TIE FAY.
The Bay is full Of ice, and totally unnavsabe. The
Semaplore 10 the Narrows and Highlands could not
communicate on account of the drifting snow, and the
telegraphc wires to the same points were not in work
ing order. We have therefore received no from
the Lower Bay, and the Long Island and New-Jersey
railroads being blocked UP we have no news from the
beach. In consequence Of the storm the tides have
been unusually high; but VIC have yet heard Of no
damage therefrOm.
THE UNKNOWN BRIG ASHORE on THE JERSEY COAST.
Nothing further has been received about the brig
ashore near the Ocean House, New-Jersey; but the
weather was such that she probably went to piccos
and all hands persisted.
REPoRTED Loss OF IHE SHIP JAVA ~ THE LOWER BAY.
Yesterday afternoon there wss rumor in town that
the 81 p Java, Capt Taylor, from GLASGOW, belonging
TO Durham 4 DimOn, had been driven from her
anchorage on the West Bank in the Lower Bay, sni
carried ashore the east end Of Staten Island where
the went to pieces. The only foundation that we
could find for the story is, that two pilots who camo
I'D from Staten Island being unsble to see her, sup
posed that che WAS lost. Her captain must have been
very unw,se to remain below through Saturday AMI
Sunday, when he had two opportunities to be towcd
up to the city, but refused them both. The rumor
stated that her was saved. Size had very val
usble cargo on board Her owners and the agents of
the underwriters knew nothing more about her than
we have stated. Vessel and cargo are insured in Wan
street. We hope that she may yet be found in good
order and well conditioned.
THE VESSELS BELOW AND orr THE COAST.
A number Of vefsels, inward bound, no doubt
of TIE coast when the gale commenced. Three ships
were reported below Sunday, also the ship Java,
,rn Glasgow at anchor near the West Bank. Several
steamships, now fully due, must have been near e.
hand. Among them the Washington from Bremen
and Southampton, December 81; the Leopold lst,
from Sout hampton, December p; Tempest, from
Glasgow, Goth; Hammonia from Hamburg, 10Th, and
the Black Warrior, from New-Oflsars and Havana
If any luckls.s craft caught Outside and near the
coast OIL Sunday rho must have been driven shore
as no vessel could beat off before such gale. Il IL to
be hoped however, that they had sufficient warning
and put out to sea before it was to- late.
The BARK BYRON.
In consequence of the severity Of the weather
nothing has been done TO the bark Byron, which
was cut through by the ice in the Lower Bay on
Friday, and she has probably gone to pieces.
dispatch from Providence, dated January IS states
that she is Insured there for - 900.
TIE CALIFORNIA STEAMER.
In consequence Of the weather the steamship Geo.
Law will not leave for Aspnwal until We inesday, the
2lst inst, at : p. m.

wind less violent. The temperature had moderated so
that was 10 longer cold, ct least as compared with
Sunday.
