They were in most cabs nearly round, but slightly flattened on two sides like an apple, with smell holes or indentat ions, reschnbling the place where the stem joins the core, on one side. In less time than it takes to write it, the streets in the lower portion of the city; or that part nearest the river, were covered to the depth of a foot with those wonderful halls of ice, and every window facing the north , from which direction the storm came; filled with broken panes. • "The depth of the hall and water on' Main street was over three feet; and. the heaps of ice in . places were nearly five feet high.

The Wihnington . Conunercial thus pitches into, Cuts up and generally macerates an edi tor who ventures to assail it: Delaerarean;'owiwil and-run by the Saulsbury ring at Pover, says: It may not be amiss to remind the editors of the Commercial', who violate common decency by traducing the State whose laws protect their lives and property. that •it may next be proposed' to enact a law punishing with thirty lashes and a convict's jacket every ingrate editor that comes into the state to encourage a disregard of law by opposing the execution of punishments meted out to criminals.- To which we have to reply: • 1. That the men who most "violate commoti ; :decency,' in this State. are those :—Who enact and Maintain the laws for public dogging and pillorying; Who make drunken and beastly exhibition of themselves in the public streets Wilmington, and In thernittsl States Senate; Who maintain. with a shameless despotism, al their family in public office, and pervert law. decency and justice to keep theme:lves there ; Who load the msvplo with outrageous tax.ation; Who match their ignorance with their meapability to learn; Who corrupt and coerco the law-making-body of the State; Who bully and insult their political allies; and make their party merely a vehicle for their own personal advantage. 2. If the men who most injured this State; destroyed its reputation; stained its name; lowered its credit; injured the value of its property; insulted its lasd citizens; spat upon its National ties; kicked its Union soldiwrs; Marthal. its progress; and in general "traduced" tile name of Itebtware; were to be whipped, there isn't a member of the hover ring, or one of their brothers, brothertoin-law, uncles.sons,uephews, grandsons, cousins. or coutiec t that wouldn't be tied up by the Sheriff on every Saturday' in the year; . and if they had a lash for every dollar they have squeezed from the people's scanty earnings, their backs would be as raw as their sense of propriety.

FreMinformation that hae since relleileti 11S, we are in clined to believe the statement well founded. The de termination of.iipain wag brought about by the Intrhimes of the Emperor of the French, and was based on a com plaint that our Government had been guilty of a viola tion of neutral rights. The 9th of. October, 1553, was fixed upon as the day for commencing hostilities, orders to that effect having already been sent out by the Span- WI Government. That through the active efforts of libe ral Spaniards, devoted friends of our cause as identical with their own, counter orders were sent out by the steamer from Cadiz of September 15,1663, and the whole affair was suppressed. In the present condition of Spaniel' Wince it would be highly imprudent to disclose the names of the persons who rendered us this service. They are all now, since the revolution, prominent public men, and their poid t bine and influence would be seriously compromised by a premature disclosure of their agency in this transae ,tion. But the time will probably come before long when their names I'oll be made known and we can ,award them the acknowledmnimta their friendly ,ervices do sate ~:. ~'_ The Hail-Storm in Wheeling.

As for the colored servitors, they are as atten tiye as they are abundant; when anybody calls or rings a bell, two or three dusky gnomes start at Once front the living mass in the corner, and make for the alarum.

THE PAVE The birds of passage are flown. The sena tors and representatives are, away, and their splendid female camp-follqwers are gone too. Even Miss Vinnie Ream is on the tip-toe of flight. She is just ready to go to Italy, and sits upon her graven images like, Rachel, they be *ng packed up in boxes and ready for the camels. The real Washington comes out, therefore. The camp has moved, the tents are struck, and the natural denizens of the soil come up chirp ing like crickets out of the earth. The pave ment at eventide is tilled with the tripping figures of the lady-clerks, many of them, poor things, going softly about with black drape ries hanging from their foreheads, and sad memories of the war in their hearts. The in dividuality of the city is more pronounced. The elderly gentlemen wear the ceremonious pass sswallow-tail, a little dimgled, like the plu mage of a bird of pass i ge, or like the , suit of a waiter in a ondon chop-house. It is not. the Season for company-inanners. ' The yotmg men, in their immense straw hats, ' decorate the portals of the tobacco-shops.

Evening Bulletin.] PARIS, Tuesday, May 18, 1869.---There„is sudden lull this morning through the whole city, and everything seems to have fallen at once flat and dead, after the unusnal bustle and . excitement of the past week. The reason is that according to the terms of the new law all electoral meetings must cease five days before the opening of the poll, in order to give the electors time to "reflect," or "se receuillir," as it is called Perhaps the less they "reflect" the better upon a good deal they, have heard during the last eight dayS "from socialists, communists and ultra democrats of a " reddish " type. But the above disposition of the law is of that childish char acter which is so essentially French. The go vernment here is alwayS turning itself into a Schoolmaster, and treating the people as its pupils; and by so; loing only exposes itself to ridicule. Thus one .Opposition journal this morning asks why the law did not impose " fasting and prayer" as well as " reflection " during. the next five days. Another proposes that the candi dates should not be allowed to ?how them selves in . the streets during this solemn in terval, for fear of disturbing the "reflections" of their : constituents. And one would really think that the Minister of the Interior was of the latter opinion, for'he has just addressed a circular, so solemn that it reads like a sermon, to all the Prefects, recommending that for the present they should prohibit public meetings .of every kind, even those on agriculture, literature, science or art, lest the speaker should he tempted by the excitement of the moment to "talk poli tics," and so interrupt the train of profound political "reflection" supposed to be going on in the mind of an elector as to whether he should vote for Jules FaVte or the, government candidate. Childish laWs make childish peo ple; and so long as the iniperial regi»eattemPts to.drill.the. nation in this fashion, so long will it find the people ready to break out like mis chieYous school-boys, as soon as ever the re strietionS which fetter them are removed. There have been more disturbances (hiring the last three or four days in those quartets of the city where electoral meetings were being held. But lam convinced that th&T`i Matters are often provoked, or at least.made woes 4,, by the injudicious interference of the authorities.
