THE WEATHER.

(From the Newry Telegraph )

WRECK OP THE JOHN STAMP INotamAN—FURTHER PAR-
TICULARS —On Saturday night last, the 17th, blowing a strong
S.E., gale, the fated ship, made the li,ght from the Isle of than,
and immediately after the last of the topsails was blown away.
A trysail was set, but went in ribands—a staysail shared the
same fate; a small sail was then set abaft to keep her head from
falling off too much. At one o'clock, a.m., the captain went
below to look at his chart, and stated to the mate they had just
.25 Miles drift, and that they should go on shore in Dundrum
Bay, unless sail could be made. But the topsails were split in
pieces, the Staysails torn from the bolt ropes, the topsails gone,
and the courses alone left. .Toget down the tacks was the next
'endeavour;" but the crew, from exhaustion at the pumps, to
which theytwere lashed for some time, were incapable of board-
ing ate tacks, eveti.with the aid of the windlass; they could do
nothing but haulaft the reels, while the vessel's head lay to the
S.W. Meantime the leak was gaining on the devoted ship, and
at daylight there was six feet water in the hold. The lead told
them they were in seventeen fathom water, and, from the sound-
irig, they knew they were on a dangerous lee-shore; . but the
morning was very misty, and they could see no land till near
nine o'clock, when breakers were observed close undertheir
tee, and in a few minutes the vessel struck on Ballymartin
Point. At thislimethe captain and crew aud. two passengers
had.no hope of saving their lives; but, as the sea was heavy to
the deck; they took refuge in_lhe cabin. In a.short time, how-
ever, they were driven, from ibis place of refuge on deck, all
but a gentleman passenger, a Mr. Wetherall,. Veterinary Sur-
geon, a native of Birmingham. This gentleman had been sick
from the time he came on board, and bad been confined to his
bed: -he was moved by the captain into the after state-bed cabin,
as a more'safe place. The captain, also, wished to bring him
on deck, but he would not go, being unable to endure the cold
and wet; and, when the crew were forced from the deck to the
rigging, he perbdied in his bed. The other passenger, Mr. Seri-
Yen to son of Counsellor Scriven Dublin, whose grandfather,
Counsellor Scriven, died some ,tiine agoin Dublin,)bad a strong
pesemptive hope that he should save himself b swiming, At
Bi)mbav,.the Richard -Walker, Indiaman, had been m
wrecked,.
and he then saved himself by swimming—and he told the•mate

striking. The once good ship is literally broken into fragments,
and the biy is furzed with the cotton washed up from broken
bales.

EFFECTS OF THE LATE. SlORM.—Several pieces of wreck
have been taken into . Cove. by the coast-guard within the last
three days; ,and on Tuesday part of the stein ()fa vessel, marked
"John Harvey," was washed on the coast. The vessel whose
wreck at Ardmore, with the loss of her crew, we-mentioned on
Tuesday,. was, the. Sir Frances BU; tun. The master's name
was Lindsay. There were seen on the mast seventeen men and
one woman, all of whom perished, She was bound. for Demerara,
and was. out three days from. Liverpool. There has been but
little cargo, which was very valuable,- washed ashore as yet.
but there is a large quantity of valuable machinery left in shoal
water, which it is hoped may be
,saved, The vessel and cargo
are the property of Duncan Gilds,. Esq., of Liverpool. What
led to the conclusiOn of our. correspondent that the vessel lost,'
was the Sir Hov and Douglas, was probably the thcumstance of
Ixo boats being washed ashore, marked with that name. These
boats, however, had been transferred, to the• Sir Frances Burton
from the Sir Howard Douglas. The .schooner ashore near
Capel 'slat,' is the John and Eliza, of Beanmaris. The master's
name was Parry.. She was hound form Carnaryon to London,
with a cargo consisting of slates and hides. It is hoped she'
will be cot into Youghal, but part of the cargo must be sacrifi-
ced. The crew, have not perished, as we supposed. 'With the
exception of a cabin boy carried off by a sea, they are all safe.
On Thursday and Friday.two vessels were wrecked in Dungar-
van bay,. one life lost.

_ .
Three persons—a father whose name was Keefe, his wife and
their son—perished in a snow-storm on Wednesday_ They
lived in a miserable hut, between Mr. Hudson's mourtain and
Lord Middleton's, and when the storm came on,. one of the
sons left the but and went to :he house of a man named Duno-
yan, about twenty perches distant. The others were to have
followed, but not
.arriving, he supposed them to have gone to
the house of a man named;Keily, in a different direction. and
on Saturday, when the weather- cleared, le went out there to
see after them,- At Keily's, ,however, they had not been ; so
he proceeded to their own house, and there, buried in the snow,
and standing upright, he found father, mother, and brother—a
hand of the latter graiped in one of each of the former—dead,
the face, hands, and ears of the child eaten by a dog.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK ANI) Loss of FOURTEEN LIVES.
—On the night of the 10th instant, the barque, Nlary, of Lon-
don, on her passage from Demerara, in the West IndieS, to
London, laden with sugar and molasses, sprting a leak under
the main chains, between the Western Islands and Cape Clear,
and within ISO miles of the main land. Her crew which con-
sisted of the Captain, ICl`Pherson, 'a native of Edinburgh, and
eighteen hands. worked unceasingly at the ptimps•fortive days,
but at the expiration of that time, worn out with fatigue, they
were obliged to give up, when she filled and went down. Piv-e
of the hands were able to get into the small boat, -lint all the
,
rest, including the captain. met a watery grave. Thelive were
shortly after pieled up by the brig John of Cork, which vessel
brought them • safely into the Cove of Cork on Saturday last. '
These poor fellois have since come on to this clic, where they
are in the greatest distress, to await the arrival of a vessel they
expect shortly in port to take them to London. • The Mari, Was
750 tons burthen, and was jointly owned by Mesiira.'William

(From the Dublin. Erening Main

There was a spring tide on Saturday morning, accompanied
by a tremendous gale of .wind from the east. Wnilst.the tide
was full on Saturday and yesterday the carriaL:es were prevented
running beyond the Rock, as the sea had flown in over the
parapet wall, which was completely level in many place, so that
a boat would have been more applicable to a p,!rtiun of the line
than the steam carriages.

The injury done to the rail-road, we are happy to soy, is not of
any serious character, -a no we hope when the new sea walls are
completed, to see this splendid national work going on in inter-
rupted prosperity. . •
The roads and low gronnds in the different outlets are com-
pletely inundated, ant on yesterday at three o'clock, as we
passed on to Kingstown, the flood in the Dodder was terrific,
and some alarm was felt with regard to the railroad works over
it.
