JAMAICA. PAPERS.

KINGSTON, OCT: 17.--During the greater part
of Monday, there' was a considerable fall of rain,
with a heavk•s.well Cairn the southward, and strong
indications of an approaching storm. Between
the hours of six and seven of that evening, the
wind .began to blow With great violence, and about
midnight had increased to a•perfect harricane, the
sea being at. the • same time dreadfully agitated,
passing over the diffe.rent wharves, and sweeping
every thing iu its overwhelming course. The
weather' Continued:in:this' boisterous state until
eight o'clock next .morning, when the fury of the
wind considerably abated, and copious torrents of
rain fell during the remainder of that (14. Many •
out-houses, fences, &c. were blown down in the
city on Monday night,, great damage (tone to
many of what ves,• and Many vessels in the har-
boar sunk; and driven ashore; few, of
them, indeed, escaped without damage. Qn Tues-
day evening, the 'weather again became boister-
.ons, and the wind b16,,v violently during the
night. Ott Wednesday, about noon, it ceased,
and there were only a few light showers during.
the latter p4rt of that day.
The wharves ~vhich- have suffered are thoie of
Me,33ls. Floseason, Banks, and Co. Mr. 'joint
Jones, Messrs. Purcell and Pacifico, Mr. John
Scott, Mr. Wm. Cleland, Messrs. highs, Mills,
and Co. and Messrs. ' James Dick and Alex.
Evans. The hulks of Messrs. Crawford and

rera, and Mr. Thomas Farmer, aiso receiVed con-
siderable

The h.,uses a;ld several fences were blown
down in ti)e to:vn of fort Royal during the gale,
and ,the sea ran so l' gll as to carry away all the
turtle-crawls, when about 80 turtles escaped.
The., road hrtween Spanish Town and this city
was impassable until yesterday, the water having
risen to the height of four feet, On Wecintsday,
a horse,. belonging to Mr. WilHun t\itor-
ney at law, was drowned in it, his servant Navin,,
attempted to drive through it. The Rio-Cabre
was so much swollen, that the water reached the
top of the arch of the' iron bridge, being four feet
higher than it has ever,been known to rise.

'f he Manunee-bridge turnpike carriage road, in
St. Andrew's, has also sustained great injury,
nearly from 150 to 200 'feet of it, near the Hope
guff-011r, tiavi 'been- Completely-- swept` will
from the foundation, so that it has become, totally
impassable even. for passengers on horseback,who
are now under the necessity of making use of the
Old road.

'Letters from different parts of the St. Andrew's,.
Port Royal, and St. David's mountains, give de-
plorable accounts of the effects of the storm in
those districts—the negro habitations on many
plantations having been entirely blown down-----
plaintain-wiillis every where destroyed—great
quantities of cafee-trees torn up by the roots,
and many fruit and other trees also blown down.
Many properties on the North :;\i‘de have also
snffered severely ,• and in St. George's, .the ter-
rible disease among the negroes, which was so
fatal there two years ago, had again made its ap-
pearance. On one Coffee plantation alone., 14
tregroes had died within a few days.
