DREADFUL EFFECTS OF THE HURRICANE.

BOULOGNE, SEPT. I.—The shipwrecks on this
coast have not been confined to this solitary one,
awful as it has been in its results. IV, have also,
with sorrow, to state that the Anne Amelia, which left
Calcutta on the 24th of March last, has become a
total wreck on the sands, about six miles to the
west of Boulogne. The crew.and the passengers,
with the exception of three, have been saved. A
letter says—" The Anne Amelia, a vessel belonging
to the East India Company, is on shore at Bou-
logne. Her cargo, consisting of the prodiice of the
East, sugar and indigo, estimated at 150,0001., it is
feared will prove totally destroyed. One passenger
and three sailnis were drowned."
CALAIS.--A large Dutch ship, laden with GOO
hogsheads of sugar, is lost on the coast near Calais.
Port lease, Sept. 1, 1833.
" The Ebenezer, Ratford, is become a complete wreck,
and almost all the cargo lost, Six puncheons of rum
alone were saved."

DOVER, SEPT. 2.—We had four arrivals to-day
from France, bringing 130 passengers. The ac-
counts from Calais and Boulogne are of the most
disastrous kind; it is reported that upwards of a
dozen vessels have been lost between Dunkirk and
Boulogne. A Dutch East Indiaman was struck
with a tremendous sea, to the eastward of Calais,
and went instantly to pieces, and out of a crew of
25 persons 19 were drowned. The Hull Packet,
of Newcastle, with coals, was also on shore near
Calais. The crew of the George and Elizabeth,
of Newcastle, Hicks, master, six in number, landed
here to-day, the ship having foundered on the Good-
win "sands the gale. The Liberty collier, of
Dover, has come in much darmiged.
ESSEX.—The winds of Friday and Saturday have
committed much mischief in this neighbourhood,
and generally throughout the country. The injury
has been principally sustained by gardeners. One
gardener alone in this town has gathered 60 bushels
of feller] fruit from his orchard. The wind appears
to have visited Writtle Lodge with the violence of
a hurticatte, and, front iis destructive effects in the
grounds, brings io our recollection the ravages com-
m tted in Thortidon Park by the hurricane in 1831.
The grands are literally strewn with the dismem-
bered limbs of trees; several are broken eff at the
bottom of the trunk, and others much splintered
A fine ash lies across the lake, forming a temporary
bridge. An elm, twelve feet in circumference, and
sixty in length, has been laid prostrate, and which,
falling upon a walnut tree only three feet distant,
also levelled that to the ground. A plantation of
between 80 and 90 walnut trees, at the back of the
mansion, has been stripped of more titan half the
fruit, and innumerable branches torn off, some of
them nearly 30 feet in length. It is calculated that
not fewer than a hundred bushels of walnuts are
lying under the trees, notwithstanding there is now
neatly an average crop remaining upon the branches.ln neatly

KENT.—Our readers may
recollect
Hop notice of last week we remarked' itat
was
the opinion of good judges that nothing but ,4
vere hurricanes" could be expected to prevent a
good crop. We little thought, while mentioning
this improbable contingency, that our next number
would contain the derails of a degree of devastation),
-arising from that very cause, which hat, not been

