which visited the harbor of that city the night
OF Wednesday last. Il began in the evening and
ragged with great fury until morning. The follow
ing summary OF the damage done is condensation
the POST


At Fort Hill wharf, several small vessels were
more or less damaged. A small schooner, the
| Jane Fish of St. Georges, Ne, was driven from
her anchor against the wharf, and Nathan Fuller,
40 elderly sailor, in attempting to leave the yes
sell fell between her sides and the wharf, and was
drowned The crew of this vessel state that the
brig Uncle Sam had been blown adrift, and was
then driving about the harbor; and that the ship
Tyrone had parted her head-fasts, had swung
round, and sustained considerable damage.


The space between India and Central wharves
was filing up fast with drifting wrecks, and those
vessels at the ends Of these wharvss were careen-
ing as if their tall masts would turn them


The end Of Long wharf brought up several
craft, which probably were sunk. The space be-
tween this wharf and Central wharf, was also TIE
scene of great destruction. The noise OF falling
masts and the crashing of drifting wrecks rose, at
intervals, above the storm, and might have been
heard even at the centre of the city.


At the northern wharves, and, in fact, at all the
wharves, more or less damage sustained by
great portion of the shipping. Such was the ter
| rife violence of the gale, that II was dangerous
| for an individual to venture 70 the ends OF the
wharves; and such was the confusion that reigned
around, that little if any thing definite could be
obtained of the people who had left their vessels.


We we're informed that more than dozen YES
sells had been sunk and that the crews OF one or
two ef them had pershed but the names OF the
vessels we could not learn. This leads US to hope
that such reports are exaggerated.


Perhaps no gale that has visited this place for
some time has DESTROYED so much property in this
port in so short time. We fear that few days
will unfold tales of shipwreck and death along
our coasts, that will bring pain aud sorrow to ma
ny bereaved bosom; for no vessel close IN with
land could carry sail or ride at anchor, in exposed
situations and weather such u tempest.


We have taken no notice of the damage on the
land but undoubtedly tits considerable-for notli-
ing fragile, exposed to such fury, could escape
unscathed.


P. S. We understand the Revenue Cutter Ham
il,on parted her cables, and drifted ashore.
