EFFECTS OF THE RECENT GALE-VEsSELs IN
DlsTREsS-DAMAGE TO SHIPPING.

EFFECTS OF THE RECENT GALE-YEsSELS IN
D1sTREss-DAMAGE TO SHIPPING.
NORFOLK, VA, April 1.-THE recent gale
was the scyerest ever known in this section.
The wind at Cape Henry blew siXty-tive
miles an hour for thirty-eight hours contin-
uouslv. The Signal Service telegraph line
along the coast was completely demolished,
the poles and wire having been washed out
to sea. An unknown ship went ashore near
Lvnharen bay during the storm. Her hull
appeared to be in good condition, but her
miZzen-mast had been lost, and the top
mastS and yard-arms Of her fore and main
masts are all gone. Her rigging is also very
much damaged. She is hard aground about
one hundred yards from high-water mark.
About one hundred barrels OF petroleum
are also ashore at this point, and the beach
looks as if a vessel had gone to pieces,
Judging from the wrecked material which
has floated up. 4 schooner, name, I'M
known, is also ashore about two miles south
of the aforementioned ship, opposite Little
Creek inlet. It is not known whether any
lives were. lost from either vessel. The
German shin Kssecuradeur, from Balti-
more, loaded with petroleum, and bound to
Hamburg, is ashore OH Chesapeake bay,
near Crump's Head She parted both an
chors, and was driven ashore during the
gale. She is full OF water, and will proba-
bly, be total loss.
The Norwegian bark Orpheus, from Baltt-
more to Hamburg, with petroleum, en-
countered the gale on the 9th instant. She
parted her anchor-chains and ropes, and
was driven ashore at Greenhill, Chesapeake
bav, where she now lies full OF water. She
will probably be a total loss:
There was quite heavy frost last night,
and fears for the safety OF the fruit and
early vegetables are seriously entertained.
