The advance in the Bank rate of interest on Thursday
to 8 per cent. caused some depression in the London
Market for American Securities, which was for a short
time somewhat increased by the extraordinary article in
the Times, but the fallacies, or rather omissions, in the
statement put forward were so glaring that the effect was
little more than momentary, and to-clay, on improved
quotations for Stock and decline in gold from New York,
the market rallied and closes firm.

PRICE 4d.,
STAMPED rd.;

The Weather.

Another fall of snow took place in London yes-
terday morning, between 5 and 7 o'clock. In the
absence of wind it was deposited uniformly to the
depth of about two inches. Early in the morning
frost prevailed, but in the forenoon the temperature
rose above the freezing point, and the streets were
again filled with sleet, which rendered them almost
as impassable as they had been on the previous day.
Great efforts were made to reconnect the telegraph
wires, but much remains to be done before commu-
nication can be re-established. The Royal Humane
Society have given orders for the immediate erection
in the Parks of marquees and tents, with hot water
baths, to be used as temporary hospitals in ease per-
sons should venture upon the ice and become im-
mersed. The barometer last night stood•at 30 deg.,
and the thermometer at 35 deg. At the last meet-
ing of the Clerkenwell Vestry one of the members
called attention to the state of the streets of London,
more especially the roads, which, he said, no one
could cross without going ankle deep in mud. He
characterised the condition of the city of London as
especially disgraceful to the corporation, and, with
a view to setting au example to the city, he moved
that the surveyor be instructed to employ men
whenever there was a snowstorm to clear crossings
to the streets, and to sweep the pavements of chapels,
churches, and public institutions. This was carried
unanimously, and a resolution empowering the
clerk to call the county magistrates' attention to
the desirability of having the pavements in front of
the Sessions'-house and the prisons cleared after
snowstorms.

WINDSOR, Friday.

To-day efforts were being made upon the portion
of the Great Western Railway between Paddington
and Slough to restore the telegraphic communica-
tion which had been destroyed by the violence of
the snowstorm of yesterday, Mr. Spagnoletti, the
telegraphic superintendent of the line, having a
large staff engaged in this operation, and upon a
small part of the line near town the necessary block
signals can be given. Upon the London and South-
Western main line there is telegraphic communica-
tion •as far as Woking, but between Basingstoke
and Exeter the system is reported to be more or
less destroyed. On the Richmond and Windsor
branch, Mr. Preece, the company's telegraphic
officer, had introduced the block system as a pro-
tection to the traffic, but owing to the storm having
partially destroyed communication, the trains were
compelled to run without the assistance of electric
signalling. As far as Putney the wires and posts
had been restored to their former condition, and
this afternoon part of the telegraphic staff had
reached the Barnes Station, where they were busily
engaged in repairing the system. It seems that the
telegraph wires upon the loop line from Barnes to
Hounslow were also damaged, while the Great Wes-
tern Junction line between Southall and Brentford
also had its telegraph injured. During the morn-
ing men have been employed in removing the snow,
which had collected in great quantities, from the
top of the Round Tower and other parts of Windsor
Castle.

PORTLAND, Friday Afternoon.

