 f'.i ft Report. The wind has blown 2; days froni the t„iler!y points The charafteriftic of 

 tfic month is that ot fog^y ; ciglit or nine days fog; have very much prevailed, but that on 

 the 5th was the moft remarkable, and hai been thus dcl'cribed by a witncfs of w hat happened

 thtnifeives in danger of being run over, pvefentei altogether a terrific fcenc. It continued 

 i'jr about two hours."
