At Penzance, the damage done to the harbour is
very considerable. Porthaven Harbour, in Mount's Bay,
has sustained but little damage, from the effect of the
new Pier, which, though not finished• has been found a

for shipping when completed. Marazion, Newlyn, and
Monshole, the other ports, have suffered a good deal in
shipping, but no lives lost.
Some idea may be formed of the violence of the late
wind, when it is stated that the Regulator, Rafter coach, was blown
over twice between Bristol and Salisbury,
