The @etion of Reed's Point Wharf, on the south side of the Anchor Line | Warehouse, 18 all eeperated from the main wharl; the planking, is all off, and the logs wrenched apart. The Anchor Liny Warehouse, was work- | ing fearfully yesterday morning, and it was ex-| pected to fall when the tde receded ‘The rest ot the wharf is gonsiderably racked and strewed all over with empty casks, boats, &e. Braces were put along the face of the wharf to keep it from going away with the morning tide.

The Empress Wharf, presents a fearful as- pect, the whole top, haying been wrenched from ite position, breaking up the timbers, and rack- ing the warehouse upon it so, that it parted in the middle, and fell over upon its side, logs, time-| ber, and debris of every kind washing right into j Jhe end of the wharf, where the ceal for the use of the steamer was etered, is all broken up, and anything that might have been upon it, Washed away, This wharf will have to be en- tirely rebuilt.

Close by, and between this place, and the Cus- tom House wharf, is Mr. Lewon’s shipsmith | shop, the northeastern end of which has sunk with the wharf, suficient te crack one of his| chimnies, and the fuors have been lifted from | their position. Fortunately, Mr. Lemon, had

just got out of coal, and bad not got in his fall |

supply. |

The Custom House Wharf has a great deal | of the plauking terown up, and the foundations | of Mr. McLeod's warehouse, appear to have been considerably shaken, :

Lawton’s Wharf is much in the same condi-| tion, and some of the ships have their sides ond | sterns chaffed pretty badly. The deals, which were in the scows, iying in the slip, between these wharves, being strewed bil over it, and filled up with floating debris.

The Marsh Bridge suffered pretty badly from the effects of wind and wave. At this point, the surging waters swept up in @ manner fearful to behold, flooding the entire lowlands in the locality, from a foot to a foot and a balf oo a level, A portion of the eastern side of this bridge has been swept away, and will require immediate attention, it being a dangereus spet, with eo much travel night and day over it. The shipyards were wasbed clean of everything, in the shape of timber, spars, &e. The north side of the flood-gates was jammed with timber, acd debris of every description. Nearly all day yesterday, a number of men, women, and boys, were busily engaged dragging out the wet wood, and carrying it off to convert into firewood. | An old woeden building, alongside the bridge, | shifted its position a little, and does not appear | over-safe, as it etands at present. The timbers, | swept from the wharves, around Courtenay |

houses, and everything not secured and in a! perfect condition, were prostrated by the wind

The wharves, along Courtenay Bay, suffered | severely, Holt & Nugent’s fine wharf, at the} foot of Union street, was wasked almost entirely

damaged state The wharf at Sullis’s Shipyard, | was lifted on the top of a mighty wave, and |

eral wreck, Mr. Wilson’s loss is very severe, | besides his whole seasen’s fish, the waves bore | off a large quantity of fishing gear valued at} something sear $2,000. Smith's Foundry, Cour- | tenay Bay, was partially blown down,

The Feiry Slip did not reeeive much injury, | more than losing a few piles, but had the tide! risen much higher, serieus damage would have |

arrived about noon, and iies at wharf, : :

‘The Railway track was damaged in places by the wash of the storm, and the bridge across Jones’s Creek, near Muncton, was blown away. Trains did not reach St. John, yesterday, from beyond Sussex, and that is the only place this city bas telegraphic communication,

YESTERDAY'S TIDES.

The wind having gone down in the night, there was less sea, as the tide rose yesterday morning, and thousands visited the various wharves to view the wreck, which had been made by the previous night’s high tide. It was believed that further damage would result from the incoming tide, even though unaccompanied bya bigh wind, The tide d.d not, however come up as nigh us before, and with the excep- tion of lifting the loosened planking, everywhere, along the wharves, we did not bear of any fure ther damage.

At 5, p. m., it was dead low water, and 80 low was it that boys could walk outside the South wharf, all of thirty-five feet below the point the water reached ou Mondav night at 190 clock. The oldest inhabitant was again in request and sald he bad vever seen anything like it.

Great precautions#were taken against a further rise last night, and many loose and shaky places on the wharves have beea during the day secured. At full tide, however, nothing unasual ogeurred, much to the satisfaction of everybody.

FREDERICTON,

In Fredericton the storm was quite preceptibly felt on Monday night, thongh the damage to pro- perty was not as great as in other Jocalities. One house, that of a Mr. Aikens, was blown down, but the inmates fortunately escaped unhurt, a couple of the large trees on the Square in front of the Officers Quarters were uprooted and branches broken clean off all of the others, and chimuey tops, fences and trees in all directions more or less demvlished. The roof was also biown off one end of the Car Shed at the Railway Station,

ST. STEPHEN.

At St. Stephen the violence of the storm, from all accounts, was severely felt The steeple of the Episcopal Church was destroyed, the rvof of the Wesleyon Methodist Church flattened, the top of a photograph Saloon opposite the principal Hotel swept away, barps unroofed, trees blown down, chimney tops toppled over, and in fact things in general outdoors pretty well disturbed.

In Carleten the damage must have been severe and it was reported that the “ Acadian” schooner lying in Rodney Slip, loaded with coais had sunk.

About 11 o’elock there was a rumor that the Suspersion Bridge had gone, but itis to be hoped tbat such is put the case,

The telegraph wires in every direction were prostrated, aud we are therefore without des- patches from abroad.

The tide began to recede about 10:30, and as it fell the wind also Julled. It had biowa trom the east. sweeping round to the south and weet, | and back to south again by widnight, when the | fog came in adding a melancholy gloom to the scene around the wharves, as though to hide the destruction, caused within the previous few hours, with a pall.

We heard that the “ Empress” had left Digby, but we trust that such was not the case, as it seems impossible that she could live in such a fearful geie, subjected as she wonld be to the force of a terrible cross sea.

Tne “* Acadia,” of the Anchor Line, came into the harbor about half-past tea and safely cast ancbor in the stream, near Long Wharf, which must have been @ source of relief to everybody interested in ber.

What this worning’s tide will be like it is im- possible to surmise,but uo effort should be spared this morning to make everything fast and strengihen those places of iinpugtance which were weakened last night.

The Right Honorable Edward Cardwell, Secretary of State for War, delivered a speech to his constituents at Oxford, on Wed- nesday evening last, on the subject of the policy of the Government towards Canada. He suid the general policy of the governing colonies from home was a total failure. Thee bad consequently been substituted for it @ policy to encourage them to develope their own power and resources, and stimu- late them to a epirit of self reliance.

He showed how successful this policy had been in the ease of Canada, and briefly re- viewed the progress recently made by that Colony. She asiready had an army of her own, and such a merchant navy, that, if her people choose to adopt an act passed for the purpose, she might become one of the first Wuritime powers of the world.
