After a week of utiiuterinittent wet weather, during the latter part of which Umi barometer had given unequivocal feigns of uu impending atmospheric jBonvukiou, twenty-four hours of hem* v and incessant ram, ushered in u (uriou* wiud-storua on Sunday evening. The howls and gusts of wind, liku the shriek* lt;Jf some storm fiend sent abroad , on hft task of destruction aad ruin, resounded through the streets and limes ol the citr, striking terror to the heartsI of thoeelwhojruraembered, spite ofthem-felvee, the’terrible destnu-tmn—sum-ftuies of a city or an island—which bus often been experienced in those latitudes at tin* season of the year. It eOutmyud toiucrcaM. in intensity and Strength until about eight in the evening, When it diminished •. avdually, and by midmght the atimnphere had resumed its usual serenity. But the Btormng revealed the damage Ghaj, had been done. Though visible principally 0k the sea-board It had bc«u piv.i ! all %Andrew’s, trees and chimneys fed victims to the weather. But it was along the seaboard that the worst effects ol the storm were manifest.The foundations of the Mill Store of Messrs. Verloy, Robinson Co. were, washed away, and several of the outbuildings destroyed, while the pier of their wharf strandea in the centre, leaving a yawning gulf of fifteen feet width between them. Several of the plunks of the pier at the Prince's wharf* planks Were also torn up by the fury of the waves. Ast wood’s pier is almost wholly destroyed. The pier at Central wharf is seriously damaged, that at the Government’s is a ruin, the shed having fallen in. Not to particularize, there is no wharf in the city which has not received more or less damage.The list of casualties in the harbour and at Port, Royal, as far as we have been able to gather, is as followsThe schooner Frances Anno, the property of Captain Peynado sunk be-tiV 'Hii Albergas’sand Central Wh rf. lhe GtRslle being driven in front of her, and cu isideiably injured and the AnnoPlt; Bay Packet and sloop Princess R. yal, are seriously injured.Schooner Village Bello with a cargc of salt,230© bushots, conrigned to Alta-uunt D©0ordova, E^q., went down al Brown’s wharf; cargo uninsuredSchor Louisa—carried away her bow sprit.Brigand—Dominican schr, ashore at E. Lyons Sou’s wharf.Schooner Brilliant-Stern stove io ami damaged.Sloop Jaue Nelson—iprung a leak.Schooners Wave aad Swan arc ashore.Sloop Florida—wreckedThe Morning Star went down ai CharL.i Levy et Co’s wharf. This wai tho vessel, which iu 1909, as the Grapi Shot, attempted a landing of arms anlt; ammunition on the coaat of *uba bu was repulsed with loss of life and ; nr-sued into British waters. Having pu into the port of Falmouth, her cargo iuclud’ug several explosive missiles, wa confiscated and afterwards destroyed bi the Goverm nt, and the vessel, afte; several vicissitudes, became the pro-peity of Mr. R. G. Robey of that town We believe she has recently passed ou of his hands.The Katinka sunk at Alberga s wharl —the schooner Trelawny lying abovi her in the water.1 he sloop A. D. C. on shore outsidi the PalisadoPK, and at Port Royal th schoouer Moselle and another schoone supposed to be the Kose.The .Manchester, undergoing repair.*’ was blown high aad dry on Jonue bech./^The hhwlTna* was blown on th le.r h adjoining, The Detianee 6 i Bryce’s beach. Two Government cc noes have also h|en sunk. Two of th crew of the Gazelle are m'lsing an supppscd lt;» die frowned, but beyon this We have as yet heard of no loss*c file. One from tlui Princess Royal, am two others whose names we have beei unable to ascertain are drowned.No reports have yet reached us fron the other ports of tho island or b) telegraph, but we eufntain the strongest fears thitSavunna-la-Mur am Blac.k River, on this side of the island and Port Mari,, Annotto Bay and Mon tego Bay on the North, must have ex perieneed to the fullest, extent th worgt effects of the storm. We wonl not be prophet* of evil, but when we rr collect, that 8ttranaa4n-rnar was des troyed bj a stoiai in 1. SO, and that a trio other places have suffered more lt;less at oth r periods, we await w dh mor anxiety than hope to receipt oi new from t hose places.
