On the day prece ding her departure a aeries of
melancholy disasters had occurred in New York.
About 2 o'clock in the morning a fire broke out in a
bakery in the Secord avenue. One of the journey-
met, in the establishment was burned to death; a
family in the building were compelled to escape by
leaping from a fourth story window, in the pertorm-
ance of which hazardous feat a woman was instantly
killed. Just as the steamer New World was about.

flues collapsed, causing the death of six persona, and
dreadfully scalding two otlters. In the afternoon a
hail storm, accompanied by lightning and a violent
wind, passed over the upper part of the city, during
which a new 3-sten y frame dwelling, in processor coin-
pletion, in Forty-third-street, near the Crystal
Palace, was blown down, burying eight or ten
workmen amid the ruins, three of whom were taken
out lifeless. Seven others were seriously wounded.
To conclude, a man lost his life by the fall of an-
other building in Forty-third-street, near the North
ricer; a man was struck dead by a flash of lightning,
sad a child of Mr. John Oberhuher was scalded to
death—making a total of 11 persona killed, and as
many others badly injured. Many buildings were
greatly damaged, and a large number of persons in-
jured by the storm in Williamsburg.
A telegraphic despatch from Northumberland, Pa.,
stated that the harvests and fruit crops in that
vicinity were greatly damaged by the hailstorm.
Many of the husbandmen, it was reported, would
lose their entire harvests. The lumps of hail there
as here were of extraordinary size, and thousands
of windows were broken. Despatches from Phila-
delphia and Baltimore complain of the intense heat.
There had been no rain in Baltimore for a month.
