ldNSTH, III tue StGcct.
1t is probably safe to say that upwards
of two hundred small buildings in the lower
part of the city have been entirely des-
1 irovcd or rendered untenentable. Elk st !,
which had been much imp roved during the
! past season, by the erection of new build
! ings most of them wood, now presents a
melancholy aspect house on
The street IS tenantable-none have escaped
damage. There is scarcely house re-
naming in its original position on the other
side oil the Creek The number of new
buildings which were slightly damaged is
| large chimnevs were blown down in eve
ry quarter OF the city.
The S. B, S. Louis ran down to Black
Rock safe, with her shaft broken. She broke
her shaft 10 miles above Dunkirk close on a
lea shore, lost three men and boy overheard
who would not keep away from the gang
ways, in obedience 10 the orders ofthe Cap
tain. Names not known. BY the superior
management of the Captain and crew she
was brought safely into Black Rock harbor,
under her lib. Mr. WELLS, of w ellis & Co.'S
Express, was on board, and we are indebted
to him for the above particulars. The pass
ongers speak in the highest terms of the
conduct of the officers and crew belonging
to tine boat.
The Fulton, as has been stated, was driv-
en- ashore about 20 miles up the lake, and
will be lost-crew and passengers saved,
with the exception OF three, whose names
are unknown. The engine and cargo will
probably be saved in damaged state.
The Indian Queen came in about half
past IL, ia safety. Goods on board censld-
erably injured.
The Julia Palmer made her appearance
at the mouth of the Creek about u O'Clock
on Saturday morning, but such was the vlo-
lcnce of the gale, that she was unable to
make the harbor she then put about and
finding it impossible to effect an enterance,
stood up The lake into the bay, where she
anchored. Much anxiety was felt during
the whole of the Gay for her, at one time it
was thought impossible she could ride out
the gals with safety-and many absurd ru-
mos were atioat in regard TO her-the boat
stood manfully-and at sunset all fears were
at an end. She came in on Sunday morn
ing about 8 O'Clock, with all hands safe
There were about 400 passengers Oh board,
all of whom join in rendering the highest
praise 10 Capt. TlTUs and his crew, for their
GOODNESS and courage through the whole
trying time.
The Com Perry came in about ID o'clock
Friday night in most shattered condition,
her wheelhouse being smashed in-and the
boat almost a crippls-in coming in, she
ran into the Great estern-afier which
she ran her bowsprt through the side of the
Wayne-where she remained fastened.
The steamboat Chautauque lies ashore on
her beam ends, near Black Rock
Th: brig Europe came in about one O'Clock
Friday evening, when the storm was at its
height, with the loss of here fore top.mast,
and her sails considerably injured. She ran
her bowsprit plump into the warehouse of
JOY &Webster.
The Steamboat Emerald had her smoke
pipe blown off and demolished.
The Iron u. S. Steamer was driven upon
the beach high and dry near the old Stone
House.
The brig Ashland, with cargo Of wheat
from Chicago, was beached, just below the
no tn pier.
AMOUNT OF DAMAGE.-Nar lous estimates
have heen made of the amount of damage,
it is a matter rather difficult TO come at, with
any kind OF accuracy. We should suppose
the amount ofmerchandise, alone, destroyed
al this point would amount TO nearly 500,
0 o. when the loss of buildings, household
furniture and steamboats, and vessels is add
ed it must swell the sum total to an i'm
mense amount.
We learn that the pier and warehouse at
Silver Creek have been carried away.
