In the dreadful accident of yesterday, when she was dis-
masted, two seamen were thrown overboard by the violence
of the fall, and were drowned. Two others were seriously
maimed.

It appears that every precaution was used, after taking
out the sprung bowsprit, by getting up runners and tackles,
to secure the masts ; but in the hurricane, which blew for
several hours, the foremast runner cave way, and the. mast
falling aft, carried away the mainmast also. The Com-
mander was on shore, but all the other officers were on
board. Every exertion was used to save the yards and
spars, though many were carried overboard, and in all pro-
bability will be lost.
The Philadelphia American packet, which was on shore,
has been got off, and is now safe in this harbour. The
Barossa Leansport, and Sarah convict-ship, about whcirn
there were serious apprehensions, are also safe in harbonr...

An inquiry will take place into the serious affair of the
Serpent losing her masts ; but, from what we have heard,
there does not appear to be blame attached anywhere.
• (FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
In addition to the long list of casualties inserted yester-
day, we regret to have to add the following :
Ili.usoATE, Nov. 29.—Throughout the whole of last
night it blew a severe gale of wind from W. Much da-
mage has been done in consequence, and cue person, named
Scott, a plumber by trade, was killed by the falling down
of part of a wall, near the new baths that are being erected,
and others were injured, but not seriously; but the greatest
devastation has occurred to the shipping in the Downs (a
large number have accumulated there in consequence of
the wind prevailing so long from the westward), several of
them being dismasted, others losing anchors and cables, and
some driven on shore, amongst which are the following :—The
barque Acasta, Royal, of North Shields, from Honduras to
London, on shore near the West Pier, main and mizen-
masts cut away, the hull much injured, and full of water—
eight weeks' passage ; the barque Brankenmoor, Richards,
from London for Rio de Janeiro, on shore in Sandwich Bay,
full of water, main and mizen-masts gone; also the French
barque Cora Julie, of Havre ; Perechean, from New York to
Havre, on shore near Broadstairs, main and mizen-masts cut
away, and fore yard gone ; crews all safe and landed here.
Reports are current here that two of the bevelling boats
belonging here are lost in the bay, with part of their crews ;
and it is also reported that six or seven men were seen on
some wreck, but nnknown whether saved or not. The fol-
lowing vessels have come in for shelter, some with loss of
anchors and cables, and other damage :—The Johan Her-
man, Jansen, from Ernbden, for Gloucester ; Transit (s),
Wrightson, from Lisbon, for London.; Emilie, Endresen,
from Copenhagen, for Algiers ; Arsene, Le Francais, from
Riga, for Fecamp Ruby, BUtiet, from London, for Ply-
mouth ; Hero, Griffiths, from London, for Bridgewater ;
Atlantic, Scott, from Sunderland, for Southampton. Eight
".M.—lt is now pretty moderate from the west, but the
night looks dark and gloomy.
SHEERNESS, Nov. 29.—The gale this morning increased
to a dreadful hurricane, blowing from the southward to W.
by N., with more violence than has ever been experienced by
the eldest inhabitants of this place. A quarantine brig, with
the yellow flag flying, drove from Stangate-creek, and is
now on the Oaze, between Queenbortugh-spit buoy and
Stangate-creek ; two boats' crews have just launched their
beats to go off to her from here, but from the heavy gale, it
is feared they will not be able to board her. His Majesty's
frigate iEolus, riding in Salt-pan Reach, drove from her
moorings, and afterwards brought up her own anchor, with-
out further damage, about half way down the harbour. Two
of the Chatham packet vessels and an Ordnance hoy have
driven from our harbour onshore, upon the Lapin, near our
pier. A deeply loaded barge with her sail blown away, the
men on board.had been seen primping since day light, parted
about 12 30 noon, and drove down off Cheney Rock, and
there sunk ; the crew have taken to their boat, and are
driven round under the island. The steam-packet Zephyr,
give, master, from Chatham, brought up under the garri-
son,but, on the wind veering round to the W. by N.,' she
got under weigh, and run under the island, vith several
other vessels, but the weather has been so dreadfully
boisterous, that no communication has taken place. The
damage done by the gale on shore is very considerable.
Several houses have been unroofed, and chimneys blown
down. In one instance, a stack of chimneys blew down in
High-street, Mill Town, where an aged woman, between
sixty and seventy years of age, was shut in between
the two falling floors, but, we are happy to say, was
afterwards rescued from her alarming situation with tri-
fling hurts. The whole range of streets is literally strewed
with bricks, framing, tiles, &c.' The roofs of the New
Church and gas-house have received considerable damage.
A part of the new roof over one of his Majesty docks in
this yard blew down, by which four men received hurts,
two of whom are very serious. The gale has struck terror
to the inhabitants of this place : persons fear to go into the
streets ; sheets of lead are hurled from the roofs of houses
like so much paper ; amongst the whole line of sentinels
round the boundary wall of his Majesty's dockyard, not one
of their boxes is standing, and some of them are blown a
considerable distance from their stations. 5 P.M.—The
two boats' crews have succeeded in getting to the quaran-
tine brig, Betsy Black, of Dundee ; the Lusitania s boat's
crew have carried out an anchor and hawser, and succeeded
in getting her off—she is now brought tip in deep water.
The gale has moderated a little ; two men have boarded
from the boat, and the remainder are employed in carrying
off an anchor and cable from here. The brig before men-
tioned as having driven from the creek, left two anchors
and cables there, which will be recovered when the weather
permits. Wind W. by N., blowing a heavy gale, with
showers of hail and rain. Barometer 28 20, thermometer .54.
