The alarm was . first created by soma children in the gallery , who , frightened by a terrific storm of wind and . rain , rushed from the chorch and raised a cry of "Fire l" A panic was the consequence ; in every direction the people
• were seen hastening from their places , the aisles became blocked , and the most frightful shrieks were heard from those who were thrown down and trampled upon in tbe outer passages . The rector for some time endeavoured in vain to calm the congregation , and to point ont the groundlessness of tbe alarm , while the efforts of the curate , the Eev . E . Day , vtho left the reading desk to lessen the disorder , were " equally fruitless . Fully a quarter of an hour elapsed before silence could be obtained , when the rector , after expressing his regret at what had occurred , briefly concluded tbe sermon and dismissed the congregation .

Great Fire At Manchester.—The Cotton Mil...
Great Fire at Manchester . —The cotton mill of Messrs . Frost ( a firm better known as Thomas Ogden and Sons ) , Manchester , was destroyed by fire on Saturday evening , by the watchman's lamp falling among the cotton in the creel between two self-acting spinning frames of 300 spindles each . The mechanic states that bis hammer came accidentally in contact with the private watchman ' s lamp , and knocked it out of his hand . He had been longer , in repairing tbe shafting than he expected on Saturday afternoon , in consequence of finding that a brass step on which the shaft worked was nearly worn through , and he had to replace it with a new one . The evening came , on , and he called in the private watchman to light him with his lamp . The five spread along the frame with great rapidity , and he sent the watchman for water , whilst he drew out the traversing
part of the spinning-frame and succeeded in putting out the fire upon that . The watchman returned saying he could find no water in the yard , and they then tried to get some water pipes on the stairs , but a boiler was undergoing repair at tbe other end of tbe mill , and the water had been turned off from the staircase pipes to supply the boiler . Each of them had been supplied with master keys , but they had not these with them , so that they could not unlock the door at the top of the staircase , which was the only resource for water after these repeated failures to get a supply . Thus nearly five minutes of valuable time was lost before the fire engines were sent for . The only portion of the mill saved was the engine-house ,., with a valuable new ninety-horse engine and boiler at the south end . The books
were also saved . The property was insured in the Royal ( Liverpool < ffice ) , for £ 3 . 250 ; in the Royal Exchange , for £ 6 , 500 ; in the Pheenix , for £ 6 , 500 ; and in the Liverpool and London , for £ 10 , 000 ; total , £ 26 , 250 . The loss is likely to be heavier than at first supposed , and is estimated at £ 30 , 000 . There were about 40 , 000 spindles in the mill , a portion of them throstles , and the remainder Potter ' s selfacting mules , which were new about thirteen years ago . From 250 to 300 hands will be thrown out of work . Explosion . —An explosion has just occurred at the lucifer match manufactory carried on by Mr . Griffin , of Bristol , at Chew-Stoke , Somerset , by which a portion of the roof was shattered , and four of the persons employed on the premises severely injured .
A Ship os Fire , —Colchester , Saturday . —A vessel , ori g inally engaged in the oyster trade , belonging to Oakley , which had been brought up at night and laid as close in shore as possible , was discovered , about seven o ' clock in the morning , by a person who wasrowing past in a boat , to boon fire . He gave an instant alarm , and assistance was procured from the shore , but all efforts were useless ; the vessel was soon enveloped in fhmes , and the fire had got such a hold of the timbers that the ship was obliged to be abandoned , and it was destroyed with all its gear . Tbe loss is heavy to the owner , as the ship was nearly his only
property . Destructive Fire at Gateshead-on-Ttsb . —On Monday morning a portion of the glass-works of Joseph Price , Esq ., adjoining the river Tyne , in Gateshead , was destroyed by lire , which originated in the joiner ' s shop on an upper floor , bat from what cause has not been ascertained . ' The fire was confined to what is called the Queen ' s Glass-house ; it 18 connected with the King ' s Glass-hoase by a warehouse filled with straw for packing , to which it was fortunately prevented from spreading by the efficiency with which the fireengines were worked . The premises and stock were insured in the Norwich Union Fire Office .
