Sevjbrb Gaxk at Ddnbdin.— One of the most severe gales experienced for years visibed Dunedin on the 3rd inst. Considerable damage was done to the shipping in the harbour, and various places in the city also suffered. Nine or ton watermen's and pleasure boats were swamped afc their moorings. The schooner Jane AndersoDj with cargo and ready for sea, was blown from the old jetty to the .beach in front of the gas works, where she went aground, Tho Pioneer forced away one of the piles at the old jetty, the ballast lighter. Just in Time sank at her moorings and bad her boat smashed, and the old dredging machine drove until she brought up by the jetty. The new dredge was well moored, and held her ground. On shore the casualties were numerous, chimneys being, blown down, roofs taken off, and damage done in other wayp. At the Stuart-street jetfcy the schooner Pride, owner Captain Bain, was driven against the jetty and sunk. She now lies with several feet of water in her hold. From the ■arne jetty a large number of flooring boards, which ware .piled up thsre, and which fyslonged to Messrs. Black and Thomson, were -washed away % the sea, which waa breaking over the raclaimed land, and many of them were carried into the basin. The gale was likewise felt in othei' parts of. thp province. A collision has occurred in tho Strait* of Sir^onosaki between the screw steamer Adeline and the Japanese steamer Shoo-e-leen. r J he Adeline, whioh was under Japanese oharter at the time, received such serious damage as to compel her to return to fliogo and transfer her passengers and cu-gn to -another ship. Tha Sfworg-lsen eioaped without; any material da/nage, Coal Tar fob "Shiss> B.Q-pio^s.r^Tbe Adelaide Advertise)' says:—" The Dunnikier slipba^fa* the, past few days been occupied by the ste&m dredge, fiom the inner bar, whioh was taken on for the purpose of scraping and overhaul, after being for twelve months m the water. . It ban 'been usual t» cover her with some patent composition, but when last treated ib ooeured to Mr. Taybr, the foreman of works, that coal tar would bo equally efficacious, especially if the vessel jjrere launched before the second application had become perfectly dry. This •ourae was' adopted, and the result is highly in favour of coal tar, its surface being covered with polyp; and other marine fauna, but the oxjdation ©f the iron has not proceeded to any extent, sod the surface of the tar i« unbroken. Tba nupeess of the experiment in such that it will bsrfpisated on thig opcasign, and it is intended to launch b^er again £o..day.'' On the departure of the Peninsular and' Oriental Company's R.M. c.v. Avoca from Sydney for Melbourne, on Saturday morning last, a melancholy ■accident occurred, by whioh Frederic Green, -an A.B, seaman, lost his life," The steamer was just rounding Sydney Heads; and Green, (who was out on the tibboQK at .tho time) lost his hold, and fell right in the>w*yjQf"'%e* steamjsir'is cnfcwafcer. Life, buoys were f>)b once thrown to him, bn£ as he ca^je up he seemed powerless to lay hold of anything j and from the gashed aod bleeding appearftnpe of the back of his head and neck, it in supposed that he mua, have come in violent contact with some part of the steamer. lojitanl! ««d diligent BWoih w«l

made for the poor fellow by the steamer's boats, but without avail, as he «ank almost immediately. GreeD,.aithougli a comparatively yoang rnnti, had been for many years in the vessel?,. and was well liked/,- '$he occurrence^ it ia scarcely ne« oeßsary to say, Lad a depressing effect on ail on board. — Argus, January & —
