Destructive Hailstorm in France and Belgium.?The French journals are still filled with the details of damage caused by the hailstorm oi the 8th of July. The Journal dt Rouen says the price of glass in that city has advanced in consequence some thirty per cent., and great difficulty is experienced in procuring workmen to make the necessary repairs. The total loss to that city and environs is estimated at eighteen hundred thousand francs. Over 2,700 panes were broken in the Hotel de Ville, and in the whole city not less than 100,000 panes. The most serious and irreparable injury was done to the churches of Notre Dome, Saint Ouen, Bon Sccour, &c., which have been badly damaged by the torrents which succeeded. All the glass in the "Jardin des Plantes" was also broken. This storm extended also to Belgium, and the Brussels papers give us scarcely lesi terrible accounts. In its course it has everywhere prostrated large trees, and destroyed the crops, Some of the hailstones, gathered after it had pass ed, weighed more than two ounces. Birds in great numbers have been found dead in the fields. From the Provinces.?The Admiral, from St! John, arrived yesterday afternoon, and Colonel Favor furnished us with St. John papers of Monday, and other late journals. The Fictou Chronicle of the 26th ultimo has the following: "H. M. S Devastation left on Sunday morning for the fishing grounds. The last English mail brought intelligence of Captain Campbell'i promotion, and it is reported that he will leave this station, and that Lieutenant Do Horsey, of the flagship, will be promoted to the command of the Devastation. "The drought of the past week has been excessive. On Saturday the thermometer stood at 94 in the shade, and in the sun nearly 130. On Sunday thore were several refreshing showers, that have very much improved the appearance of the country; but there is yet need of more. Haying is generally begun; this article of produce will be scarce and high in consequence of the drought. It is now selling at < 3 per ton, driven groen trotr the field." There were in Itiehibiicto harbor on the 23il ultimo six Prussian, four American, three British, one Hanoverian, and two new ships. [Boston Courier, 14th.

The Niagara sailed for Boston about noon, after 1 taking in her supply of coal. The United States ships Vincennes, John Hancock, Portland, and Porpoise were at Madeira on ' the 7th of July. The ship Fenimore Cooper was ' also there. * It is reported that the Cxar of Russia has ac- < cepted the terms proposed by the French, and consequently all the markets are brisk. 1 Nothing later has been received with regard to < the Hungarian refugee, Colonel Kossta. ' It is reported that Lord PalmerBton will soon take the office of Secretary of Foreign Affairs, , the Earl of Clarendon exchanging for the homo department. The Earl of Portsmouth's death is announced, i FRANCE. It is reported that the condition of the Empress Eugenie required a postponement of the contemplated visit to the Pyrenees. The Paris press consider the Eastern question j as being definitely settled. The Porte has paid into the French treasury ' the price demanded for the 40,000 rifles furnished 1 him. i The number of persons arrested for being im- , plicated in the supposed conspiracy to assassinate ( the Emperor at the opera is over 200. Switzerland intends making certain diplomatic representations to Franee. Austria will send a Minister to France instead of a Charge. * -RUSSIA. The Russian Chancellor is said to have declared to the French Ambassador that the Czar will welcome the arrangement held out for his acceptance. The only delay in completing the negotiation would be occasioned by the necessity of obtaining the consent of Austria, which is said to be already on the way to St. Petersburg. TURKEY. A rumor was circulated in Paris that the American Minister at Constantinople had addressed a note to the Porte, announcing that the United States would support Turkish integrity and henceforth claim a voice in the affairs of Europe. It has been telegraphed from Constantinople, under date of lltli of July, that a conciliatory note had been issued by Rcschid Pasha, of a nature calculated to bring the pending negotiations with Russia to an immediate conclusion. The English and French fleets were still in Bcsica bay. A semi-official correspondent says that the conduct of the commander of the United States ship St. Louis in the KoBsta affair, at Smyrna, has excited an indescribable indignation in tho minds of all the consuls and well-disposed population of Smvrna. It is also said that the Austrian bricr-of war Artenusa in continually hovering around the American corvette. An American steamer was expected to arrive at Smyrna soon, it being pretty evident that Captain Stringliam represents the feeling of the American nation. AUSTRIA. A domiciliary visit has been made to the correspondents of the London Times at Vienna. Several arrests followed. The Austrian Cabinot had received a telegraph despatch from Berlin, dated the 20th, stating that the Czar had actuallv accepted the proposals offered by Franco and England. This report had caused considerable improvement in the French and English funds. Seven cart loads of Hungarian prisoners were recently taken into Pesth. Their offence was not known. ITALY. The sentence of Guerrazzas has been commuted to perpetual banishment. Count BoncaBsa has been imprisoned at Naye, . for treason. A despatch from Milan says that the Austrian police were on the trial of a projected insurrection in Central Italy. BAVARIA. The Bavarian government has announced an intention of holding a World's Fair at Munich next year. SWITZERLAND. Austria continues to block the Swiss frontier as vigorous as ever. BARBARY. The Bey of Tunis has forbidden exportations of breadstufls from the Barbary States, in consequence of an apprehended deficiency in the crops. MARKETS. Liverpool, July 23.?The Baltics's advices had a favorable effect on the cotton market, and a 1 large business has been doing at firm prices.

