The great hailstorm of Thursday em Dvaux, Ar
bus to be
almost the only topic' of conversation Dere ; and
daring yesterday the streets were crowded with
persons geeing with wonder at the ravages that
had been committed. No ealculatioa el the
amount of the damage can yet be arrived at,
as the prim of glass has been trebled or
quadrupled, and the coat in each pert:claw
case most be a matter of private beryls. Many
private houses have so many as a hundred pane.
broken ; others • great deal more : and in the fronts
of same balms is the most fashionable streets scarcely
sae sound pane would appear to have been
left. The storm seems to have visited Mel-
linger sheet as hour previous to having reached
Dublin, imd to have proceeded from the latter
city in the direction of Drogheda, thus leaving
the circle of its route very clearly defined.
I have not learned that the phenomenon has been the
sobject of any scientific observation, but, hke some
tornadoes described by travellers, this storm
would appear to have had an axis of revolution inde-
, pendent of the centre of its line of progress. as this
sloce can account for some of the eccentricities of its
movement. Kingston and the Blackrock esoaped,
while Kilaminhani suffered considerably, and Howth
was alai visited, although not severely. The follow.
iog are some particulars froM the Dublin papers of
the damage inffimed on the city and its vicinity :
The hail played upon the windows at the rear of the este
blishment of Mr. William Andrews tthe Irish woollen ware
house), in Caredo4treet, like a discharge of artillery, and the
cal bee of panes broken amounted to 676. lb. front of
the bank of the Masan. Lstoselie was also punished very
severely—the panes untouched were few and ler b twee..
The Bank of Inland escaped rather well, the event of the
demise done to it not exceeding 100 broken panes. The
Castle Chapel was very much injured—the Inautitel stained
glue was breken in many places. The nei4hbourhoods of
tee Liberty and Patrick's close were visited in • very tearful
way ; the impoverished inhabitants have bees blown out of
house and home, and their Isis. treble dwellings
have bees rendered still more unsomfortable
pmeless windows and flooded rooms. The Gr. et
Southern and Western Railway Censpany had upwards
of 600 panes demolished in the 'root of th•v nob re
terminus. The Drogheda Railway terminus suffered may
ostensively, having lost upwards of 300 roof panes, Tha
Midland Great Western Hallway Company wiled with the
loss of about 30 pease. The Dahlia and Kingstown Railway
Company lost a seed deal of glass, and a pinion of the
wooden shed fee earriages was blown down—the carriages
themselves being dneen with great velocity down apse the
terminus. The Royal Military Infirmary, Pomais-perk, a.
well as the Coastabulary Barracks, wee subjected to the
rudest crashiags of the storm. The Conservatories in the
Plos six.pars were so much injured as to require 200 ban
may to protect the p:ants and fruit from injury. The great
western window of St. Patrick's Catbedralemavd with ems-
paratively little injury, though fully exposed. The east side
of William .street was terribly wrecked—the establishment of
Mews. Ferrier and the Pcnnicial Bank being heavy sufferers.
The Queen's Printing Office lost about :300 pante.
Os the east aide of Stipken'agrees, the O ,vernment
aleseem of Eennomie Geology, the Loretto School, and the
St. Vineeut's Hospital, as well as every home in that line,
are reveged--scarcely a pane left. Westland-row and Gnat
Brunswick-ereet hare suffered most severely. In Stephen's.
green the chimney of Dr. Halahan's house was 'track by
lightning and levelled to the roof, bringing down mot and
rubbish to all the rooms in the house. Gee 0' the flees
caught fire and crested fur some time considerable alarm.