The gale on the coast has now subsided, and it is
expected that at spring tide many of the vessels now
on shore will be got off. Already several have been
rescued from their perilous positions without having
sustained much damage. The Bessie Simmons, of
Dartmouth, 30 tons register, sloop-rigged, laden
with hoops, from Southampton to Par, a vessel
which, among others, we alluded to yesterday as
having been driven on the mud, was taken into
Weymouth harbour this morning. During the gale
on Thursday morning she was riding in the road-
stead with two anchors down, when she snapped
one of the cables. About half an hour afterwards
she parted from the other. The captain, Joseph
Hicks, immediately set the foresail to drive her clear
of the other vessels, and set her on the beach, which
she reached about 9 a.m. He and the crew remained
on board until 6 p.m., the vessel at this time being
firmly beached, with only two feet:of water round
her. At 7 o'clock this morning he proceeded to go
on board again, when he found that the smack had
floated from the beach to the breakwater, and
that she was in charge of half a dozen men, who
subsequently delivered her to the Receiver of -Wrecks
atWeymouth as a derelict. The captain in his de-
positions stated that he did not leave her with the
intention of abandoning her, she being aground
within Portland harbour, and in perfect safety, and
that he went ashore simply to obtain rest, having
been completely exhausted by the weather, intend-
ing to be aboard as soon as the vessel floated in the
I morning. The Minerva, from Poole, laden with
pipeclay, which yesterday was on shore in the roads,
having slipped from her anchors and being disabled
in her gear, during the night drifted from the road-
stead into Weymouth Bay, where she now remains.
She will have to be lightened before she can be got
off. The Alexander, laden with stones, went ashore
during the gale ou Thursday morning, and fears are
entertained as to her being got off, in consequence
of the peculiar nature of her cargo. Although the
gale was severely felt at Weymouth, no injury to
life has resulted. A stack of chimneys near the
Cutler Hotel was blown to the ground, and the roof
of a house on the Weymouth side fell in and nearly
buried an old woman in her bed. Fortunately she
did not sustain any serious injury, and was more
frightened than hurt. The Great Western train due
at Weymouth at ten o'clock on Thursday morning
did not arrive till two this morning, in consequence
of the line having been blocked up by telegraph
posts and wires ; in fact, this was the only train
which came in to Weymouth on this line.
TORQUAY, Friday Afternoon.
Among the vessels wrecked are—the brig Hano-
ver, laden with oil of vitriol and paint, from Rouen.
She was washed against the south end of the Broad-
sands, and was totally wrecked. The captain was
drowned in his cabin, but the rest of the crew,
after hard struggles, escaped with their lives by
swimming to the shore. The Drian, a French brig,
from Jersey, and bound for Cardiff, in ballast, was
wrecked outside the Brixham
pier ; but, happily,
the crew were saved. The Emilie and Charles, a
French brigantine, laden with coals, was seen sink-
ing on Thursday evening ; but the crew were res-
cued. The Lady of the Lake, a Brixham smack,
bound to Guernsey with 30 head of eattle
, was in the
roads, and driven against the pier early on Thursday
morning. She was totally wrecked. Both crew and
cattle were after gallant exertions saved. The ves-
selin the harbour. The Wild Rose, of
went down
Whitby, a bark laden with wheat from Odessa, and
bound for Dublin, put in here from Falmouth The
vessel was entirely wrecked ; but the crew, number-
ing seven, were saved. The Princess Beatrice, an-
other bark, laden with wheat from Odessa, and also
bound for Dublin, sknk, all the crew, however,
escaping. The Courier, a Prussian brigantine, from
Rio Janeiro, and waiting in Torbay for orders, was
completely lost, and two of her crew were drowned.
The James, a fine schooner, laden with more than
100 tons of flour, and bound from Ilavre de Grace
for Liverpool, put into the bay on Sunday last wea-
ther .bound, and was stranded on the Goodrington
Sands. The cargo was materially damaged and the
vessel knocked to pieces. The Alona, laden with
currants, from Madras, was driven ashore and de-
stroyed ; the crew was saved. The Amanda, a Hull
brigantine, laden with a miscellaneous cargo, was
seen to sink ; out of a crew of eight only the cap-
tain and two of his men escaped. The Mary Ann,
a London brig, in ballast, and bound from South-
ampton for Newport, was totally wrecked, and seve-
ral of the crew were lost. The Jessie, 120 tons, of
Exeter, owner 'Capt. Mitchell, in ballast, and bound
from Exmouth to Neath, is supposed to have been
completely wrecked. It is said that all the crew,
consisting of six, were drowned. The Zoe, Plymouth
brig, in ballast, and bound for Cardiff ; five, out of
a crew of nine, including the pilot, were loat. The
