YORK, .Iw.x 1. .. Tee Wsarnast.--For a few days previous to Tuesday last, added to the powerful effects of a summer solstitial sun, our vicinity witnessed an atmosphere cloudless as an Italian sky. On Tuesday morning the varying cur rent of air, and the slightly forming cloud, bespoke a welcome change at hand, and in the forenoon the pre, cursive drops, as they gently distilled upon the ground, gave welcome earnest of - Ms - coming strower. At noon, the clouds became formed into larger and more moon tainous masses though the sun broke out in his accus tomed splendour, and for a time the expected rain delayed. At length the rain descended with freedom, gad the earth as eagerly drank it up. The storm still increased in wildness and in majesty, the billowy cloud from its dark bosom sent forth the vivid and the forked fire, whilst the peal rolled and reverberated in solemn , grandeur, mingled with the dashing of the copious shower. As the range of this storm embraced the village of Nun Monkton and its xeighbourhood, the lightning became peculiarly vivid and overpowering, and the peals of thunder were loud and incessant. Four ewes and two lambs were killed by the lightning, at Mr. Benjamin Cundall's farm ; they had taken shelter under an oak tree which was set on fire, and continued burning until it was ccniumed. Wednesday, at Puppletun, the hail descended with such terrific force as to break eighteen windows in the house-of Mr. Fearbf, of that place, and did very exten sive damage to the fruit upon the apple trees, and in deed to every thing in the garden susceptible of injuries. At Acomb, also, most curious pieces of ice imagination can devise, many of them foil four inches in diameter, flew about in all directions, breaking the cucumber frames, and entering the dwelling-houses with consider able projectile force: some of them had an opake nucleus, others wholly pellucid; some flat, others round, and as if cut by the lathe in divers irregular ways. Swallows were struck to the graend. The rainbow was uncommonly brilliant. At Skellon much damage was done, and st the house of Drury, Esq. near that village; much glass was shivered by the large pieces of ice which fell amidst the torrent of rain. l The effects of this storm here also experienced at Mal don and in its neighbourhood. The rain came down in torrents, and was accompanied by hail stones of a very large size, which did great injury to the hot-houses of the Gentlemen in the neighbourhood. A great many squares of glass were broken in the gardens of Major Bower, of Welham, and Mr. Barton, of Malton, is said to have glass broken to the value of about 201. The horse. in the mail to York were so frightened as to be obliged to be led some distance by a person at the head of the leaders. The damage dor.e was very extensive. To this destruction of property we have to add the still ni ire fatal effects of this visitation. A man of the name of Char les Kilvingion, a wire-drawer, in company with another ; erson, who was passing along the road about four milts from Tadcaster, was struck by the lightning, and in tan'ly expired. The case of this young man is exceedingly to be lamented: he was going to see his wile anJ three children, whO reside in Leeds. She is in the hourly expectation of being confined with a fourth 0110, ; :aud is in the greatest poverty and distress; at once ;emoting to those who are benevolently disposed, a worthy object of. Christian charity, and a fine oppor tunity of relieving the fatherless and the widow. His companion, we understand, escaped without injury. At Tockwitb the storm raged with great violence ; sesieral of the hail stones, after being removed within doeitiltbov. z one minute, measured from 41 to 5 inches in Circumference; numerous panes of glass, arc. were broken. A young woman working in a fi-Id at Cattle, near Tockwith, was also snuck dead, and her clothes' set un fire. The damage done by the hail stones breaking glass at rno:t of the places within the range of the storm, is immense. Upwards of 601. worth has been broken at the re.idence of I. Spencer, Esq. at Popplston; and the ijury su.tained at Castle Howard is very,great, glass in the bowie and the adjOining gardens having been broken to the amount of 4001. The roads there were so fl toiled with rain, that in some parts boats might have been used ; and the branches of trees were scat tered around like tke shattered fragments which are generally seen where the woodman s hatchet has been unsparingly exercised. .ABOIDEEN, JUNE 28.—The weatl.er continues dry and sultry to a degree very unusual in this part of the country, and most unpropitious to the progress of she growing crops. The heat for the last few days has been most opp•es aye, the thermometer in the shade ranging born 76 to 82. Many well , ponds, and some of the smaller streams of water, are entirely dried up; and cattle are suffering no le,s 1 . 1 mu the drought than from the scar city of pasture. In the upper parts of the county, the effects of the heat have been of a most est raordinary and alarming description. On S .turclay, the furze on the Hill of I.ochtiagar was observed to be un lire; and the most plausible conjecture as to its origin ascribes it to the influence of t! , e sun acting upon and reflected from sonic of the cairogorums and other gems which are to be found in that picture ruse spot—the thermo meter upon the side of the hill having risen to above 90. But t! e fire, we have since learned, is not confined to Lochnagar. Several other hills in the neighbour hOod have also caught fire ; among which Benaboard, Beaaven, and the Hill •f Glentmner are mentioned, and have been burning for some days. Every exettion is mak ng to prevent the fire reaching the woods. FALKIRK, JULY I.