DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN THE JURA.

At Morey (Jura), four day ego, • large black
cloud, from which frequent flashes of lightning wen seen,
collected over the town, and was presently met by a second
cloud, somewhat lighter, coming from the opposite direc-
tion. The shock between the two caused loud and repeated
rolls of thunder, with, however, comparatively little light-
ning ; and when this had continued for about a quarter of
an hour; a veritable avalanche of hailstones, " the like of
which," says a leiter, " is not known in the memory of
ma," poured down with terrific fury. Innumerable win-
dows were breken, the slates and tiles of roofs were smashed
to pieces, and roofs of sine were literally riddled with
holes. In leas than ten minutes the ground was
covered with bat-stones to a depth of from to 21
inches end the stones were of all eine, from
that of • ant to that of a hen's egg. The ge weight of
the stones was from to lt ounce; there were many of
from 2to 41 ounces; twenty minutes alter the storm had
ceased several were found weighing 81 ounces. The damage
dune in the town was very considerable, and in the neigh-
bourhood the crops were de etroyed, several carts were
thrown down, a quantity of birds and game killed, and a
by eleven years of age, who was in the fields, els., killed.
The same storm Wended into the province of Beaujolais,
and did considerable damns in towns, villages, and vine-
yards. Marchampt, Vdbe. Rennie, suffered greatly; St.
Etienne, Odense, Charente,. Bourg, and St. Lager were
also damaged, but in a less degree. At. B.iurg the hail
stones weighed from 2 to 31 ovasee.—Galkinarai.

quotations, however, exhibited in several awes a
rather decided re-action from the drpresaion of the
morning.

At Paris to-dey the Three per Cent. Rent,. clamed
at 66.90, which shows only a trithog recovery frees
yesterday's fall of neatly per cent. Letters frusta
Faris, dated yesterday atternoon, refer in especial to
a fall of no less than 115 f. in Credit Mobtlier shares,
attributed in part to a difficulty in carrying over
Owes shares at the half-monthly settling. Owing to
the extensive current speculation in this security, the
rate of "continuation' has risen to a very high
range. In view of the unfavourable aspect of the
Bank of France return, the feeling is pining ground
that great caution ought to be exercised in all trans-
actions in connexion with that bourse, which seems
at present, owing to the speculative spirit afloat, ill
prepared to meet any sudden tightening of the money
market. _ _ _

Consols closed at 901 to for the 12th October,
from which range there was little variation through-
out the day. For money, sales were pressed at 901,
and the closing quotation may be given at 901. The
official business report is as follows :—Three per
Cent. Consols, for money, 901, 901; ditto, for account,
12th Oct., 901, 90Q ; India Stock, 230; ditto, for ao-
count, 231; India Bonds, 18s. prem.
Exchequer Bills remain at yesterday's rednoed
quotation of Bs. to 10s. prem. Exchequer Bonds
have declined to 100 to 1001.
In the foreign stock market the chief transactions
were in Turkish bonds. The Six per Cents. wars
sold as low as 901, and the new guaranteed Four
per Cent. scrip at par : the closing quotations
were 911 to 92/, and 1 to j premium respeo-
tively, the fall having brought in buyers.
The approaching deduction of the half.year'S
dividend of 3 per cent. tends materially to
support the price of the Six per Cent. stcck. This
scrip of the new French loan was sold in the morning
at 2: prem., and was last quoted 21 to 2f prem. Other
stocks were quiet.

MEXICO AFTER THE ABDICATION.

General Carrera is appointed Provisional Presi-
dent of Mexico. The intentions of Alvarez and
Comootort are not yet known. The provinces have
been invited to pronounce. Santa Anos, after
escaping to Havanna, proceeded to Canons.
The New York Journal of Commerce remarks:

The more detailed intelligence of events at the Mexican
capital cenetquent upon the abdication and flight of Banta
Anna, shows that the provisional government was acquiesced
in for the moment, only as an alternative preferable to the
anarchy which would have ensued upon an interregnum
attended with a cessation of the exercise of all restrictive
and protective functions of the civil power. It is repre-
muted as not acceptable to the liberals, and it seems to have
acknowledged its own instability and tenure of sufferance,
by summoning the commanders of the liberating forces to
the capital to consult in respect to the constitution of a
permanent government, instead of preparing to maintain
its own authority against the claims of the expected chief-
tains. In requesting the generals to leave behind them
their (showers, it may have sought to avert from the pro-
posed settlement of affairs, the preponderating influence of
military dictation, and so to secure for itself a more poten
voice in shaping the result. But no effective opposition
could be directed against the establishment of a liberal go•

