THE LATE GALE.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The storm has somewhat sub-
sided ; weather thick, wind westward, with occasional
heavy falls of rain.
Yesterday Mr. Ditchem, in the Diligent, Trinity
tender, made an effectual landing on the Eddystone
rocks, and supplied the lighthouse with plank, fasten-
ings, &c., to form a temporary door in substitution of the
one damaged by the storm of the 19th inst.
The barque Bilton, of Newcastle, reported yesterday
from Montreal, with upwards of 4,300 barrels of flour,
first experienced the gale from the southward, in lat.
50 N., and lon. 11 W., on Thursday, the 18th, com-
mencing at tea o'clock at night, when the ship was put
under close-reefed maintopsail. At two o'clock on the
morning of the 19th it lulled, but at three, with the wind
from the westward, the storm returned with double fury,
laying the ship's main-hatchway in the water. The lee
bulwarks and stanchions were strained, deck ring-bolts
drawn, water-casks and spare spirs adrift, and the
waves pouring down the half deck hatchway. Some of
the crew were washed off the ship and washed back
again. It was so dark, and the sea ran so high, that it
could not be distinguished from the sky. All appeared
a mass of water. The wind brought the ship's head up
to the sea, which broke right over the jibboom end. One
heavy sea broke right abroad, swept away the guys, and
tore the boats to pieces. The lee bulwarks, from fore-
castle to taffrail, gave way, the barque went on her
broadside, and all hope of safety for the ship or crew was
given up by most on board. As a last resource her
mizen and main masts were cut away, she was put before
the wind and providentially righted.
At daylight on Friday there were 10 feet water in the
hold, and this shortly after increased to 15 feet, being
within three feet of the upper deck. In addition to the
terrors of the sea outside the vessel, their fears were in-
creased by the surging from side to side of the casks of
flour in her hold. In this disabled state, with their sails
blown to ribands from the yard, they eventually reached
Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. Her cargo is almost
all spoiled, and will of course be immediately landed.

a paragraph which appeared in The Sun a few days
EXPEDITION OF GENERAL FLORES.—Referring to
since, as to the seizures of the ships Glenelg, Monarch,
and Neptune, we understand the Lords of the Treasury
have directed the legal condemnation of the vessels to
be proceeded with, and that Mr. Forsyth has received
the orders of the Board of Customs to bring the Glenelg
from Gravesend to London as soon as the state of the
,tide will admit.
COBS BARE--A vessel, from Tangier, has brought
an entire cargo, consisting of 123 tons weight of cork
bark, or the bark of the cork tree. This article is
-usually imported in large quantities from Spain, and
other of the Southern States of Europe; but is, we
think, unusual from the empire of Morocco, in which
the port mentioned is situated, and therefore may be
particularly noticed.
A letter from Rouen says:--``
Since August, 1,
forty-six vessels have entered this port, laden with corn,
from Brittany, and thirty-one from London with si-
milar cargoes. On an average, each had on board one
hundred thousand kilogrammes. Advices have been
:received from London of twenty other vessels with corn
awing left for the Seine."
