THE LATE GALES.

Since Thursday evening The coast has been visited by
a succession of gales, ranging from the SW to the NE.
They gradually increased in violence, and on Saturday
night and Sunday they caused serious damage. Already
have a largo number of losses been communicated by
Lloyd's agents.
Between Flamborough Head and the mouth of the
Tyne between 30 and 40 wrecks are reported to have oc-
curred, in several instances the vessel going down with
all hands. At Whitby throughout Saturday night and
Sunday a heavy gale raged from the ENE. Five coast-
ing vessels were driven ashore—the Abeona, Captain
Ellis, of London ; the Mary Anne, of Teignmouth ; the
William Pitt, of Hartlepool; the brig Medora, of Whitby;
and the schooner Port Glasgow. A few miles to the
southward of this port, in Robin Hood Bay, three vessels
liav2 been cast ashore, the whole of the crew of one of
them having perished. Off Runswick Bay, a little higher
up to the northward, a schooner is reported to have foun-
dered. At the neighbouricg port of Scarborough similar
weather was experienced with melancholy results. Dur-
ing the gale of Sunday there were driven ashore the
Thompson, from London, near the west pier ; crew, after
some difficulty, rescued by the lifeboat; the Northumber-
land ; the Happy Return, of Scarborough—crew saved ;
the Earns, of Shields, crew preserved ; and the Wilsons,
for London, from the Tyne, which went on the Rams-
dale Scar rocks—the crew, with the exception of Stanley
Merl, an apprentice, drowned, was taken off by the
lifeboat.
At Hartlepool and in its vicinity the gale was from the
eastward, with falls of snow and hail. A tremendous
sea broke upon the beach. On Sunday morning, be-
tween 10 and 11, a schooner, name unknown, with part
of her masts carried away, was observed to go down in
the bay, some short distance from the shore, with all on
board. A similar calamity is reported to have hap.
pened to two other schooners and a brig in the bay.
On the Norfolk coast the gale has been very destruc-
tive to shipping. Among those carried on the beach at
Yarmouth were the Happy Family, of Whitstable; the
schooner Janet, of Yarmouth ; the Agenoria, of Hart-
lepool ; the Eao of Shields ' • the Lark, of Seaham ; the
Fairy, of Yarmouth ; the Thos. Gawland and the Cur-
lew, of Sunderland ; the Thomas and Elizabeth, of Sea-
ham ; and several others. Happily, the whole of the
crews were enabled to save themselves.
The accounts from the more western portion of the
English Channel speak of very boisterous weather. The
screw steamer Dunaskin, Captain M'Farlane, of Troon,
with a crew rof 11 men,. beside the master, bound to
Bristol from Lisbon, was totally lost on the night of
Thursday, near Penzance.

The crew of the brig, with the exception of an appren-
tice named Wm. Cox, the son of an old Greenwich pen.
sioner, were rescued by the other South Shields life-
bcat ; and, by a strange coincidence, the coxswain of the
life-boat, Joseph Smith, happened to be the father-in-law
of the master of the brig. The brig was the Sarah Ellen
of London, Captain Revely. Before reaching the bar a
heavy sea had broken aboard the vessel, and capsized
her. Her master and crew, with the exception Gf the
boy, who was carried away by the waves, and drowned,
got on to her broadside. The mate was washed
away, but managed to lay hold of a bowline, and saved
himself. By the mainmast giving way the slip righted,
and the poor fellows escaped.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The great injury inflicted ou many 11
valids by drugs increases the interest the public take in Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, which cures without medicine
indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous,
bilious, and liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and
debility. We quote a few out of many thousand cases of
