Bombay, has been burnt at sea. The news of the two
' latter ships have not been heard from.
The storm which commenced on Friday night, though
it has blown down chimneys and unroofed a few bermes,
has (we learn from our correspondent) done no very *thous
mischief in the neighbourhood of Manchester. There has
been no lois of life. An old man at Levenshulme, who
has seen yet summers, bad two ribs broken by • signboard
blown upon him, and there is reason to fear the injury
may prove fatal, owing to his extreme age. On the road

turnpike road it effected • through block, so that men had

traffic. The storm abated on Saturday, but the weather
continues rough and gusty at intervals.
A heavy gale of wind from the southward prevailed
during the whole of Saturday night at Stroud, in Glenmes-
terah re, in violence towards the morning. At
• quarter past 8 o'clock in the rooming • large gasometer
belonging to the Stroud Gm and Coke Company, °ales -
laded to bold 300,000 cubit feet of gas, wait blows over by
the force of the wind. The gasometer was situated at
about • quarter of • mile from the town, and in an ex.
ceedingly exposed position. The amount of damage cannot
at present be estimated.
Oa Friday night and Saturday morning the town and
neighbourhood of Sheffield were Welted by a tearful hero'
cane. which has caused the km of one life, many serious
injuries and • large amount of damage. The gale eon-
Itinned, during the whole of Friday night, the wind blow-
ing from the north-west. On Saturday it increased in
I violeeoe, and between one and two o'clock in the after-
' noon it was at its height. About that time • Pried-
. tin Methodist chapel in course of therm in Petrastrest
was vary much damaged, as the roof and • large portion of
both aides were blown down. Another chapel in course
of erection anti,belouging to the Reform Methodists at
Attereliffe, was damaged by one end of it being blown
down. Strange to say, both these chapels ware injured
by a lees violent gale which occurred some few week ago,
and in the case of the Petra-street chapel the damage thus
caused was only repaired on Friday. At Carbroos, which
is only • short distance from Atteroliffe, several newly-
built homes were blown down. In the town several
casualties are reported, she principal one resutrag in the
death of Mr. Bingham, • chemist and druggist,
Arnadel-anew. Behind his shop was an old
building which he used es a warehouse, and in
which was • large quantity of drugs and che-
mical'. At three o'clock in the al Menem be and his wife
were in the lower room, standing or sitting b the firm
when the wind blew down the chimney. The bricks broke
through the roof, and the tiles end raf tees and plaster were
too much for the weak floor beneath them, and toned
that down, while the falling of the roof and floor so disk-
aided the decayed outer wan that • largo part of it fell in-
wards, smiths whole tame—ebbetway, roof, floor, and wall
—buried the unfortunate men sad women some feet deep
in rubbiah. The accident was made more lamentable by
the breaking of a number of vessels containing strong acids
which were thus poured over the ruins, and
filled the *am with suffocating fumes, amidst
which, and sickened by them so to be obliged to

a severe bruise on the nose and another an the temple,
