DREADFUL- HURB 1 CAHE . 1 ITERP 00 L . f From the Liverpool Albion . J Ths observers of the barometer "were astonished , on Friday manmiE , on inspecting their instruments , to find thai an ex t raordinary fall of the mercury in the tuba had -taken place during the night The fall was from 28 92 to 28 05 . Tiua transna ] phenomenon was Qib general topic of conversation daring the day . The barometer in the public rooms "were ever onder constant inspection , and ths ^ ninntest movement of the . mercnry was -watched and neted from morning till night Some said that the phenomenon denoted an earthquake , for that the great earttqtiake at Listen had been preceded
by an extraordinary fall cf the mercury- Others maintained th&tit was the precursor of a storm , either from the eastward or westward * , though , as the wind was blowing smartly from tie westward , that was the probable direction from which the hurricane wonld sweep All sgreea that some awful -natation was impending , Imt whether a canvalsiitn » f the eaitfi or merely of the atmosphere nobody conld tell As the day advanced , liotrever , thg wind increased , lowing that the predictors of the storm were the true prophets . Towards evening it had changed fram a gale to a storm , and from six o ' clock on Friaaj night till fonr on Saturday morning it blew a terrific hnmcace , cansisg serious damage and loss at sea as well as on land .
Tie hnrrieane was at its height between two and three o ' clock . It wts , with short pauses , terrific People wha were exposed to its fury had not the slightest donirt feat it was as violent as the memorable storm on the night of lie 6 ih of January , XS 39 . The jiver , even at low water , about three o ' clock in the morning , "was one sheet \ S foam , the -waves rmrranit as high as if it hati been a fall tide in calm weather . Hundreds of famines , especially those who reside in sitnatiaiis exposed to the sweep of westerly winds , never vestnxed to bsd during tie night . They sat np in the lower apartments of the houses . With one exception . fccsrevtr , the damage done-tc the buildings by the tempest has not been serious . The storms of lfi * e years , and particularly the disastrous stona on the
sigut of the 6 th o : January , 1 ? 39 , have made ptople mGre attentive to the Etale of the roofs and chiciE * xs of bocses , which are now is fnll repair , and capable of Enstsinrng . without much isjary , the preasiue of the most violatt wind 3 and tempests . S * ill , the hurr -cane ofPriday night , oY ^ threw many ciiimseys and chimney pets , and blew off itumberliss slate trom roofs . In Field-stKet , Evertcn , several chimneys were blown dofrn . In Bokefcy-strset 3 chimney penetrated the roof of a bvose , but , we are happy to say . no o *« ber damage occurred . The houses in Sh 3 W-s « reet , Salisbury-street , and Seho-streei aiso suffered mots or less ,-one house in Salisbury-street was partially onrooled . Part of a garden wall and railing in Brownlow-street was carried away ; a stable belonging to Mr . Crosby , West Derby , wes nnroofed ; and the shed of the bnading at the back of the Fish Market was blown
away . Ose of the severest casualties which has occurred took place in Epworth-street , London-rosd . About half-pxst one o ' clock a stack of three chimneys fell open the roof of the honse ef John Pace , an industrious journeyman organ pips maker , and carried it through two floors into the cellar below . On the first floor the occupant of the bon * e , bis wife , asd a child were in bed ; and two cMldrtn , who hid been brought from an upper apartment , on account of the roaring of the wind , were ia ibe same room . Ail these were carried below with the falling ruins , and burie - tmfiet the rubbish . The
exterior cf the house , with the exception of the roof ard chimneys , remained intact , so that so person look ' ing at It couid have supposed that so horrible a catastrophe had -oecnrrea . About four o ' clock , as lnspt « toT Slorley , cf the police , was going his rounds , he heard , when in tha "Edaiiy , a moaning , and Bet himself to ¦ wcik to ascertain the cause . Bs soon discovered it , raised the slam , and , with the assistance of Mr . C . BGrcstreux , surgeon , and other persons who were attracted te the spot , s = d rendered the most active and ¦ a ^ fal EPTTfca . broke open lie door . The awful mielortime that had befallen the inmates of the house was .
tnta txj > c 5 td to view . it being evident that some persons were alive under the rnbbish , the party immediately proceeded to remove it ; and by half-past six o ' clock the whole family were taken out alive , and found to have snstzin&d enly tr ? fling injuries . The joists asd beams bad fallen over than in such a manner as to protect ihem fiom the superincumbent -mass a hole had been left which admitted sufficient air to save them from suffocation . One of the children was taken to ths Infirmary , but none cf its bones were brokaj , and its injuries consisted only of bruises : The
motter was near her confinement , but , we believe , has not experienced much inconvenience from ths fright . It was her iDosniEg which first drew the attention of the po'Jcs inspector , and led to the discovery of the accifteiit The husband states that he was , at first , Xfcndered insensible by the fall , and was aroused by the moaning of las wife . We understand that he is a steady , hard-working man ; sad , having lost the whole of Ms furniture and his tools by the accident , a sub-ScripScn , which we hepe will be adequate to the purpose , 5 s raising for his relief .
iniNstbei&Jd-Tead , Everton , which , from its elevated and exposed situation , felt the fail ftrce of the Rorm , EcTEKd tre = o were blown down . The houses- on the MD rustaiiied , however , comparatively trivial dsHisge . In Texicib-paii , where the houses , like those on Everton , are exposed to the westerly gales , daiuaga was also sustained . The steeple of one of the new churches in tea locality was , it is said , somewhat s ^ siren . Xo seri&ua injury was , however , sustained by the buUtangg at the south end .
