A HORRIBLE SCENE.

With the lull of the storm and partial change
of the wind the waters of the bay at once re-
tired from the city and suburbs, and the two
rivers, transformed into torrents, were enabled
once more to discharge their superabundance
where they had been wont to. The rapid flow
towards the bay, however, impaired to the
waters SO much current and force that, In their
ebbing from the inundated wards and suburbs,
they wrecked many more houses, dragging to
watsry graves many more persons. Buildings,
and parts and fragments of buildings, furni-
ture, trees, goods, and bodies innumerable, of
man and beast, of fish and fowl, were for
several hours borne by the retiring food to the
bay, there to be only in small proportions re-
covered. Where the waters were gone a sad,
desolating sight was indeed presented by the
scourged wards and suburbs. As stated at the
the beginning of this letter, nearly 400 houses
were swept away, with all their contents more
or less valuable (39l houses by exact count
80 of stone and brick, and 30l Of Wood), and
mora than 400 other houses were more or less
injured. Some of the buildingswept away were
very costly ones, including nearly all the fine
warehouses on the leVee and the lower banks of
the San Juan and the Yumuri, not one of
which but had boxes of sugar and hogsheads
Of molasses storage, the whole of which was
also lost. In lives stated at the commence
ment the losses would exceed 1000. There
are accounts which reduce the number to 5UO,
and others that raise it to 1000. I find letter
from Matanzas merchant, which states that
4S2 dead bodies had been found and buried,
and that 500 missing perso2s were accounted
for The most prominent man drowned was
the rich merchant, Pedro Benet, Not a single
American was among the victims. The brute
creation naturally Jared worse than the man
in the inundated wards and suburbs, and the
number of horses, cattle, hogs, dogs, &C.,
drowned is very great. In the two wards of
Pueblo Nuevo and Ojo de Aqua only one
horse was saved, and he in truth saved himself
being found, after the waters were gone, upon
he had made his way whilst the waters were
at their greatest height. No pecuniary es-
Inmates Of the losses within the city have as
yet been made that can pass for reliable The
letter quoted from atirms they will exceed
S5,000,000.

Fearful Storm and peluge.

In Cuba, on the 7th and 9Th, a
fearful storm occurred. 1t was most
destructive at Dfatanzas, and 400
houses are reported destroyed, and
1000 lives lost. The Matanzas Gem
etery, was in ruins. Cardenas also
suffered severely, and many other
localities met with severe losses.
We give the following details of the
destruction at Matanzas:
ALLAN. (of the Sth) the Bailen bridge gave
way, and was soon perfect wreck. Quickly
the Yumuri bridge and the remaining one Of
the San Juan followed. Then the advancing
waters of bay and the descending, overfowing
ones of the two rivers met and commingling
/ for terrible work of destruction, swept fur
iously to the right and left, front and rear, and
| inundated the wards of Pueblo Nuevo and Ole
de Aqua, part Of that of Versailles, and all the
suburbs on the opposite sides of the two rivers
the water rising in the city proper as far as
San Francisco street. Most of the houses in
the inundated wards and suburbs were of but
one floor, and as in many streets the water at
tanned height of fifteen feet, they proved o.
but little protection to their inmates. Besides
the waters bore against the buildings with sucf
power that many were soon broken up, par
ticularly as the wind, which then reached it.
greatest strength, and the rain, which fell
faster and harder than ever, materially as
sisted in the devastation. The inhabitants OF
the uninundated wards were able to render bu
little assistance to their fellow citizens of the
| inundated wards and suburbs, as the winC
extended its work of destruction to their homes
unroofng houses, demolshing balconies, level
ing trees to the ground, and doing other dam
age. For more than two hours Mantanzas anC
inhabitants remained thus scourged with winC
and Water-the first increasing in intensity
the second in height. Finally, st 4:S0 A. III.
the rain ceased, the wind suddenly fell, tht
dark clouds opened, and through the opening
the moon poured welcome food of light, anC
the sorely tried inhabitants hailed the semi
phenomenon as of good augery-the forerun
ner of the ending OF the storm. In truth, they
| were not mistaken.
