The damage at FarlingtoR is incalculable: all the embankments are washed away, and the-greatest devastation hes been caused. To form some idtea of the rush of water 4bat en- tered these marshes, it is only necessary to say, that the engine. hoase attached to the water.works was completaly sarrounded. Two vessels were driven over the banks, anid several boats passed over the marshes. The gale lasted, it may besaid, nearlv 8O hours. Its parallel is not remembered by the oldest inhabitant. SIM-1O1TH, Nov. 23. The dreadfulstormoflast night, thewindblowingfrom thesenth- ward with a spring tide, has, I fear, ratined this beautiful little place, and plunged whole fam2lies into thc deepest distress. There is not one house on the beachi which has .ot been broken into by the sea, all the lower parts being destroved ; the doors, wiadow-frames, and inner partitions carried wholij off and the furnitnre ruined. Wallis's Library and billiard-roomn completely destroyed, and the lower part of his house one bed of shingles. Marsh is also, I fear, ruined. In s;hort, the whole Alarine Parade is nowv a beach of shingle, sAp to the first floors of the houses, and the sea rolled with fury about five eclock tnis imorning into the town, so that the main street, as fa.r up as Harris the grocer's, wvas only accessible by boats for some hours& The tradespeople in tbat street have had all their zonds destroyed, the water being over the counters. Thie silk-shop on the Parade was carded away alt^gelher, and the small houses be- longing to the poor fishermen just under the clift, opposite the Cihit Rock, were swept away, and the unforturnateinhabitants onlvescaped with their lives: these poor creatures, to the nurnbcr of 18 (13 of bham are helpless children) are totaUy ruined. AU the boats, fish_ ig-tackle, and bathing-machines, were carried ofifto sea, exceptone miachine, which was driven up near the Fort-field. In short, it is one heart-rendingscere oftmiseryand -uin.

The whole of the preventive boats belonging to the different stations within this port, with the exception of the one in Boveysand lZav, have been de- stroyed,and tliC boat-houses washed awvay; the pier it Port 1it'rinikle, in Whitsand Bayf and the boat-hoase on it, were washed away to- trether, by one of the most tremendous seas ever seen. A very large mirchant-sliip was discovered in great distress, about two miles off, with her sails blowing to pieces, she succeeded iu getting out of the bay, and stretched to sea. Nearly the wholeof the fish- cellars in Cawsand and W hitsand Bays, together with many hossew, were washe(d dovwn anci destroved, together with the greater part of their contents, consisting of fishing rackle of all sorts, seans, boats, &c. the destruction amonr the boats belongng to the watermene has been vety considerable. The John, Wills, leghorn for London, ashore on UWemburv Becll, anid itis feared will go to pieces; captain and crew drowned, the captzin's- wife saved by the exertions of the preventive crew stationed at Yalm, wtho found her on board, en- tangled amon.g the rigging, and dreadfully bruised; they also srac. ceeded in stving about one-third ot her carro, and much of there. mainder will be saved. The Wlelcome, Mlorris, from the Canary Islands, is also on shore near Wambury, high an the beach, crew saved: the cargo it, it is thought, has not sustained lunch inj,rs-. Two vessels are reported to be at anchor off i'othecombe, dis.tasteA. Thc crew of the Coromaandel, lost on the Breakwater, we understand are savetd. It is reported that several seamen belonging to the differ. ent merchantmen were drowned. besides tiose already tiamed.

The Nassau, Tretna-ne, for St. Ali- cliael s, has been got off, and must unload to repair. Thea, damuage occasioned in everv part of the port. and on everydescripti.a of property, hlsa been inm`nse. A great part of the cargo of the Mary ElUen, Gitild, fiotn Loftmon for Gibraltar, has been s5^ved itt goodse der. We have just heard that imrnense quantities of irreck have beer discovered fAoatitig in Boveysand and Bigbury Bays: it is therefore apprehendcd that considerable losses have. iaken place thiere.

Crew saved. Thie damage done to this port is very conal.. tderable; the whole of the vessels belonging to it were driven awray, and great part of the quay deisolishQed. The tidewas higherthtan ever reRiensbered; anti it is renmarkable, that the iide at low-water was higher than many tides at high water.
