The French coast, where the Reliance was wrecked, is of shallow sand, and has no inhabitants upon it except a few fishermen. The French say they heard the first signals fired, and answered them by firing from the shore and hoisting flags as soon as it was daylight. They further allege that they launched two boats, which made ' some progress towards the wreck, and were compelled to put back. Both O'Neill and the carpenter denrthis, and - the latter says it is true that he saw them " fingering" the boats, but there was no attempt made to put them off. With the exception of a French fishing-boat the Reliance had not met a Single vessel for some days previous to the wreck.

LOSS OF THE RELIANCE, EAST IN DIAIVIAN. ARRIVAL OF THE SURVIVORS IN LONDON-AND AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE OF THE WRECK. The survivors among the crew of the above ill-fated ship arrived in London yesterday afternoon, by the General Steam Navigation Company's vessel Magnet, Captain Stock, from Boulogne. The Magnet brings over the whole of the surviving crew, with the exception of Dixon, the carpenter, who is still detained by the British Consul, for the purpose of identifying the dead, only twelve bodies out of the 109 persons lost having been picked up when Captain Stock left. The subjoined statement was made by O'Neill, an intelligent foremast man, and one of the two English men saved, who was on deck when the vessel struck. O'Neill states that they had remarkably thick and hazy weather for some days previous to the 12th inst., ath. on Friday they shortened sail, and the lead was kept going. At half-past twelve at night, one of the crew named Thomas, whose watch it was on the fore castle, reported that he saw lights, and soon after they were distinctly observed by several others on the larboard and starboard. The second mate, Mr. Green, was on duty at the time, and said that those on the weather bow were a ship's lights, and added, " Hurrah, boys, the light on the lee beam is Dunge ness ; we shall be in the Downs this morning." They then steered north, and thought they were running for the Downs. Their course was east by north, as it was given at twelve o'clock, when the look-out was relieved. About one o'clock Captain Green and Mr. IValsh, the chief mate, came on deck, and the Captain immediately gave orders to wear the ship and heave the lead. As the vessel answered her helm, the quarter-master gave the soundings, " By the hard deep, six." At this moment the vessel was un der close reefed fore and main topsails--was pay ing off by the wind, and gradually going round on the other tack. A seaman named Munroe was at the wheel at this time, and as she veered round her keel touched the bottom, and she struck heavily on the sand. The shock is described by O'Neill as having been terrific. His language was, "It struck me as if I had laid hold of an electrical machine." The whole of the crew rushed on deck, and before any orders could be given she shifted slightly, and became more firmly imbedded. This motion was re peated five or six times in rapid succession, and it was the opinion of the officers that the ship's back was broken by the force of the concussion. The tide was setting strong in, and the Captain immediately or • dered signals of distress to be fired. It was the opinion of all on board that they were off the English coast, and the Captain, seeing that there was no hope of saving the ship, desired several of the crew to cut away the mainmast. This was imme diately commenced, and in a few moments it went over to leeward with a terrific crash. The foremast soon followed, and in falling broke the leg of a young midshipman named Forde ; but the im minent danger of all around did not prevent, even at this crisis, every attention being shown him. The fractured limb was carefully set by the surgeon, and the poor lad was conveyed to the Captain's cabin, where he remained, until the breaking up of the ship obliged some of the crew to place him on the poop. While Forde was lying in the cabin, O'Neill and two other seamen made their way there, and took away a musket, a couple of pistols, and a bag of powder, with which they fired signals from the poop. O'Neill admits that those of the crew engaged in firing the signal guns got to the spirit casks and drank to excess. Subsequently, at the Captain's direction, who, accord ing to O'Neill, manifested the greatest coolness and presence of niind, lights were placed in the mizen rig ging in order to point out their position to any boats that might come off to their assistance. The sea was now tremendous, and as the vessel rolled her bottom could he distinctly heard breaking up. The water rushed in, and her cargo of tea, becoming wet burst up the decks, which, for some time previous had been dangerous to stand upon, from the planks opening and shutting, whereby the feet of several seamen were jammed between the