^=========^^
Particular and Dilkdiing Account of a
recent Calamity at hL/eira.
(From Lang and Go's New-York Daily Gazette.)
This extraordinary event, which we briefly
noticed in mr paper of yederday, happened on'
Sunday the 9th of October, at 8 o'clock in the
evening. ihe day had been previonfly very
cloudy and a continual rain had fallen, accom
panied with squalls, which were not violent, until
the inn had funk beneath the horizon, when the
lea appeared to be unufirilly agitated, and Inch
a da:':nefs prevailed, that an object was not dis-;
cernable at a yard's distance—during tin's pro-
I^ rc ^ every person remained within their bcufes,
in Teeming fecuri!y, and wholly unconfeious of
I that approaching horror which was defined ft I (
film Ty to sweep them off the earth !
The clock of the cathedral was llrikin, eight, 1,
when an in Qtapeous storm of terrible lighten- |'
ing and thunder began, and the rain fell in such .[
torrents, that all the cross (freely of the eadern j.
part of the city of Funchall, were fnd,e^y filled 1
w,h mud and watei above the firfl floors of the 1 1
h'dfes, tehich 9 as occafi^ned by its being im-1
peded, in force meofure, from its furious defeent , 1
from ,e rallies of the mountains into the fea.<
At thr fhr» k: .g period the stoutest hearts felt 1
^npcJ/J; > <ang was to be heard but the din<
of ruin working in every direction : hundreds of'
huge n res, th a had been torn from their quar- 11
ties on toe bills three miles' above the town, were 1 1
tumbling over each oth r in stupendous concuf-'
fion, carrying with them, in conjunction with the
b deulge, churches,convents, streets, trees, bridges,
battlements, and eight hundred human beings
into th* bottom of the deep !—Whenever a flath
of h,htn&ng penetrated the gloom, were feeq
mothers wad.ng through the Greets, up. to their ।
Ichins in water,holding their infants on their heads /
I with one hand, and endeavouring to catch fecu- (
riry with the other : while thofif who attempted |
1 . to affiT them were frequently maimed or killed,
A bv the beams of timber or wine pipes which float- ,
■ ed.arcnnd them ; and the sea, preferred a feene |
■ not lef a—ftfl, though late ruinous ; mod of thefl
veff& 101 l their cables, anchors and boats, and I
m.my of die seamen were washed overboard. I i
The fl,ips rolled, in some part or other,fetc-cd
feet beneath the water continually, and all the
sailors who were there on that dismal night,
, whether Amer jeans, Eqglilh, 01 Por tugtufe, gave
themselves up as iort men.
Thus, info Ihort a space of time as a few
minutes, were many hundred individuals carried
to their eternal home, in the very plentitude of
aa apparent security ; and several thousand re
duced from affluence to poverty ; and many of
them, it is probable, in 0d indulgence of those
imperfections, winch cenhitute out criminality or
rur folly, and sent to theii account, "unblanched,
unannointetl, unannuled." Ten thousand pipes
of wine and brandy were destroyed, and the tea
dime was (killed 'on the ensuing morning with
millions of fragments, among wnich the mourn
ing furvivus of the calamity woe eagerly Pek
ing for the dead remains of their relations or
triends. Several cays .. er, the an of Funchihl
became so pwrefccn r . fom the ronin.; of the
bodies that v.ore, buried beneath the c %r<p.ded
mud and fibh, that a fertuence was apprehended ;
but in coh'fequ lie# of burring tar and pi-ch arid
other neutrauzrog.combuttibfc&, that fc<ro:ge^s
provide .lady avoided.
It mas remarkable that this dduj. in its
course, fwep: away twenty-nine vn cards that
were filtrated on rhe loun un fide of the cit, ;
tnddo deceive wa, the ruin, that it tore up all
the trees of the roots, and boie-away not only
them, but all the cottages, with their inhabitants,
the ground, carle and appurtenances, and left
the rocky ball*, as bare of vegetation as the cliffs
of Norway, all this aflemblage ot objects, were
whirled into the Ribeira Drava, or mad river,
and ingulphed nearly the whole of the small town
which bears that name.
In -his wreck cf matter there was but one hu
man creature laved, and that was an infant in a
wooden cradle, which was lodged among feme
reeds on the fide of the declivity, and when dis
covered on the enluing day, was in a profound
sleep :—This unconfeious infant was laved fiom
its ignorant e of fear, as it is in the nature of fear,
to couoeradt its own desires.
All the vessels that arrived at Funcha.ll, for
Several weeks after this miserable occurrence,
gave an account of-the dead bodies, calks, and
boxes which'they, had seen floating many leagues
off at sea ; and it is relieved that fme of ihe
crews were considerably enriched by the cot en
^fmany of the trioks.
'Th6 frnall town of Machico, was likew:fc rb-
; ned by this Ghgular fempeU, and cv fve:
vere led there also; which leads toaiefpfi ^

HYPOTHESIS.
Is it not probable we (ball haven mild winter,
from the following circumstances?
ri In the months of June and July, the weather was
extremely warm. At that time the ice broke away
from the regions of the pole and floated cown 'he
Atlantic to the southward. The latter end of An
grift and in the month of September, it is well
kn wn that St had arrived w the latitude of New
foundbod, qs the Britifb packet was cast away a
bout that time by running #ga ; nft a mountain of
iceyin a Northern paflage to Europe, Whilff ^j
wil fluting dewn our coaCfylhe weather was cold ;
and it is provable that the ice which would have^i
r.ved as ulual in ourl authors, during the Vinter
months, has now palled along and melted away.
It is therefore prefumeable, that as one of the cau
ses of hard winters has been removed, that the ap-,
preaching one will be comparatives mild.—.Tb^
: may also account for the frotis that have appeared
in some of the eastern states during the l.fl fumrotr.
: The thorns of America are knowrno.be vev low,
and of c< urle the continent as far as the mountains .
. woul fbe easily acctffible to that co.d air wh.cb was
waft&lrr mthe ice as it floated alorg. Although
it uzs cold in the Welle n country, yet there were
no fr^fl to be discovered ; which wrs perhaps cw-j
:ngtoth< Atlantic winds being measurably broke
io their pll ge over the Blue rirte avu Aihgany:
mountains. [R^fvey Gazette jj
