HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIEs.-The hur-
ricane which swept over Trinidad and Tobago
recently is described in the Chronicle, publish
ed at Tobago, as very disastrous to life and pro-
perty on the islands. 1t commenced on the
evening of the llth instant, and continued with
undated fury until early the following morn
ing. The Chronicle says:
The destruction of life and property in To
bago, known up to this day, is truly deplora-
BILE. We are enabled to state on undoubteda u-
thority that throughout the Island 20 great
houses Tor managers houses) are completely
destroyed, 81 do. do, severely injured; 2t
works completely destroyed; AZ do, severely
injured; 456 settlers houses destroyed; l76do
greatly injured. The general opinion is. tax
ing losses of every descriptioninto calculation
that the amount will fall little short of ESQ.,
600. The House of Assembly had met, and
taken such measures as were possible to relieve
the universal distress: In Trinidad the dam
age was by no means so extensive although
many vessels in the harbor were injured, and
considerable harm done to plantations. Nc
lives were lost. The crops in both Islands suf-
fered TO very alarming extent.

HEAVY FAILURE IN BosToN.-An almost I'M
precedented gloom was cast over our commun-
ity on Saturday by the authorised announce
ment in State street that the extensive house OF
Horace Gray & Co. had been Obliged to stop
payment in consequence of the great stringen-
cy OF money market. We have heard it stated
that Messrs. Gray & Co. had control Of nearly
one-tenth of the whole iron interest of this
country, and that their payroll amounted to
over thousand dollars per day. We feel as
sured that this suspension has not been occa-
stoned by any losses, or by depreciation OF
property, but by the present most unnatural
state OF the money market, and the large
amount of cash required daily to carry on theil
most extensive works, when, with the best
paper in market, not dollar was to be had in
State street.-BostOn Atlas, NoU. %.
The Atlas, of the 23d, says: "We are highly
gratifed to be able to state that the firm of Hor-
ace Gray & Co., whose suspension we referred
to yesterday, have made arrangements to re-
sumo payment, and that they will proceed with
their business as usual.
