The foll, , eing account is from ia Gentleman who was a passenger in one of the Lon ! don coaches, going to Exeter :.--66 About eight I o'clock on Thursday night, when within two miles of WoonvAres Inn, on Salisbury. Plain, a tremen dous storm of thunder and lightning commenced, and lasted, with little intermission, tillehree o'clock next Imorning.—lt is impossible for the pen to describe, or ' the imagination to paint, any thing so awfully terri.: , fie. The earth and atMosphere, for miles roitad, seemed one continued volume of liquid fire. Dcer and cattle were scattered in every direction along the road ; and every thing seemed to portend a total dis, vilution of the whole system. Them were fourteen I outside passengers, and six inside, in the coach above t alluded to; and, just before they reached WOODYAYY'S I i Inn, the electric fluid struck a young man on the i oof iof the coach, and killed him -on the spot. He be. I longed to the Ocri:y.; man of. war, and had ben to visit his friends in London.: he was 22 years of age. I His comrade, who sat beside him, W:l5 injured in the ii arm.; Three of the coach-horses were also struck I down, and one of them killed on the spot. The I coat es, wage Ons, and every other vehicle, staid at ''W YATT'S I an,..l4eing unable to proceed. One Gent man, an inside passenger, had a cotton hand kerch of burnt off his head by the lightning." Thursday night and Friday morning, the neigh s bourlitood of Lewes was visited by a heavy storm. The lightning was almoit incessant. for several hours, r and extremely vivid. The hailstones did considerable damage. At Glynde, Mr. Eliman estimates his loss at 4150. At Fyrle, Lord Gage sustained the greatest injury. At Tarring, Mr. Biggs liad 6 panes of glass broken, and a great deal of barley and wheat cut off. Some of the hailstones were nearly as large as walnuts. Several rooks, killed by the storm, .were on Friday picked up under some trees near Glyne-bridge. Cu ELTENUAM, Auousr 17.—Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, a tremendous storm of hail and wind passed over the valley of Charlton, near this I .town. . The gale was preceded by unusual heat, and accompanied with heavy thunder and lightning. The hailstones were of an extraordinary size ; and the ''.writer of this. paragraph, with Mr. Andrews, happen .ing to b. at a small farm (late the Gutterfall), was !.enabled to'verify the following facts :—the hailstones - were generally mime!, and somewhat lag per than a ' mu ket bullet, bait amongst theta w.,; e others of va rious shapes, they 'acing in fact 1. eiles of ice.

NEWC7 AST T.E.—During the I.lst week we have been frequently visited .with ti:undur and lightning, accom panic ! with a v.:st quantity of rain. On. Friday night the rain fell in .a continued torrent for several hours, and the morning of Saturday presented a distressing scene among several of :he. inhabitants in thelower ports of the town. Those in New Pandon and Cow. gate arv:ar to have suffered most, some of whose lions-; were ;a:ll:dated to the :I.:_pth of from three to fmr ket. A boy, named George Innes, aged five v. , ars, (son of George !Lures, smith, Pandon-gate) had a wonderful escape from drowning. Wading Amon- , 0 others in New Pandon, he was swept away by the current, and carried full 330 yards (250 of whi . ch were an inclosed conduit) down towards the river. In the passage is a water-fall of five yards, directly under that part of the town's walls which divides Messrs.

MILLINiGAR, Jes. 7 29s—tester:lay mine on to be tried before the Right Honourable the LORD Cusat JUSTICE, the prisoner, Joseith Lmaghasr, Attorney.— He stood charged tin three se: end indictments : the Arse, for uttering a certain forgeddecd of assignMeri4 with intent to defraud, knowtree it to be forged : the second, for subornation of perjury, by procuring a witnets to swear to the due execution of it :—and the third, for a conspiracy to defraud one James Grady, by procuring a verdct unlawfully to be had against him, on a certain trial in ejectment, -on which, trial said forged deed was ey.hibited. • The facts attending this - nefarious and wicked plot. were shortly these :—The prisoner, acting as attorney for one Maurice Finegan, and being also concerned , with, and interested for, one George Russell the elder, and also for George Rt.tsell his son ; did, in order to defend Finegan against an ejectment brought by said Grady for the recovery . of certain latids, called Ard- buckan, in this county, anCl*ied at the last Assize:, contrive that a certain deed - of assignment of sai I lands, between George Russell the elder, and George Russell the younger, really ekeinted in the year 1809, shortly before the trial in ejectment, shoull bear date _ , and appear to be executed in the month of March, - 1802, for the purpose of defeating a lease made by George Russell the elder to said Grady, and estab lishing a lease made by George Russell the younger to said Finegan ; such deed of assignment appearing to be executed in 1802, depriving George the elder of the power of.makiag said lease to Grady—;aid as signment, if really executed in 1802, being prior to the lease to Grady. This assignment being so antedated, it appeared the prisoner next contrived that it should seem to be duly witnessed, and accordingly had the name of Peter .M‘Gawley affixed to it as a witness, and one Richard Mathews .witneseed it, the former of whom being • stated to be dead, Mathews attended at the trial in ejectment, and proved that the said assignment was duly executed in.his presence, and in that of the said *Cawley, on the day (17th March, 1802) when it bore date, to which, and other false swearing on said trial, it appear-0 he was urged and suborned by the prisoner. The 11:clictment for the conspiracy was also fully established. It, was contended by the prisoner's Counsel, that the mere antedating the deed was not a forgery, and that the production of it by the Priso , ner, as attorney, on the trial, was not an uttering and publishing it within the statute. These points were, however, ruled againit the prisoner, and the case being most clearly and plainly established, as well by other proofs as the prisoner's own letters t 9 said Russell, a most respectable Jury, without liesitee tion, convicted the prisoner on all the indictments._ The Learned JUDGE expatiated at length on, den enormity of the prisoner's offences, dangerous to so ciety, and degrading to his preoression,and which every man must feel strives at the comforts and well.being of society. Doubte.llaving arisen as to the length of time far which the prisoner could be transported, the Learned Judge' postponed pronouncing the sentence on the indictments tor uttering the forgery, and for subornation of perjury, fill the opinion of die Judges be had on the construction of the statute, intending, as his lordship exprisled. to pronounce the severest judgment the law will warrant t and, on the third indictment,. &retell that the prisoner slisfajd,b)i im prisoned one year, and three times public)/
