TIE EouINoXIAL SToRM.-The equinoxial
storm, which by rights should have occurred
on the DIST, was postponed until Yesterday
evening. 1t consisted of wind, lightning and
thunder and rain, the water for a time pouring
in torrents. Some of the streets OF the city
we're flooded and the cutters OF klng street
were surging tides down which toated boxes
and whcelbarrows and large number OF wat
ermeloas that had been washed away from
green grocers stand. The boys had great sport
in snatching the melons from the water, but
one of them, colorcd boy, fell into the cur
rent, was carried by it rapidly down the street,
and came very nearly being drowned. Many
of the street crossings were rendered lmpaSSl-
BILE, numerous cellars were overlooked, and the
work lately executed by the Supcrlnte ndent OF
Police On st. Asaph and Gibbon streets, wash
ed considerably, and the original drain there
having been closed by the late improvements,
the water in it's efforts to run offrushed through
a house on the corner of ST. Asaph and Frank
lin streets, and it is said, would have drowned
the inmates, some colored women, If they had
not been rescued by the neighbors. The storm
prevailed against the tent of the Indian Show,
and the persons who had congregated beneath
that pavilion had their quarters returned to
them, and reached their homes with wet and
soiled garments Il wash occurred on the A.
l. F. r. R, near the New Mill Race, about
three miles from the city, which delayed the
arrival of the Quantico train, but 1t was speedl-

Richmond went over as usual. The night was
dark and the steamer Express FROM Baltimore,
due here last night, did not arrive until this
morning in consequence of the heavy weather
