THE GALE IN THE BLACK SEA. 
{By Submarine and British Telegraph.) 
The Ocstcrreichi sche Correspondcz contains the following 
disastrous intelligence from Constantinople, of the 20th, 
brought by the Trieste steamer Australia : — 
“ During the awful gale on the night of Nov. the 14th, 
the English lost thirty-two transports on the coast of the 
Crimea. 
"The fine screw-steamer Prince and the Sea Nymph 
foundered with all on board. 
“ Three smaller English steamers were stranded. 
"Of the vessels of war, the Sanspareil was driven on shore, 
though she had her steam up. The Britannia (Admiral 
Dundas) had five feet water in her hold. 
“ The Agamemnon (Admiral Lyons) was driven on shore, 
but managed to get off, and the engines of the Samson 
were seriously damaged. 
“ The Retribution was also stranded, but got off by 
throwing her guns overboard. 
“ The Terrible escaped without damage. 
" The French line-of-battle ship Henri Quatre and the 
Pluton were lost off Eupatoria, and another French steamer 
was dismasted. 
“ Both the besieged and the besiegers were acting on the 
defensive. 
“ Prince Napoleon was still at Constantinople on the 20th, 
where it was expected that the vessels ofthe fleets which had 
suffered great damage would arrive to be repaired. 
Balaki.ava. — “ All the steam squadron are off for Odessa, 
to have a turn with our friend there, as they have fortified 
that very strongly. But what an idfea, when we could have 
taken it with little loss ! We have given them time to get 
nearly 100 guns more mounted. I must now conclude, as 
the mail starts at once. In ray next, if spared, I shall tell 
you all about our taking Odessa.” 
Casualties in the Black Sea, &c. — T he Wynustay (trans- 
port No. 128), from London, with government stores, pro- 
visions, &c., has been wrecked near St. Stefauo Point ; part 
of cargo saved. The Sardinian brig S. Francesco di Paola, 
Ravauo ; Sardinian bomb, N. S. Della Misericordia, Boero ; 
and the French brig Nouvelle Fran^ise, Such, laden with 
provisions for the French army, were wrecked at Varna on 
the night of the 80th October ; crews saved. The Marie 
Melanie, DelayiS, and the bomb, Antionette Andromache, 
Grimier, with cattle (both French vessels), have been 
wrecked between Midia and Caraburnu. 
Liner Ashore. — I ntelligence has just arrived that the 
Jena, line- d-battle ship, is ashore off the Castle of Asia, in the 
Dardanelles, and that the William Penn, an American steam- 
transport, chartered by the French, and full of troops, is also 
stranded. 
Kiel, Holstein, Nov. 25. — On the arrival of the pilots for 
the St. Jean d’Acre and Princess Royal, these ships imme- 
diately weighed anchor, and have left this port for Spithead 
and Plymouth.

MILITARY. 
The Battle of Inkerman was fought and won entirely 
by the battalion officers and the soldiers. It is called in the 
camp "the Soldiers' Victory." 
Col. UlTON. — Letters have been received from the Hon. 
Colonel George Upton (nephew of the late Marchioness of 
Bristol), whose name appears in the list of wounded in the 
Coldstream Guards, stating that lie hoped to he fit for service 
in a few days. We understand the gallaut colonel’s escape 
was most miraculous. His horse was killed under him, and 
being the only man in a red coat, he was a continual mark 
for the enemy's guus. The command of the brigade of 
Guards has devolved upon Colonel Upton. 
Dr. Wilson and the Duke of Cambridge.— D r. Wilson, 
mentioned by Captain Kingscote, Lord Raglan's aide-de-camp, 
as uaviug saved the life of the Duke of Cambridge, by drawiug 
his sword and leading a body of men to his rescue, when his 
Royal Highness was surrounded by enemies at the battle of 
Inkerman, is a Scotchman. He is the son of a highly respected 
man in Stranraer, and was formerly in the 7th Hussars, 
where ho was much esteemed by his brother officers in that 
regiment. He is also an alumnus of the University of Edin- 
b urgh . — Ed i nburgh Co ura nt. 
