gian Government packet did not leave before 3 o'clock
this morning, and the English mail packet did not arrive

GALE ON THE NORTII-EAST COAST.--SHIELDS, Mon
day Night.—To-day has been the stormiest we have ex-
perienced this winter. A considerable quantity of snow
has fallen both on the Northumberland coast and in the
hill districts. During last night heavy squalls of wind
were experienced, with snow showers; and the North Sea
has an exceedingly rough and turbulent appearance
The wind is blowing east, and direct on to the land.

No less than 24 deeply laden screw colliers left the
Tyne and We on Saturday. Twenty sail of laden
coal brigs also sailed from the Tyne
on Saturday morn-
ing for Landon. About four sail of the latter have since
returned, and just be.ore dark this evening a collier brig,
two schooners, and a screw collier made a gallant dash
for the bar, and reached the Tyne. From the appearance
of the weather at poet time
to-night there is every rea-
son to fear that some disastrous accounts will be given of
shipping off the coast.
THE WEATHER.--Througitout Yorkshire and the
northern counties winterly weather prevails. Snow
, began to fall on Sunday night, with a cold north-
easterly wind, and fell at intervals on Monday, Monday
night, and yesterday. There was also sleet and rain in
some parts,

LORD UNELMSFOED.—It will be seen that Sir F.
Thesiger, on reaching the very 'summit of his profession
as Lord High Chancellor of England, has distinguished
Chelmsford by taking his title from that town. Wehave
little di,uht the reason of this is, that it was here Sir
Frederic, early in his professional life, first&rout' and had in

A PlRATE.—Captain Jennings, cif the Cantest, men-
tions the following suspicious circumstances :—" When,
bound out to Sydney in April last, in lat. 22 deg. N.,
long. 24 deg 22 min. W., passed a British brig, with a
Portuguese schooner in tow. The brig showed her ensign
and asked the longitude, but would not answer any
questions. There appeared some 40 or 50 men on board.
The fore-and-after had little canvass set, keeping up
easily with the brig, having but little strain on the new
rope, though

The brig appeared to be about 200 or 250 tons, a Cowes
or Shoreham built looking vessel."
WRECK OF A FRENCH VESSEL ON THE GOODWIN
SANDS.—On Sunday evening, during a heavy gale from
the east, and amidst snow and 'sleet, a small French
vessel, bound from Dunkirk to London,
struck upon the
sands and went down. The captain and crew were just
able to reach the punt, and in this small and frail boat
drifted off and were enabled to reach Dover, where they
were landed near midnight, in a state of great exhaustion.

whole
crew were received at the Sailors' Home, In this
admirable institution they were soon restored to a state
of comparative comfort. Their drenched and frozen
garments were removed, they were covered with warm
flannel dresses, placed in warm beds, and well fed. It is

imagine the grateful feelings of
these poor men on find-
