Monday Morning.
•From an English paper,
SONG.
Oh wake thee not, dearest! no demon
hath started
To brood upon raven wing o’er thee ;
I'm the spirit polite of a beau that’s de*
parted,
And linger on earth to adore thee !
■Too tenderly fram’d for this rude world of
man,
And fur kindlier regions intended,
I was slain with a frown and the flirt of a
fan,
And to-Folly’s Elysium ascended:
There fops of all ages for-ever are hymn
ing
The charms of young beauties like you
Love;
On wings of white lace from someday co
quette’s trimming,
Or cut from her last billet-doux Love !
There lightly on clouds, in their tandems
aerial,!
The-spirits of “four in hand Hectors.*’
•With boot unsubstantial and harness un
real.
Astonish pedestrian spectres.
There dance we [and sing we as softly as,
syrens,
Hut nought from th : « world that’s pleb
eian,
r One only sweet lyric of Mooreor of Byron’s
One only quadrille—" the Psychean.”
And lo ! on the moon beam in silence!
slip
From eternity’s regions ofblisses,
To fhn with my pinions thy bosom and lip,
Till thy dreams be of sighs &of kisses.
B.ut the pale dawn awakes—l must fly,
Love, from thee,
Ere her smile in the east she discloses,
To a light dejcunc upon lavender tea.
And purified otto of roses,

New-Vouk, September 4.
Tremendous Gale.
Last evening we were visited with one
qfthe most tremendous gales of wind ever
experienced in this city. We had rain
most ot the day. witn the wind from S to
SE. Between 4 and 5 o’clock it chang
ed to N E and blew until near 7 o’c ock
with great violence. About that hour the
wind abated, and soon after shifted to W
N-W- At this time it was the hour for
lo\f water, but such had been the violence
of the tempest, that the sea was forced in
to such a degree, that the whaives were
overflown to the depth of from 12 to 20
inches.
Most- of the cellars in the lower part oj
the city were filled Willi water, and we
think considerable properly must have
been damaged.
The wharves on both sides of the city
' are gn -tiy injured, and some demr-oyed.
Large quantities of lumber; and some

