THE LATE VIOLENT EQIUINOCTIAL GALES.--011
Monday last the brig Stanton, of North Shields, belong-
ing to Mr. G. Simpson, of that port, entered into the
Humber Dock, at Hull, almost a perfect wreck. It
appears that on the preceding Sunday night, about nine
o'clock, she came into the Humber within the Bull Sand
Floating-light at Spurn, blowing a perfect gale at the
time, and consequently the master ran in for refuge.
The Stanton came in contact with the brig Ruby, also
belonging to North Shields, when the former, brig carried
away her bowsprit, and after she was brought up both
her masts fell aft, splintered almost to atoms; her head,
bulwarks, &c., were also stove in; the jolly-boat visa
rendered perfectly useless; the sails, running rigging,
Ace., are also in a sad condition. No lives were lost.
The brig is now undergoing repairs. The schooner
Albion, of Whitby, laden with stone, struck on the
Trinity Sand, in the Humber, about the same time, and
went down. The crew, after much difficulty, were saved,
and forwarded to their respective homes. The Humber
pilots speak of the gale as most terrific; and their 614
vessels were very useful in rendering assistance
to disabled vessels. The pilot-boat No. 3 (Humber)
took in tow a billy-boy in a sinking state, and safely
towed her into this port, to the great satisfaction of the
master and his crew. Several other vessels ran ashore
in and near the Humber, as also the following, some of
which are attended by a melancholy loss of life. Neat;
Coatham, where the John Saltcoats was lost with all
hands, another vessel met with a similar fate on Sunday
morning—every soul perished with her. From the di-
mensions of the wreck she is supposed to have been
collier, and to have had a crew of ten hands. At day-
break on Saturday a sloop was discovered by some of the
Colne fishermen wrecked on the Gunfleet Sands, and it
is greatly to be feared that all hands and some passes'
gers met with a watery grave. In the course of Son"
day intelligence was communicated at Newcastle of the
total loss of the Hero steamer, which left Shields in the
early part of the week for Stettin. On the 27th ult.,
when off the coast of Norway, she was struek by a tro-*
mendous sea, which completely disabled her engines, se
well as sweeping everything off her deck. Shortly
afterwards she foundered. The crew were saved by the
brig Symmetry.—Hull Packet.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—The guard of the Central
train, which left the North Bridge station at one o'clock
yesterday, was struck down by one of the wooden'
bridges which span the line at the West Princes-street
Gardens, and severely, if not fatally, injured. The Bel
cident was reported at the office by a gentleman who had
witnessed it, and on the officials proceeding thither they
found his cap on the line, bearing evident proofs of the
severity of the blow. As the Central guard is seldom
required to do duty on that train after leaving Edol
burgh until it reaches the junction at Greenhill—up t°
which a guard of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company
officiates—the poor fellow was not missed till the june"
tion was reached (a distance of thirty miles), when he'
was found lying in blood, and in an insensible state, on
the top of a carriage, where it is supposed he had been
adjusting the luggage when the accident occurred. 01
name is John Bucktand, and we learn he is married and has a family. He was a very steady man, and much re'
spected in the establishment.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
ST. MARY-LE-STRAND.--The election of the vestry
clerk for this parish will take place early in the ensuing
week. The candidates have been reduced to four by the
resignation of Mr. Moseley; the contest, it is anticipate
will now rest between Mr. Yonge and Mr. Isaacson;
Mr. Yonge has already received the
promises of most of
theinfluential parishioners. Mr. Isaacson is also well
supported. The latter gentleman, however, holds
similar appointment in an adjoining parish, which is held
by many to be objectionable to his present claim, on the
ground that legal questions for diskute might arise be"
tween the two parishes.
lIEDESTRIANISAL.--J. DAWKINS AND JAS.
Two MILES, FOR 101. ASlDE.—These men, the former.
of Moortields, the latter of Westminster, ran on Tees'
day, at Harlington Corn,r, beyond Hounslow. At star
iug, Adkin got the advantage by two or three yards, but
at 50 yards Dawkins, who is a novice, came close to hil,:
ran wi..12 him awhile, and then going clean away, turns°
the first mile 15 to 20 yards in front. The race ended W
Dawkins winning cleverly by 40 or 50 yards. Time, 11
m. 5 sec.
