LONDON. Oct. 15.-The gale which has ragged
over England. Wales. the south OF Scotland.
and Ireland for the last two days renewed its
fury at sunrise this morning. London Ia
deluged with rain and swept by wind blasts.
The storm ia accompanied by heavy thunder
and vivid lightning.
Reports received from the Channel ports
agree that fearful weather is prevailing in the
Channel. The Boulogne packet boats are I'M
able to put to sea. and even II they succeeded
in getting outside the harbor 1t is believed
they could not weather the gale. All along the
coast the beach is strewn with wreckage. and
at Dover a large quantity. evidently belonging
to one or more wreck ed ships. has been washed
ashore.
From Holyhead comes despatch saying
that the body Of q steamship fireman has been
washed ashore and 1t is believed the drowned
man belonged to q steamer which was foun-
dered during the gale. A Cardiff coal-laden
steamer sank yesterday near Holyhead. and
the entire crew persisted. It is thought the
dead fireman may have been one OF her crew.
