/BON MANCIIINTICII GVAIIDIANI
One of most terrific gales of wind with which this
town has been visited for many years was experienced on
Thursday night. It commenced about nightfall, from
the eouth-west, afterwards veeriag round to the west,
esti gradually iacreaaed in violence until about twelve
o'clock, when it blew a perfect hurricane, accompaaied
by heavy rain. Dy ten o'clock the tows was left le
most utter darkness, the greater part of the gas-di
being blown out, and these which escaped extin
were so violently agitated by the wind as to afford but
little light. Many families passed the greater past of
the night by the inside. not daring to retire to rest
until the gale bad abated.
So great was the alarm felt by the inhabitants of some
of the cottages near the New Dailey, during the storm,
that they applied to be admitted into the lock-rpe until
morning.
The destruction of property occasioned he this dread-
ful commotion of the elements. is, as might be expected.
very extensive; but we are happy to say, that in this
town, so far as we bare been able to learn, there has been
no loss of life, and very few personal injuries have been
sustained.
A great number of chimneys belonging to dwelling.
houses have been blown down is all parts of the town
sad neighbourhood; and in many instances the inmates
narrowly escaped with their lives.
A great aerober of buildings were wholly or partially
unroofed; in fact, scarcely any edifice exposed to the
wind escaped without some derangement of the roof;
and in many parts of the town, we observed the lead
fleshings on the houses rolled up by the wind. as if they
bad been sheets of paper. The new barracks in lie-
gent-road were partly unroofed, and a portion of the
wall war blown down. At the Dales, near Stand, the
residence of Nathaniel Phillips. Esq., the cooseqaences
of the gale were very disastrous. There was company
