The Governmeni promptly took steps to alleviate as much as possible the prevailing misery and distress, and voted 100,000 francs. Information was received as to the loss of fourteen vessels duriug the cyclone. Owing to the operation of the vend system in limiting the output of coal, and the inability of steamers to procure the coal contracted for, several steamera have been laid up at Newcastle.