seams. Three hours had now elapsed since the vessel struck, and the day was beginning to break. The Captain, with the officers and passengers, and many of the crew, were on the after-part of the vessel, which still held together, the sea making a breach right over her. Chests of tea floated, one by one, on the surface, indicating that a portion of the bottom was entirely gone. Orders were now given to get out the long boat, but, from the injuries she had sustained from the falling of the masts and rolling of the ship, she was found to be useless. There were two other boats on board, but their con dition at this time, as O'Neill states, was such as to render them of no service. , The Europeans among the crew were then desired by the officers to con struct a raft, but this could not be accomplished. The vessel held together until eight o'clock, rol ling fearfully from side to side with the swell of the ocean, and drenching the crew continually. About this time, Captain Green, the first mate, Mr. Walsh, and several others, left the poop of the ship to take refuge with the sailors in the floating spars and rigg ing of the mainmast—Captain Tucker and many others still remaining on the after part of the vessel. Shortly before nine o'clock, as nearly as can be ascertained, the vessel parted midships, the sea breaking right through her, and in a few moments she was a com plete wreck, portions of her timber floating about in all directions. Numbers of the crew sank immediately, and were lost sight off amidst the breakers. Capt. Tucker was among this number. The Captain, Mr. Walsh, O'Neill, the sail maker, the armourer, and several others, still clung to the mainmast and rigging, which being released from, the vessel floated towards the land. At this and indeed for some length of time previous the people on the coast were distinctly ob served, running to and fro, but no boats put off to render assistance. The floating timber from the wreck, whirled round by the violence of the sea, struch off many of the poor wretches who had taken refuge on those portions still above water, and the in cessant fatigue which the crew had been subjected to for some hours, rendered their efforts at swimming towards the shore, a distance of nearly three miles, extremely feeble. Captain Green who was nearly 60 years of age became so, weak that he lost his hold several times and fell into the sea. Mr. Walsh called out to some of the sailors, "Pull up the Captain, boys!' and he was raised on to the timbers more than once The last time he was taken out of the water he was found to be insensible, but the men still assisted in holding him on. About half-past 9 o'clock the loose spars became so exposed to the sea as no longer to af ford protection against its violence, and the greater number of those who had sought refuge upon them were washed off. O'Neill plunged into the sea and seized a plank. At the moment of doing so several sailors clung to him. He was compelled to strike them off to save his own life, but one of the Malays reached the shore by himself. O'Neill states that as daylight broke men on horseback were observed on the shore , but he states most distinctly that no boat was put off: TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN. SlR—Reading your account of the loss of the Reliance East indiaman, I am induced to beg of you to give publicity to the suggestion that all ways crosses my mind, in reading accounts of si milar disasters, viz., that the owners or captains of ships should be obliged to have on board a trunk of India rubber floating belts ; according to the number of the passengers and crew; they would occupy a verysmall space, would cost only a few shillings each, and might be strapped on and inflated in a much shorter time than it takes me to write this note, and would have saved the lives, in all probability, of not less than 100 hu man beings in the case of the Reliance alone (for the carpenter and five or. six of the crew,_ it ap pears, reached the shore without any such assist ance.) I need scarcely suggest also, that the con fidence given to the crew, by having such a belt strapped on them, would make them much more efficient in such imminent danger, and to the very last moment. To understand the matter more clearly, let us suppose ourselves in such a situa tion ; what would we not give fur such a belt (if the Captain had them to sell after the ship had struck), and what sailor would refuse the chance of security they offered him ? The necessary box of belts would not cost the owners more than some one of the vessel's articles always taken out, and save the lives of hundreds; but if, by calling the attention of individuals going to sea, to the prudence of supplying themselves, you thereby saved only the lives of a few, I am sure you will consider yourself amply repaid, as should, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS BROADWOOD.

