by the tempest the details have been
slow in coming in, aud will not be known
for few days yet. In Dublin, one adj
vantage has come from the storm to

the heavy rainfall has caused the s'orage
reservoirs of the water works to begin to
fill up again, and he apprebended dan
ger OF water famine is regarded as hav-
ing been averted.
