THE LATE VIOLENT GALES-8111P-
WRECKS IN THE BALTIC.

The terrible gale which visited the Northern part of the
United Kingdom on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
last, appears to have swept with equal fury the. whole of
the coast of the north of Europe, and the havoc amongst
the shipping—especially in the Baltic, where the storm
seems to have Spent its full force—has been truly awful.
As yet no full details have been received, but the telegrams
which came to hand yesterday from Lloyd's agents at Riga,
Helsingborg, Skioe, Memel, Norden, and neighbouring
ports, furnished a most fearful list of disasters, there being
upwards of 60 wrecks posted in the books during the day.
The loss of life and properly has been very great, and it is
feared that the full P...dent of the mischief is yet to be
learnt.

Among the 1110'.8 serious losses is that of the Arctic, iron
screw steamsb;p, Captain Bowes, commander, which was
on her usual. passage from Hull and Grimsby to St. Peters-
turg. B-,• the telegraph despatch, dated Skioe, Saturday
morning, October 6, it appears that the ill-fated steamer
was Wrecked on the 4th inst. near Lewoig, on the coast
of Jutland, and that four of the passengers and two of the
crew were drowned. The Arctic was a new ship, having
only been last year built, and was 674 tons. She was a
vc.aut Vu I.lle biation, ana nad a valuable gene-
ral cargo. It was understood that she was insured
altogether for £50,000, more than half of which was effected
at Lloyd's. The fatal wrecks of several English ships with
all on board are reported. They were mostly from the Tyne
and northern ports. The brig Marsden, Mr. Eskdaile
master, of Shields, was earried high on the beach at Niddent
near Memel; also a Pomeranian schooner and two ships
stranded near Libau. The telegram states that the names
of the vessels are not known, but that all hands were lost.
Near Borkum two ships were wrecked, the Tiberius, Captain
Harris, and the Carlisle, belonging to Shields, both crews
perishing. The brig Hendon, of Sunderland, was lost at
Geestenwade, and the master, Mr. Longstaff, mate, and four
men were drowsed. In the Cattegat a schooner was seen
to founder by..the Mercurius, which arrived at Elsineur on
the sth; notrng was seen of the crew, and it was believed
that they had perished.

The telegram from Thisted, dated yesterday morning,
states that during the hurricane of the 4th, sth, and 6th,
no fewer than 13 ships were cast ashore. They are thus
enumerated—Richard, Schultz master, of Dantzic ; Hertha,
of Coslin ; Palme, of Stettin; Helene, of Soderhamn ;
Meickena, of Groningen ; Eugene and Pauline, of Nantes ;
Travail, of St. Maio; Harmonie, of Frederikstadt ; Louise,
of Libau; Mina and Carl, of Leer ; and Espiegle, of Jacquey.
At Skioe, in addition to the Arctic steamer, seven vessels,
laden with timber and grain, were lost. They were the
Barend, of Harlingen; Emanuel, of Friesland; Maria, of
Stockholm; Margaretha, of Burgtade ; Kronsprins Frede-
rick, of Drobak ; Albrecht Thaer, of Doram. A despatch
from Riga mentions several vessels to have been stranded
on the Livonian coast during the gale, and that they had
since become wrecks. The Cyrus, bound to Dundee from
Riga, was stranded on the Oesel. The Ludovico, from
Memel to Lynn, and the Francisco, from the Tyne to
Memel, were wrecked at Helgared, near Helingborg.
The Agnes, from London to Stettin, was lost at Tore-
kow. The brig Jamesons, Mr. Robertson, from New-
castle, is reported to be lost near Norden. The brig St.
Lawrence was stranded on Bornholm. The Wider, from
Sunderland, was cast ashore near Proebbernan, and the
Russian ship Archangel Michael, from St. Petersburg, was
stranded and lost near Nerve. From Elsinore, a list of
waterlogged and leaky ships has been forwarded by tele-
graph ; among them are the Harmonic, from Sundswall, for
Douglas; the Henriette, Kleist, for Hull; the Alchymist,
Andrews, from Newcastle, for Cronstadt ; and the Minstrel
Boy, for Littlehampton. The Alnwick packet was lost on
the Moasdroogden.

It is needless to add that considerable anxiety is felt for
several vessels and two steamers bound to England that
were known to be in the Baltic at the time of the gale.
