor about two
miles outside. The lifeboat boarded her at two p.m.,
remained with her one hour and a half, and left two
of her crew on board to bring her in next tide. At
7 p.m. the smack's chain parted, and it was with
difficulty she was kept off the shore to wait the tide
rising ; she was, however, ultimately brought in
safely. The lifeboat crew were again in readiness
in the event of anything happening to the smack
coming in, as it continued to blow strong, and the
sea was running very high on the bar, but fortu-
nately their services were nit again required. The
vessel proved to be the Dahlia, of and for Port-
madoc, from Newport, with three men on board.

About 1 a.m. on Wednesday a gale from the south-
west broke over the coast of Cornwall with fearful
fury. For five hours there was very little if any
abatement. Numerous vessels went ashore along
the coast, and the total loss of a small coaster and a
foreign brig, the name of which is at present un-
known, are reported to have been observed. Many
vessels were driven into Falmouth harbour for shel-
ter, and most of them require extensive repairs. At
Truro two children narrowly escaped severe inju-
ries, the roof of the cottage having been partially
blown into the room in which they were sleeping.
Some farm buildings near Truro were brought to
the ground, and many fine old trees were blown
down.

In Dublin Bay on Wednesday during a tremen-
dous squall of wind (reports Inspecting Chief Offi-
cer Haghes, R.N., of the Coastguard) a lighter in
the employ of the Board of Works, engaged in re-
moving mud from Howth harbour to the Sound,
was observed to be in a very dangerous position
close to the east pier head, and holding on merely
by a slight rope, which, had it broken, the lighter
must either have drifted out to sea or else have been
dashed to pieces against the east pier, the men on
board her, five in number, being in either case in
great peril of their lives. The lifeboat of the Royal
National Lifeboat Institution was launched at the
request of the master of the steam dredging machine,
no other aid being available, and the five men res-
cued from their dangerous position.
BLACKPOOL, Thursday.

The Rev. R. R. Resman reports that about half-
past seven p.m. on the 22d inst. intelligence was
brought that a vessel was in distress at the north
side of the town. The lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat Institution was conveyed with all expedi-
tion opposite the scene of danger, and in a few
minutes was launched into a raging sea. So strong
a surf had the: crew to encounter, that the life-
boat filled three times in succession, and with diffi-
culty lived against the wind and waves. After
hard pulling they got within a hundred and fifty
yards of the perishing ship, but at this point so
complete a gale set in for half an hour that three
races of sea broke over the men, and smashed four
oars. The lifeboat was then backed into shallow
water, and rowed up to windward, in order to make
a second attempt, but they could not get so near
as before. Driven back again, they by and bye
made a third effort, and now saw a light held from
the imperilled ship, but found it utterly im-
possible to make an advance against the heavy
head sea that was rolling, and which for two
hours and a half had been filling their boat
as they courageously fought with the billows.
The crew being exhausted after two and a half
hours hard service, and seeing all their efforts to be
futile, came on shore ; no sooner had they done so
than the vessel capsized and broke to pieces, one
side of her was washed up, and the cries of struggling
sailors was distinctly heard. The lifeboat was again
put to sea in the hope of picking up men that might
be on rafts or otherwise trying to escape, but
nothing living could be found. It was now nearly
midnight, and the lifeboat found herself locked be-
tween two cliffs on the beach, from which position
she was unable to get away without damage until
six o'clock this (Thursday) morning. All the crew
of the ill-fated ship were lost. Five bodies have
already come ashore as I write, and five more arc
wanting. It appears by the log-book, which has
been picked up, that the vessel was manned by ten
men, and is the brig Favourite, of Liverpool. She
was loaded with palm oil and seeds. Much praise
is due to the Blac'ipool crew who acted with so
much promptitude and courage in the sad emer-
gency ; they have increased confidence in their
lifeboat. I can hardly describe the sensation that
prevails here over this disaster; every one is out on
the shore, and many have been out all night. The
wailing of excited women, who thought they heard
i• the sailors screaming, was touching. The wreck
was about a mile from shore.

NORTHCAWL, S. WALES, Nov. 23.

As reported yesterday (says Capt. Buchan, R.N.)
the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was
conveyed to windward of the distressed brig an-
chored about two miles off this place, and was
finally launched, but the sea was running so high
that she could not at first board the vessel, which
was evidently abandoned, and the crew of which,
I fear, have met with a watery grave, as a boat is
now drifting on shore bottom up. The lifeboat
crew were ultimately enabled to get on board the
ship, which proved to be the brig Argo of Payal,
orange laden, and they got her under weigh and
brought her to this port. The vessel is much in-
jured, as though she had struck on the Tusker Rock
off this place.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LEAMINGTON AND WARWICK HUNT MEETING.

