We are informed by a gentleman arriving Dy the
Labourdonnals on the 9th Of August that Yoko-
hama was visited by typhoon on the 18TH instant.
No great amount OF damage was done In
ping ana some slight accidents. The vortex or
the storm did not approach Yokohama nearer, 1t
was believed, than from sixty to seventyfve miles.
Its course was northward and eastward, passing
Japan well to the eastward. Although only upon
the outskirts OF the cyclone the wind blew with ter
rife violence at Yokohama and In consequence the
French steamer was detained twelve hours.
Some apprchcnsions were entertained + or the
safety Of the Pacific ana Oriental mallboat Madras,
which left here on the 9th, at halfpast six IN the
evening. and should have been somewhere IN the
neighborhOOd OF the track OF the Storm. Nothing
or the Pacific mail steamer America, which left here
on the 18th. The bark Benefactress, which left
here the Sd, had not arrived, neither had
the brig WoOdbiDe, which left here about
the same time. 1t was supposed in japan that the
storm had extended FAR to the south and had COM
menced In the vicinity or Hong Kong, but this ol
course We know to have been fallacy.
