Reports from All Parts of the Country. Disastrous Effects in the City~Basements Flooded and Goods Damaged. The storm which commenced in New York on Fri- day evening, after a brief lull during the night, broke out with great fury early yesterday moraing, and, as if emulating the hurricane that has been recently devastating the West, swept through the city uprooting trees, demolishing unfinished build- ings, wrenching signs from their fastenings, unhing- ing window shutters, toppling over chimneys and doing great damage throughout New York and the | adjacent cities, Every street and park gives some indications of the presence of the storm, the most disastrous effects of which were visible in those districts inundated by the unusually high tide, Most of the cellars on Front and Water streets were dooded, causing great inconvenience to those living in them, and considerable destruction of property, the basements in the lower portion of these streets being mainly filled with heavy and valuable goods. Basement barrooms on West Btreet were deluged, the water in many of them being two and three feet deep, The rising tide penetrated the cellars in the lower part of Cherry street, all of which are occupied by poor families. in many of them the curious speciacie was presented of women standing on chairs and cooking their breakfasts on stoves, the legs of which were immersed in the water, while the children were huddled on the beds to keep out of reach of the inundation. Aiter the storm subsided the tide went down, go that these in- conveniences were only temporary. Steamers coming in during the day reported tt very rough outside. There can be no doubt that the results of the storm at sea will soon come to us in the record of wrecks and terrible digasters, The Sound boats mentioned a very heavy squall just before daylight, lasting nearly an hour, but though coming in aiter time they managed to reach their Wharves in safety. ‘The steamer Continental, of the New Haven line, arrived about four hours behina time. Her baggage room was stove la by a heavy sea and the room flooded. The Storm iu Jersey was particularly severe, several vessels being sunk, trees uprooted, fences destroyed and buildings un- roofed and demolished. In Hudson City, West Ho- boken and Uaion Hill, all of which are iocated on the old Bergen Heights, the storm had a clear sweep. Buildings rocked to and fro almost like a cradle, and some of the occupants were up all night, fearing that these buildings, most of which are frame and mere shells, would be upset. Many claim that it was like an earthquake; among others, Mr. Jobn W. Brice, who resides Palisade ave- nue, Hudson City, states that his dweiting shook from the very foundation. The tide rose full three feet higher than it bas for many years, the water completely inundating the oridges leading to the Hoboken ferry, and the dashing of the waves made it an impossibility for the pedesiriaus to reach the ferry without wading up to their ankies in water, A large fence was blown down near the ferry and a large sign on Newark street. At the foot of Thira street, Hoboken, & coalboat, owned by F, C. Filan, wad aunk, containing some $2,000 worth of coal. 1t will, however, be raised at a cost of about $300. A yacht moored along the dock at the foot of Seventt. street filled aud sunk. At Weehawken a por- tion of the framework of the new coal dock was blown down. At Union Hill @ new stable on the Bull's Ferry road was unroofed and damaged about $500. A large sign on the Union Brewery was blown off, while several fences were upset, In West Hoboken there was terribie destruction among signs and tences, whii¢ the frame of a new building on the west side of the hill was completely demolished. An oid, ricketty edifice, unoccupied for several years, on the Paterson road, was blown down. In Hudson City the storm de- stroyed several beautiful trees, which were up- rooted. Several piles of lumber on Hudson avenue were blown down, the boards being carried a dis- tance of over fifty feet. Im Jersey City there was also considerable damage, especially among the shipping. The Hoboken flats present a very inter- esting Facile being compietely mundated, and many of the occupants can leave their shanties only by means of small boats. “THE STORM ALONS THE HUDSON. ‘The Storm at Newburg—Seven Vossels Sunk— Loss of Lumber—Walls Thrown Down and Buildings Unroofed. NEWBURU, N. Y., Nov. 20, 1869, The hurricane was disastrous in its effects here. It was the heaviest blow experienced in thirty years. ‘The steamer Syracuse, with twenty-eight boats in tow, dragged her anchors, and much of the lumber on the boats was swept overboard. Seven vessels were sunk at the wharf, as follows:—The sloop Quackenbush, of Malden, loaded with stone; yacht James Bigier, owned by Captain Watts; a propeller, owned by Major James A.

Forta- nately, no person was in it atthe time. The patterns ‘were more or less damaged, The total loss is esti- mated at $6,000.

