CASUALTY AT SEA —A vessel named the Mary,
belonging to Mr. M'Ferran, of Carrickfergus, sprting
a leak no Friday evening last, and sunk within sight
of Ailsa Craig. The crew were saved.
THUNDERSTORM AND HAIL SHOWELL—On Saturday
evening, about half-past four o'clock, the town and
neighbourhood of Belfast were vhdted with a thunder..
storm and a very heavy hail sower, which lasted for
about fifteen minutes, and did eousiderable. damage
outside of the town. In the Botanic Gardens the
glass in the roof of the orchid house was completely
riddled by the lumps of ice which fell 'upon it, some
of them very nearly three inches in circumference ;
scarcely a pine has been left whole in the small green-
house, and the cold frames have all been injured more
or less. At Mr. Batt's, of Strandmillia, the effects
of the storm Were also severely felt ; and at Mr.
Bristow's, in the opposite side of the Lagan from the
Botanic Gardens, there were no fewer than 29 panes
of glass broken in his dwelling-house windows, and
120 in his greenhouse. On Sunday and yesterday a
great quantity of rain fell, and the weather has been
very stormy; indeed, such has been the violence of
the storm, that about ten o'clock yesterday morning
a large chimney, 'lately erected by Mr. Frith at his
imanufactory was blown down; and in the evening a
large ship dragged her anchors, and was nearly ashore
of Groomsport. At a late hour last night, however,
we wire informed that she had been got into Belfast
Lough, wheie she was then riding in safety.
,From the coast of Ireland many disastrous ship-
wrecks are reported. The Wateford Correspondent
of the Shipping Gazelle writes :7--" The' Bandon,
Shea, put in, from Newport fot Kinsale, and reports
that, running in, she fell in with a large steamer,
s,upposed to be one of the packets, with the hull of
the Serapis, of Wexford, for Waterford, from Car-
diff, in tow. The master of the steamer hailed him,
and asked him if he would take her in tow. He replied,
if he would pass the warps on board in his boat, he
would ; but the master of the steamer not complying
he left him. The boat was hauled up, and took the
people out of the wreck, and let her go. When the
report came on shore, the Joseph, fishing smack, went
out after her and towed her into Dunmore, where she
remains. It is not known how the 'accident happened,
as the crew were taken away 'in the steamer. The
Brisk, Hughes, from Newport to Cork, parted her
chain up Buttermilk Castle. She drove against the
point, and when the tide fell she sunk. The crew
are saved. When she run in the wind was S S W.,
and abmit eight P.m. the wind came at W.N.W.,
strong, and she parted.
Her Majesty's dockyard lighter Tortoise, from
Holyhead tor Plymouth, was driven high on the
beach at Maltraeth, and remains. .
At Aberystwith, on Saturday, as the day came on,
it increased to a whole gale ; the sea in the bay ran
high, short, and hollow. About 8 A.m. a vessel was
perceived in the offing, making for this port, heavy,
but little sail set. On her arrival into port, she
proved to be the schooner Idea, Delahoyde, from
Glasgow or Troon for Seville, having in the early
part of the gale split her mainsail, topsail, topgallant-
sail, and carried away her foreyard. The morning
of the Bth a seaman's chest came on shore near the
entrance of the harbour, empty, and no lid, with no
marks to identify it.
From the coast of Scotland we have the following
from the Shipping Gazette correspondent :—"Mon-
Cross, Oct. 7.--N.E., moderate, cold and wet.—The
Edith, Moodie, of this piece for St. Petersburgh for
Dundee, came on shore this morning, about three
o'clock, at the mouth of the North Esk. The night
was extremely dark and stormy, wind at S.E. Hav-
ing missed the lights, the vessel got away down into
the bottom of the bay, and the wind, in place of
abating, continuing to increase in violence, it was
deemed prudent to run her on shore. Preparations
are now making for landing the cargo ; and, should
he weather keep moderate, the likelihood is she will
be got off, and towed round to this harbour."
CUMBERLAND.—Yesterday was one of the most
stormy and tempestuous days that has been experienced
here for several years past. • The gale commenced at
an early hour in the morning, and continued with
tearful violence until after midnight. We have not
heard of any damage having been sustained in the
town ; but we are afraid we shall yet hear of sad
disasters at sea, from the fury of the tempest. Some
vessels entered this port during-the storm. A portion
of the sea-wail in front of the railway at Mickleam
Point; near Herrington, was washed down yesterday
by the heavy sea. The line of railway is at such a
distance from the breasting that the disaster throws
no obstruction whatever in the way of the trains pass-
ing. to and fro, as usual.—Cumberland Pacquet, of
Tuesday.

