THE STORM.

The gale which blew on the north and east coasts on
Tuesday and Wednesday will long be remembered
as the most severe and destructive to shipping and
life with which they have been visited for several
years. Already tho list of shipping casualties is very heavy,
but it is stated that it, represents only one-half the full
extent of the disasters. All accounts testify that the wind
frequently attained the full force of a hurricane, and that
the showers of snow and sleet were so thick, and
descended with such force, that the sailors could
not face them. Several vessels are known to
have capsized, and it is no exaggeration to state that
hundreds were blown from their moorings. The greatest
damage was done on the east coast, whence information is
continually being furnished of fresh disasters. Eight
fishing-smacks, with about forty men and boys, belonging
to Yarmouth, are believed to have been lost in the North
Sea, as nothing has been heard or scon of them. Those

smacks which were enabled to make the port in safety
were greatly damaged, and the information furnished by
the masters gives good reason for the worst fears. On the
coasts the lifeboats of the Royal National Lifeboat Insti-
tution were instrumental in saving a large number of lives.
The following disasters are in addition to those already
published. At Yarmouth several vessels which were in a
sinking state were towed into the harbour, and o Arrs
which had lost their anchors and chains were supplied
with fresh ones. The vessel which drove on to the rocks
near Scarborough has been ascertained to be the Ellen, of
Middlesbrough. She is a total wreck, but the crew were fortu-
nately saved by the rocket apparatus. Three vessels sank at
their anchors in Fishguard Roads. One was the schooner Two
Sisters, of Abcrystwith, bound to Cardiff ; another, the
smack David, of Cardigan, bound from Carnarvon to Mil-
ford. The name of the third could not be ascertained.
The crews were all rescued. The smack Hecla, of Cullen,
and bound from Hopeman to Fraserburgh, went ashore
near the latter place and was totally wrecked. The
crew were saved. The schooner Victory is stranded
near Larne; she belonged to Carnarvon, and was bound to
Peterhead. The Charlotte, bound from Riga to Leith,
and the Appollonia, from Pitea to London, are both
reported stranded, one at Oeland, and the other at Ber-
guara. The schooner Active has been totally wrecked at
Lenwig. Sho belonged to Colchester ; and a timber-
laden brig, the Mary, of South Shields, has been
passed dismasted and abandoned. The schooner Juno has
also been passed abandoned. The Napoleon, belonging to
Carnarvon, came in collision with a Sunderland barqua
during the gale. The former vessel was dismasted, and
received such severe damage that the crew had to abandon
her. She has since been picked up and towed into
Bridlington.

A branch of the National Education League—
the organisation which has grown out of the Birmingham
movement—has been formed in Manchester ; and at a meet-
ing held at the Town Hall, on Thursday, General and Exe-
cutive Committees were appointed, for the purpose of pro-
moting the work of the Association.
All danger of a strike in the South Staffordshire
tron trade has, the Manchester Guardian hopes, passed away.
The employers have agreed to give an advance of 6d. per
ton on puddling, or one half the increase originally demanded
by the men. In the other branches of the trade the rate of
wages will remain as at present.

The tenantry of the Count de Jarnac, who received
a threatening letter some few days ago, have opened a sub-
scription among themselves for a reward fund to further the
discovery of the writer, and £125 has been collected. Two
more cases of threatening letter writing in Tipperary are
reported in the local paper, but the names are not given of
the gentlemen who received them.
The New York Herald, of October 16, says:—
"There remains no doubt that M. Friguet, for the firm of
Rothschilds, has been conducting negotiations with the
American Government for a loan by the great banking firm
of all the money tho Government may need at four per cent.
A private letter from 31. Friguot intimates that he has boon
carrying on the negotiation with President Grant in person,
and be believes that the project will be carried out."
At the annual soirée on Thursday of the Garforth
Working Men's Club and Institute (which the report read
on the occasion showed to be in a very flourishing condi-
tion) Messrs. Denison and Fielden, the members for the
Eastern Division of the West riding, were present, and
delivered speeches. Mr. Denison pointed out the advan-
tages to be derived by working men from mechanics' insti-
tutes, and 31r. Fiolden addressed himself to the education
question generally.

Father Hyacinthe arrived at New York on the
18th of October. Tho Pereire, in which ho sailed, rade so
rapid a voyage that those who had been on the look out
for him were taken by surprise. As soon as the news of
his arrival had spread through the city his hotel was
besieged with visitors. Father Hyacinthe states that
he has come to America to see and study the
country ; he may or may not go to the (Ecumenical Council,
and bas no l rogramme laid out for the future. He is quite
frank about his intentions and his present situation. The
pastors of the Evangelical churches of Boston aro consider-
ing the propriety of giving the Father a public reception.
rho Bishop of Rochester held a visitation of his
clergy on Friday at Stratford. In his charge ho announced
that he was about to hold a series of conferences of clergy and
laity in the large towns of his diocese, in order that matters
of importance to the Church might be thoroughly con-
sidered. It was also his intention to cstablish a "Bishop
of IlocLester's Fund," with a view to the aid of those
parishes which had been transferred to his diocese from the
see of London. Re strongly recommended the adoption of
the offertory, more frequent services, and particularly more
frequent celebration of the Holy Communion. Ro ex-
pressed his opinion that the Church was in no danger from
external attacks if Churchmen remained true to their own
neinoipleg.
