The Hillsborough Recorder

New York, October 31.

The Storm, which has been impending over us for several days, burst forth last evening, with great violence. It was very dark, and the rain fell in torrents. The blow was very heavy during the night, and the wind howls loudly, and the rain falls briskly at this hour—4 o'clock. The tides are so high that many of the docks and ships are submerged. The swell was so high this morning that the ferry boats were nearly unmanageable, and it was with difficulty that the North River steamboats could get into the slips.

The wharves are now overflowed, and on the east side the water is nearly up to Water street. At 12 o'clock, in Front Street and Burling Slip, the water was up to the hub of the cartmen's carts. The cellars are nearly all filled—boats are playing in Flymarket street, between South and Front streets. The stores under Flymarket, are covered to the depth of 18 inches. Some thousand rats, driven from the docks, have been killed by the boys and dogs. The steamboat Fulton arrived this morning from New London: she could proceed no farther, in consequence of the gale. We have heard of no serious accident yet. No communications from below this afternoon.

The brig Dromo, outward bound, drifted from her anchorage abreast of Corlears slip, East River, and drove ashore in Buttermilk Channel, near Red Hook: it is supposed she will be got off without material damage.

Our news boat rowed up to the curb stone in front of 61 White Hall.
