New YORK, November Il.-By an
arrival from st. Thomas we have partic-
uisrs of q great hurricane, which lasted
about four hours, tearing up trees, lifting
/ houses from the foundations and dashing
them to pieces. Ships, steamers and
| small vessels were dashed together and
sunk. None of the crews were lost. Thou
sands on land are homeless and suffer
| ing. The excitement is very great. 1t
/ is impossible to estimate the loss, but 1t
must be immense. On the morning Of
| the 29th Of October, there being indlca-
! tions of 8 storm, the passengers Of the
| steamer Conway did not feel safe to go
| TO sea in her and wished to be transferred
| to the Rhone, a new steamer of the line,
/ where they might consider themselves
| safe in case of q storm they we're ac-
| cordingiy transferred, and both vessels
put to sea, but during the storm the
| Rhone struck on Peters Island, hel
| boiler Exploded and all were lost with
/ tho exception Of twelve or fifteen. The
| Conway was thrown Oh TOrtOla Island
and all bands were saved. Nothing
definite has been heard from the othel
/ islands. Report says the town on Tor
tola Island was destroyed and number
| Of lives lost. The steamer Columbian
came in about IL O'Clock, and at 2 O'Clock
was sunk and six persons lost. Her cargo
was valued at from one to two million
dollars. The track of the hurricane
seems to have been narrow, as the Mira
mon, from Rio, and the North America
from New York, arrived the day after
neither having experienced more than &
stiff breeze.