St . Aiban s Bkibkrt Commissio . v .- — Monday was the day appointed by the Commissioners for resuming the examinations of witnesses at St . Alban ' s respecting the bribery and corruption practised in the borough , but no proceedings took place , an intimation having been forwarded to the mayor by the commissioners that it is not their intention to resume the inquiry , it being now closed , in so far as the examination is concerned . RmroOBED Arming of the Rural Police . — A rumour has obtained currency amongst the rural constabulary within the last few days , that the Government have it in contemplation to arm the various bodies of the county police in this kingdom with guns and bayonets , after the manner of the Irish constabulary , and that the constables will in future be enlisted for a period of seven years . —Manchester Courier . : Sir Fitzroi Kblw and the Representation of Exeter . —For some time past vague rumours have been afloat in Exeter that the late Solicitor-General intended to solicit the suffrages of the electors at the next election . Nothing
positive , however , was known till Monday , when at "early dawn" the city was placarded with an address from the learned gentleman , stating , that having been invited by a large portion of the constituency , he had determined to offer himself as a candidate to represent their interest in Parliament . He declares his sincere and unalterable attachment to the Church of England in all its purity and integrity ; an attachment which he deems not incompatible with the universal religious liberty to which that church is itself , under Divine Providence , indebted for its independence and stability . Upon the important subject of the agricultural , commercial , and shipping interests , he says he hesitates not to declare his conviction that , under the circumstances which now press themselves upon public attention , it has become the bonnden duty of every legislator to lend his aid in Parliament to relieve the agricultural interest from the unduly oppressive burdens and severe distress under which he says they have so long laboured . There is every probability of the learned gentleman ' s return .
Charge of Murder against a Naval Engineer . —On Tuesday the Portsmouth bench of magistrates was occupied for several hours in hearing evidence in support of a charge of murder , brought against an engineer in her Majesty ' s service , named Thomas Blake , Barrow Peelj for the death of his father-in-law , John Perkins , quarter-master sergeant , of the Island of Ascension , on the 14 th of June last . The violence out of which death was alleged to have arisen was inflicted at that island , but the case had to be brought to England for trial by the civil power ; as it had not occurred at sea , but on shore , and within the British dominions ; neither could it be tried at Ascension , as there wa 8 no court capable of taking cognisance of such a charge . It appeared that on the night in question the prisoner and his father-in-law had been drinking and jesting together in reference to their respective professions , and that this XK K a S i ^ ^ without much injury to either , but shortly after the prisoner went to deceased ' s house , where it would seem a more serious rencontre took place . He shortlr left , when deceased was foiind . in a verv .
oau and exhausted condition . He was conveyed to bed . but soon died . The moruiog after the occurrence prisoner sent to deceased ' s for a sword , which was found to have Wood upon it ; and after deceased ' s death a sword wound was found m his left side , of which , it was alleged , ' together with other violence , he had died . The . evidence in the case is very joluminoae / and a large portion of it having been taken , tirapn ««« w a * remanded . •• ¦ •¦ . ¦ . ¦ 6
Great Fire At Manchester.—The Cotton Mil...
