PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 4. Another heavy gale of wind has been blowing here throughout the day from the south-east, with a fierce sea. The mid-day tide was one of the highest known for a long time, and flowed a considerable distance up the High Street, through East Street, and completely covered some of the most exposed landing places, such as Stony Steps. The sea beat with great violence along the wall facing iouth, and made continuous breaches completely over Blockhouse Fort, and alongitbe seawall on the Haslar abore. The sea in the Channel was very heavy, and all boat communication between Spiihead and the shore was prohibited by signal from the Dockyard Semaphore Sta- tion. About three o'clock a collier schooner broke from her moorings while anchored astern of the Victory, and Was driven by the strength of the gale across the stern quarter of the flag-ship; but owing to the prompt assist- ance sent from the ship to the schooner no damage was done. The Enchantress, Admiralty yacht, Staff-Commander Petley, was taken out of the steaui basin this morning at eleven o'clock. The wall of No. 9 dock in the royal dockyard has given Way dangerously to-day. ADMIRALTY, DEe 6. ApPOINTMENTS. Master: William B. Goldsmith, to the Asia, for the Simoom. Second Masters—George Alex.

------CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. We do not consider ourselves responsiblefor the tpuuont and sentiments of our Correspondents .^R,As an inhabitant in the neighbourhood, I wish through you columns to draw attention to state of the drains and sewerage of Little Haven. Manure heaps and all sorts of filth are allowed 10 accumulate, as the people say they have no or proper places to put them. Fever hich has been more or less in the village all the iQintier, seems (notwithstanding the cold weather set in) to be rather on the increase than other- several families are laid up with it. Culess something is done by the landlords (for 3 tenants are too poor) to remedy these defects, th entirely prevent visitors from locating ♦veDn?e^Ves there, and prove of serious injury to 0f6 P™ce> which otherwise, and with the prospect tin* fa^roa<^ coming so near, would probably soon e one of importance. I am, Sir, AN INHABITANT IN THE VICINITY* G. W. GORDON'S INSURANCES.—We (Star) have heard with satisfaction that the directors of the Star Insurance Company, with whom the life of the late Mr Gordon was insured for £ 2500, have unanimously resolved to pay over the amount at once to his widow. The policy would naturally become void in the case of a man executed as a felon; but the directors of the Star Company have, we are informed, decided that Mr Gordon's case is simplv that of a man unlawfully slain. A FOOT RACE ON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—A number of persons assembled on Westminster Bridge at twelve o'clock on Friday night, to witness a running match acainst time, in which Mr Bartlett, the cricketer, under- took to run the length of Westminster Bridge within the time occupied by the Victoria clock in chiming- the four quarters and striking the midnight hour. The betting was six and seven to four on Mr Bartlett, who started on the western side of the bridge, at the base of the clock tower, and passed the winning post at the tenth stroke of the hour. NARROW ESCAPE OF A LIFEBOAT CREW.—SHIELDS, TUESDAY.—During Sunday and Monday severe gales from the south-east were experienced upon this coast. A very large fleet of laden vessels is in the Tyne and adjacent ports, detained by the weather. A brig. the Harriet, of Plymouth, was stranded on the Hard Sand, and has broken up during the night. A life-boat crew had a narrow escape from death after putting a salvaee crew on board the ship to attempt to get her off. The boat is named the William Wake, and she was fully manned. She broached to in a sea, and lost every oar overboard but one, and a man named Andrew Nelson was washed out of the boat. He could not swim, but he clutched an oar. The men in the life-boat could render him no assistance, and he was tossed about by the waves some time. At last, however, he was washed under the ship's quarter, and a line was thrown to him. He laid hold of this with his teeth, and, still clutching the oar, he was drawn by the teeth into the vessel. It was some time before be could close his jaws after he was got on board. But ultimately he recovered, and is quite well again. The life-boat men managed to pick up three of their oars, and with the four oars they succeeded in getting back to in the harbour. They bad an extremely narrow escape, however, from death. The salvage crew left the vessel as soon as she began to fill with water. THE DEAD FROM THE WRRCK AT GUNWALLOE,— Four bodies have been washed ashore near Tremearne, in