On ths Cheshire side cf the Hersey , in Birkenhead and its vicinity , the only loss which has yet come to our inowleuge is thai sustained by the failing in of the gable of a new honse in Wellington-terrace , as "well as the CBstrncaon of an incomplete cottage in a snail Etreet near Grange-lane , besides occasional breaches made in the roofs of houses here and ^ there . Co which must be added ihs demolition of numerous panes of glass throughout the town . Ths steamers which ply to the different ferries on the Cheshire aide wets compelled , early in the evening , to keep en the other side . As the tide rose , the surf
along , the sea-wall became tremendous . It would , indeed , have been destruction to spy vessel , even a steamer , to approach the quays . With the exception of the "Wooi - Hiae boats , the ether steamers ceased to pW after eight o " clGck . The Woodgide beats ecatinned . to brave the storm till half-past nine , at which hour ihe gals had so much increased that the ClevelsBd steamer was obliged to return to Woodside withcut being able to land all her passengers on this side , a few of ths younger or , es only having reached the pier by jumping from the bost ; the remainder prudently returned to Cheshire , where they remained ail mght
Early in the fcVtning the landing-stage at the George ' s Piex was dsmaged by the violence of the sea , and driven alongside ibe wall . The small craft in the basins have sustained damage , ! bat , from the palpable indications of the approach of a Etorm , which induced the boatmen to sMure them , less than from ordinary storms which come onsadd « D ] y . At tbs George ' s Slip many of the boats were drawn : up :, bo as to be out cf dar-ger . The vessels in the river rode out the storm , but , in many eases , with extreme difficulty . The tide rose , through the force ef the wind , many feet above the calculated xise , and caused , at high water , a terrific j sea , which frequently broke over the numerous craft I at anchor in the river . A schooner , at anchor in the I guaranfine-grctmd , was overwhelmed by the sea and ) sank . The crew , it ia feared , were drowned . Several j fiats were also sunk . . I
The pobce , under the personal superintendence of ) Mi Whitty , were on the alert all along the seawall , ' rendering assistance whenever it was necessary . They ! were extremely -useful during the night . > The distster 3 at sea , and on the contiguous banks , ' have been seriens , and have been accompanied by a melancholy loss of life . Lieutenant SaazsSeld , K y ot the mail-packet Princess , who arrived on Saturday morning , abonr eleven o ' clock , from Dublin , states that he never encountered a Beverer night . As he was coming thronEh the Varmbj Channel he S 3 W a schooner ' sank off Crosby-point . The gallant effiser immediately
took measures to save any of the crew who might survive . The schooner was the Hale , from Creetown ^ « n the south coast cf Scotland . The crew had consisted of five persons ; four of these had been swept off ana drowned . The master was the only survivor , and had saved himself up to the moment of bis rescue bv clinging to ths vase ' s rigging . He was taken en board the steamer , and the means there tised restored hnn to a comparative sensibility .

Many of the poor feDow 3 were in an exhausted " state ; but they all soon recovered on being brought on shore .
The American ship John Cummings , Captain Thayer , from the Savannah , which wa 8 at anchor in Bootle-bay ¦ gas in imminent danger of becoming a total wreck . The sea made repeated and complete breaches over htr . The Tiolenceol t 2 ie storm * nd the sea caused both her mt&oa to < tag , nnta she saDed on the Bootle sands wharc , at the fall of the tide , she lay high and dry . The bottom being soft sand , the Teasel has not sustained much damage . She will be got off at the next spring tides . f The Temon , "wMcb saflfid for Glasgow oq Friday morning , was driven back ' byaie force of the stor » j and got onBnrbo Bank , where she became a complete wreck .

Captain Hackstaff had two men . blown off theforeyard , snd two men maimed by being I blown on deck during the nighfc He describes the tempest as having been as severe as any he ever en-. conntered . When the ship lurched it Beemed as if tbe ; waves actually washed over the mizan-topmsst-head . The packet-ship Hottingner , Captain Bnrsley , which sailed on Wednesday for New York , put back on Saturday morning . Captain ButBley saw the packet-, ship North America , Captain Lowber , on Friday , about one mile to leeward , < ff Ramsay , Isle of Man . The bodies of two men , who , no donbt , belonged to | one of the two schooners wrecked on the banks , were , fonnd floating , and brought to town on Saturday night ! The weather was quite calm throughout the whole of i the night of Saturday . :
The Hclyhead leUer received on Saturday morning , , which was posted on Friday night at seven o ' clock , states that the barometer continued to fall during the : day , and at half-past four o'clock in the afternoon it blew , as the writer expresses it , " a whole gale . " The Aqaeona . Altridge , from this port to Cork , put back 1 with foretopsail split . The St . George , Lever , from D inerara to this port , had put in with loss of foretop-, gallant-mast . The Catherine , of Glasgow , had also put in , with loss of main boom , main gaff and loss of bulwarks . ' The letter added , that several other vessels had taken ' . refuge at Holyhead from the effects of tb . 9 tempest .
j PLYMOUTH . 1 During the night of the 12 th and the morning of 1 Friday , the 13 th instant , the town of PlymentL and its vicinity was visited by a tremendous gale from the west , west-south-west , and sonth-west , accompanied by heavy ; showers of rain . The casualties on the ; land have been principally confined to the prostration of cbimnies and partial nnroofing of bonses , without any personal i injury . Afloat great damage has been done , but it is be' lievert that there also , providentially , no lives have been lost . The schooner Bdle , cf Piymouth , Curtis master , is beached at Deadman ' s Bay . The three brigs Sea ' Witch , Baker ; Southampton , Symons ; and General Brcck . all of London , are stranded in Batten Bay . The
baik Brdgilla , of Falmonih , is a total wreck at Bovisarid Bay . A brigantine from Marseilles for Liverpool has come ii » with loss of sails . The brig Majfiower , which stranded on the south side of the breakwater on the 3 d instant , has been carried by the force of the waves dear over it , and now lies nearly perpendicular on tha nurtfe or inner side . The trawler Loyalty ia ashore at the back of the eastern pier . The following vessels are said to be safe : —Parkflrid , Wbiteside for Port Philip ; Alicia , Scott , for Port Philip ; Bosanna , Koith , for Rio Janeiro ; Alexander Robertson , Norie , for Montsezrat s Euphrates , Wilson , for Calcutta ; Pacific , Michie , for Oporto ; Francis I . ( American ) , Ainsworth , ior New York ; Christian ( Dane ) , Korme , for St Croix .
