More Disasters by Storms in England and Ireland.
LONDON, Sept. 1.—Violent gales and rain storms continue to sweep over Great Britain and Ireland. Dispatches from Dublin state that crops throughout the province of Ulster are in a pitiable condition, and that in many parts of Ulster and elsewhere they are almost entirely submerged. In other sections crops are completely destroyed. Off Ilfracombe, near Barnstaple, Devonshire, today, during one of the many gales which have swept over these islands recently, a passenger steamer, having one hundred passengers on board, had a narrow escape from destruction. A succession of heavy seas struck her, sweeping the decks, smashing in the salon skylights and pouring tons of water down the companion ways. So severe was the pounding the steamer received by the waves that many passengers were severely injured, of which number six are in a precarious condition. In the Mersey a fishing smack foundered and all hands were lost. On the south coast of England there have been several wrecks. Last night the government cutter Beatrice was stranded below Gravesend.
