HURRICANE IN PARIS.
Columns of the French papers are fiVed with details of many accidents which occurred during the hurricane in Paris on March 26. The gala raged with more or less fury all through the day. Houses were unroofed and trees blown down. In the afternoon the storm was at its height, and it was in the garden of the Tuileries that the worst accident occurred. A terrific gust, almost approaching a hurricane, snapped one of the large trees skirting the Quay at the moment when a poor woman was passing beneath it. The unfortunate creature received the falling t’’ nber on her head, her skull being
crue’ly fractured. ‘ The concierge of the” PaviDion de Flore was likewise buried under the debris, but he luckily escaped with only a few bruises. The woman was at o-rce removed to the.

' Several persons were injured by facing tiles and timber. A boat, with fiva men on board, was twamped near the Pont de Percy, but the men were fortunately saved. A more disastrous gale has not been experienced in Paris for many years.