At Whitebaven on the 7ch it blew a complete hur-
ricane, from north-west, and the sea ran with a tre-
mendous swell on, end the run in the harbour was so
strong•thst it was with the greatest difficulty ships
were kept to their moorings. The Woodville, Hellons,
which sailed for Dublin on Saturday, having lost her
sails, came back too late on the tide, and stuck out-
side the old quay, and struck so heavily the next
tide that she sunk,, but ou Tuesday morning the
water was let out of her, and being caulked, the
weather having moderated, she has been towed into
port. The Mary,'Douglas, of and for Dublin from
this port (coal laden), has been driven on shore on
Drigg Beach, but is expected to be got off if the wea-
ther moderates.

Burnie, from Quebec, ar-
but in consequence of a
rivAedt
03iffIarfy.oproprtotrht ec Garriaisclee,,
gale. from the N.W. a pilot could not get out to her ;
however, the steam-tug went out, and succeeded in
getting a rope from her, but could render • her very
little assistance ; after which the Grace let go her
anchors, but was obliged to slip them, and was run
on shore to save the vessel and cargo, after which she
struck heavily for a short
‘time and had six feet of
ater in her hold, but no doubt will be got off again
after discharging her cargo.
At Fleetwood the gale did not abate until the
night of Monday, and on Tuesday morning a vessel
was discovered on her beam-ends, on the north wharf,
inside the Screw Pile Lighthouse. The Nile (steamer)
went to her, and sbe was found to be the Lion, of
Ardrossan, laden with Indian corn, and supposed to
be from Liverpool for Londonderry ; the hatches
were off, and the vessel full of water, with a great
part of the cargo washed out. Some of the sails,
spars, and running rigging were got and brought in,
and every, effort will be made to get the vessel into
harbour, but it is doubtful if this can be done. None
of the crew have been heard of, and as there was no
boat with the vessel, it is feared they took to the boat,
'and have all been lost. There is little or no chance
of getting any of the cargo, The sloop Sarah, of
Whitehaven, laden with pipeclay, is ashore at Black-
pool.
At Bridlington, the Commerce Jeffery, of Spey,
•from London for Newcastle, put in on Monday, with
main-sail split. While
coming to an anchor in the
bay, and handing the topsail, at 12 30 rad, two of
the crew, natives of Aberdeen, fell from the yard and
were dreadfully injured. One, Teeophilus Leggett
Christie, aged 23, had received a concussion of the
brain; he lingered until 11 P.M., when he expired.
The other, David Lowe, besides other injuries, had
one thigh broken.

The First Lord of the Admiralty, the Right U.

in his capacity of one of the Members of the borough,
to dine at the Beneficial Hall Society's annual
charitable feast in Kent-street, Portsea. A large

Captain Sir E. Parry, and Dr. John Richardson, of

DEVONPORT Docxs AGAIN.—The Admiralty are
at last convinced that a deeper dock at Devonport
woull be sometimes necessary. And now, after all
the filling in and digging out, they have given orders
for the miserable little affair constructing to be en-
larged, and made something like a dock ; so that a

