destroy her interests. This determination, it says, has
b,!en ev(l.ont from 'he commencement, of the present
peace.
The Siecle contends that the power of Mehemet Ali
is essential for the maintenance of the equilibrium of
Europe, and saya it is the height of insolence in Lord
Palmerston not to admit this truth. This journal con-
siders that the note of November 2 is an insult to the
present Cabinet in France, as Lord Palmerston had
been apprised that M. Guizot had adopted the note of
M. Thiers.

The National, whilst it attacks Lord Palmerston for
what it considers to be his feelings against France, ad-
mits that, as far as argument goes, he has the advan-
tage over M. Tillers. He had, says the National, de-
clared himself, at the same time, the advocate of the
Treaties of the Holy Alliance, and the protector of a
man who is a living negation of these treaties.
The Quolielienne merely observes upon the note of
Lord Palmerston that everything now remains in the
hands of the Divan, and that the despatch of Oct. 15
to Lord Ponsonby is all that could be done in favour of
Mehemet Ali, and all that could be granted to the sup-
plications of M. Thiers.
The Temps describes the note of Lord Palmerston
as a cavalier production, and merely holds out a hope
that England will intercede with the Sultan in favour of
Mehemet Ali, if the other Powers consent, and that
the Sultan will not oppose his Allies.

THOROGOOD'S RELEASE.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIM SUN.

Sir.—Speculation being afloat as to who is the libe-
rator of John Thorogood, a clue to the gentleman may
be afforded by the communication of the fact that Mr.
G. Sowrav, who forwarded the release, is a protegee
of Lora John Russell, and was formerly a Clerk in the
office of the Steward to the Duke of Bedford.

Pimlico, Nov. 16, 1840.

The successor of the late Admiral Fleming, as
Governor of Greenwich Hospital, has not yet been
determined on by the Government. Sir Edward Coo-
rington is generally referred to, in the best informed
circles, as the most probable, among the many gallant
officers who are eligible to the important and valuable
appointment.—Globe. [We sincerely trust that the
hero of Navarino may receive the appointment ; for there
is no officer in the service more worthy of it.—ED.

BOLLS' COURT.(THIS DAY.)

HALES V. DARRELL.--JUDOSIENT.
In this case Sir Edward Hales, the testator in the cause,
in his lifetime granted annuities of 3001. to each of his two
sisters, Madame de Zeuchier and Madame de Morlain-
court, and by his will he gave to the former an annuity of
90/ a year for her life, and to the latter an annuity of
300/ for her life. He also gave an annuity of 1,500/. a
year to his wife for life ; and in the progress of the cause,
it being desirable to ascertain whether the annuity of the
idotv could be safely paid, it was referred to the Master
to ascertain whether there were any charges on the devised
estates prior to the widow's annuity. The Master reported
there were the annuities of 3001. a year granted by the tes-
tator to his two Sisters. The confirmation of that report
was opposed by the infant plaintiff, who presented a peti-
tion prayieg for a direction to the Master as to the annuities
of 900/. if 500/. were given in satisfaction of the annui-
ties of 300/ secured to them upon the testator's estates;
and it being alleged the circumstances were not fully in-
vestigated, a reference back to the Master was made to as-
certain all the annuities, and to state his opinion to the
Ccurt. Under this order the Master reported that the two
annuities of 3001. continued to be subsisting charges, not-
withstanding the bequests of the annuities by the will. In
conducting the inquiry the Master received parole evidence
of declarations made by the testator for the purpose of
showing he intended the annuities given by the wilt to be
in addition to the annuities previously granted. The pe-
tition on which judgment was now
given, and which was
argued last week, objected to the reception of some parts
of the evidence which the Master had received, and to the
conclusion at which he had arrived.
The MASTER of the Rotes said he had considered the
case, and was of opinion that, independently of any parole
evidence, the annuities given by the will could not be con-
sidered as given in satisfaction of the annuities secured by
deed. The Master's report must therefore be confirmed,
but there must be a further inquiry as to what was due in
respect of all the annuities, and the Master must state the
amount thereof in his general report.
The COURT then took motions, and having gone through
the Bar, proceeded with the cause paper.

