POOLE, Jan. 8.

We hare had a very stormy night. tilt daylikht
e,
the Prussian brig Antores was seen on re at the
Poole Sand, with a signal of distress (I g. The
Manley Wood lifeboat, of the National ifeboat
Institution, was thereupon at once launclied, and
proceeded to the vessel, over which the sea warbreak-
ing. On arriving alongside the crew of the brig
would not leave her, but requested the boat4d re-
main by them. After taking the master of the ves-
sel to a steamtug the lifeboat returned to the ship,
and remained by her until he returned from Poole.
If the weather keeps fine, the vessel will be light-
ened, and will probably come off—but if the gale
continues she may break up, and the crew be glad
of the services of the Manley Wood lifeboat again.
PORTLAND, Jan. 9.

The very heavy south-east gale of Saturday last
did more damage to the staging connected with the
breakwater than was at first anticipated. A portion
of the temporary staging at the outer extremity of
the breakwater on which the engine and stone
trucks travel was completely demolished, the im-
mense blocks of timber forming the " uprights"
being in many instances severed into shreds and
washed seawards. One-third also of the staging
across what is intended to ibe the passage between
the two breakwaters was entirely washed away, thus
laying open a passage into the roads. A large por-
tion of the foot track, or gangway, was displaced,
rendering it unsafe to traverse the hitherto substan-
tial walk to the extreme end of the breakwater. Mr.
Coode, the engineer in chief of the breakwater, has
been busily employed in superintending the collec-
tion of the- numerous piles, or blocks of timber,
floating in the harbour with evident success. We
understand that the operations have been in pro-
gress for several months past for the removal of
the staging so much affected by the recent gale, in
consequence, of -the advanced state of the break-
water, and is considered unnecessary to restore any
portion of the parts demolished, as large quantities
of the material have for some time past been con-
veyed away as scaffolding, &c., at other Govern-
ment works. The permanent works and masonry of
the breakwater appear not to have suffered in the
least from the unprecedented gale, and all the ships
in the .itarbour weathered the storm safely under
its shelter.

CORNWALL, Jan. 8.

It is ascertained that 11 persons were drowned
and 13 vessels totally wrecked on the Cornish coast
during Saturday's storm. There is intelligence
from the Lizard district of the loss of the
schooner Margaret, Capt. Bowden, Df Teignmouth.
Three of her crew were washed overboard just be-
fore the vessel went down, and the captain sank
while swimming towards the shore. No help could
be rendered the poor fellow, and he died in the pre-
sence of at least 2,000 persons, and within a few
yards of a crowd of anxious men endeavouring to
get a rope within the captain's reach. The schooner
Cherub, of Swansea, and another vessel, name un-
known, went down about the same time as the Mar-
garet ; but the crews were saved—one in their own
boat, the other being rescued by a steamer. At
Land's End a schooner came into collision with a
brig ; the former was at once deserted by the crew
who got on board the brig, and the much disabled
schooner drifted out to sea. At Mevagissey many
valuable fishing nets and some strong fish cellars
were washed away. A large extent of land is under
water in the St. Austell district, and also in the
neighbourhood of Helston, the valley below which
town is completely inundated.

SHIELDS, Jan. 8.
The snow has about disappeared from this part of
England, and this afternoon there were copious
showers of rain. The ice broke loose on the upper
reaches of the Tyne last night, and this morning
Shields Harbour was full of it. Navigation between
the two seaport towns was stopped several hours,
but no injury was done to shipping. In the western
part of the county of Northumberland the snow lay
very deep during the latter part of last week, and
for three days several large villages on the Cheevy
Chase turnpike, on the edge of the:Carter Fell,were
cut off from all communication with the outer
world. The weather was very fearful on the range
of hills known as the backbone of England, and on
Saturday night there was a considerable smash up
on the South Durham and Lancashire Railway on
Stainmoor. A goods train got drifted up by the
snow, but the engineman, after attempting to take
away his waggons in sections, and failing to do so,
managed to get away with his engine. The stand-
ing waggons brought up two trains which fol-
lowed ; but a fourth which followed ran into the
standing trains, and it is said drove some of the
waggons over the battery side. No one was hurt,
but a good deal of damage was done.

SUNDERLAND, Jan. 9.

The damage done to shipping on the Wear yester-
day morning by the breaking up of the ice in the
Upper Reaches is estimated at from £15,000 to
£16,000. One vessel is sunk, but it is hoped she will
be raised without any serious damage; but over 30
vessels have been more or less in peril. The follow-
ing is a list of some of them:—The Percy, of Lon-
don, lost anchor and chain ; the Dart and the Aist,
of Sunderland ; the Goliah, dredger; the Cochrane,
the Seaton, the Sarah Downs, of Colchester; the
Rebecca and Jane, lost rigging and bowsprit ; the
Test, holed by another vessel and hauled aground in
a sinking state ; the Royal Consort, of Banff ; the
Earl of Durham, the Countess of Durham, the Eco-
nomy, of Harwich, stern damaged, masts broken,
deck swept; the Lambton, steamtug; the Tom Bow-
line, steamtug; the Vivid, of Sunderland, bow stove;
the Ann Brass, of Sunderland, stern carried away ;
the Vulcan, of Aberdeen, loss of topgallant mast,
rail, and stanchions ; the Eclipse, of Shoreham, da-
mage to stern rail and stanchions ; the Admiral, of
Jersey; a new vessel of Messrs. Austin and Co.'s ;
the Albert Locke ; the Parthian ; the William and
John, loss of foretopmast; the Arun, of Arundel ;
the South Sand, stern stove; the Sarah; the Reho-
both, stanchions carried away; the brig Thornley,
loss of bulwarks, cabin, and companion driven in ;

KINGSGATE, KENT, Jan. 8.
Captain Isaacke reports that a vessel went ashore
on Forene ss Rorke between this place and Margtte,
on the sth inst., with a signal of distress flying. The
King gate, lifeboat, belonging to the National Life-
boat Institution, at once went out to her, but did
not succeod in reaching the ship on account of the
heavy secs and the strong gale. The night was
very dark, with a strong wind and drifting snow.
Fortunately, the master and crew of the vessel,
which was the Italian brig Olga, were enabled to
walk ashore the next morning. The Margate life-
boat the Friend of All Nations also went out to this
vessel.

WALMER, KENT, Jan. 8.
During a gale from the southward, with snow
and hail, on the night of the sth inst. (states Capt.
Dicey), the Gul3/4,Stream Light-vessel was observed
to fire guns and throw up rockets in a north-easterly
direction, indicating a vessel on the Goodwin Sands.
TheWalwer lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat In-
stitution, was promptly launched, and proceeded
towards the sands, and on inquiring at the lightship
was informed that a flashing light had been seen in
the neighbourhood on the sands, but that. it had
disappeared. The lifeboat was, however, not able
to find any distressed vessel, and she, therefore, ,
returned to her station.

411tENTNOR, Jan. 8.
The, schooner Johanna, boun from HambUrg for
the West Indies, was driven ashore on 'the back of
the Isle of Wight, near the Niton Lighthouse, about
six o'clock on Tuesday morning. She is a total
wreck, and her valuable cargo of general merchan-
dise has been completely washed out. Her captain,
