vision, and apparently contounding the

heavens, earth, and sea in a general chaos ; together with now and then a glimpse caught through the gloom, of shipping, forced from their moorings, and driving with a rapidity as the mind might well conjecture in such circumstances, to in

evitable destruction. Even to those, if any there were, who could not contemplate such a scene unappallcd, it must have been painful to reflect on the wide spread devastation which could not but be the result of this fearful "war of elements." About 12 o'clock fiTe wind shifted round to N. W.but without abating its fury until half an hour after, when it ceased raining ; the storm began

to subside, and the water to recede. At K o'clock it changed to S W. and the weather became calm and serene The most important of the casualties resulting from this awful visitation is the complete annihilation of the Drawbridg es over the Eastern Branch, from the toll house to the draw, a distance, we should judge of about .350 yaads ; and about 0u feet of the bridge across the Southern Branch. The destruction of these bridges, independent of the heavy loss it occasions to the company who owns them, is a sore misfortune to our town, as it completely cuts off, for and must measurably diminish the intercourse with that part of the country whence our market draws its chief supplies. As might have been expected on an occasion like this, where the suddeness of danger gave no time for preparation to meet it, the shipping have suffered severely. New-IIaven, September 4. A gale commenced here last evening, at 6 o'clock, (after our pper went to press,) which from 8 to 10, increased to violent tornado. Much damages was done. The new brick Methodist meet

ing house erecting on the green, and

hands must have perished. We arc sorry to learn that the Light House at Black Rock is destroyed. Many years must elapse before Bridgeport rega.u its former appearance. We learn from Trumbull. Newton, Washington, See. that the gaic was equally secere in the interior. The des ruction of fruit and fruit trees wa immense. THE GALE AT NEW Y. RK. From the Evening- Pof. From Saturday morning till 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Sept. 3 ; ue wt re visited with repeated and copious showers of rain, accompaincd by oin.- jouil peals of thunder and lightning, and an extreme dense atmosphere. The wind during the time veered and shifted to almost ererv point of the enmpas, wiitn

about half past 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon it came out from about eat.t ith ill the violence and fury of a hurricane, md continued until about half past eight o'clock last evening, throwing down ciiimnies, unroofing buildings, and prostrating trees in various directions. When the gale was at its height, it presented a mst awful spectacle. The wharves on the North river are ail mjured, the frame work being generally started from the foundation. Tne brig Bee is slightly injured in her bow9 by being driven against the d .ck. Mr. Rabineau's bath at White's wharf mar the battery, was torn to pieces and amen into the ship so complete L ihe w-tck, that scarcely two boards or plank of which it was built, remain uUacu-d 10 each other. The steam boat doc at Market field street is destroyed 1 he battery is partly inundated. t!ic cirth washed away as far as the first row of trees, and the lamps in front ot iht Flag staff, together with the benches all carried away. Brig Hero, at Gouveineur's wharf, had the stern knocked in ; and ihe sloop Caroline, wi'h molasses and sugar, sunk at the tame wharf. J he ship Gieanor, and ship Jones, were considerauiy damaged. The ship Chase, Baxter, rode out the gale, and came up this forenoon, Brig Day do. They were the only vessels at quarantine that weathered the gale The wharves on the East river are very much injured some emirely destroyed ; all so much so that it is dangerous for carts to venture on thtm. Some houses were uniooftd ami blown over, in the upper part of the city. One in Broadway, near the lead factory, was blown down and killed ten cows. One of the wings of the Ball Alley, in Alien
