NEW YORK On Thursday night a storm of rain and wind raged fearfully over thiscity. It commenced at sunset, and in- creased in violence till it reached its climax at sunrise, when it gradually moderated. The rain never ceased Lo descend in torrents, and the wind, which blew from the east, howled all night long, prostrating the trees, young and old, and carrying away flying signs, awn- ings, and even the iron awning posts, which were snap- ped like reeds, in Broadway and other streets exposed to the fury ef the tempest. Washington Parade Ground presented, yesterday morning, a scene of desolation; smost of the trees being prostrated. Tompkins Square Suffered equally, and the Park was strewed all over with branches, and two or three of the large trees were blown down. One, right opposite the City Hall, having the notice upon it, “Keep off the grass,” had the mai ranch torn away. St. Johns square, Union square and the Battery were shorn of come of their choicest Deauties; and these grounds, and every street in the city that conteined trees, were covered with boaghs and leaves. A number of chimney tops were car- Pied off; and the cellars, in all the low streets, were Tnundated with water. The city generally exhibited all the appearance of the ravages of “an angel of death on the blast.”” Many persons who happened to be trom their houses at 11 o'clock on Thursday night, were detained till- morning, vainly waiting for the abating of the storm and the restoration of light. The lamps were all out, “it being one of those nights that the Almanac adver- tised the moon was shining, but horribly lied, the darkness being so great that a person could not see three inches before him, while slates and bricks were flying in all directions. The consequence was that most of those absent from their residences preferred re- maining away from their families, at least till day-light, rather than encounter “the pelting of the pitiless storm.” Several of those who ventured out went astray, and often plunged into water up to their knees. The gutters were overflowed, and the streets were in a sea: ‘The vacant lots became £0 many ponds. Several houses ‘have been unroofed, and skylights blown away. Thetin soofs of two houses in Third avenue were rolled up like ‘a scroll, and blown toa distance. One of the walls ofa new brick, three story building in Fourth avenug, near ‘Thirty First street was prostrated, also a stable in the Bame avenue at the corner of Seventeenth street. Two or three half finished brick buildings were thrown down ‘in Second avenve, near Twenty-Eight street, and ano- ‘ther opposite the Harlem Railroad engine house in ‘Thirty-Second street. The exposed open streets up town were swept, as ‘with the besom of destruction. The top of the chimney of the house on the eorner of Pearl and Moore streets, ‘was blown down on Friday morning, upen the walk ; and another in Centre street, near Broome. The awnings in the Bowery, from one end to the other, were torn to shreds. In front of No. 224, one of the large wooden ‘posts, 8 inches in diameter, was broken down. In Broad- ‘way, opposite 589 and 51, a very large awning was car- vied away, with the posts.

Onthe day appointed Parliament met, The most important question which presented Itself to the sideration of the House of Commons. was that Tespeet- ing the finances of the country. Previous to the rogation, Sir Robert Poel had stated that. the de ciency in the revenue, as compared with the expendi- ture, excerded two millions and a half, ad his do- cided opinion ax to the absolute necessity of adopting some measure by which this deficiency should be sap- lied, and the income of the country placed on such a ting ne would, under existing circ: Dees, it against future deficiencies. .

During the last few days, fresh orders have been given. and another large draft has been made upon the population, for soldiers. Im this impressment there has been more disregard of law, and more outrage om humanity, than in any previous act. Amongthosetakem are several merchants, and a large number of clerks, Of the former, some are consignees.and engaged in im- porting and exporting; and among the latter, is the head clerk of the house of Tweedy & Co., and others of them are the first clerks, and connected with the first families of the city. The only redeeming thing about this affair, was the fact that they were incorporated with the police,and as they supposed,would be left here, and hence could look after their busines: somewhat, and prevent their property from being entirely sacri- ficed. But, as will appear, all these were Haytion hepes. Besides there impressments, tl were me- chanics, apprentices, delicate boys of 15 and 16 ‘years ofage, and all sorts of persons.
