NeVb1ryport from Philadelphia, was seen ashore
on Rsinsford Island, where she remains IN an up
giaht position and will be got off as soon as she can
be relieved OF her cargo.
From all parts OF the country we learn OF the great
severity OF the storm, and snow has fallen IN large
On Inc sound the storm ragged with alInozt I'M
Known fury. The steamers all started from New
YORK at the usual hour. The Fall River boat, I'M
PEELED BY the fury Of the elements to seek naroor
and being unable 10 make a port ON the SOUND, re-
turned TO New York at O'Clock the same night
The StoDing train reached thls city last even
fpg ct about 81 O'Clock passenger informs us that
The officers of the boat the setts could not
remember more furious storm. The.wind was
very high, and the swell OF the sea was very nesvy.
From the commencement OF the storm until Tues
day morning, no lights whatever we're seen IN the
Sound and from II o'clock until daylight, the officers
were entirely ignorant Of their position.
An effort was made to run into Huntington haroor,
but no light could be found, and accordingly the boat
kept on ner way. Al daylight they we're 50 mules
from Stonugton, which place was reached at IL
O'Clock. But fe of the passengers conectured the
danger through which they passed. The Masss.
chuse,ts behaved n0bly. and but about an inch OF
water was made IN the hold. The freight from the
decks was all carried into the cabin, which 1t is
thought saved she boat.
At Portland about inches of snow fell
Al New buryp0It the storm violent on Monday
night, ard Yesterday the wind Die ~ perfect gale.
About inches Of snow lay on the ground yesterday,
much drifted.
In New. bedford, Fall River, and other places in
that section, large quantities of snow fell.
At Hartford 1t sno wed violently, and seyeralinches
Of snow fell.
Remarkable storms for three or four years past
have occurred in April, but for appropriateness to
the season this surpasses them all
