SHIPPING CASUALTIES.

On Sunday the crew of the schooner Nymph, of Abe-
rystwith, were landed at Yarmouth. Their vessel, which
was bound from Runcorn to Harlingen, was caught in the
late gales when about forty miles off Yarmouth, and
sprung a leak. The water gained upon her rapidly, and
scarcely had the crew left in their boat when she went
down. They were subsequently picked up by a smack.
A Yarmouth lugger, laden with herrings, foundered on
Sunday about ten miles off that port, the crew being saved
by the life lugger Stonewall Jackson.
On Monday afternoon, during a strong north-westerly
gale, the schooner Charles Whiteway, Stranger, Master,
of Runcorn, which had brought up in Fraserburgh Bay
in the morning, was observed to be dragging her anchors,
and in great danger of drifting on Cairnbalg Point. Th
lifeboat Havelock, belonging to the National Lifeboa
Institution, was immediately launched and proceeded to
the distressed vessel, and with the assistance of her crew
the anchors were shipped and sails were set upon the
schooner, which happily succeeded in clearing the Beacon.
Without this timely aid, the vessel would have become a
total wreck. The lifeboat could not return to her station,
on account of the strength of the gale, but had to make
for Peterhead.
A severe storm from the eastward prevailed in the
North on Sunday. A vessel, having on board the tele-
graph cable to be laid down between Orkney and Shet-
land, was wrecked at Deerness, Orkney. The cable is
expected to be saved, though the much-injured crew and
Mr. Holmes, of London, narrowly escaped. The steamer
accompanying the vessel to lay down the cable was
nearly driven ashore.
A Lancashire paper says :—" Another storm of a very
severe character has swept over Liverpool and, as far as
can at present be ascertained, has extended far down the
Channel, doing immense damage to shipping. About
midnight on Sunday the wind sprung up very quickly
from the S.S.W., and continued to blow a whole gale up
to an early hour on Monday morning, when it gradually
abated, but the weather up to Monday evening con-
tinued very threatening and boisterous. The sea
outside the port is described as being very high, and
immense quantities of wreckage, consisting of deck lum-
ber, cabin furniture, spars, &c., have been passed through
by vessels arriving in the Mersey. A despatch which
has reached Liverpool from Holyhead states that the
steamer Duchess of Sutherland, which had reached that
place, had passed half of a ship's hull about twenty-
two miles south-east of the South Stack Lighthouse.
The :screw steamer Brazillian, Captain Green, bound
from the Morsey to Bombay, via, the Suez Canal, has also
put into Holyhead, with one man killed and five others
badly injured, and the boats stove in, the vessel having
shipped a tremendous sea off the Smalls. The Semper
Fidelis, Captain Please, is likewise in Holyhead for re-
pairs, having lost her sails and sustained other damage
during the gale.
Intelligence has been received in Liverpool from New
York to the effect that the barque Desiah, from Phil-
adelphia for Antwerp, had been abandoned at sea in a
sinking condition, and that the crew had been rescued by
the Gitana, and had reached New York.

THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP OF INDIA,—It is
believed in Calcutta that on the departure of Sir Richard
Couch, the Chief Justice, to Europe on leave of absence,
Mr. Justice Norman will officiate as chief. • Mr. J. Pitt
Xennedy is spoken of as likely to officiate as a puisne
judge.. • •

THE PRINCE OF WALES AND HIGHLAND PRO-
PERTY. —We understand that the reported negotia-
tions between the Prince of Wales and Mr. `Pennant
regarding the purchase of Achnashellach, on the Dingwall
and Skye Railway, Ross-shire, as a residence for his Royal
Highness, have no foundation. It is understood that the
Prince desires no other *Highland. residence than that of
Abergeldie, which he has now had for several years.—
Scotsman.
' THE HEIR OF THE WINDHAM ESTATES.—Thero
appear to have been great rejoicings at Hanworth last
week in celebrating the anniversary of Master Windham
taking possession of his estates. Mrs. Windham-Walker
distributed a pound of tea and sugar to each villager
after which the children sang a hymn, composed
for the occasion, and then the rural sports began.
At four o'clock tea was served to the children and villa-
gers, and in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Walker entertained
a few friends at dinner, when it was announced that Mrs.
Windham-Walker's Bible class and the distribution of
soup would take place during the winter. The young
squire and his mother were repeatedly cheered throughout
the day) and dancing to the Cromer band was kept up in
the servants' hall until a late hour.
