Although we have now to chronicle the loss of fourteen more veesels, weare happy to state that they do not, probably, involve the loss of any more lives, It appears by our special despatches that the storm of Saturday night last was more disastrous to vessels bound to this port than that of the Sth inst. It not only broke up und scattered those driven ashore in the first storm, but it added fourteen or fifteen more vessels to the list of wrecks, namely :— Ehip John Stroud, Brig Nebraska.

The crow, consisting of six men, through the almost superhuman exertions of Gil- Lert B. Miller, coast inspector, John Lewis, Halsey Ro- gers, David Bejamin, John Seaman, Sidney Still, John Hicks, and John Wright, manning the government life boat No, 11. The beat filled with water after reaching the wreck, apd all hands came very near being lost, Too much eredit cannot be awarded those brave men for risking their own lives in endeavoring to save their fellow beings from a watery grave—as this credit is probably all they will receive, and probably is all they demand. Vessel said to be partly insured. The ship Stingray, Capt. Kirby, from Canton, \ying a few rods west of the Rio Grande, broke up last night during the terrible storm, and her catgo, consisting of allks and teas, is scattered along the beach, excepting a part taken away yesterday by the steamtug Titan and wreeking schooner H. W. Johnson. The steam pump put on board yesterday is lost overboard. Loss and de- struction of property is all the soene. ‘The weather has been so intensely cold that few persons could get at the place of disaster, and those few have un- cergone great suffering and privations, Capt.

We Jearn from Mr, Walters that intelligence has been received that thd ship John Stroud, from New Orleans, for the port of New York, is ashore on the Rockaway beach. She was laden with flour, beef and wheat, con- signed to J. W. Elwell. Fin IStANp, Jan. 13—12 o'clock. A. B. Nureox, Fsq.:—The ship Stingray broke entivoly thix morning, and most of her cargo is on the beach. The tide ia running acros# the beach, and the cargo i weattered for miles. The men are at work securing the cargo. It iy very bad working for the mien, being in the water among broken pieces of ice, but they work cheer- fully, and I hope to save all the cargo that comes to the beach, A part of the ehip lays in the surf, with her anchor at the bow. What is left of the ship is held by the cable. I wrote you by the Titan that we should put the pump on board, which was done, and it is now among the ruins. We may recover it alter the sea goes down. The H. W. Johnson left here about 8 o'clock last night with apart of the curgo. She had» bad night, but may have reached the Hook before the hardost of the gale, We shall get the cargo together as fast ax possible. We are almost entirely shot off from the main land, but shall get slong quite well. I have sent to the Kastward to got some seamen to haul the cargo. The inlet is now open, #0 that we can load inside. We shall want plenty of lighters, but no steamboat, except to tow the lighters bore. One of the lighters should have six luggermen, to save what we can of the ship’s material. We shall not ‘want any more stores than the extra mon in the lighters need, neither shall we want # clerk unless one can come without mach inconvenience. The schooner Rio Grande, Captain Joel Norton, of l’ort Jefferson, with oysters, eame ashore this morning, and all hands landed on the beach. The schooner is beating up with the tide. Please let mo know to whom the cargo is consigned. The mon will be needed here constantly. Thave concluded it would be best to send four barrels of brea’, a barrel of beef, come hams, and four barrels of potatoes. In haste, ORLANDO BENNET. I forgot to mention that about 150 casen of ailk are Linded in good order on the beach, and about the same numbor of tea. VESSELS ASHORE ON THE JERSEY COAST. SPROIAL DESPATCHES TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lone Branen, Jan. 12, 1866. I write to inform you that there is a brig ashoroon the south aide of Squan Inlet; a schooner about two miles north of the infet, named the Kinvoy, Capt. A. P, Collins; cargo, fruit, coffee and rum; crew saved. Thore ia also a dark ashore on the south side of Wreck Pond, named the D, 8, Goodell, Cppt. B 9, Heniman, trom Rio Janeiro, in ballast; crew saved. “Also, the pilot boat " Phamtom; ‘ou the north of Wreck Pond. I will write as soon as I hear from the brig on the south side, Ww. W. The pilot boat Phantom, No, 11, mentioned above, is owned by James Berger, George Berger and J. J. Bennet, ofthis city, She was built in Smithtown, L. L, andis now about fourteen years old, She is lerge class, old fashioned and of about ninety-five tons burthen. Her value is about $4,000. Her owners, yesterday, were not aware of any accident having happened to her, as she had been seen, on the 12th inst., off the Jersey coast all night. Lone Branos, Jan. 14, 1856. Storm on the Jersey Coast——Destruction at Long Branch Wresks, de. The eastern coast of New Jersey was visited on Satur day aight by storm of great severity, the gale being one of the heaviest known for many years. Its effect along the coast, both onshore and on the sea, have been very disastrous, Very great damage has been suslalaed at the Long Branch boarding