the storm was general all along the New England coast, and that a long list of dis- asters will have to be recorded to shipping atttl otherwise. in Boston the wind was fearful. and the blowing down of cbitnlle 'N. mitl the unrooting of houses were not the most serious damage it occasioned. The stccpics of the churches rocked like pea- iiulums, oscillating from in inches to 2 feet, mid so grc it was the danger that the inhabi- tants of houses ill the neighborhood ol’church- lcs were removed to more secure quarters by lthe police. Most of them were luore or less damaged, losing uiiuareta. tine reeling, .itc. Trees, both shade and fruit, were everywhere rooted tip or stripped of their branches. Many buildings ill the course of erection or repairs were elitircli dismantled. andiusulne cases the walls were levelled with the ground. Piles of lumber, ttlnl other material on, or iietlr the wharves, were blown away by tile vrind. or washed away by the tide, which rose to all unprecedented height, and swept. all be- fore it. 'At Derchcstcr the spire nfan Epis- copal Church was blown down. The Unitar- ian and Episcopal Churches at Sonicrville were utlroofcd.

At Chelsea one man had a block ui‘2tl wooden buildings just up, but without the doors and windowa in. They now lie an incxtrleable mass of dehrt'tt and rubbish. At: the same place a great many other houses were des- troyed, and the spire of the Uliivcrsnlist church was so bent. lroln the perpendicular that it will have to come down. At Natusket Beach the storm was so fearful that ii party of twenty Ilicn grasping each other for safety, and escorting ill that way a few ladies, were with ditlicuhy able to save themselves front being blown into the sen. while another party at the Sugaluore lluuse, fearful oftheir lives, “19"” 0‘" “'“l "‘"Ullt tlinsltelter oftlie rocks to see the whole building immediately atwr lifted from the earth and carried many rods, smashing us it struck, and crushing in like all egg shell.

One great good that has arisen out of Prince Arthur‘s visit to the llritlsli possessions in America, now under process at consolidation, is that our neighbors have been colitplctcly disalitlsed of their deluaivo belief tlnit. Nova Scotia mid New Brunswick are annexationist. The leading New York papers sent. correc- poiidcnts to Halifax, anti these had ample op- portunities to discover the sentiments of the people.
