The gale which occurred on Lake Ontario last week, proves to have been of unusual severity. It is estimated that the loss of property will amount to $150,000, but will probably be more. The number of vessels damaged or lost is supposed to be between twenty and thirty. Elsewhere will be found full particulars. The body of a sailor came ashore last Friday, near the Light House on Point Peter, no signs of a wreck were visible, but it is supposed that the vessel to which he belonged has been swamped and all hands have perished. Several vessels are reported to be ashore in close proximity to Weller’s Bay; but, we believe, no lives were lost.

One of the wildest and most furious gales we ever witnessed sprung up yesterday afternoon, and continued for the better part of the night. The wind blew from the South-west a hurricane in violence, and, if the damage to signs, chimneys, awnings, &c., is any criterion to estimate the loss on the water, the shipping on the lakes must have suffered immensely. Shortly after the gale came on, a number of vessels were seen off the mouth of the Genesee endeavoring to make the harbor for a refuge, and in the early part of the evening the most of them succeeded in getting inside the piers but not out of danger. As they came inside they drifted against the east pier, and remained there during the night in great jeopardy from the violence of the waves dashing them against the pier.

From the Oswego Times Wednesday evening.

The wind commenced blowing last night at about sunset, and increased to a perfect hurricane without much abatement in violence up to this forenoon. The gale on this lake is without doubt the severest of the season, and a large amount of property las been lost. Fears are entertained for the safety of vessels known to have been on the lake, but not yet heard from.
