DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—It has been blocs ing a perfect
hurricane for the last 48 hours, the wind being nearly
due east and the weather wet and hazy. The storm
appears to have been general. The Cork Examiner
of yesterday says :
" During last night and this morning a violent gale
has blown. The sea ran so high in Queenstown as in
many places to cover the quay, and to render it imprac-
ticable for the half-past nine steamer, which came up
from Aghada this morning, to get a landing there.
Se►eral of the vessels in the harbour dragged their
anchors, and were driven towards Queenstown, but we
have not heard of any vessel being sent ashore, with the
exception of one or two pleasure yachts, or any serious
damage having been done. A great portion of the quay
at Monkstown was swept away by the sea, and in the
reach between Passage and Carrigaloe the fury of the
gale was tremendous. The wind has since considerably
abated in violence."

From the north the intelligence is of a similar
nature :

Since Friday (says the Newry Telegraph) we have
had very severe gales from the north-east, which must
have been severe on the shipping in the Channel. The
Sea Nymph steamer, from Liverpool, due at Warrenpoint
on Saturday, did not arrive until Sunday morning, having
delayed her departure from Liverpool. One of the
Dundalk boats, which did venture out, was, we are told,
partly dismantled; she, however, made her passage
good. The Sea Nymph sailed again from Warrenpoint
Dock, with passengers, cattle, and goods, on Sunday at
midnight. Her passage must have been a rough one,
as during the whole night and all yesterday it blew hard
from the same quarter, accompanied by heavy and almost
unremitting rain. The cold is intense, and fires have
been, consequently, had recourse to much earlier than
usual. The worst of it is that the poor man's harvest,'
especially on the mountain sides, has not yet been ga-
thered in."

This morning the wind veered to south-west, but
there is little or no abatement of the gale, which is
blowing very fresh, accompanied with heavy showers
of rain.

The Kingstown shipping note of the Freeman's
Journal thus reports :
"September 29.—This morning, at a very early hour,
the wind veered round to the south-west, and commenced
blowing fiercely, the bay presenting one sheet of foam,
accompanied by a mad rolling sea, the vessels to wind-
ward making for the harbour; those less fortunate made
for Ilowth, where I hope they arrived in safety. The
railway steamer Scotia left at the usual hour, nine, A.K.,
and, to my surprise, had a number of passengers. As
she rounded the east pier she plunged madly into the
heavy sea,
and was apparently ingulfed, still onwards
she steadily went in the teeth of the gale, and in a
very short time was hull down. The Dublin Company's
mail steamer arrived in harbour when the gale was at its
height, and, from her appearance, she experienced its
full cfLcta ; however, she made a capital run. The
steamer Eblana left at 6.15 P at. for Liverpool. The gale
at this period was evidently on the increase, the mercury
standing at this time at 29 5,, the inclination still down-
wards, the bay appearing in the most disturbed state,
with a rolling and lumpy sea. The brig Etiguick Cana-
master, from Whitehaven,
bwoldliob9r Ctaornds4thlilwitahwiarYon ore, was standing in for
harbour this moraii g about 11 o'clock; she struck the
barque Kingston, lying at anchor rear the harbour's
mouth, cam log away her bowsprit, jib•boom, foremast,
fore and maintopmast. She was towed into harbour by
the steam-tug Ellen Fawcett, and now lies alongside the
Wolf, cast pier. The barque proceeded to Dublin.
"Ralf-past 10—The pier presents a most desolate Op-

pearance fcom the severity of the gale. The lamps aro
all extinguished. Its elpect is most dreary.
" Halt-past 11—Railway steamer Scotia just arrived,
crowded with passengers."
