au of FROM OUR EVENING EDITION OF YESTERDAY. We are indebted to the purser of the steamship Bienville for favors. We are indebted to the purser of the steamship Suwande for Galveston papers. HEALTH OF THE CITY. -By the mortuary report, published in another column, it will be seen that there were only 147 deaths last week, and of these but four of yellow fever.

These few cases must be presumed to be purely sporadic, and should not inspire the slightest alarm. There is no reason to suppose that we shall have, this year, even an approach to an epidemic. WHAT THE MORNING JOURNALS SAY. The Crescent attaches much importance to the recent elections. It is evident, says the Crescent, the usual Democratic majorities have been largely reduced in Missouri and North Carolina.

Thence the Crescent infers, or seems to infer that those States will go for Bell in November. Upon what facts the Belleverettites base their rejoicings over Missouri and North Carolina it would be hard to say. In North Carolina, Ellis, the regular Democratic candidate is elected. He ran on the unpopular side of an important local question; he was opposed by every section of the Opposition throughont the State; the Douglas men, what there are of them, voted for his adversary; the Opposition, for the first time in four years, exerted their whole strength, and made a serious effort to carry the State. The result is Ellis's election by 6200 majority.

This is a falling off compared with his majority of two years ago; but it is absurd to make any comparison with that election, because both candidates were Democrats, and the election went almost by default in favor of Ellis. The suggestive fact about the recent election is, that Ellis has received the largest vote ever cast for any candidate, of any party, at any election in the State of North Carolina. And this in spite of the Douglas defection, and the loss of thousands of votes on the ad valorem question. As to Missouri, the Crescent is equally in error when it says that Orr (B. and is elected.

In that State the Democratic majority, so far from being diminished, has materially increased. In forty-three counties C. F. Jackson (regular Democrat) has 2710 majority. In the whole State his plurality over Orr will not 1 be less than 6000, and may reach 10,000.

It is highly probable, indeed, that he will beat the combined Opposition vote. Two years ago Stewart (Dem.) was elected in Missouri by a few hundred votes. Over Kentucky the Belleverettites have more reason to be hilarious. It is their first, last and only victory. There are some remarkable facts about this Kentucky election.

Combs beats all others combined several thousand votes. Bolling carried several counties against McClarty, which shows that, personally, he was a strong man. McClarty's vote is so meagre as to prove that he was not supported even by the organization he ostensibly represented. But strangest of all is that Combs, although he receives a majority so immense, actually has a smaller vote than that cast last year for Bell, who was beaten over 9000 by Magoflin. The Presidential Bell will have to do a good deal better than that in order to carry the State i in November.

The Bulletin goes into ecstacies over the Kentucky election. The following is an example: The news from Kentucky is bat the foretaste--is but low, shrill prelude to the loud, full, sonorous, ultant choras of the trumpeters and harpists, a giorious band of glorious patriots, that shall ere long burst upon the astonished ears of the plotters and schemers that have raised their unholy bands against the harmony and peace of the country, against the the Union of the Lord's anointed servants, against creations of Washington and the Fathers. Let them prepare for the tornado of patriotic enthusiasm, the wild, overpowering burst, that shall come surging up from the great, unsullied hearts of the unselfish, seeking masses of the country, and that shall sweep away the foul ulcers that political sectionalista have been breeding. Let the traders upon popular credulity, and ignorance, and passions, prepare to be driven from the temple which they bave polluted with the thongs which the people are getting ready for them. Their time has come.

Everything is excusable in the Bulletin just now, even its metaphors. But ordinary people would prefer to have them placed a little further apart. We agree with the Bulletin that it will be a glorious, but we must at the same time confess, very unusual spectacle, to behold an exultant, sonorous chorus of Belleverettites marching up to the polls in November, each with a harp in one hand, a ballot in the other, and a trumpet between his teeth. But how they are going to sound the trumpet and at the same time give vent to their patriotic emotions in that "sonorous, exultant is a problem yet to be solved. We commend the following to our readers as a fine specimen of the peculiar eloquence vehich characterizes the Belleverettite organs: Henry Clay has been honored by the verdict which his great State has returned upon the trial of the case of the Unicn vs.

