The Storm.—We fear that much injury has been done to the grain of the surrounding country by the violent storm on Saturday. The wind here blew a hurricane, and, in addition to the melancholy accident detailed above, the roofs of two houses in Albemarle street, near the corner of Water, were blown off. The roofs were of tin, which were lifted up and thrown with great violence against a tree on the opposite side of the street and broke it off by the roots. We have not heard that any person was injured by this accident.

P. S. Since the above was in type we learn that Mr. Taney's condition is much improved, and that the numerous friends who have assiduously attended him entertain great hopes of his eventual recovery.