He hastened to the priso ner ' s w i fe, and saw her bleeding from the neck. The prisoner turned off, as if to run away, when witness collared him. Some one then said to the prisoner , ~, y ou have been cutting your wife's throat ; and he replied, " Yes, I'll cut her -- heart out before I've done with her:' The prisoner was not drunk. Charles Gunn deposed to having seen the prisoner and his wife wrangling. She struck him on the side of the head, to make him get away from the stall, when he went up to her and jobbed something into her neck. Witness saw a great gash in her throat. Another witness deposed that the prisoner caught hold of his wife's throat '‘‘ as if he was going to choke her, and held her a short time, and then cut her throat." The woman was conveyed to the hospital. One of the sur geons to the hospital deposed that the wound was three inches in length, and one in depth; the external jugular vein had been cut through, Onn 'hi s way to the station-house, the prisoner said he meant to kill his wife, and if she was dead he should be happy ; he intended, after killing her, to kill himself. The knife was produced with which the wound had been inflicted ; it was a very large clasp knife, with a sharp point. As the woman was dangerously ili, and not able to give any evidence against her husband, he was remanded for a few days. GLOBE.—The conclusion of the war with China has diffused unmixed satisfaction among all classes. The melancholy carnage of the Chinese, by which every conflict with our troops was attended, bringing no glory to our arms because of the inequality in skill and prowess which was evinced by the van quished—this succession of victories without glory has been happily brought to a termination. A treaty has been concluded by which all that we demanded has been conceded, including indemnity for the ex penses of the war, into which we were coerced by a succession of provocations and injuries on the part of the Chinese Government, that left no alternative but war, which was adopted as a dernier resort. The manifest advantages which the treaty has secured to our commerce are, of course, the theme of general congratulation. A vast extension of demand, it may be hoped, will be created for British manufac tures among the immense population of the Chinese empire ; now that new ports, opening communica tions with provinces which were previously almost hermetically sealed against the introduction of British produce, are assigned by the Chinese Govern ment for the reception of our trading vessels. The intelligence—coming, as it does, at a period of almost unprecedented commercial depression and de spondency—has raised the drooping spirits of our manufacturers and merchants, and will, we trust, be the -commencement of a new era in the history of theirAnng,discouraged pursuits. The twenty-one millions of dollars, which the Chinese have under taken to pay, and for payment of which security is held, although anything but indifferent either to the British nation or its Government, in the present state of our finances, is but as dust in the balance, when viewed in connection with the immediate,remote, and interminable advantages which will accrue from the increased faci lities afforded to trade by the possession of ports com municating with the various provinces. The influ ence of recent events on the Chinese character, and on their long-cherished notions of superiority over every other people upon the earth, cannot fail to pro duce vast beneficial results to that people. The silent march of ages could not have effected so powerful a change, so perfect a revolution, as will flow from the acquaintance to which they have been brought with themselves, and with Europeans, by means of the now terminated war between Great Britain and their Go vernment. The wall of separation which the Chinese had succeeded in building around themselves, and by which they had shut themselves out from the intercourse which civilised nations, in a state of amity, cultivate for the purposes of mutual advantage—this barrier, the work of ages, has been shaken to its base, and a breach made in it which it will be found im possible to repair. China will, doubtless, ere long, take her place among the nations of the earth; her Government holding regular intercommunication by means of recognised representatives, with other Go vernments ; and her people, not merely members of, but feeling that they are members of, the great hu man family. STANDARD.