THE GALE OF LAST WEEK.—SHIELDS, Oct. 24.
We have now moderate wind, fine weather, and a calm
sea. A considerable fleet of light colliers have reached
the northern ports, and the harbours have also been
tolerably cleared of laden vessels detained by the bad
weather of last week. The weather and state of the sea
are favourable to the operations for the recovery of the
vessels stranded on the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
coasts by the terrible gale of this night week, and hopes
are entertained that the loss of the north country ship-
ping property will be less serious than was at one time
anticipated. Several vessels have been already got off,
among which are the Bosphorus, the Hebe, and the
Hamilton, belonging to this port ; tie Essay, of Sun-
derland ; the Nicholas 'Wood, screw collier, and six or
eight other craft whose names are not reported. Five
or six sail of vessels, timber laden, from America, got
ashore in the gale ; the Emporium, as already re-
ported, was wrecked near Robin Hosd's Bay, on the
Yorkshire coast, and the master, his son, the cook,
and the apprentice was drowned. She appears to
have broken up. The Regent, of this port, which was
bringing timber from British America to Grimsby, and
had 21 of the shipwrecked crew of the Devonport on
board, whom they picked up on the banks of Newfound-
land, stranded, but, we are informed by telegraph, is
likely to be got off, with her cargo. The Niagara tim-
ber laden, which went ashore at Hendon, near Sunder-
land, in the gale, will also be recovered for the owners
and underwriters. The Ocean Queen, another timber-
laden vessel, which broke from her anchor and ran out
of Sunderlaud Roads in the gale, is reported to have
found a safe roadstead. As anticipated, the reports
bromght in by vessels which weathered out the gale at
sea are less- favourable, and it is to he feared that some
vessels have gone down in the storm outside and
drowned all hands. The brig Favourite has passed a
seaman's chest, some oars and spars, north-west of
Flamborough Head ; the Northumberland screw collier
has also passed through a quantity of furniture off the
Spurn, and the bodies of five seamen and papers belong-
ing to the Norwegian schooner Tanager have been cast
ashore near Grimsby. Mr. 'Watts, master of the Rugby,
of Stockton, from Quebec, also reports passing a quan•
tity of sleepers and water-casks off the Doggorbank
this night week,
AFRICAN MAlLS.—Plymouth, Wedne-iday.—The Afri-
can Steam Navigation Company's ship Bacchante, Cap-
tain Drury, sailed last evening for Madeira, Teneriffe,
and the West Coast of Africa. She has a large number
of passengers and a general cargo of manufactured goods
including a quantity of specie for the Coast. The next
mail home is expected about the 15th of November by
the Forerunner, Captain Johnson. Her successor is the
Etbiope, Captain Barnwell, which left Plymouth on the
24th of September, and is now probably at Biwa Leone,
going down the o;taitt