The citizens of Elizabeth, N. J., have been on the tiptoe of expectation for some time in consequence of the announcement that the Hon. Uharles Sumner would delight them with one of bis orations; and they were in a high state of excitement last night when, true to his promise and the huge posters that adorned the walls of the town, the fllastrious Senator appeared on the platform of Library Hall and made bis bow to the fine audience assembicd to greet him. A mild young gentleman occupted a seat beside the Senator, and, when the applause had subsided, got up and jerked outa few words of welcome and compliment and then glided quietly out of sight. Mr. SUMNER said as if in corroboration of what the mild young gentleman had said, that he was Senator from Massachusetts and he was proud of the honor, He had done his duty in the past and hoped to do it in the future so as to continue to deserve the conf- dence of his constituency. Plunging at once into his subject, he said that slavery is dead here, but it is not dead in other lands, but flourishes in many forms in many countries, We have prejudices here, however—the prejudice against the yellow man from. Asia, This caste prejudice was most baneful in its effects, and was @ scandal anda shame to the nation. Caste 1s inconsistent with sublime truth, the unity of the human family and final har- mony on earth. Manhood does not depend upon the color of the skin or hair; white. biack and yel- low are but varieties of the species. Until this becomes generally acknowledged in tae government we will have attained to perfection in our system, In olden times government was but @ device, @ trick, or at best an art, but the time is coming when it will be a sci- ence—the science of justice on earth. But it is a aclence the laws of which must first be understood, and, most important of a'l, we must understand ourselves. I may contribute something, said the lecturer, to help the people to this understand- s S ing, so that they may blast the effrontery ot caste, which is alike -revolting and unjust. This system, born of impossible fable, and existing for centuries, took deep root in India, where, a3 in our republic, it is the corner- stone of slavery. Une hundred and eighty millions of human beings there are subject to its absurd rules, The word “caste” is from the Portuguese costa, and was coined in 1755; but the thing itself 18 ancient. The lecturer then traced caste in ancient and modern history, but dwelt particularly apon its developments in India. The origin of caste im India occurred in this way:—There were four ordera of creatures in the religion of the ancients. The Brabmin was the breath of God; the soldier the arm of God; the bus- band the thigh of God, and the Sudra was born of the foot of God.. The Brahmin was the supreme and the Suara the lowest in the scale of nutman con- sideration, the latter having “no rights that the former was bound to respect. There was no such thing as promotion from one caste to another. The Brahmin and the Sudra kept their Places unchanged through ceyturies in their de- scendants. The Brahmin never paid taxes and nothing he did Was wrong. Outside these classes ‘was yet another, the Partal, or outcast, who was an object of contempt even to the Sudra, So low was the latter that even his shadow falling upon milk rendered it uniit for use by any of tne other castes. ‘Passing from the consideration of the condition of the people of India and thelr customs, the Senator said that here ju the United States the white man 18 relatively to the blacks and yellows a Brahmin, and that Atricans are the Sudra and the Chinese the I’a- riahs of our country. Diving into the question of the origin of species the lecturer scouted the idea that white, black, yellow or red men were of dif- ferent races. ‘The claim that this was a “white man’s government’? was preposterous in the lignt of the Deciaration of Independence. The very assump- ton opens Up a question Of surpassing Interest in sct- ence, religion und in governmert. Mr. Sumner has quoted from the Old and New Testament in proof of IMs assertion that men, no matter of what color, are of the same human family, and have the same rights in the brotherhood of man. He also quoted from Alexander von Humboldt in proof that science supported religion in this. Kiaiculing the idea that because a people developed characteristics of ® savage nature thut they were Incapable of becoming civilized, the Senator gave a graphto account of the condition of the inhabitants of Great Britain at the ume of the Conquest, showing that they were in a worse condi- tion than are the people of Africa to-day. Dwelling upon the facts he produced in evidence, he spoke Ol the civilized condition o1 England to-day in proof of the correctness of his theory. In concluding Mis instructive and eloquent lec- ture the Senator said the Chinese question must be met. Attention was once attracted to the Airican; now it is the Chinese, who demand protection. Nothing can be settled which ts not right, and this question can onlye settled in harmony with the principles of our fathers and in conformity with right and justice. The Ohinese must have equal copartnership, for justice is the best policy and justice is the best practice. Senator Sumner was warmly applauded through. Qut tig loctusg and at the close. WASHINGTON.