—The heat has been excessive for some time. The thermometer has frequently been at 84 in the shade, and at 125 in the open air. The con sequences are alarming. The mosses and heath-clad muirs to the S.W. have been on fire for a week past, and, are still burning, and no human power seems able to arrest iti progress. It has been computed that up wards of 2000 acres have been burnt, including some' corn fields and plantations, at the same time destroying I , all kinds of game upon the moors. Our only hope is, than an ample supply of rain may stop the ravages. Friday morning, sonic of the workmen engaged at Mr. Patiton's, on the Shawpark Estate, near Alloa, dis covered a great quintity of smoke, arising from a young phonation in the immediate neighbourhood, and on investigating the source from which it proceeded, found the luggage and young trees were on fire. We under stand that the strenuous mit:erns of upwards of a dozen of Alen were requited the whole day to confine the ravages of the destroying element, which was not fairly got under till nearly two acres of die plantation were destroyed. Nothing has developed its origin. It Is said, that the Winter Theatres, by direction of the LORD CHANIBRILAIN, are to be closed three entire ■tonths, and the IJaymalket palormances restricted to lour insteAd of seven months. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Amy 3. LADOASTRR R. Aretwaotr. The Loan CumttaLsost midi this was the case be tween too sisters, one of whom bad filed a Bill against another, accusing her of having withdrawn from an escritoire a sum of 817 guineas, two half guineas, and a seven shilling piece. it appeared that these Ladies had divided all the property of the father between them, with the eicepti3n of thi, sum of nriney, so surrept•- tiously taken away. The defence appeared to him to intimate, that the accusation of the plaintiff might be [clotted upon her by the other sister, for the defendant stated, that her sister, the plaintiff, had found means to deal with the savings of her parent in his life time, much in the same aay a, she accused her ester of hav ing done since his death. The Vice Chancellor had di rected an issue to try whether this gold had ever been in the possession of the father; and, it appeared to him (the Lord Chancellor) that the decree of his Honour was right, but if it was so in point of form, the other sister had, as a matter of justice, an equal right t 3 an inq dry against her sister. A more unpleasant case altogether could not be put upon the files of the Court. As the suit had been instituttd, it must be dealt with accord ing to the justice of it. He should himself pen the teims of the issues he would direct, and he a ould !mod them down tomorrow COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JuLv 3. CASS OS CONSPIRACY..--THR RING V. ROWLAND AND OTHERS. This was a prosecution by indictment against the de fendants, Hugh Rowland, Howell Richard Rowland, his son, William Gordon, James Knox, Malay, and -.—. Twycross, for a conspiracy to defraud Robert Stra►ford Ashby, and Benjamin Shaw, by issuing se veral Bills of Exchange, snaking the prosecutors liable to pay the amount after a dissolution of partnership should have taken place. Hamay and Twycros► being represented as the mere agents of the other defendants, the Counsel for the pro secution consented to a verdict of acquittal for them. Mr. ►SCARLBTT stared the care. It appeared yon Ashby and Rowland (Richard) were in partnership with asperson named Oltvere, an engraver, residing i.l Lombard-street. Thrt partnership continued from 1820 down to 1824, when Olivere withdrew from the con cern, after which John Shaw became a sleeping partner, has ing put in 1,5001. By a deed duly executed, it ap peared that Rowland was to advance the sante sum, and Ashby 500 i. The bills of exchange which were to be issued were all to be signed by Rowland and Ashby, Straw having no part in the transaction further than that he was to get one-eighth of the profits. On Mr. Shaw's return to London, afer an absence at Paris, he was applied to hy.Rowland - for more money. Induced by this circumstance to suspect that something wrong was going on, he enquired and found that his 1,5001. had never been brought into the film as capital, and , that Rowland had advanced nothirig. Bills were then, said to be in circulation to the amount of 3001. or 4001 in the name of the firm. Mr. Rowland, jun. said, his' father (the defendant, Hugh Rowland), who is a paper maker, would give paper w the anwunt of all those bills. It was afterwards discovered, hoe ever, that bills to the amount of 6,0.!0/. had been put into circulation in the name of Ashby, Rowland, and Co Some of these bills had been sold for 10s in the. pound. Part of th • proceeds went to pay the debts of Hugh Rowland, and some were circulated by the other defendants. with the intention of defrauding Messrs. . Ashby and Shaw, the present prosecutors.. The bills, it would appear, had keen accepted after the dissolution of partnership, and contrary to / deed executed between the parties. Mr. Ashby was arrested on one of the