ship with all her stores might be taken in ate high
water, at neap tides. Teis is a step in the right
direction, and if adopted tit first, a very large expense
would have been saved.
SHOT PRACTICE ON THE KAMPTULICON LINING
rote IRON SHIPS.—The last kamptulicon butt not
having been sufficiently lined with that material,
when practised at about a fortnight ay, from the
Excellent, no opinion could be formed of its capabili-
ties of preventing the shot breatiog and the splinters
flying► off. Another iron butt, with a better lining,
was therefore prepared, and it was fired at on Tues-
day afternoon, from the Excellent, at the-distance of
450 Yards. We have heard that it does not answer
the expectation fortncd of it. The shot passing
through the iron hal the effect of separating the
k.unptulicon substance or planking, and breaking- it
off in large square pieces, instead of passing through
it-by a round hole. A correspondent, however, has
sent us the following account :--"Four. 321 b. shots
fired from the battery of the Excellent, with a charge
of 101 b. of powder, and a range of about 500 yards,
against a large iron target, lined with kardptulicon,
-the shots struck the target with nearly the same re-
sults as those described to have taken place a Wool-
wich, in 1846, in which instance the shots were fired
from the Ordnance guns. The previous experiments
at Portsmouth were to test the efficiency of timber as
a lining between the angle irons, when it was found
that the effect of shot was to add wooden splints rather
than 'to diminish those of iron. From the proper-
ties of the kamptulicon it cannot splinter,' and, the
pieces of it which are blown out by the force of the
shot are pronounced to be harmless, whilst the greater
portion of the iron and splinters were retained. It
appears that the views of Mr. Walter (the gentleman
at whose instance the experiment was tried); are not
confined to iron ships. He says that the composition
being a non-conductor, would remove the difficulty
which exists with regard to the frequent derangement
of the compass. The question of its adoption of course
rests with the Admiralty."
Rear-Admiral J. B. Reynolds, C. 8., the Comman-
der-in-Chief on the Brazil Station, in his flag-ship
Southampton, 50, Captain N. Cory, returned to Rio
Janeiro, August 10, after a cruize in which her ten-
der, the Harpy steam-vessel, Second Master Beatson
in charge, had captured an empty slaver, as mentioned
in our intelligence from Brazils, in another column.
The slaver was a vessel of 120 tons, and had been
sent to St. Helena for adjudication. The Southamp-
ton remained at Rio August 28. The Cormorant, 6,
steam-sloop, Commander Schomberg, returned there
from cruising, August 22, and the Rifleman, 8,
screw-schooner, Lieutenant Commander Branch, re-
turned with the flag-ship. The Sharpshooter, 8,
screw- schooner, Lieutenant Commander Barclay, also
returned to Rio, from a cruize, August 13.
Dauntless screw steam-frigate, Captain E. P. Hal-
stead, bent sails on Tuesday, and yesterday her com-
passes were swung by the master of the Victory, and
she is now ready to go to Spithead. She is uncom-
monly well painted, and is already in creditable
order; she looks well, and there is not a more splendid
ship in the service. It is a great pity that she has
been undermasted. She should have had spars for
her tonnage, for a ship of this description should never
use her steam but on urgent occasions.
Peterel, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Commander
Cresser, has had her defects made good at Devonport,
and is now ready for sea.
Retribution, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Warden,
has arrived at Queenstown from Portsmouth. •

Seaflower. cutter, Lieutenant-Commander Griffiths,
tender to the Cuckoo, arrived at Portsmouth, from
Jersey yesterday morning., and went into harbour..

Thetis. 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., is nearly com-
plete at Devonport. She will be taken out of har-
bour this morning.
Termagant screw steam frigate, recently fitted as
a first-class advanced ship at Portsmouth, fully rig-
ged, with all descriptions of stores on board for three
months, has been taken into the steam-basin and
totally dismantlM. Her stores, rigging, -cordage,
canvas, and her spars and yards (except her.lower
masts and those stowed on the booms) have been
landed, .and returned into store. Her guns are to re-
main on board. It was only a short time since that
she was fitted, and it was expected daily that she
would have been commissioned ; however, this process
sends her into ordinary..
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.,....-The 'Britannia, 120,
Captain Yates, has been removed to the moorings of
the Illustrious to-day, and commenced painting.
The Norwegian corvette Ruen, Captain Valeur,
sailed from Spithead this afternoon for Cherbourg,
Brest, Lisbon, and the Mediterranean.
The, annual meeting of the Seamen and Marines'
Orphan- Schools took place at this port today, the
Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Bladen Capel,
K.U.8., in the chair. The society, we are pleased to
say, seems prosperous, but its funds need augmenta-
tion. No charity in the kingdom is more deserving
of the sympathies and support of the benevolent than
this, inasmuch as it is founded solely for the educa-
tion and welfare of the orphans of both sexes of those
who have bled or died in its defence.

WOOLWICH, OCT. 9.—The Geyser steam-sloop, at
Woolwich, is expected to be commissioned at that
port to-morrow by Commander Edward Tatham
(1846).