equalled for upwards of twenty years. Such, how-
ever, is the melancholy fact. On Friday the tem-
perature fell very suddenly, and at night a strong
gale came from the South-west, and was attended
with abundance of rain, sleet, and in some instances
snow. After a few hours, it changed to W.N.W.,
and continued to blow with increased fury. This
gale continued, with heavy rain at intervals, in dif-
ferent parts of the county, till Sunday at noon, when
the rain ceased, but the wind continued fresh. The
mischief this storm has done to the hops is almost
incredible. In Mr. Corrall's hop-ground near Maid-
stone, where the poles are of the hest description, arid
from 16 to 18 feet. high, they have not been com-
pletely levelled to so great an extent as has been
the case in many grounds. They are many of them
worse, namely—leaning on each other, so that every
motion bruises the hops. The roots of the bines
have been, in many instance, drawn from a foot to
six inches out of the ground, the straining of which
must effectually check the bine from notirisitig the
hop, even if the weather should become fine. In
East Farleigh, Mr. Pope's grounds, of Fant, have
suffered greatly, and one pole in three is down,
besides the destruction caused by bruising. In
West Farleigh, the poles have not been so generally
levelled, but the wind has cut off so many of the
collateral branches, that one-third of the crop will
be lost. It is calculated that in this neighbourhood
it will cost 54 an acre to raise the poles, a very
great number of which have broken off into the
ground, from their present confused and jumbled
positions. At Loose the ground is also strewed with
the produce, which has been in some instances cut
from the poles as if with a knife. Hardly a good
ample will come out of this parish. Messrs.
Peales' grounds have suffered severely. So dread-
ful was the hurricane at this place, that five trees
were torn up by the roots, and the fruit trees have
been nearly stripped of the best fruit. One farmer in
this parish, who had calculated on about 6,000 bushels
of beautiful apples, has at least three thousand bushels
scatte ed over his orchards. It may, perhaps, be
riot out of place to mention here, that instead of
rushing to market with these windfalls, where the
grower w,ll hardly get enough to pay him for the
picking them up and the carriage, he would do
much better to pen them up round the root of
the trees, perfectly unsheltered; for then the air
will ripen the parts that are not bruised, and
render them nearly as valuable for making cider as
if they had been gathered from the tree. The
plums, pears, and damsons, are also terribly scat-
tered. In Barming, arid the adjoining grounds, the
devas.ation has been terrible. Whole patches,
containing as many as a dozen hills, have been all
levelled together. In many gardens half the poles
are on the psalm', and those which are sTanding
are more injured than the others. No hurricane
has done so much mischief in this neighbourhood
since that between the 31st of August and tile
, Ist of September, 1816—a rather remarkable coin-
cidence of da es. The grounds of Mr. Ellis, who
is, perhaps, the largest grower in the kingdom,
have suffered in an equal degree. Those of the
Rev. Mr. Post have lost one-third of the crop,
and Mr. Platte's have also endured a very sever,
visitation. At '-aiding, the grounds situated in
the valleys have been damaged more than those in
more exposed places : probably in consequence or
the wind catching the tops of the poles, instead
of partly expending its force beneath the head of
the bunt. In Crantirook and the Weald of Kent our
correspondent tells, " We were visited on Friday
night with the calamity, innocently suggested in
last week's Gazette as the only despoiler of our
cheering prospects and lively anticipations. Severe
hurricanes have continued to the destruction of the
beauty of our grounds, and the greatest injury to
the produce. The hop gardens are strewed with
branches, and in many instances half the poles are
levelled. The orchards also have most severely
suffered ; in some scarcely any fruit remains on the
trees. On the Canterbury road the farmers' hopes
have been equally blighted. The same remark ap-
plies to the Mailings and several other places. Tire
general effect of the storm, however, has been so
similar, that it is needless to enumerate them. The
only grounds that seem to have suffered less than
the above are those of Sutton, Headcoin, and Bex-
ley. The best grounds, however, are expected to
lose at least a bag an acre. The Geldings arid
Rufflera can never recover it, but the Grapes may
still be expected to make some progress. The par-
tial loss of the crop will not be by any means equal
to the injury done to the samples, which must be
considerably deteriorated all over the county." We
cannot close this account, without expressing a
hope that the clergy will take into consideration
this awful visitation on the industrious farmer ; and
that we shall see, in the remission of a proportion
of their tithes, a few specimens of that Caristian
charity which, unfortunately for the industrious
classes, have recently appeared like angels' visits,
" few and far between." Maidstone Gazette,
Sept. 3.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 31.—Wind N., blowing a gale
all the morning, but moderated after high water. The
Thomas, Burrow, from Tortola for Lancaster, was
wrecked yei-terday morning below Sunderland, near
Lancaster—Captain saved. The Beverley, from
St. John's, is on shore near Hoylake. A sloop
sunk near Puffin Island to-day. A small vessel ap-
parently a sloop, was drifting up the Dee this af-
ternoon, a complete wreck.
LYNN, SEPT. 1.-It blew a complete hurricane
here all yesterday from N.N.W. to N.N.E. The
Suffolk, of Southwold, was driven on a bank in the
harbour and upset. The Margaret was totally lost
in our roads last night, with the crew. The Anticus
sunk in the Channel— crew saved. Several other
vessels are reported ashore below, but cannot yet be
made out. Five p.m. It still blows very hard from
N.N.E.

PADSTOW, AVG. 31.—The Ebenezer is on shore
at this place dismwed, and wish seven feet water
in the hold—crew saved ; a cargo and stores being
saved. The Flora ran on shore at Mawgan
Porth, having split her mainsail in the
gale—the crew was saved. A survey has been
held, and prompt measures adopted to preserve the
vessel.