He had along interview with the President on some unportant business, the nature of which neither he nor the White House people wul disclose, This much, however, t am authorized to say, hamely, that during next week some very im- portant developments wili occur. What these will be must remain hidden in the womb of the future till the proper moment arrives, The news hunters are in a regular fever to find out and the sen- sationalists are busy testing their inventive powers, Some declare Plerrepont’s sudden trip here and equally sudden departure—for he left again for New York to-night—are in relation to certain changes and frauds in the New York federal offices; but I have the best reason to know that there 18 nothing in that explanation. Others hold that it is all about Cuba, that the administration is resolved ‘to act at last, though in favor of which side does not appear, and tnat Pierrepont has been instracted in advance how to act. One thing is certain, and that is that Pierrepont does not deny that Cuba has something to do with his visit here, Indian Fighting on the Texan Border. Information has been received here from San An- tonio, Te..43, November 10, stating that Captain Trainer had arrived from the frontier and reports that General Mackenzie sent 200 cavalry, under Major Bacon and Lieutenant Bean, who met, on the Upper Brazos, 400 hostile savages coming down on the frontier from the reserve. After two days’ fight- ing the Indians fled, leaving forty dead and many more wounded, The camp, horses and provisions were all taken, Captain Hooker is badly wounded and eight men hurt, but none killed. A Danish Ship Canal. Among the subjects which willcome up before the Committee of Foreign Affairs gf the House of Representatives during next session will be the memorial of C. Hansen in relation to a ship canal from Brunsbuttel to the Bay of Neustadt, for the purpose of uniting the North and the Baltic seas by @ direct and safe route. The work is under the authority of the government of Denmark and has been commenced, Mr. Hansen 1s a naturalized American citizen,and is in hopes a re quest from tne United States will secure him his riguts from the Danish government, The Ninth Census, The Sub-Committee on the Ninth Census to-day resumed their deliberations on the bill now before them. They expect to finish their labors by the end of next week, and will present their bill to Congress at the earliest moment. It has been discovered that the change in the basis of representation, as affected by the fourteenth amendment and the prospective adoption of the fifteenth amendment, will require material alterations and enlargements in the forms relating to population.

MATINEE CONCERT AT STRINWAY HALL.—There was a full and jashionable attendance, chiefly comprised of ladies, at Mr. J, E, Haner’s first grand matinee, given in Steinway Hall yesterday afternoon. Mr. Haner’s piano performances were highly appre- ciated and several times encored. He played the “Scene Napolitaine," a composition of his own, with excellent spirit, Madame de Lussan, in “L’Arditt Valse,” a pretty, piquant solo, displayed much pll- ancy, clearness and strength of voice. The “Overture to masaniello” on the organ, by Mr. Walter R. Jotn- son, was an agreeable interpolation of the ordinary concert, Rever’s “Cradle Song” for tne violin gave Mr. J. Lewenverg an opportunity to show his mas- tership of that instrument and his effort drew torth a Well deserved encore. Mr. Edward Gilbert as baritone sang ‘Sei Tu.” from Verd}’s “Ballo, ease and feeling, and in the “Grand duo” from yatore,”’ with Madame de Lussan, showed the a ness of his voice and style for the light and quick expression of operatic music, WALLACK’S THEATRE.—The absorbing five act drama of “Henry Dunbar’—Tom Taylor's powerful dramatization of Miss Braddon’s novel of the same name—was produced at this house last night for the first time this season, and was given in a most enjoyable manner, with @ strong cast and appro- priate scenery, This same piece was last brought out at this theatre some two years ago, when it enjoyed long and successful run Since then it has not been played in this city, Last evening it was given, with but few exceptions, with the same cast which then marked its represent- ation, These exceptions were Mr. Norton as Arthur Lovell, played last night by Mr. Rockwell; Mr, George Holland as Jerrams, played last night by Mr, M. Holland; Miss Louisa Moore as Margaret Went- worth, instead of Miss Henriques, and L. Phillips as Laura Danbar, instead of Mrs. Sediey Browne. The acting throughout was superb, Mr. James Wallack as Henry Dunbar, being deserving of particular mention; the impersonation of this character being beyond a doubt, one of Mr. Wallack’s most popular and powerful and really artistic assumptions. The house was crowded to excess, standing room being scarcely obtainable, and the performance as & who passing off with that peculiar finish and smoothness which generally characterizes the production of new and the revival of old plays at this establishment. “Henry Dunbar’ will be repeated on next Saturday evening With same cast, EUROPEAN MARKETS.

