DREADFUL HURRICANE.

ABERDEEN, OCT. 27.

On Saturday and Sunday last, we were visited
with one of the most tremembais gales which have
been experienced on this coast far many years. It
commenced en Saturday afternoon, and continued
during that night, and till late on Sunday night,
blowing from N. and N.N.W. in squalls of unexam-
pled violence, accompanied with snow and sleet ;
and we regret to learn, has been productive of most
disastrous consequences to the shipping, but more
particularly along the coast From the direction of
the storm, the shores of the Moray-frith have chiefly
suffered; the various creeks and harbours from
Buckie to Kinnaircrs Head presenting one continued
scene of devastation ; among which, we are grieved
to mention, that the new harbours of Banff and
Macduff have sustained incalculable damage. The
works at Nliteduff, to which the noble and patriotic
proprietor had contributed solargely, are nearly de-
stroyed. At Redhyth, Cullen, Portknockie, Buckie,
and Rottenslough, great quantities of herrings and
other property have been carried off, and many
fishing boats dashed to pieces. At the last mentioned
creek, the sloop Industry was put ashore, and has
become a wreck—crew and part of her materials
saved : and at Portsoy the piers, which bad stood
above 100 years, have been carried away, and about
10001. value of herrings lost. During the violence
of the gale, public worship was entirely suspended,
the people being employed in endeavouring to save
their property, and secure their dwellings. A foreign
brig, loaded with flax and flax sect], is on shore in
Band:bay, and her mate said to he drowned; and a
vessel, loaded with herrings, driven ashore at Port-
knockie, crew saved; but the cargo entirely lost.
At Pvterhead, the sloop Aid, hauling oil at the
South Quay, was driven from her moorings, and
totally wrecked on the west aide of the bay; about
20 tolls of oil have been saved, and 16 lost. We arc
also sorry to learn, that the breakwater at the new
harbour received some considerable datuage, but the
extent had not exactly been ascertained, owing to
the continued violence of the surf.

We aubjoin the following from our correspondents
at Fraserburgh and Stonehaven:—

FRASLHBURGH.

A shocking spectacle present itself this morning
on the north side of Kinuaird-s-head lighthouse,
where during the night the brig Adonis, of Liver-
pool, had been driven on the rocks, and dashed to
pieces, and all on board perished; the wreck of both
vessel and cargo strewed along the shore, exhibiting
an awful catastrophe, the cargo consisting of hemp
and tallow. Several dead bodies wore repeatedly
seen teals forenoon, dashing against the fate of the
racks by the violence of the waves, one of whom had
the appearance of having been a passenger, as he
had on a long black clout:. Several articles of chil-
dren's clothes have been also washed on shore. On
a small part of the stern was " Adonis, Liverpool;"
and on u sign board, " Adonis, George Atkinson,
for Oporto."