JOSLING V. KARR.
The bill in this case was filed by Nathaniel Josling,
praying that the defendant might be ordered to assign to
the as executor of the will of Thomas Karr,
two leasehold houses in Jeffrey's-street, Kentish Town,
mentioned in the will, free from ineumbrances. The
testator in his life-time purchased the two houses of the
defendant from him, and paid the purchase money;to 800/.,
but no conveyance or consignment was executed. By
iris will be bequeathed the property to his son for life,
and after his death to his grandson, with limitation over;
and the plaintiff had filed the bill as executor, in order, to
obtain the assignment, so that he might be enabled to ex-
ecute the trusts of the will in case of the defendant's death.
The defendant put in a demurrer from want of equity and
war, t of parties, and upon this demurrer the case had come
before this Court.

Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Rogers supported the de-
murrer, and Mr. Kindersley and Mr. Simpson opposed it.
The MASTER of the ROLLS thought the record was de-
fective for want of parties, and would therefore allow the
demurrer on that ground, but would give the plaintiff
leave to amend. With regard to the other point, he fcund
it rather difficult to persuade himself that the executor
under the peculiar circumstances of the case had no duty
to perform, but in the absence of the parties interested,
he could not decide that question. He hoped, however,
the parties would endeavour to come to some arrangement.

M:. KINDERSLEY said he had made a suggestion to his
client, which he hoped both sides would act upon. It
was a great pity to spend money upon a controversy of
this description.

The MASTER Of the ROLLS observed that it very fre-
quently happened the first congress of the parties was in
open court, and they then mutuall.) understood each other
for the first time.
ATTORNEY GENERAL V. BRETTINGRAM.

In this case the Court had decided that certain trans-
actions with the charity property could not stand, and the
c,se stood over in order that the parties might if possible
effect an arrangement among themselves. This has not
yet been done; and upon the case being called on to-day,
at the request of Mr. Kinclersley, it was further postponed
to the last cause day in next term.

THE LATE AWFUL GALE.

SUNDERLAND.—SEVERAL LIVES LOST.
FRIDAY, Nov. 13..--A dreadful storm, such as has not
occurred since January, 1838, has been blowing upon the
co❑st for the last twenty-four hours. The few days pre-
vious had in no degree warranted the severe weather
that has since succeeded ; and a number of vessels, all
heavily laden, had put to sea in the expectation of making
their destined ports with fair winds. At about four o'clock
this morning the v,ind sprang up from the south-east,
which, by six, had freshened into a breeze ; and gave
token of a desperate day, insomuch that every steam-boat
in the harbour was put in requisition for immediate use,
when the tide should admit of their endeavours being
brought into operation with efficiency. Before nine o'clock
the forenoon a perfect hurricane had set in, which con-
tinued without interaiission for several hours. Numbers
crowded to the pier, whence news had spread through the
town that many vessels were vainly endeavouring to make
the harbour. Owing to the haziness of the weather, it
was difficult to distinguish objects at any considerable
distance.

Within aOO yards of the shore the Syria (a beautiful
vestal of 210 tons burden, which had only been launched
on the previous day, belonging to the Messrs. Nicholson)
had got jammed among the rocks, and a little farther ofl,
another bark of similar dimensions, was buffeting the
waves in a feeble effort to reach the pier. The crews
bad been occupied in pumping the whole morning, and
were now completely exhausted. By 12 o'clock the sea
rose to a tremendous height, and dashed with such ve-
hemence teyvards the harbour, that the waves beat com-
pletely over the Northern Lighthouse. Several of the
tug-steamers endeavoured to " put out," but were driven
back again by the violence of the tempest and the height
and fury of the waves. There was now a general cry
out fur the life-boat, which had not made its appearance
till very late, and which the good people of Sunderland
have been for some time taught to consider capable of
performing anything, since it has been furnished with
Messrs. Dennett and Carte's rockets. It was manned
with a daring and gallant crew, who, after a desperate
struggle, and encountering many difficulties, succeeded in
landing nine men (the %hole of the crew) from the
Helen. Many attempts were then made to reach
the Syria, which being a new vessel, was not
considered in much danger, and was deemed ca-
pable of neathering the gale, at least for some hours
longer. It was a melancholy sight to see the poor fel-
lows who composed her crew clinging to the ropes as each
wave swept over them in its fury. An occasional shout,
es the life-boat neared them, end was often driven away
by the surge, proclaimed to those upon the beach the
agonised feelings of the sufferers. One, more adventu-
rous than the rest, leaped overboard, but was never seen
to rise. All now seemed to be confusion on board ; for
the life-boat, having proved by several trials the inutility
of Mr. Carte's invention, the men now almost gave up
the attempt in despair, not, however, till they had fully
showed the most intense eagerness, and strained every
nerve to rescue their fellow-mariners from their perilous
situation. The other versel had by this time gone
to pieces ; and various parts of a schooner, which had been
discerned in the offing at an earlier hour, were washed
with it to the shore. In the schooner all hands had pe-
rished. After the life-boat had apparently matte its final
effort for the preservation of the Syria, she dipped into
one of the mountainous waves which were momentarily
overwhelming her, and when she righted not a soul was to
be seen aboard—the ill-fated crew having all keen washed
off. In a short time, however, the life-boat succeeding in
bringing three of the crew to land, the remaining four
having met a watery grave. Many of those on the beach
now voluntarily offered to man the boat again ; among the
rest, one of the gallant officers of the sbth, quartered here,
insisted upon another trial, proffering to be one of the
number himself ; but it was deemed useless to make the at-
tempt. The master of the Syria, Captain llinniken, was
among the number of the drowned.
One of the men belonging to a light-boat was washed
overboard by a wave, and lost, notwithstanding his com-
panions did their utmost to save him.
ii:S morning the shore was strewed with
remnants of: vtirceks. No account Las reached of the
Hendon ; and it almost amounts to certainty that the'
Durham Packet is lost with all hands. The storm has in
some degree, but far from entirely, abated. Rumours
are hourly its circulation of boats lost ; and during the
last two tides about forty vessels have been towed into the
harbour. The accounts from Shields and Newcastle are
most nppalling, and at Tyncmouth, it is said, the loss of
life far exceeds ours. The bodies of those washed off
the Syria have been all found ; and the vessel itself is in
a fair way of being saved from going to pieces. The
water in the river last tide was eleven feet higher than
usual. The wind has veered to the N. E., and the sea is
still rough with a heavy swell and a thick mist hangs
over it.