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A PROFES-

Considerable feeling has lately been occasioned
at Berkeley by the institution of a pr.-amnion sgeiur Mr.
John Sampson, surgeon, for uttertng counterfeit Bank of
Septette notes, with intent to defraud I enrols. No
fewer than four charges, U res of uttering 51 notes, wed

ghee him the change, received what appeared to be a Bank
of England Oct. for 51., and locked it up in a drawer where
the only other paper money were notes of the Nittiotalll
Provincial Bark. He thought the note a good one, tr, in
eansegissnce of certain tossers which were to eat, he sent to
get it cashed at the bank at Dun+, by Mr. W. P. Hadley,
a miller, who was informed by the bank clerks that the note
was counterfeit. On the day fullowieg that on wnich
Webster teceised the note bum flempeon caned en him, and
said re was totally ignorant that the note wee bad, and
offered to give the money for it and have it back again.
The note was produced last Wednesday, with several other
forgeries, and a gentleman named Bummed, cesemeeted with
the Bonk of Regime, proved that it was a forgery. Two
other similar charges were preferred. When taken to the
newel, Mr. Sampew produced his pocket-book, and in it
were found five counterfeit back notes.

THE ORLEANS FAMILY.

The Prussian Gazette says :—" You haws been
already informed that the Intended tweeting of the members
of t►e Orleans family at the Chateau of the Coast de Chem•
bord was postponed, In consequence of the intervention of I
Queen Victoria. I can add to that oommunication the fact
that the Emperor of Austria, out of Iry 'Aeration for the
Emperor of the French, notified to the Princes and Psi.-
ceases of the House of Orleans that he could not desire to
see such a meeting tape place within the Austrian domi-1
pions. The preparations for the proposed journey have
been laid aside I. oonsequence."

Duke of Chartres, lest Aix on the 12th for Ostend, ea

CONDITION OF TRH RUSSIAN ARMY.

The Om states, on what it describes to be very pre-
des authority, that all the accounts of the alleged wain of
provisions is the Ananias army are pure fictions. The Ras.
elan soldier, it imp, woe better clothed or eared for
than in the pretest war, and everything that, sa a Rus-
sian soldier, he requires be possesses in abundance.
Re bee indeed 4ritack and no wine—things which the
French soldier is ansions for—no beefsteaks, which are a
neeessity for the English soldier; but be has bread, meal,
potatoes, peeled barley, meat, and brandy—and more he
does not desire. In strange contradiction with this repre-
sentation of things in the Crimea, the Casa adds that Prince
Gostsehakoff spends his private means in providing foe the
comforts of his army, by whom he is adored.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A private letter from Silistria, in the Pelona.'
Correspondence, states that the Turks are actively
employed in repairing the fortifications of that place
and those of lioutshoulr, expecting, se they do, an
offensive movement on the part of Russia. The
streets and squares of the fortress, and the banks of
the Danube, are still covered with balls and shells of
last year's siege. There are about 40,000 Turkish
troops at Silietris, and 10,000 at Itoutshook.

The Prussian' Correspon dews contains a letter
front Gabor, of the 29th It., which states that the
new French consul at that place, Count de Brossard,
has entered on hia duties. During the Russian occu-
pation French interests were not represented in the
Principalities. At Galatt, where there are but very
few French 'objects, Viscount de Lemaut has been
provisionally acting as representative of France
daring the last few months.

♦ letter from Vienna, of the 10th, nays :-4 Lids
amounts from St. Petersburg represent that new re-
giments are to be sent into the Crimea; that 60,000
men Cr. to be concentrated on the Penal, and that
the defensive works of Perekop are to be reinforced.
The same accounts say also that a large park of artil-
lery is to be formed at Warsaw, which is also pro-
bably destined for the Crimea. The fortifications of
liiew are being actively carried on, and will soon be
terminated.

minced in this district, it is band the hope do not come
down so well as was at one time ►nticipated, ant the backers
of a 270,00 W. duty are more numerous.
BRENCULDT—Picking is now general, and we shall grow
a large quantity is this parish. Many of the growers cal.
culate that the time of picking will exceed six weeks, even
if we have fine heather all the time.
MALLING (TOWK).—Picking has generally commenced,
and we find toe hops about equal to our expectations. It is
thought the rain we hare had will do them good.
Mnaxwouvw—Picking is going on very fast, and the
crop is quite equal to the growers' expectations. The
quality is good, and some groneds will yield more than a ton
per SEM
PacLicax (SALT.)—Hop picking is now become general.
We have every prorpect of an abundant crop ; but in S3Olll
places the hops are going off very badly.
Rocassma.—Pirking has become very general in this
district, and in most instances the hops are coming down
very short of expectation. In one garden where 15 owl per
acre was calculated_upoa,.there will not be 12 cwt. Some

