IHE EFFECTS OF THE GALK.-The disasters b.
the gale OF Saturday are beginning to be known.
We have not heard yet from the Southern coast,
but 1t Is thought the gale was not so as on
the Eastern shores. Our correspondent at Eaton's
Neck, l.. L., states that the packet sloop Cathe-
rine F. Hale, Capt Dudley Branch, from Ston-
ington for New York, was capsized about half a
mile from the shore. The Captains wife, Eve
line, and a lady passenger, Mary A. Burdick,
with the cook. boy named George E. Stanton,
were drowned; the Captain saved himself by
means of spar and board, on which he drift
ed five miles-he was in the water five hours.
The crew, three in number, saved themselves by
clingng to the wreck, which righted with the
loss of spars, and drfted on the west side of
Eaton's Neck, where she now lies in a bad state.
The schooner Sarah S. Davis, from Fredercks-
burg, with -four, anchored off the Quarantine on
Saturday, and went ashore during the night, but
was got of on Sunday morning. The vessel
leaks badly.
The schooner Detroit, from Boston for Albany,
on Saturday, of Sands's Point, in the heavy
northeast blow, carried away head OF the fore
mast and maintopmast
Schooner Rob Roy, Chapman master, belong
ing to Norwich, for Rondout, was driven high
up shore on the east beach, Lloyd's Harbor,
L., l., with loss of anchor and chain The YES
sci Is high upon the beach, and IT is thought she
will have to be dug out. The soop T. w. Thorn,

sails much torn They have been repaired, and
she will leave for her destination.
One case of woollen goods, marked G 3Sl, +.

Dor during the gale, and forwarded to the city for
the owners.

The Bay State, which left here on Saturday
afternoon in the gale, went through in the fol-
lowing ay,according to the Boston Aduertiser:
1t that the Bay State steamer left New York at
the usual hour and anchored after at Hammond's
Cove about 10 miles from New York She started again

MOVEMENTS IN City PoLrTIcs.-The wings
of New York will hold ward meetings this
evening, for the purpose of selecting delegates
to district conventions to choose delegate
to represent this district in the State conven-
ton, to be held at Syracuse, for the nomi-
nation of candidates for State offices to be elect
ed on the first of November next; and also to
nominate candidates for the assembly. We
hope that moderation and unanimity will pre-
vail at these preliminary meetings.
The democrats held their ward meetings and
district convention some time since, and, as
usual, there was much difficulty in selecting
delegates. There are two or three contested
districts, but, from all we can learn, DR.. vache,
the delegate from the second, will obtain his
seat, as he can satisfactorily prove that he was
the choice of the electors. The difficulties in
the other wards will be settled by the State
convention without much trouble, for it is usu.
ally the case that harmony is restored among
this party at the last hour.
