DESTRUCTIVE EFFEC rs OF THE GALE •
YESTERDAY MORNING.

HuU Packet Office, Tuesday Morning, Bight &Clock.
We regret to state, that the effects of the ga'e yester-
day mot ning have been of the most disastrous character,
is regards the destruction of property. By this morn-
ing's post we have received a letter from a Gentleman
at Filey, which we lay before our Readers:
" Nay, December 1.
"Flom the sudden change of the wind this morning
from W.N.W. to E.N.E. it blowing a tremendous gale,
the ships upon the toast bad not warning nor time to
get , if the Land.
" By day-light there were several vessels off the bay,
with signals of distress flying. it was impossible for any
bolt to► face the sea, although an hour before the crews
of the fishing boats, 9.5 in number, had contemplated'
going oot to fish—most providentially however it was,
they did not. The life-boat was promptly prepared and
manned ; the fishermen and men on the Preventive Sta.
tion osesi their most strenuous efforts to aid the life-boat
establishment. and it affords us the most heartfelt and
gratifying pleasure to find, that out of twenty-five ships
sod one sloop which came on shore, not a single if.
has been lost. It is impossible to do justice to the willing
and efficient services of those in aid of the life-boat.
There we►e several families saved, and from oae vessel
some 'defiers. There ire five ships on shore at Scar-
h.

Chair.
The CriAtemas informed the Meeting that the pre.
tent was a Special Meeting, called for the purpose of
raining the sanction of the Proprietors to a plan for
ming a new entrance to the London Docks at Shad-
ell. In pursuance of resolutions, passed in January
4.a Rill had been obtained, authorising the Directors
raise an additional capital, in order that the objects
templated might be carried into effect. •
The SsearrAaT read the Resolutions referred to.
The Report of the Directors to the present Meeting
ad reference to obtainment of the said Bill, which
othorised the taking of 300,0001. The Directors felt
anfident of the expediency of the new cut, and the
AePott expressed the intentions of the Directors that

!l'e'T mom shcluld be used.
The CHAIRMAN said it was Intended, if the Court of
Proprietors thought proper, to act up totbe Resolutions
)(January, to propose resolutions, adopting the Report
the Directors, and authorising them to proceed with
be work.
A Pinworm* desired to know bow money was to
it farad to meet the extraordinary expenditure?
Tim CIIIAIIIIAN said the new entrance was content-
'when tne Docks were 6nt built. By the new
th. Directors had two objects in view—an accession
business and a prevention of loss. He thought both.
bo attained by the new cut, f'r it was notorious
at they lost many ships from the want of an entrance
°their docks in Shadwell. It was highly necessary for
hem now to do all they could to increase business.
Mr. B.IILET thought that instead of voting for further
lay, be was rather surprised the cut bad not bear
lore made. Could the Directors state uhether the,
-filtrated expense of 150,0001. would or would not be
iceeded ?
The CH AIRMAN said they could bare the work effected
9,0001. less than the estimate.
Ultirgately the report and the resolutions proposed
7dle-Court of Directors were adopted, and the Meet—
g separated.
