THE HURRICANE AT ST. THOMAII.

ARRIVAL OF THE DOURO.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 21.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Douro,
Captain Bevis, with the above mail, has arrived
here. She brings 36 passengers, specie to the
amount of sBBl,746—consisting of $119,728 'in
gold, $162,018 in silver, pearls valued at $11,500,
diamonds valued at $3,375, 290 serons Indiarubber,
236 serons indigo, 195 bales tobacco, 59 casks of
coffee, 75 bales cascarilla, 212 serous bark, and 106
packages of sundries.

Her dates are Grey Town, October 16th ;
Demerara and Tobago, Oct. 23d; Jarnaioa
and Antigua, Oct. 24th ; Trinidad, Grenada,
and St. Vincent, Oct. 25 ; St. Lucia, Barbadoes,
Martinique, Guadaloupe, and Dominique, Oct.

During her passage home one death took place on

yellow fever had occurred. Free pratique had
been granted to her, and the mails, 45 sacks, toge-
ther with two passengers were landed at Plymouth.
The Douro left at 12.39 p.m., to proceed to South-
ampton. _ _

ST. THOMAS, Nov. 5.

On the 19th ultimo St. Thomas and the sur-
rounding islands were visited by a severe hurricane.
At St. Thomas great damage was done among the
shipping, about 80 vessels being sunk or blown
ashore. In the town houses were unroofed, and in
many cases thrown down by the gale, and by three
shocks of earthquake which occurred at the same
timo. Business was completely at a standstill for
several days. Tortola was also visited by tire hur-
ricane, and several houses were blown down. The
report of its being submerged is contradicted by the
captain of the Solent, which vessel lay about two
miles from the town. He states as his belief that
not more than 100 lives were lost on that island,
and those only by the fall of houses.
The Royal Mail Company's steamship Wye
was totally wrecked on Buck Island while at-
tempting to put out to sea. Out of 70 men only
13 of her crew were saved. Among them were
five whites, including the captain, the chief officer,
and the boiler maker ; all the rest were drowned.
The captain was on board the Tyno at the time.
The Rhone was wrecked off Salt Island, about 25
miles from St. Thomas, while endeavouring also to
get out to sea. She was driven on to a reef and
broke up. The captain and all the officers were
lost, and only one passenger and 23 of the crew
were save.

The Conway was blown ashore at Tortola,
where she lost her funnels and masts, but was
otherwise uninjured, and may be got off. The
Derwent was blown ashore from her moorings in
St. Thomas's harbour and much damaged. The
Tyne and Solent rode out the gale at Paper Island
at anchor, with her engines working ahead. The
Tyne lost her foremast, and the Solent three masts.
None of the crews of the Conway, Derwent, Tyne,
or Solent perished.

The following are the crew of the Rhone who
were saved :—George Sherwood, boatswain ; Geo.
Olderman, captain of the hold ; Charles Mudie,
boatswain's mate.. Able seamen—J. L. Eaton
*Kean, George Wallace, Frederick Hannaford,
John Pihner, Charles Brunswick. Ordinary sea-
men—John Bailey, John Askell, John Manns,
Henry Buckle, David Reece, John Jones, Thomas
Tugnarn, Frederick Pearie, Francis Buowen,
Charles Berrie, Robert Barter, Auguste Jaurion,
John Bryan.
During the hurricane the Vasco Nunez de Bilboa,
a Spanish war vessel, was dismasted in St. Thomas'
harbour, and otherwise damaged, but was able to
steam about the harbour, saving as many lives of
the other damaged vessels as possible.
_

H.M.S. Doris arrived at St. Thomas Nov. 5, and
the Niobe was expected.
The following are among the further damages
done to the shipping at St. Thomas's :—The West
Indian and Pacific steamship Columbian was sunk
in St. Thomas's harbour alongside other wrecks.
The steamer Robert Todd was ashore much damaged ;
the Agnes Lamb dismasted and much damaged,
the barque Howard ditto, Her Majesty ashore and
a complete wreck, R. Scotes ditto, Wild Pigeon
ditto, Princess Alice (a brig) ditto, Ida Abbot
ditto, the Hope ditto, part of her cargo was
saved ; Procter, a schooner, sank in the
harbour, Ocean Queen ditto; Water Witch
ashore and a complete wreck; the Elizabeth
sunk in harbour, Norman ditto,. Nimble ditto, Lud-
wig Holm complete wreck, Nordskov ditto, Yolk-
