Monday, Taunton and its neighbourhood were visited by a tre rrendous storm, accompanied with loud peals of thunder and light r!rg. The lightning split a tree to pieces at Wild Oak Cottage; stme of its branches were scattered to a distance of 60 yards.. The ..lightning also struck some tiles frem the roof of Miss Halliday's heaie, in North Town, Taunton, and set on fire the oak rafters. A letter from fiLtestricht gives an account of the ravages caused I.y a terrible storm °Mail, on the evening of the 3d; Hail-stones as ! age as a common sized egg were picked up; they consisted of an ,•? :flue nucleus, with transparent envelope. Thousands of panes of iitass are broken. The Town-hall alone has l,!00 destroyed. The whole country is laid waste. Even the roofs of the buildings are destroyed. Crows, pigeons, and hares are found dead in the fields. 7.11 some places the deluge of water obliged the inhabitants to take'' refuge in the upper stories of their houses. One farmer had 40 acres of oats and 10 of clover cut to pieces ; . he estimates bis loss at 14,600 fr.l In the commune of Heep the damage is estimated at 121,550 francs. Baron de S— is said to have ordered 25,000 slates to repair the Mors of his chateau and the church. The details which we received of the ravages and fatal events caused by the late storms are most afflicting. A great part of the province of Lemburg, and several ' , communes of Namur, Liege, and Hainault have had their crops cut to pieces, and their buildings damaged, by the bail-stones, which have been of extraordinary exc. and it is even affirmed that in some instances pieces of ice a pound weight have fallen. Here follows the enumeration of numerous Instances of tires caused by lightning. In general the unhappy •sueirera were unable to save their furni ti:re. their corn. cattle, or horses. Some persons have been killed by the lightning; the damage done by the fire at Alnikerk, of which we have given an account before, 1% estimated at 100,000 florins.

CoNTAGMUS NATURE 01' INFLUENZA.—This peen. liar affection makes its appearance at different and uncertain inter. vale, and then spreads over a great part of the world. Its route has been often traced very accurately. In the year 1775,11 spread from Africa into Italy, and thence from country to country over all E7;rnpe, Asking a direction from north to south. In 1780 1: was first observed in ',Muscovy, or the eastern parts of Russia, and spread gradually west and south, over the whole of Europe. In the Dutch war, about forty or fifty years ago, Admiral Sir Joins torsaarr Moss commanded a fleet off the Dutch coast. A Ines. tenger arrived from England. whpre the Influenza was raging. but the fie et at the time were perfectly healthy. In consequence of the orders the Admiral received, a signal was made for a Lieutenant • front each of the ships to come on board the Admiral's ship to re et ive instructions. Up ri their return on board their vessels, they appear to have carriedwith them theenntagion that had been brought froniEngbrid ; forth a few days, every ship in the fleetwas affected almost throughout its whole crew. In one ship, out of five hundred men, only twenty.five remained uninfected on the second day. Nor was the expected approach of the enemy, who were daily in sight, suffietent to rouse the men to activity, though on other occasions the tight of an enemy has often dispelled disease. Many, indeed, were forward to Offer their services, but were totally incapable of ex ertion, and fainted away on the attempt.—Lancet. BLACKBURN.

