GREAT STORM OF RAIN AND WIND.
PnILADEbPHTa, Sept. after a success
SION OF genial showers on Sunday evening and
yesterday morning,a storm of rain commenced
about o'clock p. NJ. yesterday, accompani-
cd with high wind, which increased almost
into a tornado during the afternoon. The
wind was generally from n. TO n. T.. during
its greatest fury, but varied occasionally to al
most every point ofthc compass. Great havoc
has been madc on the trees in every direction
we have heard from. Those in our public
squares have mostly heen stripped of their
limbs, and many in different parts of the
streets, have been laid PROSTATE. At the Ma

Poplars, which al once afforded shade and
were an ornament To the Parade Ground, ten

no injury.
The accounts from the surrounding coun-
Try, we fear, will be of most unpleasant ma

yielded 10 the force of the tempest; and the
rising buck wheat, I'm many directions in a We
ny forward state,) must have shared the same
tate. Fruit trees, also, must have been strip

The enclosure round the Aloe plant, at the

Some damage was done to the Culyert

The northeast chimney of Christ Church
was blown down, and in its fall shattered the
railing on the rooc-It is said that the steeple
shook considerably.
The torrent of rain during the whole after
noon was intense and unidentified and il is
computed, that the average body of water
that descended could not be less than 8 in.