bills, and comniiited to the King's Bench Prison, %here he was visited b y Hugh Rowland, who urged him to take back his (Row. land's) .on into partnership. and offered on that solidi tion to pledge himself that all the bilk should be paid. This proposition, however. Ashby rejected. The whole transaction, in short, was one tissue of gross fraud, as would be clearly established by evidence. The two deeJs of partnership were proved, and a number of witness:s were called to prove the facts of the Learned Counsel's statement, and the circulation of the bills, some of them drawn by Knox ; am ,ng whom were the two defendants who had been just acquitted, and who now laid open a scene sufficient to make an impression en the minds of the J.lry ; though a not un successful effort was made by Mr. C. Phillips, in their cros►•examination, to convict them of a very consider able implication in the transact on in question. _ _ Mr. Ban Demi: and Mr. Prawn then severay addressed the Jury fur the tlefendanu; after which, Mr. Shedd' Crowder. T. Richards, E , q. (who suc ceed..d the worthy Sheriff in busine-s), W. Magna'', Esq. (son of Alderman Maguey) Stuart, Esq. and seve ral other Gentlemen of high respectability, were called to prove the defendant Hugh Rowlanes character to be without reproach. Evidence wai also caged as vi character of William Gordon. The Lotto Cates JUSTICE slimmed up.— However blameable the conduct of the attendant Hugh 'Lowland [bight he, inn taking bills for his OWII use from so young a man as his sun wiLhout apprizing the son's partners ; yet if the Jury conceived that he had done' so with no unfair intention, and with the prospect of these bills being finally paid, they would give him the benefit of the good character he had • received from so m an y highly respectable wi,nesses as had been called, and bring in a verdict of acquittal. as far as he was con cerned. But with respect to the other defendant, GM.- ' don, the case was very different indeed. They must find a verdict against two persons or more, in order to re• cord a verdict of uilty at all.

This trial lasted from half-past nine in the morning till half-put nine o'clock at night. Yesterday the annual Meeting of the Proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre was held in the Saloon, to receive the Report of the Sub-C•instnittee. It was announced that Mr. Bum had beaime the lessee of the Theatre for fourteen years, at a rent of 11,2501. Mr. Cm CRAFT sr. ted, in the course of the meeting, that the whole debt due by Mr. amazon to the Theatre was 5,700/. of which 3000/. was actual loss during the last season.— Mr. ELLISTON, who was present , alfdresud the Propri etors, and expressed his intention of visiting America,, for which he had received a most liberal offer. He de clared, that he felt no anxiety respecting himself, but he was desirous that Lis son, who had expended a part of his private fortune on the Theatre, and above all,•that his creditors, who were deprived, by his ceasing to be, lessee, of all prospect of being paid in full, should re ceive the consideration of the Proprietors.

BOW STREET. RAND 0 nOIIIIKKIICI IN Tag ST/SAND.— Yv,terilay, during the pro ces-ions of the Trades Ithnts the Strand, a gang of organized thieves, frum the east cud Melte town, committed numerous desperate rob beries. The barefaced manner in which the villains, in open day, assaulted paso.stg,rs, and plundered them, was only equalled by their desperate attack upon the Police, to rescue one of their gang, who was eventually recaptured, and brought to this office. 'l'he following charges were preferred against him: The prisoner is a Jew, and gave his name Abraham Fork,. Mr. John George Emmett, of No. 7, Ebury-terrace, Pimlico, musical professor, wbd is almost deprived of his sight, was wal ki ng near Somerset House, about half-past twelve o'cloc k, as•'.l,lw Cf Mises makers' Society passed in procession.

In an instant his watch wargone, and the prisoner ran off. Mr. Richardson, jun. informed Mr. Dock land, tar Beadle of the parish of St. James, and the Bow-street Patrol who were stationed at Somerset House, of the circumstance, and they seized the prisoner. lie made a desperate resistance, and the gang of which the prisoner appeared to be the leader„being more ' num.-rous than the Police, they soon effected the prisoner's rescue. The police, much to their credit, renewed the combat, and recaptured the prisoner, but he had c"ntrived to part with the stolen property. —The prisoner was also charged with robbing Wm. Deaseky, a porter in the employ of a Gentleman residing at Spring Gardens. lie stated, that about twelve o'clock yesterday morning, he was walking near Harter 'Change, as one of the trades were passing in procession, carrying two parcels in one hand, and an umbrella in the other, when the prisoner pushed up against him in front, and ! another mats behind, when they rob'ted him of his watch and N. and before he could cry stop thief, he was « cleaned out" (laughter), and the prisoner gone. lie was told that a man had been taken for a robbery, and ou seeing the prisoner at this office, he was posi tive that be was one of the men who hustled him.

The parties had been bargaining for the sale of a horse, but hid parted, when Waglen and some others came up and knocked West don and robbed him. The c►se was made out rather unsatisfactorily, and the prisoner was discharged oo re cognizance. QUEEN-SQUARE.

