DISASTROUS STORM AT SUNDERLAND

(From the Durham Chronicle of Saturday.) •
During the night of Tuesday last, and the whole of the
following day, the wind blew so tremendously from the
north-east, that not fewer than eighteen vessels were,
within that short period, stranded upon the coast between
Sunderland Pier and Hendon, including a distance of about
half a mile, the whole of which have already, or will
shortly, become perfect wrecks. What renders the ca'
tastrophe more deplorably calamitous is, that most of these
vessels were driven ashore at low water, the most tinily
vourable crisis of the tide, by which they were precipi"
tated on the rocky part of the coast, where wreck was in'
evitable. It is to be apprehended, that the loss sustained
OR other parts of the coast, if not equally extensive, must
have been very great. The pier, during the whole 0'
Wednesday, exhibited a scene of deplorable distress. --•
Wives and children were assembled upon it in great num-
hers, witnessing the appalling scene of their relatives ap-
parently approaching to certain destruction, piteously dr
precating the mercy and interposition of Heaven for their
deliverance. One little vessel, a sloop belonging to Mr.
Hill, of Monkwearmouth, who, with his son, formed
Part of the crew, foundered at a short distance from the
pier, under the most heart-rending circumstances. She
had left the port the preceding day, with every indi'
cation and likelihood of a quick and prosperous va'
age. Being driven back again, however, by the vie'
fence of this unanticipated change of weather, she at"
tempted to enter the harbour; but when she neared the
mouth of the river, she was dismasted by a heavy sea, and
almost instantly afterwards was thrown stem upwards by 0
tremendous breaker. To this part of the vessel the crew'
were lashed, and the most prompt and vigorous efforts were
exerted to get out the life-boat to extricate them from 10 ,
perilous a situation ; but the attempt was, after repeated
trials, abandoned as impracticable, the violence of the sell
rendering the boat unmanageable—snapping the strongest
oars like twigs, and thus precluding advance. The vessel, •
however, could not maintain so unsteady and precarious #
position long. In a few minutes she was engulphed in the
waves by one of those periodical breakers which .are known'
by nautical men to be more than commonly disastrous,
when every soul on board perished. The hands of the tin;
fortunate sufferers were, for a moment, seen stretcheu
helplessly and imploringly above the waves; and the env
sciousness of those on shore, that no available assistance
could be extended to them, rendered the scene indescribably
distressing. Three of the crew (four in all) leave been since
found and conveyed to the workhouse, where they will re.
main till they are identified. The coast exhibits a melon''
choly picture of desolation—the shattered remains of yes'
eels being scattered all along it—hulls, rigging, moth
yards-, &c., in miscellaneous disorder and confusion. The
four individuals of this vessel are the only lives, belonging
to this port, as yet known to he lost on this distressing 0'
casion ; which is indeed extraordinary, considering the un'
common severity of the gale, and the extent of the wrecks.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
The long-continued Northerly winds had last week.
nearly emptied the port of Sunderland of loaded ships.;.
but the wind veering round to the Southward, an 110;•
usually large fleet of light colliers, supposed 300 sail, enters':
the port on Monday and Tuesday last. About 12, 5001,„e,
P. of them large and valuable ships, were not permitted -
take the harbour on Tuesday, and some of them, whe„:
almost within the pier, stood out again, in order to ow'
their ballast. The consequence was, that before the rettr
of tide, and when riding at anchor unballasted, they we
overtaken by a most tremendous gale from the ICrl
which drove every one of them ashore. During the nigh;
or in the course of next day, no less than 16 were stranded'
most of them total wrecks, within a mile South of al.
South Pier. A laden sloop, in attempting to harbour, 01
the afternoon of Wednesday, struck on the South Roci°'
went down instantaneously, and the crew, four in number!.
two of whom were father and eon, perished. We bays
heard of no other loss of lives ; but the loss of property
thus wantonly thrown away, and which might have be
prevented at the expence of a few shillings (by bringing ebb
their ballast the preceding tide) is estimated at not mac
less than 20,0001.
The heavy rains which fell on Tuesday and Wednesday
last had the effect of swelling the river Wear to such an
extent, that it ovet flowed its banks to a considerable
depth in several places in this neighbourhood. We have
not heard of any damage worth noticing having been
caused. On the banks of the Tees, however, we under•
stand there has been great destruction. The Tyne, toot
we hear, was very high ; .but of the effects of the flood in
that river we have not received any information.
Our correspondent at Barnardcastle says, that the rivet'
Tees was swollen to an unsual height. About one o'clock
on Wednesday morning the street at, the bridge end WAI
covered with water, which forced its way into severin
dwelling hou.es, from which the inhabitants had to Nl'
into the street for safety, and some of them narrowly
eseaped being drowned. Considerable damage was
done
to the spinning manufactory, and much furniture we!
destroyed. The new bridge that was building at Whorl'.
ton, and was in a forward state, was swept away by hav
flood ; and it is feared that much damage will have been'
done on the low grounds further down the river.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
Lord Chief Justice TINDALL resumed his sittings at
Nisi Prins this morning at Guildhall.
WARDLEy. DICKSON AND OTHERS.
Thu was an action to recover damages from the defen-
dant for a breach of contract, by which the plaintiff al-
leged he bad suffered considerable loss. The defendants,
in the year 1824, were the owners of a vessel called the
Three Brothers, and the plaintiff agreed with them to
tarry a cargo of wheat to Rio Janeiro. It was stipulated
the vessel was to sail on a certain day; however, from some
cause or other the ship Was -delayed for a considerable time
beyond the day appointed. In the mean time a great
change took place in the price of grain, and when the
Wheat arrived at Rio, the market was much glutted, and
the cargo did not realize near so much as it would have
done had no delay taken place. It vas for this delay that
the plaintiff sought to recover damages.
The plaintiff's case was not concluded when our Re-
Porter left;' but from the cross-examination of witnesses it
appears the defence is, thlt the delay was unavoidable,
the vessel hating sprung a leak while in the Dock.