name the duty at 250,0001.
RoLwaNDEN.—Picking ie general. The Jones's will
Italia, our eapectations as to quantity, but they weigh light.
The red rust is spreading rapidly through the plantations,
and, tegetber with the winds, will considerably lessen ice
duty.
Ticilittrifitv.—The hops come down quite aa well as was
expected. Picking is now general.
WATZIIINGBUILY.— Picking generally commenced on
Monday, acid they come down very well IA yer. In
quality, they will quite equal our espectatione ; but in
quantity they will fall rattier short. Judging from the
beautiful samples that have been drawn from the outhouses,
our hops ought to fetch a first-class price.
YALDING AND WEST FAlLLEloll.—Pickieg has begun.
In many grounds they come down well, both as to quantity
and colour. The wind, however, has left its mark in most.
The extranrdinary weather we have had kas had a great
effect on the hops growing on warm soils, forcing the hops
,prematurely into ripeness,: consequently, they have lost
I colour, and their condition is impaired. We shall, how-
ever, grow a heavy duty ; but it is thought the quality will
not be first rate.—Musdatone Journal.

Mr. Bodkin said the inquiries which had been made had
a very unfavourable result, bath as regarded the prisoner
and his winners. They spoke so highly of a person who
had been picking pockets in Ozfurd street, that it struck
him as very singular, and it proved that they had attempted
to foist falsehood upon the court, and be had little doubt
that they were not unacquainted with such transactions as
had brought the prisoner to that bar. He shook have the

The complainant said—The defendant wished to sell ale
a cult, and es it did not suit me I ?eloped to purchase it,
and he then bit me oa the side of the heed, and I fill down
senseless.
Alderman Wire—Did you give him no provocation but
the refusal ?

Complainant—Not the least.
Alderman Wire—Did you not spit in his face ? It is said
you did.
Complaisant—No. I did spit, but not in his face.
Defendant—Right in my teeth, my lord. (Laughter.)
It was well it wasn't in my eyes.
Alderman Wire—ls there any evidence to prove that Mr.
Krischiclowski gave this ft!thy offence?
Barnet Castr. —I was in the market, and I saw the corn-
Oatmeal spit rigot in Mr. Lipmsn's face. We all considered
it very ungentlemanlike. (Laughter.) Mr. Lipman did
rise hie hand when he found what it was that he got.
The defendant—l assure eour lordship it's a common
trick with him. He thinks nothii•g of spitting bang in any
one's teeth. He's a Dutohmas, and he likes to du It. (A
laugh.)
Mr. M. Samuel—l am recioeytaker at the Clothes Ba
change, and I was in the Mart at the time. I heard a none,
and I tarred round and saw the conaplainaat in the act of
spitting, butt didn't know in whose face he was spitting
(Great laughter) I was told afterwards by the com-
plaisant that defendant had struck him, and I told him it I
had seen him spit in any one's face I would have turned
him cut of the market myself.
Several dealers said it was the constant practice of the
cmnpltinest sometimes to make a spittoon and somermes a
pocket handkerchief of a man's face, and very few gentle-
men could used it. _

Aldennaw Wire said the defendant must give bail for his
goad behaviour for viz months, as he had viulentlyatruck e
men old enough to be his fuher, and advised the coot
plainant to get rid of the filthy habit which bad been so
vividly described by the witnesses, end which, however it
might be sanctioned by some fureigntre, ise far u regarded
our carp..., would never be countenanced by Englishmen.

HEALTH OF LONDON.

The mortality of London is stil l high; the deaths
which bad !ellen from 1,880 to 1,877 in the previous week
again romp last week to 1,425. The mean weekly temps
raters was 40 8 deg. in the beginning of Mardi, higher by
14 deg. than it had been in the latter ballot February. It
fell to 36 deg., and in the week that has now passed it
was 38Z deg. From natural causes, as well as from the
eircumstaeas that deattis are not always registered as soon
as they occur, the consequences of a change of tempera-
ture in one week are only developed in the returns of the
week following, or at a later period. The return shows that
169 persons died above the estimated number.
Disuses of the respiratory organs were fatal in 339 cases,
whilst the avenge is 280; besides these, phthisis ambers
160, hoopingeough 76, and influenza 9.
Last week the births of 906 boys and 873 girls, I. ell 1,779
children, were registered in London. la the ten correspond-
ing weeks of the yean 1846 34, the average number was
1,637
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean reading
of the barometer in the week was 29.339 in. ; the highest
was 29 70 in. The mean temperature of the w. ek was 381
digs., which is lower than the average by 21 dogs. Sunday
(the 11th) was cold ; the highest temperature was 381 deg. ;
and the mesa 31.2 dep., or 9.6 degs. below the average.
Snow and glut fell oa that day. The following days were
warmer, and towards the end of the week the meat tempo-
nature rose above the average. The wind blew chiefly from
the south-east and south. The highest temperature of the
week was 63.3 doge. on Friday ; the lowest 24.6 degs. on
Sunday. The mean dew path' temperatere was 331 digs.,
and the difference between this and the mean air tempera-
ture was 41 dogs. Rola fell to the amount of 8.70 in ,
about half of which fell an Monday.

