Prom the Buenos Ayres Standard. March IL.
On Wednesday, the 9th of March, one of
the most fearful storms ever experienced
in the River Plate burst over Buenos Ayres.
The afternoon was rainy, and weatherwise
people saw a regular temporal setting in
from the southeast. Mr. Louis Mclean
and others refused to allow their boats to
leave the mole with passengers, neverthe-
less, some had the temerity to venture, and
we learn that boat which left about p.
m. for the Vile del Salte, with o lady and
two gentlemen, was capsizsd and the pas
sengers were drowned
At the same time Captain Peel made
great efforts to procure the steam launch
Baby, to 60 aboard the Tycho Brahe,
which was to sail the same evening for
Liverpool, but the risk of going out twelve
miles deferred everybody from the attempt.
A passenger who had left for the Tycho
Brahe some hours before, and was unable
to reach her, turned back, and met the
boat, cspsized. in which the lady and gen.
tlemen we're lost. MIR. MLean had de-
spatched a boat with some sheep at am,

THE MOST DREADFUL EVER KNOWN.
The algibes were soon filed, and then
the water flooded all the lower rooms Of
the houses, in some places to the height of
three feet. We hear of floors having given
way in many houses, and in one case the oc-
cupants of room narrowly escaped falling

floor. The houses near the brewery in
Gale Bolivar were under water to the height
of three feet, and in those streets adjacent
to the Tercero the inhabitants were all

igable lake. and the Cafe del Parvuc was
inundated. About 10 o'clock the rain SUBJ
sided, and the wind began to blow with
tremendous force, coming In gusts and
causing some of the highest houses to
shake. At IL p. NJ. it was like hurricane,
and continued with more or less force till
in the morning. The captain of bark Da-
mon says it was the most fearful gale he
ever experienced it blew so hard that he
could not stand on deck, and the water
washed clean over his ship; his anchors
could not prevent him from dragging about
100 fathoms. Her Majestys ship Cracker

by the fall of the glass from 80 to 29. SO
when the storm began; four ships drove
past her, but did no harm. The whale
boats were carried about in every direction,
one was seen to go down with two men
aboard, and of the seventy-two lost
or aground it is believed many of them had
one or two men aboard.