—The opening of four new ports to British commerce, each of these ports a better port and in a richer country than Canton, the only port hitherto unsealed to Europeans, is an event the im portance of which can scarcely be estimated by any accessible analogy. The opening of four new ports in France, the largest and the richest state of Europe, would be a matter of little interest, because, notwithstanding its extent, France has already established communications with a suffi cient number of ports for commercial purposes ; but the opening of four new ports in China is the equivalent of the opening of commercial rela tions with four rich States, each as large as France, and with any of which we have never before had any commerce whatever. To the Chinese the benefit will be even greater than to us, as opening their whole coast to the trade of Great Britain ; for it amounts to this. They open their commerce to the uni versal factors and carriers—that is, to the whole world. A trade established with England will enable them to have the product of the looms of Manchester or the forges of Birmingham, or of the industry of France or Germany transmitted through British commerce in a few months to China —and China has been too long in peace not to be rich and luxurious. These things are the guarantees of a long peace. We must, however, abruptly conclude for the present, to give place to the authentic information upon which our remarks are founded ; and before concluding, we will ask one question—Was not the fire of London in 1666 a good ? Did it not lead to immense improvement in the appearance, in the accommodation, and the health of the British metropolis (we have had no visit from the plague since the great fire) ? The question must be answered in the affirmative. Then we add another—are the incen diaries who burned a city, whether, as we believe them, zealots of Romanism, or, as others think, Libe ral thieves, entitled to grateful praise for the conse quences of their crime? If not, neither are the Whigs entitled to plume themselves upon the consequences of the Asiatic war. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The intelligence from China of a settle ment of our dispute with that country caused a per fect panic among all parties interested in the prospect of affairs in the East. It came so suddenly upon every body, that most people, till they had well scrutinized the contents of the telegraphic dispatch, and the terms upon which peace is said to have been concluded, ap• peared rather incredulous ; recollecting most probably the trick on a former occasion played off by a section of the French press, in the publication of the fabri cated extract of the letter from Marseilles ; which, although its auttor was never discovered, has ever since retained a notoriety of the most questionable character. When, however, due consideration was given to the communication, there was a change of opinion, and the dealers in the public Funds dis played the feeling with which they were disposed to receive it, by doing business on an extensive scale for an advance. The consequence of this was a run upon the Consol market, where prices improved one-half per cent., the figure for Money and the Account reaching 944. The purchases in the early part of the morning were general ; it was not the bargains of a few of the jobbers that influenced quotations, it was the desire manifested by the majority to come in as buyers that brought them up to the position they now maintain. This to a certain extent is strong evi dence of the view in which the news is regarded. The quick transit of it appeared to have been a question sorely puzzling to several of the gossips of the City as n w : would re a na l bloye favourable e p r x r e P e o c v e c i i s N oe d ( s coffee-houses, but of the possibility and probability of i such a mail coming to hand not the least doubt is en ttehrat:ii n n t e e d il i f g o e r n i c n e c o e f r s ta o i m n e q d u e a s rte cri rs pt i jo t fromb plagt light th bCpyhri proposed most tendr commerciali a n f t o h r e m in middle gm te hn e o ; fb basist u h te disappointmentmo f o t n h t eh treatyy a spe cial conveyance overland.

The Government will, it is on all hands admitted, receive a proportionate re turn for the expensive disbursements by the payment of this 4,500,0001., should it be religiously adhered to, which, with the sources of trade opened at the new ports of Ningpo, Amoy, &c., cannot fail to compensate the country in some small measure for the long and harassing warfare in which it has been engaged, leaving for the while unconsidered the merit of the achieve ment of the subjection of this nation to terms of equa lity with ourselves. The failure of Messrs. Bell, Brothers, and Co. a firm of old and respectable stan din g in the Irish trade, was announced on 'Change to-day. Beyond the mere fact of their stoppage no well authenticated par ticulars have transpired. CIIRONICLE.—The decided triumph of Whig policy, as consummated in the important intelligence received this morning of a treaty of peace with China has produced great buoyancy in the English Funds, and is justly looked upon as calculated, be yond all other acts of foreign policy, to restore vitality to trade, and to refresh tke springs of our national industry. The immense population of China—its vast resoures and varied products—its endless wants and means of paying for them—all form new elements of trade, boundless in their re sults, which cannot fail, at the present low prices, to d e mand for goods, and afford em ploymentour manufacturing classes.

