FATAL EFFECTS OF THE LATE

STORM.

In addition to the calamitous occurrences before reported
we have received accounts frnm various parts of the coast of
a most afflicting cheracter On the coast of Ireland especially
the damage done by the w;nd appears to have boon very great,
and the tide was in many parts of the United Kingdom so high
as to completely inundate the streets and to make the roads
impassable. The continued rains have also flooded many
parts of the country, and several lives have been lost in conse-
quence. We select the following morts from the provincial
and Irish Papers, beginning with the latter
LOSS OF THE ST. PATRICK STEAMER.-( From the We-
terford Mirror of Saturday morning. )—We regret to have to
announce the total wreck of the St. Patrick steamer, George
Shute, master, and the loss of six persons—her two mates (John
Tuckey and Wm. Trail), two of her seamen (Rowley Jones
and David Humphrey), and two steerage passengers, man and
wife, natives of the County Tipperary, who bad just landed at
Liverpool after a three years' residence in America. They had
fondly anticipated spending the remainder of their term of life
in their native land, enjoying that competence for which they
had travelled so far and toiled so hard ; but the hope was dis-
appointed, under circumstances most melancholy. The St.
Patrick left Liverpool at seven on Tuesday morning, with a
tolerably full cargo of merchandize, assorted in the usual va-
riety. She experienced a dreadfully rough passage, during
some part of which she was " hove to," unable to make pro-
gress against the gale, and at twenty minutes to five o'clock on
Wednesday evening, she was driven on the rocks at Church-
town, in the County Wexford, a quarter of a mile inside Hook
Tower, the entrance of the harbour, where she instantly be-
came a total wreck losing six persons—twenty-three persons
being providentially saved. An hour before this final and me-
lancholy catastrophe, while approaching Hook Tower, she was
struck by a sea that carried away her boats and some of her
bulwarks. Immediately afterwards she was struck by another
surge, which carried away her steering wheel and binnacle, and
the first mate, who, with others, was steering at the time. She
was then worked by tackles, the hook of one of which broke,
and the second mate was carried away. The vessel thus be-
came unmanageable, and yielded to the irresistible force of the
storm.

The barque Isabella, of Preston, Captain Ryner, from Per-
nambuco, for Liverpool, laden with cotton, entered this har-
bour on Monday night, during a dreadful gale. She went
aground on Drumroe Bank, a large shoal near Duncannon,
but was got off at flood-tide on Tuesday by the master and
crew of the Scott pilot boat, and brought to anchor in Dun-
cannon Bay, the wind having entirely lulled. Wednesday
morning the gale having again increased to a dreadful storm,
she was torn from her anchors, and driven a second time on
Drumroe Bank, where she lay beating in on the sand, the sea
flying over her in a truly awful manner. At two o'clock, her
ensign flag was hoisted, union down, as a signal of distress,
upon which Mr. Benjamin Conn, the very efficient head of the
Pilot establishment at Passage, accompanied by his son, Mr.
John R. Conn rowed to her, and were fortunately enabled to
board her, although it was with extreme difficulty the boats
were preserved alongside, for the sea was so heavy that it
threatened to .knock the *oats to pieces. About an
hour after the Messrs. Conn—whose condtre-vrtr —the'
occasion entitles them indeed to a large portion of
credit—had boarded the vessel, and while they were
engaged in clearing away the wreck, the vessel beat over
the •Bank, and settled into deep water. The Messrs. Conn
and their adventurous crew were fortunately able to leave the
vessel before she heeled on her beam ends, which she did im-
mediately, and drove on shore in Artherstown Bay. Nearly

SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE..--WICKLOW, TUESDAY
NIOHT.—At half-past 11 o'clock this morning a French
brig in distress rounded this head, when a boat manned with
five brave fellows put out to her assistance, despite the entrea-
ties of their families and friends, it being the opinion of the
more experienced that no boat, however ably managed, could
live in the tremendous breakers dashed in by a heavy gale
from the south .east. Notwithstanding, these poor fellows
pulled off to the aid of the brig, and they made for her amid

reached the shore almost lifeless. As to the saving of the
brig's crew, no description could do adequate justice to the in-
trepidity and resoluteness of Mr. Jones and the men of the
coast guard under his command. Having tied ropes about
their bodies, Mr. Jones and one of his gallant men faced the
mountainous billows, and though repeatedly dashed and
crushed to earth beneath their fury, still they braved them,
till they reached the vessel. They found the crew, six in
number, quite exhausted, and they succeeded in lodging them
comfortably in the station.house at the point. The Captain
of the brig is in a very weak state; he and his men are fo-
reigners As yet nothing has been ascertained respecting her
cargo or intended destination.
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 28.—1 t is rumoured this morning that
the brig above-mentioned turns out to be a smuggler laden
with brandy and rum.
SUPPOSED WRECK ON THE NORTH-EAST COAST.—A sealed
bottle, inside of which was a hastily written note, was
picked up yesterday by Mr. Jer. Brown, on the strand, about
half a mile from Carlingford. The note is as follows :
" SHIP JuNo, —A heavy squall has laid us on our beam ends,
lat. 55, and carried away all masts. We are now rigging
jury ones, but we fear will be short of spars, almost all being
washed overboard.—Newry Telegraph.
( Signed) .‘ J. CARSON."
BELFAST.—During the whole of yesterday, there prevailed
the most tempestuous weather that we have experienced
since the commencement of the winter. The violence of the
wind rendered walking in the streets very dangerous, from the

falling slates and chimneys; and in the evening a large new
house, which had been roofed in, at the corner of Chichester-
street and Edward street, was blow down. Happily the
workmen were not on the spot, and no person was near at the
time of the accident, or the consequences would have been
serious. The rain poured down incessantly, and the low fields
on May's-ground, adjacent to the Lagan embankment, are
under water, to the depth, in some places, of several feet.
We hear that a portion of the bank has given way, and that
the tide flowed up, as on a former occasion or two. It is to be
dreaded that the intelligence from the coast will be disastrous.
—Belfast 117tig.
The Ariadne was driven on Monday night upon the north
bar of the entrance of Wexford harbour, where she settled
down ; and the remainder of the crew were compelled to take
to i the rigging to save their lives. They remained in
this dreadful situation till the following day about one o'clock,
when exhausted from fatigue, cold, and hunger, three of the
poor fellows let go their holds, in order to get at some pork in
the fore part of the ship, and melancholy to relate, they were
washed overt •Ird and seen no more.

The Juno is supposed to have sunk.
WRECK OF THE MARY OF LlVERPOOL—lntelligence of
the total wreck of the above vessel reached us yesterday morn-
ing. From letters received since then, we learn that she
stranded off Ring, near Clonakilty, in the the west of this
County, in the gale of Tuesday morning. The Mary was a
fine vessel of 368 tons burthen, commanded by Captain
George Smith, was bound from Maranham in South America,
for Liverpool ; had on hoard 17 hands—all of whom are saved
—and a very valuable cargo, consi,ting, amongst other articles
of between four hundred and five hundred bundles of Sarspa-
rilla. 50 barrels of Balsam Capivi, 40 or 50 casks of India
Rubber, Isinglass, 20 bales of Cotton, &c., &c. When first
seen off the land, the vessel was completely dismasted, the sea
breaking over her with great violence. By the exertions of
,everal gentlemen in the neighbourhood—particularly the
Messrs. Lucas, Gallwev, and Crofts, the Master and crew
were got off safely. In the course of the day she went to pieces,
and the destruction of property by the country people from
that moment is represented as being enormous, very little of
the cargo being saved.
WRECK OF THE CLEMENTSON OF WIITTEHAVEN._.This
morning's letter announced that the barque Clementson, of
Whitehaven, John Newby, master, bound from Porto Cabello
for Liverpool, is on shore at 13allycotton—all hands saved.
She was yesterday 13ing on her side bilged ; but it was thought,
from the dreadful weather that prevailed, that ship and cargo
must he totally lost. The latter (very valuable), consists of
Copper Ore, Cotton, Indigo, Chil-weed, &c. The Inspecting
Commander of the Coast-guard had sent for the aid of the