A Thrilling Narrative—How Our Cottsers' Are Manned. On Monday last, the 15th instant, the sciooner Marwaret Kennedy, owned by Mr, Shadford, of Milford, and having on board ber captain, Frank A. Rich; the mate, Franklin Ryder, and the wife of the latter, but without a crew, left New Jersey for Mil- ford, Conn. She had on board 123 tons of coal, fifteen tons of which were on the main hatch and seven on the fore hatch, on deck, and the remainder below. It was @ heavy cargo for the Hudson, the veasel’s deck being almost flush with the water; but it seemed Madness to send a vessel so laden through the Sound. Nevertheless, obedient to the mandate of the rapacious individuals who were her consignees the captain nad to put to sea. 1t was blowing hard from the northwest when the vessel was off the Battery waiting for a pilot, and i blew sull fresher at Hell Gate. The pilot left when off the North Brothers, and gave the schooner in charge to Captain Rick. The weather being very threat ening it was thought best to anchor as Hart's Isiand, which was accordingly done; but the anchor was welghed again at two A. M. and the schooner continued her voyage, at immi- nent risk of gotng down, and finally arrived off Charles Island, where the anchor was again dropped at hail-past ten. The captain went ashore here, stating to the mate that he was going home to spend Thanksgiving, and that he (Mr. Ryder) should take charge. Charles Island is about four miles from the main land, and a sand bar (only at low water) forma @ connecuon between. It was, consequently, & dangerous place to be should the wind change and it come on to blow hard. The captain sent a pilot on board about haif-past five, and, as the wind had died away in the meantime, no atiempt was made to get under weigh, The roresail and jib, however, were got up in preparation for a breeze. This was done under direction of the pilot who soon after Went ashore, saying that be woul come on board again shoulé the wind spring up. After supper the mate “turned in,’ leaving his wife to watch, About half-past nine he was aroused by his watcuful wife, who saw the sall flapping to and fro, but on examining the horizon he saw no immediate danger, and again retired to sleep, not, however, without first giving the schooner five fathoms more of chain, An hour later the mate was aroused by Mra. Ryder, who was greatly alarmed at the threatening appearance of the weather. ‘The wind blew strongly {rom the southward and east- ward, and was getting fresher every minute, while high running Waves uasted across the Dowd and broke with a resounding noise on the bar close by. ‘The mate found that the schooner was dragging, and at once gave out more chain. With great exer- tion and the assistance of Mrs. Ryder the sats were taken in and stowed. The wind and waves momentarily increased in force and violence and the water dashed over the raiis and bows. At this time Mrs. Ryder discovered that the sea was pour- ing in through a wide fissure near the raduer poste, and aiso that it was coming in fast from the deck through the rotten hatches, At hall-past twelve there were two feet of water in the hotd. [t was now blowing a perféet hurricane, and the appalling fact became evident that im a few minutes the vessel would go down. The mate went to work at the pumps, while his wife hoisted lights as signals of distress. Hour after hour went by the mate being relieved at the pumps every fifteen minutes by Mra. Ryder; but no help came. At length the yaw) Was pulled up, and, obedient to the voice of her husband, the courageous woman stepped on board; but, missing her foothold, narrowly es- caped drowning. She was only rescued by a despe- rate effort. But there was no time to be lost. Tho schooner was settling down by the head, as preparing for a final plunge. Ms, Ryder again jumped on board the yawl; but striking her side against the gunwale tumbied across the thwarts and was severely hurt. Ryder jeaped in after her, first, however, throwing 1n a coil of small rope, ahatchet and pair of knives, and the boat drifted astern, ‘The two unfortunates were hardly clear of the vessel When she rolled once and then went down In the bubbling waves head foremost. The mae had fortunacely connected bis thirty-four jathom line to the painter, so that the boat rode anchored to the stern of the sunken vessel. They remained in that position until five o'clock; but as the yaw! was fillmg with water and the island right abeam, and the bar right in their lee, the mate conciuded to pull up as close as he could toward the wreck and cut connection with it, There was nothing for it then bus to take to the oars and pull for the west side of the island. Though severely bruised Mrs. Ryder kept at ber oar until the boat (three-quarters of an hour later), thumped against the rocks, when she was washed into the sea. The mate then threw himself after her and with great dificuity reached the shore with the heroine in his arms. The sea was tremendous aud and several times almost dragged them back into is icy grasp. It was as muchas Mr. Ryder coula do, 80 worn and exhausted was he by bis exertions, to reach high water mark, where he laid down to rest. ‘The house of Jonn and Fred Schmidt was eventually reached, where the mate and his wife remained two days, receiving every possible kindness from the owners of the house. On Friday morning some parties came over trom Milford and the mate and lus wife proceeded to Bridgeport, the ticket masier at that place giving them tickets to their home tree of charge.
