The sToRM.--At about 8 O'Clock Yesterday morn
ing storm commenced which has gradually in
creased in violence. Chimneys have been blown
down, roofing to some extent injured, signs tossed
about, &c Should this prove to be the extent Of the
damage, shall feel thankful but we are apprehen-
sive that before tomorrow this time we shall be called
upon to record serious casualties upon our coast
the tempest is driving every thing In that drec-
ton As we have not yet had the usual equinoc-
taI, and the present having all the ordinary charec-
terstics, we suppose it may be set down as the
same. IL may be as well for us to remark here,
however, that the observations of the Royal Society
Of London, for some two centuries past, do not con-
firm the theory ofthe eqpinoctial storm.
FURTBEn rARricULARs.--We learn that several
vessels were yesterday driven from their anchorage
by the violence Of the storm. The railing around
the Battery is also reported as partially carried
away. The trees on the Battery have suffered con-
siderably by the storm-a large number having been
blown down. The outer walk around the Battery
was completely covered by the tide at high water,
so that a boat might have foated around II. Most
of the cellars along the river streets, in the eastern
section Of the city, filled with water, the sreetn
having been covered by the tide. As far as we can
ascertain, very little damage has been done to the
shipping along the wharves. Several frame dwe
lings, in the progress Of erection in Brooklyn have
been blown down. H@5
Al Jersey city the storm was more disastrous in
its effects. Several vessels dragged their anchors
and went ashore Some of the coal barges sunk
and the tide rising above the wharves, swept off
largo quantities of coal from the yards Mr.. Bald
