91,
..pt. G. O'Callaghan, were there waiting to be re.
lieved by the screw frigate Doris, 32, Capt. Sir F. L.
M'Clintock. The Caesar, 90, left Beyrout on the
24th, to take up her post at the Piraeus until re-
lieved by a vessel from Malta, and to relieve the
screw corvette Racoon, 22, Capt. W. Lambert, or-
dered home. The screw sloop Lapwing, 4, Coln-
mender M. O'Reilly, is also expected soon from the
East, to proceed to England to be paid off. The
French steam frigate Mogador, and two or three
smaller vessels, remained at Beyrout. The health
of the crews of the English and French ships con-
tinued good Everything was quiet in Syria. The
screw sloop Intrepi6, Commander J. H. Marryat,
left to-day for Beyrout, and it is said she will be fol-
lowed by the paddlewheel frigate Terrible, 21, Capt.
F. H. Glasse, C. 8., which is, there is every reason to
believe, intended to keep on the coast of Syria dui-
ing the season when stormy weather may be ex-
pected. The screw sloop Surprise, 4, Commander
W. H. Whyte, also left to day for Bengazi, to bring
back the Government staff of engineers and electri-
cians on that station, in connection with the Malta
and Alexandria telegraph. It is believed that on her
return she will be despatched to Naples as tender to
the Exmouth, 90, Captain J. Paynter. From Mes-
sina, under date of the 4th inst., I learn that the
screw liner Victor Enimanuel, 91, Captain W.
Clifford, C. 8., was still in that port, and the James
Watt, 91, Captain E. Codd, at Syracuse. The screw
corvette Scylla, 21, Capt. R. Lambert, was at Ta-
rento, in the Calabrias, where she had orders to
remain until the 11th inst. A Russian war steamer,
called the Psesonape, Commander Schmidt, arrived
here on the 4th inst. from Beyrout, and left yester-
day for Marseilles. The Russian frigate Le Grand
Amiral (carrying the flag of Rear-Admiral Sches-
takoff) is still here. Major-Gen. E. Horn, C. 8.,
took his departure on Saturday last for Marseilles
en route to England, having been relieved in the
command of the 2d Brigade by Brigadier-General
H. Bates. Major-General H. Wood, C. 8., has as-
sumed the command of the Ist Brigade. Her Ma-
jesty' s ships in port are ;—The Marlborough, 131,

fell rapidly, and just as dusk closed in the danger
signal was again hoisted, indicating bad weather
from the north. Shortly after the wind got up from
E.N.E., accompanied by pouring rain, and con-
tinued to blow with increasing violence during the
evening. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
night, many townsmen were on the beach until a
late hour, who watched with anxiety the lights of
the vessels appear and disappear in the seas. Be-
tween 10. and 11 the gale had become a hurricane,
sweeping the roads with tremendous fury, the sea
breaking along the beach in a terrific surf. At
midnight the storm abated, and there was a tem-
porary lull, but about 3 a.m. it again got up, blow-
ing in furious gusts from the west. At daybreak
this morning those who had been on the beach the
previous night again visited it at early dawn, and
as the dark outlines of the vessels showed in the
gray light of morning, still riding ill safety where
they had last been seen, many a heart was relieved
of its anxious foreboding. No casualties are re-
ported, though several vessels were seen to proceed
through the Roads last afternoon, tidings of which
are awaited with anxiety. Some of our luggers and
smacks arc also out and alarm will be felt for their
safety until they are heard of. The barometer
stands at 28.8, having fallen from 29.8 since the
previous afternoon. At the hour of sending off our
parcel the gale still rages with great fury, and
shows no sign of abatement.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.
On Monday night, while the gale was at its height
the steam tug. Brother Jonathan took in tow the
brig Euxine, of Hartlepool, Capt. Robertson, from
Alexandria, laden with beans, off the Lytham shore.
Soon after 8 o'clock, when a tremendous sea was
running, the hawser broke, and Capt. Robertson re-
fused to have a new hawser supplied, saying he
would let go his anchor and ride out the storm. No
more was heard of her till Wednesday morning,
when the ill-fated vessel was discovered on the
Horse Bank, near Lytham, on her beam ends, and
her crew is supposed to have perished. Yesterday
morning a letter was received by Mr. T. Court, sec-
retary to the Underwriters' Association at Liver-
pool, of which the following is a copy :—" Fleet-
wood, Nov. 13,1861.—Dear sir,—The body oamn
has been picked up in this district. In his poicietti
were found a receipt given by W. H. Lambton and
Co., bankers, Newcastle-on-Tyne, for £220, paid
into the bank., It is dated May 30, 1861, No. 15,139,
and is endorsed by Alexander Robertson. Also a
bill of exchange, dated Alexandria, Aug. 7, 1861,
No. 9,667, drawn by Briggs and Co. on Heath and
Co., London, in favour of Thomas Belk, for £75,
He had a gold watch and guard, stopped at 4 55.
From the appearance of the body he seems to have
been about 55 years of age, and does not appear to
have been in the water above a day or two. I am
informed that a brig was totally wrecked off Ly-
tham on Monday. Probably he was the master of
her. She was loaded with beans. I think his name
Alex. Robertson. Pro F. Kemp, J. W." It has since
been ascertained that the body referred to in the
above letter is that of Capt. Robertson, of the Euxine,
