(From the Manchester Guardian.)

We have received, from a friend at Hull, intelligence of a tre.
mendous hurricane on Monday afternoon and Tuesday in last week,
which seems to have been more violent and of greater duration
than any experienced in the German Ocean for the last twenty
years. We give the following from our correspondent's letter:—
" The Transit, Himburgh steamer, arrived at Hull on Sunday
morning I ,st, after enduring one of the heaviest gales perhaps ever
experienced, having been obliged to throw overboard all the cattle
she was bringing to Hull, 313 in number. The hurricane conti-
nued from Monday afternoon to Tuesday; but the gale was of much
longer duration. It also appears that the Transit, having proceeded
so sea for the second time, the weather became so tempestuous that
the ship was obliged to face the storm, there being on this occa-
sion no possibility of returning. I cannot, however, do better than
send you a copy of the letter transmitted home by the very intel-
ligent engineer of this steamer :

" Cuxhaven, Oct 2'2, 1845.

" Dear is with feelii:gs of thankfulness I am enabled to
send you a line to ease the suspense that I know you will be in
wish us being so late. I scarcely thought I should ever see you
again ; but, thank God ! we are all safe and well. But, oh !
we have passed through an ordeal indeed. Never did any one
imagine there could be such a sea running. When we left here on
Friday we had a very heavy gale and had to bear up on Saturday
night, and got coaled on Sunday night; and as the weather was
more moderate, we proceeded to sea on Monday forenoon ; then is
the afternoon came oil the hurricane, such as has not been known
here for above twenty years. We kept her head to the sea, as
it was impossible to turn back ; but when the storm-sail
gave way, then commenced the work of destruction. The
poor beasts we had on board (thirty-six in number) we
were obliged to throw overboard to save ourselves; and
fortunate we were in accomplishing this work when we did,
or none would have been left to tell the tale. The poor
animals seemed to have a foretaste of what we were obliged to do.
Some went away like lambs to the slaughter, with a pitiful look as
they went over the side; others resisted with all their might,
clinging to us till the following sea smothered the ship and all. We
passed a fearful night. We lost our best boat, and everything off
the deck. We could not tell where we were, but the following day
we were obliged to run, when fortunately, God be thanked, we
found the island. H♦d we got near the lee shore, we could not
have escaped, the sea running so high that we could not see the
length of the ship. There is a fearful number of wrecks even in
the river. Cuxhaven is nearly washed away.—Yours afft c..
tionately, "

Such is the description given cf this most destructive gale, the
results of which may be anticipated. Losses, perhaps the most
numerous for a long period, may be certainly looked for. The
Queen of Scotland steamer, from liamburgh, arrived here on the
23d inst., having thrown 18 beasts overboard. The Margaret,
Archimedean screw steamer, which left Namburgh on the 9th
init., has not been heard of. It is feared that unless she has suc-
eeded in making the coast of Norway she has foundered.

" THE ROYAL GEORGE.—On Sunday last Mr. Wit-
Wm Gill, one of the last, if not the last, of the survivors of
the crew of the Rival Gorge, died, aged 83, at his residence,
Royston-street, St. John's-wood. The deceased escaped out
of a port-hole, and leaped off the vesAel as it was ping down.
Being an excellent swimmer he got clear of the eddy. and.
was picked up by H.M.S. Ruby, 64, and was taken to Gi-
bralta, where, and in other places. he served his country
The deceased has left a widow, aged 75. or 78. The pension
does nut; ve believe, extend to the widow.
SIR ROBERT PEEL.—We regret to state that the
,Prernier is suffering from an attack of .gout in the feet, which pre-
-vented the Right Hon. Baronet being present at the opcning of the
new hall and library, Lincoln's Inn, by her Majesty on Thuriday.
The answer to inquiries in Whitehall-gardens was, that tStr liob9rt
was better.