Coluem Explosion near MANCHESTER .-Anotherj hock . ing colliery explosion occurred on Monday morning , at Sigiey , near Maxtor , resultingin f ^ Zt „ r leS of ; three colliers , besides fourteen others more or less burnt , of whom two are at the pomtof ^ eath , and three others in a dangerous state . In all ; seventem persons ha > e suffered from . this sad occurrence . The pit where the accident occurred belongs to Messrs . Knowles and Stott , ar id is known by the name of the Cannel Mine ,. i he shaft is from 130 to 140 yards deep , and the working ^ extend ab ' out 200 yards from the shaft . It was original y ventilatedbyanoldshaft , about 200 yards distant , -with afurnace to assist ventilation , but has been rather noted for bad air ; and for some years ir was not unfrequently that the men " had to use their jackets to brush the inflammable gas out of their workings . At times , as we were informedI by a collier , they would experience the foulness of the ^ gas when descending ; and only half way down the shaft , a few months ago , a road was'driven through into Kersiey-nall minfi . fififWnrds distantand this to some extent improved . ,
, the draft . The colliers-usually went down with saletylamps , and tried the state ' of gas in their respective workings , although a fireman was employed specially for this work . On Monday morning tbe workmen , thirty to forty in number , descended soon after six o clock , and natt stripped , but scarcely got to their workings wheiv an explosion of a fearful nature occurred , a vivid flanwrusbing throughalltheworkings from the direction of the shaft , accompanied with a rush of air and a noise like low thunder which . lasted several minutes . It knocked down . iffiany of f . lin cnllinrs . and fhrew about the tubs and waggons With
such force that they were broken to pieces . It is believed that a collier named Henry Page hadJred the gas . He had last been seen with a naked candle , going to look in an old working , ( only eight or nine yards from the bottom of the shaft , and where there was lively to be a quantity- of gas collected , ) for a piece of clay with which he might make a socket for his candled After the explosion , allthe colliers made directly for the shaft ; some of them wrapping their flannel jackets round them for protection , and running on hands and feet to escape as much as possible the suffocating effects of the sulphur . ' Page was found within a few yards of tho shaft quite dead , and Thomas Lind ley and George Grundy , two other men , were taken out quite dead . Page
and Grundy have each left widows and five or six children . The other sufferers are , Thomas Lindley ( no relation to the Thomas Lindley before mentioned , ) single man , very badly burnt . Frederick Barrett , single man , badly burnt . Isaac Rarrett , badly . burnt and at the point' of death . James Morris , ' badly burnt and at the point of death ( the latter being a married man with three children ; but Isaac Barrett being single . ) And Squire Lindley , Joseph 'Warburton , William Seddon , James Lord , Samuel Seddon , Jeremiah Leech , Joseph Piatt , and another man , besides two hoys , all more or less burnt , some of them rather severely . An inquest was open on Tuesday on the bodies of the dead , but iras postponed till tbe Secretary of State ' s notice had expired .

State Of. The North.—Ih Addition To' The...
State of . the North . —Ih addition to' the reinforcements of military and police which were despatched to the disturbed districts in the middle of the week two troops of the 7 th Hussars and coma companies of infantry left Dublin on Friday for Louth , Monaghin , and Armagh ; and early on tbe same morning a detachment , consisting of three constables , two acting-constables , and twenty-five sub-constables , under the charge of Head * Constable Shannon , proceeded to Cro «» - maglen , county Armagh , on temporary service until further orders , fully armed , and equipped with extra ammunition .
Private accounts continue to speak with great alatm of the aspect of affairs in three at least of the northern counties . Persons have been freely mentioned as having fallen under the baa of the conspirators . Among the list of proscribed is a gentleman who has been a public benefactor by the extent of employment he has afforded to the peasantry and working classes ; and it is further reported that a lady possessed of landed property is compelled when leaving her house to take due precautions for her personal safety , her sex failing to protect her from the threats of the agrarian legislators . Five companies of the 62 nd regiment left Dublin on Monday for the disturbed districts , and farther reinforcements are held in immediate readiness for the same destination .
The "Monaghan Standard' states that four Poor Law guardians have received threatening notices , warning them that if they vote upon a certain measure contrary to the wishes of the agrarian legislators , the fate of the late victim to Ribandism awaits them . Pauper Emigration . —It appears from the proceedings of the Carlow Board of Guardians that steps have been taken towards the emigration of 600 paupers , and it has been resolved that none shall be eligible to offer themselves who shall have entered the house after the 20 th inst . This will prevent an influx of paupers for the purpose of emigration , and avert any inconvenience that may arise from a desire to participate in the benefits of the proposed plan without being duly qualified by a sort of probation in th « house .