The Horse Guards and “The Herald.”— The Horse 
Guards authorities are diligently employing themselves in 
circulating false reports. It was but yesterday the chief 
stated to a high personage, that Lord Raglan had 30,000 
bayonets under his orders. Eveiy man of common sense 
must bo aware that on the moruiug of the 5th of Nov. 
he had not 14,300 present under arms. The above statement 
having been repeated in the presence of a general officer 
just arrived from the Crimea, he observed that ou the 
morning of the 6th of November Lord Raglan had not 12,000 
bayonets present under arms. Now the plain English of 
this is, the Government in their meanness attempt to throw 
dust in the eyes of the British public, and to discredit Lord 
Raglan, by makiug out that lie had greater means at his 
command than he really had. Either Lord Raglan, was 
grossly wrong in not having more than 8,000 men at the 
battle of Iukerman, or the Government was grossly wrong 
in not supplying him with proper force and proper reserves. 
The public will know upon which horse to put the saddle.— 
Morning Herald of Thursday. 
Edinburgh. — The contributions to the fund in Edinburgh 
and neighbourhood amount to above ,£13,000. Ou Tuesday 
a motion was brought before the Town Council, by Council- 
lor Clark, to vote the sum of £200 to the fund out of the 
burgh revenues. The motion was opposed by Treasurer 
Dickson, Lord Provost Melville, Sir R. Arbuthnott, and other 
councillors, on the ground that the present state of the 
burgh funds would not admit of such donations, while the 
inhabitants generally had already made a liberal response to 
her Majesty's appeal. A long discussion ensued, when the 
motiou to vote the £200 was carried by a majority of 
seventeen to sixteen. 
Mr. Brace down stairs, and this person, with Mr. aud Mrs. 
Brace and their child, were the ouly parties who escaped by 
the entrance-door. All that the other servants could do 
was to offoct a rapid exit through one of the parapet win- 
dows, and by making the circuit of the atone coping round 
the building got ou to the roof of the adjoining warehouse, 
whence some were rescued by means of the lloval Society's 
fire-escape, and others were lowered by the “lift" attached 
to the premises. The inconvenience to the club, which is 
said to number nearly one thousand members, will be very 
gieat. 1 hey have lost uu extensive library of modern books, 
and some of the more polite members have also lost the 
wardrobes in which they wore accustomed to disport 
themselves upon “gala nights " and “ festive occasions,” for 
which this dub has obtained a remarkable distinction. It is 
stated that the building aud furniture of the club are insured. 
1 he Crown aud Anchor Tavern is noticed by Strype, writing 
at the close ot the seventeenth century, as “ a large and 
curious house, with good rooms, and other conveuieucics, tit 
for entertainments ' “Here," rays Mr. Peter Cunningham, 
m Ins excellent Hand-book of London, "Johnson and 
Boswell occasionally supped together. Here Johnson 
quarrelled with Percy about old Dr. Mouneoy ; aud here, 
when Sn- Joshua Reynolds was maintaining the advantages 
of wine iu assisting conversation, and referring particularly 
to himself, Johnson observed, ‘ I have heard none of those 
drunken— nay, drunken is a coarse word -none of those 
vinous flights.’ ” The house ceased to be a tavern in 1847. 
Major-General H. Bkntinck has arrived iu Loudon from 
the Crimea, and considering the severity of the wound — 
fortunately ouly a flesh one —he received at the battle of 
Inkerman, iu hotter health thuu might be expected. 
Robbery of Lord Raglan's War-coat. — Ou Tuesday 
night a box, containing a uew groat-coat for Lord Raglan at 
the seat of war, was ou its journey from the manufactory, to 
be conveyed to the railway station at Loudou-bridge, when 
it was discovered that the box, in which the property was 
deposited, had been stolen. 
The Admiralty will receive tenders ou the 15th iust. for 
the supply of 22,300 pairs of shoes, and ou the 9th iust. for 
500,0001bs. of preserved boiled beef. 
