IsLAsD.-On Blsckwell's, and the adjacent islands,
the late windstorm ragged with great fury for several
hours, and did immense damage to the trees on the
grounds connected with the various institutions. A
portion of the roof of the Female PauperHouse was
torn off by the violence of the gale, and carried as if
it had been shingle feather into the river. The
unroong of the building caused part of the gable
wall to fall, but fortunately iDjuring no one. Appre-
tensions were entertained for the safety of the
wing of the Penttntary building, but with the assist
snce of large force of men from the Workhouse,
everything was made secure, and no damage in this
quarter was sustained. Several sheds used by the
stone.cuters were demolished, and the boards were
borne in every direction by the wind The damage
done 10 the Female Almshouse will not however,
exceed $500. On Wards Island and Randaus Island
fences and sheds were blown down, and several trees
were twisted off at their roots The total damage on
the three islands will foot up to about $780,