Disunion. Cheers- loud, deafening cheers for Kentucky! She has again saved the Union, and preserved the Constitution. The spirit of Henry Clay yet resta upon her mountains and broods over her green valleys. The air that bathes them. the whole atmosphere of Kentucky is redolent of patriotism.

She has fired the popular heart." She has sent a glow of exultant enthusiasm through the whole nation. She has strengthened the bands and nerved and cheered the hearts that had ready, even before her victory, resolved to rescue the country from its perils. Millions of voices will sound ber praises. To the remotest boundaries of the Union will the effect of her vote be felt. It makes the election of Bell and Everett by the people practicable.

Let every National man in the country propose that, nothing less than that to himself. The path is clear, and glitters all along with innumerable rays of confidence, hope, trismph. Let impromptu meetings be held in every parish of Louisiana to thank the glorious Union men of Kentucky for their great, their splendid, their momentous victory. If Kentucky had faltered, the dark days would indeed have come. The Bee refers to the recent "fortification" report to the British Parliament, and quotes a portion of Palmerston's speech thereanent, and says: We think ourselves that the precautionary measures suggested by Lord Palmerston are abundantly neceswary, and can not be too soon adopted.

England ban as a near neighbor a nation which has been her open and bitter enemy for centuries, aud her friend at spasmodic and long separated intervals. That nation is one of the most excitable and pugnacious of any in the civilized world; while its excitability and pugnacity are unlikely to be at all subdued by the reflection that in material power, discipline and the command of military and naval resources it is at least equal, if not superior to its traditional rival. Who can say that France may not feel disposed to humble the pride of Great Britain? Is it not possible that Louis Napoleon may one of these days resolve to avenge Waterloo? It is understood that the Prince of Wales will arrive at New York about the 1st of October, The Daily Delta. VOL. XV.

NEW ORLEANS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1860. NO. 219. LATER FROM HAVANA. ARRIVAL OF STEAMSHIP BIENVILLE.

The steamship Bienville, J. D. Bulloch, commander, from New York via Havana, arrived at her wharf last night. Purser Patten farnishes the following report: On account of the quarantine regulations at New Orleane, the Bienville did not enter the harbor of was detained off that port twenty-four hours, endeavoring to send in her passengers and freight by means of boats from the city. On the passage over from Havana the Bienville experienced a violent burcane, in which she was obliged to lie to for hours, and was forced to stop at the Pass for coal.

She has, however, received no injury, and made a very quick trip up the river. The health of Havana was remarkably good for the season, the total number of deaths the week ending July 30th being only forty- There had been received two cargoes of coolies from Macao and one from Manilla, covering seven hundred and thirty-four of this class of laborers for Cuban field and general industry, under contract for eight years service. No local news of interest. SUGAR--Stock 240,000 boxes. Market animated.

From our Havana correspondent we have received the following letter HAVANA, August 7, 1860. Our festive game of royalty is over, and the last battle has been fought between the game cocks of the Queens of the Red and the Blue, and I think to the gratification of many of their proud retainers, who have spent the last ounce they could borrow in the silly farce. Certainly it mast operate relief to the Captain-General and his family, who were dragged into the melee without that respectful attention which was becoming their residence at the Quinta, liable to trusion at any moment by gangs of festive votaries, on horseback or in carriages, making rather strong drafts even upon the princely hospitality of the Court of San Antonio. If these things are revived another year, there will be a check-string upon gambling in the cockpit, and the informal invasion of neutral territory or official residences. The Reds won five out of six matches, against the Blue, paying off' the -scores of previous years, when the Blues had the chickens, the game and the "fixins" in their own bands.

As we were in want of excitement here, and had no Japanese--were weary of the monkey shows just closed--we called spirits from the bosom of Terra, and had a small edition of an earthquake, which rather surprised the people of the new locality for the display, who were not born in the mountain region of St. Jago. The vicinity of the village of Cayajabas was the place of the shake, and woke them up sufficiently to induce the inquiry what it all meant, and they have sent letters and a delegation to this city to consult with our wise men for a solution of their troubles. They will be enlightened as to the cause, and go home much forted, with protection against future visits. By the last trip of the Spanish steamship Mexico, the French Consul at Vera Cruz remitted for account of the Marocco war, the subscriptions of Spanish subjects, temporarily residing in the Republic of Mexioo, the sum of $12,000, and a small sum still remains to come forward, making our receipts of national love here overgoing a million of dollars.

