THE WEATHER.

THE WEATHER.
We do not recollect ever to have witness
ed at this season of the year, heavier fall
of rain than we have had in this place
within the last eight and forty hours. With
very little in,ermission i, poured perfect
torrent. from Thursday afternoon, about
four O'Clock, until nearly the same hour
yesterday, blowing heavy gale OF wind
the greater part of the time from North
east to west, shifting frequently. The
sudden change of wind from the former to
the latter point, on the first Of the food tide,
checked the water passing up James XII
yer, and caused il to raise so high in this
harbor that all the wharves were overflow
ed, ami most of the warehouses contiguous
had their lower floors covered from one
and half to two and half feet. The da-
images sustained from this source is little
short of, if it does not exceed, 2 thousand
dollars. Messrs. J. and W. Southgate, J.
r. Harwood. w. Ashley and S. & P.
Christian are the principal sufferers-The
three first by injury done to perishable ar
ticIes in the lower story-ana the last by
the tide sweeping off a quantity Of shingles
from the end of Moran's wharf. Spars,
plank, heavy timber, and wharf logs were
seen floating about IN the harbor, and de-
posted in places on the wharf where they
had been lett at the recess of the tide.
Several vessels were driven on shore in
different parts of the harbor, but, we be-
lieve, sustained no damage.
The wind blew with intense violence
until about o'clock yesterday evening
and when our paper was put to press the
weather had not assumed any thing of set
Ted appearance.
We anticipate shocking accounts from
such vessels on the coast as were unable to
make har5or before the gale set in. Our
harhor is full of vessels that had put in in
expectation OF bad weather. [Herald,s
A pilot boat which came up yesterday
evening, reports that they PIT pilot on
board brig Boxer OF Liverpool, bound to
Baltimore, on Tuesday--On Thursday
morning, early, Cape Henry about 80 miles
distant, put one on board ship Boston, FIN
lay, from Liverpool, bound to Alexandria,
full of passengers-did not learn how long
out The Boston was almost a wreck,
having carried away her main and fore
masts close to the deck, and her mizen
mast Just above the top-was not injured
in the hull. The pilot enquired- OF captain
F. but did not ascertain when she sustained
the damage-but suppo,es in the gale OF
Sunday night. He saw her again about II
o'clock The same day, close in with the
land, and supposes she anchored that night
on the Horse Shoe. On the same day put
a pilot on board ship from the northward,
name not remembered.--Saw on Thurs
day evening large ship. supposed the In
diaman Sedney, come in the Capes and
proceed up the Bay.