houses, Mesars. Cooper’s fine summer boarding house—the Me tropolitan—#o popular last summer, is very seriously damsged, the entire piazza, reof, &c., being blown off, Mesers. Kennedy & Crater’s United States Hotel was also seriously injured, having the piazss blown entirely off, and the building otherwise damagod by the gale, Mr. Jacob Herbert's new cottage, near the Alleghany House, was nearly ruined, the whole house being unroofed, and the inmates obliged to desert it about daybreak. All the other houses on the beach were more or loss injured—acme of them seriously—except Mr. Morris’ Pavilion and Mr. J. W. Morris’ Chelsea Cottage. Tho bank in front of the Broadway House has suffered severe- ly in this and the last storm, and the stairways, bathing houses, &c., have been very much injured, and in some cares blown entirely away. The acene from the bank in front of the Broadway House, this morning, is terrible. The buildings partly blown down on all sides, the broken and caved banks, demolished bathing houses, &s., presented a perfect pic- ture of ruin; but the worst feature is presented from the sea. At every moment some vessel heaves im sight, in various stages of disarrangement and dismemberment~ with sails gone, rigging hanging loose, bulwarks stove, masta gone, ke., &c. It is w most surprising fact that eo far we have heard of no loss of life in the immediate neighborhood. We have been able to procure intelligence of the ious ef eight ves- sels along the upper coast, from the point of the Hook to below Squan Inlet. The severity of the gale, which be- gan early on Saturday evening and continued through the night, gave reason to fear that s very heavy loss of life had occurred in our immediate visinity, as the offing, during all Saturday, was lined with vessels inward bound. ‘The Brig Samuel and Edward, Captain FL. C. Raymond, from Montevideo, with hides, consigned to J. S. Hill, 91 Front street, New York, is well up on the shore outside of the Hook. She came on at ten o’clock on Saturday night. Crew all saved. It is probavle, as she lies easy, that the vessel and cargo will both be saved, the latte: in a damaged condition. Schooner Samuel’, Lord in ashore at Deal Beach, one mile and: a half south of the Long Branch boarding houses. She is commanded by Capt. Noah Smith, and is from Baltimore, with corn and wheat. She is lying broadside on, and will probably be 8 total toss, with her cargo nearly 40. She came on about ten o’clock on Sa- turday night. Her consignees are Mailer & Lord, No. 108 Wall street. Her crew all saved themselves during night. The pilot boat Phantom lics one mile and a half south of Shark River Inlet. It is thought that she is not se- riously injured, and will be got off. Crew believed to be all saved, though the fact is not known to a certainty. The bark D. S, Goodell, Capt. Harriman, from Bio, in ballast, is ashore two miles south of Shark River Inlet. ‘The crew are all saved; and a3 the vessel lied easy, it ix probable that she can be got off, light aa she is. There is also a schooner ashore at Wreck Pond, below Deal, name unknown, said to be loaded with iron, oranges, rum and coffee, and te be from the West Indies. The crew were said to be all saved. There is a ehip ashoro just south of Squan Inlet, sup- ported, from her appearance from the shore, to be an emigrant vessel. Nothing is known of her condition, though the probability is against any loss of life, from the way in which she lies. Two brigs are also ashore just south of Squnn Inlet, from which nothing has yet been ascertained. LOOK our, Soran Virnscr, New Jersey, Jan. 14, 1866, The blow on Saturday night was severe. Several ve ‘els went ashore in this@icinity. I send you the parti- culars, as far as I bave gathered them:— The bark John Farcham, Capt. Charles Wright, from Havana for New York, loaded with sugar, tobacco, segars and, forty barrels of oranges, and consigned to Pater V. King, of New York, is ashore two miles south of Syuan Inlet. She went on at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, wind K. by S. Crew all saved. lis sails were blown away, otherwise the captain would have kept her off shore. It is doubtful whether or not she gets off, an she ia badly strained. The schoonor Euvoy, Captain Collins, from Kingston, Jamaica, for Now York, loaded with coffee and rain, is avhore about one mile and a half north of Squan Inlet, Crew all caved, but badly frozen, except the Captain, who was the only man who could do anything. If the wea- ther keeps moderate, she will probably be saved. She went ashore about 6 o'clock op Sunday morning, Yoo bark D. 8. Goodell, Capt. Harriman, from Bio de Janeiro, sixty-five €ays out, for New York in ballast, went ashore about five milos north of the Inlet, vetweon 11 and 12'0’clock on Saturday night, Crew all anved She will probably be got off. ‘There was only one day’s provi- sions on board the D. 8. Goodell when she went ashore. lL have obtained from Capt. Harriman the following re- port of vessels spoken by him on her paseage from Rio:— Nov. 27, io lat. 14 29 &., lon, 35.80 W., Set Lined ship William Phy bs from Chincha Talands for Cork, iin. re days Oak in fat. 19 N., lon. 38 40 W., exchanged with a brig showing colors ot which he ‘Gould distinguide the losers Am —, Meering sonth, Jan. 1, spoke burk Mayfowoer, from Bird Island for New Haven.

