The Equinoctial Storm and its Effects.

We had few blows and rain storms last week,
which, it appears, were but the fore-runners OF
the great equinoctial The pleasant days just
passed were but deusion; for many were led to
hope that the old fashioned storms peculiar to this
season, and which were generally of destruc-
tive character, had neglected to pay us their an
nual visit.
In the afternoon OF Friday, rain commenced
falling gradually, with the wind changing and
varying from all quarters of the compass, and
continued in this manner during the night. Yes
terday, Saturday. morning, the wind hauled to
the northeast, from which quarter ii blew per-
feet gale, accompanied by sudden gushes and tor
rents of rain. AS late as II o'clock last nj ght,
the storm was raging without the slightest indi-
cations of an abatement. The streets through
out the city were flooded, and it is presumed that
the cellars in the lower part of the city have suf
fered great damage. Many stores located in ex-
posed streets were compelled to close, owing TO
the intensity of the wind, and apparently but
little was doing in any branch of business. The
streets were nearly deserted none venturing out
but those who were necesstated by urgent busi-
ness. The air, during the day, was cold, dreary
and exceedingly uncomfortable-fir and over
Apprehensions are entertained for the safety
of vessels on the coast ; but, as yet, we have
heard of nothing beyond few slight accidents
in the bay. few days,w hope, will bring the
report of the safe arrival of those vessels, which
may have been so near as to preclude chance OF
weathering the coast or to stand to sea.
The brig Linden, lying at anchor near quaran-
tine, dragged her anchors during the blow yes
terday, and was driven foul of the public dock,
fortunately without damage. The bark Panchita
was blown at the same time from her noorings,
and came In contact with the same dock, but re-
ceived little damage.
We have heard of no other accident among
the shipping worthy of note Many OF the steam
boats leaving for the Sound and other places were
obliged to defer their departure. The Bay State
ton able to leave. 1t is said that number OF
unfinished buildings in Broadway, and other
parts of the city, suffered by the violence of the
wind.
In the vicinity of Second avenue, Tompkins'
park and other streets up town, the trees anu
shrubbery attached to the private dwellings were
torn up and scattered IN all directions.
In Brooklyn, we are told, the young trees
planted as ornaments in the vicinity OF the new
City Hall, and those of the more unprotected
streets of South Brooklyn, were entirely de-
stroyed. The streets throughout the city were
covered with trees lying about in confusion
having been torn rootsup and all by the winds.
The steamer Traveller, which lett at O'Clock
yesterday morning for New Haven, sue
ceeded in reaching Sands Point, when she was
compelled by the severity of the storm to put
back to this city.
for Charleston at o'clock yesterday afternoon
has postponed her departure till o'clock to-
morrow morning.
