TIIE WEATHER IN NORTIIUMBERLAND.—About
10 days ago the weather turned quite cold on the North-
umberland coast, and threatened to break up. Visitors to
the coast hurried off to their homes in the country, and the
sea-bathing places had a somewhat forsaken appearance.
`Within the past three days, however, the weather has under-
gone a remarkable change, and on Tuesday and Wednesday
it was quite warm on the coast. A very serious loss of life
has occurred to a fleet of north country vessels, having
been caught off the Dutch coast and off the mouth of the
Elbe by a violent west gale about the time the weather
threatened to break up. A collier brig, named the Arm,
belonging to South Shields, was lost, with all hands, off
the Dutch coast, and it is now certain that another Shields
vessel, the Edgar, has perished with her.
TIIE EYNSHAM COMMLF:ION.—T.:e vicar of Eyn -

14th instant, at 11 o'clock a.m. The vicar, under the pro-
visions of the statute, has intimated to the commissioners
his determination that the proceedings shall be public.

PUGILISM

RUMOURED DEATH OF TOM SAYERS.
It was very generally reported in the metropolis this
afternoon that Tom Sayers had expired, and that death had
been caused by the mortification of the wound he received
on his leg in his recent encounter with Brettle. The fact
that Sayers had been confined to his bed at Newmarket
through the injury strengthened the report. Inquiry,
however, has been made at places where such intelligence
would certainly have been received by telegraph, but in
these quarters the report was totally disbelieved and un-
hesitatingly contradicted.

THE FIGHT BETWEEN YORK AND WARD.
This tournay came off this afternoon. After a contest,
which lasted two hours and 36 minutes, in which 60 rounds
wore fought, York was declared the victor.
