DAMAGES INFLICTED BY THE SEVERE GALE OF
THIMSDAY NIGHT LAST.
In Albany- piace, Lambeth, a house was blown
e:mn. Fortunately its usual inhabitants were not in
i: at tic time; in consequence of some painting and
rtpaits that wet e going forward, the individuals had
kit the house. The streets in many parts were
t:rev..ed with pieces of chimney-pots and tiles, espe•
horn nid buildings in Lambeth, and in many
pasts a Westminster. The mills near the water-
s de for a considerable time left to the mercy
of the wind, and the mill at Battersea was stopped at
last with some difficulty, the few inhabitants around
it expecting every moment it would be down. The
gages that were going up the river found it impos-
si;;:e to proceed, the wind being completely against
them, and they were obliged to cast anchor. Two
traiges belonging to ,Messrs. Lumley, coal-merchants,
4 Scotland-yard, %etre sunk ; and a barge, laden
with a " score.' rr coals, belonging to Messrs. Dag-
leish, of the same place, was driven by the wind

Iflious mischief to the number of watermen's • boats
that were moored near there. A great number of
i.arges broke from their moorings, and one poor
roan, belonging to Strand-lane, bad his boat di ifted
: a barge belonging to Milford-lane crushed
ti pieces. The persons who let out pleasure-boats
likewise experienced a great loss, and the river
‘.,s stt ea ed with benches and burthens of boats that
i.!d gone from their moorings. The poor men look-
tor their boats, and finding them gone, presented
affecting scene.
A stack of chimneys fell, and broke in the roof of
a house in St. George's-fields, near Bethlehem, but
tortuardely did no injury any person, no one sleep-
'tog in the attic. Below Bridge, a collier broke its
k ible, but with the assistance of a number of persons
tt was soon again made safe. In Chelsea Iteach no
Seats or barges could " live," it being so rough in
what i. called the " Bay of Biscay.' of the Thames.
The violence of the gale has been felt throughout
tit,: kingdom, but more particularly at Liverpool, as
will be seen by the following letter:
LIVERPOOL, DECEMBER 6.
Yesterday afternoon and evening a remarkably
stiong, gale was experienced here, accompanied with
rim, sleet, and hail, which continued with little in-
olmibsion until alter nine o'clock, when it increased
it, force and destruction, bursting against the higher
buildings of the town in sudden and stunning gusts.
The alai m was general. Many of the streets were
enveloped in impenetrable char kness, owing to the
laaips hung blown out; and at a comparatively early
Lour they were totally deserted, save by a few indi-

Several vessels in the Prince's Dock have come to damage

Albion, for New York, bowsprit sprung.
The D..ck is in a very crowded state, owing to the prevailing
winds from the westward; there are several ether minor losses,

The Rockingham, from New York; Ardent, from Cork;
and the Britannia, Neale, from Chester for London, was driven
on shore in the Dec.

At Stockport, a woman and her child were kilted
by the falling of a chimney, and her husband had
both his legs broken. A factory was partly bluwn

down.

At Warrington, the cupola of the church near the

pan of the roof. A windmill in the neighbourhood
was also blown entirely down.
At Manchester many families passed the greater
part of the night by the fire-side, not daring to retire
to rest until the gale had abated. So great was the
alatm felt by the inhabitants of some of the cottages
near the New Bailey, during the storm, that they ap-
plied to be admitted into the lockups until morning.
The destruction of property is very extensive; but
there has been no loss of lire,. though many personal
injuries sustained.
Considerable damage was done in Dublin on Thurs-
day evening by the storm : several chimneys were
blown down, many sky-lights broken, and a number
of houses unroofed. The gas was everywhere extin-
guished by the violence of the wind ; almost every
shop was closed at an early hour ; indeed, this was
rendered necessary by the great difficulty of keeping
in the lights—gas-lamps, candles, all were estin
guished. It was a perfect hurricane, unexampled in
the memory or the oldest inhabitant of Dublin. It

unabated fury for three hours.

EAST INDIES.—GENERAL ORDERS.
Meerut, May 22, 1822..
Major-General HARDTMAN has seldom derived greater seas-
faction from any inspection of European tioops, than he has re-
ceived in the course of his inspection of his Majesty's 11th Light
Dragoons, under the temporary command of Major Seine, Jed
that of the 14th Regiment of Foot, under the command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Tow ; it appearing that only two corporal
punishments had been inflicted in the former Regiment, and three
in the latter, during the last seven months, and without the ce-
istence of one single complaint or grievance in either of them,
both maintaining the highest state of discipline and regularity in
quarters. Such Regiments are, no doubt, beyond common
praise, and far above that of the Major-General; for behaviour
so exemplary in soldiers is more rare than perfection in field
movements; and when both are conspicuous, as in the II th
Light Dragoons, and the 14th Regiment of Font, they may both
be fairly traced to the system of laudable forbearance in Officers
like Colonels WATSON and SLEIGH, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Tun, long accustomed to command and know the just value of
British Troops, when employed in real service.
NEW SOUTH WALES.—GENERA L ORDERS.
Sydney, March 3, 1822.
The Commanderof the Forces has to express the high gratifi-
cation and approbation of the very clean, uniforn, and soldier-
like appearance of the 48th Regiment of Foot, at the inspection
of that Corps this day in Hyde Park. The different movements,
formations, and changes of position, were well and accurately
executed. The advance in line was admirable, and the firings
were close, regular, and well kept up.
The Commander of the Forces cannot too highly commend
the seal and pleasing assiduity of Colonel Easxnee, C. B. in sus-
taining the discipline of the fine Corps that has the good fortune
to be commanded by him. Major-General MACQUARIE accord-
ingly requests that he will accept for himself, and convey to the
Officers and Soldiers under his command, the best congratula-
tions, for their steady discipline in the field, and orderly conduct
in their quarters.
The Major-General will, to-morrow, at eleven o'clock in the
forenoon, inspect the Books of the 48th Regiment of Foot, at
the Officers' Mess-room, and will afterwards proceed to inspect
the Bet racks and Hospitals of that Corps.
By Command of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces.
