Stdy (From the Edinburglh Star.) On S navxight, there sprang up the heaviest gale of wind froma the eatward; that hasR been experiencedi here for some years past, and it still continues wvith little abatemnent. The: lifie-boat stationed at Newhaven was yesterday forenoon sent overland to Granton point, with 12 fishiermen, to the assistance Of a foreign brig ini distress. She left the roads without a pilot : and was very soon cast upon a- rock. H er condition appeared for some time most desperately peril.- ouis,. especially as thie weather did not allowv of anY succour heing received from the life-boat. The b-rig hadl thrown our her anchor to windward, and by its hold was enabled to get clear. She w-as then seen at strained cable, rolling and pitching in the neost fearful mian- ner, and her deck every minute washed withi the wave; in a few minutes she parted c-able, and was seen tossing about at some dis- tance : her fate is unknown. Great anxiety is, felt respecting the Mlatc/hle.e. smnack, whichi left London on Saturday or Sunday, as she was reporred a-ground off Dunhbar yesterday morning, and nearly a wreck ; but since no express has been received by the mnanagersa at L elth, it is hoped she hias got off', thoughi it canl scarcely bue su~pposed without somne serious diamaige. The Eagle wvas yesterday in somse danger off Cramnond, but was brought up safely ro her moornns The Stirling steam-eboat sailed yesterday, and rasltnit decie rn xreme danger on the coast of Fife-, the anhp was, thatshe would get into Alloa. The wind continuesbtrris and we expect to hiear of many losses. A reveniue cutterarvdx Leith yesterday- reports that sihe passed several wvrecks. The smack Plilot., which sailed from Leith for Lonidon on Friday, put back to thie roads on Saturday with damrage, anid lies gone into, Bjurntisland harbour to repair. Aong the ravages committed by the severe storm of yesterday- morning, was thie destruction of oine of the finest old trees in rU;e meadows, whose trunik was torni up by thie rootts, and spi't in to a numiber of pieces, as if it had been strucek by lightning. We observe the fruit-trees in many gardens in this neightbourlio'sd have shared a similar fate; and in this quarter, chimney-cane, anid slates, and pieces of lime, torn from the roofs end walls of the houses lie secat.. tered in all directions.

The qitantity, of rain that f"ell in the end of' last week was ve,y ereat ; anti on Sunday night a strong gale, accompanied by heavy intermitting showers, camie on forom the north-east. It continuaed to blow all yesterday w;ith ur:abated violence ; and the usual deusioli- tion of ch.imney-cans, slates, &-r. ensuied. Several of the large trees In the mneadows have suffered considerable injury. In the western divis,ion onie was corn up hy the root-in tire eastern or H-opefpark division, a venerable willo'w, well known eo idle boys as; the boss tree, was sinapt in two, and only a stump remains.

Yesterday, no boatn was able to mak-e the passage, and even at Quicensferry r: was con - sidered perilous toi attemnpt crossing.

One foreign brig dirove, and atone timie it was apprehended chiar she would g:o ash)ore near Craniond. The life-boat was launched, hut becfore this5 was eflerted a Nec-haven. fishinig-boat, with twelve venturous nieri, put ofil'to render the brig assistanice, arid thiey sueceeded ini carrying hcr uip the Frlitis. Thie sea broke with frigiselul violence on thle pier at Newhaven, and the light-house at its extremity was battered down by the wvaves. About. five o'clock in the afternobin. a shiip. supposed -to be the Isabella, Simpson, fromi Jamaica. cam toanpcror under tire lee or lirrlkeitfi andit is statedi to have snapped licer calle.
