'lle baud-writing of the Defendant was proved. The defence set up was, that rro value had been *riven for the bill in question to the Defendant by the endorser, mid. in fact, that the whole trans ' action was one of accommodation; that there had been an interchange of paper to the ■mount of 5.000/. between the parties; and an under►tanding existed that Moberly should nut put these accept slices of the Defendant in circulation. It was also stated that the Defendant was, at the time of accepting these bills, in the King's Bench prison, and remained there still, and that Moberly had since been a bankrupt. The bill was in Maberly's tends on the let of April, 1821, and on the 2d of April the commission was sued not ogatinst him. Under these circumstances the Defendant's Counsel contended, Mr. Bye, the Plaintiff, must have been aware of the situation of the parties to this bill, and therefore could nut be entitled to re 'cover upon it.

LIORTIIIIIO.—On Monday aft , about three o'clock, during the tremendous thunder-rtorns, the school-room at Plante, Miler., lieu. Mansfield, was .truck by lightning, and, melancholy to relate. a young girl, aged about 18, seamed Flint, was instantly killed; and at the same time two other younger children, celled Hudson, were struck senseless, but we are happy to state that favourable hopes are entertained of their recovery. The house was much burnt, and had it not been fur she prompt assistance of the neighbonrs, the premises must *nun have been reduced to a rain. To this awful caliensity it is paihful to add, that about the same time an industrious peasant, of Ttversall, near Mansfield, named I:evoke. iu the set of setting put•toes in a field, was also momentarily a lifeless corpse, from the effects of the eleetrie fluid. TRUNDIEL •WO HAIG STOIIIIII —Yesterday sc'enight Uckfield and its tieighhuorhood wire visited by one of the most tremendous thunder and hail storms in the memory of the eldest inhatetest. Soon after three o'clock in the after. noon the air became excessively close and sultry ; respire. lion was difficult, and the lyres/ace of a sulphureoos vapour *as easily perceptible. A few drops of rule fell, and the wind veered to all points of the compere in the Nome of a few minion. At length, remaining steady at about W.N W. a huge and lowering mass of clouds was sees approaching ; the wind ceased ; stillness succeeded ; gloom enveloped the tows ; the flashes of lightning were excessively vivid ; the thunder rolled ; the rain felt has torrents, mingled with hail. stones ; a Hood poured alone the streets ; the Ouse over flowed, and inundated the neighbouring meadows, and men laid the road ill Ucklield bridge under water. Like most other thueder.sior nut, this was local ; not embracing a greater extent than six square miles. At Ploshet Park, in the direc tion of Lewes, and at 110410 W DoWO, and Nutley, in the op posite direction, mot a drop of rain fell during the whole day. —(antra Paper ) Ou Monday lasi this town and neighbourhood were visited with a more severe storm of hail, accompanied with thunder sad lightning, than we have experienced for a number of years : the mil, one we recollect so heavy happened on the 40th of July, 1803, when sonic of the hells measured three inches owed. Fir the lout six days the weather had been very sultry. s o d the wind, though nearly calm, was very satiable. Ono M lay, the 20th instant, the mornuwß was very fine and twiny ; the thermometer marking 81 degrees; about /emu the mieospliere was overcast, awl before half. past two, p.m. the clouds became PO exceedingly dense as to forebode • trentooloue storm, which sows horst forth is all its fury, soil minimised without tatermissiou fur nearly a quarter of an boor. The bail. balls were remarkably mad, and generally as large as marbles, measuring moiety two inches round, and use doubt some were much larger. The lower current was gerimally N.W. but the storm took a northern direction hicheing to the east. la addition to the &hurt observations of a coriespond eat, we are sorry to state that the storm was attended with very destructive effects. From the extraordinary tele of the bail-stones a great quantity of glass was broken in the win. dews and skylights of the houses ; but its ravages were most felt in the gardens, wee, of which presented a striking scene of devastation. The numerous hot-houses and con servatories in the town and immediate vicinity base suffers d very greatly, scarcely any have escaped without the loss of several boodred panes of glass. Much of the young fruit wed best from the branches, and what remains on the trees is bruised and injured. Its effects on the flowers and ve getables were may destructive. The 'tower-beds, particu larly those of tulips, pretest a very forlorn uppearasee, scarcely retaining • single