DURUM, JANUARY I.—On Saturday last this city
wal visited with most tempestuous weather. The
storm is 'supposed to have been greater than any re-
membered since the 19th of October. 1775. The
whole of the morning it blew with great violence
fiom the South and South West; about twelve it
increased to a hurricane. At about two .'clock,
M. the scene which presented itself .was terrific.
The strongest men found themselves linable to cross
the streets. Many persons, women especially. were
blown down, some with difficulty escaped Wing blown
into the river—others were dashed against carts, or
driven before the wind against the houses at theupposite
aide. Hats, umbrellas, handlearchiefs. flew about in
every direction ; carts, with their loading, were ovet
turned, and chimneys fell in all sides. The shopkeep-
ers were busy in putting up their shutters ; several
were compelled to desist by the violence of the tem-
pest, leaving their windows defenceless. The Mena-
gerie. in Lower Abbey-street, was stripped of its
Covering; and some of its caravans blown down.
.--Crowds of people were seen clustering about the
corners of the streets where any shelter was afforded
them, waiting fur a favourable opportunity to make
a hazardous attempt at crossing. Sometimes two or
three joined to succour and support one another.—
s4lkets and other loading .were wrenched out of the
peop!e's hands, And blown away like pieces of paper.
Heavy rain accompanied the storm. Several houses
were much injured. The parapet and a considerable
part of the upper storey of a house ir. Andrew-street
'were blown down, and the fragments covered the
entire street. In Stephen's Green, the front of a
budding was completely levelled. Ip other parts of
the town similar effects were produced. About seven
o'clock the storm abated. Trees have been torn up
by the roots in the College and Phcenit Parks.—
Fortunately we have beard of no very serious acci-
dent. On the north side of Fitawillians,square, all
the windows we shattered. On one of the quays
a load of hay was carried off the car, and the wind