Another Attempt to Assabsinatr . — As Mr . George Morant , the agent of the Shirley estates , in Monaghan , was walking in his garden on Friday , a gun was discharged at him by some person concealed behind the wall . The shot happily proved harmless , although Mr . Morant had a narrow escape , as some of the slugs with which the piece was loaded entered his hat . The scene of this outrage is close to the town of Carrickmacross . The " World" v . the Castle . —On Saturday counssl on behalf of Sir William showed cause against the conditional order for a new trial being made absolute in the ca «<
of " Birch v . Somerville " The full Court of Queen ' s Bench decided that the conditional order should be set aside , with costs . Death by Destitution . —On Saturday an inquest was held at Rushall , in the Queen ' s County , before John H . Owen , Esq ., on view of the body of a labouring man , named Michael Tohey , who had been found lying in a state of exhaustion by the roadside on the evening of the previous Thursday . The jury found the verdict to the effect that the deceased came by his death in consequence of destitution and exposure to cold , acting on a debilitated
constitution . Mr . Cbaubre . —There is no reason to doubt ( says the " Mail" ) that one of the persons in custody for the attack on Mr . Chambre is deeply implicated in tho murderoua deed . We stated in a former publication that a Ribbonman ' s card was found on his person , inscribed with Mr . Chambr 6 ' s-name , and his own underwritten , and bearing the ominous pass-word— " A deed is to be done . " Another discovery , serving to illustrate that proof , sheds some light also upon the source from which the Order , whose badge he bore , derives its inspiration , A fragment of a newspaper , in which refreshments were brought to the prisoner by a member of his family , has been compared with the wadding of the blunderbuss left behind by the assassins , and found to correspond precisely where it had been previously torn for that purpose . Tho rumour of the murderous attack on Mr . Morant , the agent of the Shirley estates in Monaghan , turns out to have been without foundation .
The Special Commission . — The " Freeman ' s Journal " gives the following account of the preparations made at Monaghan for the opening of tho Special Commission on Tuesday : — " Monaghan , Monday Night , Eleven o ' clock . — To-morrow being the day fixed for the opening of the Special Commission , issued for the trial of the persons charged with offences arising out of the unsettled relations between landlord and tenant in this county , the town of Monaghan during the entire of this day presented a scene of unusual excitement and bustle . Hundreds of people hsd assembled in the main street from an early hour , watching the arrival of the judges , who it was announced , would come by the ten o ' clock train to Castleblaney , where the sheriff , with an escort of Dragoons , was in attendance to receive them . The troops of the 1 st Dragoon Guards
paraded the town , and about 130 policemen and sixty soldiers of the 31 st Regiment ( infantry ) were under arms , anticipating an outbreak on the part of the people . Their interference however was not called for , the conduct of the people being marked by the greatest order and regul arity . The judges arrived in town at shortly after four o ' clock , and were conducted to the residence " of Mr . Adams , where apartments were provided for them . They started from Dublin by the ten o ' clock train , guarded by a large military and police force , which was swelled considerably at different stations along the line by reinforcements of constabulary . From Newtownweil station to Castleblaney policemen were to be seen patrolling tbe line ; and the cause assigned for this extraordinary precaution was , that possibly the friends of the prisoners and those who sympa .