The influx of 7,000,000 of dollars of specie annually, for three years, will absolutely glut the coffers of the Bank, and it is expected that Peel will instantly convene Parliament to take off the Income-tax, and repeal the sliding scale, so as to give the country the full benefit of this glorious change of prospects. DUBLIN, Nov. 20.—For the first time blood has been shed in consequence of resistance to the levy of the poor-rate in this country. The facts I have re cently noticed, respecting the growing spirit of hos tility to the Poor-laws, especially as manifested by the tone of Conservative journals, one of which actu ally put forward a requisition for a meeting to resist the payment of the rate—all this must have in some measure prepared the public for such deplorable events as the following, from the Cork Examiner of Friday evening : " Through Mr. Hurley, driver of the Skibbereen coach, we learn the following particulars of a melan choly transaction, accompanied with loss of life, which took place at Skibbereen. It appears that a party of police, under the command of Captain Gore Jones, S.M., proceeded about three miles from the town ' to afford protection to the collectors of ra t es f or that district : but having met with some resistance from the people, who were labouring under great ex citement, they returned to town to augment their force, which having done, they proceeded once more to the scene of action. The people were now pressing on them, and one of them unfortunately threw a stone at the police, when they immediately turned round and fired on them, when one man, whose name we were not able to learn, was shot dead, and three others wounded. We give the above hurried particulars as they have just been communicated to us." A statement of this calamitous occurrence, exactly similar to the above, appears in the Linzerick Chronicle of yesterday, with the exception that the locality is described as Desertserges, about three miles from Bandon, and not Skibbereen. DUBLIN, SUNDAY, QUARTER TO FIVE, P.M.—We . copy from the Southern Reporter of yesterday, the following afflicting details : " We received at mid-day yesterday, letters from correspondents at Skibbereen, giving an account of a most lamentable transaction, of which the neighbour hood of that place was the scene, on the preceding day, and in which one man was killed and two badly wounded. " It appears that there has been considerable oppo sition, by the country people in that district, to the collection of the poor-rate, and that it was deemed necessary to send out a large police force, at the head of which Mr. Gore Jones, stipendiary magistrate, and a Mr. Alymer, the nephew and agent of Lord Car bery, who resides in that country, placed themselves in order to enforce the collection. " It is impossible to accompany any statement which has been yet received of this affair with an assurance of its accuracy, and we therefore wait for further ac counts from the place, which we may receive in the course of this day. The letter, which we subjoin, is from a most respectable gentleman, and was written with a full reliance that what is stated in it was faith fully true ; nor is there anything in it, to lead to any doubt or distrust of its accuracy. Still we wait for further information : " ' Skibbereen, Nov. 17, 1842. " Our town to-day presents all the appearance of warfare. On getting into the streets this morning nothing was to be seen but Magistrates, amongst whom was Mr. Gore Jones, S.M., police, foot and mounted, commanded by sub-inspectors, making pre parations to proceed to the parishes of Creagh and Tullagh, to assist in distraining for poor-rates (which the farmers are determined not to pay). This mo ment my attention is arrested by the marching of this force past my window. I have counted seventy foot police, four horse, and two sub-inspectors, under the command of Mr. Gore Jones and Mr. Aylmer, Lord Carhery's agent. who, I understand, goes out to use his influence with the people (the greater part of whom are that nobleman's tenantry) to induce them to pay. I cannot help pronouncing this step of sending out large armed forces amongst a quiet peasantry, who are resisting a tax passively (which they imagine is oppressive), as impolitic, unwise, and uncalled for, and one only calculated to increase every opposition with out compassing any object, unless that which I fear will be the result. Should any unfortunate occur rence take place I will inform you. From the bon fires which were last evening lit on all the surrounding hills, I fear large masses of the people will show in the direction of the destination of the police.' . _ " ' Five o'clock. " I have this moment got particulars from a gen tleman who was at the scene, and upon his statement you may rely. One man, named I3awn, a widow's only son, was shot through the back in the act of run ning away, forty yards in the rear of the police, the ball