DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.
In a letter dated Constantinople, Jun. 7, we find the following :—” On the 3rd of this month we had here one of those dreadful hurricanes which are only to be found in the annals of the West Indies. At half-past ten at night a heavy shower of rain fell, which was rapidly succeeded by a snow storm ; at about midnight it blew a thorough hurricane, which lasted till day- break. Never in the memory of man had such a storm burst over Constantinople. Trees were unrooted, houses unroofed, chimneys hurled to the ground. Several minarets have lost their kullafs, or extinguishers, and the steeple of the Galata Tower was blown clean off. The old bridge was broken to pieces, and, floating about the port, caused considerable damage to the shipping. The losses have been calculated at upwards of ten millions of piasters. Among other losses an Eng- lish brig, name unknown, was lost at the mouth of the Black Sea.”
