GRFAT HAILSTORM IN AMERTOA.—A New York paper
of the 22nd says—" A terrific hailstorm visited the city of
Wastington yest-relay afternoon, and caused an immense
destruction of the glass in skylights, conservatories, and
windows. Trees were stripped of their foliage, and grain,
vegetables, and shrubbery beaten, to the earth, The storm
was about twelve miles in breadth, and extended from the
south-west to the north-east. Some of the hailstones were
so large as to weigh from live to six, ounces. It is feared
that the crops throughoat its course are much injured, if
not entirely ruined."

The litoniteur has a decree signed by the Minister of
the Interior, calling attention to the fact that the Assemble
Nationale having been already three times warned and
once suspended for two mouths, published on 7th.of July
an article headed "Un dernier mot sur les elections,"
which contains f4lse and malevolent allegations, inasmuch
as it insinuated that the most entire liberty did not preside
at the recent contested elections. The government, unable
to allow the five millions else ors who voted in its favour
in all parts of France, to be thus columnated with imput:fty,
declares the Assemble Nationale suspended for two months,
from the B,h July. The same paper contains a second
waraing to .Estaffette, for an article which attacks the con-
stitutionel authority of five millions of vaters, inasmuch as
it refuses to respect the rights of the majoricy, such respect
being a fundamental principle which a minority cannot be
permitted to deny.
As the assizes are now drawing near, we would again
draw the attention of the Grand Jury to Mr. Sculy's
suggestion, that they should petition to have the valuation
of Ireland paid out of the Cinsolidated Mind. As we
have already pointed out, there is a gross injustice in com-
pelling the counties to bear the expense of the annual
revision of this valuation, which is almost exclusively
availed of by the Government for eying taxes and similar
Imperial purposes. Already, this revision has cost the
country £376,548-, and the extent of this burden may be
estimated fiom the fact, that the revision of about one-half
of the counties in 'lreland last year, cost £3,35-4. The exclu-
sive management of the valuation is vested in Government
authorities, and the Grand Juries ate deprived of all power
of controlling the expenses. This is really a heavy griev-
ance,. and our Grand Juries should lose no limo in exclaim-
ing against it, and taking measures to ensure its discon-
tinuance —Cork Reporter.
BERANGSR AND THE EMPREV.—The CONSlitiei69/Bel,
contains the followine,:- The Empress, on hearing of the
Hines; which placed the life of prancer in danger, sent
'M. Daroas-Hinard, her private secretary, to express her
sympathy for the sufferer. N.htwithstanding his serious
state, Beranger signified his desire to receive her Majesty's
secretary. Extended on a sora, his face pale and shrunken,
his yes [sail closed, Beranger raised his hand to take that
of M. D maF-Hinard, who told him in whose name he had
come to condole with him on his sufferings. " Her Majesty
is very good," said Beranger in a feeble voieu. "Dt was
very natural," replied M. I) tmas-Hinatd, " that the
Empress should seed to you. You :were one of the delights
of her youth, and to her admiration for the poet are united
abe esteem and affection for the man." 'lVaile M, Dumas,
Hinard was speaking, the countenance' of Be.ratigesr
' brightened up, and he said, "The Empress is very kind.
She has passed nobly through the different phases of her
life, and now, in the exalted station in which she is plveed,
she gives proof of an excellent heart. Do not fail," added
Ileranger, "to express to her vll my gratitude," It is