PETERHEAD, AUG. 29.—The London, from Me-
mel for Halifax, put in here to-day, with loss of
anchor, cable, and •ails, much strained, and very
leaky; she cannot proceed.
RAMSGATE, SEPT. I.—lt has blown a tremen-
dous gale from N.N.W. since yes erday morning,
and still continues unabated. The Raton, from
Sunderland, sunk in Sandwich-bay, and will be
lost ; crew saved, and landed here yesterday. The
Caroline, from Antwerp for London, is riding, to-
tally dismasted, off the North Foreland; an anchor
and chain have been sent off to her hence. A brig
and schooner drove on the Goodwin Sand last night,
and are wrecked ; the crews, it is apprehended,
will be drowned, as no boat can possibly get near
them. Another schooner, said to be from Stettin,
foundered ; crew saved, and landed at Broadstairs.
SCARBOROUGH, AUG. 31.—Last night, about
eleven &elm k, it came to blow a tremendous gale
from N.E., with a heavy sea, and incessant tor-
rents of ram, which still continue. A fi.hing
cable blink ; crew drowned. The Diana, in coming
for the harbour, ran aga list the outward pier, and
instantly sunk; crew saved. The wreck has since
floated on the beach. The Lively's Increase, from
Stockton, went ashore on t►re beach, south of the
Spa; etew saved by the life-hoar ; vessel expected
to become a wreck. The Lark, from Sunderland
far Bridlington, is on shore on Filey Sand, in a very
dangerous s;tuation; crew tived. There is also a
ves•el on shore under Speeton
WELLs, SEPT. I.—We had a very heavy gale
from the N.N.E. all yesterday and last night, which
still continues. Several vessels are ashore upon the
coast. Some foreign woolpacks have been picked
up, marked " H. H. and Co., H. arid others
" W. B. and Sons, Wakefield ;" and some barrel
of herrings, marked " J. Nesbar,Eyemouth, 1833,"
The Bellow is on shore to the westward; crew
saved. A schooner, name at present unknown, is a
total wreck, and all hands drowned. The Tyne, of
Berwick, is on shore westward, bottom upwards;

crew drowned. Two brigs are on shore eastward,
one with her foremast gone. A brig is now off
here with loss of topmast, and it is feared must come
on shore.
WHISTABLE, SEPT. 1.-It has blown a tremen-
dous gale since Fr day from the W.S.W. The
Mina has been on shore on the Isle of Sheppey,
hut is now afloat, with loss of anchors and cables.
The barge Dore, of Rochester, is on shore on
Swalescliff. The barge Earl of Liverpool, from
London to Feversham, has been assisted in here
with loss of anchors and cables. The Mary, of
Rothsay, for Cardiff, has lost anchor and cables.
Thirteen fishing vessels belonging to this place have
been driven on shore.

WALTON.—Friday night the sea was territically
grand. A sudden " puff" of wind snapped in two
the boa sprit of one of the pleasure vessels, in which
a small party had started for a sail in the morning,
bnt the vessel, which was thrown on her side, im•
mediate!), righted, and the accident being observed
from the jetty, a boat was put off, in which the party
were landed in safery.—Essex Herald.
YARMOUTH, AUG. 31.—The Cleveland, from
Stockton to London, sprung a leak off Orford, and
has been assisted in here : she must discharge.—
SEPT. I. It bete a very heavy gale all last night
from the north, and still continues. A large brig
is riding in the roads, with her cargo (supposed
grain) shifted, and her bowsprit gone. The Hero,
of this place, is on shore near the South Ham.
MARGATE, SEPT. 2.—The storm with which we
have been visited during the last two days, although
c.msiderably abated, has not entirely subsided; and
the steamer had considerable difficulty in getting out
of the harbour this morning. No boat left for Lon-
don on Saturday or Sunday. The damage to the
town and neighbourhood has been considerable ;
the jetty has been much injured, and a vast number
of small' craft has been destroyed.

The storm of wind and rain on Saturday, made
terrible havoc among the fruit at Newark. The
trees in most of the gardens and orchards were
completely stripped of their fruit, and apples lay
like acorns s'rewed on the ground. Numbers of
trees %, ere split in two, and many torn up by the
rows. Several houses were partly unroofed, and
several chimnies were blown down. Houses and
cellars were deluged with water. One poor fellow
who kept a pig in his cellar, found when he got up
that the water had got in, and poor piggy was
drowned. It rained without intermission for 17
hours. Numbers of windows were broken by slates
arid tiles from the houses. A large wall in Albion-
street was blown down. The damage done is in-
deed very great.—Stamford

