BRIGHTON, MAY 4.—On Monday it blew a hurricane here, and the wind did considerable damage. We hear that a sailor was literally blown off the deck of a vessel belonging to Mr. Bass, of this town, and drowned. Another person was blown over the cliff near Kemp Town, and lie was taken to the County Hospital seriously injured. Women and children were blown down on the cliff, and large sheets of lead, weighing several hundred weight, in two or three places were lifted off the houses and carried into the street by the violence of the wind. About forty trees in Lord Chichester's park were torn up by the roots. James Brant, Esq., has. ust been appointed his Majesty's Consul at Erzeroum, a Turkish city, nearly on the frontiers of Persia, and 170 miles inland from Trebizond, at which latter town Mr. Brant has hitherto been the English Consul.. Mr. Brant was presented at the last levee on his appointment to the newly created consulate. .  A very numerous meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Duckett, Morland, and Co., late bankers of Pall-Mall, was held yesterday morning before Mr. Commissioner Evan's, for the proof of debts and tho declaration of a dividend upon the joint estate ; when a nutiabr of debts to a considerable amount having been proved, the further proceedings were adjourned for a -fortnight. . . .  A dramatic scene took place a few days ago, in the Court of Assizes at Rennes. A prisoner, named Charrier, was found guilty of having murdered a student named Ledieu, in a quarrel in which several were engaged. When the Procureur-General called upon the Court to pronounce sentence of hard labour at the hulks for life, Laperche, the brother-inlaw of Charrier exclaimed, " This is too bad; you are going to condemn an innocent man ; I alone am guilty." The Court, however, had no alternative, and the sentence was pronounced. Laperche was arrested, and underwent a very long examination.  We understand that the arrests which took place a few days ago are all connected with the clandestine manufactory of gunpowder discovered durinr, March. It was nothing to do with fresh conspiracies; the traces of the powder-manufactory plot have been followed, and all its ramifications discovered.— Temps. On the 10th November, 1833, some human bones were found beneath the soil on the slope of a hill near Cornyeigne, fifteen feet below a road which led, half way up the hill, through an uncultivated and lowly spot, called the Cavee de l'Arc, about three quarters of a league from the high road from Paris to St. Quenten. On the fact becoming known to the police, Dr. Villette was sent for, who, after a careful exr.rnination, declared that the bones had belonged to a boy of eight years of age, whose death must have occurred from fifteen to twenty years before. Inquiries were made at the time and subsequently, but no light was cast on the subject, and suspicions of foul play were entertained. These suspicions have recently been changed into certainty. On the 16th of April last, another skeleton was found in the Cayce de l'Arc, apparently that of a robust individual. It was discovered only a few paces from the spot where the search was made in 1833. The soil, being very sandy, had been und: rmined in order more readily to get at the bones of the child, and subsequent rains having cansed the ground to fall away, disclosed the second skeleton, which must have belonged to a man of five feet six inches in height, and from thirty to fcrty years of age, to judge ,from the nature of the head and the perfect state of the teeth, which were very fine and regular. No fracture was apparent on the skull, or on any of the other bones; but a heavy stone had been placed on the head, which it had no doubt injured. No doubt exists that the Cavee de l'Arc has been made the scene of a double crime, arid 'opinion inclines to the belief that the murdered persons were strangers in the country...... French Paper.