The above reports are only a few or those with which the
Irish Papers abound. The Cork Southern Reporter, with
other papers, contains whole columns detailing th'- most disas-
trous shipping intelligence. We now proceed to make extracts
from the country papers of England and Wales :
FOURTEEN LIVES LOST.—In common with other parts of
the county, at Monmouth, the Varteg, near Pontypool, has
suffered from the effects of the severe and heavy storms of the
week. On Wednesday the river which flows by that place was
continually rising, until at last it arrived at a fearful height,
and about two o'clock, at a spot a little below the Varteg,
the banks of the river gave way, and the impetuous torrent,
in an instant, spread in every direction, and rushed on in its
destructive course. There was unfortunately situated close to
the outbreak a small cottage, which was occupied by a poor
man named Richard Pugh, his wife, and three children. The
only inmates in the house were the three children, aged_ re-
spectively seven years, three years, and ten mouths. During
the short absence of the poor woman the devastating element
had entered her habitation, filling it to the roof; and, al-
though the accident was immediately observed, the little inno-
cents were drowned. The house is completely gutted, no-
thing but the bare walls remaining. It is our painful duty
to record another accident, also caused by the heavy floods,
at Blanmvon, on the same day, and which has been attended
with a greater and more deplorable loss of human life. It ap-
pears from the particulars of this dreadful calamity, furnished
to us by a correspondent, that on Wednesday, between one
and two o'clock, a large pond which supplies the works had,
in consequence of the increased flush of water from the hills,
burst its bounds, and through some unacconntable cause, the
water, instead of emptying itself into the usual channel, di-
rected its course towards the bridge level, where there were a
great many individuals at work. The water rushed into the
level, and those persons who were employed in the upper
range immediately ran out and escaped ; but lamentable to
state, there were 15 persons missing—consisting of 11 men,
and two boys and two girls, who were working in the lower
level, and who had no opportunity of escaping ; and it is sup-
posed they all met a watery grave. Up to Thursday evening
none of the bodies had been found, and although great activity
prevailed in pumping out the water, still it is feared that a
fortnight or three weeks will elapse before the remains of the
unfortunate persons will be recovered —Hereford Times.
The port of Weymouth was visited with one of the most
violent hurricanes within recollection, on Sunday morning,
which continued the whole of that day, and Monday and
Tuesday following, until the ebb tide in the afternoon of the
latter day, the wind blowing from the eastward, veering from
cast to south-east, with a most tremendous swell. During
the height of the gale on WedneiClay, the sea broke over the
beach, and has laid the whole of Lodmoor under water, which
now resembles the sea, and the turnpike road is for the pre-
sent impassable.
On Tuesday a severe gale from the E. S. E. was expe-
rienced at Weymouth ; and on Wednesday, the wind changed
to the west, and continued during the whole of that day and
night to blow a perfect hurricane. During the night two
vessels were wrecked on Portland Beach, opposite Langton,
names unknown, and all hands perished.
A long list of disastrous occurrences of a similar character
are reported.

FIVE VESSELS LOST.—WIVENIIOE, Nov. 22.—During the
last few days the weather has been exceeding bad, with a great
deal of rain; it commenced last Saturday, with the wind from
the eastward, and very thick. A schooner, called the Ocean,
of Sunderland, 126 tons, Banfred master, laden with 3,700
dozen bottles, earthenware, coals, &c., got on the Aliddle, and
soon afterwards became a complete wreck, with her cargo;
crew saved by the smack Beulah, of this port, James master,
and landed at \Vivenhoe. On the same day the Leda, of
Scarborough, burden 221 tons, was lost on the Shipwash ; and
on the following day the Mantura, of Scarborough, 200 tons
burden ; the Science, of Scarborough, 232 tons, and the
Medway, of Sunderland, about the same tonnage, were lost on
the Gunfleet ; the respective crews were all saved, and landed
at Harwich, Brightlingsea, and \Vivenhoe. The total amount
of loss is very little short of 15,0001. It is a very singular and
unfortunate circumstance, thet all three of the Scarborough
ships belonged to one owner.—Essex Herald.
PnvmouTo, DEC. I.—During the greater part of yesterday
and this day we have been visited by a continued heavy fall of
rain, arid the consequence has been that the lower part of this
city and St. Thomas is very much inundated. Out at sea
several vessels have sustained injury. Whilst we write the
rain continues incessant, accompanied by more than half a gale
of wind,. 6
which_. has sprung up this morning, veering at inter-
vals from S. E. to S. W. Great has been the damage in our
streets by the falling of chimney-pots, pantiles, and slates, to
the serious annoyance of those who are compelled to venture
forth.