SATURDAY EVENING, SIX o'Ct.ocK.—The sea still runs
high, and it is considered that no steamer could live
among the breakers that lock up the harbour. A number
of vessclg arc " lying off" at anchor, end signals are up
t 9 prohibit them from attempting to make the river. The
Syria has been thrown up far upon the be.ch ; and the
whole line of shore above and below the piers is strewed
with coals. Many old seamen say we are not yet done
with the gale, for the wind continues very changeable.

THE LATE GALE, SHIPWRECKS, AND LOSS
OF LIFE ON THE SUSSEX COAST.
(From the Sussex Advertiser of to-day.)
The late tremendous g :lc has strewed our coast with
wrecks, involving, in one instance, we regret to say, the
loss of several lives. The violence of the wind, especially
on Friday, was extierne, the sea ran mountains high ;
and in tue absence of an efficient harbour of refuge, it is
ouiy wonderful that more disasters have not occurred.
However, the pre-eminent natural facilities which we have
always contended that Nee:haven possesses, for the forma-
tion there of a first-rate harbour for the preservation of
life and property, have been practically made manifest by
the fact (described below) that, during the greatest furs
of the storm, no less than three vessels were, by the aid of
courage and good seamanship, brought safely into the
river Ouse.
NVe subjoin accounts, from different parts of the coast,
of the storm and its effects :
NEWHAVEN, Nov. 13.—Teiterric Gaaa.—Thismorning
we were visited with a terrific gale of wind, the sea run-
ning mountains high, and the waves dashing over the
piers. About noun several vessels were seen off the far-
hour, three of which were making towards it. About one
o'clock, two of the vessels (the Active, Hinchings, and
the Brisk, Bell), came into the harbour in gallant style;
but the last, a brig, lurched too much to the eastward, and
it seamed nothing could prevent her getting at the back of
the east pier. Destruction to the unfortunate vessel and
her crew appeared inevitable ; and the spectators watched
the scene with trembling anxiety. But a cool head and a
steady hand were on board that ship, for when the poser
of the wind and waves would have hurried her on the
beach, a skilful manoeuvre broached her to windward in a
masterly manner, and brought her safely into harbour.
She proved to be the i\iichelgrove, Howard, of Chichester.
We are sorry to hear three vessels loaded with coals, are
on shore between this port and Brighton, and we fear will
ha total wrecks. No lives are lost. We understand the
crew of the vessel ashore at Portobello, owe their preser.
vation to the exertions of the preventive of that and the
Beatshide station, and the favour of an all-wise Providence.
WORTIIING.—On Saturday morning, about one a.m.
the crew of the Star, of London, came on shore at our
beech, in a long boat. The Star of 120 tons burthen,
bound for Malta, Corfu, and Zante, sailed from London
on Wednesday week, having on board a general cargo,
consisting chiefly of iron gas and water pipes, of which
there were 94 tons, consigned to Corfu, 35 tons of gun-
powder, belonging to Gosernmeet, consigned to Malta,
end a quantity of wine and porter. On the eight of Sa-
turday week she entered the Downs, where she lay at
anchor unji last Wednesday night, when she left in com-
Leahy with upwards of 100 sail, and proceeded on her voy-
ege, the wind blowing N.N. E. At nine p.m. on Friday,
sue was off the Owers, which is a floating beacon at the
western part of Sussex, where she struck and went down
almost directly, during a heavy gale from the W. S. \V.
Enough canvass could not be carried to keep her at sea,
the wind blowing so violently. The jolly boat was stove
in and knocked to pieces by the shipment of a heavy sea
after the vessel struck.
'lhe long boat was immediately got out, into which all
hands placed themselves—a poor little boy was in his
hammock asleep at the time of the wreck, and was taken
cut of his berth and placed in the boat naked as he was.
Ile was of course covered with something, but in his re-
moval his arm was somewhat injured. Using their best
