MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 23.--Wind S.W. 7r. blowbel
a heavy gale.--During the whole of last night, and up to t!iis
time, we have had one of the most tremendous gales front
S.S.E. to S.W. ever remembered here, and what, we fear,
will be productive of serious damage to the shipping of this
Port. The Shipley transport is on shore on South Seath Beach.
The Victory homeward.bound from Calcutta, a very valuable
ship, is on shore on Blackhouse Beach. The Admiral Berkly
transport, with troops for Cape Coast Castle, on shore under

and several schooners, without anchors and cables, have also
come into the harbour.

dous gale from S.S.W. to S.W., during which several of the

the South Sand Head and went to pieces ; in half an hour not.
a vestige of the vessel was to be seen; Capt. Craig, the second
mate, three seamen and a boy, were saved by four Deal boats'
crews at the imminent peril of their lives ; the remainder °fah.:
crew, 13 in number, were lost. Put back and remain the

[From the Agent to Lloyd's at Poole, dated yesterday.]
" The past has been an awful night of weather, never in
general opinion has a more tremendous gale been experienced
in this quarter of the globe. It blew very hard the fore-part of
the night, but it was not till about three o'clock in the morning
that the gale commenced its fury, and in fact it has not greatly
ceased to this moment, only that it has lightened up a little
now and then ; the wind veered somewhat to the W., now S.W.
by W., in the S. to S.S.W. A sloop is said to have been totally
lost this side of Christchurch Head, and two hands drowned, re.
ported to be stone laden, fur Southampton. The Albion, Motley,
arrived yesterday from Bahia, drifted from her anchorage, and
lies grounded in the mud in Brownsey Roads, where it is to be
hoped she is not likely to meet with any serious injury; but it
is thought the whole, or a great part of her cargo (sugar), must
be discharged, to lighten her, before she can be got off.—a most
fortunate circumstance her putting into port yesterday..
" The tide this morning was immensely high, and half the
place overflowed ; never before was any thing equal to it, and
great will be the damage and less. Shipwnghts' yards swept
clean ; never before has a storm caused so much desolation trt
this place.—lt now blows heavily, and a most threatening sky."

The Albion, Botley, from Bahia, is on shore in Brownsey
Roads, near Poole.

The Kelso, Ramsay, off and for Sunderland, was abandoned
off the Yorkshire coast, 18th instant.
The Cornelia, Sepkes, from Bahia to Amsterdam, is on ahnre
at the back of Ramsgate Pier, with four feet water in the hold.
The Hope, Nicol, from Maracaibo, was totally lost near
that place, Aug. 29

[PRIVATE LETTER.]
DEAL, Nov. 23.—A most melancholy and awful instance
of shipwreck occurred here this morning. The outward bound
West Indiaman Reline, JoaN CRAIG, master, got on the
Goodwin Sands in the course of the night, and at daylight was
seen in the most distressing situation, a perfect wreck. The
wind at this time was blowing a complete hurricane from the
south-west, with a most tremendous sea. The Deal boatmen,
with an intrepidity and disinterestedness above all prnise, were
on the alert, though, from the first, there was no hope of saving
the vessel ; several attempts were ineffectually made by the
hint-people to board the ship, at the imminent hazard of their.
own lives, when, horrible to relate, she went to pieces, and 13
of the crew unhappily met it watery grave ; but, by the perse-
vering efforts of the Deal boats, they fortunately succeeded in
saving the master, second mate, three men, and a boy, who
were landed here-about nine o'clock, amidst the sympetbising
feelings of a multitude of persons collected on the beach, anxi-
ous to learn the particulars of so heart-rending a catastrophe.
It is impossible to speak of the Deal boatmen upon this occa-
sion in terms of sufficient admiration, since but for their excr.-
eons every soul on board must have inevitably perished. Wo
hope, therefore, that " the Royal National Instal-glen for the
preservation of life front shipwreck," lately founded in the
metropolis, will reward the highly enterprising conduct of
these men, with a liberality equal to their merits.
