w , y U EXTII.4OIIDINAHr OCCURRENCE. At the conclusion of the late Old Bailey Sessions, tl,e Foreman of the London Jury intimated to the Common Sergeant, who was presiding, that he had a communication to make by the direction of his bro ther Jurors—lie then began to read the following document, but was grossly interrupted by the Com mon Sergeant, who told him that the Jury were usurping what did not belong to them, and on the Foreman remonstrating, absolutely ordered him out of Court, under an impudent threat of committal for contempt it' he did not immediately obey this gen tleman " dressed in a little brief authority:"— "The London Jury ear not separate without making an anxious appeal to tire Court in behalf of the prisoners who have been capitally convicted. By a conscientious discharge of the duties impostil on them. they have been compelled to commit the lives of individuals into the hands of their fellow men, for offences varying in character and degree; and it behoves them to state then feelings of deep regret that the absence of marked atrocity should not ensure an exemption from the dreadful sentence of death, Notwithstanding the high degree of confidence they would place in the merciful discrimination of those who arc invested with the final disposal of lives forfeited to the law, the painful apprehension caused by the uncertainty of remission deprives them of the satisfaction which should follow their own verdict. Beason and humanity dictate the hope that the embar rassing difficulties attending the office of juror may be speedily removed; constrained as they now are by their oath to award a punishment so manifestly excessive as to demand the constant interposition of higher authority to prevent its being carried into effect. It is their humble desire, therefore, to communicate to his Majesty's council, through the humane offices of the Court, that the London Jury respectfully disclaim the extreme penalty which their verdicts would seem to invoke on the criminals they have had in charge, and earnestly solicit their delivetance from death." The above was approved and signed by all the Jurymen. Ffects of Lightning.—During a violent storm, which visited the town of Biberbach, in Prussia, on the evening of Monday, July 16, four young pea sants, engaged on an eminence in some agricultural labours, had recourse to the expedient of sustaining a bundle of clover over their heads with a pitchfork, in order to shelter themselves from the rain. The lightning struck the pitchfork, passed along the breast acid shoulders of one of the young men, af terwards over the lower part of the belly of the one who stood next him, ran down his right leg till it reached his toes, and there caused a turn about the diamster of a 12 Kreutzer piece, without having left any trace of its passage on the outside of his boots, which were carefully examined. The direction taken by the lightning was marked by a burnt hue both on his skin and on his clothes Although these two young men were much injured, hopes were entertained of saving their lives; the two others were not hurt. The most remarkable circumstance in this event is, that the young man who suffered the most, and who was a little deaf, has been per fectly restored to his sense of hearing since the ac cident. On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, as a woman named Esther Knight, who resided at Crowan Church-town, Cornwall, was taking leave of a person who had accompanied her from market, she said, that from the appearance of the atmosphere, she feared there was a fire in the direction of her son's house, which wus at some distance. Becoming alarmed, she called her daughter, who had gone to bed, and who arose and followed her mother half dressed. The daughter passed the old woman, and on coming to her brother's house found it was on fire. The owner of the house and wile had gone to ielston market, from which they had not returned, leaving two children at home, who were with diffi culty rescued from the flames ; a few articles of fur niture only were saved. After some time the young woman who had been called out of bed, a as returning home to put on the remainder of her clothes, when she stumbled over a per, on who had fallen across the road; and making an alarm, the person was tiken up, and proved to be her mother, who had dropped dead from fright before she could reach her son's house. Every means were tried to restore ani mation, but in vain_ The poor girl vas so alarmed at this second shock, that she was seized with hys teric fits, and now lies in a very precarious state.— The fire was occasioned by one of the children placing a candle so as to communicate to the thatch with which the house was covered.
