The Great storm OF She Coast
News From the Tahoma.

Lieutenant Commander VIM. Gibson, CON-
manding the United States steamer Tahoma,
under date Of Nassau, New Providence
Island, October O. informs the Secretary OF
the Navy that on the Sd and 4th instant,
when on line between the Bermudas and
Cape Hatteras, his vessel encountered q storm
Of unusual violence and sustained serious
damages. The cyclone, when met, was NOV
ing Z. n. E. at the rate Of thirteen miles per
hour. Its course when nearest the Tahoma
was in 80 north and longitude 70 deg 40
min. west, bore s. 8. E. its whole diameter
being about two hundred and sixty miles.
Commander Gibson in his report says: at
came upon US suddenly and with no premo-
milton, the barometer registering rather than
foretelling the change in the wind and
weather The sea rose so rapidly and grew
so dangerously heavy that deemed 1t safer
to abide the issue by heaving the Tahoma to
on the port tack than to attempt to gain
westing by running her.
The centre Of the hurricane passed over
the island of New Providence on the lst
instant, and the scene Of wreck and devasta-
ton is said to be marvellous. The greater
portion of Nassau is in ruins, most Of the
houses being unroofed, many blown opieces
and some moved bodily from their former
stations into the streets. Churches, ware,
houses and other buildings Of solid stone
were shattered as by bombardment, the
trees destroyed, leaves and branches, as by Q
conhagration, and every vessel sunk or swept
high upon the beach. On the other islands
the suffering is said to have been dreadful
During the storm the important light at the
Hole in the Wall was extinguished and the
lights on Stirrups Key, on the Great lsaac's
and Gun Key reported uninjured, though
the tower of the frst-named is cracked
Judging from the dismasted and otherwise
distressed vessels that we have seen, both at
sea and in this port, the chapter Of casual
ties from the hurricane will not be briel

| Curious Letter to Madame
Parepa.

Last week, in Baltimore, Madame PAREPA
received from lady Of that city very hand
some and kindly-written letter, in which the
writer reminded the singer that by the loss
of the Evening Star the souls Of an Opera
Troupe had been suddenly sent to perdition
and besought her to abandon her profession
of a public singer, and attend to the saliva
ton of her soul. The advice was given sin
cerely, no doubt; but those who have heard
Madame PAREPA sing, would impute much
guilt to her SHOULD she rellnquish her profcs
sion. That, in her case, would be falling
from grace.

Let the politician who can lay his hand on

the great principle that ollice-holders ought
to be the servants Of the country and not the
