On the Both ult., throughout the central part Of New England, there was violent thunder storm, amounting in many places to a tornado In Boston, the streets were covered with hail stones some of them an inch in diameter. Near Salem, twenty-nine barns and numerous other houses were blown down, and hail fell six and half inches in circumference. In other places, large trees were twisted of like reeds thousands panes of glass were shattered to fragments, and several lives lost. In New York the storm was very severe for few minutes Two ho''- ses were struck by lightning, and one woman was killed. In many sections the crops were destroyed as effectually as though fire had swept over the fields. ..

INCIDENTS OF TRAVELS IN CENTRAL AME- RICO, CHIAPAiAN YUcArAN--By John L. Ste phens.-This splendid work has been put forth from press of the Iarpers. It has been 50 well received at the North that new edition will have to be print ed. We hope our booksellers will soon receive it. The New York Evening Post, says of it: '.
 "We have been absorbed for the last two days, in the two splendid volumes, with which the Messrs. Hampers were kind enough to furnish us, that our readers were being depr,yed of that daily DOT tion fp,bulum, which it IS our business to furnish them. We cannot call to mind, book that we have real with more eagemess and pleasure. The nature ofthe subject, and the agreeable manner in which it is treated, conspire to invest the work with all the exciting interest of a romance. The fine drawings made by Mr. Catherwood contribute greatly to the value of the narrative.
 sBut we must reserve criticism of the book to some other time, and in the meanwhile, present readers with few extracts" .. 44

 Our report of Clays speech the bank, is the only fully given by any paper, and must say that it exhibits very little of that accurate or comprehensive knowledge of finance or banking, which his admirers clam for him.

 Interesting btography. Samuel GOuyerneur, Esq, Is engaged m writing the biography of Jas Monroe, winch will probably be of the most interesting that has been published in this country. Mir, Goa- vernenr being the sonin-law of hlr. Monroe, and having had bequeahed 10 him all the papers ot that ilnstrous statesman, will be enabled to accomplish his undertaking with singular advantages. The fol- lowing will be one of the interesting passages.
 " hen Mr. Monroe was minister from the United States at Paris, and when Gen La Fayette was con fined in tie prison al Ohnuti, by the Emperor of Austria information WIS brought hiln, that Madame LaFayetie, the Generals wife was thrown into pr- son, and no doubt in afew days would follow the iate of her mother and grand .nuther at the guotne, Mr. Monroe alone could save her, and that Paris was then in the hands of the mob, il could only be plished ny arouslng the sympathies of the people. The destruction of life had been such every state of society where opulenee was perceptibe, that to a- void certain death, all uxuries and splendor we're hid aside; and the wealthy, instead of riding in their equpages, either walked UT rode in the iserable hicles of the city.
 IL therefore, created great sensation when the splendid elulp6ge of the American Ministers car rage appear ed at the gate of tue prison, and his lady informed the keeper that she had come to the wife of Gen. La Fayette. Such call at such time was like electricity. The news spread in all dlrec- lions, and before Mrs Monroe drove from the prison, thousands had collected around her carnage and the feelings ecited by the meeting of two such females III sucH u Situdiion arrested the axe oi tc eAtou- toner and eventually set the captive free. The feel ings of Col Monroe cannot be realized during ihe ab- scnce his wife. He couhl not accompany her, as that would have enumerated the feeling he knew must be awakened to save the prisoner. When Ma dame La Fayette met Mrs. Monroe, she was in a state ofperfect phrenzy supposing that she was led out execution, and when she found herself em- braeed by the Lady of the American Minister, with in the walls of that gloomy prson where but a few days previously had been led forth to execution her mother and grand mother, it a long time before she could realize her situation. Mrs. Monroe as sured her she should be saved and that her husband had determined to rsque all if it become necessary to accomplish her deliyerance.

PROGRESS OF THE SUIT AGAINST MIR. BID- DLE.-On Saturday last, the writ which wus issued some weeks ago, at the suit of the Bank of the Uni ted States against Nicholas Riddle, delivered to the Sheriff, and served,
 To-day being the first Monday of the month, is the return day in the District Court, in which the suit is instituted, and it would seem, therefore, that for some reason, the writ has been detained from the hands of the sheriff until the last moment. Wheth the object of the delay was to afford the defendant every opportunity to furnish account of the i'm mense sums of money abstractcd from the vaults of the Bank, and thus obvate the necessity for the vice of the writ, not informed; but from the character of Mr. Rawe, and other legal gentlemen whom he has associated with hm in the prosecution of the business, we led infer that the procras- tination was induced by this motive. If such tesy and honorable forbearance has been thrown away upon the defendant, that further lem ity will be exsrcised and that the investigation will proceed as the rules of law alow.-[Pennsy lvanian

 From the following article from the New Orleans Bee, we regret learn that that city has been visited by several destructive conAagrations, and that al members of No. l3 have been very seriously af- fected by their exertions and exposure on the occa- sion: - ~.-s.. 't
 FIREs.-Since our last publication, no less than three fires have occurred The first broke out on Saturday night about IF o'clock in St Peter street, 1st municipality in the house of Mir. Holmes. It was soon extinguisbed without further damage than the destruction of part of the occupants furniture.
 The second alarm was given at o'clock yesterday morning. The fire proved to be in Circus street, be- tween Girod and Julia. Five large twostory frame houses, three in front and two in the rear, tally destroyed, by which large number of poor families were rendered entirely destitute.
 The flames had not been subdned when smoke was seen issuing from house m Lafayette near the june ton of that city with the second municipality. The fire originated in grocery store on the Leyee in the block on this side of Jackson street. When the fire men reached the spot the ravages of the destructive element had already been great nor were they arres ted uatil nearly the entire block in ashes. Not witbstandng the strenuous exertons of the different companies, the material of the dwellings consumed were so light and susceptible of confagration, that human aid was necessarily confined to preserving the adjoining bock. It was at one time feared that mo- thing could prevent most disastrous confagraton. We presume that about l5 front houses were des- troyed, together with the buildings in the rear, and the progress of the flames was arrested by tearing down the remainder of the block. fff .' We regret to add that the intense heat and unwea- red efforts of the remen sccasioned several severe coups de solsil No less than members of No. l3 were taken ill, several of whom were taken to the Hospital. mftell rel1 c}

It is said that Mir. Bulleit the editor of the New Orleans Bee has been solicited to take charge of new paper at Washington, which is to he the organ sf the Tyler party. There must be some error in this, for the Bee is decidedly Clayish all over, and seems to thlnk very meanly of the abilities of Mir Ewing. It says:-
 "It is with lively regret that we perceive the pro- bability of MT, Clays bank bll-so just, satisfac tory, so explicit, true to the constuton--being superseded by the imperfect project of the Secretary of the Treasury. Il is with su deeper sorrow that we observe indications of possibility of defeat oi both these fiscal schemes. Fearful will bs the ac- count to be rendered to the country, should the re- presentatives of the people separate without uniting on some project for the collection and disbursement of the public money" ta
 * * fUl.*
 eLet it (Mr. Ewings plan) be so adjusted, if you will, as to compel Mir. Tyler to give it his sanction but let it, in all other respects, be such bill sa- gacity, experience, financial knowledge, and con sultation with those who are familiar with the subject, can make it. If we must have Mir. Ewing's bantling, prop up its ricketty form and inuse into it as far as possible, the principle of health."