Breage. It is probable they all belong'-d to the Brazi- lian barque Statists, which was wrecked in the gale of Friday week at Gunwalloe. A body was picked np on Monday, and identified by one of the survivors as that of a native of Brazil named Cordoza, who was a seaman on board the ill-fated ship. At the place where this poor fellow was found the cliffs are very precipitous-nearly two hundred feet high—and the beach if only approached by a narrow gorge, most dangerous to traverse. A strong coffin was procured from Porthieven, and slid down the rocks. The body was then placed in it, and the lid se. curely screwed down, but it was a work of much difficulty to get it to the top of the cliff. Police-constable Guy, of the county constabulary, and eleven men, did their ut- most to drag it up, it being impossible to carry it through the little track. The interment took place at Breage churchyard, when the vicar, the Rev E. M. Pridmore, officiated. The current brought the other bodies in near the same place later in the week. One, which was not carried above high water mark, was washed out again, and up to Saturday night had not been recovered. It seems there has been great difficulty in getting people to assist in this hazardous work, and the bodies being de- composed, it requiries strong sympathy and good nerve to induce men to leave their daily pursuits for such a pur- pose. There is no fund from which remuneration can be made, or the parish officers would willingly make a grant. The police have exerted themselves night and day for the last fortnight, and the Coast-guard have done all that men could do in endeavouring to preserve life and pro- perty. No cases calling for interference of the magis- trates have been reported on the eastern portion of Mount's Bay, though the people are needy, and a rough winter taxes them solely. The cargo of the William, of Sunderland, wrecked in Porthleven Harbour, was sold on Friday. It consisted of wheat from Odessa, and was all damaged, and realised about 10s per quarter. The hull was advertised for sale on Monday. FALL OF A RAILWAY VIADUCT.-On Sunday morning, at a quarter to six, the viaduct between Brockholes and Thongsbridge near Holmfirth, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, gave way and fell to the ground. The viaduct consisted of about thirteen arches, and was two hundred yards in extent. Whilst the viaduct has been undergoing extensive repairs, the traffic from Brock- holes to Holmfirth has been conducted by means of a single line; but the masonry, if not completed, was on the point of completion, platelayers were laying the metals, and it was expected that the new double line would be opened for general traffic in a few days. The viaduct yielded in the centre, and the whole of the arches, from one end to the other, fell in with a tremendous crash. The Thongsbridg station master, after discovering the nature of the accident, went to Brockholes Station, aud gave information of what had happened. It is very fortunate that the viaduct fell at the time it did, or the sonsequences would doubtless have been frightful, the first train to Holmfirth being due at Brockholes at seven o'clock. The telegraphic communication does not appear to have been interfered with. The wires still span the abyss, but the posts have been carried away. Mr Henry Wadsworth, contractor, Holmfirth, had undertaken the works. Up to Sunday evening, the cause of the fall bad not been ascertained; but, it is supposed the foundations of the new viaduct had been weakened by the rivulet which runs through the middle of the arches. Railway traffic between Brockholes and Thongsbridge will, in consequence of this casualty, be stopped for some time.— On Saturday, about sixty men were at work on it, and late at night a ooal train, weighing about two hundred tons, passed over it. The middle arch of the viaduct appears to have given way, and then the whole of the two hundred yards of masonry and woodwork fell toward the centre, damming up the stream which ran beneath it, and cutting off the supply of water to a corn mill be- low. At the Holmfirth end the masonry has given way, as if cut with a knife, at the other end a few yards of the old wooden viaduct is still standing with the ends of the rails projecting over the abyss. On Tuesday a line of omnibuses commenced running from Brockholes to Holmfirth, for railway communication will be cut off for months—there were fourteen trains daily-and it is expected that goods will be delivered at a siding near the fallen viaduct. The loss will be somewhere about £ 7,000. The viaduct was nineteen feet high. A FEMALE SAILOR.