We have received from Manilla, by a Spanish brig, 126 Asiatics, who have been worked under previous contracts, and are familiar with the Spanish language and Spanish industry in all the branches of farm labor, house service, They are put on the market for eight years service, with the salary advanced to $6 per month, and the payments per head will probably vary from 18 to 20 ounces, according to the qualities of the subject. There arrived here, on the 3d and 4th two cargoes of coolies, from Macao, having on board of a French ship 300, and on a Dutch vessel 308-lost in transit on both vessels some 58, according to rumors -not always reliable, even with official reports. Captains of steamships coming to Havana are to provide an additional note of cargo to be discharged in this port, in conformity with the manifest for the inspection officials when they go on board, so that the business of discharging cargo may commence immediately after arrival, without waiting for copies to be made from the manifest which goes to the Customhouse, and which can not be prepared when the steamer arrives on Sundays or feast days. It eaves some hours of time, any bow, to the steamer, and on feast days prevents injurious delay. The steamer (propeller) Salvor, of 411 tone, is to run between Tampa Bay, and Havana once every week, with cattle, having capacity to 'take on board, comfortably, 300 head.

She arrived in this port on the morning of the 4th, discharged her stock, and left early in the afternoon of the same day, finding every facility on the part of the authorities, for the discharge of her cargo, and the beet house in Havana to protect American enterprise of this class, Messre. J. C. Burnham the house where an American citizen, having business in Cuba, can always get a civil answer, and any reasonable service that may be required. The boat belongs to Mr.

McKay, of Tampa, was bought in Buffalo, taken round to New York, opened and enlarged, making one of the best cattle carriers ever put afloat. In my reference to the house of the consignee 0 this steamer, I mean emphatically to convey the idea that they act with great prudence and business skill with everything entrusted to them; that they are not averse to American enterprise, when it can aid in commercial or social interests, and that they are ever ready to do their part, whether to sustain a paper published in the English or Spanish language, or other less important matter. All the other houses in Havana doing foreign business, or at least with England or the United States, have the same liberal and enlightened views but the one house, an exception, which has dragged more millions from the United States than any other, is the only one refusing to foster enterprise belonging to the United States, or derived thence, because it so belongs and is so derived; yet Northern and Southern capitalists continue to feed their -they continue to grind-thankless for even the jobs they get. Such ie the coneistency of those most benefited by American industry and exterprise in Cuba. I have heard of an agent's concern in vana, who once received sundry plans and tions from a gentleman of New Orleans, which were laid before some board, or council, for consideration, and the cream of the enterprise sacked, when said agent was bound to protect the rights of his client.

The papere, even, never could be obtained from said agent, to be returned to the legitimate proprietors. It is the principle upon which said party does business, to take every advantage of the confidence reposed in him or them as the case may be. Many cases of like character, which will explain themselves and locate their own bearings, will be poured into the press; and a small pamphlet is in preparation which goes far back in the history--at least to the time when Venezuala was relieved of a barthen by Cuban adoption. There is but one management of this Cuban institation for ing millions from the labor and industry of the U.S. Very gentlemenly people may, by a casualty, be nearly associated with just such material as I describe- of superior intelligence and urbanity, they are enabled to rest in confidence upon their well establisbed tions-not to be tarnished by the soil of their near neighbor -or something more near, 88 the game money chest might assimilate them--no more.

1 In the world there is not a more noble class of gentlemenmore cultivated and enterprising in their businessthan the large merchants and bankers of Havana; and the trade generally will compare favorably with any like calling in any other country, and I am sorry that 1 am compelled to intimate the only exception to the rule, that our people may at least inquire what they are doing. The steamship Atlantic, from New Orleans all along shore, arrived here on the afternoon of the 5th, (Sanday,) and will leave on the morning of the 7th on her return voyage. By this steamer we have the interesting news of the discovery of three live negroes on board of the Wm. R. Kibbey, which was captured by the U.

S. steamer Crusader and taken into Key West. They had concealed themselves in an iron water-tank, where they must have remained eight days before they were found. Indeed, they found themselves, and came peering upon the deck when only the ship-keeper was present, who was enough troubled in spirit, thinking them ghosts of murdered Africans. He called aloud for help, it came, and he ventured to feel safe when it proved veritable live and healthy stock.

