S tens co.—A letter, date d Jana 9, ten o'clock,
P. M. fay., " Since three o'cock this morning,
t'iis town and neighbourhood has experienced the
moll dreadful hurricane ever remembered by the
ohiell inhabitants. .Every where are teen houfes
unroofed,chimniesblown down,windows wrenched
from their &nation., many old cottkges totally
demolinted, trees torn ua by the roots, and, hay-
flacks fcattered about. In fad, this place wears
the appearance of a town dote!), befieged, and for
the whole of the day has nearly been as Rill and
dent as at midnight. Amon gthe moll confpicuous
bindings that have fuffered, is the Tontine Inn,
Ste leads of which were early in the day torn from
we roof, and lie difperfed in the adjoining firms.
Cussrsa.—Thurfday morning this city was vi-
fited by one of the molt tremendous hurricanes we
ever remember, which continued with unabated
violence throughout the day, and has done very
confiderable damage, fcarcely a boufe having ef-
caped its dreadful ravages. A number of windows
have been blown in, fome hnofes have been en-
tirely unroofed, and feveral chimnies blown down;
but we are glad to fay we have not heard of any
lives being loft, or limbs broken. A flack of hay
(aboutao tons) on the Tarvin road, was blown
over, and nearly all loft ; the vanes on the top of
St. John's and St. Bride's churches are bent like
bows, and rendered ufelefs ; and the flints are
Brewed with !laces, bricks, &c. which render them
very dangerous for • pallingers.• The wind was
Deldr welt; confequently the damage to the fhip-
ping an the river, on the coal of Wes, Hoylake,
an(the Channel,muft,we are afraid, be very great.
Lavaaeoen..—We were vifited here on Thurf-
day night by the molt dreadful hurricane that can
be remembered by the oldeft inhabitant. A horrid
night it was indeed, and the day-light opened a
scene (hocking to behold. Many houfes are quite
blown down and demolilhed • innumerable o

but the havoc made in the river Mercer furpaffes
