oi the storm was tremendous: nothing cou | resist it. Fruit and other trees, in the yards and under shelter of the houses, were twisted, torn out of the ground, and carried away. Assistance could no where be ren- dered, as its greatest violence was during the night, accompanied by heavy gusts of rain, which inundated our streets and ad- joining plains. It was one of the mos. dismal scenes imaginable. The picture of distress which presented itself on the morn- Ing of the 18th inst, was appalling indeed. The river rose to fearful height, and worse consequences were anticipated, when for tunatey, the wind soon abated, and we were spared further anxiety. Only four lives were lost; and, comparatively speaking, but few goods were damaged; and we are hap py 10 state 10 you, that our warehouses es- capped without suffering in the least, nor any of the large quantity of goods stored in them.
 More dreaeful, however, was the destruc- tion of both lives and property both in the brazos de Santiago and in the Boca del Rio. In the former the sea rose six feet, and all the houses in the place, except onlg one, which 1t left in tottering condition, were either literally blown to pieces, or re- moved to great distance from their origin al location; the barracks customhouse stores among the rest. The schooner Apispa was driven distance from the Bay, and is now high and dry near the Sand-hills. The Sophia, after losing her masts, was driven ashore, and IS now high and dry on the site where formerly stood the custom house stores. Near to her Is the schooner Oceana. Cargoes of both vessels will be saved, although that of the Oceana, mostly insured in Hamburg, viii probably be dam- aged' The vessel will we are afraid never be got off again. Numbers of lives were lost; and the remainder of the population took refuge on the sand hills, btrying them- selves in the sand. Many lost their lives in endeavoring to reach them; and every soul would have perished if the storm had lasted two hours longer. In the Boca del Rio, the schooner Spatious was driven to sea without person on board the captain and crew swan ashore. The Tellfare, of New York, was driven on shore, but will be got off again. The Matamoros and Henry escaped without any serious injury. Many lives were also lost here, houses blown away, &c., &c. Nearly all the boats of the pilots, &c., were driven to sea or lost. At Bocachita and the Bunta, four men were drowned, and the large ferry boat swept away SC that VIC arc row without any means of getting goods to town from below: but arrangements are making to re- store every thing as soon as practicable. There remains no house standing either in the Bunita or the Bocachica.
 The damage thus caused is immense and many months will elapse before every thing will be restored 10 its former state. Still, the loss might have beeu much greater; and utter destruction would have followed the inundation of the Rio Grandei which al one time seemed to be certain. The loss of foreign property is, comparatively speak ing, inconsiderable.

 Within my memory ofpublic settlements -and l have been ten years an editor-I know of nothing to equal the fever of the present moment. It wants little, to fan the spark into flame. The English are phlegmatic until they reach certain point, and thcn they speak in voice of thunder. Nothing can exceed the popular rage against the Lords, for the destruction of the Corporation Bill. 1He funds haue fallen materially, and fuctuate to a lower extent than the closing quotations can give an idea of. Public meetings have been held throughout all parts of the Kingdoms and, at most of them, formal resolutions have been adopted to the effect that the people will not degrade themselves by pettioning the Peers. "Curses, not louS, but deep" are general throughout the Kingdom, on the aristocrats who have now committed political suicide.
 Without doubt, much as we English cling to title aud honors, .he day of doom has arrived for the aristocracy. The question is, "What use are the Lords p and cle- yer pamphlet, thus named, (attributed to Lord Brougham) has gone through eight or fen editions, and has added much to shew the utter inutility of the aristocracy-as body of irresponsible and hereditary law makers.
 The Morning Chronicle, how the organ of the Goverement, has preached republican doctrines, and the tone has been adopted by many of the London and country pa- pers. The people are also forming opin- ions fatally at variance with the further continuance of the power of the Lords. You will see, ere long, that an attempt will be made, in Parliament, either wholly to abolish the upper Chamber, or assimllate it's constitution to that of the Senate of the American Congress.
 The affray at YickAburg, where five persons were summarily hanged under "Lynch's Law" has caused great discus sion in the English papers. The friends of America condemn the act, but protest against an isolated incident being brought forward as an argument against the whole nation.

As his assortment now comprises nearly, if not quite, all the articles called for in the Dry Goods and Grocery lines, 1t will be impossible to enumerate them in the compass of an ordinary advertisement.

As the Liberator has very limited cir culation in the city, our readers may not be aware, and perhaps would like to read, what MT. Garrison has written on the subject of the great Conservative Meeting at Faneuil Hall, called to express the sentiments of the citizens on the subject of the immediate abolition movements of himself and coadiu- tors. Here it is, and more precious nor. sel we have not seen this long time-not even in the Liberatof:-B Boston Transcript.
 Meeting of Citizens. The deed of self degradation, of base servility, of heaven daring impiety, on the part of our citizens, is done, to the scorn of the world, and the disgust and horror of posterity! The old cradle has become the co6;n of liberty : Upon the walls of Faneuil Hall let "Icha- bod" be written in letters of bIood-let its decorations be the whip of the slave-driver, the yoke and letters of slavery auctions, the portraits of eminent slave traffickers. and all the paraphernalia of man-stealing depravity!

