Situation to Incite a Revolt.Loxiion, Oct. 14.—A dispatch to tfie

Telegraph f;-oin St. Petersburg saysa revolutionary society at Kic'f baendeavoring to take advantage of theprevailing famine to excite revolt, andthat exiles from Switzerland and Francehave guided the movement. Numerousarrests of real and suspected membershave been effected, among whom wereseveral students of the University ofKiett. These circumstance* determined

P authorities to make domiciliary visitsthe lodgings of certain young men

whose political leanings seemed doubt-ful, and these visits led to the discoveryof secret literary clubs, the members ofwhich read privately tho writings ofCount Tolstoi and of Saltikeff, which arcprohibited by the Russian Government,but arc published in Geneva. Thestudents, whose objects are not political,have all been arrested and are beingtreated exactly in the same way as rculconspirators.

The students of the university, indig-nant at this injustice, called a meeting topetition the minister for the release ofmembers of the literary clubs, but therector dissolved the gathering in Bpite ofthe protest of all present, and the Gov-ernor-Genera] threatened to surround theuniversity with Cossacks.

Loxpo.v, Oct. 14.—The furious galeswhich have been raging all over England,Ireland and South Scotland for overtwenty-four hours continue to-day.

Tho channel passenger boats, whichusually venture out in the most severewoalher, were unable to cross last night.

From sill sections come reports of dam-age done and lives endangered. It is im-possible yet to give an approximate ideaof the damage done on land and sea orthe liVes Lost.

At Helensborg, a watering place on theFirth of Clyde, the streets are flooded andpeople driven from their homes. Twopassenger trains running between Glas-,n;v and llelensburg were brought to a

standstill by waves, which threatened towash away the tracks.

Tho lires were put out and the enginesunable to move. Escape from the carswas impossible, and all attempts to reachthe travelers failed.

Dispatebes from Dover, Kent, says thohurricane was worse than tho blizzard ofMarch last. The Ostend boat was un-;i!)!e to approach the shelter of the pierof Dover, and was driven out to seaagain, since which time she has not beenbeardo^ but it is thought she reachedsome place of shelter elsewhere along thecoast, and tho telegraph wires beingdown, she has been unable to make herwhereabouts known.

ofrecent years, by the expenditure ofimmense sums ofmoney, Dover has beenmade a "harbor of rofuge," long, power-fullybuiit jetties having been thrown outseaward and a huge granite pier, calledthe Admiralty Pier, one-third of a milelong, having been built. At the com-mencement of the storm the pier andjetties were continually washed by thowaves, and the pounding the pier has re-ceived has been so severe that a greatamount ofdamage has been done it, hugegranite blocks of several tons' weight be-

i ing washed out of place in spite of theironwork and cement which hold them,and little more than the bare foundationsremain.

The oldest veteran seamen admit thatthey do not remember having seen worseweather and heavier seas oil' the Englishcoast.

threat danger is experienced, by pedes-trains on the streets of Dover, owing tofalling tiles, slates and bricks from chim-nies, which have been toppled over bythe howling wind. Anumber ofmore orless serious accidents have been reported.In one street it has been reported by thepolice that a stack of brick chimneys washurled down with such force as to "smashin the roof upon which it fell, and buriedin ruins the inmates of the house. Anumber of women and children werebadly injured by crashing rallers andtiles.

At Sunderland the hurricane unroofeda factory, the tall chimney of which fellupon a house and seriously injured fourpersons. This afternoon the gale in thechannel is increasing, and all steamersare forced to make some harbor.

Additional reports from Glasgow saythe storm is undoubtedly the most severesince the terrible Taybridge disaster.The ship Urania broke from her moor-ings and crashed into the Italian barken-tino Girolmiua. The latter's foremastsnapped and the vessel was completelydismasted. Both vessels then drifteddown the stream, the crews being utterlypowerless to control them. Final!v, theUrania crashed into the sheds of theAnchor Line steamship Company, andthis enabled, her to be captured and madefast.

Two coasting vessels have foundered inLoch Long, a branch of the Firth of Clyde,and six of their crews have beendrowned. The ship llelen Brewer cap-sized at Glasgow, and over a dozenyachts, a number of coasting vessels and

| many lighters are ashore In the Clyde.Four of the stranded lighters havealready sunk, and several others arealmost certain to become total wrecks.The steamship Anchoria of the AnchorLine grounded at (ireenock, owing to theforce of the hurricane. All incomingBteamen report having encountered fear-ful weather.

It is thought thattho lo ;ng of life and property are eoin-parati(r >ly small, when thp vast extent ofthe st|> in is considered. Reports con-tinue It be received of floods in the val-Ws ( 9?rent, Wye and Avon. Manyfarms i Monmouthshire have been de-vastat 1, and the loss of crops and cattleis con; Jerable. *At u-diff the great breakwater was

I partl> estroyed, and, in addition to those! repor I, many coasters have gone ashore.

