GALES O,N THE COAST OE SCOTLAND.

Avg, Nov. 22.—Since Friday afternnrm we have had a cond.
nuance iW the most.boiaderous weather ever experienced on this
mast, and which has been productive of very serious 10,ses bob of
lives and property, as the following derails will sittse :
The south sea-wall of our !whom, we are cdricernod to state,
suffered a very serious injury on Friday night, a great bremith of it
having beet, swept into the bed of the river; and it is feared that it
will be impossible to repair it during the hoisteroussetloll of winter,
so that it is probable it may remain as it i s till spring.

The brig Greenfield, of Irvine (in haiku), came to anchor in
Trtion bay, about two o'clock on rriday afternoon, but the wlud
blowing so hard, she was driven from her moorings and forced upon
the rocks about a mile to the N.H. of Triton, and soon after be.
came a total wreck. The crew erected their escape on shore before
sl,e broke up; but two soldiers belonging to the 2tnit Foot, pas-en-
ters, who had got upon the nt4ilnattst for safety, were drowned
when it went overboard.

Siiturday forenoon, a smack (the Jean of Brodick) without any
per.un on board, went ashore near the same place as the brig Green-
field . It is feared she. will not be got off without ‘usiainiog much
damage, hoold the weather continue as unsettled a: it is at present.
'II( Jean broke from her mooring,: on the other side of the Frith,
while the Master and crew were ashore.

The Ailsa Craig steam-packet, put into Trnon on Saturday, in
great distress, her engines unsetwiceabk•, with tour feet of water in
her hold.

The brig Catherine. of Greenock, 11' ALPINE, Master, with oats
and butter, was put ashore in Tronn Lay on Saturday morning,
with the loss of some spars, &c. The vessel is now 30 much da-
maged that the water ebbs and flows in her with the tide.
The sloop Bee. of Irvine, went ashore on the night of rri.lny, cr
Saturday morning, between Irvioe and Saltconts. It is hoped she
will be got off without sustaining much damage.

GUILD liA IL.

Thomas Oakes, a young man, an articled servant with Mr. Gal-
loway, the engineer, was brought -before Mr. Alderman ANILIFY
for re examination, under the following circumstances :—About
four moans since the prisoner absconded, and was not again beard
of till a few weeks ago, when be presented hint-ell to Mr. Gal-
loway, and upon aolidting forgiveness, he wi.; again taken into Mr.
entploy.OnSunday se'nnight he paid a visit to sonic acquaintance
in Newgate; and, on quitting the prison, confessed to one of the
turnkeys that he bad beep invited by sonic companions, wl:om he
used to meet at a public-hou=e, to assist them in robbing his mas-
ter's premises ; and that the same fellows had agit ttrd the same
plan four months ago; and it was to break tlie connection with
them he had abstorded two months. This information was given
to one of the Marsbalmen, who put Mr. Gallaway upon his guard.
The prisoner returned to his work on Tuesday la‘t, and making no
voluntary personal communication upon the subject of the intetaled
robbery, up to ThursJ.y mooing, ,sir. Galloway then, by the
advice of Mr. 'Lamer, called hint into the counting-house, and
proceeded to question hint very closely, when he admitted all he
stated at Newgate, but refused to give up the names of the gang,
and, upon his own confession, being connected with them, he was
taken into cus:otly.

He was, on Sunray, closetted for some time with Mr. Gal-
loway, but he still obstinately refused to give any further informa-
tion, and having received a feeling admonition, both from Mr. G.
and the Alderman, was at length set at large.
A fruit-salesman, in Fleet-market, appeared with his Solicitor,
to answer the complaint of a neighbour, for detaining the clothes
of his daughter, when', i: was alleged, lie had seduced—(&v the Seal
of Friday las*
The defendant hid taken care to send the property home the
previous night, so that there was now no longer a question for the
Alderman to decide ; but he nevertheless expressed a wish to hear
the defendant's statement, but he said he would leave it all to his
Solicitor; and the Solicitor, instead of entering into any exculpatory
explanations, wished to have the girl herself ex-imined, broadly as-
serting that she had absented herself before. This was positively
contradicted by the faller.
The Alderman was averse to this course of proceeding, as the girl
was not ex anined on oath, and the feelings of the unfortunate pa-
reuts •traiet to be wound op to the highest pitch of anguish._ __

A;ter st:me questions had been pia, at the suggestion of Mr.
Payne, the Clerk, to see if the defendant could net be brought
within the reach of the Act for protecting iron' seduction young
females, in expectation or possession of pi uperty, or charged with an
Lssault upon a prison, which proved truitkss, the defendant was
discharged.