Important 10 Landlords. Judge Wii- Hams decided case iii Dedbau1, Hfassa- chusetts, of considerable importance to those who lease farms. It appears that a tenant had erected a fence, the cost of which was to be deducted out of the rent l; and also had made a quantity of manure, both of which were attached by creditor of the tenant, and removed. The Judge decided that the fence, if intended to be a permanent one, belonged to the land, and that the manure which is made on farm, in the ordinary way, belongs to the farm, 2ro

s4notlter Grand Ra1 Rood Projeci.-- We learn from the New Orleans Bee, that It IS in contemplation in that city to connect New Orleans with the Gulf of California on the Pacific by a rail road to run through Texas, via Nacogdoches and the gorge of the Rocky Mountains. Ii is computed, that by extending the contemplated rail toad from New Orleans to Natchez and thence to Richmond, there would be continuous rail road of 1600 miles from New Orleans 10 New York, which would be travelled in four days Should the rail road to Cali fornia be effected, steam ships would com fnunicate from the latter to China, Persia, or the East Indies, and thus not only cut up the East India Shipping of the Northern States, but render the projected route across the lsthmus of Panama, unnecessary. = Such short and direct route 10 the Pacific, would also neutralize the efforts of the British Government to open route through the Mediterranean, the Euphrates river, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. -.Noah.

In relation to Mir. Adams late letter, in favor of Dutee J. Pearce, the New York Star says:-
 "We are convinced, from this letter, that with all tie talents, the admitted talents, and integrity of MT. Adams. he is nevertheless under the control of some disappointed feel. ings-that he Is now in favor of MT. Van Buren's election to punish those who pre- vented his election as Senator in Congress. But the true inference of his present change it is but fair 10 surmise, may be found in his hostility towards the South, and his deter termination of throwing the Presidency, 'soac and foreuer, north of the Potomac, no matter on whom 1t falls. In this view of the subject MT. Adams goes with all his original friends; for, without reference to the candidates, the North generally have had their eye on Mr. Van Buren, as the most likely Of taeir men, to gull tho other sections of the repubhc.n

The riotous and other illegal proceedings which have occurred so frequently of late in the United States, are referred to by the Montreal Herald, in the following severe terms:
 GAS to the recent disturbances in the U. States, however deeply we may regret the general Reorganization when viewed by it. self, we candidIy confess that we will re- joice at it, if it tend to arrest the fatal march of democracy ir England. The awful ri- ots and the still more awful, though less de- structve, mockeries of justice, that have recently disgraced all quarters of the Union, must, when viewed in connexion with each other, be ascribed not to temporary or local causes, but to the permanent and universal maladies of republican constitution"

The British Commissioners appointed under the Act for the Abolition of Slavery, have made an intereolonial apportlonment of the twenty millions placed at their dis posal. From their published statement, it appears that the number of slaves in the British colonial possessions. amounts to 760,993, of the relative value of A5, ,2S1,- 73S l5s 10 14d. The owners of the slaves will therefore receive about fonr-ninths of their relative value. The proportion for the Island of Jamaica Is f6,l6l, ,927 5s 34d and the relative value of the slaves is l13, 951 ,l39 2s Sd.

From the Northampton Mass Courier.
 Enc improvements in paper making have extended Ih this country with rapidity hardly equaled by any other branch of man ufactures. We were impressed with this fact, the other day, when looking through the extensive paper-mills of Messrs. How ard & Lathrop, at South Hadley Canal. The system of making paper by hand, is now almost discarded. It was slow, awkward process, and required the labor of three men d day to make what is now ac- complished by machine in about one hour. The pulp, made of rags, is taken up by sheet of flannel wound tightly round cy- finder. It Is then passed on over and be- tween other successive cylinders, heated with steam, until 1t is thrown off at the other end, continuous sheet of paper, perfect in all it's parts, of the proper width, and dried, nearly ready for the printers use.
 The pulp which is taken up at one end of the machine, and delivered as paper at the other end, traverses distance of abou, ten feet from one extremity to the other, and the time occupied in the process hardly ex- ceeds three minutes! There are various other improvements of less magnitude, but of great importance, such as bleaching the rags, reducing them to pulps and in drying the paper. Formerly every sheet was sub jected to the awkward process of drying upon poles, whereas 1t IS now dried upon heated cylinders receiving at the same time most beautiful finish.
 Messrs. Howard & Lathrop have in ope- ration the Patent Cylindrical Machine, about which there has been so much litiga- ton between themselves and Mir. David Ames, of Springfield. This machine has enabled paper makers to reduce the price of paper nearly fifty per cent. and there has been common feeling among them the country over, to resist the exactions of Mr. Ames, who claims this important machine as has omn, when the fact has clearly enough been established that 1t is, on his part, surreptitious invention! Messrs. Howard & Lathrop have for years been harassed with expensive and tedious law suits by Mr. Ames, and they still resist his preposterous demands. The paper-makers have made common cause in this matter, and 1t is one ia which every printer has d direct pefsonal interest.
