TEE LATE FURIOUS GALE.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

We have again been visited by violent weather.
For the last three or four days a gale has been blow-
ing along the coasts of this district. It has been very
severe since Saturday, and several casualties have
occurred in consequence. The Royal Mail steam-
ship Canada, that sailed hence on Saturday after-
noon, was to have called at Queenstown yesterday
afternoon, for the late mails made up for despatch
by her to the United States and British-
North America. So severe, however, was
the weather and sea in St. George's Channel,
that the Canada did not reach Queenstown until
noon to-day. From the state of the sea, as given
on the arrival of the Africa yesterday, which was
described as very heavy, the non-receipt of a tele-
gram announcing the arrival of the Canada at
Queenstown at the expected time created no un-
easiness.
The following are the disasters that have been
reported up to late this afternoon :--
A barque was aground. at 2.30 p.m., on Little
B urbo.
A schooner is ashore in Bottle Bay, with one of
her masts gone.
The Empress Eugenie (s.s.), hence to London, has
put into Milford with loss of sails, spars, stan-
chions, bulwarks, boats, and is leaking slightly.
She will return to Liverpool to discharge: . .

The ship James Alexander, of Liverpool, brought
up to-day in Boultop Roads, Bride's Bay, and a
telegram received in Liverpool says she will be
ashore if the wind changes. She is in greitt dan-
ger, and has lost all her sails, and has five feet of
water in her hold.
The screw steamer African, hence for Constanti-
nople, ashore at Padstow, has parted her port cable,
and was lying across Channel two hours after high
water.
The Chincas, Dawson, hence to Rio Janeiro, is
totally wrecked in Mount's Bay. Four hands have
been lost.

The Eliza Morrison, for Quebec, has been aban-
doned off Cape Clear.

The gale which had been blowing very heavily
during the whole of Sunday, shifted suddenly at
midnight to S.S.W., and increased in violence until
three o'clock, at which time the storm assumed the
fury of a perfect hurricane, chimney pots, tiles,
slates, and bricks were torn off the roofs and hurled
with violence to the ground, and in their fall serious
injuries were inflicted on many persons. In Lam-
beth and its vicinity the havoc was terrific, and
the damage to property immense. ". Two fine
spreading trees were uprooted in South Lambeth,
and a large elm tree that skirted the road
near the Windmill publichouse, in the Deptford-
road, was broken short off by the roots and fell
across the carriage way, impeding the traffic for
some time; fortunately no person was injured,
although many were passing near the spot at the
time. Mr. Routledge, of Rotherhithe, was struck
with a brick, which felled him to the ground, in-
flicting serious injury. Marion Stephens had her
skull laid bare by a broken pantile which cut,
through her bonnot ; a heavy flagstone that formed
a part of the coping to a house in Tyler-street, was
blown off and by its weight buried itself several
inches in the ground. The shrubberies and gardens
in the districtsouth of the Thames suffered severely;
the young trees and shrubs having been laid pro-
strate. On the river and in the docks, notwith-
standing that the precaution had been taken to
strike the topmasts and yards of the shipping, the
confusion that existed is indescribable ; tiers of
vessels dragged or parted from their Moorings,
numerous collisions were the result, and an immense
quantity of damage to spars, rigging, and bul-
warks. A laden lighter was swamped, and several
casualties occurred above bridge, providentially
without loss of life. On the South-Eastern, the

Eastern-Countie3, and Great Northern Railways the
wind blowing nearly deal down the lines, the up-
mail trains were delayed beyond their time of
arrival, and on the other railways the down trains
were much impeded by the violence of the gale.
The accounts received this morning represent the
storm to have raged furiously on the sbuth and
west, with a heavy sea running, and it is feared
that many casualties have taken place. 'At eight
o'clock the wind hauled more round to the west-
ward, with every appearance of moderating.

DOVER, SUNDAY 7 P.M.

