THE WEATHER•-THUNDER-STORMS. The tiry weather that We have all been complaining of h i, g iven way rather late; bet, following the adage that s' it ; lever rains but it pours," it has gone off at last w ith a vengeance. The storm of last night was one of 'the most determined that has visited London for some One. Many parts of the town which lie low were, for. s everal hours, perfectly inundated, the water pouring 'down the areas and into the cellars and kitchens of the intsabitants. The neighbourhood of New Bridge street, at Midnight, afforded a singular spectacle, the whole road, for mere than 100 yards in length, between Water street and Bride-lane, being flooded up to the top of the r avernent on both sides of the way, so as to present the aspect of a considerable river. About the deeper parts, towards the channels, common wherries might literally have been floated without difficulty ; and the front wheels of hackney-coaches were in water up to the axles is passing through them. From twelve to one o'clock, the lightning was remarkably vivid ; and the owners of the new shot tower at Waterloo-bridge must have been under some anxiety, more than once, about their iron staircase. Two o'clock being the time of high water at Catotdnii-bridge, if the rain had fallen an hour and a half Uteri it is likely considerable damage would have been done to the sewers; especially as many of them were ahead/ choked from the long coat nuance of the dry •weathee. As it was, the wet, if it was general, will robsibly have done some mischief in those parts of the country where the harvest has not been entirely gotin. BItIDGEWATER, Amon 5. About five o'clock on Monday afterumn, a peal of thunder of uncommon violence burst over this town, • „ottominanied with very vivid flashes of lightning, and a heavy slmwer of rain. The electric fl.tid struck the /brner of a building at North West Tattrunn, and l ipited one of ti•e rafters, but did very little injury. A tree at Granilington was struck and shivered into many pu ce.; and four sheep, belonging to Mr. Dibble, of hlonksilver, were lolled by lightning. WORCESTER, Auovir 5. 'Sunday and Monday the heat was most oppressive, but in the evening of the latter day we had a thunder storm, accompanied by a fall of rain, which gave a re- I fre-hing coolness to the air, and will be very service. able to vegetation. The storm extended throughout the neighbourhood. The lightning was unusually vivid, and the flashes succeeded each other with great rapi dity. Near Holt, as Mr. Charles Haywood's waggon, loaded with barley, was passing along, the three horses ' *Vie knocked down by the electric fluid, and the leader killed on the spot. Two men and a boy were also rcknorked down, and remained insensible for some time; l.ur they are now recovered. A new built brick cottage, Ht the same place, occupied by a labourer of H. Chit- Intgworth, E.q. had the chimney thrown down; hap pily the family were absent. Several trees were injured by the lightning. Oa the above day a man, named Richard Jones,died atClifton-upon-Thame; he was taken ill while reapin:r, in consequence of the excessive heats Mitten, Ava. 2.—The ATTORNEY.GICNZRAL dined Sunday with Si. 1..

No longer ago than about five .-u'eack yesterday aftergoon, two of those young female wretches who infest that spot pursued a respectable elderly gentleman,with a lady, apparently his daughter, Meaning on his arm, using the most obscene language towards the gentleman, and all this time one of the Bow-street patrol was sitting at the fishmonger's shop, close ti the spot Were this gross outrage upon public deCeacy was practised. Divan, Auotiar 2.—At twelve o'clock this day, the funeral of poor Morgan took place in St. Mary's Church. The corpse was preceded in military procession by a company of Ar.illerymen, with arms reversed; then the coffin with the body ; on the top was placed the hat of the deceased, which was pierced with balls; his brace pistols and cutlass ; the pall suppotted by six Quarter "NabitlY of the Preventive Service, followed by his weeping widow and friends; then came about thirty of the . comrades of the deceased, attended by two Lieute *anti, and ee other officers of the Navy. Altogether it bad a very solemn and imposing effect, particularly when passing over the Parade, the place where the melancholy . affair took place. Wednesday evening. a special General Meeting of the City of Loudon Literary and Scientific Institution was held, for the purpose of considering the practicabi. lily of raising a sum of money to build a Theatre, for the delivery of Lectures.—W. G. Prescott, Esq. of the firm of Prescott and Co. Bankers, took the Chair. The Report of the COmmittee stated, fiat from the crowded attendance given by members to their lectures, Albion Ball, the ; lace Where they were usually delivered, was hold totally inadequate to their accommodation. They considered a Theatre, which would hold about 800 or 1,000 persons, absolutely necessary for the pur pose, and that the sum requisite for the erection of such an edifice was S,OOOl. When they considered how much the cheapness and advantage of the amusement and instruction furnished to youth by the delivery of Lectures was appreciated by well-informed persons at the head of families, and when their beneficial effects were known, there could be little doubt that there was sufficient public spirit in the City to carry this plan into the same complete execution that had attended other efforts Of the same nature elsewhere. (Applause). It was also proposed to provide large class rooms, for the accommodation of classes of young men engaged in cwimercial or professional pursuits, who were desirous 4hi perfecting themselves in the attainment of modern languages. They, therefore, recommend that a public subscription should be opened for these purposes, and that particular advantages should be given to those members who subscribed beyond their genital subscrip. tors of two guineas. After some discussion, in which Dr. Black, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Green, Mr. Paylar, and others, spoke at considerable length, the Report was adopted, and the Resolutions founded upon it, carried. '1 he owner of Longwaist betted with a Lady, at the late Cheltenham Races, one hundred pair of French gloves to five shillings that he won; and on the even tag of his defeat presented the fair winner with the forfeited stake, elegantly enclosed in i white satin band kci Lind, tied up with a silver cord. . ~s THE ARMY: • • • We feel great 'deans, in aneMemoirdgffie following _ which demonstrates the sympatbi thal pervades the leo— behalf of their sufferint fellow eititeets, vis.—" This Messrs. *- a:Arend Hunt paid, on the 2d Inatome, into the hands of the CU*. mitt:, for the relief of the distreuted manufacturers, the awn et 9/.

