Last Tuesday morning, came on a violent gale of wind from the south, which, at about one o'clock, P. M. veered to S. S. W. and blew a perfect hurricane. Several vessels were driven ashore, and very material damage is done to the long wharf. Capt. Leake, in a brig, in 17 days from Turk's Island, fortunately arrived before the gale came on. We expect to hear of much damage done at sea, and in the harbours on our coast. A brig was drove ashore last Tuesday on Milford beach; we have not heard where she belongs.
