The English papers contain accounts
from all parts of the country of great
storms Hoods shipwrecks, and deaths from
cold and destitution. The heavy snow
storm with which London had been visited
was succeeded on Monday, the 9TH inst,
and the following day, by.a gale, at inter-
walls equaling the force of hurricane,
which has occasioned, rs usual, not only a
great destruction of property, but loss of
life. The gale commenced about midnight.
and from. o'clock till 7, and Q, EN- later in
the morning, the wiud blew with fearful
force, tearing huge limbs off the trees in
exposed situations with amazing power,
aud doing an amount of damage which
would hardly be credited. The hurricane
was accompanied with heavy falls of rain,
Which was blown in sheets of water to the
ground. The wind was chiefly from south
west and south-south-we but it frequent
ly blew with sudden squalls from all points
of the compass. SO strong was the force of
the wind, that on the Brighton and South
Coast railway, the Southeastern, and the
London, Chatham, and Dover, it was with
the greatest difficulty the drivers of trains
during Monday night could make head
against 1t, and they were necessarily very
late in reaching their various ter
mini. The guards stated that for at
least sixty miles on the south coast the
wind for three hours blew with the force
Of a hurricane, tearing up small trees by
the roots, and in many places strewing the
lines with broken branches, so that great
caution was rendered necessary in running
the trains. Indeed, their statements We're
fully borne out by the. appearance of one D
or two of the parks. Ia Hyde Park, near
,KensingtOn Gardens, several trees had had
in some cases, two or three limbs broken
off, and shrubs had been blown out Of the
ground. This was also the case iii St.
James and Battersea Parks. On the river
during the night the scene was one OF wild
excitement. Watchmen were engaged ON
all the barges aud river steamers above
bridge during the gale to keep them safely,
mOored, and very few accidents happened. H
Below the bridge, however, near Deptford,
tROmen belonging to a vessel from Goole
were drowned in boat in whichthey had /,
been ashore, by Sudden squall of wind.
One belonged to London and the other to n
GOole. Their names have not been ascer-
tanned. The suflerings of the poor of Lon. ID
don had been greatly aggravated by the
inelemency of the season. The Morning

"Hnnger and want have been the con-
comitants OF the pitiless weather, and hun 4
dreds, nay thousands, of wofkmen have,
been thrown out of employment and rend- j
cred with their. families completely desti-O
tute.i Any person who CHANGED to pass by
Russell square yesterdayJabout one o'clock
might have witnessed groups of men--well
clad for their station in lite, orderly and
sober, yet apparently. bowed down by af- \
MISUNDERSTANDING from the denzens of
that highly respectable, il not aristocratic 4
locality, the means OF supporting them
selves and families, which q day or two ago
therhard and willing labor supplied. AS
many as 10 men constituted some of the
groups, and innOne were there fewer than i
liVeO six. Their appearance indicated their
calling to be that of railway navies and
dock laborers, and there was nothing about
them suggestive of imposition or orrowdyism.
They moved slowly on, looking up at the
windows of the houses, some groups silent
ly, and others crying out in sort of dis
cOFdant chorus, "We've got no work to do;
are starVing.". All the squares
10 the Observation-Disclosures square, Bedford
square, Tavistock square, Gordon square,
Regent square, and the quiet streets abut-
ting on them, were visited by these men,
and via 7Euston road, they made their way
to MarylebOne iroa1, and so on to- the more
fashionable quarters of the = metropolis, \
Their solicitations did not appear to meet
with many responses, and yet the sight of
these stal wart, rt,decent-looking men, reduced 4
to street, beggary, was one that might well
have touched the hearts of Englishmen.p