passing through his heart. Two others were shot—the thigh of one dreadfully fractured, and an other through the calf of the leg. This took place at almost the chapel door of the parish of Rha. The particulars are stated to be these : " As soon as the police arrived at a place called Old Court, they were joined by a large number of country people, who shouted as they passed along, and who, as they proceeded, were joined by crowds, until the concourse numbered about 2,000 ; and as they reached Rha, Mr. Aylmer attempted to arrest a man who had a stick in his hand, and who resisted ; upon which a mounted policeman rode up and made a cut with his sword at him, when two or three boys threw stones, and thereupon orders were given to fire, without a word of expostulation, advice, or caution, upon which the police obeyed, and a firing was kept up until the face of a being was not to be seen.' " The Constitution of this morning has the following version. Of the conduct of the Magistrates as herein represented, who met on 'Wednesday, after the ad journment of the sessions, and of the resolution to which to which they are stated to have come, it is mpossible to speak but in approbation and praise ; and it is greatly to be lamented that the wise and humane determination to which they came, of using advice and remonstrance only, on Thursday, through Messrs. Aylmer and Jones, without the attendance of the police, was subsequently so totally departed from —to which the deplorable results that ensued may he attributed." The Constitution's account is this : " Of particulars we are not in possession, but all that prudent men could do was done by the Magis trates to induce a quiet compliance with the law. After the adjournment of the petty sessions court on Wednesday, the following gentlemen—A. o 'Driscoll, Hugh Lawton, Richard IL H. Becher Michael Gal way, A. P. Aylmer, D. O'Donovan, and Gore Jones, S.M., Esqrs.—retired t o their private room, accom panied by G. B. Drew, Esq., and William Gardiner, Esq., Sub-Inspector. Under the command of the latter, there had been assembled in Skibbereen a large portion of police for the purpose of levying the rate due Of a portion of the estate of Lord Carbery, near Bal timore, and where, on the_ The 7thinst., were the police , rh resisted and assau l te d . o bject of the meeting of Magistrate s was t o confer on the best means of exe cuting the law without recourse to force, and we un derstand the following humane resolution was unani mously adopted : " ' That A. P. Aylmer, Esq. (agent and nephew to Lord Carbery), with John Gore Jones, Esq., S.M., shall accompany the c ollector of poor - rate (Mr .

" The first who volunteered was Mr. Lawton, but neither he nor any of his brother Magistrates seem to have been called on. As far as we are informed, Mr. Aylmer and Mr. Jones were the only persons with the police. Resistance, we presume, was offered ; in deed, it is said that the police were pelted and severely struck with stones. Eventually , they were obliged to fire, and one man was shot, and three others, if not more, were wounded. Particulars may reach us be fore Tuesday, but at present we have nothing further in our possession." "REPORTER OFFICE, ONE O'CLOCK. — At this hour the coach which left Skibbereen at a very early hour this morning has arrived, but we have received no fur ther account from any correspondent there. " A sergeant of police, however, who came up by this conveyance, and was the bearer of letters for - the police department here, states that up telaasnstdunffie_grhedt the ascertained number of persons who had in the melancholy fray was two killed four severely wounded. Two troops of hussars, from Ballincollig, passed through Bandon last rein_forc e e v m en e i n n ts g, are required for Skibbereen, and furthe r required from Cork. The Coroner, Franklin Bald win, Esq., has gone down this mdona morning, to m a k e ar rangements for the inquest on ha y. The scene of the fatal affair was about five-a n d aAltiam- ore lf . miles from Skibbereen, in the directio n of B cc HALF-PAST ONE O'C LOCK. been received by the police authoriti di es sP h a e te re h , directing the the immediate transmission of men of the East Riding constabu ail lar o y ffi fo ce rc r e, a te nd Skib bereen. The messe ng e r states that the country for tmiles round continues to be grestly excited. A re port reached Skibbereen last night of the death of a THE LATE STORM AT MADEIRA. The following letter contains, probably, the be s t account that has hitherto appeared of the storm which has devastated Madeira:— FUNCHAL, OCT. 29.