The < end steamer, which usually makesa trip Dover in three or four hours, wasoutele «n hours, under full steam. Shewas tl :i compelled to put back withoutmakin the trip.

All < mmunication with tho continenthas bet 1 retarded to an extent never be-foro ( ualed. A coal-laden steamergroum id off Hollywood, where, beyondthe rea h of aid, tho cargo took tire, burn-ing thdvessel to the water's edge.

A telegram from Folkestone says asteamer was sighted oft'that port in dis-tress, but tho local life-boat crew wasunable to reach her, owing to the heavysea. and it is feared that the steamer willbecome a total wreck.

The St. James (Gazette this afternoonsays: "Not within recent memory hassuch a terrific storm raged in England, ;and a terrible catalogue of disasters at ;sea is to be expected. Great damage hasbeen done in many parts of the coun-try."

to the Record-Uniow.St. Jonxs (N. P.), Oct. 14.—A dispatch

was received here shortly after noon to-day in which it was stated that tho An-chor Line steamer Cityof Koine, of whichCaptain Young had command and whichsailed on October 10th from New Yorkfor Liverpool, had been lost offSt. Shotts,a hamlet in the district of Placentia andSt. Marys, N. F., four miles from CapePine.

The news caused intense excitementand groat uneasiness, as it was knownthere were a largo number of passengerson board the City of Romo bound forKu-rope.

St.Shotts ismore particularly noted as thescene ofmany disastrous wrecks than foranything else, and tlio vessels that havehad tho misfortune to founder there havegenerally been total losses.

The dangerous hamlet is eighty milesin a direct line southwest of iSt. Johns,and the nearest point of importance tothe place is Trepassy, which is located atHead Bay, running in between CapesRace and Pine, and about twenty milesfrom where the City of Home is said tohave been lost.

New York, Oct. 14.—When the dis-patches received from St. Johns gavethe meager statement that the City ofRome had foundered, it was immedi-ately believed that the ocean racer, whichleft here Saturday last, had been caughtin an unusually strong hurricane andeither run ashore on had gone downwith her passengers and crew. Theexcitement was intense throughout thiscity and Brooklyn. Those who enter-tained fears as to her safety were greatlyrelieved later when a dispatch from SUJohns stated definitely that it was not thewell-known City of Rome, but a trampsteamer of the same name.

At the oiliee of Henderson Brothers,agents for the Anchor Line steamships,nothing definite could be obtained forsome time. Itwas at iirst given out thatthe vessel ashore was the Citta di lloma.This steamer sailed on the 23d from NewUrloans for Bordeaux. On the 10th ofSeptember she left Norfolk, Va. FinallyMr. Connelly, of Henderson Brothers,stated that he had received a privatecablegram from St. Johns which put thematter at rest, as far as the Anchor Linewas concerned. The cable stated that thevessel ashore Avas tho cattle steamer fromMontreal. This is a tramp steamship,having no register at Lloyds, but wasnamed the City of Kome. It had 750 cut-tle on board. The captain of the vesselwas named Nelly, and it is reported thathe was drowned, with the first officer.

In answer to an inquiry, HendersonBros., agents of the Ancnor Line, re-ceived the following :

"Cape Rack (N. F.>, Oct. 14.—YourCity of Rome passed east Tuesday after-noon, all well."

STORY OF A SURVIVOU.St. Johns (N. F.), Oct. 14.—A man by

the name of John Brennan, belonging toSligo, Ireland, arrived at Trepassy thismorning from Peters River. He saysthat he was the only survivor ofa crew otforty-three men on the steamer City ofRome, which became a total wreck onMonday night at Marine eovo in St.Mary's Bay.

He says that the captain and crew andofficers were all drunk and unable tosave themselves. He was thrown upona cliffand rescued by a man on Tuesdaymorning.

He also stated that tho City of Romebad on board o7;> head of cattle, a quantityof flour in sacks and Indian corn.

Tho man tells a most pitiful tale aboutthe struggle the crew had among the bul-locks trying to save themselves.

Tho survivor said in conclusion thatthe steamer was commanded by CaptainNelly and was bound from Montreal forDundee.

There is considerable excitement hereover the story of the man Brennan, whoclaims to be the only survivor of the cat-tle-ship City of Rome. There are numer-ous persons here who refuse to believe hisstory.

PROBABLY TTTE CITT.V Dl ROMA.New York, Oct. 14.—Dispatches from

St. Johns and Halifax say that the re-ported lost ofa cattle-Ship named City ofRome off St. Shotts is not believed there.If there has been any such wreck, itwould have been reported from St.Marys, which is nearer than Terpassy toSt. Shotts. Cable messages from both St.Pierre and St. Johns report a cattle-steamer ashore at St. Shotts, and it is pos-sible that the wrecked ship is the Italiantramp steamer, Citta di Roma, whichtell Norfolk September 30th with a cargoof cattle.