The negroes were from 15 to 17 years old, and they have gone on with the Kibbey to New York. It is to be hoped that a frigate. will be forthwith dispatched with them, for their interesting mother-land, for I presume they must be of Royal Palm-tree stock. They will soon find their way back to their friends and families, safely landed in Cuba. Our health remains about the same 88 when you were last advised, without any epidemic features, and the people comfortable -the trade-winds fanning away the summer heats.

Important from Defeat of Miramon--Swarms of Conducta Coming--Doblado In Arms--Movement of of and the News, Special Correspondence of the Delta. VENA CRUZ, August 1, 1860. We at last have something in the shape of news from the interior, though, like most Mexican news, it is to be taken cum grano. Information arrived yesterday, per express for British steamer, that Miramon had been defeated a few miles from Lagos by Ogazon. Unluckily, it sounds too much like the usual manufactures of intelligence for the foreign market.

But we are positively informed that the 8th regiment, (cavalry,) about 350 strong, has deserted Miramon's camp and gone over to the Constitionaliste. It is equally true that the Liberal forces in that region greatly outnumber those of the Little pion. On the other hand there is momentary expectation that the garrison at the city of Mexico will pronounce in favor of Miramon as Dictator -thus enabling him to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessorour old friend, His Most Serene High-mightyness Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana. By-the-way, is that worthy old gentleman now a days? It is ing how completely he has died out. We never hear him mentioned even for the sake of abuse.

Republics are ungrateful. Meanwhile every town in the valley of Mexico, excepting Tacubaya and San Angel, is in the possession of the Constitutional guerrillas. But why, 0, why, do they not take the city! The truth is, it is supposed they find their present occupation glory enough for them--not to speak of unlimited plunder and no responsibility. The long promised conducta appears to be coming at last. At least we are positively assured that $4,000,000 leaves (Mexico to-day for this port.

Ite arrival will be a great boon to the foreign merchants, as hard dollars have lately commanded a premium here of no less than three a and a balf per cent. Gen. Robles has moved out of Jalapa to Perote, it is now supposed to meet the conducta and escort it down to the edge of Tierra Caliente, where it will be received by the troops of this Government. Wonder if Robles will allow it to pass free, or will levy contribution as he did last year. The terms upon which this silver has been permitted to leave the capital are hard enough, viz: eight per cent.

paid there without its being exposed to plander, to say nothing of the export duty which it will have to suffer before it can be embarked at this place for foreign parts. Master Miramon appears, from all accounts, to bave been enjoying a jolly time at Lagos, in jousta, ments, gambling, cock fighting, and all other light amusements. Indeed, he seems to be a very ising young man, and every way worthy to fill the seat vacated by the illustrious predecessor aforesaid. Madame Miramon, (or Conchita," as she in called,) has suddenly grown jealous, however, and started out from the capital in search of the little rascal. It is supposed this "flank movement will terminate his fun, should Ogazon not have anticipated the lady, and flung his fat in the fire.

I can not precisely understand where Zuloaga, or Zuloagoros, Presidente in partibus, an be is styled, in at present. There is no doubt that Master Miramon is taking very good care of him. Urage is still a prisoner at Guadalaxara. It is said that all the other officers taken on the fatal 24th May have been released, but poor Uraga they will not give up at any price. Thus you perceive the misfortune of being a man of pluck and energy.

Doblado, the Governor of Guanajuato, in again raining his forces. This is supposed to be a Comonfort movement. Perhaps, after all, the return of the exPresident would be as good a thing as could occur. General Traconis baa arrived from Tampico. He understood to have been on a mission to Vidaurri.

Pacheco, the Spanish Minister, is said to have instructions from his Government to demand the immediate settlement of all pending questions with Spain, and if not acceded to, a Spanish fleet may be expected off Vera Cruz within three months. This would be a the happy event, for it howsoever is probable averse the Liberals may to be fight Spaniards they appear to shedding the precious Mexican blood." No local news of any consequence. The health of the place is good for the season. We had quite a "Norther yesterday, a most unusual thing for summer. VERA CRUZ, August 1, 3 P.M., 1860.

