GALES IN ENGLAND. The cablegrams in regard to the gales in England show that the effects have been most disastrous. There is known to have been a great loss of life, and the probability is that many deaths will go unrecorded for the reason that there is no means of checking them except by the bodies found. The property destroyed must of course run into a very large sum, but that is not of groat consequence as compared with the awful loss of life. It looks as if the “ Sychern ” predicted by Mr Wragge had struck the English coast, for certainly these gales have been “ raging in all their fury.” It is to be feared that when the gale has abated and a better idea oau be gained of tho life lost, the mortality bill will be found to be a very heavy one. Cablegrams this morning state that the known deaths are over one hundred, and tho probabilities all aro that the number will in time be found to run into hundreds. There will be world-wide sympathy for the families.
