Our Philadelphia Correspondence, Purcapetruta, Sept. 4, 1850. 1 have nothing new to give you respecting the effects of the tornado and the flood. This storm has been no ordinary event to us Quaker Philadel- phians, since it deprived us of gas-light, last eve- ning, over the greater portion of eur wide-spread metropolis. The gas-works being situated at the water's edge of the Schuylkill river, overflowed so bediy that it was fouud impossible to carry on operations. For a shert time at noon, yesterday, the hands attempted to resume operations, but the result of their labors was very trifling; consequently there was no gas-light in the city last night, ex- cept for a very brief space, caused by the gas re- maining in the pipes. There was no moon, either, as it happened, so all our streets were in utter dark- ners until aster wine o'clock, when the watch nea stuck @ candle in each lump, and threw a faint, tlickering light over ‘the dim causeways; but, un- | uf thet ume, U ts presented many amusing scenes.

The lumber, wood, coal, and lime wharves have been swept bare. On the flats, canal boats and masted vessels were lying high and dry.

The canal embank- ments, in many places, are entirely swept away. It is difficult just now to ascertain the full extent of the damage; but the genera} impression, from what we can learn, is, that the canal cannot repaired this season.
