—^ THE STORxM . IRELAND . Dcblix—Mox . Jaj ? . " . —The metropelis was hut night \ isited by a hurricane such a * the oldest inhabitants cannot remember—ULbounded in its fury , and nnliruited in iu extent . Accounts are pouring m-upon xxi from all quarters of its terrific and irrepara . iite effects . The tempest commenced at ten o ' clock , from the SSE . and varied in the course of the ui ^ ht Irequeutl y from that toSSW . ; and towards six in the morning its fury in some degree abated . Dublin in many places presents the appearance of a " sacked city . " Houses burning—others unroofed , a < if by storm of shot and shell—a few levelled with the ground , with all their faraiture within—while ihe Tattling of engines , cries of firemen , and labour * of the military , presented the very aspect of mimjjry of real war .
Tm- Fire at the BrrinaDi . —Many and vinous are the rnmoprs circulated throutfhouttbe city as to the cause which led to the burning of this house of Tvorship . Certain it is that , were it not ( or the awful and ever to be remembered hurricane , tbe fire would vr-ry soon have been extinguished , or , at all event * , very little of the serious consequences , which every one must deplore , would have occurred . On Saturday evening , about half-past ten o ' clock , a fire was discovered in the building , but was apparently wry soon got under , and everything remained in comnararive security—indeed , so much so , that the cungrpgation assembled on Sunday eveuiug , as usual , to assist at the religious ceremonies usnally performed . About half-past * ight , or a little Wiore
^ nine o ' clock , sparks were seen coming out of the building , and the storm was so terrific at the time that what could only be , on another occasion , deemed trivial soon reread into a mos * awful conflagration . Nothing could exceed the awful , the horrible sublimity of the scene . In afewmoments theRurroundmg neighbourhood seemed in one vivid blaze oflight and coupling with this the bowling of tbe fe » mp > st , the continued whirlpool of slates and broken gla «« , which were hurled through the air like so much sand—the cries of tho ^ who were obliged to abandon their dwellings , and seek refuge even in the stormthe ringing of bells , and the rattling of creeks—all seemed to
denote a citv in a state of siege , the inhabitauts of which had given themselves up to tbe most wretched despair . About half-past lOo ' clock the Lord MHYoraudtheHighSheriff ^ hrrivedonthespo ^ whe ., BaS * T " ^ dy dispatched to l-Und . bridpe 2 . 7 K ' k VSW ° 7 of artillery , with dinctioos SdnS % r briD * ^ tltem » few pieces of nS ^ % >?" ¦ ^ il ihoold . beseemed c ^ uTnfn ^ >* . l ! lU «' fcnowii «» on arrived , an-. er ideut ^ d ™ ° i t ier , buildiug * , ( for that on nre wa > endeuUy doomed to destruction ) but in vain The cS ^ i T CD lr ° *• d'ff ^^ nrance companies , made their app « , m ,, ce , but all their efforts prowl toeiea , for ladireciiJg the tubes i

order to extaBgnuihtbe flame *} nch wai Uw bei f ht to which the hurricane had fcriiiea , taat the water was driven aad scattered is the air mixiDg in tbe torrenta of rain which then pound down with , unceasing violwiee . It was then suggested , that , in order to insure the safety of tbe dwelling-nous attach *! to the church , as well as the other houses in the street , the pieces of urdnano * might be directed against the smoking rains ; but , M we understood , the officer comtosndtng the party felt unwilling to incnr so heavy a renpoosibilUy wiimout an order from Town Major White , or from some person connected with the Government ; aud dis ^ patches were accordingly sent to the Royal Barracks and Dublin Castle , for that purpose . Subsequent events , however , proved that such a proceeding , even if adopted , would be totally , useless for the house
had already caught the names , and was shortly after enveloped in a cloud of tire . Never was such a scene witnessed as at this moment . Every attempt was made to preserve the furniture fiom the destruction which threatened it , and tor this purpose a number of persons were employed to bring it out of the house , not such was the fury of the tempest , that chairs , tables , looking-glasses , everything , together with those who conveyed them , were driven along Eke so much chaff—so awful , so supernatural , in fact , was the strength of the boisterous element . Again , in the upper parts of tiie house , which was composed chiefly of bed-rooms , it was found
necessary , xn consequence of the spread of the fires , to fling the beds , pallasses , pillow-cases , and other bed-room articles , out of the windows into the street : but no sooner was it done than they were carried on high , and whirled about in the storm like so many fenthers , and many earned . off , none knew whither . About one o ' clock , a house , nearly facing tbe Bethesda , came down with a horrible crash , filling the air with broken plauks , bricks , and dust of every description ; and , when to this is added the livid flame ascending on high , the crackling of glass , the rustling of slates , the cries of the spectator * , the reader will admit it was a sceun more easily conceived than described . Own * to the continued
exertions , in spite of every difficulty , of the engines and tbe artillery , the fire towards morning was considerably got under , but not without leaving the church and the dwelling-house of the Rev . Mr . Gregg a total ruin . A woman and child were killed in New-row , on the Poddle , by tbe falling of cliiruiieyn . The uplendid avenue of elms in the Pheenix Park are nearly all levelled to the ground , together with a quantity of the ornamental timber and evergreen * of the Viceregal , Chief , and Under Secretary ' s Lodges . Upwards of one hundred men were employed cross-cutting the fallen timber , to make the read passable .
