The thunder-ftorm.lafled two hours and a half, and was fucceeded by a dreadful hail ; the Rones being of the !Ise of a pullet's egg. The damage done to the corn, as far as the hail ex. tended, being a circle of about four or five English miles, is dreadful the whole country where it paired prefents a fcene of dcfolation.

About 'half pal fix yetterday afternoon, part of the parapet on the top of one of the embrafures of St. Duntlan's Church, Fleet-greet, weighing near ly two hundred weight, by fome accident gave way, and fell on the pavement. Unluckily a poor foldier, paffing at the time, was very much Burt by the rebounding of the fragments of this ?miry gone, which hruifed his right foot in fuch a man ner as, without amputation, will endanger his life. Wednefday night a fire broke ont in the (tables of Gerrard's Hall, Bating-lane, which confumed a quantity of hay and ilraw contained therein, be. fides materially injuring the premifes. Of ten honks which were in the (tables, three fell viaims to the flames, and the remainder were with diffi culty laved. On Sunday fc'nnight in the evening, an alarm ing fire broke nut in the iron works of Meas. Jar rat, Dawfon, and Hardy, at the Low Moor, near Bradford. It burnt with great fury, and foon reached the roof of their great ca houfe, which falling in, of courfc deftroyed the cranes, &c. con neaed with it ; but owing to the calmnefs of the evening, and the aaive exertions of the numerous workmen who were foon afembled, it was pre vented from extending beyond the building where it was at firft difcovered. Happily no lives were loft, nor any perfon hurt. The Gentleman who had Co fingnlar an efcape from being dallied to pieces at Broadflairs, as men tioned in this Paper of yefterday, was Capt. LaiNo of the army. The following are the particulars of this remarkable circumftance.—On Saturday laft, the Captain, who, with his mother, has lodgings at Broadftairs, driving his gig down the road from St. Peter's, into the village, the animal, by come accident, took fright in coming down the hill, ran with great violence pall the corner in the open greet, and took for the Parade on the beach, which is diratly oppofite. In the fmall diftance between 1 the high road and the Parade is au lion bar placed acrofs the railing, to prevent carriages pall ng ; the Captain, knowing this railing, crouched in the 1 chaife, which paired within an inch of th e t o p, an d of his head ; within four yards was the cliff, on the edge of which was.a lirong railing, upon reach. ing which the horfe made a bold leap over it, but the ftrong poll of the railing caught one of the wheels of the chaife, by which means the Ihafts l were broken off lhort, the horfe and harnefs pre cipitated into the tea, and the chaife and driver left behind. I; is moll happy for Mr. LAING thin the e horfe attempted to leap the, railing when he came to it; for had he on the contrary forced him. felt againft it, it would eafily have given Way, and inevitable deftruition to him would have been the confequence ; as' it was, Mr. Laiso efcaped with. out the leaft inj 4.

They are worn upon the hair, upon hats, upon little lace mobs. The black thaw hats maintain their ufual fine and Ihape, lint the other hats are broader in the leaf; hence it follows, that the or ribbon, which brings them down at the lido. and the ends of which are knotted under the chin, gives them all a crufhed appearance. The role is 'till the prevailing colour ; it is frequently mixed with black. The freflmefs of the evenings has in duced form heads, cropped a /a Titus, to use time covering. The long trelfes are (till turned up veil high and clofe, fo a, to leave the nape of the nal. quite bare. All the ends are twilled and colleaeLl upon the crown of the head into a bunch,which the caffeurs call a chow, made fiat with a golden pin, or a golden backed comb. Aprons trimmed with lace, and reaching to the flipper, have, with a few thanes:, fucceeded to thor; tunic ks.—The qflufis have upon the back an X, furtnounted with el V. The ends, which arc knotted before, are very faun. When there is no cans, the end of an handker chiet; generally an embroidered one, covers a part the of the back, as low down as the gathering of plaits that mark the waift.
