NORFOLK, Va, August 3, 1858.
This section of country WAS visited yesterday
afternoon by sudden aud somewhat severe storm,
which donbtiess done considerable Injury to the
crops The corn growing IN the gardens, in and
around the city, was Frustrated, and we have
heard Of several trees that were torn up by its
Jury. One OF the tarrots ornamenting the new
Catholic church was lifted frcm the tower 1t sur
mounted aud thrown upon the roof: portion OF

some damage, but We have been unable 10 learn the
amount.
Last nights steamer from Old Point brought
wotui accounts OF the effects of the storm, which

Field describes the work
Captain Hudson, Messrs. Everett and Wood

the ship. and every man aboard, exerted them
selves to the utmost to make the expedition suc-

they succeeded.

more than two-thirds Of that distance is in water
over two miles deep.
The cable vas paid out from the Agamemnon al
