CYCLONE AT SwATow.=A terrible cyclone visited
Swallow on the 2lst S~eptember, destroying almost the
entire shipping, both native and foreign. and causino
immense loss of life among the Chinese. Large
vessels says the Hongkong Mail, '-were carried a
long way inland by the huge waves; and not only
were houses un-roofed, but some of them had their
walls blown down. Even the hurricane which visited
Bombay in the commencement of 1855 was inferior
to this, before which everything went down that
offered any resistance Two hundred Chinese junks
were destroyed, and it is supposed that 5000 per-
sons lost their lives.
There were 70 foreign vessels in port, and all of
them, save one, were swept away from their anchors
by a great wave % feet high, which carried them
about two miles over a mud fat which has but two
feet OF water on it in ordinary times. No less than
sixteen foreign vessels are reported as lost.
