Another Sctere Storm.—The present .winter
bid* fnir to bn a* prolific in storm* and di«a*ier* us
the last. A snow storm commonct’d on Saturday
forononrt, and continued with but little intermission,
accompanied nt times by a severo 'North Easterly

covered to the depth of six or eight’inches'on.tt lev.

but little snow fell, although the weuther had not

.The storm must have been terribly severe in lhc.

.were' exposed to R aufleanl dreadfully. The brig
Romp, from Q’nyunne, arrived in our harbor yester

amount of $10,000 destroyed. Altogether the loss
is estimated nt about $35,000. •
But the lost of life is our most painful duty to re
late. Mrs. Brown, with a young child, unaldo to
escape, perished in (ho (lames. A black Woman
und her infant met tho soma melancholy destiny,—
Mrs. Morrison, hersolf, with an' infant in her
arms, amended to tho roof, crossed an to the other

tlm lira reached her. But anothof child, ninotoen
months old, lint not boon fuund, and is doubt.

It appear* that on tho 17th of November, while
lying to in a heavy gulu, tlm barque was struck by
a tremendous seu on tlm starboard bow, which car
ried away tho hbrvsprit,foremast and maintopmust,
andiwept the docks of the binnacle, both bouts, stun
riteonii spare spars, and almost every article on lire
deck*. The second mate, John Reid, and four of
the crew wore washed overboard nt the same time—
two of the latter were snvad. Tho mate, and Wil
Bern Irwjn,cook, nnd Junius Cummings, seaman!
perished.
Thq gale continued very henvy nnd tlm barque
unmanageable up to the 22nd, theses making a cum
plete breach over her. When the craw ware tuken
off the gale was still severe, and nothing/but thu
live* of the unfortunate men could bo saved; und this
would not have been effected, it is believed, Imd it
not beph for Francis's life-boat, which was used
lake them off. This boat was atove in getting out
hy rite sea, but owing to her buoyant prnparties it
made no difference, and succeeded in taking them
offin two beat loads. It is belicvrd that tho Uurque
went down shortly' after .the crew left.
