STORM IN SYDNEY.
WEATHER ABATING. TERRIFIC GALE AT NEWCASTLE. SYDNEY, Sept. 12. The weather in Sydney is now abating. Newcastle experienced one of the korst gales in its history. The roof of a two storeyed building was carried away and crashed through the ceiling of another house. The occupants escaped. A sixty-mile gale and terrific seas lashed Sydney Heads yesterday. The collier Stockrington took twelve hours to cover sixty miles from Newcastle. Inter-State steamers and coasters waited in the harbour for the gale to subside. The seas at Jervis Bay are breaking over the cliffs, sending spray a hundred feet high. There was no passenger steamer to or from Newcastle last night.
