Destructive Storm at New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, Aug. IA.
A terrible storm occurred in this vicinity
on Sunday. 1t lasted all day, and also, al
Monday.
Its effects, however, were most disastrous
at Glass Island, great summer resort. Ou
accounts represent it to have been entirely
inundated.
Every building on the island is said t.
have been washed away, and no less than 49,
lives are reported to have been lost.
The steamer Star, Captain Smith, left
here on the 9th, encountering the storm be-
fore reaching Glass Island, and became per.
fectfy unmanageable, and soon after was
wreck.
The scene among the passengers was ter
rifle, there being no less than $50 person:
clinging to the wrecked fragments of the
vessel, each anXiously waiting the arrival o
some vessel to take them off,
Whether any of the company have beer
lost is not yet known, though hopes are en-
tertained that all were saved, as a steamer is
understood to have gone to their relief.
Gallon Isls nd has also been submerged
but the accounts from thence are very mea.
gre. 1t is however reported that an i'm
mense amount of property and lives have
been lost.
The ships Bowditch and Ellser, and also
the brig Creole, which were lying at the
mouth of the river, have all been seriously
damaged by the storm.
On the lake and river we also hear of nu.
merous steamers, flat boats and other Graf
being injured.
Nearly all the wharves at the watering
places have been inundated, and the build
ings thereon, houses, &c, swept away.
Altogether the loss of property must have
been heavy, but it is impossible now to cal
culate the amount.
The crops, it is feared, have also suffered
severely.
The steamship Philadelphia, just arrived
from New York, via Havana, escaped the
storm, and is now lying safely at quarantine
with all well on board.

WASHINGTON, Aug IS.
HoUsE.-A bill was passed appropriating
two millions of dollars for the establishment
of q naval depot at Brunswick, Ga.
The Senate bill regulating the pay of mem
bers was then taken up.
Mr.. Orr offered substitute, and instead
of paying two thousand five hundred per
year, proposed six thousand for the entire
Congress, covering the present one, the mile
age to remain the same as now, deduction to
be made for voluntary absence, and the
books for the members to be paid for out of
their COMPENSATION. He said the members
were poorly paid, and if there was desire
to preserve anything like purity, they must
be placed beyond the reach of reasonable
temptation.
Various Intellectual motions were made to
lay the bill on the table, when the bill was
amended by Mr.. Orr, and passed by lOl a
gainst SO.
A resolution giving the usual extra COM
pensation to the House employees was adop-
ted. f
Much confusion prevailed throughout the
proceedings, and occasional desperate efforts
were made by cries of members to have their
several bills taken up under suspension of
the rules. The presiding officer was fire.
auently annoyed by a hundred voices crying
Mr.. Speaker, in order to secure an individual
recognition that they might move their re-
spective measures.
Amid the turmoil, the House passed the
bill providing for the appointment in the ar
my, of four surgeons and eight assistant sur
geons. =,
The bill for the survey of the Southern
boundary Of Kansas, and the Senate bill a.
mandatory to the act regulating the fees,
costs, and general expenses Of the judiciary,
were passed.
The bill making appropriations for carry
ing the mails on ocean steamers, was then
considered.
