 ArriVal of the Great Westcrn-This steamer arri- we'd at New-York on Saturday last bringing dates up to the l6h-Sx Days later from Europe. The most important intelligence by her is that of the sudden death of the Duke of Orleans, heir apparent to the throne of France, caused by leaping from his riage while the horses were running with fright
 His son, the Count de Paris, is but four years old, and the age of Louis Philippe is sixty.nne years who is considered too feeble to survive until his grandson attains his majority. Should he not, Re- gency will of necessity be appointed, which may lead to serious consequences n
 Elections took place on the first inst, in Kentucky for Legislature; in Indiana for Legislature and Coun- ty Officers in Illinois for Governor Legislature and County Officers; in Missouri for members Of Con- gress; and in Alabama for Assembly.
 To-day the election for Governor and members of the Legislature takes place in North Carolina.
 The result of the elections in all of the above nam- ed States is of considerable importance, as U. s. Senator is to be chosen in each.
 On the 9th of September, Vermont holds her State Election, and Maine on the l1lh-Senators are also depending.
 Hail Storm.-The city of New-Haven was visited on Wednesday last by severe hail and rain storm, causing great destruction vnes &c., besides doing considerable damage to window-glass. It was a se- rous time for those citizens whose windows were provided with blinds--and the poor fishes too, who had settled in pond just west of the city, were taken from their peaceful state and at "one fell swoop'' strewn helterske,er about the streets of the city, The Tribune says New-Haven is unequalled in it's shooting stars, meteors, and fish showers.
 The Palladium states that the extended far as Madison, where great damage done to corn, vnes &c., besides breaking several hundred panes of glass.
 The "dreadfM erplosiom," we published last week, of the steamer Flushing, proves untrue Hoaxing the public has become rather too common, particu- ary those which involve the destruction of life. In these times it is hard matter to collect news ruys but who will believe a word of what is p,Dshed, after few such gas instead of seam explosions
 A particular duty mas been required ol us, WHICH sS:e are obliged to comply with but do it with grets;to say that the Park in Weststreet has been corve..ee<;ato q pasture for the accommodation of horses and cattle f the shades of '39 could appear and show the objects for which that Park was inten- ded, and had been kept guarded against such lnva- sion sufficient amount of hay would have been sold to paint that suffering fence. Who withhold good laugh at seeing a we'll disposed neghbor make his interesting nag leap over the railing into the Park and then put letters he poor beast to Keep him in ? There some thrifty young trees growing too and if our neighbors' animals are in danger of star vation it may be right to let them feed there, but would it not be as well, if the in fair way of living, to give Men equal chance also ;?
 WooDv1LLE rs. WooDvILLE.-Last week pub lshed singular statement of the growth of seuen ty.fre stalks of Rye (from Woodville from seed, and thought large of that. This week we have re- ceived similar wonder but altogether more mar vellous There were in this cluster" one Hundred and Mrsysir staks-all from seed! (accordiug 10 our reporter,) and taken from the farm of Mr. John Hull of Woodville. Our worthy informant says, from calculation, the amount of grain if regularly threshed and cleaned, would be "two quarts, more or less!!' According to this calculation, if two quarts of grain could be gathered from seed, it would require the sowing of but siLieen seeds to raise bushel "more or less" How would Railroad do in such growing place?
 We have few Bankrupt Notices, which we are compelled to defer till next week, when they will appear, and in full time to be legal
 Lou1srAvA.-We have New Ofleans dates to the 2Oh. Their tenor is still better. Natchitoches, which gives Mouton 27l majority, has elected one 'Whg to the Legislature, increasing majority in joint ballot to g. and Ouchita and another hope ful parish to hear from. The Whig majority in the Legislature is larger than ever before.
 For Congress- Moore. Whig. has 264 majority over Bryce, (Loco) in Il parishes to hear from Moore chance is decidedly the better. Ia Caddo, MOuton has IFS majority; Bryce2 ?. In Claiborne, Mouton l2l; Bryce 64, &c.-7ribune.
 MT Editor, please publish this fact. An old lady who has great faith in the Miller doctrine that the Millennium will take place in l843, remarked in the presence of a number of Lawyers, that she suppo sed at that time the devil would be confined thou sand years-when one replied, if he should, his friends in Wall-street would bail him out under a