Melancholy Loss of Life . —One of the moat lamentable occurrences of the night was the falling in of the chimney of Mr . Collins ' * hnu * e , iu Sydneyavenue , near tbe railroad , canning the immediate death of two of Mr . ColliusV servant * , one a female domestic , and tbe other a young man of the most sober and industrious habits , and tbe most excellent general character . So dreadful a calamity Imn produced the greatest affliction in the tamily , but we have not heard that auy other person iu the house
was hurt . The Dublin paper * , after enumerating a great number of caraaltiesot a like nature , stHte that there is scarcely a street , nay . scarcely a house , which does not bear the impress of this dreadful calamity . The country around na . « equally suffered . The dirw disasters of the sea remain as yet untold ; bnt that they have been grievous we most expect to hear . Tw » of the Royal Artillery were conveyed to Richmond Hospital in a state of insensibility , from injuries T ^ cnved at the Betiienda .
Perhaps no part of the metropolis or its vicinity has suffered more from the hurricane of last ni ^ ht than the Royal Hospital . Commencing with the bend at the Military-road , almost every tree is levelled to tbe ground ; and here the sentinel had a narrow escape , though warned of , and therefore , prepared for , the approaching dnnger , by a gentleman { la&ring about eleven o ' clock . He had scarcely time to quit his sentry-box before it was blown frt > in its stand , and scattered into atoms . The beautiful avenue which led to the Old House , " no longer exi * t « . The magnificent back avenue of elms which terminated at Kumainbatn , i ? almost totally destroyed . Sad , indeed , i * the scene of devastation which this ancient institatiou present * . The
whirlwind of desolation hat spared neither building , tree , nor shrub ; and few of the present generation will live to see the damages of this fatal ui ^ ht rep aired , or the umbrageous grandeur of its once glonou * avenues restsrtta . Iu the Beighbourhood of Rathfarnham the scene of devastation which presented itself this morning baffU * description . Marley , the * eat of Charles 1 ) . Latouche , Esq ., sufficed dreadfully ; many ol the finest trees are prostrate , aud the wall near tbe Grange is levelled . Holly Park , the seat of Mr . Foot , ha * gnHered severely ; and in the n < -i * hbourbood of Still . > rfan , Mouutanvil , and Roebuck , the
roads are . totally impassable for carriages . The same may be snid of Donnybrook , Upper Leesonxtreet , < fcc . It is even with difficulty that foot passengers can make any progress ; ib tact , whichever way one tarns ruin and devastation is to be met with . It will be seen from what follows that th « ravages of the storm were not confined f > Dubliu and it * vicinity . . ; Three o'lMk . —Vft regret to Kay that a beavy snow-storm has just commenced , and that the wind is blowing almost as fiercely as it was at any pt-riod of the night . The worst consequences are to be apprehended shouM the gale couiujqp , a » there i > scarcely a boom in tbe city or neighbourhood ihe roofs ol which have not been more or less injured .
