GALES ON THE COAST OF IRELAND.

Dorman' Esse, Dec. 17.—0 n Thursday and Fri-•
day, we had a gale from S. E. to S., the heavies: fc:t
here fur some years----yesterday morning it became a
hurricane. The seas, at the pier of Dunmore, were
running tremendously high, hut were effertually re-
sisted by the finished part of that work. From the
long continuance and severity of the storm, the head
of the rough mole is levelled down to high water
mark. Some machinery has been carried away,
machinery has been carried away, and the railways
much cut np by the fall of the heavy spray. Two or
three weeks of favourable weather will be isecus.ar),
to reinstate the entire.--The packets rode out the gale
in safety, and are sailing, as usual. A sloop Lulea
with coals came in during the storm.
Durra:aavast, Dec. 16.—This day Las presented a
dismal spectacle, after the dreadful storm of last stigla .
• .
en this coast. At five geoleek yestsrlayrafjgrenes, a
Dungarvan sepooner, Pierce Kerwin, waster, with the
cutup John 41 Alary, of this port, James Fitzgerald,
master, came io anchor off Ballyrily, in this harbour.
In the course of the night they parted from their an-
chors, wheita,tbe schooner went down off the house of
Ballinac:nteir, and all hands perished. The sloop
John and Mary is on the Bar, and it is feared will go
to pieces; 4e had one of her crew washed overboard
at sea. 'The *loop friends, 'Jf Marytoort, master's Larne
unknown, was driven on the Bar in the night, when
the crew, having takeu to their boat, were al! drowned.
IThe body creone of the crew, named Dail Davis, I.as
been found under the Church-yard of &Mg:ITT:III.
This morning a ship is on her beam-ends, without a
soul on board, close to Delvick Head ; and a sloop
went down within a few yards of her.
A vessel w seen off Howth early on Friday, stand-
ing in for the Bay of Dublin, but beinz too soon for
the tide, and‘not able to make Dunleary.stoc.l off again,
and at shout half Hood, bore up for Nowt!. ; she was
unable however to clear the east end of Ireland's Eye,
where she went on shore about half-past four, and in the
course of a short time, went to pieces. Great exertions
were made by .I;tnies Richards, (Jarrett at,d
others, in one of the Howth wherries (the Star,) to •
save the crew, but, in consequence of the bee 7y swell,
they succeeded in saving only two out of emelt hawk.
Mr. Browne, the larrboor-master, and Mr. *Dowell,
of the Hotel, then proceeded to Ireland's Eye in the
harbour-master's boat; but we regret to add, that weir •
exertions to sere the remainder of the crew were nut
attended witt success. Those gentlemen were out the
entire night. Mr. Richard's wherry having returned to
the island of low water on Saturday, brought them, and
Ithe boat's crew, in safety to the main land, having
suffered no injury but that arising from being in each
an exposed situation, for upward* of fourteen honts•
without slacker or refreshment of any kind. It was as-
certained that the Teasel lost was the Rhoda ; two ves-
sels, similarly situated, mad* the harborer with apparent
ease about does o'clock—one a large brig, the Stuantaa,
of London.

Kinsale, Dec. 13, I*2l►.
Min Sta—We beg to inform you that this day, at 7
o'clock, A. M. the brig Resolution, of London, Junta
meany, Master, bound from Newfoundland to Liverpool,
with fish, &.c. was driven on a ledge of rocks outside the
entrance into fltillen's Ray, east side of the Head. It
was then nearly low water, blowing a tremendous gale
S. S. K. attended with a heavy sea constantly breaking
over her ; several attempts were made by •Lhautenant
Evanson, R. N. aided by some of the gentlemen of that
neighbourhood, to rears the vessel ; but, owing to the
very heavy surf, it was impracticable ; the crew were
then observed to ascend the rigging, where they
remained in the momentary expectation of her going to
pieces.
At ahmit ten oclock another host was manned he
Mr. Herald Nyhan, with four of the water-pi:ad and
three countrymen, who, after repeated exertions, sm.-
ceetled in taking off three of the crew, but were colonel
by the extreme fatigue they suffered, to abandon the rest
and return.

The boat was again manned the third time, tinder the
directions of Mr. B. I). Gibbons, who went in her, and
who was so fortunate to save the rest with the exzeption
of the Mate, who attempted to get ashore rsit:i the it•liat-
ance of some spars, which he had lashed toszether ; but
be unfortunately perished. The last boat had scarcely
readied the beach, when the vessel went totally to pieces
and scarce a vestige of her remained.
The life-boat being here, an attempt was made to get
her round to the head ; but from the desperate state of
the weather it was round impracticable, which has
now determined me to keep her in,frittire at the head.
Nearly at the same time, the sloop, " John and Marv"
from Cork for Falmouth, laden with butter, oats, Sic.
was driven on shore at the west side of the Head. The
crew was saved with motel' diffimilty. We expect that
the butter, with the vessel and materials, may also be
saved, should the weather Ire moderate.

I give von this rough outline, being on the spot, and
remain as usual Yours truly,
O. H. G...0N..
