TIIE STORM IN THE NORTII SEA. —The weather,
which had been extremely stormy and boisterous for a
week, and which drove most of the screw steamers bound
from Hamburg to the Tyne back to Cuxhaven, was on
Wednesday moderate and tine, and these vessels have all
•arrived in safety in the north-east ports. The weather
was fearfully stormy at the mouth of the Elbe in the later
part of last week, and the steamers which reached the
Tyne on Wednesday report that two sailing vessels were
lost, with all hands, at the mouth of the Elbe, during the
recent bad weather.

bourhood of Edinburgh at the end of next month, he