( From the Belfast Ntirs-LeUer . ) On Sunday night la » t , and during the greater part of Monday rooming , this town and iu neighbourhood-were visited by one of the most tremendonx hurricane * that have oTer occurred within th « recollection of the oldest inhabitants . The beginning of the night was comparatively calm , a considerable fall of snow having taken place the day betore , but about eleven o ' clock a violent westerly wiud began to . blow , which , in the course of an " hour or two , increwdloa complete tornado , sweeping everything before it with destructive impetuosity . Chimneys were blown down—honses uuroofed , walls Ujd prostrate , trees torn up by the roots , and confernation and alarm universally prevailed . In many
partfl of the town the houses rocked as if shaken by an earthquake , to such an alarming degree as To compel the iumatcs to abandon them , aud seek shelter in places of greater security . Iu the moming , the streets were covere 1 , and in many instance entirely choked up with ruins , so a * to be niwly impassable , and the scene of desolation which prexeated itself was traly frightful . The chimney of the flax-mill belonging to the Messrs . Mulholland , of York-streut , was blown to the ground . It was 180 feet ia height , and iU fair destroyed a considerable part of the building attached to the mill . A store , thirty or forty leet in height , connected with the saints premises , wax quite levelled to tbe ground . At Gravmount . near
Whitehouse , one half of the chimney of Gray ' * mill was prostrated b y the storm , but we have n « t heard that any other important damage wag sustained . One of the chimneys belonging to Brookfield distillery was thrown down , as were also the chimneys attached to the mill * of Mr . Carter and Mr .-sfn . Currell and Howie , on the Falls road . An extensive mill for the spinning of linen yarn , and also manufacture of linen cloth by maehine-y , which had been lately erected in the same neighbeurhood by Messrs . Ledwich and Dickson , was totally destroyed , and the watchman killed amidst the ruins of the building . The barracks , we understand , have been severely damaged , and the Messrs . Lepper ' s extensive factory has also sustained serious miurv .
In Lodge-lane , a man was killed in bed by the falling in of the roof of his house , and his wife , who was in bed at the same time , wag so injured that she had to be conveywl to the biutuital , . wlmre « be now lies in considerable danger . ~ Jn various parts of the town the roofs of houses were destroyed , and the lives of the inmates endangered by the tailing in of stacks of chimneys . In York-street the roofs of two h iuses are thus perforated , and in College-. » quare very serious dauiagibas resulted from the occurrence of liiinilar accident * . In the neighbourhood of Victoria-place , the gable wa « completely blown out of a hou ? . e , leaving its interior quite exposed , but happily no lives were lost . The brick wall at M "Clean ' s fie ld * , a similar wall near the
Covenanting Meeting-house , another at the head of Queenstreet , and a fourth in Donegall street , have been levelled to the ground ; but it were etidlens to particularize , as , in fact , there is scarcely a wall , of the description referred to , that has been left a landing . In the conntry districts surrounding Belfast , tbe destruction of trews even ol the oldest growth , ha * been immense , and furnishes impressive evidence as to the violence of the storm . VVe understand that at Belvoir , the residence of Sir R . Buteson , Baronet , MP ., much damage has been done , and even the castle itself has suffered . At Annadale , the oldest oaks were torn up by the roots , and strewed about , and indeed there is scarcely a gentlemau s neat , within many miles respecting which we have not received similar disastrous intelligence .
In oar lint of casualties in Belfast , we forgot to meution that about half-past four o ' clock ye .-terday morning , a chimney in the rear of Mr . Robson ' s china warehouse , in High-street , fell in with a sremendous crash , carrying with it two ro- ^ ms in which were large quantities of gilt and plain china , fine earthenware , « fec all of which were totally Jestroyed . No lives , however , were lo > t , but the damage ia very considerable , amounting to about £ 200 . Lougrreji , Jan . 8 . —There was awful destruction from fire and storm in this town on Sunday tiigJt , and upwards of filty houses burned and thirty bluwn down . It was-also mos ) destructive at Daly-

stowa and Marb leHill , and Donsandle alsottitfmeA much . The trees are all across the road . At Mr . Smith ' s , Oakwood , near Suirone , the property of th&tgentleman , the people are cutting hi * oak and deal To defiance of the law , and we are afraid to interfere with them . There is more than £ 200 worth carried away and sold openly in Roscrea , Nenagh , and Templemore . It shocks any man in a civilized country to see such conduct . . . Iu the provinces of Ireland , the destruction of property and loss of life , are of the most appalling description . The poor appear to have been the greatest sufferers , because the less able to bear the loss of the little property they possessed . Letters from Molliugar , Navan , Slane , Newry , Mayo , ( fee , are all corroborative of the severity of the storm and its disastrous consequences .