THE MARQUIS OF CLANRICARDE.

ON the 13th of February last we made some re-
marks on a cue entitled" Hstemoac v. DELACODR," 1
which had recently been heard in the Irish Court of
Chancery. The allegations in the opening statement
of the ArroaNav-OzNasm.--the tragic incidents

unfolded u the ow

in
rank and station of the partiesinterested it—all
contributed to make this case one of no inconsider-
able public interest. We therefore gave our readers
an epitome of it, and made some comments
upon its leading incidents. Our example was fol-
lowed by some of our contemporaries, and no•
tics was thus attracted to this romance of real
life. Amongst others, the attention of one was
called to it whom we should have supposed without
any aid from us to have been in every stage of it
deeply interested. We mean the Most Noble CLICK
JouN Da Boson, Marquis of Clanricarde. It is now
stated by that nobleman that until the came was no-
ticed by the press he was not cognisant of the
charges against him contained in the affidavits. But
having been made aware of their real purport, he
naturally concludes—and it is a conclusion in which
we entirely agree—that it they be well founded he
has not been adequately punished, and is unfit to
hold a position of trust or honour. Accordingly, by
his letter of Feb. 13, 1835, he calls upon the Loan
Cliattcattos of IRELAND, by whom the case of
HANDCOCK v. Daucona" had been heard, to" take
steps for his removal by the Government from the
Lieutenancy and Superintendence of the Magistracy
of the county of Galway."
He further asks whether his lordship degree any
explanation upon any matter from him, or to enter
iato any investigation of his conduct, in any respect,
or at any time. We can well conceive the horror
and astonishment with which a quiet, drowsy, and
domestic LORD CHANCELLOR would contemplate this
terrible bill of discovery. His duties at present are
net very limited or uniform, and an often such as
seriously to trouble and embarrass • respectable
family man. Minors, impatient to burst their bondage,
-.-fair wards, not lam anxious to eater into
it infants, married women, Lunatics, run-
away bankrupts, rogues and receivers—all have a
pull at the good man's gown ; and if to these duties
be added that of investigating the moral con-
duct of the Marquis; of CLAwatc.annli upon all
matters in all respects and at any time, we would
saionely essammead the learned lad to make oat
his own momminion de lusiatito beforehand,
MA have it ready for immediate us in case
of essagisay. Lord Chancellors, karate, are
net easily entrapped into inquiries for which
tea is nested. His lordship, therefore, after giving
a meet samples and courteous exposition of what
this- Massie expressly desires, or invites in more
general tams, says he does not consider it proper that
he should enter into any further investigation respect-
ing transactions which, for aught he knows, may yet
be matter for judicial inquiry, and in respect to

The Vienna Conferences were resumed yesterday I
no progress is reported.
Addax from Balaklava, via Marseilles, of the 6th,
and via Bechareat of the 11th, are to band. The
weather, which at the first date wu fine, had at the
second become rainy, and the roads were again broken
up. The Allies and the Russians were each construct.
ing new batteries. The Russians were especially ener-
getic on the points opposite the right attack. It
was believed in camp that the commanders of
the allied forces would find it impossible to allow
the construction of the enemy's works in program
there; an attack was therefore expected. The RUll-
sins appear to have received reinforcements.—Daily

ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE.

