House of Lords in again rejecting the bill relieving
the jews from their political disabilities and ena-

the old Norman spirit, which put the of Isrsel

their gold, has not yet become extinct The spirit
of religious liberty is not yet supreme in Great

HsAyY Hall SToRM.-On Friday evening last
Lewisburg, Va, and vicinity was visited by most
destructive hailstorm, which resulted in almost
entire humiliation of the whole vegetable and
growing crops. The Era says:
For the space of at least fifteen minutes large
hailstone5 continued to fall without abatement,
literally stripping the gardens and fields of all
growing matter, and leaving them almost entirely
worthless. Fortunately the tornado not very
extensive in being confined principally to this
vicinity, and extending but short distance into
the country. Cur t0wnsman, James NithrnT,
Esq, seems to have suffered more than any one
else as his fields contiguous to the town. His
loss by the storm cannot be less than 1900, and it
may exceed that amount His cat field, which pro
missed yield of near 1000 bushels is complete
loss Dr. McElhoBney is also sufferer by The
storm to a considerable extent. They have the
sympathie5 of the community.
Some of the stones which fell were very large
We have heard Of some measuring at least five
inches in circumference. In some spots, the hail
was in piles II and Is inches in depth which re
manned the ground, in places, for more than
twenty-four hours. 1t is generally conceded that
the extent and destruCtyeness of this torn is
without precedent in this county.