• thised with them would tear up the rails , and try to upset the train . The majesty of the law was also indicated every second mile on tho road from Castleblaney to Monaghan , a ; distance of about eleven miles . Altogether the parade was ! most imposing , and contributed not a little to disturb the nerves of the peace-loving old women who witnessed it . The judges ( Chief Justice Blackburne and Chief Justice Monaghan ) were accompanied by the Attorney-General , the Solicitor-General , Sir Thomas Staples , Q . C ., Mr . SIHagan , Q . C ., and Mr . Kernan , who will prosecute for the Crown . Mr . M'Evoy Garland has been retained to watch the proceedings on behalf of Sir Robert Bateson , the next of km of the late Thomas Douglas Bateson , whose murder will form the principal caselto be tried at the commission . " "'
The latest account states that Mr . Chambre still remains in considerable danger . No improvement in hia symptoms has as yet taken place . The special commission issued for the trial of prisoners charged with agrarian crimes in the county of- Mona ° han was opened on Tuesday with the usual formalities . T here are two persons to be tried on the capital charge of the murder of Mr . Bateson ; their names are Francis Kelly and Owen Kelly . Other prisoners will be tried at the commission , but not unless the cases appear to have a connexion with the agrarian conspiracy or the Riband system . ilie Lord-Lieutenant has offered a reward of £ 90 for the arrest and conviction of any of the persons who , to the number of 300 , ; armed with guns , and firing shots , assembled ; at midnight ,, on the 20 th instant , on a hill in the T'ffi ? Y £ perlTea S " coun { y of Down ' Also , a reward of 480 for the arresuf-those implicated in the murder of a soman , named Henrietta M'Kiniay . at Castlebar .

. j " THE LATE DISASTROUS GALES . ' Hurricane in the CnANNEL .-On Saturday night it blew one of the most fearful gales in the English Channel ever known . The new West India steamer Orinoco , on its passale from London to Southampton , experienced its fullfury . The eale cameon justas the Orinoco passed Dover . Ihe sea wished over her funnels , and for three hours , although her enaines were going at full speed , she was enabled to matte but little way ahead . She took eight hours in running the twenty miles from the Foreland to Dungeness . Not a person on board ventured to retire to rest during the whole night . She proved a splendid sea-boat , or she could not have lived out the gale . She came up to Southampton water on Sunday afternoon after her fierce encounter of the preceding night in splendid style . It is feared that there must have been a creat loss of shipping and life in the English Channel . ! A fine brig , called the Guide , Mr . Russell , master , be « iro
longing to Stockton , was on a voyage to the inamesm Hartlepool , and when abreast of Cromer she encountered the formidable gale of Saturday . At length she sprang an alarming leak , and the most vigorous working of the crew ai the pumps failed in reducing the water ; Tremendous seas kept breaking over her , sweeping the decks , and carrying away everything moveable . As the evening advanced , she lost her steerage , and , catching a heavy blast of wind , w ! ent over on her beam-ends , and instantly foundered tn sime eight or ten fathoms of water . Tho crew had not the leastmeansofpreservingthemselveg . and , with the exception of the master , every soul on board perished . Mr . Russell contrived to make his way up tho rigging as the vessel was going down . He secured himself in the crosstrees , ahd after being in that position upwards of twelve hours , he was taken off bv the Inconstant , of Blyth , and landed n ' ear Yarmouth . When rescued he was in a most exhausted
condition . ' •' I Early on the morning of the same day another deplorable catastrophe occurred on the same coast . While tbe wind was raging with all its force from the south-west the Elizabeth , Mr . Negus master , which was on a voyage from the Tyne to London , came in collision with a bark in ballast . The ' violence of the shock may be judged from the fact that the -bark within five minutes afterwards foundered in deep water with every soul on board . The name of the ill-fated vessel could not he ascertained , and the formidable state of the weather prevented the Elizabeth making any prompt efforts to rescue , if possible , the poor fellows . TheEliiabeth lost her bowsprit , and sustained other damage by the collision . She cruised ; about the scene of tbe catastrophe as long as practicable , in the hope of picking up some of the crew of the bark ; but nothing of them or the wreck could be seen . The Elizabeth then made for Whitby , eight or ten miles distant , which she
reached in the course of the day . Tho Kentish Knock , a formidable shoal some thirfy miles from the estrance of the Thames , was the scene of a deplorable wreck . A schooner , named the Ann and Elizabeth , from Mog & dor to London , in beating up the Channel , was driven on the Knock , and the violent weather which was prevailing destroyed all chance of getting her off . She speedily became a wreck , and we regret to add that a passenger ( whose name has not been communicated ) and master were lost . The remainder of theorewand * second passenger were preserved by the Alpha , of Barking , which stood for Harwich , and landed them . During tbe gale the crew of the Earl of Errol , bound to Boulogne , which had sprung ' a leak and had foundered , sought refuge on the Kentish Knock light-vessel , and have since been taken off and conveyed to Deal . In the upper part of the Swin several sunken wrecks have been observed , but the fate of the ere ^ rs has not transpired .
