have been quite severe on our coast, as that
of the 10th ult. The old Charleston Bridge was
much damaged by ship that was driven COM
4pletely through it. A large number of disasters
ire recorded, from which we select the following
embracing the most important.
From the Portland Advertiser.
The SroRM.-One of the most violent
northeast storms of the season commenced
here last night, and continued, at the time
our paper went to press, to rage with IN
abated fury. A large body of snow has
fallen, and, mingled as it is with rain, 1t
will, in all probability, make good sleigh
ing. From the very high winds when
have prevailed during the past twelve hours,
we are apprehensive that serious disasters
have befallen vessels on our coast.
The Eastern Stage was unable. this
morning, to pass over Tukey's Bridge
the sea making breach over 1t.
Since the above was put in type, we
learn that the Napoleon Of Portland =.
the Edward of Frankfort are in contact AT
Union wharf The bowsprit of the Ed
ward has been already carried away, and
the vessel otherwise injured. The Ma
poleon also has been considerably damaged.
The Barge House been carried away, and
both barges have been stove and sunk. -
The Edward Preble of Easport has drag
yed her anchors, and been brought up with
IN ten feet of Union wharf
We have lust learned that the sch. Frank
lin of Machias Port--considerab damaged
in her stern,-s in contact with the two
vessels first mentioned above-the Napo-
leon and the Edward.
The big Hogan, from Boston, is high
and dry on the fats, outside the breakwa-
ter. Damage unknown. The new ship
Astracan has dragged her anchor short
distance, but will probably ride out in safe
". The Sch. Governor Robbins, from
Calais, drifted into store on Commercial
Wharf, and injured her stern some.
Brig Eastern Star, upset her windlass
and drifted across the dock, with the brig
Watson, no damage of consequence to
either.
The briggs Harriet, Woodbury., and Sub
lime, Vinng dragged their anchors and
brought up against Long Wharf.-The for
mer having carried away her jib BOOM
The sch Challenge, of Calais, dragged her
anchors and is alongside of the Harriet.
at the end of Long wharf-no damage.
. The Revenue Cutter Morris drifted from
her moorage but now lies safely between
Long and Central Wharf
, From Appearances some considerable
damage has been done to our shipping not
here mentioned. By our shipping list 1t
will be seen that there were several arrivals
iast night before the gale came on. A
,nong them is the Evelina, from Boston,
with very valuable cargo OF Groceries
and Dry Goods.
The above are all the particulars we are
, able to gather this morning.
p. s.. The brig reported ashore out
side the breakwater, is said to be light
brig from Boston, and not the Hogan, as
reported above. The IL. has not arrived.
From the Boston Gazette, and other papers.

ing started butt, commenced pumping
and baiIing, and continued to do SO through
the dav, the leak still increasing. At 3
I'M, the Natchez hove in sight, when the
Sally Ann holsed signal of distress, and
about 6 PM. abandoned her. The Sally
AIMS boat had been stove in thu gale, and
the crew OF the Natchez refusing to go in
in her boat to take them off, the two mates
of the N. at the hazard of their lives, nobly
made the attempt, and succeeded. The
wind had iuIled at the time, but there was
a tremendous sea running. The crew ol
the S. A. saved nothing but what they had
on. She was an old vessel, and not OF
much value.
Brig Wave, Merryman, Of and from Bath
for Matanzas, with lumber, went ashore at
Duck harbor, Welfeet in the gale of the
