THE LATE STORMS.

BRISTOL, Nov. 27.—The mahogany door, numbered 21, picked
up off Ilfracombe, has been brought here, and is found not to he
a door bug a panel to a locker in the ladies' cabin of the un-
fortunate City of Bristol, and that the steamer which was seen off
Ilfracombe was the Queen (safely arrived), which passed about the
period mentioned, was in the squall, and might have been ob-
scured from sight by the hazy state of the weather.
The name or destination of the steam-vessel sunk on the eastern
part of the Margate Sand has not been ascertained, although it is
certain one ha• gone down. It has been reperted by many cap-
tains that the funnel of the vessel seen above water was a white one,
and, as the funnels of the St. George's Steam Packet Company's
teisels arc of that colour, it is supposed that one of the la-ge boats
leas suffered on the voyage between London and Cork. 'the Ocean
tteam.sh,p, Captain Fife, commander, belonging to the General
Steam Navigation Company, which arrived yesterday afternoon
from Rotterdam, passed a short distance from the sunken steamer,
and Captain Fife reports that he saw nothing but her to-gallant
yard visible above the water. The Ocean, on her outward ♦oyage,
put into Ramsgate harbour in distress for a few hours. With this
excep ion, the numerous ships of the General Steam Navigation
Company, traversing all parts of the wide ocean, have not suffered
any damage during the late hurricanes—a circumstance which may
be attributed to the excellent way in which these fine vessels are
manned, their strength, and the low pressure at which their p,wer_
ful engines are worked.

Pcvstourn, Nov. 28.—Yesterday the brig Theron, of Sunderland,
Captain Scott, came in, having on board Captain F. Vannis and the
crew of the bark Bodingtons, of Whitby, which vessel was water-
logged on the 4th of November, in 20 or 24 W. and 47 N. F.,-
tunately they had timely notice of the danger, and secured some
provisions from the hold in the roundhouse on deck, just before
the vessel tilled. In this perilous situation (blowing heavily all the
time) they remained from the 4th to the 12th, when the Theron
hove in sight. The weather, however, was so tempestuous, that
Captain Scott could not renturr to pick them off until the 14th,
when he nobly succeeded in saving them, and entertained them on
board his brig with the characteristic good nature of a seaman. The
Bodingtons was laden with deals, had no c'eck cargo, and was bound
from llomusco to London. On the 12th of November they were
passed by a brig in distress, having the ensign hoisted with the
union down. They could could not descry her name, but she had
" eight feet" chalked on her quarter. Next day she was out of
sight, supposed to be on her homeward course.

During the heavy gale in the Channel on Saturday week, the
brig Ebenezer, of Sunderland, Captain Graham, wishing to run
into the port of Havre, found too little water, and struck at the
point of the north jetty, and was in such a posture that n, hope of
saving her could be entertained. All the efforts from the harbour
were consequently directed to the safety of the crew, and were suc-
cessful, not a man being lost. On Sunday morning the •essel was
found on the sands, outside the walls of the Florida, in an upright
posit on, but with her masts gone by the board, and see upper works
beaten in. Throughout the day men were employed in getting out
her coals and other cargo.
SPITAL, No`• We are sorry to inform you of the loss of
file sloop Reims, Captain Steward, belonging to Leith, with a
cargo of potatoes, from the Frith of Forth to Newcastle. It was a
heavy gale during the whole of the night (Saturday), but it is un.
known at what time the unfortunate vessel was driven on shore.
We should say, f:om the appearance of the wreck upon the beach,
that the f4al catastrophe happened about two o'clock on Sunday
morning. All hands must have perished. There is nothing but
the hull remaining. The mast is gone nearly by the deck, and
the bowsprit close by the stem.head. Part of the cargo will be
oave,i is a damaged stile. None of the bodies of the crew washed
on th:it c as yrt.