H 0 LL . —The effects of the late storm art still distinctly visible . The loss of property on the river anc in tbe roads was considerable , but still much less than might hare been anticipated . During the night of Sunday , several of the gas lights in the streets were extinguished , and the large lamp He * « r . the Minerva Hotel was blown away . Kingston College was nearly unroofed , the lead rolling up like paper . The house of Mrs . Riddle , in Prospectstrwt , was much damaged , and at the S pring Head , four large trees were torn up by the . roots , and several
tons of earth removed . Dryppol came in for its full « hare of destruction , many houses sustained serious injury ; slates were blown from the Church , and at the Garrison the glass and frame work of one of the large windows belonging to the Armoury were driven in . The roots of the officers' quarters , tbe Barracks , and the National School , suffered much . Tbe roads were obstructed by trees which had been blown down or rooted up , so that tbe mail was much impeded in its progress . No estimate can an yet be formed as to th « probable amount of the damage done .

prepared with its quota of the National Rent and Delegate . -Fund ; -for , without " the sinews of war , " the victory cannot be obtained . No immense sum of money is required at your hands—a small donation from each of you will be sufficient for tbe purpose ; and , should this part of your duty be neglected , you will prove to tha enemies of Universal Suffrage that you neither wish fer , nor deserve the fruition » f your right-. Let every Unionist become a collector , and the required sums will be soon and easily
obtained . We also wish to inform you that the men of Birmingham and Scotland are still with us . If any man , or number of men , were really intent on creating a division in our ranks , they have failed in tbe accomplishment of their object , inasmuch as we are now more firmly united than ever . The Council at Birmingham have been waited upon , by a delegation appointed in Manchester , and , upon explanation , it has been found that merely a shade of difference in opinion upon tbe fundamental principles exists between them and the people , and those of them elected to the Convention have rexolved to go , and do their duty to the people , by whom they have been appointed , and to their country in general .
From the spirit you have evinced in this great and good cause , we cannot doubt of yon doing your part of the duty—the Convention will do theirs ; and we cannot but auticipate the speedy consummation of your desire—the complete overthrow of despotism , and tbe firm establishment of the principles which the country generally has pledged itself to support .

PAYMENT IN FULL . COMPLETE ANNIHILATION OF THE BREWSTER GANG AND EDINBURGH RESOLUTIONS . ( From our Scottish Correspondent , Glasgow , 15 th of I January , 1832 . ) On Monday evening , the 14 th instant , this longexpected ana anxionsly-lookedfor trial of strength took place in Paisley ; and although the name of John ITaylor was mixed tip with the question , it was quite well understood that the motion of the Renfrewnnire Union of awsntof confidence in him a * delegate , was solely on the ground of his opposition to the Edinburgh resolutions ; and it was £ ecfina&these resolutions had been lost at the county meeting that they were brought forward in the Union , to afford Brewster and Henderson a decent excuse for their continued attempt * to create
disnuion in the Radical camp . As Henderson is chairman of the Union , Englesim , secretary , and both tooln of Brewster , and personal enemies of the Doctor ; and as' the majority of the council are guided by them , it wns considered next to impossible that Brewster should suffer a defeat ; but to make everything sure , an active canvass was carried on by his friends in Paisley in his favour . Tickets were presented to those who could not or would not pay ; and the handbills , announcing the meeting , were distributed in large quantities in the district of Charleston , which was known to be entirely at the command of Brewster , with one or two grtl ' ant exceptions , while scarcely one was to be > e n anywhere else . Longr before eight o ' clock , the
Old Law , Church became crowded . Henderson tthik his seat as chairman , supported by Gumming and Englesim , the accusers of Doctor Taylor . Brewster was behind them directing their proceedings ; and all appeared to go well with them . The motion was made and seconded;— "Inconsequence of John Tnylor ' s exoressions in favour of p hysical force , the Union nave no confidence in him , and refuse him their support as a delegate . " This motion was entrusted to'a man named Nimtno , who had been one of Taylor ' s sternest supporters at the couuty meeting , but who had been won over to oppose him . Unfortunately , he had not his lesson
quite perfect , and made some ludicrous mistakes in rending the wrong papers with which Brewster was indu ^ ridusly supplying him . Dr . Taylor , who had taken his i > eat in the body of the church a little to the left of the pulpit , disproved all their assertionsupset all their argument—protested against the chairman as a partial and interested partizan , who had already prejudged the question , as he proved by reading his speech at the previous meeting , and proving it false from beginning to end . He then waived the objection , threw himself upon the ' meeting , took a rapid survey of the whole matter at issue , and concluded a most masterly * address amid deafening cheers .
