GALE OF WIND AT MALTA.

Our advices from Malta to the Bth of January
announce much damage to the many ships in port,
indbouud and under anchorage, from 4 sudden gale
of wind which came on on the afternoon of New
Year's-day, blowing a perfect hurricane all night,
and with but little abatement until the forenoon
of the 2d. During the height of the gale the wind
was from E.N.E., and the barometer fell from
29 94 to 29.15, the thermometer ranging between
47 deg. to 52 deg., heavy rain falling nearly all
the time. At the very commencement of the gale
a small pleasure boat got swamped by the sea and
foundered off the Jews' Sallyport, by which dis-
aster James Warren, a stoker, and William Smith,
a quartermaster of the gunboat Fancy, met
with a watery grave ; two Maltese boatmen
(father and son), who were in the same boat,
were saved. The gunboat Cracker, lying in the
Sliema Creek, dragged her anchors and grounded,
but was got off without damage by the Recruit
and the Fancy, which kept their steam up. The
Neapolitan brig Ferdinand, with sulphur, was
wrecked on the Powder Magazine Point, and the
brig Alacrity, with Indian corn from the Danube,
knocked her bottom out and suffered such other
serious damage that her cargo, with the exception
of about 300 quarters, has been condemned, and
will be sold under the authority of the Commercial
Court. The Mehemet Ali, a French ship, laden
with deals, from Trieste, bound to Algiers, was
dashed to pieces on the coast of Gozo ; Captain
Callamoro and ono hand lost. The steamer Brenda
had her bowsprit carried away, besides other da-
mages. The Dutch galliot Wilhelmina also sus-
tained much damage, and was at one time in great
danger. In fact, scarcely a dozen out of some 200
vessels in port have escaped suffering some damage
or other, and it is supposed that 12,0001. will not
cover the losses. The soldiers' huts on Fort
Manoel Island, facing Sliema, were blown away,
and several of the inmates more or less hurt. Some
small tenements in the villages were also knocked
down by the violence of the wind and rain.

THE BRITISH FLEET. IN THE LEVANT.

According to our Malta correspondent, the fol-
lowing was the distribution, at Christmas, of the
fleet in the Levant Buyukdere, in the Bci-
phorus, the Royal Albert, bearing the flag of Ad-
mit al Lord Lyons, the Majestic, Cressy, Curagoa,
MOcienne, Sphynx, Vigilant, Coquette, Harpy,
and Ariel (which latter grounded on her coming up
from the Dardanelles, but was got off, after 36
hours, without damage) ; at Constantinople, the
Vulture and the Desperate ; in the Back Sea, the
Gladiator, Medina, Lynx, Arrow, and Wrangler ;
in the Danube, the Boxer and the Grinder ; and
in the Archipelago, the Gorgon and the Curlew.
With such a fleet, it would seem certainly very
bad management that not one of the very many
steam water tanks aid tug vessels bad been left to
attend upon it, in so great a hrrry were the Lords
of the Admiralty to break up the complete establish-
ment which had been formed in the Bosphorus
during the late war, even at the expense of almost
giving away vessels of this class, many of which
have found their way into Russian ports of the
Black Sea, purchased by Government agents, as
was likewise the case with fuel, for which high
prices are now, as a matter of course, being paid by
Ad Wind Lyons.

Oo Monday night the body of a new-born child was

A lady who was tried at Mr. Lumley's theatre some
years ago, Signora Sanchioli, has made such an impres-
sion on the public at Ascoli by her performance in "Le
rgphete,” that a votive bust of her, as Files, wrought
in Carrara marble, is to be set up in the theatre of that
town. The opera itself has been placed under the care
of censorship in the Papal States.
An Italian opera company, headed by Madame Grisi,
is about to make a two months' tour in the provinces
previous to the opening of Mr. Gye's LAndon season.
Before this closes the work a at Covent Garden will be
definitely commenced. The plans, rumour adds, have
undergone important extensions, and will tend to the
embellishment and improvement of the choked thorough •
tares of that crowded neighbourhood.
ALLEGED MURDER AT SEA.—flugh Orr, the master
of the barque Hannah Jane, of Belfast, was examined on
remand before the Plymouth magistrates on Thursday