IRON AND COAL ARIGNA COMPANY. Yesterday the Half-yearly General M‘eting of the Propriet vs of this Company took place at the London Tavern.—Jaaraa BROODIN, Bsq. M.P. in the Chair. Several of the Directors who bad been turned out of the Direction, and their friends, were ranged along the benches, and animosity began to shew itself at the very commencement of the proceedings. The Report, after a reference to some of the former transactions, stated that the C 'mmittee had, since it ob tained the complete sanction of the Proprietors, pursued the investigation entrusted to its charge, with great seal and application, and that Joseph Clarke, Henry Clarke, John Dunstan, Timothy Francis Power, and A. A. Surtees, having been by the unanimous votes of the Pro prietors present, removed from their office as Directors, it became requisite to fill up these vacancies, as well as those which had occurred from other causes. (The names of the candidates were then read). The report stated, that the works in Ireland had boea reduced to a comparatively trifling amount, and that they would not exceed 501. a week for the future, until the funds requi• site for better regulated operations be raised and ap plied under a Board of Directors. As to the financial affairs, there bring no auJitors at present, no statement certified in the prop .r form could be laid before the meeting. The funds of the Company consisted, how ever, it appeared, of a sum of about 11.0341. three per cent. consols, together with the last dividend thereon. Applications had been made to the original trustees to tr.nsfer the stock to the Gentlemen now moving as Directors, but the transfer having been refused, le?,ali notice had been served upon the Bank of England, in order to prevent the possibility of a misapplication of it, pending the arrangements making to procure the transfer to trustees appointed under Cie new direction. The Report baying been read, _ _ _ It was insisted, upon the part of the Ex-Directors, that the Report was not worth a farthing, as the names of three Directors were not attached. Mr. BROGDIEN, in order to settle the matter, took a pen and signed the Report; and Mr. Motion and• Captain Cater, who bad been appointed temporaiy Directors by the Committee, followed his example. Mr. DENMAN,.when Mr. BROODEN put the question, whether the Report should be received. ro.e to protest against proceeding to the election of Directors upon a Report got up under such circumstances. He said, the contrast between the present state of the Company, and its condition nos* the former Directors; was moss la mentable. When the Ex-Directors were first arraigned, they ,offered to take all the shares at par; and they were now not worth one shilling a :hate. Mr. ComEaroao said, the shares had suffered a de preciation under the former Ditection of the most inju- rious nature. It must be, manifest to every one that the bad effects could only be obviated by persevecing, in a course of quite a different kind. Mr. JOSEPH CLARE said, his property inthe Corn• pany, which was, when he was in the Direction, worth upwards 5,0001. was reduced to the value of 25)1. by the conduct of the Gentlemen who now took it upon themselves to act as Ditectors. Here arose a scene of confusion and noise, several persons addressed the Chairman, who was plumply accused of partiality. Mr. WILLIAM CLARK said, that of this he was sure, the property of the Shareholders, bo far from being de. preciated by the efforts of the Committee, would not now be worth ten farthings, if the former Directors hAct been permitted to remain in power. Mere some emrsursation took place in different parts of the room. The lie was repeatedly given, and parties strutted up to each other as if they meditated some very terrible breaches of the peace.] Dancneit—This Is really horrible, Oentlemen. SWasinionDzia—lt is your business, Mr. Chairman, to put a stop to it. Why don't you do so? Mr. Baotou—The langukge is so different from that which have ever been in the habit of bearing—and I have been connected with several Joint Stock Companies—that I do not know how to act. An adjournment was moved and withdrawn, after a great deal of angry discussion, in the midst of which Mr. Bowmen said. he really believed that be should be obliged to call its the assistance of the Police. A tremendous contusion now arose; and, after the Chairman threatening to call in the Police, the Report was received and new. Directon chosen. A letter from Paris states, that all the Allied Powers hive sanctioned the new Portuguese Charter, and have also notified to the Spanish Government not to interfere , in the affairs of Portugal. We have received Jamaica papers to the 22d of June. They are entirely barren of political intelligence. The House of Assembly in Jamaica was dissolved by pro clamation on Monday, the 12th of June, and the elec tions were to take place in Joly. Tuesday morning, as the Rev. Mr. Commelline, of Hempstead, near Gloucester, was on his return from the latter place to his residence, on horseback, he fell down near his own gate, and instantly expired. The fortifications of Bhurtpore have been demolished; the principal bastions and parts of several curtains were blown up on the 6th of February, and it is left to the rains to complete the ruin. The Futty Bourge, or bastion of victory," built as the Bhurtporeans vaunted, with the bones and blond of Entlishmen who fell in the assault under Lord Lake, is now laid low, and among the destroyers were some of those 44 white men permitted to Ay from her eternal walls," who, after a period of twenty years returned to the assault, to . witness her' towers and battlements crumbling to dust. EXECUTION AT CHELMS7OII9..-.ThE youth, Smith, condemned at the last Assizes at Chelmsford, to suffer on Friday last, excited but little curiosity in his dying moments. His father is an industrious labourer, re siding at Winston, in Suffolk, where he has worked upon on e farm between thirty sad forty years. •The youth showed no vicious habits until within a short period, after he had been enticed away and enlisted. tis appearance and in age, being only seventeen, he was but a boy, and little better than an idiot.

