were flooded Monday night and the occupants
were compelled to seek shelter, in many cases, in
the Station-HOuse. The Police returns from the
First Ward, say that in Washingtonst there
were fifty Easements under water, beside twen-
ty.fve in Greenwich.st. In the cross streets the
tide, which was very high, has flooded a still
larger number of cellars, destroying large amount
of property. Chairs, tables and other articles of
furniture were floating about the streets, which
were also to great extent under water. The
steamers which left here on Monday evening for
Stonington, Norwich and Fall River, after pro.
ceeding as far as Harris Island, came to anchor,
on account of heavy weather. At IL AM. next
next day the State OF Maine and Worcester re-
turned to the City. The Commodore was also
getting under weigh to return when the State OF
Maine left. The steamer Champion came in at
about II o'clock from New. Haven. We learn by
the State of Maine that the storm was most vio
lent during the whole Of the night and forenoon of
the next day, and that near the gate the water
was so high at full tide as to overflow many of
the piers and wharves on either side. The storm
was severely felt on Staten Island. The road
along the shore at Stapleton was submerged sew
eral inches by the heavy tide, which made com
plete breach over it, and over several Of the docks
The Health Officers dock at quarantine received
considerable damage. The new bulkhead, but
recently built at Stapleton, was partly washed
away, portions Of the wreck being carried high up
on the beach Capt. Vanderbt's landing was

the storm must have been severe in that quarter.
The steamship Alabama, which usually arrives on
Tuesday, at noon. had not arrived whom went
to press. The shipping in port, however, has re-
ceived but slight damage. Many vessels have
been somewhat chafed, but none have been serl-
ously injured. All the outward bound vessels
were detained in port, not being able to make
Roadway against the wind