ADDlTlOXAl . PARTICULARS . Saturday , Job . 14 , 12 o'Ciock . Up to this time , notwithstanding the continuance of the gale , providentially eo lives have been lest by sea or land . The Belle has tesn warped off from Deaaman ' s Bay without mnch damage . The Saawitch is still ashore at Jenny Ci . ff ; no water in her yet Her cargo will probably be saved , and there is a bare possibility of her being got off . She has a mail-bag for the coast of Africa , which has been landed . So great was the force of the winri that lead weighing neiir ; y a ton was peeled off one vt the * beds in Her Majesty ' s Dockyard , where olher tffects of its strength have been manifested . The chimney of the Manoroffice , Davenport , fell on the coach-honse , and crushed
a carriage and gig . In the Plymouth citadel , the slates were blown from the roof of the barracks to the ramparts , and the lead on the chapel there has been tamed up like so much paper . Many chimnies have been blown down in Plymouth , Devonport , Stonehouse and Stoke , and in some cases the inmates had been compelled to escape through the windows . The roof of Saltram-house , the seat of the Right Hon . Earl Morley , has sustained considerable damage . A gentleman , who was cfficially engaged to record the movements of the weather-glass at this place , for a period of seven years , states that in all that time it was never bo low as on Friday morning , during the worst of the weather , it was still lower , so low , indeed , that tbfere -was no means left of indicating the force of the storm .
PORTSMOUTH . ( Fnm the Hampshire Telegraph ) Yesterday morning early a terrific gale of wind commenced in this vicinity , and , with veiy little intermission , has continued til } the hoar of out going to press ; the casualites that have occurred from it which we have , as yet , heard of are the following ;—The sloop William 1 Y , Mew , master , from Cowes for London , with a general cargo , pr incipally malt , drove on shore in Stokes Bay yesterday morniDg , between four and five o'clock . She still lies at highwater-mark , and must be lightened before she will come rfil The brij ; Moore , Ball master , from Southampton to Sundertand , in ballast , parttd in Stokes Bay yesterday morning , and is is still on the beach at highwater-mark . She does not appear to have received any damage , and as soon as the weather modemtes she will be t , ot off .
A brigantine , name unknown , was last night on shore on the Woolseners . The crtw , just before dark , were observed leaving her , and , we hope , landed safe on Hayling Island . Tha brig Wanderer , Hams master , of Bideford , for Ipswich , in ballast , from Llaoelly , parted from two anchors and chains , windlass broken , this morning near the Woelstrners , and ran for Lungstene-harbour , where she rides safe . An anchor has been stnt to her . The two Brothers , Fielder master , from Weymouth for L&ngBtone , with a cargo of barley , in coming for the harbour , about noon yesterday , got on shore on Southsea-beach . She was got off early this morning by the exertions of her own crew ; the Yarkorough steamer , however , get on shore last night in attempting to get htr off , and lay there without damage all night
A sloop and a two-masted vessel were observed at anchor , riding heavily , abont five miles S . S . W . of Cumberland-fort , this morning , at dayl ? eht ; they both sack shortly afterwards , and it is feared all hands have perished . The mast-heads of the two-masted vessel are visible . Several houses at Southsea are much damaged in roofs , chimneys , and windows . The dockyard buildings are , some of them , aho slightly damaged ; and we regret to find that Lord Asbbnrton ' s new marine villa , in Stokts-bay , is seriously injured .
BRISTOL . The late storm , which appears to have affected almost every portion of the kingdom , in its progress visited Bristol and the neighbourhood and laged on Thursday and Friday with the utmost fury . During the night the wind blew with most fearful violence , producing the usual effects of chimnies blown down , windows broken , and bouses partly unroofed . Among other accidents the Gothic window of St . Nicholas Church , in the clock tower , was tern completely oat of its framework and dashed in . The vane of St Philip ' s Church also was torn eff . From St Werberg ' s Ghurch several coping-stones of large size were blown down . At the West of the England Stay Factory the entire stock of chimnies was % lown down , and , falling
on the r » of , dashed it in , and the whole mass forced its way through the ceiling of a room in which upwards of fifty girls were at work , causing , of course , the ntmost consternation . Many of the females went into hysterics , but providentially none of them were severely injured , most of them having escaped with a few braises . A stack of chimnies was also blown down at Mr . Ames ' s seat near Westbury . atDimentand Grimer ' s York-street , and at the comer of Philadelphia-street iBjQaeen-sqoare a very large elm tree was torn np by the roots , as were also several trees in the neighbourhood . At Trowbridge the chimnies of a largB factory were blown down , and , as we hear , upwards of £ 600 of damage done . At the time of the hurricane several vessels were lying at Anchor in King-road , and much
apprehension was felt for their safety ; it was found that most of them had started their anchors and were driven ashore at the month of the river , but without suffering much damage . The Pomona , bound for the West Indies , started her anchors , and was driven down Channel quite out of sight ; but so variable was the wind , that shortly afterwards she was driven back again by the fury of the tempest , and went ashore in the mouth of the river , Among those which went ashore were the Reform from Glasgow , the Caroline for Tobago , the Mayflower for Bonny , the Active for Bridgewater , a Prussian brig , and one or two others . The sloop Anne of Berkeley , from Black Rock , foundered near the month of the river , fortunately , however , without loss of life » the crew being saved . The Mermaid steamer , from Cork , Captain Home , belonging to the Bristol Genera ] Steam Navigation Comp&ny , arrived , yesterday , after havins experienced the
fnll fury of the gale , by which she was much damaged , her bulwarks being stove in . and her starboard paddlebox broken in fragments . She states that she first encountered the hurricane when about midway across the Irish Channel on Thursday night She weathered the gale until she came abreast of Lundy Island on Friday afternoon , where her bulwarks were stove in , and upwards of fifty pigB washed overboard . Daring the remainder of the voyage the sea continued to sweep over her with fearful violence and pour into her hold , by which means , upon her arrival , it was found that upwards of 2 D » pigs were washed overboard or suffocated . Nothing but the superiority of her machinery saved her , in the opinion of the crew . The Irish packets did not Bail yesterday , but one or two of them sailed this morning . Some apprehension , also , is felt tor the safety of the Dublin and Waterford packets , which were due here yesterday , but . they may not have sailed . Nothing certain , however , is known .
