shore near Morselines, in the Manche. One of them
was sixteen feet long, and they weighed together nearly
a ton and a•half.
A violent hurricane was experienced at the beginning
of this month at Bagneres, in the Hautes-Pyrenees, and
in the surrounding district. A great quantity of farming
produce was destroyed, and 133 habitations have been
severely damaged.—The Toulouse Journal has accounts
from Sengowagnet, in the Haute Garonne, stating
that on the Ist inst. the valleys in that part of the coun-
try were visited by a, violent hurricane which uprooted
trees, carried some to a considerable distance, and blew
down numerous barns and dwelling-houses. As a proof
of the force of the wind it is stated that a slate weighing
81bs. was torn from the roof of a stable to which it was
strongly fastened, and carried with all the force
of a cannon shot against the house of the Cure at a con-
siderable distance. Here it was driven through one of
the windows into the opposite wall, which was cased
with strong cement. At Milhau a hay-loft in which
several men slept was unroofed, and the inmates with
the hay blown completely out of it.
A fall took place at St. Adresse, in the Seine-Infe-
rieure, at the end of last week, of a portion of the cliff
600 feet long at top, and 1,200 feet at the bottom, and
about 60 feet in breadth. Three men, who had been
working on the shore underneath the cliff, had removed
from the spot on an alarm being given from above only
a few moments before. .

A few Sundays ago a grand ceremony took place at
La Chapelle-Blanche sur Loire, near Tours, where the
body of the martyr St. Honore lately brought from Rome
by the Cure of the Parish was transferred to the shrine of
the Church with the usual solemnities. The Archbishop
of Tours and a great number of clergy were present. A
similar ceremony has also recently taken place at Chinon,
where the body of St. Probus was enshrined in the church.
According to a decision of the Minister of Justice " the
Man without a Name," who has for so many years been
constantly confined and discharged from the prison of
Aix as a vagabond, is again released, and given the
range of the whole town for his residence, but without
liberty of going beyond it.
Another instance of the danger of a too precipitate
interment in France is mentioned by the Pilote de
Calvados. An inhabitant of Caen, engaged in carry-
ing wood and charcoal from Rouen to Paris,
slept one night last week at an inn he constantly fre-
quented. Next morning the people of the house found
him, as they believed, dead in his bed, and a medical
man, called in by the authorities, 'confirmed the con-
viction. He was laid out, and a coffin brought, but as he
was being put into it signs of life were perceived. Means
of resuscitation were used, and in a short time he re-
covered his speech, declaring that he had only been
in a state of epilepsy, and had heard nearly
every thing that passed around him. A short time
afterwards he was again occupied in his bnsiness.
An unfortunate accident occurred at Radon, in the
Ille-et-Vilaine, a few days since. A gentleman and his
wife, with their niece, aged 16, were in a cabriolet
driving along the river side upon a causeway partially
flooded. The horse got out of the right line and went
into the river, where the vehicle was overturned. The
gentleman and his wife supported themselves by some
willows till assistance was given, but their niece was
drowned.
