Additional Damage done by the Terrible Storm of Monday.

A house in Duane street, near the Shakspeare was struck, and two persons stunned. One early recovered, the other was so palsied in one arm and side that it was several hours before he recovered the use of his limbs.

The mast of the schooner Fairfield, lying at No. 6, East River, was struck with lightning. The fluid descended the mainmast to the pump, shivering the mast badly. The captain and two of the crew were stunned, but not seriously injured.

The schooner Actress, from St. John's, N. B., bound to Philadelphia, put into this port in distress, having lost fore and main mast, jib boom, etc., in the storm.

The foremast of the ship Orpheus, in Peck slip, was struck.

In Brooklyn the storm appears to have done more injury than in this city. In addition to the following we learn that a man was killed on the Heights.

A liberty pole 220 feet high, the largest in the city, erected a short time since at an expense of $600, in the second ward, on the corner of York and Pearl streets, was struck by lightning. and so badly shivered as to compel the authorities of the city to order it cut down. The lightning then passed into the cellar of the building at the corner adjoining the liberty pole, and escaped through the yard, destroying every thing in its course. A man was in the act of hitching a horse to the pole when it was struck. The horse was thrown down but not killed, the man escaped uninjured. The three story brick house of Mr. J. Lambertson, 125 Sands street, was struck by lightning. the chimney was knocked off, and in its fall passed through the roof of the adjoining house, lodging on the kitchen floor. The fluid passed down the chimney, and seems to have separated, a portion going through the wall of the house in the rear near the roof, and down the tin leader to the cistern, tearing the cornices and washboards from the piazza in its course, and finally lodging in the cistern, the pump of which was blown to pieces. Another portion escaped through a pane of glass in the front of the house, after tearing off the casings of the window. And a third part went through several of the rooms, down the bell wire and off at the bell-pull, tearing a part of the moulding from the door frame. A child of Mr Lambertson was standing against the door frame, and the fluid struck him on the foot, burnt the shoe from his foot, injuring him slightly. The house of Mr Collier, in Jackson street, was also struck. The fluid passed down the chimney, shattered the room through which it passed, and a child three years of age, belonging to a Mrs. Grady, who occupied the basement, was instantly killed. Three boys, who had run for a shelter from the storm under a tree in Hicks street, were knocked down and injured, one of whom we were told died a short time afterwards.

Several horses were thrown down in the street, the drivers escaping uninjured. A butcher in the Eastern Market, not far from one of the injured houses, while in the act of cutting a steak, received so severe a shock in his legs as to fancy some struck him with a stick. A woman was also struck senseless in Front street, but afterwards recovered.

A number of other houses were struck, and persons injured, the facts of which we have not been able to learn.

A sloop lying near Hell Gate, in the East river, called the "General Harrison," was struck with lightning, and also a British Whig flag staff, or "cider pole," with the emblematic cider barrel on top, was completely demolished-so that cider's spilt.

Two of the passengers on board of the steamer Raritan, were so alarmed at the lightning, that they jumped over board; neither was drowned.

A large barn filled with last year's produce, at New Brunswick, was struck by lightning, and the whole was consumed.

The celebrated Arab ship, belonging to the Imaum of Muscat, was struck by lightning, and two of the sailors were injured.
