THURSDAY MORNING. DEC. 90.


We think our readers must feel deep
interest ia the effects OF the late gale, which
has proved so disastrous to the navigation,
from this port, and elsewhere. We have
endeavorpd 10 get a complete list of all
the vessels from this state, which suffered
in the least, and likewise the names Of
persons lost. Some additional particulars
may be found on the inside Of this paper.

GA violent gale OF wind and rain, accom-
panied with snow, commenced al this place
on sunday morning, and has continued with
unabated fury up to the time of my writing.
The destruction Of vessel, and property on
the back OF Cape Cod exceeds that of any
former gale for many years. Below give
you list as far as has come to my knowl-
ledge;-
"The brig RiJeout, Purringion, from
Ra,h for Malanzas, came into the outer
breakers on the back Of the Cape, about
2 O'Clock this afternoon, immediately cap
sized. and all on board perlshed. She was
new brig, on her first voyage. Brig Aus
tin, Volsloa, of and from Batn for Matan-
zas. came a, the same time, and about the
same place, the r. did. She beat over the
outer bars, and came up near the shore,
when by means Of rope made fast to the
brig and hauled taught by the persons on
shore the crew succeeded III landing much
exhausted One of the crew was 81 badly
hurt that he could moi get ashore by the
above means, when young man nameG
Isaac Small, at the risk Of his lille, went
on board, lashed the man, and those en-
shore hauled him out on the land. lie Is
now doing well. Both the above vessels
belonged to one man.
"Schooner Shakespeare, Ulmer, from
Thonaston for New Orleans, came ashore
near the above, and about the same time
crew all saved; vessel and cargo (ime) a
total loss.

about one mile north OF Highland Light,
on Sunday evening. Vessel and cargo a
total loss-seyen of the crew saved, and
two lost.

Ea,iy Rising. Some people have an

is decidedly vuIgar-merely mechanical