—Captain Lane, of the Expedient, now lying in the Victoria Dock, Hartlepool, furnishes the following facts relative to the eccentricities and way- wardness of a woman who had abandoned her home for the roving life of a sailor. Her statement, made at Palermo, is as follows:—4 My name is Charlotte Petrie, born at Aberdeen in 1846. After the death of my grand- father I went to reside at Newcastle with my uncle, but shortly afterwards returned to Aberdeen, where I re- sided as servant in two or three places. The mate of the ship Mary Gardiner, of Cape Town (named David Robarts), took me from a factory where 1 was working, and placed me aboard a vessel which sailed from New- castle, dressed in boy's apparel, and shipped me as cook's mate. On arriving at Newcastle I left the vebsel and worked as a boy in Haggie & Co's establishment, under the name of William Bruce. After this I lived for three weeks in a shoe establishment with Mr Pilburn, late Col- linson. I then shipped aboard the Mary Ann, of Ber- wick, bound for Dundee and back to Newcastle. I then shipped on board the Expedient of Poole, Captain Lane, as ordinary seaman, at 40s per month, and cashed my advance note at Mr J. Kettle's, outfitter, 20, Quayside, Newcastle. The Expedient left Shields July 6, 1864, arrived at Palermo on the 17tb of August. During the passage I performed my duties as an ordinary seaman, not the least suspicion having arisen among my mates during the whole voyage; but when in the harbour my sex was discovered, and the captain kindly took me to the British Consul. I expressed my urgent wish to per- form the voyage according to the ship's articles, which was sanctioned by the British Consul. I then proceeded to Alicante (?) to load sulphur, thence to London, where I was paid off.' Such is tbe episode of the life of Char- lotte Betrie. Captain Lane has been recently informed that 'William Bruce' is at present working in a lead factory near Newcastle.—Northern Daily Express. A VERDICT BY A MAjoMT.—On Wednesday, an action in the Court of Queen's Bench was tried in the Secondaries' Court, before Mr Potter, I Platt v. Captain Underwood,' of the 2nd battalion of the South West Vo- lunteers, stationed at Hounslow, in which the sum of j613 7s 6d was sought to be recovered. The defendant, an adjutant of the corps, had given a guarantee to the plaintiff, a woollen draper, St Martin's-lane, to supply cloths to make uniforms until the Government money was obtained. The action was commenced, and Captain Underwood served with a writ, after which he paid the plaintiff by a cheque. The action, nevertheless, pro- 4( ceeded, and the Captain pleaded that the cheque was given in full discharge of debt and costs. It was alleged by the plaintiff, that the defendant was to settle the costs with the attorney. The evidence on this point, however, was very contradictory. The jury consulted together for some time, and then announced that they could not agree, nine being of one opinion, and three the other way. The jury were asked if they would be looked up, but, they said that would be of no use, as they should not agree. The Secondary thought that in such a case the parties to the suit might take the verdict of the majority. Mr Edward Johnson, on the part of Captaia Underwood, was willing to take the verdict of the majority, and Mr Taylor concurred on the part of the plaintiff. The foreman said nine were of opinion that the cheque was given in full discharge of debt and costs. Mr Secondary Potter said that in that case the verdict would be for the defendant. CURIOUS RELIGIOUS CEREMONY.- On Monday three gentlemen, who were all formerly clergymen of the Church of England, namely, Dr H. E. Manning, formerly archdeacon of Chichester, now titular Archbishop of Westminster the Rev G. B. Yard M.A., formerly rector of East Torrington, Lincolnshire and the Rev W. H. Anderdon, M.A., formerly vicar of Leicester, were engaged in doing honour to the last newly-accepted dogma of the Church of Rome, in the Church of4 The Immaculate Conception, Farm-street, Berkeley-square.' It being also the feast of St Francis Yavier, there was a highmass at eleven o'clock, with a sermon by Mr Anderdon. The saint was a disciple of Igna- tius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. In 1541 he set out with some followers to preach Cbristi- nnitv in the Portuguese colonies in Asia. In the following year he landed at Goa, formerly the capital of the Portuguese settlements in India, where as well as along the coast from Cape Comorin to the isle of Manaar, be obtained many thousand converts. He subsequently laboured at Malacca, in the isle of Ceylon, whose king he converted, and in Japan. It was announced that there would be a triduum on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the feast of the Immaculate Conception, on which day there would be medi- tations by Father Christie. On Friday, the day of the feast, there is to be high mass, Coram pontifice, the celebrant being Dr Morris, Bishop of Troy, and the preacher Archbishop Manning in the morning, Mr Yard in the evening. t MRS YELVBRTAN V. THK 'SATURDAY REVIEW.'