No cargo, Vessel partly Insured. Went ashore at four o'clock yesterday morning. Brig Abeona, of New York, touches at low water, enst elde of Throgs Neck, surrounded by ice.

At Sand Point and about Cow Bay the effects of the storm on Saturday night and Sunday morning were very severely felt. A tull rigged brig wae driven ashore on Hart Island, five sehoonors were left high and dry on City Tsiand, and two schooners were cast upon Huckleberry Island. OUR PORT NEWS REPORTS.

Theatres Last Night. Ar Tay Broapway THRATRE was produced a drama, “The Sea of Ice, or the Thirst for Gold,” &. This piece in intensely Freneh in its charactor, and therefore very effective. We have, in the first act, « mutiny atsea, set on by Carlos (Fisher), 2 fiibuster passenger, who suc- ceeds in his ptratical schemes by inducing the crew to think that he ean lead them to realms of untold gold. In the second act, we are tutroduced to the Arctis regions, where the master of the ship, lus wife and child have been castaway. The tee breaks up, leaving only the child to work out the virtuous part of the plot. The fili- buster becomes wealthy—returms to Europe, and is finally victimised by the child who was abandoned upon tne ice. This piece, on account of its strong effects, was quite popular in London and Paris, and it was very well recoived by a large audience at the Broadway last night, ‘The ice scene was well managed, and received much de. served applause, The petneipal parts wore niscly acted by Morera, Fisher and Chapman, and M’me Ponisi. At Burron’s Tuten we had a new farce, called “The Barber's Plot.” The scene is laid in the time of Charles the Second, of England. That amorous monarch has a pueaton for the daughter of the court barber. The artist in revenge, resolves to cat the King’s throat, but the metry monarch, ascertaining this fact, puts the barber in his place, and frightens him severely. On this situa- tion rests the piece, which is rather a pleasant triste, carried off successtully by the clever acting of Mr. Bar- ton aa the Barber, and Mr. Setchell, as Lia apprentice, Police Intelligence, MURDER IN THE EIGHTH WARD—ESUAPE OP THE PERPETRATORS. ‘The Mighth ward has again been the scono of a most brutal murder, perpetrated, it is said, by some of a gang kuown a4 “short boys,’? which infest it, and seem to delight in doing all the injury possible, both to the police and citiens.

