tague.
The brigantine Heroine was In the Carat.nage, where she
remained in comparative safety, havinA suffertd only in the
rigging. The schooner James was also In the Carcenage,
and sustained little damage, except the lute of masts.
The schooner Elizabeth sailed hence for Demeter& on
Wednesday afternoon. She fortunately weathered the storm,
and returned here, when she was employed by his Excellency
the Governor, to proceed to that colony, with despatches. in
the hope of falling in with a homeward bound vessel ; but
failing in that they would be intmcdiately forwarded to
England by his Excellency Sir atnjamin D'Urban, Gover-
nor-General of British Guiana.

The schooner Agnes, which arrived on Fr'day morning
from Trinidad has also been employed in the s2rvice of G b.
vernment. She sailed last night, but her destination is not
exactly known.
The merchants of this town, although sufErers themselves
to a considerable extent, have spurned the opportunity r.f
demanding an increase in the price of provisions. Care
should be taken to prevent any unfeeling huckster from pro.
fitting unfairly by this liberality.
His Excellency the Governor called a meeting of the lion.
Board of Council for to day. We have not been informed
of the result of their deliberations.

It will be seen that H. D.: Wald, Eiq. ha. generously
come forward for the assistance of the poor and destitute,
with a spontaneous offer of t..n barrels of flour ; and as the
vestry have made an appeal to the public, we trust there are
many others who will lose no time in contributing to the
relief of their wretched fellow beings.

with which this Woad and hs dependencies were visited
on Thursday morning, the 11th instant, it is essentially
necessary, foe their relief, to encourage the imports-
don of the only article of food which bears a duty ;
inamely, flour, and of such materials as an required
to repair the extensive damage which has been son-
tained in houses, buildings, and sugar works, over th:
greatest part of this colony ; I do therefore, by and wadi
the advice and consent of his Majesty's Privy Council, au.
thorise and require the Port of Kingstown to be opened ac.
cordingly for the admission of Sour, sad of white, yellow,
and pitch pine boards, plank and scantling and shingles, free
of all duties payable thereon, until the 31st day of Dectm.
bee now nest ensuing • of which all officers of his Majesty's
customs, and all other; whom it doth, shall, or may concern,
are hereby required to take due notice, and to govern them-
selves accordingly.

ABSTRACT. •
The V. Lucia (aiette. of August 17, gives further par-
t ir,ilars of the awful visitation

. - -
When the gale commenced there were many vessels in
.he barhnur of the !mall crafts several got into the old
C•ttnags. and rode out the grip in safety.
The shin Magnet dragged her anchor and dtifterl. hut
.A, ltelv her side came against a bank on the south side
,he Itorhour. and she was there secured without injury.
~stn M‘Ntinn was, at the commencement of the gale, at
•h. Marones Estate. and came across the island on foot,
• r111111,...141ff very great fatigue and dangers and arrived in
kt,ffeient to secure the safety nfhla yeast!, but not until
rit,er she had dragged her anchor and drifted.
brig Victory which lay near to the wharf. was in a
v. rl• erittcal and unmanageo le .itotoinn for !tune time: her
situation and that of the wharf belt...! for some hours
problematical ! However her crew succeeded in getting her
•,me way nut s.d in safe anchorage, where she rode out
the tale in rieretv. as did the hrig ntigue.
The sloop A talarti. belonging en Mr. Olandut. and
sthon,er Sir Edward Barnes, belonging to Captain Marc,
were driven nn shrive. hut have not, we understand. capes
ri en cl d morh in 'try : the sloop Juno, belonging to Mr.
1-11,,AT0, and Sir John Keene, belonging to Mr. Cuvallier,
n-.I some of the smaller craft, are lying on their sides on the
....ithern aide of the harbour, and it is hoped will be all got,
t! without any very serious damage.
The brig Coquette, Captain Hinds, which only arrived on,
Tuesday, was, however, the vessel moat exposed to danger, 1
as she lay nearly at the mouth of the harbour and under a
n•oet heavy sea ; however. early and precautionary MOISUM
on the part of the Captain fhlly proved the advantage of
ems] seamanship, and she rode triumphant and uninjured on
the waves.

