COWS-TUESDAY.

MAY. RUN MAD.—We were yesterday visited by one of the
most violent gale 3 of wind, accompanied by the heaviest sea
ever remembered ; f*.rar of the small craft afloat escaped with-
out injury, and most of the boats and lighters were sunk. The
Ides, Hollis mastsr, was driven on shore, as was the Oberon
yacht, the sea making a clean breach over her ; but being on
the mud she was /rot off next tide without injury. The cause-
way belonging to A. Corbet, Esq., is great part swept away,
with that part of the Parade which joined it, as far as the.
house of the Royal Yacht Squadron, in front of which the sea-
wall was ten feet thick, yet not strong enough to withstand the
waves that rolled in on it. The spray flew.over the parade as
far as the King's House, the summer residence of the Earl of
Listowel ; the South Parade 'is almost impassable ; great part
of the quay in front of the late 11. •TOwnshend' property
thrown down ; indeed all the quays have sustained serious in-
jury. The sea dashing over the tops of the houses in many
places, fell in the street. The vessels in the harbour could be
seen, one minute with their bowsprits under water, the next
with their keels out ; while the ships in the R 'ads seemed
to be little affected by the gale. The town is repairing the
breach made in the Parade by the gale of the 17th February,
from the Marine Hotel to the front of the King's House ; from
that point Mr. Ward claims to Mr. Corbet's ; but declines to
repair ; therefore the inhabitants and visitors arc likely to be
deprived of this pleasant promenade, as he will neither let
them have it, nor keep it himself, but gives it to the sea.
A quantity of wool, tallow, and linseed, part of the cargo
of the brig Sussex, towed into this port, dismasted by the bark
Arid, has been landed. The linseed having been damaged
by the water getting to it, was found to be so heated as to
make the tallow ooze from the casks ; great fears were enter-
tained that it would set tire to the ship, a body of smoke issu-
ing from the seed in the state-cabin, and from that which was
stowed near the foremast, on the wool being removed ; and it
was the general opinion the absence of atmospheric air alone
prevented its bursting into a blaze ; above 300 bags of linseed
were in a damaged state.
The American ship Eliza Susan having been repaired, her
cargo (coffee) is being re-shipped—nearly one-sixth was found
to be more or less damaged.
