The winds, which have been rising for the last day

or two to a furious gale, have already added to the list of disasters so recently witnessed. The latest accounts from Liverpool mention that the life-boat had been sent, with slender hopes, to rescue the crew of a wrecked schooner. One of the most curious accidents was the fall, yesterday, of a large truck, used to move blocks of stone, and weighing nearly three tons, off a high scaffold at the new London Royal Exchange. It damaged the scaffold, but luckily fell on none of the workmen.
