letter to superior officer, E" that the order is
not one required or authorized by law" This

EFFECTS OF THE LATE GALE ON
THE COAST

Probable Loss of the Bark Flight ,cith all on
board.-On Friday 10th alt, we gave our read.
ers the full particulars of the stranding OF the
bark Flight, Capt Calhoun, from Savannah to
this port. At the same time we expressed the
opinion that she would not be got off unless the
weather continued fine. AT ~ o'clock, yester-
day morning, our correspondent at Freeport has
tily dispatched few lines to US to the following
effect:
"The bark Flight is not to be seen this morn
ing from the shore. The crew remained on
board last night in order to laughter the hawser
at high water. 1t is feared that they are all
lost"
The Flight had crew of seven men, boy
and the captain, making total of nine persons,
on board. AS she lay at the mouth of New In
let, the full force Of the storm Of Sunday night
must have broken upon her, and dashed her to
pieces.
Captain Calhoun's wife is now in this City,
having left the bark for New York on Thursday
last.

DEsrRUcrroS OF THE U. s. PIER AT HoLLAN,

DESTRUCTION OF THE U. s. PIER AT HOLLAND.
During the past week our place has suffered
very severe loss. the magnitude of which can
not be estimated in dollars and cents.
The government pier had been pushed for
ward as far as possible with the intention Of
completing it TO IL feet of water beyond the
middle bar, so that it could be used for shipping
and receiving property, in case the work should
be suspended.
But the unusually heavy storm Of the 22d and
23d ult. proved too much for it, and about 200
feet in length, together with the pile machine,
were destroyed. ...,-
4 It is supposed that the spray and water from
the unusually high seas, were frozen upon the
piles and deck, until the pier became almost if
not entirely solid ice barrier, which received
the heavy shocks of the seas until the piles were
loosened or broken, and the pier capsized and
carried away. 5.,,..,..g.s- Iv,-Iyf,,,
This loss seems the more unfortunate, because.

among his own constituents, or he could never
have been elected to represent the district of H.

He is a very young man for the important
station which he is called to fill, being but "a
years of age. His distinction, since he has &C.
cuped seat in the House, has been acquired
by his determined and eloquent advocacy of the
Nebraska Bill, which the Legislature of his own
State has never yet endorsed. We presume
that as skillful diplomist he has yet much 70

a new Liquor Law has been laid before the
Special Temperance Committee of the Maine
Legislature, by Neal Dow, which is more strin-
gent in its action, if possible, than the existing
Maine Law. The bill provides that for selling
liquor in violation of the provisions of the act, a
fine of $50 and Imprisonment in the County jail
for four months shall be inflicted for the first Of
Tense; for the second, fine of $50 and six
months imprisonment; and for the third, fine
Of 500 and one year in the State Prison. Per-
sons intoxicated arc obliged to disclose where
they obtained their liquor, under penalty of 60.
ing to the House Of Correction. No action is
to lie against any officer for selling and destroy
ing liquor, where the warrant is issued by CON-
petent Court Expressmen and Railroad and
steamboat Companies who convey liquor, except
according to the law, are to be fined for the two
first offensos and imprisoned one month for the
third. II is tho't the bill will be adopted by the
Committee, but there is some doubt as to the
action Of the House.

The Supreme Court of Ohio, on Saturday, de-
cided that the Liquor Law, passed by the last
Legislature, was constitutional. The law is of
stringent character, prohibiting the retailing Of
liquor, with the exception of native wines, beer
and cider-the penalty for violations being
fine and imprisonment. Several coffee-house
and hotel proprietors who were arrested, and
found guilty of violating the law, some months
ago, but whose sentences were deferred by an
appeal to the Supreme Court, will now be i'm
prisoned for twenty days in the County jail
Public sentiment appears to favor the law, and

bound for this port with wood. A number Of
persons could be seen moving upon her deck.
Intelligence, supposed to be reliable, is received

she was in sight from the harbor here, she was
surrounded by ice and rode well, but Sunday
night the wind changed to the westward, and
yesterday morning the ice and the vessel were

The LATE SToRM.-The storm of the 2lst
ult was severely felt both west and east Of US.
We learn from the Chicago Press, that the storm
was peculiarly severe at that point. The wind
blew tempest for twenty.four hours during
which the air was thick with the falling and dri-
wing snow-houses were unroofed, innumera.
BILE signs and awnings were torn from their fast
enngs and whirled off on the wings of tho
wind. ,.t
The most serious Inconvenience. however, in
regard to the depth of snow fallen, was in the
obstruction ofralroad Recommendation. Engines
were dispatched by the several companies to
clear the tracks, which, after much labor in but
ting, shoveling, &C., restored running order
again. ff .,o ,.,.tf :, .ao
