THE HIGH

WIND-NUNEROUS

ACCIDENTS.

Last night, about nine ,o'clock, the metropolis was
visited by a violent gale from N.N.W., which continued
throughout the night, and up to twelve o'clock this day,
with scarcely any abatement, accompanied at intervals
with heavy rain. Large branches were torn from the
tree; at Camberwell, Dulwich, and Norwood, and the
wooden fences in various placeS were thrown down.
Many of the streets were strewed with broken chimney-
pots, slates, coping-atones, &c. In George-street, Cam-
berwell, two stacks of chitnnies were blown down. At
No. 7, Walworth-road, near the Elephant and Castle,
two large chimney slacks were destroyed. In Fleet-
street, at Honey and Skelton'i, the hair-dressers, a part
of the side of the house which projects from the a•-i-
-joining house, was blown completely into the attic.
About ten o'clock this morning, a coloured gas lamp,
value about twenty guineas, was blown from over the
door of Messrs. Paget-, tea-dealers, corner of Charlotte-
stree', Blackfriars-road, and fell with a tremendous
crash; several persons were passing, who, fortunately,,
escaped without injury. On the ground of the New
River Company, adjoining Sadlers• wells Theatre, an
enormous elm tree, which had stood for upwards of 60
years, was completely uprooted, and in falling forced
out a great portion of the w all enclosing the grounds.
At Rotherhithe numerous small boats were driven from
their moorings, some of which were not recovered until
completely stove in or seriously damaged. The whole
of the mail trains which travelled during the night were
so delayed in their progress, by the violence of the gale,
as to to unable to reach town within an hour of their
usual time.