During the last few day upwards of 200 horses passed 
through the metropolis, iu chargo of detachments of Light 
Dragoons, from the northern and eastern counties, en route 
for the cavalry depot at Maidstone, where they will bo trained 
for the service. The animals are nearly all three-quarters 
broil, finely shaped, aud are principally buys and browns, 
with a few greys for trumpeters ; they are intended for the 
re-mounts of the additional troops to augment the several 
cavalry regiments iu the Crimea ; the average price of each 
is £28. 
The People's Light.— Nibb's Patent Lamps. — In these 
lamps the inventor, whose manufactory is at Bakewell, seems 
completely to have attained that greatest of all desiderata — 
a cheap, clean, and simple oil lamp, which furnishes a maxi- 
mum of light with a minimum of expenditure. Both the 
principle of the lamp and its result have a scientific basis. 
By a simple contrivance the fitting which IioUIb the glass is 
converted into a condensing cap, causing a current of air to 
play upon the flame ; aud, as a result, tlie total consumption 
ofthe oil. The light is perfectly clear, steady, and free from 
smoke ; and these qualities are not at the mercy of the ser- 
vant who may light it, for, unlike the equally beautiful but 
more troublesome French lamps, it cannot he lighted at ft 
wrong focus. It will consume common oil, and may be had 
from the inventor in all forms — from the conimou shilling 
lamp for the humblest cottage to the elaborate drawiug-room 
light and ornament for fifty shillings. Mr. Nibba lias pro- 
duced a valuable popular invention, and he deserves the en- 
couragement which the Society of Arts has afforded him, and 
the success which has already rewarded his labours. 
YEOMANRY AND MILITIA. 
The Suffolk Artillery. — This regiment is now under 
orders to prepare itself for permanent duty. The men will 
assemble at the ddpdt in Brook-street, Ipswich, on the 14 th 
of the present month. There are nearly 100 parishes in East 
Suffolk which have not contributed volunteers ; but within 
the last two years upwards of 950 men have been enrolled 
upon the system of voluntary enlistment. About 200 men 
are now required to complete the regiment. The new 
artillery barracks, intended to afford .accommodation for the 
regiment of Suffolk Artillery, will be ready by the time 
named for the reception of the regiment, with its stores, 
guns, &c. 
A further number of volunteers from the Monmouth 
Militia, seventy-five in number, together with Lieutenant 
Peirse, have volunteered for active service with the 23rd 
Fusiliers in the Crimea, aud have joined the ddpot previously 
to proceeding to head-quarters at Balaklava. 
During the last eight days a very large proportion of the 
South Lincoln Militia, at present stationed at Chichester, 
under the command of Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., have volun- 
teered into the Guards aud regiments of the line. 
The inhabitants of Bristol have petitioned the Home- 
office to be allowed to form a volunteer rifle-corps, and a 
similar desire exists in Sheffield. 
METROPOLIS. 
Destruction of the Whittington Club-House by Fire. 
— The range of premises occupied by the members of this 
club, extending from Arumlel-street into Milford-lnne, and 
running almost parallel with the church of St. Clement's 
Daues, in the Strand, was totally destroyed by a fire, which 
broke out about half-past five o'clock on Sunday morning. 
With this structure has fallen all that remained of the once 
famous Crown aud Anchor Tavern — the favourite scene of 
metropolitan political meetings during the latter part of the 
hist aud the early years of the present century. The fire 
was of a most destructive character. Indeed, several female 
servants would iu all probability have perished had they not 
succeeded in mounting the roof of the printing promises of 
the Illustrated London News, whence, after incurring gieat 
danger, they at length descended to the street iu safety. 
The discovery was made by Mr. Brace, secretary to the club, 
who, with his wife aud child, was sleeping iu one of the first- 
floor rooms. He was awoke about ten minutes to six o’clock 
by a loud crackling noise as of wood burning, and hastily 
arousing his wife, he ran up to the upper floor and called the 
servants, nearly twenty iu number. The fire, which had 
evidently originated in the kitchen-department on the ground 
floor, had made great progress before Mr. Brace was aroused, 
and before the servants could descend the whole interior 
was in flames. Ouly one man-servant succeeded in following