TYNEMOTITH CASTLE , FunUT .-Last night the wind blew a teirifie hurricane from the south-west accompanied by B seTere frost and thunder and Mghtning , which np to the time of this being despatched by post Btill continues with apparent increased fury . At about a quarter to one o ' clock & light-Tessel was ohserred off the entrance pt the harbour , apparently in distress and endeavouring to take shelter by running over this bar . To those assembled on the beach it was evident that she would not make it on account of the surf , and efforts were made by the coast-guard , as well ss about one hundred and fifty Tyne pflote , to dissuade those on board from making the attempt Blue lights were fired for that purpose , but whether their meaning was understood it ia impos-

sible to ssy , for the vessel continued its coarse , and soon afterwards met with a dreadful fate , just as she reached within a short distance of the bar a heavy wave struck hex amidships , throwing her on her beam-ends , and she immediately drove on to the rocks . In an instant a number of gallant young men pushed off with the lifeboat , and made towards the unforunate vessel , which proved to be the John and Isabella , belonging to Sunderland in ballast Another brig then made its appearance at the mouth of the harbour , and was driven by the violence of the hurricane , in the coarse of a short time , upon the same mass of rocks . After considerable exertion the lifeboat succeeded in reaching the John
and Isabella , and her crew , consisting of eight persons , with the master , were taken off the wreck an ! safely brought back to the shore . Those , however , on board of the other wreck were less fortunate , as three of the crew and the captain perished in an attempt to gain the shore . The wreck being beyond the reach of the life-boat , the cuast-coard lost no timn in attempting a communication by means of Captain Manby ' a life apparatus , and after two or three rockets had been fired from the mortar , one happily with the line attached was thrown through the rigging , by which a rope was passed from the vessel to the beach . Four ef tbe crew were saved ; the rest , with the master , were lost while TnR . Ving for the shore .
By twelve o ' clock the John and Isabella and the Percy had broken up , and bad become a total wreck . Their loss is estimated at £ 3 , 090 . None of the bodies of the Bufferera have yet been discovered .
YARMOUTH , Jan . 13 . During last night and this morning it has blown a heavy gale from tbe south and south-west . In the early part of the storm tbe York la brig ) Captain Smith , belonging to London , while on her passage to Goole , succeeded in effecting an entrance into the harbour , though much damaged , having lost her bowsprit and boats . The schooner Ptcenix . of London , was driven * sbore at about one . o'clock this morning , between seven and eight miles up the coast to the northwar' 4 of the town , and it is feared will go to pieces . The crew saved themselves by the boats . Two other vessels , one the John Simes , from Aberdeen , and the other Celia , Captain Longtaff , of and from London to Sundcrland , were aho both driven asbore off the town . Should the weather moderate there was a chance of getting them off , Daring the morning upwards of 200 vessels lost their anchors and cables by
the extraordinary violence of the wind . Between two and three o ' clock tbe John and William , belonging to Newhaven , Master George Smith , from thiB port , was totally lost on the beach at Baarside , abont two miles to the west of Newhaven Harbour . The master , two seamen , and a Newhaven pilot succeeded in reaching the shore in safety ; but tbe rest , consisting of s young man , a seaman named Jones , and the cabinboy . were unfortunately drowned . Since then the beach has been strewn with the remains of the vessel . Among other vessels that have sustained injury are tbe following : —A large brig , supposed to be a Newcastle trader ( at present riding in the roads ; lost her rrnlder , anchor , and chain , in consequence of coming into collision with another vessel . The schooner Ann , from London to Goole , lost bowsprit , and the Shtffleld , from London , with bulwarks stove in and loss of chain and cable .
A dreadful shipwreck happened near Bou ' ogne , within a short distance of the spot where the Rflianee East lndiaman was li st a short time since . The Albion , Captain Thompson , in making through the Downs for the Thames , was driven on shore , where she became a wreck . The crew , it is feared , all perished . At Ufracembe the schooner Ringdove , from Princa Edward's Island , was totally lost during the atorm within a few miles of the harbour , and has since gone to pieces . The crew were saved by a boat belonging to the Coast Guard Service , which took them off the vessel just before she struck . Another vessel , called the Diligence , Edwards master , of Aberdovey , went down in deep water off tbe Grassbolru . The crew took to the boat , and landed at St . David ' s about four o ' clock on Friday afteruoon . Tho vessels are valued at £ 1 , 200 .
