Sudden sq,mN-One of the most severe and
sudden squalls came across the lower part OF THIS
CITY, few minutes after o'clock. on Saturday
afternoon. that we ever witnessed. There were no
indications Of a stornl-the sun was vet pouring
down his beams with melting intensity-and there

Albany Basin, two small sail boats, containing
each two PERSONS were capsized, but no lives lost.

packets. lying in Coffee House Slip, broke loose,
and drifted out together Several broken bow
spirits and some other minor damages were the
