was carried from her anchors some distance, and at
length was obliged to run for Margate Roads, where
she brought up in safety. Several ships lost
anchors and chains, and succeeded in getting into
Ramagwe harbour. Two veszels met with their
r loss in endeavouring to reach that haven -of.refuge. ~
The French lugger Josephine, -coal-laden, bound

and became a total wreck. All the hands were
saved, with the excepiion of tin • apprentice.,
Another Freaoh vessel, the schooner Petite Emma.
bound for Nantes from Sunderland, struck again-3;
the same pier and became a wreck, the'crew being
also preserved. Early yesterday morning 'a lane
ship was seen on the east end of ti!e Goodwin
Sands. Boatmen were sent off' from Deal a d '
other places, and on reaching ,near the wreck it
was fettild to be a fine. Ame:ic in ship, named the
A. B. Kimball, of Portland. United State's: She
was bound for New York with a general cargo from
Sunderland, and she is reported -to have gone on
the Sand late on the pr-vious night. .. The crew
aro stated 6 have bi,en saved. The ship - is-- a
wreck, awl her loss will be coniiiierable. So tie-
mendous was the ..sea running in the-Channel that
the mail steamers were unable to leave Dover-
harbour. • - .

On the south side of the Lleof Wight the Portu-.
guese bark Temeraria, Captain Mac:ido, bound to
(Porno rom the Tyne, was d iven
.ashore on Thum-
day morning-d.utiog.the heighEof the gale. TO ship
immediately beg-in to break up, and her cOrn-
mander, chief mate, and one of the seamen were
drowned. She was laden with coals. About tin
same t;me another foreign. vesiol was last at the
back Ofthe island. The ill-fa.ted ship was the
Spanish. brig Nuestra Sen9ra, dal Carmen, on a
voyage from Bilhoa, for Norway ; she could not
weather the gale, and was driven ashore near
Da.rnsey, but the crew saved tht•mselvet.
Lower down the Channel the gale raged more
severely. In the vicinity of Lyme, to the west-
ward 'of Portl%nd, several small vessels were
wrecked. Tile Glory, belonging Plymon h, was
driven frfin her moorings and foundered. The
Emu, of Jersey, and James and Charlotte were

parte-1, went on Luca's 'Ledge, and went ashore.
T.he crews were all saved.

The accounts from the Cornish coast speak of the
gale having reached the force of alnawb a hurricane.
The gale was from S. S.E. to S., with a tremendous
sea and heavy rain. Off Penzance several stores
have been picked up by the fishing lugger Monkey,
which hai led to a belief that some unfortunate ves-
sel had foundered during the fearful night of Wel-
nesday.
A fatal I.ss is reported to have occurred to Car-
marthen Bay on Wednesday evening. During a
heavy Brinell a French vessel laden, with three red
sails, drove from her anchorage near the Hooper
Sands, and foundered, the whole of her crew going
down with her.

Between Beachey Head and Dungeness the wea
ther was very rough. The fatal loss of the sloop
Draper, Mr. Peirce, master, bound.to Plymouth,
with all on board, off HastingA, has already been
briefly announced. The crew were seen some time
in the rigging before the vessel wei.t to pieces, when
They perished. The people ashore were unable to
render them any assistance owing to the heavy sea
wh;ch rolled in on the beach. The Draper was
fram Newcastle, and was laden with coals and ma-
chinery. None of the bodies have been cast ashore.
On the south aide of the Isle of Wight, the Por-
tuguese barque Teineraria, Capt. Maceido, bound
to Oporto, from the Tyne, was claim!' ashore on
Thursday morning, during the height of the gale.
The ship immedia`ely began to break up, and her
commander, chief mite,. and one of the seamen
were drowned : she was laden with coals. About
the same time another foreign vessel was lost at the
back of the island. The ill-fa•ed ship was the
Spanish brig Nuestra Senora del Carmen, on a
voyag from Bilboa to Norway. She could not
weather the gale, and was driven ashore near Barn-
sey, but the crew saved themselves.

-L.)wer down the Chtnnel the gale, if possille,
raged more severe. In the vicinity of Lyme, to the
westward of Portland, several small vessels were
wreeke 1. The Glory, belonging to Plymbuth, was
driven from lnr mornings and founderel. _The
Emu, of Jersey, and James and ChailAte, were
wreaked near the northern wall of the harbour.
Another small vessel, the Little Gem, of Guernsey,
parted, Went on Lucas ledge, and went whore—the
crews were all saved.
_ The accounts from the Cornish coast p.:,alc of the
gale having reached the forco of almost a hurri-
cane. The gale was from S.S. E. to S., with a tre-
mendous ,sea and heavy rain. Many casualties are
reported, but it is feared that the full extent of
the mischief is yet to be learued. Off -Penzinco
several stores have been p'cked up by the fishing
lugger Moulcq, which has led to a belief that some
unfortunate vessel had foundered during the fear-
ful night of Wednesday.
A fatal loss is reported to have occurred in
Carmarthen Bay on Wednesday evening. Daring
a heavy squall, a French vessel, loaded, with three
red sails, drove from her anchorage near the Hooper

down with her.
