GREAT DESTRUCTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY
The severe hurricane which passed over this city
in the early part Of this month, and felt so scnsiby
along our coast, has, by all accounts, proved most
disastrous to shipping and property through the
West India islands. We have already stated, in
brief, the destruction of Antigua, st. Kits, and
other places IN the Cult. The arrival of the brig
Pedrazs, yesterday, from Nassau, furnishes addi-
uonal proofs of the severity Of the storm alluded
TO, and of the loss Of number of American vessels
with their crews The fruit crop on the Island of
Nassau, and those to the wiadward suffered
greatly, as also did the salt manufactures in the
neehborhood 20 TO $4,000 bushels, it's said, have
been destroyed, which caused an advance IN
prices. list of the vessels lost and disabled will
be found in the ship news columns.

high degree all the requisites Of safety speed ease of
moveme mt. clean ness comfort and luxurious living,
which, with the kind and gentlemany department OF
yourself and officers, have rendered the passage mere
