The arrivals, thig morning, of letters from the out-
ports, and Papers from various part! of the country,
bring interesting and voluminous accounts of the de-
structive.effects of the late terrific harricansf., We
have compiled the particulars of the dapage In • the
interior, and the towns where Papers are published,
under a separate bead ; in some places the direful
effect of the gales is described as equalling almost the
fury of a West Indio hurricane, but its iavages have
not been equally lamentable in all places from which
we have accounts. At sea, and along the coast, the
disasters have been great, and it appears by the let-
ters of to-day, that a good many lives have been lost,
and many total wrecks the consequence of the it.:on•
figured inclemency in the weather. The Brighton
accounts state the pleasing circumstance, that though

the hurricane has been so dreadfully mischievous on
the coast of Kent, it has not produced a single dims.
ter along the Sus"ex coast ; and from Portsmoutia we
learn, that, though the weather continued severe, the
ships rode it out well. The following are the com-
municatiations from Lloyd's:—

PENZANCE, MAUCH 6.—We had a heavy gale here
on Wednesday night the 4th inst. frorriS. to S. S. W.
The schooner Ann, Davis, of and for Plymouth,
with copper, &c. parted two hawsers in the after-
noon, and held on by a third till eight o'clock in the
evening, when she parted and drove nut of the Piers,
and went on shore on the beach, and became a com-
plete wreck ; when she plyted her last rope, the
Master and one man took to their boat, which was
upset, and both were drowned. The Swedish schooner
Maria, Wicksell, parted three cables, carried away
her channels, broke her false keel,' and received
other damage.
LIVERPOOL, MARCtt 7. The Mercury, Rae,
sailed from hence the 3d inst. has put back with
loss of maintop-mast, and ono man drowned. The
Minerva, Sketchley, sailed from hence the 12th ult.
put into Ullspool, Loch Broom, the 27th, with loss
of main and mizen-masts and other damage—the
Mate and two men washed overboard. The Neptune,
--, from New York to Dublin, has been boarded
by No. 5, Pilot-boat, having been driven out of
Dublin Bey With loss of all her anchors and cables.

TORBAY, MARCH 7.—Tbe violent storm! on Wed-
nesday did no injury in this Bay, as it did not con-
tinue at S. E. more than one hour ; had it continued
longer the ships in the Bay must have suffered.
RAINSGATE, MAUCH Steitte,-P.M!'
This morning we had another very heavy gale from
the S. W. to S. S. W. The following is an ac-
count of part of the damage done, but in the
midst of such confusion it is impossible to get all
the particulars : —The Jane and Betsey, both of
Sunderland, missed the pier, went on shore, and are
since gone to pieces. The following ships have all
received more or less damage, and all have lost an-
chors and cables : —The Hope, Trifenia, Ferdinand,
Boleno, Effort, Andromeda, Kate, Mary, Came.

and ran for the North Seas.
