Loss Of life. .f
The terrific gale from the northwest
on Monday last, a most unusual occur
reheo at this season Of the year, told with
most disastrous effect upon the shipping
or the coast, and the destruction Of life
aud property has been truly appalling
As far as the present accounts furnish,
no fewer than one hundred and fly
wrecks aud casualties occurred during
its ravaFes: several steamers arc missing
and one on an excursion trip foundered
with eighty people on board. The steam
ers from the North Sea, which arrived In
the river yesterday, report that tho gale
almost cqualed the hurricane which swept
the coast in the latter part Of last Orto-
Der. The cattle boats from Hamburg,
Rotterdam, Flushing, and other Dutch
ports, had most Of their live stock wash
ed overheard, amounting 20 some hun
dredsj tho decks were swept, bulwarks
stove, sails split, aud boats carried away
and in some instances il Is a miracle how
the ship outlivcd the storm.
II was upon the eastern and northeast
crn range ofthc coast that the gale pro-
duced such dreadful results. During the
height Of the hurricane on Monday, about
midday, eight ships, having from forty
20 fifty souls on board, went down in the
sight Of thousands Of spectators on Var
mouth beach, and not hand was spared
ofthe crows.
In the adjacent roadstead off Lowestof,
there we're hundreds Of collers and ooas-
ters, and the confusion amongst them to
run for place Of refuge was most exoit-
ing, and lod to innumerablo collisions
Upwards Of fly put into the harbor with
the loss of sails, anchors, cables and 9TH
eg damage. OF Southwold a large brig
was seen to founder eight miles from the
shore, and the worst fears are entertain.
ed for the fute ofthe crew. At loves
toN portion ofu guuno warehouse was
thrown down upon the railway lust after
a train had passed, and the country inland
seems to have suffered scyercly. Al
HolkSm Part, the scat of the Earl ol
Leicester, hundreds Of fine oak and other
trees were torn up by thcroots.
Higher up, to the northward OF Flam'
borough Head, the most serious havoc
was ocCasioned The gale suddenly
burst forth on Monday morning with thS
fury ofa hurricane and on tho sOuth shor,
i Of Filey Bay thirteen fne yawls wer,
4 driven on the rocks at Spccton, entaiIinl
a loss Of upwards Of 10000 20 the fish

may be imagined, has created tho doepes
sympathy throughout the district. II Il
/ stated that had there been a hurbor o
refuge In the bay, every one Of the boat
would have been saved. In'the neigh
borhood Of Redah at the. mouth Of ih,
I Tees Bay, the gallo ragged with destructive
fury and about twenty five sails were driy
en- shore.
