Nrw York. Sept 1.-THE tremendous
storm which devastated the northeastern
norton of the country yesterday, had lost
none of its severity this morning. Early
this morning there was northeast gale
bio wing at the rate of twenty-six miles an
hour. with pitiless rain. AT 9 O'Clock, the
wind through the streets stirred up things
at the rate of thirty-four miles an hour,
and, although still raining, as a general
thing umbrellas were absolutely of no use.
Hats and umbrellas Jared badly. The lat
ter were torn to shreds, while the former
gave their owners lively chases. Along the
water fronts the city presented the same
water-soaked appearance of yesterday.
VERY HIGH TIDES.
Before noon the tide in the East river and
North river had risen foot higher than at
streets We're in many places completely
washed up to the farthest curbstones. The
property of the Washington market
butchers again suffered no little damage.
Vessels at anchor along tie South street
piers bad the appearance of having passed
through veritable cyclone. The rigging
Of many of the craft were torn into shreds,
and spars aud masts were dis
manted, while the waves beat with
great fury against the vessels sides even
as they lay at their piers. The telegraph
wires between here and Sandy Hook are
still down. There is consequently the
greatest uneasiness felt by the members of
the maritime exchange for the safety of
vessels in the otfiing.
ONLY TWO VESSELS ARRIVE.
In a round about way it was learned that
only two vessels had come up to quarantine
since last night. They were the new Nor

and sthe Hamburg steamship California.
The Emara was adelayed twelve hours out
side the bar by rough weather. The vessel
encountered hurricane on the night of
Sept. 9. While there was no serious dam
age sustained, things on board were made
lively, and the decks were washed fore and
aft. The California has on board big load
of immigrants.
The new German steamer Kaiser Will
terday, was obliged to lay to this side of
quarantine over night. The vessel passed
ont 10 sea at o'clock this morning. The
regular weekly feet of transatlantic steam
ers followed soon after.
STILL FURIOUS AT QUARANTINE.
Private adyices from the quarters of the
health officers down the bay show that the
storm at quarantine continues with great
fury. The wind is blowing heavy gale
from the east northeast, and the sea washes
over the surrounding walls. Along the
battery wall the waves danced merrily Y
aud dashed far iato the park
Their gambols were witnessed by scores
OF persons. The iron railing surrounding
the wall alongside of the ok commits
sioners building at pier A was carried away,
While the docks at Castle Garden were being
completely washed. The custom house
quarters at the end of the immigrant dock
was completely filed with water and the
landing agents office adjoining was de-
Stroyed. The rain fall this morning was
sixty one-hundredths of an inch.
oUTRoDE A HURRICANE.
The steamship California, from Hamburg,
which arrived at the bar at O'Clock this
morning, reports that on Sept. 9 she en-
countered a hurricane blowing fresh from

east northeast, continuing to port The
