EMENDOUS GALE.
GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY AND
AWFUL DESTRUCTION OF LIFE.

A terrible gale on Lake Erie, begin
ming Friday night. has destroyed vast
amount of property and large number
Of lives. 1t extended also, as far as
Rochester, where it ragged with The vio-
lence of hurricane. AT Buhalo it
commenced about midnight and ragged
for upwards Of tour hours-The lower
part of Buffalo presents one scene of
wreck and desolallon. In the immedi
ate vicinity of the city, it is believed, at
east two hundred lives were lost; and
several days will be required 10 ascer-
ain any thing like the extent of the da
mage done. Several steamboats, werc
driven high and dry upon land; & from
>ne, three men and boy, deck passen-
sers, s,were washed erboard and drown
ID. A great deal of damage was also
sustained by the sailing craft in the har-
bour. A least fifty canal boa,S were
washed ashore, some half mile from
he canal. Many Of them were totally
destroyed. Or the wharvcs, and The
Lumber, salt, and other properly lying
~ them, the loss has been immense.
The who e of the lower floors of the
warehouses on the b,rbour have been
submerged, and the property therin
''ored OF course much njnrrd. In
several instances small dwellings filled
with inmates loaled across the fat@, their
'hrieks, vany imploring assistance,
mingling with the wild howl of the
empesl.-Nlany OF those unhappy
creatures perished before help could be
given.