The accounts from the Welsh coast speak of the gale having been very destructive . At Southampton it blew with tremendous fury the whole of Saturday night , so much so that the French mail boat from that port was unable to put to sea until Sunday morning . Partial Obstruction of the Whitehaven Junction Railwat . —A very serious injury was done to the Whitehaven Junction Railway on Saturday , the sea having washed down a high strong wall , and , rushing over the embankment , tore up the rails of some thirty or forty yards , and also destroyed the wall which protected the other side . The spot where the occurrence took place is about half a mile from Whitehaven station .
On Sunday afternoon we were visited by a thunder-storm , accompanied by a heavy gale and sharp hail showers . In the course of that day a portion of tbe paddle box of a steamer and the carcases of some awine were cast ashore near Horrington . During the oazb of Saturday night a gasometer recently erected at the gas works in Southampton , which contains 50 , 000 cubic feet of gas , was blown down . The escape of the gas caused serious annoyance in the neighbourhood of the factory . Frightful Tornado . —Saturday , the 24 th of January , 1862 , will never be forgotten by the present generation of the people of Nenagh . The whole night the rain descended in torrents , and at nine on Sunday morning one of the most frightful hurricanes ever witnessed swept through a
portion of the town , carrying away the entire roofs of houses and several chimneys at the same time . This frightful scene did not last more than one minute ; had it continued another , the entire town of Nenagh would have been a heap of ruins . After the storm ceased groups of people were to be seen , gazing in amazement at the wreck before them . The entire roof of the police barraolt , a new and substantial building , has been entirely swept away . Had it occurred at an early period of the morning there is no doubt but many of the policemen would have lost their lives , as several of the men were in the habit of sleeping in the room beneath . Never did Nenagh present such a dismal appearance as it did this morning ; every pane of glass and sashes smashed to pieces in several houses , the blinds in some pulled down , shutters closed , streets strewn with
fragments of timber and immense quantities of slates ; in fact , Nenagh looked as if a victorious army had passed through our town and had put the inhabitants to the sword . A few minutes before the tornado made its appearance a heavy rain and strong wind prevailed . This frightful hurricane resembled the noise of distant thunder , and whatever it came in contact with it levelled to the ground , or swept before it with indescribable power and velocity . It is a very curious circumstance that it pursued its terrific course through Castle-street and a part of Summer-hill only , where it ceased ; after totally unroofing the house of Captain Baldwin . The inhabitants of Barrack-street and many other localities did not hoar or know anything about this tornado until they appeared in the street , when they were horror-struck ' at the spectacle presented to their
view . It is with tho utmost delight we have to announce that no life has been lost . The dwelling of Mr . Bolton , solicitor , was made a frightful wreck of . The roof was completely blown off , and the windows , together with all the glass , sashes , tc ., were shattered to pieces . The rectory , the residence of th Reverend Mr . Wolseley , had about thirty panes of glass broken , one window smashed in pieces , and the roof broken in several places . Several others suffered severely , the roof and windows of each house being more or less injured . Mr . Jones ' s coach factory suffered severely ; the back premises were smashed in , and in the fall completely destroyed a valuable gig . The roof of Mrs . Chirles ' a house was broken by a huge beam of timber from the police barrack ; and the b
