TRVIENDOUS GALE.

On Sunday evening there was a strong gale from S.E. and in the
night it came on a tremendous hurricane, veering from S.K. to
with heavy rain. A number of homeward bound chip. were sr anchor
in the Sound at the time, and we regret to say the damage dt,y
suffered is consideratile. The following is a list of the wrecks
Brig Gower, of Pwlhely, E. Timothy, from Buenos /Ivrea for r.
don, with hides, skins, horns, and ostrich feathers; on Aron: at
DevU's point, and a complete wreck. Ne.aly the whole of the cargo
saved.

Brig Charity, of Dartmouth, Chudleigb, from Newfoundland, fil'
London, with oil andskins ; on shore, at Drake's Isla iti, and gate to
pieces. Very little of the cargo saved.
Brig Emulous, of Yarmouth, .1. Doughty, from I.S. rp col for Lynn,
with salt, on shore at Drake's Island, aod is nearly gone to pieces.
Cargo washed away.
Brig Experiment, of and for Christianssnd, Chapin, in ballast. On
shore in Grand Bay, and entirely to pieces
The quantity of oil washed from the Charity was so great, that tinder
Mount Wise and at Mutton Cove it covered the • urfcce of the water to
the height of several inches, and produced a sensible calm its the undu-
lation of the waves. At the above-mentioned places great quanti:ica its
its damaged state, were collect d by the poor in buckets, and sts6e-
quently sold to the curries and o.bers of Devonyort.
All the aews were saved, We have however to record the melon.
choly dead' of Mr. George Law, lute of his Makrsty's ship Ariadn
recently paid off, and son of Mr. Law, landkod of the Canteen,
Drake's Island. He was engaged among: the rocks at the island, in en •
deavouring to save the cargoes of the wrecks, anti was struck by a wave
and washed oft: He stroggled for a long time in the water, and every
effort was made to Wive him but in vain ; he was finally obliged to give
way to the force of the waves, and was drowned. The deceased had a
few days before written to his wife and family at Taro.to-lt, to join him
at this port, and they must now be on their way to meet him.
The Sir Francis Drake steam packet was unfortunately driven by
areas of weather into Daunouth Harbour on Monday. She has only
sustained a trifling injury, and will be ready to resume her duty in the
4arly part of next week.
The cffeets of the gale have been severely felt all along the coast.