judgment, and evoking their best courage, the crew sat
off in their little open boat, on a furious sea, and on a des-
perate undertaking, namely, that of attempting safely to
gain the shore without sail, or mast, or compass, steering
before the wind and tide. They did not perceive the land
for some time, neither did they know at last the place to
which they were directing their course to run in at, At
one o'clock sin Friday morning, as we have said, they ar-
rived hero safe and sound, excepting the bruises which
the lad bad received. The vessel and cargo were
insured.
EASTBOURNE, Nov. 14.—This place has been visited by
awful winds, and the :tides have run tremendously high,
washing over the parade and filling the cellars of some
houses. No material damage being done except to the
oldest lodging-house of this place celebrated by the name
of the "round house," where the late lamented Duke of
Kent spent some of his juvenile days. So far on shore
we have fared tolerably well, but it is my painful task to
inform yeu that two brigs have been wrecked—one to the
eastward and one to the westward of the town. The
former was coal laden, from Newcastle to Southampton,
and came ashore on Friday night, the crew took to the
rigging, and awaited the death which must have been their
fate, bad it not been for the humanity and daringintre-
pidity of one of our fishermen, who, amidst the raging of
the storm and the cheers of his comrades dashed through
the breakers at the peril of his life, and conveyed a rope
to the vessel, by means of which, I am happy to state, all
hands were safely landed. The name of the fisherman who
has the enviable satisfaction of having performed this act
of genuine nobility is George Hide. Every possible at-
tention was paid to the shipwrecked crew. I regret to state
that the other vessel to westward became a complete wreck.
Not ease was saved, so entirely was every chance of hu-
man aid cut off. The corpses of the Captain and two
men have been washed on shore, also a cow, but no traces
have yet beets discovered which may lead to the know-
ledge of what vessel she was.
It is feared much mischief may be calculated on. Many
sail arc now passing up Channel, among them a large ship
with loss of foremast.
Rya, Nov. 14.—This morning a dismasted brig or
barque, was observed passing through the bay to the east-
ward.
ROTTINGDEAN,— About six o'clock on Friday evening, 1
the schooner Sir Charles Keith, from Leith to Dartmouth,
laden with cools, came ashore to the westward of this
place. A party arrived from Brighton with Capt. Manby's
apparatus, with the assistance of which the officers and
men of the Preventive service, and the fishermen were
using the most untiring endeavours to rescue the crew
' who hung in the rigging, exposed to the fury of the wind,
' rain and sea, for no less than twelve hours, the efforts
of the people on shore during that time having been un.

Isuccessful, in consequence of the ship having struck at
low water, and therefore at a great distance from the
shore. At six on Saturday morning, by means of one
of Captain Menby's rockets, a rope was thrown across
the vessel, and all hands were enabled to get on shore.
The Rev. J. S. M. Anderson was most active in superin-
tending and directing Manby's apparatus, and by encou-
raging by words and deeds the men engaged in assisting
tho shipwrecked crew. Two boys were immediately taken
to the county Hospital—so much injured by cold, fright,
and the dashing of the waves over them for twelve hours,
that it is feared their minds will be effected.
Another vessel, a brig, went on shore at Portobello,
the crew, eight in number, were also happily saved.
A brig was seen on Friday night off Worthing, dis-
masted and drifting; and it is reported that another foun-
dered off Brighton.
LEwss.—We have experienced a succosidon of stormy
weather since our last ; at intervals heavy rains have
fallen, and the fresh:_.s thereby occasioned having been
met by the spring tides, the water in our river has been
much swollen, and sonic of the adjacent low lands par-
tially inundated.
