,, TIE GALE AT KEY wEsr
NEW YORK, November I.-TEO Herald's
Key West correspondent gives further par
ticulars of the gale at that place. He says
| a hundred and fifty thousand dollars will
not cover the damage to private property.
Curry's new wharf has entirely gone. The
cupola blew down and struck upon the new
sponge warehouse, destroying that struc-
ture. Both of his marine railways are de-
stroyed. There are several sunken schOon-
ers crowded in the dock

partment was raised by the wind and torn
completely of, and is now scattered in the
streets. The slate roofs are entirely gone.
Boats and boat houses have all been carried

THE "THUSDERER."
The London Times, of the 18th ult., says
We are quite stire that eur Government may
depend upon the support Of the nation in
! maintaining the position it has taken upi
! If the American Government is determined
to seek quarrel with US, it will be as well
| in this demand as in any other. We can
not have one in which our right is clearer
| and our position more unquestionable. If it
| is not we shall have saved ourselves by the
| firm stand we now taking from great
! degradation, and vindicated for the benefit
! of mankind that neutral position so seldom
| occupied by Great Britain in the wars Of the
past, and so often, we trust, to be hers in the
] future.
THE FRENCH VIEW.
The Paris correspondent of the London
! Post says,
The politicians of our money market and
the public generally have read with great
| interest the published correspondence be-
tween the Cabinets of Washington and
London. Most men come to the conclusion
that no rupture will grow ont of the de-
mands of the American Governments but
they think that England will make COM
pensation in some way or other for portion
of the damage done by Southern seizure.
That is the French view of the existing
difficulty.

TARIFF.
Information has been received that the
French government has lowered the duties
on raw whalebone, the tariff on the article
now being the same as on that imported
into France from European countries This |
has been done without any application on
our part it is a Spontaneous act by that
government. This voluntary concession to
the UIlited States, though of comparatively /
small importduceJ coupled with other pro-
pitious circumstances, encourages the hope |
that our commercial relations generally |
with France will soon be placed on more |
favorable footing.
