THE GALE AND TIE BoATs.-The weather yes
terday and today will be remembered as the most
severe for the season, on record-and the conse.
quent arrangement Of the mails and the inconveni-
cnce experienced by people in travelling, will not
soon be forgotten. Yesterday dawned upon US, &C
companied by a regular 90 No easter, with ram and
sleet. which continued till late in the night when it
cleared of. the wind shifted to WNIV, and has
blown with great violence all day
The Steamer New Haven from Greenport for
Allyn's Point came over as usual, and landed her
passengers at the Point, took on board the Boston
passengers for New York and came down the riv-

O'Clock last evening, but the were detained by
the storm and did not reach Allyns Point until -

some fifteen or twenty passengers to come on

The .Nohegan. due here from NewYork this
morning at o'clock arrived at about She
came to anchor under Charles Island, some hours
after leaving New-York and remained until )
o'clock this morning. when she got under way and
came down the Sound before the gale
This morning, as soon the people began 70 STIR,
it was reported that steamboat was ashore on
Fishers Island opposite North Hill not far from
the South Dumping and from an examination by
glasses which revealed a large sized steamer, it
was feared that 1t must be the steamer Atlantic,
which left for New York at . o'clock A NJ
No communication had been had with the vesse
at the time the Mohegan arrived. At O'Clock
Capt Van Pelt, on being informed OF the perilous
position of the vessel determined to attempt to
lieve her AS soon his passengers for Boston
were landed at AIlyns Point he took on board
supply of coal and came down the river and went
over to Fishers Island.
The Mohegan has just returned, 2 o'clock, NJ
and reports the vessel to be the Atlantic. that she
is at anchor about fourth OF mile from the shore
and appears to ride with Her smoke pipes
are gone, as also are her paddle boxes-supposed
to have been removed to prevent the action o the
wind from driving her on shore
The Moheeen owing TO the violence of the gale.
could hold no communication with those on board,
and could learn no facts in relation TO her getting
into such situation. 1t is supposed, from the pc
stion she was first seen in, in the morning that she
had made some progress up the Sound when some
part of her machinery breaking, she was compelled
to come to anchor and the ierceness OF the gale
drove her on a eelshore She was seen by seve
raj persons early this morning drifting slowly down
the Sound as if dragging her anchors.
FRIDAY. Nov GO o'clock A.
The steamer Nelc. Harea came down from Alyns
Point last evening having on board several OF the
officers OF the Railroad Company for the purpose,
we suppose OF attempting to afford relihi to those
on board the Atlantic, and If possible, rescue the
noble steamer from her dangerous situation but,
owing to the continued fury oil the gale, 1t moi
deemed prudent 70 make the attempt; and the
New Haven and Mohegan are now lying in the
dock.
Whether there has Vet been any communication
with the Atlantic we know not. and what may be
the fate Of those on board il is useless TO surmise.
Doubtless, however, that powerful steamer has tul.
filed the expectations formed OF her, and has been
able 10 withstand the fury OF the elements without
injury and today we shall without doubt witness
the safe delivery OF the boat and those on board
from the pers which have so thicky beset them.
