SEVERE STORMS IN GREAT BRIrAN.-In our alb
stract OF the foreign news, day or two since, we
alluded to the fact that storms had ragged
In England to the great detrment Of the crops. BY
Liverpool papers Of August 25th, gather further
Of the extent and rsvages Of those storms
which resulted In great destruction to life well
property In the neighborhood Of Manchester various
trees either torn up by the roots or huge limbs
broken of them. in the counties of Cumberland and
Westmoreand numbers Of large forest torn
up by the roots; the stocks Of corn in the harvest
fields were scattered far and wide. and considerably
damaged and hundreds Of bushels Of apples other
ut which not ripe scattered from the trees
many Of which were blown down, while others were
much shattered. All the rivers much swollen.
On the night previous to the Storm about q thousa nd
boats, each manned by five fishermen left the various
ports Of the east coast of Scotland Stonehsven
and Frazerburg for the herring fishery The following
is the description of the the following morning.
"The whole coast for a mile and half was strewed
with wrecks and the dead bodies Of fishermen Twenty
O'clock and at the time the latest account left others
being constantly thrown ashore among the wrecks
on the sands the rocks Forty boats were wrecked
within the circuit Of half mile and sudden and
awful was the catastrophe that of succorng
or saving the distressed and perishing fishermen could
be devised. How many boats may have foundered at
sea- or gone to pieces among the precpitous cliffs Of
Buohan at present tell. Ono thing appears
certain that the lowest estimate Of the loss Of life and
property by this gale exceeds that produced by any
other hurricane hitherto recorded in the annals Of tho
east coast Of Scotland II is calculated that along
the csast not fewer than hundred lives have been
lost" Accounts from other places contain similar
melancholy details Boston TapeAer.