At Sheerness the hurricane was severely felt ; in fact , it was impossible to stand against it in any exposed situation . The oldest inhabitant has no recollection of so awful a gale . During the night no less than four ships drove on shore on tbe Maplin sand , where it is expected they will shortly become wrecks . One Is tho Gaod Hope ,, laden with grain , bound for Cardiff . Several fishing-smacks have gone out to their assistance . At daybreak a small round stern of a vessel , apparently about 25 tons burden , said to be tbe Friends ' Goodwill , of Colchester , was thrown- by the waves upon the beach near Dover ; at fiist serious apprehensions were entertained for the fate of tbe crtw , but it was subsequently allayed by the arrival of a Norwegian schooner at Ramsgate , that vessel having picked them up st sea . From their account it appears their vessel capsized from the fury of tbi- storm , and they escaped by jumping into the stern boat , which they ma-aged to
cut away , otherwise tbt-y must have perished . The Norwegian schooner proved to be the Norden , from Messina , and was nnder quarantine at tbe time the unfortunate crew came in sight She also was afterwards nearly lost in making fur Ramsgate harbour ; as it was , she did not eBcaye without injury . Both anchors and cables slipped and were lost About the same hoar , another schooner called the Ann and Avis , from London , caps > z ? d in the Channel and immediately went down . The crew were saved . At about ten s ' clock in tho morning ( Friday ) a large American ship ceiled the Samarang , from New York to Hull , having a valuable cargo ^ on board , was seen by the Deal pilots drifting away to sea from the Downs , wholly unmanageable ; both masts bad been cut away , and the crew had abandoned the vessel . Her fate is at present unknown . Her crew have since reached Broadstairs in safety .
Salcosibe . —A fearful etcrra has been raging here for the last twenty-four hours , unroofing the houses in the town , and tearing up trees by their roots . In tte river several vessels have driven from their moorings , and two ships , the Djve aud the Commerce , are on shore outside the harbour , in a most dangerous situation . At Hull the gale was also severely felt A vessel called the John and Susan from Shoreham to Stockton , was wrecked at about four o ' clock in the morning , near Lower Coates ;; fortnnately the crew were saved . Among other wrecks reported to have occurred in tbe hurricane are the brig Resolution at Orforduess , crew saved ; a Scotch schooner near the same spot ; the William the Fonrtb , and tbe Moore , upon the sanJs in Stokes-boy ; the Despatch , on shore , at Miatley ; the T wo Brothers en shore at Southsea beach ; the Henry Brougham on shore at Pakefleld , and two others .
It is feared that two or three vessels foundered in tbe course of Friday morning off Dungeness , and that all on board perished .
LONDON AND ITS VICINITY . Oa Thursday afternoon , abont three o ' clock , the fall of snow during ; the previous night and morning , was succeeded by an intense frost , the thermometer falling dnring tbe evening as low as 20 deg . being 12 deg . below freezing point ; and by eight o'clock , ice hud already formed of the thickness of a crown-piece , at which time the sky was perfectly dear , and the moonlight bright Between twelve and one o ' clock , however , the sky became obscured by a thick scud , which passed swiftly from south to north , and rapidly increased in density , the mercury at the same time rapidly risiug . About three o ' clock on Friday morning , a sharp wind sprung np from the south-south-west ; and , shortly before four o ' clock , a heavy rain began , which continued ,
accompanied by violent gusts of wind , until daybreak . About nine o'clock , there was a heavy fall of hail , and as the forenoon advanced , the wind increased in violence , until , between twelve and one o'closk , it ¦ blew a perfect hurricane from the sontb-west , which lasted tor nearly an hour . The wind continued very violent throughout the afternoon , evening , and night . The damage done dnring the hurricane has been very extensive , and Borne of the streets of the metropolis are strewed with fragments of broken chimney-pots , tiles , slates , < fec ; while , out of town , trees , palings , &c , have been blown down in all directions . About two in the afternoon , Mr . Feltbara , cow-keeper and dairyman , of Gbalton-street , Somers Town , was walking along Portland-place , when , on
arriving opposite the bouse No . 24 . in the occupation of Sir George Hill , part of the stack of chimneys were blown down oh the coping-stone , which broke away , and falling , alighted on the head of the unfortunate man , entering his skull , and fracturing it in a shocking manner . Horaford , a mendicity officer , and others who witnessed the occurrence , immediately hastened to his assistance , and withoat loss of time conveyed him to Middlesex Hospital , where , although every attention was paid to him , the injuries be sustained were of eo dreadful a nature that he died in less than two hours afterwards . In Dukestreet , Manchester Square , a miraculous escape occurred . A poor woman named Burrows , with an infant child in her arms , was passing along , when a
stack of chimneys was blown down from the house of Mr . Christie , jeweller , one of which just grazing her elbow , she in her fright dropped her child on to the flag-stones ; but it was subsequently fouud that neither it nor herself was seriously hurt . In St . James ' s and Hyde Parks , Kensington Gardens , the Palace Green , and atBrampton Row , Fulham Road , a number of trees have been torn up by the roots ; At Notting Hill , Shepherd's Bosh , and other elevated and open parts , nearly every bonBe suffered , more er less . A very great deal of damage was done on the river by vessels coming in collision ; tbe schooner Waterlily had her bowsprit carried away , and a brig had the principal part of her bulwarks torn . away , by the flake of a collier ' s ( the William ) anchor . We have not as yet heard of any
loss of life , although , serious apprehensions are felt for three barges , which sailed for the Medway heavily laden , on Thursday evening . Up the river , about Chelsea , Folham , Putney , Wandsworth , Hammersmith , Richmond , fee ., several barges , ( some heavily lad « n ) , with boats of every description , have been drifted from their moorings by the force of the wind ; and , although the major part of ihem were driven on shore , several are said to have been sunk . Along tbe shore on each side , the walls and palings have been blown down in all directions , and considerable damage has been done to many of the market gardens by the influx of the tide . —A letter , dated Windsor , Friday evening , says : Tbe boisterous weather during the greater part of tbe night and the whole of to-day haa done consider-

TEB AND . MATE DROWNED . In the height of the terrific gale on Friday a large brig was driven on the coast , at 10 a . m . at the top of high water . She came on shore at Atherfleld ; all her sails were split , tbe sea making a clean breach over her . At this time , it is said , the captain and mate met a watery grave . During the afternoon many attempts were made by means of Dennett ' s rockets to throw a line over her , but the galo raged so that but one succeeded . By this , at daybreak on Saturday , one ef the seamen was dragged on shore , but was nearly lifeless when taken up . Ten more men still remained on board ,
and about mid-day two boats reached the ship from the shore , each returning with five men . There are many reports in circulation as to the brig's having been boarded at different times in the Channel , the captain and crew being £ runk , the men in a state of mutiny . They had a cargo of coals bound to Grenada , ami had experienced very bad weather . The deck had been swept ; the boom , boats , and bulwarks carried away . She was boarded by a Poole hoy on Wednesday , when all was in confusion . They afterwards took a pilot , and'ran for the Needles , bnt the wind unfortunately coming roundjto the N . E . the captain discharged him and stood for Plyujouth .-r-iS ' un .
