| We have only time to inform you by to-
nights mail, of terrible tornado which visited
our city this afternoon between five and six
O'Clock The wind blew terri6c--large trees
were blown down-houses sunrooied--carriages
on the roads near the city were upset-the
carriers, draymen, &c., ungeared their horses,
unable to proceed farther, and left their burthens
in the streets, which were absolutely covered
with torrents of water. Such storm was
never before witnessed in Wilmington. At
this early hour it is impossible TO send you all
the particulars, but we have gathered the fol-
lowing, and despatch them in great haste


The large ship house, belonging to Belts,
Harlan & Hollinsworth, was entirely destroy
ed. Twenty men were in it, at work on an
iron steamer; two of them were Immediately
crushed to death, and several others were con-
sderably injured


The large building, belonging TO Messrs.
Thachers, was also blown down. Several OF
the workmen were injured, but we have heard
of no deaths.


| A brig was capsized in the Christiana, and
one of the hands had his leg broken. Sever
al smaller vessels broke from the wharf, and
nearly all the vessels in port were more OF
less injured.


The High Constable Of the city, while riding
on the road, was blown, horse and carriage into
ditch, and was hurt by the plunging of the
horse.-Baltin,ore Patriot.
