STORM AND FLOOD AT NoRFoLK.--We have no
steamer from Norfolk since Tuesday last, nor has
the steamer Columbia, Captain Guyther, which
should have reached this city on Thursday morning
from Washington, yet made her appearance. The
steamer Osiris which left this city this morning for
Chesterown, after proceeding far as North Point,
was compelled to put back, on account of the bois-
ferrous and raging condition of the bay. be.
A passenger from Norfolk has, however, reached
here by way of Washington, who accounts, in
some measure, for the delay of the boats, though
his statement is calculated to cause consid-
cradle anxiety for the Columbia and other boats,
which may have been exposed to the storm. He
states that there has been a.severe and destructive
storm at Norfolt, a strong southeast wind having
prevailed for several days, which caused the water
in the harbor to swell unusually high. A large
norton ofboth Portsmouth and Norfolk is said to
have been inundated, the water rising higher than
il was ever before known. Great destruction Of
property has consequently taken place, the stores
warehouses, &c, being thoroughly flooded. Fears
were entertained for the safety of vessels on the
coast, as the steamer Jewess, on Wednesday last,
started from Baltimore, and was compelled to put
back.
The water in our harbor ia also rising, and 1t is
probsble some Of our warehouses will be inundated
this evening. The Columbia has, It Is thought,
