This morning; about three o'clock, a most tre-
mendous gale commenced ; the wind about S.S.W..
.which continued with unabated fury until
twelve -o'clock, when it became less violent ;
but-down to this nioment, when we are prepar-
ing for press, it bad not subsided. Much damage
has been done in various parts of the city-; in
York-street, a stack of chiinnies were blown down
at Mr.Burrowes Campbell's, which forced through
the roof, and made its way down to the kitchen.
A young lady, and the female servants who were
in the kitchen, were buried in the ruins ; we un-
derstand two of thew have been found in a very
mangled state. IriSackville-steet much injury has
been sustained: A great part of Kcarn's Hotel,
at the corner of great Britain-street, has been
thrown down—A public-house in Fleet-street has
been totally unrolfed; and we understand -there
are various other houses which have sustained
Much damage.—(Dublin Correspondent, Dee.•l6.)
On Monday evening last, about 20 minutea
after five o'clock, a triple knock was made at the
door of the house of Wm. BRowNE, Esq. at Kil-
macud, when five villairis rushed in, one of ‘rhorn
fired a pistol at Mr. BROWNE'S housekeeper, ‘vhich
dangerously wounded her in the face. They then
fired two shots at Mr. BkowNE, and snapped two
pistols; providentially without effect. A reward
is offered for the apprehension of the villains.—

The state of the' Consolidated Fund and the
War Taxes for the current gnarter is particularly
promising. The former has already, produced
1,000,0001. more than the corresponding• quarter
of last year ; and the surplus of the War Taxes,
compared with the same period, amounts.to about
900,0001.

df four large ordnance transports which sailed
from Portsmouth with supplies of the most essen-
tial importance to our army in Canada, not one
arrived safe: two were taken by American pri-
vateers, and two were lost.

Early on. Monday morning last, the galliot Ata-
lanta, KAPrER master, of Bremen, laden with.salt,
and bound from St. Übes to Altona, was driven
on shore near Porthleven, and went to pieces soon
after. The sea running very high, none of the
cargo could he saved, and we are concerned to
state, that the Captain and four seamen were
drowned, as were three persons belonging to the
neighbourhood of Porthleven, who had ventured
too near the x,reck, for the purpose of rendering
assistance. Six of the bodies have since been.
found, on which a Coroner's Inquest has been
held.—On Monday night, the French brig La
Jeune, ADELLR LE VAL, master, of Havre de
Grace, struck on the Mewstone at Plymouth, and
was completely wrecked..• -The master and three
of the crew were drowned ; the rest saved them-
selves by scrambling up the rock, on which they
remained exposed the whole of the night and part
of the next day, until taken off by boats from the
shore, which were humanely put off to their as-
sistance, notwithstanding the continuance of the
gale and heavy sea. The poor fellows were nearly
exhausted by fatigue and hunger.--(Royal Corn-
wall Gazette, Dec. )7.
A Court-Martial was held on board the Gladia-
tor, at Portsmouth, on Tuesday last, on Lieu-
tenant T; EVANS, (2), of his Majesty's .ship
Havoc, for drunkenness ; which being proved,
he was sentenced to be dismissed•from the Havoc,
and placed at the bottom of the list of Lieu-
tenants.

A dreadfhl eruption burst forth from the Vol-

populous towns in the province of Curnarines, and
fhe principal part of that of• Albay-1200 persons
were killed, and' many more Jreadfully %rounded.
or.burnt.
SMITEIFIE4WIC LITE CATTLE Snow.—Mr.
L ER'S yard was uncommonly crowded (h the
whole of Saturday, and it seemed a general opi-
nion with the many experienced breeders,• graziers,
salesmen, butchers, and amateurs, who examined
the several animals, and the very full labels affixed
up -at the heac4 of each.of them, that a better or
more interesting show of fat cattle had never been
made in London ; or an occasion whereon the
,Indges'opinions;were more generally approved.
