The thunder storm which passed over This city
on Saturday afternoon between and O'Clock,
was accompanied by n copious shower Of rain,
and also by violent gust of tornado, which oc-
casioned the loss of several lives, besides doing
injury in various places The principal dam

lower end of Thomas street. AT this wharf was
lying the Bremen ship Sophie, Just arrived with
large number of German emigrantS. a mum
Der OF these were making active preparations
for their departure for the west, q when The rain
came on, about forty or fifty took shelter in an
adjacent large unfinished warehouse. The
house not being yet under roof tie violence of
the rain caused all bat nine persons to seek re-
iuge in the adjoining houses. They had source

with furious violence, and in II moment prostru
ted the building TO the ground, buryng eight per-
sons under the ruins. OF the latter number five

though not without being considerably injured.
Two others, man and young woman about
10 years ofage, was soon after dug out, dread
fully bruised and quite dead. A colOred man, II
carter, was standing in the building, but seeing
his horse grow FESTIVE mt the sound Of the thun-
der, he ran towards him, but was caught 10y the
falling wall and had boh his legs badly broken,
and his face and head severely cut.
The ninth person in the house was MI Joseph
Holt, hrickHyer who had heen engaged on
the building. lie was in the 81 story, and when
the house fell he was thrown headforenost into
Il large heap Of mortar. Although to this cir
cumstnnce may be attributed the preservation of
his life regret TO say it is feared his eyesight
is rretrievably ruined by the lime.
The warehouse was owned by Messrs Don

.aon in relation TO the late duel have finally made their
report and astonished the whole Hosse. This commit
tee has held its meetings in and been engaged in
the investigation for several weeks with closed doors
Not a whisper has been permitted to escape respecting
their decision of what has ranspired before them

sworn to secrecy and even after the report had been

was known of what would be the result Late yes,er-

commencing the expulsion of Mr. Graves for breach of
privilege and the censure of the seconds in the duel
The effect was electrical and after ordering the report
co be printed the House adjourned. counter report
was also submitted by the minority Of the committee,
which was likewise, ordered TO be printed.
This is perhaps the grossest outrage which has been
cosrmitted for many years. on the rights OF member
Ose of the rules of the House requires that when the
character Of a member will be impeached, or charges
brought sgaas before any committee he shall have the
privilege OF rebutng those charges and examining
the Witnesses But this the committee, in direct
violation Of the rule has gone into the investigation and
made its report without giving the persons implicated
and who be expelled and censured the chance OF
defending themselves Wise quite fsriousand Graves
laughs at this inpe,em attempt to destroy him.
People here think it is very strange that the COM
mtee should make report censuring the members of
their own body, and requiring the expulsion of

guilty as the survivor and whom they ordered fune
