THE STORM ON THE LAKE.-The absence of any
boat by the Cleveland route, prevents full partcu-
lars of the extent of losses to those vessels reported
ashore. The London is in from Detroit but passing
close to the Canada side, during hazy weather. and
king but few stops adds but little to the information
previously obtained. The brig st. Louis LIST, which
cleared n ballast Sunday morning. charge of
the mate, Mr.. Keller is ashore beyond Long Point,
the Canada shores and the brig Rebecca Captain Allen
with full cargo OF flour, &C., from Detroit, is beached
above Point Abino. The steamer Bunker Hill has
gone to their assistance The schooner Bugbee, Til.
ton master also reported ashore the south side of
the lake. We expect to hear Of other disasters The
large soop Helen Kent, loaded with merchandise for
Conneaut passed place on Sunday evening has
since been heard from. The schr. Clay 2nd Bone
master as being ashore at re has been got
off with her cargo in damaged condition. We learn
frcm the Erie Gazette that alter the subsidence OF the
gale the beach at that place strewed with wheat,
and that fears are entertained Of the sinking of
vessel


The storm has pretty much ceased and a fleet of
steamers left this morning westward-one only for the
to follow Immediately. Sail vessels waiting for
wind.


The Detroit Express, of Wednesday evening says
We are informed by passengers who came up on the
Empire and United States that many vessels aground.
The storm commenced Sunday morning, blowing from
northeast and continued to until evening when
north wind threatened to drive every thing upon the
American shore. The United States when between Eric
and Fairpor, became partially disabled but through
great exertons she carried safe into Fairport II
impossible to state the amount Of loss occasoned by tho
storm vessel belonging to Messrs Smith. Glover 4
Dwight, was wrecked near Huron She was insured

MORE MORMON DIFFIoULnEs.-A gentleman from
the Upper Mississippi informs us that few days
ago the Sheriff Of Rock Island came to Nauvoo with
writ for one of the Reddings, charged to have been con-
cerned in the murder Of Col Davenport After Reddng
had been arrested and about going board boat
or Rock Island, body Of Mormons collected round the
sherh Tor the purpose OF rescung the prisoner and in
the attempt Reddng received shot in the leg and the
Sheiia wound from pstsshot The prisoner escaped.
We further understand that Major Warren, the com.
mander of the forces stationed i'll the county had several
wrs to serve ia Nauvoo, which he would attempt to ex
ccue on Tuesday last, when it was expected the Nor
mons would offer opposition TO their service. If these
reports be true and the Mormons do in fact offer resist
ance 10 Major Warren they will bring upon themselves
another difficulty Immediately. We are surprised they
don't the danger they incur by this course OF resist
ance We sre not fully informed as to the Character OF
the wrs 10 be served but understand that some OF them
are against some of the members of the Council Of
Twelve which includes the leaders principal men OF
the church.-St Louis Republican, Oct. 81.


James Arlington Bennett said to be trying to act the
lion a Nauvoo at the present time lie will be roughly
handled il he falls into the hands OF the anti Mormons
Bckenstos has removed the trial of his to Peoria
county by change of venue.


The jFGrsac Signal says, that three Mormon houses
were burned last week in the south end OF the county
by whom it does not know The Signal censures such
acts in strong terms


We learn from letter from Nauvoo, that the anti Nor
mons threatened attack the night of the 22d upon
the Camp Creek settlement, but that their designs were
known and would be frustrated. The Mormons are
making arrangements to leave for California in the
