THE LATE. GALES.

EDINBURGH, OCT. 12.—Sunday night, there sprung
up the heaviest gale from the Eastward, that has been
experienced here for some years past, 'and it still con-
tinues with little abatement. The lifeboat, stationed
at Newhaven, was yesterday forenoon sent over land to
,
Granton Point, with twelve fishermen, to the assistance
of a foreign brig in distress. She left the roads with-
out a pilot : and was very soon cast upon a rock. Her
condition appeared for some time most desperately pe-
rilous, especially al the weather did not allow of any
succour being received from the life-boat. The brig
had thrown out her. anchor to windward, and by its
hold was enabled to get clear. She was then seen at
strained cable, rolling and pitching in the most fearful
manner, and her deck every minute washed with the
waves; in a few minutes she parted cable, and was seen
tossing about at some distance; her fate is unknolwn.
—Great anxiety is felt respecting the Matchless smack,
which left London on Saturday or Stinday, as she was
reported aground off Dunbar yesterday morning, and
nearly a wreck ; but since no express has been received
by the managers at Leith, it is hoped she has got off,
though it can scarcely be supposed without some serious
damage. The Eagle wad yesterday in some danger off
Cramond, but was brought up safely to her moorings.
The Stirling steam-boat sailed yesterday, and was last
night descried in extreme danger on the coast of Fife ;
the main hope was, that"she would get into Alba. The
wind continues boisterous, and we expect to hear of
many losses. A Revenue cutter, arrived at Leith yes-
terday, reports that she passed several wrecks.
Among the ravaget committed by the severe storm of yesterday
morning, was the deitruction atone of the finest old trees in the
nradows whose trunk was torn up by the roots, and split into a
number Of pieces, as if it bad been struck by lightning. We ob-
serve the fruit-trees in many gardens in this neighbourhood have
shared a similar fate ; and in this quarter, chimney-cans, and slates,
and pieces of lime, torn from the roofs and walls of the houses lie
scattered in all directions.
LAM. Ineauscienez.--Tuesdity Afternoon.—The foreign vessel,
we understand, has passed op the Forth, and is safely moored iii
smooth water. The Matchless was to have sailed &um London on
Friday ; but it is hoped that she has been detained in the Thames.
The vessel on shore yesterday. off Dunbar, was no smack, but a
small coasting packet. The Walter Scott, Pilot, Czar, and Eagle,
are securely moored in Burntisland roads. We Lear that the Stir-
ling steamboat is safe at Allot.'
Yesterday, no boat was able to make the passage, and even at
Queenaferry it was considered perilous to attempt crossing. His
Majesty's sloop Clio rode with her top-gallant masts struck—a
number of vessels took shelter under the lee of Inchkeith, and others
slipped cable and ran westward beyond Qpeensferry. One foreign 1
brig drove, and at one time it was apprehended that she would go
ashore near Cramond: The life-boat was launched, but before this
was effected a Newhaven fishing-boat, with twelve venturous men,
put off to render the brig assistance, and they succeeded in carrying
her up the Frith. The sea brae with frightful violence on the pier
at Newhaven; and the light-house at its extremity was battered
down by the waves. About five o'clock in the afternoon, a ship,
supposed to be the Isabella, Simpson,from Jamaica, came to anchor
under the lee of Inchkeith, and is stated to have snapped her cable.
A great number of vessels have taken refuge in the Frith.
The smack Pilot, which sailed from Leith for London on Friday,
put back to the roads on Saturday, with damage, and has gone into
Burntisland harbour to repair. Off St. Abb's Head she experienced
a tremendous gale from the S. S. g. which carried away her main-
sail, foresail, and stove in her starboard bow. At one time it blew
so hard, that fears were entertained for the safety of the vessel. The
Walter Scott milled in company, but has not, we believe, put back.
The number of wrecks (principally among coasters and colliers)
on Lloyd's Books yesterday. was nearly as numerous as the day
before. The following is a list, viz.—The Jane, front Liverpool,
got up to the quay in a sinking state, with her cargo shifted—her
deck load (cotton and wool) much damaged. The Hero, from
Waterford to Livetpool,sunk on Dublin Bar. The Resolution and
the Martha, of Scarborough; and Jane, of Sunderland, are on shore
near Hartlepool. The Neptune. from Petersburgh to Hull; the Nep-
tune, Petrie, from ditto to London; Friends, of London (supposed
from the Baltic), Enigheden Brusen, bound to Lyon; Leveret ;
William; Mary, of Landow, Brown; and James, of Limekilns,
from Archangel, are all on shore in the Tees. The Harmony.
Vock ; Louisa, Kuyper ; and Tay, of Dundee, are on shore near
Scarborough—the two latter sunk. .The Fame, Berwick, is on
shore in Bally Castle Bay. The Nancy, Potter; and two other
brigs (names unknown), are on shore near Cleethorp. The George
and Elizabeth, Rennison; is on shore in Filey Bay.
The Mercurius, )urges, front Rostock to London, was lost on
the Island of Monen, on the 27th Olt. Crew saved.
The Vrouw Foleke, Steenblock, front Naskow to Hull, bas put
into Delfzyl leaky, and must discharge to repair. . •

Roma, Sam 27.—After m=rsonths and twelve days,

the body was found of the unfortunate Miss BATHURST,
whose lamentable death was related in all the journals
of Europe in the month of March last. Yesterday
morning about eight o'clock, two carmen passing over
the bridge Melvino, perceived a body which had just
been thrown on the bank by the waters. The authorities
were immediately apprised of the circumstance; thou-
sands ran to see the body, and recognized the unfortu-
nate Lady, not so much by the countenance as by the
dies, and jewels. It would seem that she was for a long
time covered by the sand, by which means she.was pre-
served, as otherwise she would have been exposed to the
voracity of the ashes, with which the Tiber abounds.
The flesh remained untouched. The face preserved its
fulness, but the contact of the atmosphere very rapidly
produced decomposition. When the bonnet, which was
still secured under the chin, was removed, the hair
came with it. The surgeons were directed to remove
the sand and dirt from the body. The family of this
interesting young person will experience•at least some
consolation in being able to pay the last honours to an
object who was so tenderly beloved. The Minister of
Hanover and the Charge d'Affaires of France have taken
charge of the precious remains. A sum of 1,200 francs
has been promised to those who made the discovery