SUNDERLAND . At Sunderland , two ships were wrecked in the course of TiiawiAy night On Friday fort-noon , two brigs were driven on shore at Tynemouth . One was the Percy , Hair , from Sunderland , which soon broke in pieces . Her crew ( all townsmen , the most of whose families were amongst the assembled spectators on the beach ) were exposed to the most fearful danger . A rope waa thrown to tbe deck , and tbe apparatus put into operation . Captain Hair , the cook and bis son , were put into the slings , but , from the lurching of the vessel , to which tbe rope was attached , they were , it is supposed , thrown out , and all three drowned . The fate
of Mr . Hair ( who struggled for nearly twenty minutes amidst the raging surf ,: catching at one time the rope with bis heels , and then approaching almost to the rock , as if determined not to die ) was past describing ; but alas ! he , as well as his comrades , perished under the eye of friends , family , and acquaintance . His body has since been found . The remainder of the crew were saved by the heroism and bravery of a b > 3 tman at Tynemouth Haven , who stripped off his clothes , put off in a boat , and succeeded in rescuing the remainder of the crew , four in number . The life-boat approached so near as to hazird in great peril tbe lives of tha men in her , but did not succeed in reaching tbe vessel .
THE EUKRICANE IN IRELAND . Belfast . —Since tun o ' clock on Friday night it has been blowing a hurricane , accompanied by heavy showers of sleet and rain , and we fear considerable damage both by sea and land will he the result . The barometer , on Thursday morning , was lower than we ever remember to have seen ; and the storm of the fallowing night is full proof of the accuracy of this wonderful weather prophet . COTK , J an . 13 . —At seven last evening the barometer
fell from 29 to considerably below the index ; shortly afterwards it began to blow from the S SVV ., and increased to a perfect istorm ; at thirty minutes past ten o'clock , p m . veered round to the W ., with thunder and lightning . The vessels here have held on well , with the exception ef the Royal Saxon , from China , having run foul of the Syren , and carried away her bowsprit ; and the Governor Douglas having drifted foul of the S pence , and carried away the bowsprit of the latter ; the Chaniplain drove from White-point to the barrack , and is now holding on well .
Cork . —The year 1843 set in with one of the finest days ever remembered in that season ; but sine © then there'has been a complete change , heavy rains and high winds having been tbe prevailing character of the weather . But the last two days have been more severe and stormy than any which : preceded them , though we are glad to state we have no calamity , and very little serious injury , to relate as the consequence . On Thursday night , about eleveD o ' clock , the wind , rather sudilenly , bt-eun to blow strong from the west , accompanied with heavy rain and flashes of lightning . With occasional lulls tbe gale rose to a peifect hurricane , but its force was greatest at about five o ' clock iu the morning , when tbe roofs and chimnies freoly yfohittd tribute
to its fury , by disengaging slates and bricks in all dinctions , while there was ulao a prospect b « l « 1 out that glaziers as well as tilers would soon he in requisition to repair the damage done in all directions . Thure was no mitigation of tbe storm until an advanced hour yesterday , and very many of the shops having b . en kept closed , gave a very sombre cast to tbe town . Towards evening , however , there was some subsidence , and at night a complete lull , followed tu » s morning by a heavy fall of . snow , which continued for two or three honra , and then changed to a heavy fall of rain and sleet , ¦ which continued up to eleven o'clock to day ; and now , when we write , ut one , all is calm and sunshine . — Reporter .
Wexford . —Since Sunday last we have experienced vari > ua changes of weather . On that day we had partial snow showers ; on Monday rain , and on Tuesday frost , none of which , in this immediate locality , were of any great extent . On Thursday niight tho wind waa S , with r « n ; but about two o ' clock on Friday morning it suddenly veered to SS . W . ami W ., with heavy thunder and lightning , and tremendous squalls , accompanied with torrents of rain for about two honra , wben it abated . During tbe storm a large bark got on shore on Ballyteiaue burrow . We have not yet learned her
name , bat understand sbe is from the West Indies , and that four of the crew perisheiL Mr . F . Harper , agent to the underwriters at Lloyd ' s , Liverpool , and Glasgow , proceeded this morning to the wreck . During the whole of yesterday , it blew a fierce gale , with fitful squalls ; but , from the position of our port , the shipping here have suflared no damage . We have just learned' that the wrtcked vessel is the Sauton , of Liverpool , Captain Huxtell , frum Calcutta to Liverpool , and laden with sugar , rice , and saltpetre . We regret to find that the captain is among tbe drowned . The vessel will be a complete wreck . —Coiuen'alive .
