Statistics of a Storm.—Although it is well known that storms are as a rule destructive, yet few poisons realize the amount of damage which is sometimes effected by a really violent storm. A report of the movements and damage done by the great storm which visited Norlh America on the 24th of August last has. snys the Washington correspondent of the Now York Herald, been prepared at the signal office in that city, from data. carefully collected from trustworthy sources. The following is a summing up of the losses caused by this terrible storm :—1,032 vessels, of which 432 were small fishing schooners, are known to have been destroyed, during the 24th and the 25th of August, in the neighborhood of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic shores of Nov* Scotia, Cape Breton, and Newfoundland. In addition to this large number, over 90 vessels were destroyed by the same storm in its course before reaching Nova Scotia, making a grand total of at least 1,122 vessels destroyed in a few days. Two hundred and twenty-three lives are definitely reported as lost, and the most moderate estimate of the numerous cases in which whole crews are stated to have been lost swells this number | to nearly 500 ; while if lo this be added the loss of life on laud and in the earlier history of the cyclone, the grand total amounts to nearly 600 lives. The records also show that about 900 buildings were damaged of totally destroyed by this storm* The fishing interests of the United States and Canada have been seriously crippled by these losses. which have fallen with especial severity upon Gloucester and other New England towns.