The loss of life at Clovelly, during the late storm, is not so
great, we are happy to say, at was at first supposed. Two of
the missing boats were picked up by a vessel, and taken into
Bridgewater; and two others were driven under Lundy Island,
where they got shelter, and were preserved. This makes a
difference of eight or ten persons in the number said to have
been drowned.—Cambrian.

SUIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.—The Hampshire Adver-
tiser states that the brig Wonder, on the morning of the 20th
ult., llamburgh to London, with a cargo of wheat and staves,
was driven on shore at Winterton, outside of the outer bank.
The chief officer and men of the Coast Guard immediately
proceeded with the apparatus and Dennett's rockets, and a
communication was made with them on the first fire, as has
always been the case in every instance in which they have been
brought into operation. It was, however, soon apparent that
the crew were utterly ignorant as to what they were to do with
the line which had been thus sent to them. Whilst every effort
was being made to induce them to secure themselves to the
rocket lines, a party was dispatched for the life boat, but the
distance being so far, and the difficulty of procuring horses and
of the travelling so great, that she did not arrive till after the
vessel had gone to pieces, and the last man had perished. Five
lost their hold by the fall of the mainmast. We could scarcely
have supposed it possible that any men who profess to call
themselves sailors could have been so utterly destitute of re-
sources, as to perish with such ample means of deliverance in
their own hands.

RYI)F., DEC. I.—The oldest inhabitant of Ryde cannot re-
men bcr such a storm as the one we were visited with on
Wednesday and Thursday, accompanied with thunder and
lightning. We are happy to say the damage done is not of a
very serious nature.

SWANSEA HARBOUR.—On Wednesday evening and Thurs-
day morning last, the wind blowing a very strong gale from
the south-west, the tide rose to the extraordinary height of 23
feet two inches, as indicated by the tide guage on the pier,
being seven feet two inches above its proper level. The baro.
meter fell to 28, which is a very extraordinary occurrence in
this part of the country. —Canibria7l.—[ In the same paper are
detailed several wrecks ; the crews in some of the vessels men-
tioned have perished.]
The subjoined reports, excepting that from Brighton, show
that, in the part of the country to which they refer, the
weather, though bad, has not been much worse than is fre-
quently experienced in November :
The weather during the past week has been boisterous in
the extreme, and the rain has been almost incessant. On
Wednesday night the wind, which had been blowing a strong
gale, increased to a hurricane, and about three in the morning
there was a violent storm of thunder, lightning, and I