THURSDAY.

The gale had subsided this morning and the sun shone
brilliantly, but the weather failed to attract any larger at-
tendance, which has been below the average during the
week.

The fields in the early part of the day showed a slight
falling off, and the sport, with the exception of the Leam-
ington Grand Annual, was not very interesting. Three-
soy. handicaps, with the munificent sum of 30 added, are
not events calculated to cause much excitement except to
mere gamblers ; neither were the horses who ran to-day
much above plating form.
Mr. Heathcote has been a very fortunate man lately, and
to-day his new purchase, Gulnara, bought at Lord Stam-
ford's draught sale on Monday, won the Shorts Handicap
very easily at the nice little price of 10 to 1. There was a
very fine race between Donnybrook, Venturesome, and
Naiad, in the Handicap Sweepstakes, the latter landing by
a short head, and the other two making a dead heat for
second place. The Bra.dgate Cup was remarkable for the
tedious delay of nearly an hour which preceded the start.
Mr. M'George was unable to get them into any order until
the stewards wont down to the post, and then their autho-
rity got them despatched, the two favourites, Money-
spinner and Goldylocks, making all the running, and the
former winning by six lengths. The Hurdle Race, in con-
sequence of this long delay, was put off, and the Grand
Annual proceeded with. The late hour at which the race
was run, and the necessity of despatching our parcel, pre-
vents us from recording more than that the favourite,
L'Africaine, cut down his field after a fashion rarely seen,
and won amid loud cheers by 40 lengths. Mr. Powell has
thus well followed up his success with Fisherman yester-
day, and probably possesses in to-day's winner the best
steeplechaser we can show.
The starting was bad, and caused two events—the
Hurdle Race and the Hunt Cup Steeplechase—to be aban-
doned. At the same time we must remark that the chief
fault lies in the absurd overcrowding of the card with nine
events on a short November day.
The objection to Tiger, in the Tally-ho Stakes, on the
first day, has been withdrawn.

The Scurry Flat Race (Handicap), of 5 sovs each, h ft,
with 20 sovs added, for all ages. The winner to bo sold
by auction for 50 sovs each. To be ridden by gentle-
men. Five furlongs. Seven subs.

Doeford slipped her horses at the start, and came on
with a clear lead of the favourite, who joined her at the
distance, the pair running together to half-way up, when
Glendusk drew away, and won in a cantor by four
lengths ; a head separated the second and third. Squire
Hearty was beaten off a long way. Tho winner was not
sold.

The Winding-up Handicap of 10 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50
addod, for all ages. The winner to be sold for 300 sovs.
Winners extra; the second horse to save his stake. One

Betting-7 to 2 agst Hope, 4to 1 agst Tesane, 7to 1
each agst Jane Shore and My Cob, 8 to 1 agst Echo, and
10 to 1 agst Gulnara.
A long delay took place at the post in consequence of the
fractiousness of Tesane, who repeatedly broke away with
Heartfield. When the flag was lowered a most imperfect
start was obtained, in which Gulnara, in company with
Jane Shore, got away some lengths in advance of the fa-
vourite, who was on the turn, the others following at wide
intervals, with the exception of Echo and Tesane, who were
loft at the post. At the distance Guinara increased her
lead, and ultimately won by a length. There were four
lengths between the second and third; Sir Guy was fourth,
My Cob fifth, Rustic Beauty sixth, and Saxon Beauty and
Merry Lass next. The winner was bought by Mr. Wilson
for 65 guineas; Capt. Machell claimed Hope, and the Mar-
quis of Hastings Jane Shore.
A Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for all ages. Win-
ners after the weights aro published to carry Sib extra.

Betting-4 to 1 agst Venturesome, sto 1 each agst
Donnybrook and Attraction, 100 to 15 agst Naiad, 8 to 1
each apt Puritan and the Flutter colt, and 10 to 1 agst any
other.

