GREAT STORM AT NICE.—The Avenir of Nice states
that a tremendous ►hurricane of wind, accompanied by
torrents of rain, burst ovsr that town and neighbourhood
a few days ago. Long rows of trees, some of them nearly
100 years old, were torn u p by the roots, ticke of corn were
thrown down and scattered in all directione, the roofs of
a number houses torn off, and the windows blown in.
The gardens were c Hapletely devastated, and in fact
everything which ley in the line taken by the hurricane
was more or less injured. The damage caused by this
visitation is very coeeideraLle.
CONTINENTAL BAGGAGE.--We understand that the
Lords of the Treasury aed Boat d of Customs have sanc•
tioned a cousiderabls extension of the system of baggage
registration by tho South-Eastern Railway, so that bag-
gage from Paris, as well as hotel Brussels, Cologne, and
other towns, by all train,?, can henceforth, after the Ist
of November, be ?secured from Customs' interference
until arrival at London, independent of the other advan-
tages of the system. This c incession, in addition to the
facilities hitherto in operation for regietering to the con-
tinent, will enable passengers to register their baggage
either way by the day services as well as by the night
mail trains, and make a useful addition to the existing
means of international communisation. The Govern-
meet departments concerned have shown a most laudable
desire to keep pace with the requirements of the public
in this matter.
