MONTEGO Bay.— St. James. (From information gathered by the Hon. W. Coke Kerr.) During Sunday night the 17th the wind was fresh from the SE and increasing. At mid- night it was blowing a gale; and on the 1 8th it was strongest between 10 and 11 a.m. when it veered more to the S. The calm began at 2 p....m.; there was a strange lurid appear- ance in the sky between 4.30 and 5. 30 p.m., and at 5.45 p.m. a furious hurricane struck the town from the N, or NNE. The worst part did not last long ; and the wind calmed down at 8.30 p.m. 10 The wind in the morning was probably 8o miles an hour at its greatest ; this would give a pressure of 23 lbs. per square foot ; the force of the wind in the evening w^as about double the force of the wind in the morning ; this would give 46 lbs. per square fdot, or 114 miles an hour; and these estimates are in accordance with those made at the Kempshot Observatory.