The gale of last night and this morning has proved a very severe one. In fact, it appears to have beea the tail-end of a hurricane, and the damage to the ship. ping in this roadstead (it can not properly be called a harbor) has been considerable. The schooner Oregon, of Mobile, dragged her anchors and went ashore before daylight. Vessel totally wrecked, but cargo, consisting of lumber, will be saved.

No lives lost. The bark Acme, of New York, dragged to within a ship's length of the reef, but has been towed out of her perilous position by the Mexican man-of-war steamer Constitucion. Most of the vessels dragged more or less, and various lighters and small boats have been smashed or driven on shore. The British steam packet Clyde slipped her cables and pat to sea, but as the gale has now abated, she will probably return this evening. The U.

S. flag ship Savannah appears to have dragged several miles, and must, indeed, have been in rather a perilous position. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE FELEGRAPHED TO THE DAILY DELTA. Missouri Election. St.

DISASTERS DURING THE LATE GALE. Vessels Ashore and Wrecked -Government Works on Ship Island Washed AwayLass of Life-Light-House on Luke Borgne Washed -Great Damage in Plaquemines Parish-Reported Loss of Thirty or Forty Lives By arrivals at this port we begin to receive accounte of disasters during the gale, the effects of which we experienced in this city, on Saturday last. It appears that the storm swept over a great extent, was very violent, and was of longer duration at sea than bere. The steamship Bienville, from New York via vana, arrived last night. The Purser says that on the passage over from Havana the Bienville experienced a violent hurricane, in which she was obliged to lie to for forty eight hours, and was forced to stop at the 8.

W. Pass for coal. She, however, received no injuries. The steamship Suwanee, from Galveston, also arrived yesterday evening. The purser reports that in coming up the river the towboat J.

L. Day and a schooner loaded with mahogany were seen ashore on west bank that a schooner which was a complete wreck, and a brig dismasted, were at the Forts; also, that the towboat Ocean, with ships Omar Pasha and Arno, was aground above the Forte. Our marine reporter furnishes the following statement of disasters on the The towboat Landie, Capt. Davis, from the Passes, arrived here this morning having in tow the brig N. Stetson and schooner Jacinto.

Both vessels were bound down, and whilst in Fort reach, during the storm on Saturday, the N. Stetson lost her foremast and sails and was otherwise damaged. She was bound for Tampico. Two of her seamen were badly injured. The Jacinto sprung aleak.

Both vessels are now over at Algiers for repairs. Capt. Davis further report that the schooner Wm. Colquet, Capt. Peterson, bound for Havana, was blown asbore at Fort St.

Philip, and will prove a total loss bat that a portion of her cargo, it is expected, will be saved, although in a damaged condition. No lives were lost. The tow boat Jas. L. Day, from the Passes, having in tow the schooner D.

F. Keeling, from Minatitian, wan blown ashore 6 miles above the Head of the PasseR, and both of them are now lying high and dry. The schooner J. H. Toone, Captain Pennington, bence for Havana, was blown high and dry at Passe a l'Outre.

The towboat Victoria was coming in over the bar, yesterday morning, with the brig M. A. Stevens, Capt. Butler, from Havana, which vessel was dismasted. The tow boat Ocean, bound down with the ships Omar Pacha and Arno, was met by the Landia below Fort St.

Philip, having got afloat. The ship Confidence, Capt. Seara, hence for New York, under sail, was passed below Fort reach, all right. The ship J. P.

Wheeler, Capt. Gadd, also for New York, was badly ashore at Point a la Hache. Capt. Gadd is in town for the purpose of procuring three towboats to get her off. The water at the Passes rose some seven or eight feet.

It was blown in from the lake, covering the whole of the levees and lower portion of the houses. The tenants of the houses were obliged to cut away the floors of their buildings to prevent their washing away. Several lives were lost, among which were three children. The steamer Empire Parish, from the Balize, will be op this afternoon, when we shall, no doubt, get further particulars. The Mobile mail boat Florida, due early yesterday morning, did not arrive until five o'clock in the evening.

We learn from passenger that the gale was very violent on the Lake. The Florida left Mobile on Saturday, and encountered the gale at 3 P. M. It gradually increased, and at 10 P. finding it dangerous to ceed, the Florida being then off' Pass Christian, both anchors were let go, and with steam up and the paddles revolving to ease the strain on the anchore, she rode out the gale until about 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, when (the gale which had blown all night, but was going down,) she up anchor, again started on her way, and arrived as above stated, having received only slight injury to her guards.