—Tc enable you to enter into the statement I am about to make, it is necessary that you should call to mind the physical character of the island of Madeira, which may be described as a chain of volcanic hills, ascending one above another, to a height of ab ou t 6 , 000 f ee t , an d i nt e rsecte d in all di rections by precipitous ravines, into which thousands of mountain-streams find their way, and are thus con ducted to the sea in torrents, varying at different sea sons in size and velocity. Of these large ravines three pass directly through the town of Funchal, and hare bridges thrown over them at suitable distances. They are called "ribeiras," and are distinguished by the names of St. John, San Luizia, and Our Lady of Calhao. In the• more elevated parts of the mountains these ravines, or fissures, are manyhundred feet in depth, but as th e hill s d ecrease in height the ravines diminish - in depth. In the upper hi ;par l ts . of Funchal they may be 30 or 40 feet d e ho i r n thelower hih . they come out on a level with p ; th w e s strewed with boulders brought down fromeiheweis moun tains during successive centuries. These are wl rounded by the long journies they have made, an d by e the buffetings of the angry torrents which orig ina lly disturbed them from their natural beds, and :l a ' h are ever unceasingly, though gradually, - propellin ge them onward towards the sea. After a heavy fall of rain the torrents rise with as tonishing rapidity, though, as their depth is great and the fall so rapid, they can dispose of almost any ordi nary quantity of water which may flow into them from the mountains. To form an estimate of how great this quantity must sometimes be, you should remember, first, that in this semi-tropical climate all the rain falls at particular seasons, those seasons being singularly short and the rains proportionately heavy while they last ; and, secondly, that from the nature of the country, whose rocks resist the infiltra tion of water, nearly the whole quantity of rain diffused over a surface of about thirty square miles is brought into these three ravines passing through the town. Funchal stands on the sea-shore, facing the south, and climbs the amphitheatre of hills which rise about it majestically with bold and angular outlines. The streets, following the slopes of the hills, are all more or less steep. They are narrow, and paved with large shingle pebbles, slightly inclined from the sides to the centre, to conduct the water from one street to another, till it finds a suitable egress in a ravine or in the sea. Through several of the principa streets, partly in na tural fissures of the rock, and partly in artificial con duits, some of the clearest and purest of the mountain streams are conducted undergrounkfor the supply of the town. In summer these " levadas," or aqueducts, are - always abundantly supplied; and, after rain, the rush of water through them is sometimes terrific. The rainy season, which generally lasts three or four weeks, set in on the 13th inst., since which rain has fallen for several hours every day. On the 17th and 18th it fell in torrents, accompanied by storms. of thunder and lightning. During ? . the three following days we had intervals of sunshine ; but the ribeiras had already swollen into rivers, which rushed with angry vehemence along their stony beds, forming a succession of foaming waves and cataracts. It was reserved, however, for Saturday, the 22d inst., to con vince us, by terrific example of the mighty power latent in that element by which the world was de luged, and ever ready to be exerted when it pleases God to " open the floodgates of Heaven." From morning till night, and from night till morning, the rain fell almost perpendicularly in steady, heavy streams. During Sunday and Sunday night there was little or no intermission. The sun and the moon were darkened. There were no clouds, but the sky was veiled in a mantle of waters. There was no fog, yet the sea before us, and the moun t a i ns i mme di ate l y above, were, even in the day-time, hidden from our view, for the rays of light passed through falling streams of water. If anything beyond our windows were visible, it was rather in the night than the day, when the liquid fire ran from peak to peak, mimicking in its jagged course the rugged outlines which it re vealed—but revealed only for a moment, to be again enveloped in their shroud of waters and of thunder clouds. On the morning of Monday, the 24th, hope was still deferred. The sky, which had been discharging itself for 48 hours, yet lowered heavily, and the rain descended without intermission. The barometer con tinued to fall, and gave indications of something worse yet to.come. Apprehensions now began to be Excited. All were on the alarm. In some less pro tected parts of the town destruction had already corn. rented its work. In the higher quarters most of the windows and many of the roofs of the houses proved an insufficient protection against the wet : in the lower, the ground floors were under water, and all moveables were stowed in the higher stories. Through the day the flood of waters continued. Alarm was converted into terror, and fear into the assurance of heavy calamity. In the afternoon, as the crisis approached, it was