New Orleans, Aug. 16.—News is coming in but very slowly from the | points along the coast affected by the great gulf storm. The telegraph and telephone wires are down in a great many places, and there is 110 other means of communicating with the villages stricken by the storm. The latest information indicates that the town of Shell Beach and a number of smaller settlements have been practically washed away, and that a great many of the inhabitants have lost their lives. It is believed that the tug Velasco has been lost. She had gone down to the eastern mouth of the river with two barges and twenty passengers, and when last seen the waves were washing her decks. Nothing has since been heard from her. No news whatever has been received from the settlements of Cheniere and Carminada, which arc composed of hundreds of Chinese and Malay fishermen, and it is feared that they have also been devastated. 0T Branch, 3 y Ocean Grove, Asbury ParK, FOR D0o BAOH Ladies' Muslin Gowns, well made.