—EDIN BURGH, WEDNESDAY.—This libel case is concluded. Th< jury were absent six hours, and by a majority of 9 to 4 returned a verdict for the newspaper. The verdict wa- received with hissing in court. Two CVSES OF SACRILEGE.—On Friday night last St Paul's Church, Bethnal-green, was broken into, and thi srowns of the two ministers, one of them a valuable sill- one, with cassook, presented to the Rev J. Wilson In Jon- last, two hoods and scarves, besides some trifling articles. were stolen. The boxes were also broken open, but for- tunately had been previously emptied of their contents On Sunday afternoon a little boy, grandson of the sextnn. overheard one of a party of men say that he took thi irowns, and they laughed at the state in which they had left the church. This being reported to the curate, he sent for the police, who were a considerable time in arriving but directly they were seen in the distanoe the men took to their heels, closely pursued, however, by the Rev J. Wilson, who succeeded in securing one and handing hini over to a policeman, who soon after let the fellow go, first setting his address, bnt making no further inquiries On Sunday morning last, at about two o'clock, Christ Church, Watnev-street, Commercial-road, East, was also broken into by thieves. They effeoted an entrance throueh the vestry window. They were fortunately seen by a lady living in Colet-place (the back of which looks upon the church), who immediately gave an alarm bnt, although the police were prompt in arriving, the thieves managed to escape. They, however, forced a drawer in the vestry, and obtained a cash-box, which they broke open, but it happened very fortunately that the contents had been distributed among the poor of the district on the Wednesday previous, with the exception of about one shilling and sixpence. Being disturbed so soon they did not have time to enter the church. No trace of the thieves' whereabouts has yet been found oat. LORD ELCHO ON THE NEGRO INSURRECTION.—Lord Elcho occupied the chair at the dinner of the United East Lothian Agricultural Society, beld at Haddington, on Monday, and in his remarks regarding the Volunteers referred to the high courage and excellent conduct dis- played by the Volunteers in Jamaica during the late outbreak. He said, after reading certain articles that were written, and speeches which were made, by a small but noisy portion of the community of this country, he confessed that his blood somewhat boiled with indigna- tion. When without sufficient data, without information, writers in the press, sitting In their arm-chairs, in the safety and quiet and comfort of their homes, denounced their fellow-countrymen who had been exposed in Jamaica to these great perils, and called down vengeance on their heads-when he beard of orators, after a com- fortable dinner at Manchester or Blackburn, branding Governor Eyre and our fellow-countrymen in Jamaica who bad to struggle with and overcome these great perils -when he saw this, he said his blood boiled at seeing men in such positions branding those in the colony as cowards and murderers. Inquiry into these proceedings at Jamaica bad been demanded, and he trusted the inquiry would be searching, because he was convinced that the more searching it was, the more would Governor Eyre be justified for the oourse he had taken in saving by his courage and presence of mind that possession to the British Crown, and the lives of every white man in it. Every man who read Governor Eyre's speech to the Legislative Assembly would see that that was not the speech either of a coward or an assassin, and the Legis- lative Assembly, in their reply to him, showed that they had at least thought he had acted rightly and properly in the ciroumstances of the case. He. therefore, hoped that this inquiry would take place, and he had little doubt that all they bad heard about the cruelties that had been practised by our fellow-countrymen in that distant land would prove to be measures that were absolutely called for by the exigencies of the circumstances in which they suddenly found themselves placed. Why did he touch upon this question ? For this reason-What was public opinion ? Public opinion was formed by what appeared in the press either in the form of speeches or articles. Now, there was a section of people in this country who attempted to make up in noise what they wanted in influence, and by constantly putting themselves before the publio. If, therefore, no contradiction was given to statements made by this party, judgment, as It was said, might go by default, and erroneous impressions might get possession of the public mind.

