Accounts from New Orleans state, that a destruc-
tive avalanche occurred there. It took place between
Conti and St. Louis's streets ; the whole of the allu-
vial deposits in front of that part of the City, together
with a part of the old levee, gave way, carrying with
it the Bayan Sara wharf, which was completely de-
stroyed. Six fathoms of water remain on the spot.
The wharfs extending from Conte-street to St. Peter's-
street, are in the most miserable condition, some of
them being entirely destroyed.
