Some correct idea may be formed of the injuries sustained in the Charaib Country only, when we state that by an estimate made for one estate there, it will require 150,000 feet of lumber alone to replace what has been destroyed. Many estates, we fear, will never resume their pristine grandeur.

My Lord,

St. Lucia, August 18, 1831.

I BEG leave to acquaint your Lordship that, on the morning of the 11th instant, this island experienced a most violent hurricane, which has occasioned more damage and loss than the hurricane of the year 1817. I am happy to add that few lives have been lost, but the plantations to the windward and southward side of the island

have suffered severely. I inclose, for your Lordship's information, the St. Lucia Gazette, which gives a more full and detailed account than the limits of a letter will admit of. The losses sustained by the colony may, as far as I can judge at present, be estimated at from 25,000l. to 30,000l. sterling, but the returns from the different quarters of the island have not yet been received.

From the St. Lucia Gazette of August 17, 1831.

It becomes our painful and distressing duty to announce that this island has just experienced one of those awful visitations to which the West India Islands are occasionally, though not frequently, subjected; and which, when they do occur, leave awful proofs of their destructive and resistless power. On the night of Wednesday last, the sky had a very heavy lowering appearance, which was scarcely regarded, but early on Thursday morning, the wind North, it commenced to blow very fresh, which continued increasing, accompanied with some rain, until five o'clock, when its augmenting violence excited a strong sensation of alarm, the wind varying a little to the East, which was generally considered favourable; but by seven or half-past seven o'clock, no doubt was entertained but that we were doomed to encounter all the dangers of a hurricane; which heretofore was considered as only to occur with a westerly wind. At a little after eight o'clock our harbour presented a most awful appearance, the sea running mountains high, and breaking with appalling violence on the South side; the vessels all endeavouring to secure a safe anchorage, while many of them, totally ungovernable, led to the natural conclusion that they at least, if not the hands on board, were doomed to destruction; while through the town, tiles, shingles, arms of trees, fragments of houses, and other dangerous missiles were flying rapidly about, and retained almost uninterrupted possession of the streets. In this awful situation the town was situated from about half-past eight o'clock until twelve, when the wind, which was not one continued gale, but frequent and violent gusts, became more moderate, and though after that hour there were a few violent squalls, before two o'clock it was compara
