ln Bracltord, (another correspondentin
forms us,) the cﬀects of the hurricane Were
peculiarly remarkable ; besides the demoli
tion of Hardy's house, large sticks of timber
were removed to the distance of 40 rods ;
a large apple-trce was taken np by the roots
and carried to the same distance; rocks
weighing halsa ton, was taken from the
penetsul bosom of the earth, where they
had slept for ages, and removed a Consider
able distzmce—in short, the power of de
scriptiontotally saiis to give an accurate
idea of the dreadful ravagcrs which were
made. and which can only be faintly con

produced. The horrurs of midnight dark
ness,attended by the tumulc and convul

tremendous, that the assrighted neighbor

NE'W—YORK, Octs-fic'r 10.
Captain Brown, passsienger in the hrig
Matilda, Arnold, from Laguira, gives us
the following information in writing :—
That late on the evening Us the 61h of Sep
t-si-mher, the bt'ig Jane, of Ncw-ank, Capt- '
Smart, arrived at Lagttira from Calcu:tn.—-]
On the morningos the Tth Capt. S. hoistcd
his colors as is usual in a foreign port, viz.
ensign. pe-ndant, and jack. At 8 0*c!0ck,
A. M. Capt. S. went on shore, and at a
bout 10, A. Is. a boat from his majesty's
brig Challenger, Cape. Rider, {thenlying
at Laguira, near the jane) came alongside
the ]nne; the officer of which ordered the (
mate of the jane to haul down his pendant ;
the mate replied that he should not, having
no orders from the captain to that eﬀect,
who was then on share. The officer ofthe
boat then ordered one of his men to haul
down the ]ane's pen-dant, which he did."—
About 12 0*clock, capt. S. with several o-]
ther gentlemen, of which capt. B. was one,
came on bonrd the jane ;. capt.-S. asked his
mate why the pendant was hauled down, he
informed him of what had happened, and
that he endeavored to prevent it. Captain
S. then ordered the pendnnt hoisted again,.
which was done ; and in about half an hour
the boat from the before ?:tentioned brig
Challenger camessalongside the jane, with
three officers, four mnrines, and four sai
lors, all completely armed ;. the Chailengetsi,
having previously three of her carrria
guns loaded and levesled at the jane. Th
first officer of the boat, who we supposed to
be the first Iieutenant, then ordered captai'n ,
3. to haul down his pendant ; capt. S. said :
he wouid not do it, not considering himself ;
underthe restrictions of a British man of:
war. The officer ofthe boat then ordered *
one of his men to haul the Iane's pendant si;
down, whichhe and they did by force ofsi
mma, and took it away with them. On;
their ieaving—thesi Jane, the office: requestcd :
capt. S. to gowith him on board the Chal- si
lenger, which capt. S. did : and- on getting
on board, capt R- asked him by what au
