A violent storm swept over Ireland on the night of

Wednesday last. The " Island" near Clontarf was overflowed ; and a wooden cottage, containing a man and a boy who attended upon bathers, was carried away. A boy who ventured on a plank in the Liffey was also carried away. A steamer under repair at Kingstown was driven against the wooden jetty, and through the watchman's house, which was divided into two ; the man escaping just in time! The shipping on the coasts has suffered severely. By midday on Thursday, all was fine again.
