GREAT FRESHET. AND EXTEN-
SIVE LOSS OF PROPERTY
BREAKING ZIP OF THE ICE

Yesterday morning was signalized by an
almost unprecedented rise of,he water in the
river. and the breaking up of the ice
The warm rain during the day on Satur
day, had broken up the Mohawk, and
throwing its accumulated ice into the Hud-
son, that river swollen also by the fall of wa
sweeping every thing before it, and doing
great damage along the Pier, the Wharves,
the Basin, and indeed all The lower or bnsi-
ness part ofthe city
The loss and damage, SO far as known.
exclusive ofibe injury to merchandise, the
warehouses on the docks and pier. in Quay,
Dean, Market, and the streets crossing them,
must have been very estensive--the base
ment and FIRST and even second floors OF ma
ny buildings particularly on the Pier and
Quay street, and the cellars throughout the
lower part of the city, being deluged with
water, and so suddenly as TO prevent the re-
moval of but small part Of their contents.--
Much of the lumber on the doeks-and
there were immense quantities Of twas
swept down stream. with some Of the river
craft moored outside. Among the latter
were two sloops, one, if not both of them
known to have had par. Of their crew on
board.
Many frame buildings more particularly
exposed to the fury of the current and the
floating ice, were started from their founda
tons, and partly carried away.
But the greatest disaster. the particulars o
which have come to us, is the injury Of the
steamboat North America, well known as
one Of the largest, most commodious and ele
CANT Of our river boats. She was mooreC
Immediately below the pier and crushed by
the heavy masses of floating ice, filled and
was then swept down the river, with wha
fate is no. known. This boat, renewed anC
admirably fitted up during the last season

We learn also, that both the steam ferry
boats, at the lower ferry, were much injured
and that one, if not both went down stream
with the rest.
The water was scarcely ever higher il

THE GALE-THE HuRRIcANR.

On Thursday last, we experienced the
most severe cold weather Of the season, the
thermometer during the night falling below
zero. On Friday the weather began to mod
crate, and during the nightthis severe wea-
ther was followed by thaw, and early on
Saturday morning it began TO rain, the wind
blowing violently from the Southeast Be-
tween four and five o'clock, the wind was a
hurricane, Gripping up the ice in the North
River, and doing a great deal OF mischief in
the Harbor and City. After this, it lulled
and the weather became cold again, the All
on Sunday being very severe The wind
was strong from the Northwest.
The Piers toward the Battery are consid
erably damaged by the ice and the rush Of
