LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

On Monday morning., at half-past four o'clock, a stack of
chimneys fell on the roof of the house of Mr. ltouert M'Clel-
land, situated at No: 1, Richmond-row, carrying destruction
into the bedrooms ;ind other parts of the house. Fortunately
all the inmates had taken shelter in a lower room, and were
thus saved from destruction. . .

'rhe Observatory at the Mount was nearly wholly unroofed
during the late hurricane; but we belive the valuable in-
struments it contained escaped without any serious damage.
Twenty.eight trees were thrown down or broken in the
gardens, . many of considerable growth; and .the house in
this elevated spot suffered considerably. • .

WRECK OF THE LOCKWOODS.—Last evening the bodies of
five men, eight women, and ten children were brought from
the wreckl of the •Lockwoods, lost on the North Bank. They
were landed from. Hoylake fishing-boat, and were immedi-
ately conveyed to the Workhouse, there to await the inqui-
sition of a coroner's jury. The children are from two to
twelve years of age. We understand that a steamer has
proceeded to bring up the remaining bodies of the sufferers
from the Lockwoods and Pennsylvania. .

THE ISLE OF MAN.—We have no news from this place,
excepting that great damage is done throughout the island
by the gale on Monday morning, and two large ships, almost
dismasted, pasted by. the southward of the island on that day.
The New York packets Pennsylvania and St. Andrew are total
wrecks.

The Victoria steam tug has'made every exertion to save as many
as possible of the seamen and passengers from the wreks. She
succeeded In saving a considerable number from the Lockwoods
and St. Andrew, but in the latter vessel from 8U to 100 souls were
left on Tuesday night.
The following is the best account we have been able to collect of
the number of persons saved by the steam-tug boats :
On Tuesday, the Bth, from the St. Andrew, 23 ; foom the Lock-
woods, 22.
On Wednesday, from the Pennsylvania, 26; from the Lock-
woods, 22. This makes a total of 104 saved by the steam-tug
boats from the three ships. Between forty and fifty persons arc
said to have perished in the Lockwoods.
The Harvest Home, for St. Thomas, is on shove near Liverpool.
Two of the crew landed ; the rest in the rigging ; expect to be
saved ; the cargo is washing ashore.
The captain and about fifty of the crew and passengers of the
Lockwoods are saved.

The Monkey, from Gibralter, is on shore near Formby. Three
peasons drowned.
The Vernon, for GI iszow, is on shore near Ulverston.
The Tiger, hound to Glasgow, is on shore near Ravenglass.
Tun Sine SAINT ANDREW.—This ship (of which several unau-
thenticated accounts have appeared) left on Saturday at 2, p.m. ;
at 5 a smart breeze sprung up ; at 12 a severe gale, which increased
to a perfect hurricane by 2 o'clock. At this time the sails were
literally torn into ribbons; these Fails were quite new, and never
before bent. One of the hands was dashed from the yard-arm on
the deck ; he was severely injured, hut was alive yesterday. At
that moment Captain Thompson ordered the men aloft. but they,
seeing death staring them in the face. refused. After the loss of
her sails, the ship became unmanreable. and in this condition she
remained until the forenoon on 'Monday, when an attempt was
made to relieve her by cutting away the upper parts of her masts.
She was then rigged with a mi?en-sail and a foresail; early on
Tuesday morning, in this crippled state, she was steering for Liver-
pool. About half-past 10, a.m., she struck on the limbo Sands.
with both anchors down, the sea beating heavily. The life-boats
were sent oft to extricate the passengers. who W eve conveyed on
board the steam-vessel Victoria, and thus providenti,lly steed:
The steady and admirable conduct and presence of mind of Cap-
tain Thompson, during the whole of this trying occasion, is be-
yond all praise. As soon as the ship had staid:. almost the first
thing he did Was to stave in all the spirit e asks; indeed, every
bottle containing wine or spirits was emptied or destroyed, he
being apprehensive of the consequences to the crew. The fore-
going remarks embody the substance of a verbal communication,
made to us by one of the passengers who was in the ship at the
time. . -