NORFOLK, September fi.
Tremendous Storm 3
l Among the rest of our misfortunes, we
arc grieved to state, that our town -was
, on Monday visited by a storm, or rather
I tornado, tar auspassing in violence and ca
lamitous consequences, any that it lias e-
I ver experienced within the remembrance
f of the oldest inhabitants- The best des
i cription we are prepared to give of it at
t tliis moment, cun convey but an imperfect
conception oflts terrors,
r:■ Tlie morning was dark and gloomy, and
s about six o’clock the black and lowering
- clouds began to discharge their Watery
contents, not in gentle showers, -but lite
- rally m torrents. At ten o’clock, the rain
e abated for a few minutes, as if to collect
a itseit for a more copious discharge ; for it
p esuinty set in again with increased vi
. olence, aud the wind commenced blow-
T ing a heavy gale from N. E. which con
linued to increase to a most alarming
- height. From half past II till half past
. 12. so great was the fury of the elements,
that they seemed- so threaten a general
i demolition of every tiling within their
r reach. During that period -the scene
l " e y presenter! was truly awful. The
j deahmng roar of the storm, with the min
i gled c. ashing of windows aud falling of
; chimneys— Uie rapid rise of the tide,
threatening to inundate the towk—ihe
i cunlinuous cataracts oi iam sweeping im
petuously along, darkening the expense
ol vision, and apparently confounding the
* heavens, earth and seas’ in a general
chaos; together with now and then a
‘ glimpse, caught through the gloom, of
t shipping forced from their moorings, and
driving with rapidity, as the mind might
• well conjecture in such circumstances, to
inevitable destruction. Even to those,
it any there were, who could contemplate*
suen a scene unappalied,it must have been
. i-ainlul to retleci on the wide spread de
i vastation which could not but be the re
sult of this tearful “war of elements.”—
About 1- o .clock the wind shifted round
to N. W. hut without abating its fury Un
lil half an hour after, when it ceased rain
mg ; tin. storm began to subside, and the
water to recede. At four o’clock itchan
ged to S. W. and the weather became
cairn and serene.
B e now proceed to the unwelcome
task of enumerating the casualties re
sulting from .this awful visitation the
most important of which is the complete!
annihilation of the Drawbridge over the
Eastern Branch, from the toll-house to the
draw, a distance. we should judge, of about
240 y ank ; and o£ about 100 teet of the
bridge acioss the Southern Branch. The
destruction of these bridges independent
ot the heavy loss it occasions to the com- 1
pany a*ho owns them, is a sore misfortune,
to our town, as it completely cuts off, fori
the present at least, the land communica
tion, and must measurably diminish the
intercourse, with that pM of the country,,
whence our market draws its chief sup
plies. ~ ;
As might have been expected on an oc
casion nke this, where the Suddenness as
the danger gave no time for preparations
to meet it, the shipping have suffered se
verely. The following are the particu
lars :
The brig Georgians, of this port, tak
ing in a cargo, and having 95 tierces of
i rice on board, parted her fasts and soon
after capsized : in this situation she was
driven up the Eastern Branch and groun
ded opposite to Col. Godfrey s, where
. she now lies apparently halt full ot water
, —spars and rigging all sale. The Eus
tern Draw bridge vuis carried away Uy the
lorce with which the Georgians was dri
• ven against it.
'i he bug Mexico, of Bath, laden with
lumber, wenlashoie on Washing ton Point
(opposite Hutchings's wharf,) and carri
ed away her top-gailunUmast.
Ihe brig Minerva, of Bath, lying tl
Frost’s wharf, was forced in between two
milks, where she remains, nearly higu and
dry at low water, ami sj situated ih,.t she
t will probably not be got off.
, The schooner Cole bus, of Gardiner,
, drove over Upon Washington Point,
where she lies high.and dry.
i The schooner independence, of Bath,
with lumber, drove against the southern
causewaj ot the Drawbridge, amt wid
. probably be got oil without much ditli
culty.
'1 he sloop Hiram, of this pnt, drifted
up the Eastern branch, about half a mde
abovc-ithe Drawbridge, ai d will be got oil
again.
1 he sloop Mary, of fins port,* sunk, and
alter being caniedtip the Eastern branch
by the wind, was drifted down again by
the ebb tide, below the forts. •
The schooner Fiances Miller, ofWal
doboro’ run ashore up the Eastern branch
and w ill probably be got off with but ,ii
lle damage.
The sloop Dan, of Petersburg, with to
bacco, got.ashore near the Frances Mil
ler, and was dismasted. ;
, The schooner Lareine, of this port, in
ballast, capsized aud sunk up tire Eastern
branch,.opposite Frost’s windmill: no
thing but her mainmast standing—rigging
all gone, stern stove in, and full of water.
'Uie steam-boat Richmond drove up the
Eastern branch, is ashore on the point be
low Totem’s, about U) feel above ordinary
- high water mark, both anchors, cables,
and two boats lost, her Jaiboard guard
stove -in, and otherwise damaged—will
, not be-got off w ithout much difficulty and

f The steam-boat Petersburg g#t ashore
~ astern of the Richmond, about 6 feet.from
.. ordinary high water mark; cables and
anchors, and one ben t loat r guards stove in,
( . bulwarks and slancheons carried away and
[ otherwise materially injured— will be got

. THE GALE.
j We now continue the hst of disasters
. occasioned by the gale on Monday even.
r '"£■ Last evening we visited the Park,
, Battery, &c. and can say with the Editor
r °* the Ameiican, that we have often htaid
’ sailors tell ot the wind breaking a soar
j like a pipe stem, but had no idea of it nil
we saw the effects of the late gale ; limbs
, of trees, us big as a man’s body, »
broken with the facility of g'asn, and trees
the growth of half a cenluiy, uprooted in
an instant by the force of tne tempest.

L ed into the fortopgullant rigging of a fang