This reception seemed to stagger the meeting , and Eaglesim was put forward to make a diversion by an attack on the Doctor ' s private character , retailing a conversation said to be held with him , but which was proved te haVe been held with another person altogether . Eaglesim was hissed down amid the withering scorn of the meeting , and firewater rose—and now was expected the tug of war . I have heard it « aid that he never was so unfortunate in his address . Certain it i * that whether he felt himself overmatched by the Doctor , whom he had now met forthe first timewhether he
, wag disappointed at not being able to ruffle his temper , or that tbe tone of the meeting seemed hardly to histagte , I know not , but his speech was without effect ; he hinted that men who went about the coantry , with no visible means of maintaining themselves , must be . « p ies ; bis remarks were levelled at O . Connor and Taylor , whom he afterwards accused of dishonesty , but afterwards fully retracted the accusation , and said that he did not mean to use the word * he had done , for they did not convey his sentiments , and he had no charge to make against them .
The Chairman then got others whom be had in keeping , to address the meeting , in abuse of the Doctor , and insisted on being heard for haif-anhonr whether they spoke to the point or not ; and when lie saw that the general feeling of the meeting was hostile to his vjiews , he determined , if possible , to weary it out by endless quibbles and have au adionnHnent . The Radicals , however , behaved nobly , and , in spite of numberless provocations all kept quiet . One honest fello w from Charleston gave Br ew » ter a smart handling , and a Mr . Pateraon kept the Chairman in order ; indeed , to him i * , in a great measure , due the orderly behaviour of the vast multitude , whom it was evident the Chairman wished to throw into confusion , in order to have an excuse for an adjournment . In the course of his answer to the Charleston Patriot , Brewster said that Feargus O'Connor had escaped from . Glasgow ,

* , * « . ftu » v ouunor aanng to meet Brewster , the idea is preposterous : so far as I c » n see itTit u not daring . but patience which is required . ( Loud laughter and cheent . ) V v . Mr . NiHMO then again attempted to address the meeting , amidst great uproar . Not hating a speech of his owu , he took a part of the Doctor ' s , and attempted to palm it on the meeting aa original , but he was detected and hissed down . The Chairman then put the motion : a number of hands were held up for it in dead silence . The amendment of approval of the election at Thornhill , and full confidence of the Union in John Taylor , was then proposed ; a forest ef hands appeared , amid deafening cheers , which lasted five minutes . You may conceive the astonishment of all present ,
when , after some whispering with Brewster , the Chairman , a bailie and a Quaker , unblushingly asserted that he did not know which had thamajomy . Tremendous execrations met him from all parts , and after some shuffling , be was obliged to confess that Dr . Taylor had it by a large majority , but that , in consequence of the rvdng to cheer , he could not see , and would take the vote again . He then attempted to make a speech in order to lead away the minds of the people , now anxious and tired ; and then , having altered the terms of the motion , ne again put it to the hou . » e . A number held op their hands , thinking it was for Taylor ; but , undeceived by tbe dead silence , immediately took them down , though not before the Chairman had counted them as among his party . The reverse was then put , and earned amid vociferousapplause . the Chairman hein *
obliged to confess that Dr . Taylor had gained the day , and possessed the confidence of the Union . ^ As woa sj the meeting was over , I understand that the Chairman , Br « wst « r , the Secretary , and a number of members of the Council gave in their resignation . Of this I am not sure ; T > nt certain I am that them are plenty of better men to put in their places ., ¦ . Meanwhile , the victory now gained has set the Edinburgh resolutions at rest for ever . The Paisley Radicals are in extacies at the unexpected victory : it has infused new spirit into their ranks , aud where formerl y was nothing but apathy , all is now energy and decision . Undoubtedly Taylor deserves great credit lor his conduct ; but it is equally certain that the glorious result is in a great measure owing to the late visit of O'Connor to Scotland , which ' inspired the true Radicals with courage to fight the good fight .

