THE WEATHER.

On Sunday we were visited by as heavy a gale of wind
from \V. N. W., accompanied by deluging showers, as we
have experkneed for some months past. The weather on
Monday was somewhat windy, but dry and beautiful. The
country papers give accounts of the effect of the hurricane
in their respective localities, but the mischief appears to
have been but trifling in most places. The mails in many
instances have been delayed, and much inconvenience has
been the result. The communications between England
and Ireland continues interrupted by the stormy state of
the weather.

During the boisterous weather on Tuesday bight last, a
publican, at Bewdley, of the name of Tudor, was, it is
supposed, blown into the river Severn. Ills body was
found it. the river.

WillieKs._We give the following accounts from the
Cambrian of Swansea :—Oii Wednesday morning, a
schooner was wrecked near the llolmes on the Llangenith
Sands, and all hands perished. It is said that there Were
five persons on board. Another vessel, in ballast, was
driven on shore on the Llanmadock Sands, but we are
happy to say that the crew were saved, and the vessel is
likely to be got off.—The Thistle, Jenkins, from Demerara,
bound for Greenock, put into Peaarth Roads on Monday
night, having been driven up the Bristol Channel during
the gale ; mate washed overboard, and most of the crew
seriously injured. Our Milford Correspondent writes—
" The shipping here generally rode out the gale well. The
Magnet, Evans, from Llanelly, lost her bowsprit, having
been in contact with the Perthshire, from Bangor for Ips-
wich. The George the Fourth, Gates, from Llanelly to
Waterford, being aground off Hakin Point during the
gale, with her broadside to the sea, she became leaky.—
At one the brig Ann of Sunderland, Nixon, master,
fro 'n Gloucester for Leghorn, in ballast, was driven on
shore at the north-west end of Ncwgale Sands, in St.
Bride's Bay, near the bridge, and become a total wreck.
When she was broadside to, the crew were enabled to get
into the boat under the lee of the vessel, and got safe on
shore with loss of all their clothes. The Ann was a new
vessel, about 278 tons register ; she saw a schooner deeply
laden, with bulwarks on larboard side gone and boat
stove on deck, in great distress. Captain Nixon thinks
she must have foundcred.—The Indiana, Riskity, f►om
Calcutta for Liverpool, laden with sugar, came on shore
this (Thursday) morning at Fresh Water West Bay, to
the southward of this harbour, at seven A. it. Crew saved,
main and wizen mast gone, and bedded in sand.—llope,
Tucker, from Liverpool for Swansea, put in here, with
loss of fore•yard, and lost a boy overboard, named George
Jeffreys, of Northampton, shipped at Liverpool—parents
not known."

The brig Jemima Sophia, of Hartlepool, Thomas Hind-
mach, commander, laden with deal from Qubec to London,
on the 25th of December la.t, whilst lying to in longitude
36 and latitude 26, under close reefed main topsail, was
struck by a heavy sea, which swept overboard the chief
mate and one seaman, and cleared the deck of the
boats, bowsprit, formast, and main-topmast. 7he
ship lay on her broadside until she filled with
water. The crew consisted of nine men, five of whom re-
mained below until the vessel filled ; two had gained the
deck shortly after she was struck, and one was drowned in
the cabin, the sea then making a complete breach over
her. The survivors, some nearly naked, clung to the
shrouds, and remained on the wreck without sub-
sistence for eleven days, when they were fortunately
picked up by the John and Mary, of Blythe, Cap-
tain Stephenson, bound to Neath, laden with timber for
Messrs. Walters and Llewellyn, by whom they were treated
with the greatest kindness, and landed at Swansea on Sun-
day last. Immediately on their arrival, three of the suf-
ferers were admitted into the Infirmary, the captain and
one seaman having been su severely frost-bitten, that the
toes, and in the case of the seaman, a considerable portion
of the foot are sloughing off. We are happy to state that
there is every prospect of their recovery.