ack premises of Mr . Bull , clerk of the union , were completely riddled . Mr . Bolton ' s garden-wall was levelled at one side , and apple and pear trees were torn up . In fact , we may say that numbers of houses experienced very serious damage . As an instance of tho power of this dreadful storm , we may mention the fact that the mail coach , which was opposite Brundley ' s at the time , was swept across to the other side of tho street , and very near being driven in through Mr . Clancy ' s shop window . The sudden fright and alarm which this memorable tornado occasioned will not for some days be subdued . An immediate calmness , accompanied by heavy rain , occurred when the hurricane terminated . —Nenagh Guardian . _ GtAsaow , Wednesday . —The steam-shin Glasgow , which
sailed from the Clyde on the 10 th inst ., with fifty-four passengers and freight valued at £ 106 , 000 , returned here last night . She was struck by a dreadful sea on tbe evening of fuesday , the 20 th inst ., which carried away the starboard bulwarks , the wheel-house , and binnacle , and filled the saloon with three feet of water . Mr . Robertson , the second officer , was swept overboard and drowned . The first and third officers , the carpenter , and three of the crew were severel injured . Captain Stewart , therefore , thought it Sed ^ rTh ^' n J he hull <\ * e ¦ Wp . mdan \ nel * ZZ rlto ( fw £ ^ °£ > . ustD 0 ^ confounded with the Lity of Glasgow , " which is now loading at Liverpool . ! _ , . „ WTAL DISASTBRS ON THE COAST . ih ? 3 h *• ° - ° , M «» day ntebt and Tuesday morning he wind blew furiously on the Yotkah ™ «« . /« i ««« . *"

The Grove ft ? , Sunderland , encountered the full fury of the storm so , ? thirty or , forty miles from Flamborough Head , and the ere * had scarcely got away from the vessel in tho boat ere it ! went down . They were buffeted about the ocean fomif wards of two hours before they were picked up . As mavT imagined they were in a most deplorable state of exhausti ^ Many other casualties are reported to have occurred in th vicinity of the northern ports . Ki Notwithstanding the protection from the weather usual ! ,, found in tbe Downs , the gale seems to have caused mil
damage to the shipping riding in that anchorage . Several large sited vessels , bound foreign , slipped from their % l chors and chains , and coming in contact with each other sustained considerable damage . The ship Ra milies , % \ v . l Cape of Good Hope , was obliged to run back from the Dungeness Roads . Lower down the channel the gale JD , pears to have continued with uninterrupted severity . Alar « fleet is reported to be lying in the Portland Roads wUj . bound .
The Loss Of The Amazon,
THE LOSS OF THE AMAZON ,
Southampton , Wednesday . —A piece of a lady ' s dress , of a very beautiful fabric , with several holes burnt in fy 80 ( j which was fastened to a charred plank , was brought to the Mayor of Southampton yesterday , for his wor 8 hip ' aiMpection . It was washed ashore a ' tLulworth , in Dorsetshire . I { is probable that it formed a portion of a raft on which an escape , or an attempt at one , had been made . Intelligence was also received from Chmtchurch that % port life-boat of the unfortunate steam-ship Amaion * ai picked up and taken into Christchurch on Monday , and now
remains in charge of the Coast Guard at that port . It will be recollected that both the larboard and starboard life-bo « forward were stated to be on fire by many of the survivors who have already reached England ; it i » supposed , therefore , that the boat at Christchurch is the one in wiiich Lieutenant Gyrlls and his party succeeded in getting clear of the Amazon , and has been sent adrift either from the DnM galliot which picked up the party in the Bay of Biscay , g from the Revenue cutter which received the thirteen persons from the Dutch vessel , and took them into Ply . mouth
. An oflicial investigation into the circumstances of ifo disastrous loss of the Amazon has been appointed to take place under the superintendence of the Board of Trade . The investigation is being carried on in the Council Cham . ber of the Privy Council , which has been fitted up a % court of justice for the hearing of appeals and extension o patent cases . The directors of the company have , therefore , abandoned their investigation . —The Corporation oi London have voted £ 200 for the relief of the sufferers .