The Garland, Dover mail steam-packet, Lieutenant-
Commander W. Wylde, left Woolwich at 8 o'clock
A.M. to-day, and Mr. Hurnphrys, chief engineer at
Woolwich Dockyard, went down in her to witness the
working of her engines after their defects were made
good, and as they answered remarkably well, the Gar-
land proceeded for Dover, to resume her duties at that
station.

The Resistance troop-ship, Master-Commander
Bradshaw, has a number of shipwrights and joiners
employed upon her previous to the embarkation of
three companies of Royal Artillery, one for con-
veyance to Gibraltar, one to Malta, and one to Corfu,
to relieve a similar number of companies from these
stations.

-T--beframe timbers of the Agamemnon-, 80, build-
ing here, have been all put up, and workmen have
commenced a platform where the lower deck is to be
placed to test the working of her stern guns. A ship
gun-carriage and a section of an 8-inch gun nide feet
long, to weigh 65 cwt., have been placed on the plat-
form, to ascertain how they may be worked before the
deck is permanently laid. The stern of the Aga-
memnon is round, and projects considerably beyond
the screw-propeller with which she is to be fitted.
Mr. %Val-, assistant surveyor, paid an official visit to
the Agamemnon on Tuesday last, and it is expected
the Lords of the Admiralty will visit her on Satur-
day, or on an early day next week.

THE ARMY.
The f,.llowing Gen,,ral Order, with reference to
leave of absence, has just been issued :
Horse Guards, Oct. 8.
The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to approve of
f,zeneral officers commanding districts in Great
Britain granting leave of absence to officers, and fur-
loughs to non-commissioned officers and soldiers,
under the following regulations and restrictions, viz.:-
1. The leaves of absence, granted under this order
to officers, may commence as soon as the half-yearly
inspection shall have been made. The furloughs
granted to non-commissioned officers and soldiers may
commence from the Ist of the next month.

2. These indulgences are to terminate on the 10th
of March next, when, in conformity to her Majesty's
regulations, all officers and soldiers are to be present
with their respective regiments.
3. One field officer, one-half of the captains, and
one-half of the subaltern officers, are always to be
present with their regiments.
4. No officer (except in the performance of duty,
or for the purpose of joining his regiment) is to quit
the United Kingdom without having first received her
Majesty's special permission.
5. The officers employed on the recruiting service,
or upon the staff' of the army, are not to be included in
the number hereby fixed for the constant duty of the
regiment.
6. The applications for leave for regimental pay-
masters and medical cfficers are to continue to be
made in the mode prescribed in the regulations and
orders for the army.
7. In cases of short leaves of absence being re-
quested by adjutants, riding-masters, quarter-masters,
or veterinary surgeons of regiments, it will be neces-
sary that a special report shall be made as to the mode
in which their duties are to be performed during their
absence, and that the commanding officer is satisfied.
8. The proportion of non-commissioned officers,
trumpeters, drummers, and private men, to whom
furloughs may be granted, is not to exceed ten per
troop or company.
When regiments are not stationed in garrisons or
military districts, the officers commanding are at
liberty to use their discretion in granting the indul-
gence of leave of absence, under the foregoing re-
strictions, to the officers and soldiers under their
command.

This order does not apply to the officers and soldiers
doing duty with the depot companies of regiments on
foreign service.
His Grace expects that the general and other officers,
who are empowered to grant leave of absence under
the provisions of this order, will strictly confine that
grant to the proportion of fficers herein specified.
By command of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wel-
lington, Commander-in-Chief,

GEORGE BROWN, Adjutant-General.

CITY CO2IIMISSIOiVERS OF SEWERS•

On Tuesday a Court was held at the Guildhall, Mr.
Deputy Peacock in the chair.
Some conversation took place between the Com-
missioners upon the subject of the vote of 301. for the
enalyzation of water, but was dropped upon the sug-
gestion of the Chairman that it might as well be
postponed until the arrival of the medical officer of
health.

When Mr. Simon entered the court,
The CHAIRMAN requested that the medical officer
would state whether he had taken any steps with
regard to the analyzation of water, and the expendi-
ture for that purpose of the 301. granted to him by the
vote of the last Court.

Mr. SimoN said he had taken some preliminary
steps in the matter.