down during the night season.—Carnervon Herald.
The weather has been very changeable in this neighbour-
hood during the week. On Monday and Tuesday we had
keen frost, which suddenly changed on Tuesday evening to
hail, rain, and snow. Wednesday was a very rainy day, and
at night and during Thursday the wind was very boisterous.!
North Derbyshire Chronicle.
BRIGHTON, DEC. 3.—We still continue to experience the
most tempestuous weather. Although on Saturday the wind
had Considerably abated, and the weather was comparatively
fine, yet towards the afternoon it came on to blow hard, and
inhabitants
were rain poured in torrents. About noon the
were surprised by a loud salute of cannons, and on . num-
bers proceeding to the beach to discover the cause, it was
found that Captain Greville had ;,..ist arrived in our
roads, in his beautiful little yacht, from 1-I,:_nouth, having
accompanied Lord Durham to that port from Canada.
The vessel, after firing the salute, proceeded on its
course towards Portsmouth. On Saturday evening the
storm raged with violence, and early on Sunday morning
a Norwegian vessel (the Johanna) came on shore about a mile
to the cast of Black Rock. She was without cargo or crew,.
and has already begun to go to pieces. Last evening was ac-
companied by violent gusts of wind, rain, and thunder and
lightning. About twelve o'clock a burst of thunder was heard
that aroused many of the inhabitants from their beds, and di-
rectly afterwards the electric fluid struck one of the northern
spires of the palace, which it destroyed, although fortunatety
without injuring the rest of the edifice. The sentry on duty
was much frightened, and gave the alarm. Towards this
morning the storm abated, and it is now (nine o'clock A. M. )
very fine. The name of the unfortunate French ves-
sel, whose wreck we announced on Saturday, is the
Martin de Savreau—two bodies have been picked up in the-
neighbourhood, supposed to be a portion of the crew.
During the fierce gale on Friday a French brig, Les Deux
Edouards, laden with wine and brandy, appeared in our
roads under bare poles. Notwithstanding the enormous sea
that was running at the time, a party of our fishermen put out
to her. She proved, however, to have sustained no damage,
and the Captain declined all offers of assistance. She rode-
out the gale in a surprising manner, and has since proceeded,
on her course to Havre. Considerable damage has been done
in the neighbourhood of Chichester by the overflowing of
lands by the floods. On the estate of Mr. John Burton, a
plough in team was struck by the electric fluid ; the horses
were knocked doen, but otherwise nut injured ; but the lad
who attended them was picked up insensible, and remains
in a precarious state. At \%'inchilsea the electric Niel
struck the chimney of a house, and decended through the
roof to the chamber and kitchen : in the latter room a child
was slightly scorched by her clott•es taking fire. In the
neighbourhood of Rye much damage has also been done by the
lightning.
Yesterday, the 29th November, all day, the barometer stood
here at 28i inches, being lower than has been observed for
some years. The weather has been and continues squally,
but not particularly so. We are apprehensive, however, that
we shall hear of storms elsewhere, as the quicksilver seldom
falls so low without an accompanying convesion somewhere,
althought it may happen to be at a great distance from tts.--,
Sunderland Herald.

In the beginning of the week the weather was intensely
cold, and on the Tuesday night we had a fall of snow. The
weather has been milder since that time, but very stormy.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S-YESTERD4 T.

The Derby betting commenced early in the afternoon,
finished nearly half an hour later than usual, and ranged over
an extensive field ; taken in the aggregate it was heavy, but
not productive of any important results. The favourite was
not backed, but two or three offers to take 11 to 1 proved that
be has gained upon last week's quotation. Ilderim, Flam-
beau, and Accelerator, were severally backed at 20 to I each,
and left off as they opened. Westonian, nominally at 22 to 1,
is absolutely friendless. Of the 30 to 1 class those most in re-
quest were Zimmerman, Tros, Erin-go-Bragh, and Epidaurus ;
the first mentioned of the four was backed to win a large stake
without making any corresponding advance. Tros and Epi-
daurus had several friends. The subjoined list shows that a

PEDESTRIANISM.

THE EXTRAORDINARY ---FfiATACC7);;LISPI ED.-Harris, the
pedestrian, completed his unparalleled undertaking of walking
1,750 miles in 1,000 successive hours, being one mile and three
quarters each hour, at twenty-five minutes past twelve on Sunday
night, when he received the warmest congratulations of his
numerous friends, who had gone from town to witness the ter-
mination of this astonishing match. Harris's feet are very
much. blistered, and he has suffered at intervals much pain in
his limbs (particularly during the past week) from the conti-
nually drenching storms of rain to which he was exposed.
Harris says that when he undertook the wager he was fully
prepared to meet with a good deal of wet and inclement weather,
from the advanced period of the year; but the variableness
and severity of the atmosphere to which he has been subjected
have far outstripped his utmost calculations, and sufficient to
break down and ruin even the constitution of a horse. The
cough under which lie labours, caught about ten days since,
has harassed him considerably both day and night, and seems
so firmly interwoven with his system, that he expresses himself
fearful that it will adhere to him through life. He looks for-
ward with great anxiety to the next six or seven days, because
he has always found, from fourteen years' experience, that after
he has concluded any pedestrian undertaking, he suffers more
excruciating pain for that period of time than during the actual
performance of any laborious task in which he away have been
engaged ; indeed, he says, so great has been his sufferings
upon all former occasions, that he has not been able to go from
his bed-chamber down stairs, without assistance, for several
days together.