Our friend farther informs us that two ed to have been small schooners -were seen off Pass Christian, and a large ship was seen ashore on Ship Leland. From Capt. Baker, of the Mobile mail- Oregon, which arrived at her wharf at 4 o'clock this morning, we have the following report: The Oregon left Mobile on Sanday at noon. The gale was quite severe at that place on Sunday morning, from northeast to south and southwest. The water rose over the wharves and many trees were blown down; also some of the walls of the new theater.

The Oregon met the mail-boat California at 2 P. in Mobile Bay. At 3:40 P. the Oregon fell in with the schooner Exile, of Mobile, water-logged, and both masts gone; took off the crew and landed them (except Mr. Weaver) at Pascagoula.

The bathing houses and all the wharves at goula, with the exception of a few posts at the head, were washed away. When left Pascagoula at 6 P.M. on day, the weather was bright and beantifal, and there was but little wind; at 11 P. she met the mail Florida. The Oregon met the schooner Venice, hence We Tampa, learn west from of Grant's Collector Pass, Hatch all right.

that all the ment works on Ship Island were swept away during the gale, and that it is reported that some thirty forty lives were lost. Iris also reported that the Light- house on Borgne, at Proctorville, was blown down. Since preparing the above for publication, we received a letter from a correspondent in Plaquemines, giving an account of the storm and its effecta parish. He says that all the lower part of the country from Dr. Wederstrand's to the Quarantine Station overflowed, and that no doubt the effecta of the storm were much worse further down.

The salt water, it reported, was about four feet deep on the public road at Point a la Hache, and in some places on Urqubart's plantation it was nine feet deep. Urguhart's crop, our correspondent says, in very much damaged, and will be worse if it does not rain soon. Our correspondent says it was reported that some twenty-five or thirty lives were lost by the overflow, the unfortunates being wasbed from trees on which they had taken refuge. Mr. Wilkinson, he says, one black boy, five or six males, and his carriages.

stable and kitchen were carried into the river. Many other persons suffered, but there are no particalars. The store house at the Quarantine station, one informs us, was carried away. It was a building. The water, he says, continued rising for about hours, and, in disappearing, left destruction at every man's door.

It is useless, he adds, to expect that there will any orange crop in Plaquemines this season, or rice crop.

Flint Jones, with liberality deserving of commendation and imitation, have recognized the invaluable services of No. 13 in manner at once delicate and effective.

Two New Orleans Familles Drowned. NARROW AND SINGULAR ESCAPES. Particulars of the Coast and Lake Accidents, de. This storm, a description of some of the primary effects of which we have given already, in our Sunday edition, in somewhat singularly marked inasmuch on the same day of the same month, in 1856, and the wind from the same point, (N. we experienced in our midst precisely such a one dealing destruction on Last Island, and elsewhere on our local waters.

From information received, however, we learn of damage on this occasion beyond our expectations. At Proctorville the storm commenced with great violence, coming suddenly and unexpectedly. The water rose over twelve feet, entirely submerging the entire place and carrying every house, save one, away. This house is the one occupied by the Superintendent of the Fort-works. The greatest consternation prevailed and every possible method of floating escape was resorted to.

Only forty to fifty persons were saved, and from thirtyfive to forty lost. The population was principally composed of fishermen, but there were visitors in the place for their health. These visitors are also lost -their names are: Mr. W. F.

Welle, wife and two children, and his wife's ter; also a nurse of Mra. Wells's. It appears that Mr. Wells was an invalid, and went with his family to Proctorville for his health's improvement. When the storm came on, he was situated on the upper floor of a two-story building.

He said to his wife Go on the roof and take the children with you yourselves I have but a little while to live anyway -save yourselves." The wife and others, however, had little time even to save themselves, for they were, house and all, washed away and lost. A Mr. Fagot and his wife and five children were also lost, being carried off on the roof of a house, which was seen to break in pieces, when the strugglers for life immediately sank. Two 'or Mr. Fagot's children, however, he having seven, were saved.

Mr. McCarthy, of the firm of B. A. Soulie, Conti street, had a narrow escape. He floated on the roof of a house for eight hours, during the night, and managed, by great presence of mind, to save himself.

