large tree afloat in the air above the bank, and hastened I
to his house as soon as safety would admit. He had a
large new cart, vary. strong, carried into the air, the
axle-tree twisted in two, and the wheels dashed to,
pieces on the ground. He had a number of cattle in.
separate pastures, which wete whirled into one heap,
and all killed. Mr. Clements was in the woods, as he
saw the storm approaching with matchless violence, he
sprang to a buck eye tree, or sapling, the top of which,
at the same moment, was twisted off and carried away.
To this he clung olose to the pound, and left his body
rn an hotizontal position with the earth, during the
continuance of the wind, which was not more than two
or three minutes. As soon as the storm passed by, he
found himself edged in on every side; but hastened to
his house (a new brick house) with all possible speed,
which he found in a heap of ruins. In a fine grove of
most valuable timber, of nearly forty acres, every tree
n as destroyed.
I told you in my last, that we had three messengers
from the place of desolation in quick succession. Be-
fore midnight, they were followed by two others. The
sun had scarcely arisen, before our town was in mo-
tion. A load of provision was collected instantly, and
three or four hundred people, with axes, from every di-
rection, on their march. By Saturday noon, most of
the cabins were rebuilt, or repairesi, and the out fences
in such repair as to secure the field in general. Water
in the creek for several miles was carried away, to-
gether with stones, and old logs, a long time embedded.
leaving the bed of the creek entirely dry: The sv.4er
and mud in the roads were carried away in the same
manner. Many of the cattle, which were not killed,
were so covered with mud, by being rolled over and
over, as scarcely to be known by their owners.

The Honourable Mr. FETTON, of the S. Francis

Province, is now in Quebec, for the purpose of pro-
moting the formation of the intended Lower Canada

As a great part of the revenue of the Haytian Go-
vernment, which it is said is to pay the exorbitant sum
of six millions for its recognition by France, is derived
from commerce, it is not uninteresting to know what
are the import duties payable at the Custom-honce of
the Black Republic. An American Paper gives the
following as the principal provisions of the new Tariff
of Hayti, viz. the equalization of duties on goods im-
ported in foreign vessels—the admission of goods in
entrepot for six months, subject to only one-half the
fixed rate of duties; and the imposition of a fixed duty
of two dollars fifty cents. per barrel on flour, and one
dollar fifty cents. per 100ib. on rice. The import duties
on the products of all countries, without distinction, are
fixed at twelve per cent. on the official valuation. The
law will be in force on vessels from the Continent of
America in two, and in vessels from Europe in four
months, after the promulgation, which took place on
the 13th of May.

A few days since, at a match of cricket in Lord

nose, which continued to bleed, with very little inter-
mission, until Friday, when he died from the excessive
loss of blood.

LIVERPOOIo AUGUST S.—Among the various vicissi-
tudes of human life which we have had to record, the
sudden death of WILLIAM WALTER FELL, Esq. who
but a few days ago was elccl.ed to the lucrative situa-
tion of stipendiary magistrate at Manchester, is one of
the most afflictive. Mr. FELL bad availed himself of
the interim between his election and assuming the
duties of his office to arrange some business, for which
the sessions At Kit kdale, near Liverpool, afforded an
eligible opportunity ; and, on his return from thence,
on Monday afternoon, to Liverpool, he stopped at the
Crown Inn, Redcross-street. Having there taken his
place to go by the New Times coach to Preston, on
the next morning at five, he dressed and went out to meet
some friends. He returned to the Inn between I I and
IL, apparently in excellent health and spirits, and, after
giving directions to be called soon after four in the
morning, to be ready for the coach, he retired to his
bed-room. At four .'clock the porter knocked at the
room door, and, receiving no answer, again knocked in
a louder manner. The knocking, however, not being
attended to, he opened the door, and found the unfor-
tunate Gentleman lying, undressed, upon his back,
upon the floor, and insensible. The porter called his
master, and immediately procured a surgeon, who
found that the vital spark had fled. A special Inquest
was convened yesterday, before the Coroner, WILLIAM
MOLINEUX, Esq. attended by Mr. STATHAM; and upon
the evidence of the medical Gentlemen, the verdict of
the Jury was, that he died in a fit of apoplexy. Mr.'
FaLL was in the prime of life (we believe about 46),
had attained considerable eminence in his profession as
a barrister, and was deservedly much esteemed by the
Gentlemen of the profession and a large circle of
friends. The poignant grief of his amiable wife and
family will be more easily imagined than it can be de-
scribed, from the dreadful disappointment they would
suffer, as they expected him at Preston on Tuesday, for
the first time after his new appointment.
