meat has arrived here. •
LEIPSIG, AUG. 15.—Their Majesties the King and
Queen arrived here yesterday from Dresden His Ma-
jesty mingled among the people, and was heartily wel-
comed by them. The King promised to have the strictest
investigation made into the late greets, and consoled the
relatives of the persons killed with the prospect of being
provid, d for. His Majesty then went to the hospital
and conversed with the wounded. It might easily be
imagined what a soothing effect this generous conduct
of his Majesty had on the people. TheLeipsig journals
and letters say nothing of the arrival of their— Majesties.
CASSEL, AUG. 11.—A Cabinet order of the Electoral
Prince Regent has been received here, by which the
formatien of German communities is prohibited in
the whole Electoral of Hesse Cassel. Instructions were
immediately sent from the department of the interior
to ail the provincial governments to carry this order
into effect without delay. The propagation of the
doctrines of the New Catholics is forbidden, and the
police are to take care that no subscriptions and col-
lections in their favour are set on foot in Hesse Cassel.
Whoever acts in violation of this prohibition renders
himself liable to prosecution and puuishment.
BERLIN, AUG. 15.—0 n the 13th of this month, a
Rescript was addresed to the censers, most
wrictly enjeiniog them to refuse their imprintateur to all
paragraphs which contain the most distant allusion to
religious matters in their periodicals, which are not ex-
pressly authorised by their licence to treat of religious
controversies. -
THE HAGUE. ArG. 22.—The journals contain nume-
rous accounts of the ievaseition caused in various parts
by a hurricane or waterspout that came from the South.
The following are extracts :
" LIEGE ZWALUW, Aro. 19.—T0-day about half past
five o'clock in the afternoon we had a furious hurricane
or waterspout from the South-west, which beat down
several large and strong barns, some to the very founda-
tion, from the house of the Burgomaster to that of
Bastian de Vigel. The houses, too, have suffered enor-
mous damage, the roofs were carried away, the windows
dashed to pieces, and many are so much injured that they
are in danger of falling.
It is impossible to estimate the damage, for not only
the stock in the barns, but also what corn was mown
and still in the fields, was taken up and scattered far
and near.
" We hear that the same hurricane, accompanied by a
thunder storm, raged • at Zevenherger, and did mueh
damage. The Roman Catholic Church, in particular,
suffered much damage."
Ammaram, AUG. 21.—There was good reason to
fear that we should receive melancholy accounts of the
effects of the violent hurricane which arose in the after-
noon of Tuesday, the 19th, and continued through the
night and the following day. The immediate environs
of this city have not remained free. We do not hear that
any damage worth mentioning has been done, except the
uprooting of a few trees.
AARLENDERVEEN, AUG. 20.—A waterspout did great
damage here yesterday. On the road near Alphen it
tore up a bridge, and threw it to a great distance. A
farmhouse was much injured, and many large trees up-
rooted. A small vessel on the Rhine, on board which
were a man and his wife and three children, was turned
upside down. The mast of it was fixed in the bed of
the river. The parents and two children were thrown
into the Rhine under the vessel, and saved with much
difficulty ; the third, a girl eleven years old, seems to
have been below in the cabin, and perished. We may
thank Providence that the waterspout did not pass over
the parts of the populous districts of Alphen, Aarlan-
derveen, &c., which are more covered with buildings.
The accounts from Zeviubergen are of a similar na-
ture ; more damage seems to have been done there, and
it was feared that several lives were lost. A child was
found buried under the ruins, a carpenter is missing,
and a servant was found dead in a barn.
THE HAGUE, AUG. 21.—We learn that their Majes
ties the King and Queen will set out to-morrow on their
intended visit to Luxemburg. A part of their attend
ants have already left the Hague.