Greenoucii's Statuart?The brig Ottar Gull Iras arrived at the Washington navy yard, bringing from Italy Greenough's group of statuary, representing a scene in American frontier life? a white settler rescuing his wife from the assault of a merciless savage. It is to be placed on the east portico of the Capitol, opposite to the ligures ofColumbus and the Indian maiden. About eighteen months ago a United States storeslhp was despatched to Italy for the purpose of bringing the group hither, but the hatchway of the vessel was too small to admit it, and the commander would not permit the opening to be enlarged. The Navy Department, however, provided the Ottar Gull for the purpose; and we now have tha^gratificntion to announce that the work of art has safely arrived. It will soon be transferred from tho vessel to the pedestal which it is to occupy. The Crystal Palace.?Several days ago we suggested that the proprietors of the railroad companies between Washington and New York would iiud it much to their advantage to issue round-trip tickets between those points during tho continuance of the exhibition, placing the fare at the lowest rates. There are hundreds of persons within tho District of Columbia, and thousands without, who would gladly avail themselves of such an arrangement, and thus add largely to the receipts of the companies; whereas, under the stationary prices, they will remain at home. We trust that the public desire in tho particular mentioned will be gratified. x he "^oloiikd i opulation. ?According 10 the census of 1820 there were in this city one thousand nine hundred and forty-five slaves; in 1850 two thousand one hundred and thirteen; or, during a period of thirty years, a clear increase of only one hundred and sixty-eight, while the number of free negroes has increased from one thousand six hundred and ninety-six to eight thousand and seventy-three?a clear increase of six thousand three hundred and eighty-seven. The aggregate population was, in 1820, thirteen thousand two hundred and forty-seven?the free nogroes constituting about one-eighth part of it. In 1850, with an aggregate population of forty thousand and one, the free colored population formed about one-fifth. The colored population, free and slave, is now more than one-fourth that of the white. The corporate authorities have endeavored to prevent the influx of free negroes from the adjoining States; but the laws are either faulty in their provisions or the police officers derelict in duty. Bond and security, and the payment of an amount of money annually, rarely can be ob. tained of those "colored people" who, coming hither, prefer the capital of the country for a permanent residence. Daily there are accessions to the population, both from without and within th? municipal limits?the latter naturally to be expected. . Although there are not a few worthless free negroes, there are some who conduct themselves with propriety and credit, and thus secure the respect which good conduct ever elicits. These! have earnestly engaged in the work of education, encouraged, in many instances, by their white neighbors. It is no uncommon thing to see crowds of colored children on their way to day as well as Sabbath school; and, according to our information, "they make much progress in their >> aiuuico. The Match Race over the Columbia Trotting Course, yesterday afternoon, was largely attended ; the weather being fine and the horses entered having a good reputation. The trotting was for two hundred dollars, and fifty added by the proprietor; inile heats, best three in five, to skeleton wagons "Scottie," of Philadelphia, entered by George Nelson, triumphed over his competitor, "Doctor," of New York, entered by J. L. Doty. Tho best time made was two minutes and fifty-two seconds. There was much attendant excitement, and the trotting was esteemed most excellent, as we learn from a lover of "fast horses" who never fails to be present on such occasions. Small Silver Change.?There is much complaint about the scarcity of silver change for ordinary business transactions, and what we have is, for the most part, (exclusive of threo cent pieces,) of foreign stamp. We hear much about the new American coinage, but see little or none of it in this vicinity. Morbid Curiosity?A gentleman informs us that while he was on his way to Baltimore, yestcrdaj' morning, a largo number of persons, including women and children, got into the cars at nlnPfiH nn till* lini*. fnr tli#> nnmnsn nf* ing conveyed to that city to see the unfortunate youth, Connor, hanged. Captain Isaac Watts Griffith, of Iowa, who lost an arm at Churubueco, has been appointed by the Commissioner of Public Buildings one of the Capitol police, in the place of Mr. John W. Jones, of Ohio. This gentleman was an efficient and courteous officer, but a "political necessity" demanded his removal. Christf.nino.?Among the incidents of a Sunday school picnic at Arlington recently, was the christening of a little boy by a minister, who pronounced the name of the child to be Clarence Arlington. G. W. P. Cust.is was present at the cele. bration of tho ordinance. NOTICK.?The members of the Mercantile Library Association are hereby notified that the reading rooms of the Association will be open ed on Tuesday, 26th instant, from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock, a. rn., and from 4 o'clock to 10 o'clock, p m.