The flag was lowered to an excellent start, in which
Attraction, on the inside, got away with a slight advantage
of Reindeer on his right, the pair being followed by Naiad
and Venturesome, close in whose track came Donnybrook,
Wild Thyme, and Miss Harriette. On reaching the distance
Attraction gave way beaten, followed half-way up byßein-
deer, when the running was taken up by Venturesome on
the extreme right, closely pressed by N aiad and Donnybrook
to the stand. Here the three wore clear of their hors.3s, and ran
locked to the end, and finished a splendid race home, Naiad in
the centre being landed winner, through the fine riding of
Cameron, in the last stride by a short head. Donnybrook
and Venturesome finished so close together as to prevent
the judge separating them. Miss Harriette was fourth,
close up, Reindeer fifth, Attraction sixth, Wild Thyme
seventh, and the Jaqueline gelding and Erin-go-Bragh,
side by side, were next, the last three being the Flutter
colt, Tina, and Tesane.

Two-Year-Old Plate of 50 sous; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies,

Betting-6 to 4 agst Novice, 3to 1 each agst Jura and
Slender, and 100 to 15 agst Sabrina.
The favourite, getting the best of the start, made play
for the first 200 yards, when she was headed by Jura, who
held the lead to the stand, where Loates brought up Novice,
who won cleverly by a neck, the Palm Leaf colt and Slen-
der, who headed Jura a few strides from home, finished
second and third; Jura was fourth, close up. The winner
was bought in for 200 guineas, and Mr. Ten Broeck claimed
the Palm Leaf colt, and Mr. W. Scott Slender.
The Bradgate Cup, value 100 sovs, added to a handicap of
10 sovs each, 3 ft, for three-yr-olds and upwards ; the
winner of a handicap after the weights are out (Nov. 21,

at 5 p.m.) to carry 71b extra. Entrance, 2 sous. Three

30) agst Moneyspinner, sto 1 agst Saccharometer, 100 to
15 agst Catalogue, 10 to 1 agst Wild Bee, 100 to 8 agst
Blue Mantle.

Upwards of three-quarters of an hour was consumed at
the post, and it was not until the two stewards, Lord
Westmoreland and the Marquis of Hastings, went to the
assistance of Mr. M'George that anything like order was
obtained. At last they were despatched to an equitable
start, in which Moneyspinner and Goldylocks got away
side by side a length or so in advance of The Clown,
Saccharomoter, Lion, and Catalogue, close up with whom
came Blue Mantle, Wild Bee, and Plover. They ran thus
to the first turn, when Lion ran through his horses, and
became third, which position he retained as they came along
the bottom. The leaders who bad been racing for the lead
came round the turn into the straight together, but Money-
spinner running somewhat wide left Goldylocks next
the rails with the lead, Lion at the same time hugging
the turn so close had to bo stopped, which let up Catalogue
and Saccharometer, who followed the leaders. At the dis-
tance Moneyspinner recovered her lost ground, and, head-
ing Lord Uxbridge's filly, came on with a strong lead, and
won in a canter by six lengths. Saccharometer cantered
in a bad third; Blue Mantle was fourth, Pegasus fifth,
Catalogue sixth, Wild Bee seventh, Plover eighth, and
Jupiter next. The last three wore Lion, The Clown, and
Lady Abbess.

1 agst Sugar Candy.
Ace of Hearts jumped away clear of his horses, and came
on a length in advance of Express and L'Africain to the
first fence en the far side, at which Express fell, giving

Searle a regular cropper. This error left the favourite in
attendance upon the leader, but after going a few strides
he was pulled back, and his place was taken by Sala-
mander, Sly Fox going on fourth, with the two French
representatives side by side next. Theu came at an in-
terval of several lengths Marble Hill, Sugar Candy, and
Merrimac, in close company, heading the next division,
in the rear of whom were seen Portland and General
Election, and the remounted Express. With little or no
alteration they retained these positions to the water jump,
which the three leaders came at abreast, Ace of Hearts,
however, being the first on his legs on landing, stole a
march of his attendants, and proceeded on with a clear
lead, which he increased as they entered the Lammas
Land, but Page, overlooking the flag halfway up the hill,
ran some distance, followed by Salamander, before they
discovered their mistake, and by the time they had re-
traced their stepts they were left in the extreme rear,
in company with Mr. HeatEcote's horse. This mistake
left the lead with Astrolabe, who was followed by Sly
Fox, the favourite, and Sugar Candy, wno formed the
van to the water jump a second time, the others, headed
by Portland, Valentine, and Merrimac, following at wide
intervals. On entering the meadows a mile from home,
L'Africain having disposed of Astrolabe, who shortly
after gave way to Sly Fox, the pair came on together to
the Star close, when Holman put on the steam, and
came on with a long lead, and won in a trot by 40
lengths ; Astrolabe was third, a length in the rear of Sly
Fox, Sugar Candy fourth, Merrimac fifth, and Portland
beaten off a long way.
