LONDON, March 25.-The terrible storm
which swept over Great Britain yesterday
was the cause OF the most appalling calamity
OF late Years, one that will east a gloom over
the entire civilized world. The British frig-
ate Eurydice, which has been serving as a
naval training ship, capsized of the south

wind, that tore through the streets,
sweeping every thing before II. The inhab-

those who ventured out soon returned with
as little delay rs possible. The sweep OF the

British Islands were visited by il. The
miIdness and beauty Of early spring, with
which the weather seemed to be impreg-
mated only . week ago, all at once gave way
TO the icy blasts OF winter. The storm was
exceedingly heavy and was accompanied by
falls Of snow and rain. The sea ran very
high, and the ships sailing near the ports
made haste to reach places OF safety. At
Liverpool the cold was intense last Friday,
and increased until sunday morning, when
= heavy fall OF snow set in. In the evening
the snow came down en- masse, and At the
time the mos; unusual and extraor-
binary phenomena took place. While blind