"Bill Johnson" has published in the Albany Evening Journal a sketch of his life and adventures , from which it appears that he was born in 1782 , brought up as a blacksmith , falsely accused by the British of being the partisan « f the " Yankees , " merely because he had bailed someftof Jhena , and admired their institutions . For doing fo he was imprisoned , and ill-treatment at length canned him to escape and join the Americans . Property to the amount of 30 , 000 dollars belonging to him was cud-Sscated by the English , and what he has since done against them was to avenge this wrong .

Dreadful Murder . —We have seldom been called upon to record a more melancholy case of murder ( perpetrated , we hope , for the sake ' of human nature , under the influence of insanity ) than that which we have this morning to lay before our readers . It is the murder , by stabbing , of a jrirl deaf and dumb , by the hand of her own brother . The supposed murderer , M'Kinnis , and hi » sister Helen , resided alone in the same house , and no person witnessed the bloody deed , so that all that is known of the circumstance comes from the information of the unfortunate man himself . On being examined in the Police-office , he stated somewhat incoherently that he felt unable to support his sister
, and under the apprehension that she might be left to starve , resolved , as a lesser evil , to take away her life by violence , which he did by stabbing her in various parts of the body with a knife . He appeared unsettled , frequently said he loved his sister , did not think she would kave struggled so much , and ones uttered the exclamation , ' O my God , " and almost fell to the ground . He soon recovered , however . ^ His information in reference to the mode by which his sister ' s death was produced , received awful corroboration on the inspection of the body by the police . The poor girl was found lying on the floor , covered witk a mat , with seven or eight wounds , caused by stabbing in various parts of her
body : deep wounds had been inflicted in the neck , throat , and breast , and two gashes in the belly , from which the bowels were protruding , besides several cuts on the legs and thighs . It appears that she had been in bed , wben the dreadful thought of murder entered the head of her maniac brother , for we cannot conceive that the deed was committed in a state of sound mind . That some of the wounds were inflicted while she was in bed is certain , as the blankets in various place were pierced through , as if by a knife , and M'Kinnia ' s own account corroborates the fact . On the assault taking place she seems to have risen from the bed , and attempted to disarm him , for his own band is cut , as if in a struggle to retain the
knife . This dreadful affair appears to have taken place about two o ' clock in the morning . At that hour some of the neighbours heard a female scream ; but imagining that it came from the street , nothing was thought of the matter . On Captain Miller and the police entering ; the house , they were much struck by the ooaduet of a-dog , whit * at first resisted their admission , an * afterwards lay over the corpse of its mistress whining , as in great distress , and refu sing to leave the spot . For some time it prevented an inspection of the body taking place , and had latterly to be removed by force . The knife , with which the deed had been committed was found all bloody on the floor . We have already stated that Helen M'Kinnis was deaf and dumb , and by all accounts , she
was a quiet , inoffensive , and industrious girl , and rather good-looking . Her brother , it is said , was much attached to her , and nothing resembling a quarrel was known to take place betwixt them . The idea of her dying by starvation , which seems to have taken possession of her brother ' s mind , seems sufficient proof that he was labouring under hallucination of intellect , if not in a state of thorough madness . M'Kinnisjis , we believe , about thirty years of age , and has of late been too much given to the use of intoxicating Hquora . His eye is wild and unsettled ; but considering the dreadful circumstances in which he ia placed , his demeanour is , on the whole , calm . His unfortnnate sifter was about twenty-three yeaw of age . —Abridged'from the Glasgow Argus .
