tails. There is scarcely n house ~ the
place, but what has suffered in some degree.
The streets are almost impossible from
the uunher Of trees, sc. which have

considerably injured in heirMindows, &c.

Capt. Bonne,s, house on Morris Island :;
and Mr. Stockcf's heuse at Pelican Bank

Sullisaas Island did not escape the ef-
focts otihc storm. We have gathered the
following melancholy aud affecting partcu-
lars from thai place The house of Lew
rs Morris, Esq. at the east end OF the island,
was blown down, and Mrs. Morris her cd-
est sou, a Mr.. -, the French tutor,
and one servant, were hHied alive in the
ruins. Mr. Ihomas Middleton, who was
IN the house during the storm, and is sup
posed to have left il for place of greater
safety, was found drowned in pond near
the place. MIR Boycc and family had
most pro,ideh,ial oseape--they had just
left the shed room in which they slept, Tor
place Of greater s4rty, when the whole
oft fell. Messrs. Fraser, Tunuo and Dcn-
nison's houses were al destrny,d.-as well
as many others. We have lot been able
Tor the want of time, to ascertain parIcu-
lars concerning them.
Then follows a list of nnmcs OF about %
vessels, more or less injured, several Of the
crews OF which were drowned "ThMe was
bur cue stroke Of lightning during the Storm
and that struck the L. S schr. 6rampis, and

- Hchope to hear nothing further on
1he subject OF the two following eommuui-
cations The public are no doubt satisfied
with the eXpositions OF the tcnets the re-
spectNe sccts; and il would be an idle
waste both OF time and words to pursue
the controversy. We shall never close our
columns Oh the discussion of subjects,