A letter addressed to the Poor Law Board by a
pauper named James, was read at the meeting of the paro-
chial authorities of Bt. Pancras yesterday, Thomas Bid
Baker,Beq.,in the chair. The letter,which was forwarded to
the board of 'Bruton by the secretary to the Poor Law
Board, who requests an immediate explanation, states that
the men's usual ward is in a very disgracefully filthy stew.
Into this room twenty-three persons were nightly admitted,
and to every three one rag, one blanket and one ceir mat-
tress is allowed, all of which were literally swarming with
vermin. Te escape contamination the inmates, who have
been respectable ratepayers, have recourse to sleeping there
huddled together in a state of perfect nudity. The writer
states that the ward launder a man who is habitually drunk,
and complains that, however harshly the poor he treated,
they cannot possibly see any of the authorities for the par-
pus of complaining.
The reading of this communication was received with a
burst of indignation from nearly all the members present,
who said that there was not a word of truth in it.
Mr. TOBNIR advised the authorities to inquire Wore
they condemned the whole statement as untrue: he believed
that it was not entirely unfounded.
Mr. STOCKTON considered it dirgraosful on the part of the
Poor-law Board to pay any attention to the communication,
as they wars well acquainted with the antecedents of the
writer.
After a long dismission, it was resolved to remove James
Out of the ward complained of into the body of the h ease ;
and Mr. Cook, the clerk, was directed to acknowledge the
receipt of the correspondence, and to inform the Poor-law
Board that the sinews felt math surprise at their paying
, attention to letter from the man James, with whose cha-
t renter they were well acquainted.

Ox SATURDAY AFTERNOON, two well-dressed men
were arrested us Pinson • charge of forging English bank-
notes. Ea they were crossing the Pont Notre Dame, guarded
by gendarmes, on their way to the prefecture of police, one
of them jumped ildo the river. His body was carried away
by the rapid earrent, sad has set yet been found.

DISTRUCTION Ol MILITARY STORES.

Bir,—l have the honour to infects you that on the 22nd
instant, his Imperial Freoeh Majesty's ship Fulton having
gone to Kaffa to reconnoitre, I proceeded towards Amps is
her Majesty's ship Leopard, but on passing the Boghu of
the Kouban Lake we observed numbers of troops crossing
the pump in boats, from Amapa to Taman ; so I ran in sad
anchored off the passage in 43 fathoms.
_ _

. .
The troops had landed, but we opened fire on them, and
drove them to the hills.

I sent a division of boats, under Lieutenant Graham, to
examine the buildings on the points, which proved to be
guard-house', barracks, stor•-houses, and stables, some of
which were burnt ; but a heavy snow-storm coming on I re•
called the boats.

Lieutenant Graham reporting that he had seen some guns
and other military stores, which he had not time to destroy,
and which the enemy were traneiorting from Arnim to
Kona, 1 again proceeded there on the 24th inst.nt, in
company with the Fulton.

A few rounds of shot sod shell drove the Coaling and
ether troops, 400 or 500 in number, to the hills; when the
boats under Lieutenant Graham landed, and Monsieur
in the Fulton, took up a position to the nottb-west, to
check the advance of the enemy, who soon atter brought
some field batt on the hills sod opened a heavy fire of
shet and shell upon the ships and beats.
The very accurate fin of the Fallen drove them from two
positions, and the Leopard's shell from a third, after which
they retreated behind the hills.
After three hours' work the boats returned, having cap-
tured sod destroyed ten new and handsome 50 o*t, 6.ineh
guns, and burnt seven lugs boat', two Tangos of barracks
end buildings, also a quantity of military stores and
provisions.

The Fulton received one shot in her hull, but I am happy
to icy no casualties occurred.
The loss of the enemy must have been considerable.
I have, &e.,

REPRESENTATION OF THE WEST RIDING.

The tories of the West Riding are beating about
for a candidate of their views to represent them at tee next
election. Whether this gentleman is to supersede the pre-
sent liberal conservativi member, Mr. Edmund Denison, er
to join him, they do not say. One is quite as likely as the
other to be their httention, for so man was ever more an
handsomely deserted by his party than Mr. Denison was at
the hustler at the last general election. The fact is he is a
thoroughly independent man, end is therefore distasteful to
the leaders of the tory petty in the Riding. There have
been several names mentioned recently put forth sa feelers;
but they have all fallen very deed upon the sonstitueney.
Now, however, they have bit upon a tandem's whose name
has cot bees received with so mews impasei . In fact,
it has crested " a !sensation " Amongst those who know
something about the West Riding coastitueney, the name
has been received with division in those aristocratic chiles
whore formerly the rspreimmtation was negotiable between
noble earls, it bail bets received with (so say, rumour) great
indignation. The gentleman named is Hr. Henry Rd-
wards, of Halifax, whose qualilleations, as set forth lit the
tory organs of Leeds end Halifax, are that he is " A sound
conservative," "A staunch protestant," and " identified
with the maaufacturing interest. To which we may sod
that he is • major in • local yeomanry regiment, and was
rejected by the constituency of Halifax at the last general
election.