We have the satisfacti°n of laying before our readers an official letter whick has been communicated to trs,. resrecting the Hurrhtne 'S Tiety at Boulogne, as just published in the English Paper at"hat place, affording a more accurate and gratifying statement of the suc cessful endeavours of this valuable Institution than the imrerfect account referred to in one of the late numbers of the STAR. - From the different reports given in this' Paper of its proceedings, it will doubtless be in the re. collection of our Readers, that this Society was establish ed during the last autumn, by the active exe , tions of some English Gentlemen; who, struck by Many instances of fatal accidents which occurred at that port, perceived the imperative necessity of adopting Tome means for saving human life, on the principles of our admirable Institutions established for that purpose in , ttfits country. We have now the high gratification of stating, that such has been the success with which the laudable exertions of these individuals have been attended, that the Fieneh Authorities, and most of the inhabitants of Boulogne, have most cheerfully come for ward to aid in this bene- volent object, and united with our countrymen in a general plan for carrying it into effect, with a spirit of gen •rosity which does equal honour to the humanity of both French and British feeline. (COPY OF BARON VATTIRR'S turtEro. To ?H i seascuseas or TIM NUBIANS SOCIETY op souLootts. " Lames asm GENTLEMEN-1 am deputed by the Committee of the Humane Society to offer its sincere thanks to the inhabitants of Boulogne, as well English as French, for their liberal contributions in support of this benevolent Institution. The arrangements of the Committee have already obtained for you and for itself the reward of being useful to our fellow-creatures. " The Surveillant,. stationed on the beach saved, on the 22d July, from a watery grave, a private in the limb Veterans, who was bathing whilst in a state of intoxication. A few days afterwards, two wo men would have inevitably lost their lives, but for their timely in terference ; and on the Ist inst. another female, without their assist ance, would have fallen a victim to her imprudence. " The Committee, after a due examination of the circumstances attending each caw, has lost no time in putting you in possession of these facts. Without yoor generous assistance,t the effirts of the Committee would have been unavailing, and the happy results un attained: Rewards have been accorded to the Surveillants, appor tioned to the risk to which they were exposed. " It is gratifyifig to the Committee to add, that Monsieur the Mayor of Boulogne has received a letter from Toulouse, requesting information with a view to the establishment of a similar Society at that place. (Sped) " BARON VATTIER, s Contre Ansiral, and Member of the Committee." • soulo g ne, Aug. 3, 1826." • In consequence of the danger arising from incautious bath ing, and the inexperience of swimmers unacquainted with the Coast of Boulogne, the Committee felt it expedient to employ three regular swimmers, during the summer season, as guardians, both to warn and protect all such persons against these perils, and it is the success of their active attention which this Glacial letter records. Such has been the cordial assistance which the Committee's appeal, to the public sympathy in aid of thi3 admirable Institution has produced. that there are very few of the respectable residents or vieitors in this to mn who have not Dug cheerfully mad liberally con tributed their subscriptions, a detailed list of which will be shortly laid before the Public. NORTHERN RAIL-ROAD COMPANY. Yesterday a meeting of the Shareholders in this Company took place at the London Tavera, for the purpose of contiderlng the pro priety of dissolving the Company, on account of difficaltks which presented themselves.—The Report having been read, Mr. WRIGHT (a Director) objected to the Report, and moved an amendment, that it was not advisable to break up the concern. but that all the Shareholders, who pleased to give notice within a ter nisi time, might withdraw their deposits, according to the propor tion mentioned in the Report. A long conversation followed. in which it was admitted. that though the majority of Shareholders might think proper to with draw from the Company, there still was a chance of the continuance of the coacern, from the high promise of advantage. The amend ment was agreed to ; so that the Company is still in existence. Mr. Wright, to spew that money was not wanting in the city. de clared to the meeting, that a friend of bis bad been offered, the day before, £200,000 at St pet Cent. for any time he pleased.