SOMETHING TO REFLECT UPON.—How many Bad dis- appointments have been experienced by ladies, when they chanced to get bad starch. Let such of our lady readers as have suffered in this way, prooure the GLENFIELD STARCH.-It is exclusively used in the Royal Laundry, and pronounced by Her Majesty's Laundress, to be the finest Starch she ever used. It was awarded the Prize Medal for its superiority. Let the ladies only give it a trial, and they will find it fully deserves the great fam i it has universally acquired. The manufacturers have much pleasure in stating that they have been appointed starch Purveyors to H. R. H. the Princess of Wales. When you ask for GLENFIELD STARCH, see that yon get it, as inferior kinds are often substituted. TOOTH: ACHE arises from various causes, but the most common kind is that where the enamel and bony sub- stance is decayed and exposes the nerve, which is then liable to be attacked by cold, or injured through coming in eontact with some foreign substance; and in such cases BCNTBK'S NERVINB will give INSTANT RELIEF. Testimonial from E. Smith, Esq., Surgeon, Sheraton, near Cirencester. I have tried BUNTEB'S NERVINB in many cases of severe Tooth-ache, and in every instance permanent relief has been obtained: I therefore strongly recommend it to the public.'

AT the Census of 1851 the population of tbe parish, was 905; by the year 1861 it had increased to 1745f and at the present time it is estimated at 2,000 So rapid an increase of people, almost, twofold in ten years, calls for immediate increase of Church accom- modation. Something has already been done: the Church has been lately restored, and in the year 1863 a south aisle for eighty additional worshippers was added, and its well-filled seats testify that it was net added need- lessly. But the population has increased principally at the eastern side of the parish, at Neyland and Honeyboroueb, where quite a new town has arisen. At present Divine servise is held in the New Schoolroom, at Honey borough, twice a week, on Sunday and Wednesday. Hat t Churc is much needed, and will be bailt as soon as £ 1,400 cae. be raised. Contributions towards this Church are earneatlj soli cited, and will be thankfully received.

—— LonlJ, Allen, & Co. are exceedingly busy in their western dock. The ship Cit. of Carlilse, 1,000 tons burthen, be- longing to Messrs Crouch and Co., Bristol, Is receiving extensive repairs and being reclassed. The brig Matilda, of Belfast, which was so roughly handled by the recent gale, is also being repaired and having new rigging set up. The schooner yacht Dream, belonging to Messrs Elking- ton and Co., is receiving a thorough refitting. A cutter yacht belonging to the Hon. Mr Yelverton is also in dock. The spare lightship from the Trinity Works, Pembroke, is receiving a thorough overhauling. The schooner Aurea is being reclassed, and under the eastern abed a new composite ship (wood and iron), of five hundred tons. is being constructed for Messrs Beynon and Co., Newport. From this it will readily be seen that our port is progressing rapidly, and we hopo ere long to see other shipbuilding yards springing up in the neighbourhood, and that better and brighter days are in store for Milford Haven. SLAUGHTER HOUSES FOR PEMBROKE DoCK.-We are given to understand that commodious public slaughter- houses will shortly be erected at this place. This is a consummation devoutly to he wished, as the sanitary state of the town is anything but what it ought to be. The town has no drainage whatever; and this, coupled with the pigstyes, foul gutters, and private slaughter houses, makes certain portions of the town anything but desirable as a locality to reside in. We are therefore glad to be able to state that a committee of influential gentlemen having taken the sanitary state of our thriving town into consideration, Mr T. Meyrick of Bush, ever ready to assist in any laudable undertaking, has promised a site for the slaughter-houses at Hill farm, which is situate on high gronnd a little way south Cast of the town. The Lords of the Admiralty have promised to apply to Parliament for a grant for the necessary funds for their construction. Suitable plans have been prepared by Mr T. Clarke, C,E.. Royal Engineers' Office, and by Mr Churchward, C.E., her Majesty's Dockyard, and submitted for their Lordships' approval.