It blew another furious gale at Dover yesterday,
ranging from S.W. to W. The South-Eastern boat,
and the mail packet with the India mails, came
over from Calais in the evening, and had very
rough passages, but the wind and sea were too
heavy to allow the mail packets to go to the Ad-
miralty-pier last night. They therefore remained
in harbour until this morning, when both left at
daylight, and got to Ostend and Calais safely. To-
day the strong gale has continued, and reports of
disasters are flying about. A bark, dismasted,
passed up this afternoon in tow of a pilot cutter.

PLYMOUTH, Nov, 6.

It has been blowing heavily all night, and the
storm continues unabated. Some apprehensions
are entertained for the safety of the packet ship, St.
.Nicholas, Captain Bragdon, of and from New York
for Havre. She is laden with light goods and wines,
and has 140 passengers, principally Germans. The
St. Nicholas was dismasted in the gale of last Tues-
day, and spoke a pilot off Falmouth the next day.
On Friday she was outside this port, and the mas-
ter sent ashore his chief officer to get a steamer to
tow her back to Havre, where it is said there is, be-
longing to the same owners, another ship capable
of taking the passengers. Mr. Fox, the United
States' Consul, despatched immediately the steam-
tug Lord Yarborough, the master of which,
with the chief officer of the ship, returned here
last evening and stated that they were unsuccess-
ful in discovering the St. Nicholas, and, having
gone well to the eastward, had some difficulty
in getting the tug as far back as Salcome,
whence they came by land. The English barqu:
Columbine, Captain Sampson, seventy days from
Bristol, for Quebec, put in here on Wednesday with
spars sprung, sails split, and pumps choked. The
Swedish ship Norden, Capt. Romera, from Gotten-
burg foriieghorn, twenty days out, entered the
Sound on Thursday with loss of bulwarks and stan-
chions, one man drowned, the master's arm and the
mate's leg broken. The American ship, Ocean
Pearl, Capt. Candler, 14 days out from Bordeaux
for New Orleans, came in with loss of three top-
gallant masts and nine feet of water in her hold.
The barque Corea, from London for Singapore, put
back with jibboom gone and cargo shifted. A
Swedish bark, from Dublin for Quebec, and a Nor-
wegian brig, from Falmouth for Galloway, with
wheat, put in with pumps choked. On Friday the
bark Orient, from London for Algoa Bay, came
in
damaged. Yesterday (Saturday) the English ship
John Yorrell, Captain Appleby, with railway
sleepers, 14 days out from Greenock, for
Madras. put into the Sound with loss of top-
gallant masts and sails, and mainmast sprung.
The vessel reported as having been lost near
Berry Head, was the brigantine Elizabeth Lass, 113
tons register, James Nugent, master, belonging to
Waterford. She had 1,607 barrels of oats for
Lymingtos, and went ashore at Redlap Cave. The
crew were saved by going out on the jibboom and
sliding down over the flying jib, which was all
adrift. They landed on the only exposed rock near.
A few yards either side and all must have been
lost; as it was, one man, John Lambert, of Kin-
sale, 26, missed his footing and was drowned.
The Lancashire Witch, Capt. Shallan, belonging
to Messrs. Dunbar and Sons, nine days out, with
soldiers' families for Bombay, put into the Sound
wind-bpund this morning, all well. The French
ship, Reine Mathilde, six days from Antwerp, with
general cargo for Lisbon, put in with engines dam-
aged. The wind continues very strong from S.W.,
with showers occasionally.

THE EASTERN COAST. The past week was a
most disastrous one for the shipping on the
eastern coast. In addition to the casualties
already reported, three vessels—a brig and
two schooners foundered off Yarmouth, and
two of the crews are supposed to have perished.
Tho master and ten men composing the crow of the
John Anderson, of London, which drifted on to
Hasborough Sands, and foundered, were picked up
by the Favourite fishing vessel, and landed at Yar-
mouth in a destitute and famished state. The
Richard Carnall, of Fowey, fr©m Liverpool, for Yar-
mouth, with salt, also got on the Hasborough Sands
and filled with water ; the crew were saved and