The crew of the Tom Cod hailed her, and hoisted their Colours, but not being answered they proceeded on board. when it was discovered to be the wreck of the schooner Union, of Bristol. There was not a living person on board, and they were dreadfully shucked to behold six of her crew lying in different parts of the vessel, naked, and inhumanly murdered; one was overboard alongside. Her decks were broken up, and an her cargo, excepting a few casks of palm oil, plundered. At this time there were several canoes in sight alongshore, fon of men, wise, as soon as thin crew of the Tom Cod quitted her, went on board. ran her on shore upon the rocks, and destroyed her.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. • DEATH or LIM?. HENRY Bat., or tux sant MOT. PltoNf A 131,11Ltg P.s•Psn et WCavgsDAT, AUG. 9; It is our painful task to record the death of this pro• mising young Officer in a tnanner truly meancholy.— The regiment had been marched yesterday morning to the strand at Sandymount, for the purpose of practi ing the min filing at a targrt ; after the other men had aced, the recruits were brought up f r the same put pose, and just as one of them, named *Lases Carrol, had levelled Ms piece,. Lieutenant Bell came in front of him, the piece was discharged, and he fell mortally wounded. Mr. Kent, of Sandymount, who was pre sent at the fatal occurrence, requested he might be c••n• veyed to his house, where every aecommodatiln which the si•uation of the wounded Gentlemen required was afforded.• Die Assistant Surgeon of the Regiment was present, and gave every assistance requisite, hut with nut effect. Lieutenant Bell expired in about 15 minutes. The ball entered the fleshy part of his 1' ft arm, and penetrated the cavity of hi: chest, wounding the lungs, and producing an internal hemorrhage, which was the immediate cause of his death. At twelee o'clock, Alderman Mimeo &id an inquest on the body. The Serjeant-Major of the Regin►ent explained, in a satis factory mauner,.the way in which the unfortunate accident oc curred, fully exculpating Carrol from any blame in producing the Melancholy catastrophe. It appears that Carrol in loading his piece had made the usual half-face to the right, and at once came to the recover and present, while it was impossible for him to see Lieutenant Hell, who came from rke left of the line. The Jury returned a verdict of—del:Wawa Death. Lieutenant Bell had not been above a year in the Regiment : he was, we understand, a young man of large femme. ANOtIVIR ACCOUNT. Tuesday morning, a: a party of the 58th Regiment was prac tising in firing at a target on the Strand, near S.indymount, Captain Bell, who commanded the party, slept out, unfortunately, from the rear, and came in the fruht just as a soldier had levelled his piece, and before he could recover it it went off, and the Captain received the ball in the *boulder ; as be was about falling the ser jeant caught hint in his arms. Captain Bell survived only about Afteen minutes. TUMULTUOUS MEETINGS IN DUBLIN. In consequence of a Resolution, which, we learn, was entered into on Saturday last, by the Relief Committee, from the scantiness of the funds in their possession, to reduce the wages of the unfortunate weavers who have been employed in making roads in the vicinity 01 Dublin, sixpence per day, many hundreds of them as sembled on Monday, in the neighbourhood of the Cir cular Road, and came in a body into the City ; they made a formidable, but, at the same time,* most affect ing and melancholy appearance: many of them held their squalid children by the hand, and poverty and despondency to such an extent was depicted ia their countenances as to be sufficent to excite the commise ration of any person whose heart was not callous to the sufferings of his felhw-creatures. In passing through Westmoreland -street, Dame -street, &c. to the Royal Exchange, where they propo,ed to present a Petition to the Committee, they distributed a printed handbill to the following effect _ _ _ _ " Fellow Citizens,—Do not be the least surprised at seeing so! many of your poor fellow-citizens rambling through your city, in order to ask, whether you have given your sanction for us, run road-makers, to be reduced from one shilling to sixpence per day? Give us bread for our children ; so, of the two evils choose the least, for rely on it we will billet Meat where then is something to eat. " Dublin, August 7, 1825." Between two and three o'clock they arrived at the Royal Exchange. About half-past four, there being no answer given to their memorial, they became impatient. Mr. Houghton, a respectable manufacturer, residing in Celbridge, ins leaving the. Bxchange, was hooted by them. Mr. Houghton did riot know the cause of it ;he retired into Mr. Grierson's shop in Parliament -street; from thence he was escorted by some of the. police to the Head Office. The reason assigned by those un fortunate people for manifesting displeasure towards Mr. Houghton was, from their understanding that Mr. Houghton was the person who moved the resolution for the reduction of their miserable daily pittance. Mr. Houghton stated in ilia police office that they were totally mistaken on that point—that he did not move any such resolution. About five o'clock they began to depart from the Exchange in uiff:rent parties; some of them went up Usher's Quay, and forced open a bakery —ethers adopted the same course to get provisi'rns in Thomas•st,eet, Francis -street, the Coombe, Meath street, &c. but the largest number assembled in James's street, and with stones or brickbats attacked the bakery of Mr. /slanders. Four of them were, in different places, taken into custody. Before seven o'clock, however, by the activity of the police, they were all dispersed. FROM TIM TRUMAN'S JOURNAL; AUO. 9. Flom the disposition manifested yesterday on the part of the people, the Magistrates thought it advise- able to swear in a number of special constables in thosel parts of the City and Libetty which are likely to be visited by the populace; upwards of one hundred spe cial constables were sworn in, which occupied the at tention of the MAgistrates till a late hour in the evening. About twenty men bave been coninsitted from the different Police Offices, for being concerned in the riots, and we are sorry to And that among them ate tome of the unfonunaie weavers. It is but justice, however, to those entering individuals, to state that the great body of them bad no connexion with those proceedings, but on the contrary some d them yesterday offered their assistance to the pollens Couazitadden Assairm.—Sunday, a meeting of carpenters was held in theldb/sop's•field, near Drumcondra, for the purpose of re gulating something connected with their trade, and the change of currency. While they were thus congregated, a man named Ken nedy, also a carpenter, went to the place, to learn what resolution might be come to. It appears, however ' that Kennedy was not one of " the body," and was accordingly devoted to destruction by these ruffians. Ten men sallied out from among the throng, and commenced beating the unfortunate "colt" in a most itibunsan manner ; how far they would have proceeded, bad Rot a Gentleman of the name of Hewsun come up in Isis car, and seised one of the party, named Kenny, who has since been fully committed for trial, it is impossible to say.