" Di'NDBi'M , Jan . 15 , 3 o ' clock p m —Friday morning was so very fine that almost all the boats from Newcastle to Annlong vent out to their fishing in the bay , where they had quite nn uncommon take of fish . About noon it come on to blow with snow . Up to this hour there are , I believe , seven boats from Newcastle , and four from Aou-long , missing , These were skiffs , manned with about six hands each . Some of them were seen to go down by the crews of the boats which got in . One made KUiough , and sold 25 s . or 26 s , worth of fish there ; in fact , I believe they were all heavy laden . One boat drifted in with two < i « wl men in it I think they teckon on * loss of 48 Kt > uls at Newcastle , and about 30 at Analong , or 80 altogether ; but 1 do not pretend to give you an Uncial or authentic account of tbe numbers , only wbat appears to be the best aud least exaggerated . You can easily picture the state of the unfortunate wiilowa and children along the coast . It is the most hffl . cting event that has ever eccurred in this quartor . "
DREADFUL LOSS OF AN INDIAMAN , WITH HER PASSENGERS AND CREW . The late succession of fearful gales had in somo degree prepared the public mind for the intelligence of wrecks from all quarters . The most gloomy apprehensions have been more than realized . A list of disasters , perhaps unparalleled , has been already received , and there is reason to fear that tbe catalogue will be greatly augmented by subsequent arrivals . Only six weeks have elapsed since the attention ef the country was painfully excited by the loss of tbe ship Reliance off Boulogne , wben nearly all the passengers and crew were lost . Another East lndiaman has now to be added to the melancholy list of wrecks on that ill-fated coast , The Conqueror , a fine vessel © f 60 p tons , belonging to Mr .
Richard Green , of the flra of WigTam and Green ; bound from Calcutta to London , and commanded by Captain Dtiggan , after beating , about in the Channel during the heavy gale on Friday night , was driven on shore , off Lorel , a small town on' tte French coast , only six miles distant from Mirlemont ( where the Reliance struck ) , at about half -past ten o'clock p . m . and immediately went to pieces , every soul on board being lost , with the exception of a boy nauie-1 He&ry Abchurch , one of the cuddy servants . The crew' consisted of about 45 seamen , exclusive of officers , and , the vessel had no less than 18 passengers on board , inclading Mrs . Thompson ( the wife of an Eaat India
Captain ) , ; and Mrs . Jenkins , both of whom were accompanied by a family of fonr children , and three officers of the United Services . The ship was freighted with a valuable cargo of silk and general merchandise ; and it is supposed that she must have suffered severely from the late hurricanes , and become unmanageable as she neared the Channel . No authentic statement of tbe circumstances has yet been received frjm the poor boy , who is the only one saved . He is under tbe care ; of Mr . Hamilton , her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Boulogne , and will remain for the melancholy purpose of identifying an ; bodies that may come ashore .
A letter announcing tbe wreck was received yesterday morning by Mr . W . Dobson , secretary to Lloyd ' s , from Mr . A . Adam , the agent at Boulogne . Of the entire cargo only a few puncheons of rum have as yet been recovered . The wreck is entirely gone to piecca Mr . Green , the owner , despatched his agent last evening to Lorel , for the . purpose of protecting his property , and Captain Thompson , the brother-in-law of Mrs . Thompson , and other connexions of the deceased passengers , accompanied him . Mr . Hamilton has been unceasingly engaged on the spot

The Cbnqmror was built at Newcastle , and purchased only last year by Mr . Green . Captain Dtiggan was an experienced officer , formerly in the Company ' s service , and had made several voyages to India . The first officer ' s name is Mr . Harvey . The following is a correct list of the passengers : -r-Mrs . Thompson and fonr children , Mrs . J . Jantins ami four children , Mrs . Major Jobnstone , Miss Turton , Major Jjohnstone , Mr . Marsnall , Lieutenant Marshall , Captainj MUner , Master Blake , and Master Reeves . | A private letter j dated Boulogne , Jan . 14 , gives the following particulars : —
" I beg to inform yon , that an East lndiaman , of 600 tons , came ashore , near Etaples , this morning . It is reported that eighty persons were aboard , of whom some were soldiere , their wives and children ; only one person has been saved ; bnt he is in such a deplorable state as not to be able to afford any information , A Norwegian , laden { with saitand oranges , from St . Ubes , becirme a total wreck within four miles of this port ; the crew ia lost . ] When this vessel came ashore at low water assistance was offered from the shore , but the crew would not abandon tbe vessel ; when it was impossible to receive any . aa th » tide was coming up , they requested assistance ; it was then too late to render them any . Aicollier is also a total wreck in this neighbourhood . " | About the same { period a Swedish vessel was wrecked near tbe spot , and jail hands perished ; and also an English fruit vessel with the whole of her crew . Three other vessels were also wrecked , and the crew of one of them drowned .

Fortunately , their plan w-ia discovered through the instrumentality of [ one of the crow . The subject was laid before the ofiteera , who immediately convened a drum-head court-martial , when it was decided that the safety of the vessel and tbe lives of all on board required immediate and exemplary punishment , The court ( decided that the midshipman and two of the ringleaders should jbe forthwith executed . Taey were accordingly bung at the yard-arm to strike terror t » the hearts of the crew . [ This strong and jdecHed measure restored the command of the ship to the officers , and the obedience of the men .

MUTINY ON BOARD THE U . S . BRIG SOMERSHANGING AT THE YARD AR . VI . This vessel arrived here on Wednesday , after her cruise on Ihe coast of Africa , and the city ia rife with rumours relative [ to an occurrence of a very painful nature wlrch has taken place ou board of her . Nothing official can of course transpire until we get authentic information from Washington . . We learn , however , that the crew of the Somers mutinied , being led on by one of the midshipmen . The plot of the mutiny was communicated to the comm ander , the details of which appear too horrid to be believed . We give tbema « we have heard them . '
The mutineers wjere to have a scuffle on the forecastle ia the night , while the Captain and first lieutenant were asleep . On tbe appearance of the latter to qu&'l the disturbance , he was to be seized and thrown overboard They were then to murckr tbe commander and tbe ward-room officers , with tbe exception of tbe surgeon , who was to be kept for their own use , and take possession of the vesjsel . After this they were to capture packets and other ships , and murder all the passengers , so that no soul should be left to tell the tale of their horrible villainy . ( For this purpose they were to rendevous off New York . The whole plan was in writing and copiously interlarded with Greek characters to prevent discovery , and the test oath of the mutineers was— " Do you swear that you have no fear of shedding blood ?"
