THE GREAT STORM IN ORISSA.
From Correspondent at PoOlee.
On Thursday the 30th of April, one of the most
violent storms ever remembered in Orissa, visi-
ted the strtion at Perez and surrounding district
The wind blew from the north east early in the
morning. The surf was unusually high and roar
ing Out offices were levelled, and clouds OF
sand buried every thing; but the disasters of the
day were as nothing in comparison with what
the night brought The wind suddenly shifted
round to west and south west, and commenced
in all its fury. Every one sat waiting for the
worst running from one room to another, as the
house gave way, and when the genersl rush came,
it was fearful, the wind and rain so boisterous
that no one could stand erect exposed to them.
The darkness OF the night totally prevented any
communication from one house to another, and
it was not until morning that the whole truth
could be known, Alas every bungalow IN the
station has been destroyed-not one is there that
i can possibly be inhabited. One solitary pucka-
house stood the bufetng OF the storm, as 1t would
appear, intended as a refuge for the destitute.
The city has suffered to great extent, ln-
deed; every house has been blown down, but the
immortal remains of Juggurnaut lie undlsturoed
in his celebrated temple. The surrounding W.
| lagos have been equal sufferers, and camp be-
longing to the revenue surveyor, about twenty
miles distant, was totally destroyed. Large
trees strew the road, and many lives have been
lost in consequence One family of eight per-
sons were crushed to DEATH Bombay Courier.
One of our correspondents says :-"Bumes
writes that he had received numerous letters from
Bokhare, Khiva, and other places, and that his
correspondents all agree on the subject of the
strength of the Russians The gallant knight
places the utmost confidence in these statements,
and concludes letter | have seen, in these
words is it to be believed that large force
has merely come to Khiva to liberate some
slaves, and defend themselves against the attacks
of few bands of undisciplined Toorkmans" Pr

'FThe cholera is very prevalent in this city and
its neighbourhood In the schools at Byculla
yesterday, four children died from the attacks,
and two others were not expected to survive the
night"
April 15.-Since the date of our last reports,
we have two days later news from China. Her
| Maiesty's ship Druid, Al guns, had arrived at
Macao, from Sydney, much to the satisfaction of
all our countrymen; no alteration in prices We
had a sale yesterday of hyson tea which brought
SIS per picul; tHankay brought S62; cassia sold
catty box. Exchange on England 4S to IS; navy
bills in plenty at AZ. Her Majesty's ship We'll
lesley and brig Cruizer here. The Harle-
quin from youl' port, bringing only 35 chests of
opium, that article has risen little in price, and
S295 cash has been given for Benares, and $40
for Patna. Exchange on Calcutta 221 per
100 DIR.
We last addressed you ON the Both ult., since
which accounts have been received from China
to the 25th. Several of the American merchants
had issued circulars declining to receive any far
Their consignments or orders, and expressed their
intention to remove their establishments to Ma
Gao This step is attributed to the advices taken
by the Red Rover of an armed force coming on,
and the fear that the Chinese Government will
sink vessels below the second bar, and thus pre-
vent their ships reaching or leaving Whampoa

stWhen left Paris, there was Mr. Newell
a director of the Schuylkill Bank, there, who
had Just arrived from America, and had already
secured Lewis, the cashier, and would shortly
sail with him for home"