impossible to apply the mind to any casual occupation. The war of elements increased, and we could scarcely avert our eyes from. the windows, where the indistinctness of all we saw enhanced the terrors of the scene. About four o'clock the fury of the rain reached its climax, and never surely was the assurance conveyed by God's covenant bow more needed than new. For nearly three days it had rained in torrents, but now seas of war descended from the sky. It was no casual and passing waterspout, whose violence is quickly spent, and its effects, however dreadful, as speedily known; it was rather one continuous fall with the violence of successive water- spouts pro longed through several hours. It seemed as though the fountains of the great deep had been broken up and inverted over our heads. Nature's self was dis organized. The air was exchanged for an atmosphere of water, and this fair portion of God's creation, this bright oasis in the watery waste of the Atlantic, was threatened with dissolution—with being once again submerged under the ocean from which it issued at the fiat of the Eternal. The horrors of this awful day were enhanced by the unnatural sounds which met our ears. The noise of the water was deafening, as it poured into the streets from the elevated spouts on the roofs of some thousands of houses. The wind howled as it rushed down, from the mountains and whirled round the corners of the buildings ; while the torrents in the ribeiras thundered, as they rolled impe tuously down their inclined and rugged planes with the velocity, and almost with the precipitousness, of waterfalls. Not a human being was to be seen, ex • cept where a drowning man, whose house was under water, fled to a neighbouring abode for succour, or where a half frantic parent was hurrying in wild and fruitless search after his missing child. In these rare case the contest was short and decisive. Human strength was quickly prostrated in combat with the ' elements ; 'and the sea above, and the sea below, soon drove back the venturous sufferer -to his miserable dwelling. In the course of the night a sudden rise of_ w ater in the streets took place, not to be accountrdo o r f even the by the continuous rain ; and the destruc t io n f or cause lower part of the town seemed in evit able. was soon too obvious. The immense pressure o: water in the levadas, or subterranea n acqued uet above referred to, had caused them to burst, carry ingho away the pavement and the wallsofseyeal and leaving, instead of stree ts , deep chasms seve ral ho uses, filled_ up by huge stones and tragments of fallen buildings. At the same time one o f the ribeiras , that of Calhao, no longer able to contain the accumulating water, broke away the thick parapets raised on the surface on its rocky natural barrier, near the embou chure, and inundated the lower portion of the t own. Imagination can ill conceive, much less can words describe, the terrors of this moment. streetsWho-le of houses were evacuated. Their -occupants fled the roofs, and saw their property carried off into the se a. The warehouses (or, as they are called, stores) of some of the merchants participated in the general destruction, and pipes of wine floated along the streets. One gentleman is said to have lost 50, but no estimate can as yet be formed of the total loss of property. A subscription for the sufferers was immediately set on foot, in which the English are the chief movers. Many of our countrymen have contributed up to, if not beyond, their abilit y ; and, though only 200 or 300 in number, they have subscribed, tip to the pre sent hour, six times as much as the whole Portuguese gentry and middling classes; who, however, it is to be hoped, will follow their liberal example. Such a calamity has never been known in the island, nor any thing approaching to it, within the last forty years. In the early part of this century an inundation oc curred, ever since known by the name of " the Flood," in which more lives were lost, and some entire houses carried into the sea; but an Englishman who has lived here more th an half a century, told me that the fury of the elements was less on that occasion than on this ' • and that if the town had now been con structed as it was then, not a vestige of it could have survived. In those days the ribeiras were nar row, and no drains existed to convey into them the water from the streets; the houses were built of wood, and plantations of trees stood within the limits, or in the immediate vicinity, of the town. These, being carried down the ribeiras, and encountering masses of roc k, formed embankments, which early dammed up the beds of the torrents. Thus a comparatively small quantity of rain made them overflow their banks, and the wooden houses, severed from their foundations, were floated bodily into the sea, and traced by their lights (for it was night) as they gradually sank lower and lower into the devouring element.
