It is to be feared that much mischief has been done by the late strong north winds. The schooner General Campbell, Erman, was lost at Plantain Garden River, but her cargo, consisting of forty puncheons of rum, was fortunately saved. In the mountains of Liguanea, it is said, the coffee trees have suffered very considerably, and many Negro houses have been unroofed.

The mill and still house, and a cane piece of about ten acres, on Llanduy estate in St. David, were consumed by fire early on Sunday morning. This misfortune was occasioned by the strong north wind blowing a spark, out a stoke hole, and lodging it on the top of the mill house, which was thatched.
