TREMENDOUS GALE.
.4eefM destruction Of Lires and Property.
About half-past Il o'clock last eve
ming, gale commenced blowing from
the South West, which for violence
and devastating effect, we scarcely re-
collect parallel. Knowing the ankle
ty TO get the particulars Of the disaster,
we have issued this extra, with such
particulars as we have at first been able
to gain--we shall issue another extra
this afternoon with further particulars.
The Iron U. S. Steamer was driven
upon the beach high and dry, near the
old Stone House.
The Com. Perry came in about II
O'Clock last night in a most shatter-
ed condition--her wheelhouse being
smashed in--and the boat almost a
cripple-in coming in, she ran into
the Great Western knocking man
overheard in the collision, who was
supposed to be lost-then she ran her
bowsprit through the side ofthe Wayne
where she remained fastened.
The steamboat Chautauque lies a.
shore on her beam ends, near Black
Rock.
The steamboat Robert Fulton, which
left last evening, has not been heard
from.
The brig Europe came in about l
O'Clock last evening, when the storm
was at its height-with the loss of hel
fore top-mast, and her sails considera-
bly, injured. She ran her bowsprit
plump into the warehouse Of Joy s
Webster.
The steamboat Emerald had hel
smoke pipe blown off and demolished
Three Canal boats and scow boa
were driven out of the harbor into tht
river by the force of the current this
morning. The canal boats were dri
ven up on the beach and went to piece;
and all on board perished. The amour
t Of damage done to the steamboats, ant
vessels in harbor is very large, and The
injuries to the harbor and docks is also
great. Indeed we do not recollec
that Buffalo has ever been visited witt
gale, the consequences of which
have been so disastrous to life anC
property.
The new White lead Factory OF
Court street, is entirely demolished.
Senaca street, below Michigan, pre-
sents most singular appearance
Numerous canal boats, small houses
furniture, lumber, cord word, &c. lii
in one confused mass. A yawl boa
lies near Crookers's Tavern, in tn,
street.
Two girls, domestics, in the service
of Huff's Hotel, were drowned in thei
beds, probably, as they slept in The
basement Of the house which was com
pletely filled with water.
A woman residing near the foot o
Washington street was drowned in he
bed.
The dead bodies of FIVE children ant
one woman are now lying at the Watcl
house, ten bodies at the Court house
and five bodies at a house on the flats
The steeple of the Park Church i;
completely twisted round, and nov
stands in lettering position.
The new engine house of the Bufa.
10 and Attica Railroad Company wa
completely demolished. The track o
the Attica and Buffalo Railroad wa;
so much damaged that the cars did no
leave this morning. We believe the
Falls Railroad is also somewhat in
iured.
A new two story building, corner o
Washington and Exchange streets,
Just about to be enclosed, was com
pletely blown down, and remains z
heap Of ruins.
The new part ofthe Mansion House.
although in an exposed situation, sus-
tanned but little injury.
The brick store, corner of South Di-
vision and Main streets, was partly UNI
rooted, and great part of the third
story was blown down-no one injur-
ed.
A brick house on South Division
street, owned by James Dubois, anc
nearly finished, was partly blown down
AND very much injured.
