The storm of Monday.

BosToN, Oct. 2S.-Fears are entertained that the
steam-tug Ajax, of New York, foundered in
the dreadful gale of Monday last. She was seen
off Chatham on Monday noon, since which time
nothing has been heard of her. She had on board
twelve men, among whom were Captain Timothy
Baker, a coast-pilot, and VIM. Skidmore, a Huri-
gate pilot.
The steamer seen going into Provincetown
yesterday is supposed TO be a United States sur
veying steamer.
The gale on Monday at st. Johns, N. b.. is said
to have been the most fearful experienced during
the season. Many vessels with valuable cargoes
were driven ashore. The schooner Maria, of ST.
Johns, with a cargo valued at S25,000, went on the
rocks and broke to pieces. Her crew were res
cued by the life-boat of the steamer Eastern City.
The ship President, of Boston, previously re-
ported wrecked, would prove a total loss. Thir-
teen Of her crew were still on board-all attempts
to rescue them having failed.