DISASTERS ON THE -COAST.—The weather, dur-
ing the latter part of the week, was extremely bois-
terous, with Iresvy falls of rain. Several vessels
have been wrecked on the adjacent coast by the
violence of the gales. On Thursday night, the
Thomas Burrows, Dawson, from Tortola, for Lan-
caster, came to anchor off Sunderland, near that
port. D :ring the night, by some accident, she
drifted, and, striking on a bank, overset. The crew
escaped in the boat; bur Captain Dawson, who was
anxious to save the ship's papers, was unfortunately
drowned ere he could quit the cabin. On the fol-
lowing night the wind blew a strong gale from the
northward, and the rain fell in torrents. The mer-
cury in the barometer fell very low. The vessels at
anchor in the river rode out the gale with difficulty,
one 01 two of them having dragged their anchors.
The inward-bound vessels kept out at sea, and
ran in with safe.), on Saturday forenoon, with
the exception of the barque Beverley, from
Saint John's, New Brunswick, whin, after
showing signals of great distress, ran ashore
on the Dove Point, to the westward of Lea-
s we Lighthouse, and near to the entrance of Ches-
ter river. At low-water the vessel is high and dry.
One of the river steamers was driven on shore not
far from the spot where the Beverley struck. Part
of the wreck of a large sloop or schooner was float-
ing near Hilbre I land : the vessel is supposed to
have been wrecked, during the night, on the banks.
Her cargo appeared to have been grain. A sloop
was also discovered to Lave been wrecked on Puffin
Island, in Beaumaris Bay. In the course of Snow-
, day a smack sunk near the Voryd, and all hanJs pe-
rishtd. The gale con.inued on SA' urday night, the
Russian ship Richard Brandt, which was at anchor
in Bootle Bay, drifted and ran foul of the Princess
Victoria, whose bowsprit was carried away. The
Richard Brandt brought up in the Sloyne. These
are all the disasters we have as yet heard of; we
fear, however, that several more must have happened
during the gales.—Liverpool Albion.
The Lincolnshire coast has been visited with the
most violent storm which has occurred for many years.
During the whole of Friday night, Saturday, and
part of Sunday, the wind blew a perfect hurricane,
and nothing could withstand its violence. Boston
and its neighbourhood has suffered severely, hut
scarcely to the extent that might have been expect-
ed from the fury of the gale. At Swineshead, the
top of a mill belonging to Mr. Jessop has been
blown off, and the road called Abbey-lane was so
thickly covered with the branches of trees, that the
carrier between that place and Boston was unable to
proceed until many of them had been cleared. The
tide rose to so great a height in Boston, that the
houses in Woinigate, and many other streets, were
literally flooded, the water rushing in with alarming
viulence. The Lincoln steam-packet, which should
hove arrived by four o'clock on Saturday afternoon,
did not reach Boston until two o'clock on Sunday
morning. The loss of life and property on the coast
has been very great; three vessels were driven on
shore near Skegness, and we hear that us many as
fourteen or fifteen bodies have been washed upon
that part of the coast alone: ten distressed fellow-
creatures were saved from impending death by that
admirable invention, the life-boat. We hare beard
many reports, and the names of several vessels have
been mentioned to us as lost, but until these ru-
mours are confirmed we forbear saying more, from
respect to the feelings of those who may have
friends or relations at sea. Otte of the vessels
driven on shore at Skegness was laden with coals,
and another was in ballast.
The gardens and the timber trees at and about
Spalding have suffered greatly from the violence of
the wind on Saturday : several large trees have
been laid prostrate, arid scarcely any remain with-
out having, lost some of their limbs.
On Sunday morning a gendemar at Spalding
picked up in his garden 14, so allows and a great num-
ber of sparrows, that had been killed on Saturday
by being dashed against the trees and walls, and in
the evening he picked up nearly as many more,
killed in the same manner either on Saturday or
that day.
Horecastle and its neighbourhood has been been
visited with one of the most violent storms of wind
and rain ever recollected; tiles, trees, arid chimney-
pots are blown down in every direction, both in the
town and on the roads near it. Report says great
havoc has been made in Scrivelsby Park, the seat of
the Hon. Champion Dymoke. The storm began
on Friday at four o'clock in the afternoon, and raged
with unabated vifienee through the whole of Sa-
turday.—Boston Herald.

SUIPWRECKS —During the severe gale, on Friday
night, a cobble was lost off Scarborough, and three
men were drowned. A collier was also wrecked
on the Spa Sands. We hear also that another
ves.4el Was stated to have loundered, and that the
crew, eight in number, were lost. We greatly fear
that serious accounts will be received from other
parts of the Yorkshire coast.— York Courant.
On Friday night, we had a tremendous gale of
wind, accompanied by continued and violent showers
of rain. In many exposed situation:, the wind blew
in several pane, of glass.—Brighton Guardian.
THE EFFECTS OF THE STOR3I.—IL Is a rather re-
markable proof of the viol, nee of the late storm; that
several sea fowls were observed, on Sunday last,
hovering about Foss islands, in the suburbs of this
city, some of which were shot.—York Courant.