Tlie affair occurred in the Atlantic , six or eight days ' sail from St . Thomas , where the , brig had touched for water and provisions on her return from the coast of Afriea . It waa arranged to take her there ao that the mutineers would be fully provided with stores for their piratical cruise . Too much praise ! cannot be awarded to Commander M'Kenzie and bis iofficers , for so promptly nipping in the bud an enterprise that would have brought misery and destruction upon hundreds of our fellow-citizens . This is the first occurrence of the kind on the record of our naval service ;
This is the only authentic account that can be given of the affair to- < iay . Commander M'Ketz e has gone to Washington to lay all tbe facts before the Government From ten tio twenty of the sailors , the ringleaders in the mutiny , are now in irons on board the North Carolina , to la wait their trial . The Somers is at tbe navy yard . She sailed hence a short time since , and was manned by forty or fifty apprentice boys and thirty or forty seamen . . I The Seiners is a ntw vessel , this being her first cruise , and has proved t « be one of the fasUst sailersin the service . Her construction , her siz ^ , and her ' speed are well adopted for a pirate . —iVett' York Herald . i

WANDSWORTH POLICE . ! Djieadfui , Case . —Yesterday , Daniel Williamson , thfl keeper of a boarding school at Kingston Newtown , wag placed at the dock , before Mr . Payntc . r , charged with committing a capiial offence , aud with general unnatural conduct towards his pupils . The prisoner is a man about thirty years of age , and possesses a heavy dodged-looking countenance . It was stated oil the examination , that a Fhort time since the p issuer was usher in a boardingschool where there ypere a great number of scholars . He there won the good opinion of many heads of f a mili e s and having saved some money ho opened a boarding-school at \ Kingston , and amongst his patrons and well-wish < rs were tbe parents of the children towards whom he has so misconducted
himself . Mr . K ., a highly respectable tradesman in London , is the father ! pf one of the bojs who has been nearly two years in Sthe school , and Mr . E .. who is also an extensive tradesman , is the parent of two others . The circumstance which lead to the discovery was this : —The day before the one appointed for the return of Mr . E ' s boys to school , the elder son threw himself at ] his moSber ' s feet , and implored her not to send hiin again to Mr . Williamson ' s scho o l , and said he would rather go out as an errand boy than return to that school . This extraordinary exclamation led to an immediate inquiry into the cause , and the boy j ultimately confessed that the prisoner had , through his unwilling instrumentality , been guilty ot the most heinous offence punishable by the laws of this country . The father , stung almost
to madness by the confession of his elder son , questioned the younger , a child only nine years of age , and towards him he ] ascertained that the prisoner had acted most abominably . Mr . E . im mediately communicated with Mr . K ., who , dreading that the contamination had extended to his own family , questioned his son , a lad of fourteen years of age , who ultimately confessed to such a series of abominable offences as to reduce his father to a state bordering upon madness , jit should be stated that the latter boy had returned to school a weak since , and these facts were drawn from him at the school , to which the father had proceeded with a medical gentiemau . j The first witness , Frederick K ., having g i ve n his evidence , which clearly proved the prisoner to have been repeatedly guilty of a misdemeanour .
Mr . Paynter asked the prisoner if he wished to put any questions to the witness 1 The Prisoner replied—The young gentlemen under my charge have ! always had the privilege of writing to their parents at any time without control . The witness says , be slept with mo every night after his return from his holydays . I admit that he did so , Dut it was because having moved into a newlybuiit house 1 was afraid of placing him in a room that was not thoroughly aired ; he might have had a separate bed if he had wished . Mr . Paynter indignantly said , no circumstances whatever could justify a master sleeping with his scholars . \ The elder boy of Mr . E having been called and examined , and given strong evidence of a capital offence having been committed ,
Mr . James Fernandtz Clarke , a sur g e o n , was call e d . H e st ated , that he had examined the last witness , but the result of the examination waa very unsatisfactory . With' regard to the other boys ht couid state nothing positive . Mr . Paynter asked ; the prisoner if he chose to ask Mr . E ' a younger son any questions ! T h e Pri s on e r . —I deny that I have slept with him for the last half-year , ( or on any occasion whatever , and on some future time I will produce a witness to prove that fact . '
Mr . E ' b younger son , a child o nl y nine years of age , was next ex a mi ne d as t o t h e p roceedings of the prisoner towards him individually . Mr . Paynter said it ! wonld be impossible to take the evidence fully that day , as the time of the Court was nearl y up , therefore he should remand the prieoner on the charge of ' felony . He should advise the prisoner to make no statement until the whole of the evidence had been taken down and read over . The Prisoner . —This gentleman ( pointing to Mr .
E ) was with me a week in December ; he ate and he drank at my expence , he sle p t in t he same room with his children ^ aud he was my most intimate friend , until a friend of his robbed me of £ 5 , which of course I made a noise abou t , and then he turns round upon me , and in conjunction with the » ther g en t leman , conspires to ruin me . What this charge may come to , or whatever punishment I may ultimately have to suffer , f I declare , upon my solemn oath , 1 am innocent of the crimes laid to my charge . The prisoner was remanded .

- _^—s ~ . Atbociods Mubdeb . —A most dreadful murdt * has la t el y been committted in the parish of Llanoa in this county , it is su pp osed b y one MargareV Hughes , and her daughter , Elizabeth Hughes , oa the bodies of two male infant children , of which the former was delivered about the beginning of the present month . We have not been able to collect the whole of the particulars of this most unnatural murder , but it appears that Matgaret Hughes , whose husband was transported , being one of the Scotch cat t le , at the time of the Merthyr riots , was de « livered of twins on or about the 1 st inst ., which , it ia conjectured , she and ber daughter threw into an old
coalpit close by . A few days afterwards the daughter feld one of her neighbours that she had dreamed that one of their children had fallen into the pit , and s aid i t would b e b ette r to have it fill e d u p , f earing aa accident might occur . It seems the daughter intended employing a person to fill it-up , which gave rise to a suspicion that something was wrong ; upon which E .