Mr. BLAKE—Steps for which you believe you will
have to pay ?
Mr. SlMON—Assuredly.
Mr. R. TAYLOK was most anxious to be satisfied
as to the necessity for any steps at all on•the occasion
by the officer of health. He wished for further in-
formation. At present he thought the amount asked
for was excessively high.
Mr. SIMON considered it most desirable that he
should have proper analyses made of the water of the
two companies which at present supply the city, and
of that of all the available sources of supply, so that
be might be able to give a positive opinion upon the
subject.
Deputy HOLT thought that if the officer of health,
by the expenditure of the small sum proposed, were
certain he should be able to arrive at a satisfactory
conclusion upon the point, the money would assuredly
be well spent.

Mr. SIMON intimated that he did not entertain a
doubt upon the subject. His only object in asking
for the grant was, that he might be in a better posi-
tion to furnish to the Commissioners accurate infor-
mation with regard to the quality of the water, by
which they might be enabled to guide their decision
upon any future occasion. As to the amount of money
which might be expended in obtaining the analysis
that should not prove an obstacle, as he was ready to
defray that sum out of his own pocket, rather than
place himself in a questionable position before the
Commissioners. He was content, however, to leave
the matter in their hands. _ _

Mr. LOTT—They were bound to supply the medi-
cal officer with the means of enabling him to make a
satisfactory report. He thought they were hardly
acting fairly towards the medical officer in the course
they were pursuing in requiring him to furnish
them with information as he proceeded step by step.
After some further conversation the matter ended.
The vote was not recalled.
DEODORIZING OF THE CITY SEWERS.

Mr. HA-rwoon, the surveyor of the City sewers,
brought up his report upon the subject of the effect of
Collins's deodorizing powder in destroying the Effluvia
generated in the sewers. The report stated that the
proposed mode of applying this agent was to place at
intervals throughout the whole length of the sewers
pots, or other vessels, containing certain quantities of
the powder, which would require to be periodically
inspected, stirred, and replenished. The chlorine
evolved from these vessels, it was stated, would com-
bine with and neutralize the sulphuretted hydrogen,
ammonia, and other gases and volatile products, &c.,
forming the ordinary stench of sewers, and thus render
their atmosphere comparatively sweet, and the chance
emanations from gullies harmless. It appeared,
according to the data furnished to Mr. Haywood,
that the distance apart at which vessels would require
to be placed would be about 15 yards. This would
give 117 per mile, and assuming the aggregate length
of the City sewers which could be entered for this
purpose at 44 miles, the total number of vessels re-
quired would be 5,148, and it was stated each of these
would probably require replenishing every eight or
ten days, and stirring up once during the interval. A
tender had been made lor providing the vessels and
a sufficient quantity of the powder effectually to pre-
vent effluvium at 11. per mile per week. Assuming
the aggregate length of the sewers at 44 miles, the
cost per annum would therefore amount to 2,2881.,
with an estimated additional charge for supervision
and labour in replenishing the vessels (not included in
the tender) of about 4001. per annum, making the
total annual cost of the system 2,6881. The cost of
adapting the sewers in the first instance for the re-
ception of the vessels was also estimated at about
4001. Mr. Haywood stated that he had no doubt the
powder in question possessed remarkably deodorizing
powers. Experiments had been made with the powder
in some of the sewers, but the evidence given by per-
sons who had been deputed to observe its effects led
to very contradictory opinions, and Mr. Haywood
had been unable to gain such experience as he consi-
dered would justify him in recommending the adop-
tion of the plan. From experiments he had made
upon the effects of the powder out of the sewers, he
was of opinion that it was inapplicable for the pur-
poses suggested, and that, however useful it might
be under immediate inspection and control in its ap-
plication, it would be extremely difficult, if not im-
practicable, to apply it effectually to the public
se% e:s. He stated that the powder evolved chlorine,
though whether in sufficient strength to cause danger
to life or health he was unable to say; but as seve-
ral eminent chymists described chlorine gas as
highly deleterious, and as some of the work-
men felt such repugnance to an atmosphere im-
pregnated with gas from this powder that they
had even refused to work in it, he thought upon
that head the propriety of its application to the
sewers might be questionable. He considered it
right to state, however, that at the place where
the powder was manufactured upon a large scale no
inconvenience appeared to be felt by those engaged in
its preparation, and that he did not think the objec-