RAILROAD, One Fireman acd One Engineer Killed and We are called upon to record another serious accident onthe Hudson River Railroad. The circumstances are an follows:— The mail train which left Albapy st four o’clock on Sunéay afternoon, and which consisted of two locomotives, two freight, one beggage and three passenger care, arrived at Spuyten Dryvil Creek at half-past one o'clock yester- day morning, The bridge which spans this creek is from twenty to thirty rods in length, and the train had crossed safely till within a few feet of the south end, where the ice bad been piled up in large masses, 60 as to be almost on a level, in some places, with the top of the track. At the time the train was passing over the tide was at the full, and it is supposed the ice pressing against the piles, hed to some extent lifted and partially dis- placed it. Hiege masses of it l'e piled up along one side of the read and against the bridge; and as these are drifted by the current, which at times weep with almost irresis- tible force through the creek, it is almost impousible for the bridge to resist the pressure. Last year, it appears, some of the piles were thrown from under the track;and had the damage not been ascertained before the passage of the train, an secident similar tothat of Monday morn. ing would doubtless have occurred. The only wonder now is that so few lives were lost, and that so many people escaped uninjured. ‘The first locomotive passed over and had just reached the southern side, when the second ran off the track, break- ing through the bridge, and making a chasm ef at least @ hundred feet in length. The locomotive sunk at once, dragging with it the tender, one baggage and two freight cars, and throwing one of the passenger cars off the ‘track. In one respect the accident somewhat resembled that at Norwalk two years ago, but fortunately the conse- quences by which it was attended have not been #0 se- rious. The escape of the passengers has something muraculous about it, for out of over a hundred not one was killed, and only « few were seriously injured. The greatest confusion prevailed on the ear—every one rushed towards the door, and but for the pre- tence of mind of the eonductor, several lives must have been lost. Im accordance with his advice, they retained their seats, that is, those who were not thrown off by the shock; and when the excitement was over they succecded in extricating themselves from their perilous position without further accident. ‘The train was going at the rate of from twenty to twenty-five miles an hour when crossing the bridge, and the shock was so great that tbe seatsin all the passenger cars, with the exception of the second one, were thrown from their fastenings, and some of the passengers preci- pitated from them to a distance of ten or twelve feet. Ono young man was thrown over three seata and had his teeth smashed in by falling against the fourth. Yet, strange to say, not «limb was broken ; and with he ex- ception of a few cuts and bruises, none of the passengers received avy injury. In this instance the reilrond employés suffered most. ‘The frst en- gine, which was mamed the “New York,’ suc- ceeded ingsining ihe southern end of the bridge, and was thrown as we have stated off the track, having sus- tained but slight damage. The second engine, the “Oneida,” ia now lying atthe bottom of the creek, and although only partially visible, it is thought sabe is go touch broken up that she will bea total loss. But the worst part of the story remains to be told. The engi- neer, George Parrisen, and Howard Root, the fireman, both went Gown with her, The former has left a wif: and two children, who are living im Peekskill, and the Jaster alao leaves a wile and two children, who livein West Thirty-fifth street, noar the Tenth avenue. Henry Dawson, the engineer on the second locomottve, was reverely scalded about the fece and breast by the escape of the steam; and Peter Banta, the firemen, wa: also #0 severely injured in the same way, that his re- covery is considered very doubtfal. Frastus Miller was beggage master on the train. That part of the road where the accident occurred is strewed with the ruins of the locomotives and cara. The two freight cars, one of which contained a large amount of mutton, and the other loaded with milk cans, were both literally mmashed to pieces, and the baggage car was piled on top, in a partially demolished conaition. Under all lay the engine and tender, aud sticking out between bnth could be seen one of the legs of the engineer. When the tide fell a rope was attached to it to mark the spot where the body lay. At an early hour yesterday morning about a hundred men were set to work to clear away the ruins. This was no easy task, Pres it took till five o’clock to remove the ht cars. The tender was removed svon after, when be lies were extricated. That of the fire- man maker one of the logs broken, and the engincer’s skull ‘was eaid to be fractured, and one side of the face terribly cut. Both the bodies were taken to one of the railroad station hourer, where they will be kopt till after the coroner's inquest. were some rumors about ® gles Pre the milk freight car atthe time of the dont, b hss there is no certainty whatever of this, aud we may say the story is altogether improbable, a8 the body would have been found before this. The rumor originated from a boy having been detected entering the car at Yonkers, and, upon being driven out, stating that there was ano- ther inside. It is more than probabl , however, that the boy was either taken from the ear ‘or thet he made his ercape at once when the other was ejected. Dr. A. I’, Chase, of Boston, who was on the train, and who was uninjured, rendered every assistance in his power to the injured, ‘The engineer of the “New York’? locomolive is a bro- ther to the one who ran the train to which the accident occurred about a week since at Poughkeepsie. We in- tended to get a statement of the catastrophe both from himself and the fireman, but were prevented from doing to by tho serious injuries under which they were sufier- ing. The fireman, it appears, inhaled a portion of the #team, and was scalded internally, rendering his recovery almost an impossibility. Both he and the engineer were suffering intensely from thetr injuries; but notwiths(and- ing the strict injunctions of the physician, persons were allowed to converse with them. The briége, as we have said, is partially Sorter ely 8 a hundred feet of it having been down. two tracks over it, one or which has not been throwa down, busit is se much damaged as to render repairs necestary before a train can pass over it with: safety. ‘Till this “is done—and it will take two or three days at least—there will be some detention in the time of running the cara, ‘The Coroner’s inquest ia to be held at 11 o'clock this morning, near the scone of the catastrophe. Wo are requested by Mr. James Whitey, of Poughkeep- sie, to state, for the of calming the appreken- sicns of his friends, that the only injuries he has «us- tained are a slight dislocation of the wrist, and afew contusions about the chest and shoulders.
