GALE AT NEWFOUNDLAND.
Ext,•aet of a Letter from St. John's, IVewfaundland, dated
October 20.

" The dreadful gale of the 15th, noticed in our last commu-
nication, has been followed on the succeeding day by a dreadful
hurricane, exceeding any ever remembered here•before ; and it
is feared that the damage done to the shipping at sea must have
been very great, as since then scarcely a day has passed without
our having had portions of wreck thrown ashore, and, without
doubt, the sacrifice of life as well as property has been very
great. On the night of the 16th, a sloop was discovered on the
rocks, but from the hurricane then blowing, no assistance could
be rendered, if it would have been of any avail, and, before
morning, all traces of her had disappeared.
" The shipping in our harbour has also sustained some very
considerable damage, but doubtless not to compare with that
done along the coast, as is evident by the wreck cast on shore,
which hands us melancholy confirmation of some vessel haw.
ing foundered in the gale. A fine schooner, belonging to this
port, named the Coasters, which had just taken in a full cargo
of provisions for Labrador, by the violence of the wind was forced
from her anchors, and driven with great fury on the Pancake,
where she bilged. The crew escaped on shore, and hopes are
entertained, that, from the immediate assistance rendered by
the people on shore, the vessel and cargo will be saved—at least
such of the latter as is not damaged—should the weather not
again become tempestuous. A schooner bound for New Bruns-
wick, called the Mary, laden with a full cargo of fish, was,
during the height of the gale, totally wrecked on the Nar-
rows. One of the crew perished, but the remainder, with the
Master, after being in imminent danger, happily succeeded
in reaching the shore. A vessel from Portugal, the name of
which we have not ascertained, lost her rudder during the gale,
and two other vessels, one a brig, are reported to have been dis-
masted, but the particulars have not been ascertained. Only
one body has been washed on shore, which is ascertained to be
that of the man lost on board the Mary. A man, belonging to
Flat Island, was drowned just outside the harbour, while in a
large boat of Mr. Jefferson's, belonging to that place ; his body
has not yet been found.
" We are in daily expectation of receiving accounts of the
damage done by the gale of the other parts of the coast, which
without doubt, must have been considered, as the greatest vio-
lence of the hurricane appeared to be directed to that quarter."

HAT T ON-GARDEN.—BI GA MY.— Wilks, who was a short
time since remanded on a charge of bigamy, for the purpose
of producing both the 'wives, and procuring father evi-
dence of the first marriage, was yesterday brought up for
re-examination. His brother appeared and reluctantly gave
evidence against him. To a question from Mr. HARMER, Soli-
citor for the prisoner, whether all .the parties were sober when
first marriage took place, he replied, " I cannot, indeed, say,
Sir ; I will answer for myself, I was not. Mary Whitbread,
the second wife, gave the prisoner a most excellent character.
He was fully committed.
