a detail of a hurricane
I beg leave to hend you the particulars of a
hurricane with which this island was visited on the
6th inst., the appearance of the weather was very
threatening, and the falling of the Barometer left usto
expect to be visited by a hurricane, the event justified
our worst fears, and before sun set, the work of de.
vastation had began, and continued without inter-
missit n until after midnight, the destruction in these
in g :
places have been very considerable to houses, cattle,
crops,

have been lost, the
ships in number, have not
received much injury, but I regret to state, the un-
fortunate of the George Canning., of 426 tons, Capt.
James Clark, which had arrived the preceding day,
from Calcutta, with a cargo of rice, &c., and for want

of a bill of health, was riding a three days quarantine
at Bell Bay. At noon, she was observed seading
down top gallant masts, and appeared to ride well
at an anchor, until eight o'clock, p.m., at which time
the hurricane was .at its height, when the 'Captain
being desirous to avail himself of the wind, being ofC
shore to proceed to sea, ordered the chain-cable to
be slipped, and the fore-topmast stay-sail to be
hoisted. Unfortunately, at this moment, she was
caught in a squall, or sudden shift of wind, which
laid her head on shore, and before she could wear
or be brought under any command, she ran on shore
with great violence on the western entrance of the
Grand River, and shortly after broke in half; her
stern is now lying nearly two miles from the fore-
castle. All who were in the after part of the vessel
have lost their lives. The Captain, Chief Mater

men ; not a vestige of her cargo will be saved. The
accounts from the country differ as to the injury done
to the sugar canes ; but the whole of the provision
grounds are destroyed without exception.

WAKEFIELD, July 11.
We 'nave again a good arrival of Wheat up the rive;
but the supply from the farmers is small; having he
some quantity of rain during the week, an advance of 1p
per quarter was generally asked upon good fresh 'Wheat'
but the buyers would not comply, and sales have bet!
slowly made, chiefly at the rate of last Friday, althottgr
in some instances a trifling advance has been realized ;- mid"
dling and infer for descriptions are as dull as possible. (0
are unaltered in value, but the demand is trifling. Beal°,
are very flat, but not offered upon lower terms. Rape
is rather dearer.
