Mail Gas it left that City on Sunday;) but BY
friend who has come through IS lately and speedily
as may be from Erie, Pa, sweeping the whole
Southeastern shore of the Lake by stage on Satur-
dsy and Sunday last we have full account of the
nature of the Storm, and It's raveges as far West
as Cleveland, Ohio.
1t commenced in rain on Wednesday night or
Thursday of last week. and seon began TO blow
severely and grow colder, until the rain turned to
snow, which melted while and then covered the
ground. All through Friday and Saturday it
showed furiously with a strong West wind, veer-
ing from Southwest to Northwest as the storm
continued. The saow covered the ground TO q
very considerable Depth and lay in drifts three feet
deep in many places. Even this side of Buffalo,
so late as Monday morning, it was necessary to
stop the Railroad cars repeatedly and shovel snow
off the track. The stage road around the East end
of Lake Erie was rendered even more than usually
detestable.
The effect of such furious and protracted gale
On the shipping Of Lake so sheterless and turbu-
lent as Lake Erie will readily be imagined. Pro-
badly more property has been destroyed in this one
storm than would have sufced to construct all the
hartors necessary for the protection of its Com
merce Yet from Sandusky to Buffalo there is
scarcely any thing deserving the name of a harbor
to which vessel can confde ntly repair to escape
the fury of tempest. Shall no, this be remedied?
But to the facts of our informant: He re-
manned at Erie through Friday night, and saw and
heard enough to satisfy him that there would be
no navigation on the Lake for some days-no get
ting upon it, in fact; for every vessel that found
anchorage was careful to stick it, and its pas
sengers were glad to have escaped with their lives.
At o'clock on Friday the noble steamboat CHI
cAeo drifted by in distress, dragging one anchor,
having lost the other her smoke-pipes blown down.
and she incapable of raising steam. Her gallant
captain (White) and crew had small sail yet
standing, with which they tried hard to weather
Pressure Isle and make the harbor Of Erie but
though they were within short distance OF the
pier, they could not effect it. They drifted away
and i. was feared that the boat could not weather
Sturgeon Psint below, and must be wrecked but
she KEEP, awey, and was finally blown ashore so
miles below, between Silver and Cattaraugus
Creeks. Her crew had then become so chilled
and supplied as to be incapable of exertion, and
could hardly be aroused to know they were safe.
There were about 40 persons on board, all of whom
came ashore alive. The boat is high and dry on
land. Her cargo on board is safe, but it was un-
ders,ood that part, consisting of potash kettles
and other heavy ware, was thrown overheard du.
ring the storm.
Our informant heard of Eve vessels ashore near
the mouth of Grand River, Ohio; ten on Canada
shore, and many between Dunkirk and Buffalo, but
no other steamboat, and no lives lost, but those
we have already recorded. The beach for some
miles on the East end of the Lake was strewn with
barrels of -four, &c. &c. washed from vessels or
thrown overheard to tighten those in distress The
amount of loss must be very great. He saw YES

The steamboats, Chautauque and Harrison came
into Buffalo about o'clock, P. M, having taken
shelter under the Canada shore during the worst
of the gale. They had sustained some damage.
They reported ten wrecks on the Canada shore, so
far as they had heard.
The sailors state that the sky was so black ana
hazy with snow during good part of the storm
that they could nothing and never knew that they
were even approaching land till they struck. Some
persons who had embarked for the West on be-
ing landed safely from the vessels, declared that
they had got enough, and turned their faces East

We shall doubtless have more definite and far
