following details =
"One of the most fearful storms known for
many years visited Limerick and its environs
last night. The wind blew with terrific violence,
commencing about twelve o'c!otk and contnu-
ing without intermission during the entire night.
Several houses were stripped of the states, par
t;cuarly those III "vp"-eI situations, and chin
ney stacks were blown into the street in many
parts of the city. Ga the river the storm ragged
with great fury. The moon being Il few days

the w. N. w., nearly in a direct line up the
river, the tide of this morning rose to an extent
almost unprecedented in the memory of the old
est waterman on the Shannon.
"The waves covered the Quays in some places
to the depth of three and four feet, and rolled
into the adjoining streets with resistless fury.
All the shops on the quays were filled with
water. With the exception of some frrty or
fifty bags of corn on the ground floor of Mr..
Rochford's store on Honan's quay, we have not
heard ofany injury done to property in the stores.

quay, had her side stove In, and suffered other
serious injuries in her hull. She had finished

"The hurricane, after short interval Of re-

about two o'clock p NJ, when the rain again
came down in torrents, and the wind was so
high that it was almost impossible to appear
out of doors. The appearance of the Lower
Shannon was truly awful The entire country