POOR JOCK DiCKIE. • A very dingy matron, In biownish black clamant*, and a very duny bonnet of the same colour and material. was placed at the bar at Guildhall, as an incorrigible disorderly. She had been given in charge to her attendant constable by one Mr. John Dickie,' a duos* elderly of the Land o Cakes, for utobbiag Aims and boxing his ears with a bucket! a This is No. 14 en the Het, your Worship ;—Mrs. Frances Dickie, and bet husband appears spinet her," said the constable. Aweel, she's oar wife o' mine," said Mr. Dickie, slowly climb. in` into th. witness-bux—his palsied bead nodding as though it would tumble off his shoulders.—" She's nae wife o' mine, GOD be thankit ! end Dickle's no the name she's ony tide to. Her real name is Frauncees Webb." 1‘ Well, never mind bet name—tell us what she ha done," said the Alderman. " Gin I were to tell ye a' she's done, ye'd be a wearie body," re plied Mr. Dickie; "hut she gets hersel' its drink, yell ken, and when she's too she smashes a' that comes In her way—forbye ding ing my ears wi the bucktt,though I'm fain to flatter her like a b.iins." " Ah, you false auld wretch !" said the Lady " hav'n't nursed you, and comforted you, aad done every thing for you these twelve years? And hav'n't I brought all sorts of scandals upon myself fur you ?—you false old wretch." " Will ye haud ye'r tongue, ye auld jad ?" cried Mr. Dickie in a tone of command; and lowering his voice, he added, " I war na addressing mysel' to you, ye ken." " If she is not your Wife, why do you suffer bet to some near you ?" asked the Aldermen. " I canna help it," replied Mr. Dickies " Why do I tarter bet to come the jad has twa legs o her sin, atid I canna help her combs. No that I should parteeculatly object to her ',cutting me in a mote and proper manner at ony time; but she's sae kenspekle that assoon as the neebors see her comin they say, ' GOD has mercy upon poor Jock Dickie, for he'll get his Garin this night l' say they. Tel insist think she's deleerit, Sir, and I canna beer it ony lauger-.-for she'll berry me out o'house, hame, and life , ethegither !" The constable produced the bucket with which she had dlng'd poor Mr. Diekie's ears; it was a good sized chutn.sisapod wooden bucket, painted dark green; a very queer thing to boa a man's ears with one would think; but the constable did say, that the neighbours told him, that they saw her " dinging it about pour Mr. Diekie's ears in a very awful manner." ' " Well, Mrs. Dickie—or whatever your time ii," said the Al detnun, " what is the reason you can't let •this old Gentle man alone?" " It's the old Gentleman that won't let me alone, yoisr Worship !" replied the Lady." He's alwaysofter me, going where I will, though I've left him long ago, and never wished to see him again." " 0! yer a insist improper person !" ejaculated Mr. Vickie: " Nay !" rejoined the lady, " didn't you write a letter, asking me to give you the meeting It Buckingham gate, last week? And didn't 1 meet you? And didn't I give you my company the who:e day long at Chelsea?" M.