In the town there were very few houses that did isot suffer
trove or less.S The premises occupied by the Chief Secretary
arrest to have suffered the most ; the back dwelling-house
it New-street was almost entitely uncovered.
The town of V e+•Fort has also similarly suffered ; we
fire told that almost the entire of the town was blown down ;
hsrk Sandwich, Captain King, which lay there, pre.
••rvvd her safety by cutting away her masts, and the ship
rubs, belonging to Messrs. Ferguson and Co. was forced
to sea. _ .

At Denery the sloop Duncan Ferguson, belonging to
Mr. Philip Pugole, was totally wrecked and one man lost.
There are also four other vessels belonging to the island,
ith their crews missing.
On Thursday evening the sehoonet Warrior, from Gre-
nada for Barbadoes arrived here under jury-masts ; she
reached within twenty-five miles of Barbadoes when she
was obliged to change her course, and after weathering the
trim. with loss' of masts, and other damage, succeeded in
makinc this nort.
We would feel inclined to think that Barbadoes has
suffered still more ly than this island, and that to
these two islands will be confined the destructive ravages of
the tempest.
We have communicated with different persons as to the
comparative violence of the hurricane of 1817, and that
whirh we have now experienced, and from the most accu-
rate information we can obtain, we are disposed to think
that the strength of the wind on that occasion was not by
any means inferior to that of 1817, but that in Castries the
fiirmer was more appallirg. in consequence of the effect ofl
the sea, and the wind blowing from the west, which caused
the letwa d of the island to suffer considerably more than
the eastern line of coast, while now the windward has suf.
ferrd most : there cannot, however, be a doubt, but that the
injury sustained throughout the island will exceed that of the
greet hurricane of 1817.
Our accounts from the interior of the island are very dis-
tressing—the plantations have all suffered considerably.
Throughout the island the negro huts have been almost en-
tirely destroyed, end on many estates the works are injured ;
several fine cane-pieces ore swept away, and the coffee crop
s ill not exceed one-third of what it was calculated to
produce.
The deplorable situation of the town on Thursday last
prevented any attendance at our office, and on Friday morn.
ing we found it in much disorder ; our present publication
has consequently been in some degree retarded.
The hull of a vessel, supposed to be an American brig,
was thrown irto onelof the bays on the windward of the
island ; the body of a white dead roan,: in a sailor's garb,
Was in the cabin.

HURRICANE AT BARBADOR&

By the Briseis packet, which arrived at Falmouth on
Thursday, from the I eeward Islands, letters have been
received from the island of St. Vincent, which give a dread-
ful account of the ravages of the tremendous hurricane of
the 11th of Autrust, which laid Barbados' in ruins, and
er.troyed some thousands of lives. Its ravages at St. Vin-
cent's, hitherto a happy island, have for many years escaped
the desolating tornadoes of that region, are described as being
altrost irreparable. Twenty-six vessels were driven ashore,
the houses were every where blown down, the plantations to-
tally destrosed, many lives were lost, and the greatest appre.
bensions of famine was entertained, the provisions having been
swept. away ; in short, the island was a scene of misery
and distress not to be described. One of the letters, after
painting the scene at St. Vincent's, says, " If we have suf.
feted thus much, what must be the condition of the people
of Parbadoes, where upwards of 5,000 persons have lost
their ? the dead lying in the street& without the means
of lull ial ? their churches and houses levelled to the ground ;
tie whole of the country swept. as it were, with a rapid and
overwhelming ride of water ; every fear of a pestilence from
the dreadful effluvia of the dead bodies, which lie on the
beach and in the streets, the slates refusing (perhaps from
apathy or fear —I hew and trust from no other motive, but
will show.) to assist in burying them. Itegges,;ktes
that martial law has been already proclaimed In oes,
in consequence of the conduct of the slaves. The damage
den. to Barhadoes is estimated at half a million. The fol-
ios/mg vessels were driven on shore at St. Vincent's :—The
