I.oNDCN. Nov. 12.--It was thought
rs! ui-h; that the heavy gale which has
! prevailed over Great Britain for two
days bad passed on north into the Ger
mar sea. but It seems The storm is still
prevailing Ii southwest Ireland. y dis
patch received this morning from Skib-
bcl@en, forty miles southwest of Cork,
OF The river Hen, states that tie gale is
raging there with great fury. Many
houses al S.sibbereen. and some at AID"
court. two miles below the town, are
greatly damaged. The gale now pre-
vailins in that portion of Ireland is be-
li,vcd to be tie first 0. the storm which

lan,;c- Echoes Of yesterdays storms
are still heard. From Rams2ate, on this
eastern shore Of the Isle of Kent, frCm
which port many Asbelmen sail d,ily TO
pursue lheir pcrIlous calling, comes in
1ellisence that some of the hardy resi-
dents OF that town have made their las.
cruise.
a fshing SNACK ha;ling from Rams
gate, reached here this morning after
terrible experience. She was caught in
tie full fury OF the storm and was terri
bly, beaten by the tremendous rollers
bly, beaten by the tremendous rollers
which swept by the channel from the
Atlantic. The smack was badly dam
ages, but those on board OF her are glad
TO have escapod the fate which has be-
fallen 80 many of their class, and are
consratulat!ng themselves that they are
..Ice more ashore. But net all the men
who sailed IN her have returned to their
families no looked anxiously tor their
coming. -Four Of her crew, while as
sisting il handling the smack in the
worss cf the gale, were swept overheard
by gigantic combers which came aboard
tie vessel. Those Oh board wore help-
less to save their companions. Not for
an instant coula they relax their vigil
sncc in watching the vessel and even
had 1t bcen possible to spare some OF
the nen to man a boat. it would have
been desth to have attempted to put the
boat in the water. 1t was all the crew
could Go to keep their smacks aloat.
and SC they were compelled 10 let their
comrades drown. There is great excite
ment in Southport, at the mouth OF the
Ribble, cn the Irish sea, over the fate OF
the crew CT life boat men. who went out
Yesterday to attempt TO save the crew
OF a vessel which was in distress of that
place. The life boat was fully manned,
and the crew pulled pluckily of the shore
and were soon hidden by tremendous
seas. The crowd on shore waited and
waited for the return OF the lite savers,
but they did not come back. Up to this
morning they had not returned, aud by
many they have been given up as lost.
Their families, hoping against hope, try
to console themselves by tha belief that
the gallant lie savers. being unable TO
return to shore, have succeeded in effect
ing landing at some unfrcqrent part
On the shore furthez north.
There is hardly any doubt among
those acquainted with that part OF the
coast. that the lite boat has tounGered,
and that every soul IN her las found a
waterY grave.
Tie steamer .'Howarden Castle" was
wrecked at the mouth of the Mersey
last night. The men took refuge in the
rigging. -Four bodies have been washed
ashore from The wreck. The trans-At-