He lost his negro servant boy, who could not withstand the fearful flood. We saw Mr. McCarthy to day, who, though much prostrated by his efforts in withstanding the watery enemy, still gave us the 'particulars, an we now detail. We have also learned of a family, composed of nine persons, who have been all drowned. We are also informed that Mr.

J. Curiel, grocer, Conti street, has been lost. Up the river, near Algiers, the turbulence of "the Father of Waters" was perfectly grand to behold. Banks became braes often, and some of the small craft moored along aide the wharves, bid adieu to their ca bles, and danced on the wave-tops like young kids on Switzerland crags. The steamer Belle Gates was earried from her moorings, at Algiers, and ne'er flirted a belle like she, down the river.

However, she found a haven, and is bat very slightly damaged. On Lake Pontebartrain, every craft if the captain was insane, the crew intoxicated and vessel! without rudder or compass. Confusion worse founded was the order of things generally. At Mile Old Boreas was extremely rude, for he not only stripped the wharves naked, bat he actually exposed bed of the railroad most unhandsomely. The and their uncountable wood-works were driven high and dry; bath houses were swimming on their en hook, and that a very slender one; the railroad had its sleepers aroused, its Trails perfectly formed into P's and Q's, neither of which rode B.

seemed to mind. Bridges became sinka, and wings of dwellings became left, and left ones right in a molting condition, and their flying turned into flosting ones. The damage in this sectio. that of the railroad included, can not be repaired short of $4500. On the evening of Saturday, in the town of Mite burg, it was some what amusing and somewhat to behold the consternation of the people their houses were flooded.

Young husbanda took all Shah worldly goods and chattels on their backs and waded off. One instance, that of a German whe plays a big drum in a local band for a livelihood, end supports an embonpoint wite by way of joy, allied out with his Sarah on his shoulders, and his big drume slung before him, and beat towards the dry gronnd in good style. Others waded in a la stilts, and la skiffs. One young lady was heard erying spare my bonnet ere it sinks," and when told of its sinking, she sank into a fit or a faint -or a feint of both. The trees in front of Boudro's and the Washington Hotels were ruthlessly torn from their roota, and logo like electrified shaving brushes, on the gravel walk.

The bank for the shell road from Milneberg to Bayou St. John was burst by the draught of water eD It, and red were so plentiful, and monopolized region s0, that human beings alone became crouton The steamboat Alabama did not go out until yester day, instead of Saturday evening, and as we got to the Lake at o'clock yesterday, the Florida had just an rived, she being slightly disabled in her rudder, and having to lie over all of Saturday night. She, bowers started for Mobile yesterday evening at 8 o'clock, good trim. The steamer Arrow tried to go off on Saturday even ing for Mandeville, but couldn't come it, and put The yacht Ripple was sunk at the pickets off Bayou St. John.

All along the Lake-shore was done. Dan Hickok'8 withstood the blast like be him self only can stand any blast-by a counter one. Frank Rhodes's pistol gallery was washed with a man in it, (the target,) and the last heard of de WAR the self-cocking pistol going off. The tow-boat J. L.

Day, bringing up the schoeuert. F. Keeling, Was blown ashore yesterday morning, down the river, near the Quarantine Station. The tow -boat Ocean, with the ships Omar Patha and Arno, were aground above the forts. A schooner 1 this point is also a complete wreck.

Houses and trees were olso blown down on the region. The keeper of the Fort at Proctorvile bay also beca drowned. His wife and two children were found Costing on a raft, and were drifted ashore. Her heR a wan found broken and her right one surrounding, with mother's grasp, the two children. Mr.

Superintendent of the Mexican Gulf Railroad picked eve op in a prostrated condition, and took her to a place el rest, where restoratives were given ber and her chad ren, and when she told, in wild accents of grief, the loss of her husband. The Mexican Gulf Railroad, for four miles toward Proctorville, is submerged to a depth of at least six feet, and consequently those persons who left this elty for Lake Borgne and Proctorville, have been anved from the fury of the storm, those points being, at that time, unapproachable. P.S. We have a series of reports that require mining ere publication, and therefore can not give dim currency until we find them true. We shall give for ther particulars in to-morrow's Delta.