The defendant was valet tp Mr. Villial, and re seised a salary of 501. a yet. On Wednesday. Mr.. Villiers re -1 quested him to take home a small parcel from Pall Mall, but be refused to obey Mr. Villiers's orders, and behaved in a very insult . nig manner towards that theiktlernan. On Friday be was requested to take a letter to Mr. Villieri's mother, but this hr also refused to do, and said he was not hired as a purser. Mr. Villiers then de sired he would immediately quit his service, and offered him a month's wages, He, however, demanded three months' wages, be haved in a very violent manner in the house, and dcelared he would not leave until he was paid his full demand. Alt. Mancuso told him, that though by the law of England a servant might be hired for the year, he was liable to be discharged at a moment's notice when he conducted himself improperly; but if the servant conducted himself well, and the master was not satis fied, or if the servant was not satisfied with his master, it was not required to give more than a month's warning or a month's wages. Mr. Villiers said, he was not disposed to punish the defendant, and as he promised to remove his properly from Mr. ViWers's horse and to quit his service, he was discharged. ME. Villiers paid him 21. over and above the month's wages. M A RLBOROUG H-STRIRT. Yesterday Lord Bingham, the son of the Earl of Lucan, and the newly-elected Member for the county of Mayo, In Ireland, was charged in the watch-book of St. James's parish with various acts of insubordination towards the " nightly watch and if the nightly watch told truth in their statement, his Lordship and his companion certainly behaved in no •ery orderly vi Parliamentary manner. The night-broil and row, it appeared, took place in St. James's street, near the Guards' Club-house, into which establishment the watchman .tared that his Lordship and party very humanely pro posed to drag a few of the guardians of the night, and then and 'there to annihilate them with pokers, Sec. after the fashion charged a short time ago upon Lord liarhorough as regarded some of the liond-street people at Stevens's Hotel. After hearing all the details of the affair. Mr. Roe, the Magis trate, did not think it a case where it was necessary to hold the ac cused to bail, and sent the whole pack, Lords, watchmen, and all, about their business. UNION-HALL. Yesterday a respectable looking man charged a Solicitor with having violently assaulted him and robbed Mei of a handkerchief, on Saturday night. On examining the different witnesses, however, it appeared that the prosecutor was incapable of knowing how he lost his handker chief, from the effects of the juice of the grape, and the Magistrate severely reprimanded the Night Constable of Lambeth (Richard Hall), for taking the charge, and fined the complainant five shillings for bring drunk. Yesterday morning a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Harding, baker, its Wellington -street, White chapel•road. Engines were quickly on the spot, but were nearly useless, for want of water, there being no plugs turned on for three quarters of an hoar, and the only supply obtained was by pails from a muddy ditch. The house was cun,umed, and the escape of the family was almost mi•aculous. Saturday night an Inquest was held on the bodies of three men, named James Brown, John Wright, and Edward Palmer, who were accidenatlly drowned at the New London Bridge. Wright and Brown, and some other workmen, were employed in raising a barge which had sunk between the starlings of the Old Bridge, and the guy rope broke, and threw all employed IWO the river. Wright and Brown sunk, to rise no more. Palmer rowed a boat from the shore to endeavour to save them, but the tide funning strong at the time, he was capsized. Verdict—Accidentally drowned. Saturday, a Mrs. Heather, who keeps a mangle in Union-street, near Shoreditch Church, met with the following accident :.—A neghbour, bringing some linen to mangle, put her child, a tine boy, two years old, on the mangle, by the way of giving it a ride : the child rolled off, and falling under the immense weight of the mangle at the time it was turning, in an instant the ,head of the infant was crushed to pieces.

Captain imerson, of the Etna, steered by Captain Emerson; and Lieutenant Mooch, of the I.auret, steered by Lieutenant Monck. Tue quays and the opposite shore were lined with spectators, and the river, in the line of the course, was studded with a number of boats, laden with individuals who take an interest in aquatic sports. At a few minutes after five, on a signal gun being fired, the boats started f rom Si r Ri c h ar d Puleston's yacht, near Woodside, and proceeded with great celerity down the river, round a boat moored south of Seacombe—thence past another boat near the Floating Bath, up the river, round the Bittern in the Sloyne, and back along the Cheshire shore to the yacht ; consider able sums were depending on the event of this race, and we make the following statement on the best authority : The boat belonging to Sir Richard Pulestoue, rowed by six boatmen of Liverpool, took the lead, and came in first; that of Mr. Mooch second ; Captain Emerson's third; and the boat of the Bittern fourth. Sir Richard Pulestone entertained Admiral Murray, and a sekct party, outman% his beautiful yacht; and Captain Emerson, with his usual butyl tality, regaled his friends on board the Etna.
