The Wind was fromn thie west, antd swept over the town with grecat violernce for nearly an hour. It was so suiddeni, that, though of short duration, reveral lives, it is ascertained, were lost on the river, anti We ferT that we- miaY yet hear 01' more cahtnaities than we have- beeni able to collect. The Aox, !tlanchester Old Quay Comgreny's flat, was upset between Haleheati atnd 13ee-.it is supposedl in consetutence of having glarounde on a batik, anid being, thus exposed to the united fury- ofthte ivild and [tide. The crew consisted of thiree individuals; all perishced; ande I te hull of the vessel was driven up as faras Ruticortt. Anorther flat, belonging te the Duke's Company. was sunk in the deelp of'the mid- depSsae, between Hale and Ince, and. her crew (of three persons.s tt is suppoSed) alsio Derisited. A boat belonsing to Williamr G-in foundered outside of th'erock : twra'orendrowned, one of diem narined Cole, and two savedl. A schioonier, cthe Zcpdfyr, front Malaga, fruit laden, wits driven on shore near tie Potteries, and filledl witir water. An Amnerican t;hip, with ttimber, was also stranded above t!he Quieen's-dock.

Several vessels were injured in the docks. by, being, driven aLgainst each other. It is remparkable, thet this gal(-. or rather sutldlen and desirtictive gust, was escaped, so far as we can learn, by the vessels immtediately oposite the town, bet was felt in its full tfury hiigher up the river.

In this state, oin Saturday last, Mlr. Chapman drank, about a pint and a half', Airs. Chapman took about half a pint, and anothier person called Philp took a pint. The poisonous influenice of tiso lead soon became apparent; the whole who had drank of the cider were taken, very ill, with violent strainitig and vo- mitting, a sensation of sinking at tire stomnach, arid heat and thirst, accomnpatried by spasmrs over thec whole of the bow'e!s. Mr. Petherick, siurgeon of Lasunceston, was sent for in tCite night, and by persevering in the exhibition of large doses of lopiumn anrd casitor-oil, the siymptomus were abaLtedl. M rs.
