The severe storm whisk pawed over the metropo-
lis oa Sunday morning mid with equal violence ou several
points of the coast. The wind blew in fearful gusts, with
torrents of rain and hail, and heavy thunder. In the more
western parte the wind rimed with the force of • hurricane,
accompanied with fierce lightning and • deluge of rain, a
tremendous sea breaking along the mud. 'the seagoing
steamers which arrived in the river yesterday, and were
several hours overdue, report having encountered the most
severe weather. The Hull steimsnip, winch should have
reached London-bridge on Sunday about noon, did not come
up until between 0 and 10 yestenlay morning.
A few miles below the Nose, a brig, called the Delta,
bound to London from the Tyne, was run down by the Re-
solute, screw steamer, which was on a passage to Goole.
In the Swin and along the eastern coast there wee the
same fearful weather—heavy squalls, and torrents of rain,
with thunder and lightning. The brig Thomas and Eliza-

Cluntleet Sauds, and the fete of the crew is uncertain.
Nothing has been beard of them. On Sunday, about
one o'clock, the storm burst with awful fury over
the Lowestoft range of coast. Several ships that were
riding iu the roadstead parted from their anchors, and
• three-masted schooner. reported to belong to Bremen,
went ashore near Pakebeld. The brig Confidence,
