sheet Of water, which was driven through the
Venetian blind ventilators, into and half across
the North west gallery, and also through the
upper veutilators, falling upon the main moor Of
the North transept. Workmen fastened TO cluse

The timing of the dome being unfinished the
water came down in showers all over the centre.
For time the water was nearly two inches deep
on the gallery floor, and poured down the stairs
in miniature cascades.
A great number of boxes, bales and packages
of goods lay upon the main floor among which
the water poured down from the edge of the
gallery floor, in destructive quantities. Fortu-
nately but few goods were opened, and were
upon the tables, or the damage would have been
irreparabe. As it is, we fear some of the goods
are injured.
During the Storm a most disastrous accident
occurred opposite the Crystal Palace, by which
three persons lost their hires and screen others

dent was in Forty third street, at newly

and was not entirely completed. During the
storm this building, which was two stories hIgh'
and rooted in, was overturned instantaneously
by the hurricane and levelled in moment to
the ground. At the time that the accident &C.

ground floor in plastering the walls .hree OF

with two Others, named Matthew McGrann and
