a terrific gale of wittd raged over the metropolis and
suburbs, continuing nearly the whole of the day, causing,
unfortunately, the loss of more than one life and severe
injury to several persons. About Isalf•pa.4 7 o'clock 11l
tha morning the residents of Grove-lane, ranilwrwc4l,
and vicinity were alarmed by hearing a dreadful crash,
when it WILA discovered that a wall thirting the road-
way, about 27 feet in length and nearly 15 feet high,
bad been forced down, together with three very
trees, the latter being snapped off close to the
