TREMENDOUS GALE AT BUF
FALO-GREATLOSS OF PROP
ERTY AND AWFUL DESTR NC.
TTON OF LIFE.


Last night we experienced gale
more violent aud destructive than ever
before known. The weather yesterday
was cold and uncomfortable, with occa-
sional drizZling showers otraln. About
eirht or nine o'clock in the evening it
rained quite smartly. Between nine
and ten the wind veered to the South
and warm heavy rain fell. At eleven
the wind suddenly shifted to the North,
and for about half an hour blew with
great force, accompanied with rain. 1t
then again with more suddenness chang
ed 10 the South west. About midnight
the gale commenced and ragged like a
hurricane up to nearly four O'Clock this
morning when its fury somewhat abated,
but heavy gale has continued to blow
up to the hour ofgoing to press.
The damage to property Is immense,
and the destruction OF life is awful. We
have endeavored to ascertain the partlc'
ulars as infinitely as possible, but 50 wide
spread is the devastation that several
days will probably elapse before the
whole extent olthe damage can be prop
erly estimated The particulars, so far
as we have been able to obtain them,wlIl
be found below, arranged under aPpro~
pirate heads.

little u. S steamer Alert is beached at
the foot Of Mechanic st. The St Louis
which left port yesterday evening Tor the
West rode out the gale on the lake last
night, and passed down the river to Black
Rock this morning under a jlb sail, no
steam up.
Since the above was in type we have
seen Mr. Henry Wells who was on board
the St Louis. He says the boat got up
within three miles Of Dunkrk when she
broke shaft, and was forced to put
back, and by the use of one wheel and
the aid of the jib was able to make port
The upper cabin and light frame work
were considerably injured. Three men
and a boy, deck passengers were washed

Reports have been industrlously circu.
lated in some Wing papers, going TO show
that Mr. Birney had compromised with
the Democrats of Saginaw (Nich.) by en-.
gagng that should he be elected Repre-
sentative from that County, he would cars
nv out the measures of that party, and
would stand mute on he question of hu-
man rights! This would on the face Of
it, show tina, the report is either false, or
that Mr. Birney's mental vision is more
obluse than thai Of a common school boy
six wears old. And his most bitter enc.
mics, who have ever hal a glance a. him,
know he is far from being below par in
point Of intellect. When the report OF his
nomination first reached here, was OF
the opinion that it would not be wise in
him under the circumstances to stand, and
although plausible reasons were given, |
still think it injudcious IN him, knowing

he had served in that capacity for several
years, regardless of party dlctation, he
was more highly honored, than when
President. 1t may be that Mr. Birney,
should he he elected Representative, will
gain honor to himself by the course he
will pursue. AS to his views o! the Dis
ttibution and Tariff questions no one will
deny that they are similar to those OF ma