Resolutions were passed that they would ooly take their wages in British currency. They were the Union of Trades that met. This morning, between seven and eight o'clock, a member of men visited the manufittories of Messrs. Clements, Hill, and Hodgens, at Ringsend, and forced the workmen from each to join their party. They then proceeded towards Sandymount, and obliged the work men to leave Mr. Haig's distillery, without doing any further damage. It is truly melancholy to contemplate the state of po. verty the manufacturing classes are now reduced to; they, who a few weeks back were in apparent comfort, are now absolutely starving. In every Warn a fund has been subscribed for their relief, but no where have we known greater exertilns made than in Drogheda. The Committee of Management have offered for tour months employment to SOO weavers on an average, with their families, making the number relieved 1,500 at lea,t ; this they were enabled principally to effect by the weekly subscriptions, in which a partial falling off, we regret to say, has taken place ; either the Gentlemen Are tired of collecting or the inhabitants of paying. Tne Committee met three times this week, and at each meeting new applicants were admitted. As the funds are all nearly exhausted, the works must be discontinued if the sireekly collections are given up. NAVAL IN I'ELLIGENCE. The' following has been posted at Lloyd's: "SWEDISH DIVING COMPANY. " The Committee are iuformed, that application bas been made for the renewal of the Charter of this Company for twenty.bve years, from the 31st of December, 1827; and that the President and Directors are endeavourlog to procure certificates from Ship owners and Undawriters in Sweden and foreign countries,that they have no complaint to make against the conduct and charges of the Company, and that they wish fee a cambiums of it. The Com mittee, therefore, request that such parties as have exorbitant claims to settle with the Company, and particularly since tbe be ginning of 1525, when it is understood British shipping was placed on the same footing u livredish,vrith regalia to the Divine Company, will be pleased to favour them with the particulars at the earliest convenience. .(Signed) "JOHN BENNETT.

The decree also fires the interest on certain debts therein mentioned,' owing' by. tie Government to persons resident in Co.

For the payment of tile Home Debt, it assigns, among other object', the tenth part of all Ma nicipal Duties, and the ninth part of all Tithes. A Commission of Inspection for public credit has been qppointed. The whole Foreign Debt was about 6,750,000; bearing an interest of 6 per cent. and the HonsirDebt about 1,700,000, at 5 per cent. The Falcon yacht, Lord YARIBOROUGIR, is manned by 64 choice hands, who are governed in every respect as oa board a man of war, The honest tars were so well convinced of the impossibility of being properly ma. naged without the due course of the cat-o -nine tau. 'that they voluntarily consented to its lawful applicatioa on board, and ere the Falcon left Plymouth Sound last week, " all hands" cordially signed a paper, setting forth the usefulness of a sound flogging in cases of extremity, and their perfect willingness to undergo the experiment whenever deemed necessary to the preserva- tion of good order. JOURNXTUIN SHORMAKERa.—A general Meeting of the western division of Journeymen Shoemakers was held on Monday afternoon, at the Eyre's Arms Tavern,St. John's Wood, Mary-la-bonne, to take intoconsideration " the illegal proceedings of their employers, and other business of great importance."