leaf of their bloom. The cab bages sod oilier large-leaved vegetables were torn and per forated as though they had been shot with ball; and the walks were thickly strews with foliage and small branches stripped frum the trees. The hail fell in meth quastities, that, uotwitbstandiag the warmth of the atmosphere, heaps of it might be seen undissolved is the streets late in the evening; and from the quantity of rain with which it was accompanied, and which continued to fall heavily for two hours afterwards, the small brooks were rapidly swollen, and • greater flood was occasioned by the use is Daysun-lane ths• is usually witnessed. The water to • considerable height overflowed the lane as far as St. Werbssegh's church, entered the lower apartments of the houses, and rendered it for some hours totally impassable. We are happy in learn that the storm was of a very local nature; it appeared to commence and exhaust itself in our Own immediate neigh. bourhood, beyond which its iuflueuce was but slightly felt . —(Derby Mercarg) In Herefordshire at Bodeultion, Hay, kinglet, &c. much damage was dune by storms, and bridges injured; at Gres dos a flock of turkeys were killed by the hailstones On Monday last Birmingham and its seighborirliond were visited by one of this must violent thunder poems we ever witnessed, It commenced about half past our, said coati. need till nearly three o'clock, after having deluged the town, and left behind it many fearful traces of its devastating power. The thunder cloud seemed fur some time to be statioaery over the town, and we never remember to have heard au many cuew engeve peals follow the ligkenieg with such iminumneirera rapidity, nut leasing an interval between the flash aid the rowel, as ou other occasions. The. Court of Beeriest*, in the High-street, was struck twice by the lightning; in the first instance the fluid passed down the chim ney, removing some bricks uear the lop, chine an ire. cramp teamed the brick-work ; in the woad it passed through an open window close over the head of a person who was origin at alkali, and darting into au 'lonia's( room, in which were some females and • child, it broke through the window iota the court. The child was • little scorched, but not seriously, and none of the other persons were injured at all. In Bishop gate-street, the lightning first fell upon a chimney, a eon siderable part of which it knocked down, and t lied the bonne to the ground fluor, but did no further mischief than breaking several panes of glass, and disludgiog a portion of the plaster off some of the walls. A Min sad his wife were io the house, but received no injury. About ten minutes after this the electric boll fell upon aeother house, about 50 yards distant, by which a young girl, eight years old, was inotantaueously struck dead, stud the mother and two other children were seliously burnt.. The electric fluid seems to have entered the window of the torpor room, and, striking against the opposite wall, to bine passed down it into a cluck in the kltcheubtlow, from whence it t; &versed the back of the • loather, oho was sittiog with her 044 touching, or dearly clime to the clock,frum tbeuce to the breast of a child who was lying with her head on her mother. lap, then to • second child who was leasing on the first, and then to other children. There were in the room at the time of the fatal accident the soother cod fuer of her own, and one of her neighbour's chit. dyed and too meis. One of the children was in its mother's arms and was not hurt, but the back and left aide of the mother were severely scorched, and she was insensible for some time. The child hying nn the mother's lap was lotted ; the use Inning on her lust her tenets arid sight for twine hours, but has now nem vered them, and was also severely burnt, as well as the third child. The neighbour's child was slats slightly burnt. It is remarkable that the home is lower than the other lonises close to It. The lightning also appears to have struck Mr. Harris's home in Brosd-street, twice ; to the first instance it passed down the chimney, dituturhing the chtmeey boards, but doing no serious daninge ; in the mina, it seems to have been attracted by the hell. wires, mad to hare 'tamed along aliens from the top of the house, MI Ring and breaking them in its course into the hitches, where its progress is rely curiously traced from the wall to the dinner covers, from one to souther as they hung on the wall, till it lost heell in the flour. No one was injured, though the servant was chore to the bell-wire during the passage of the etectrie fluid, and she describes it as hawing given off *pinks towards her. We understand that au elnetne bolt fell in the stable-mod at Elmdue, bat without doing any mischief.—(Bhasingkam Clasessids.) DIATRUCTIIIS HAIL 9/Tollll.—On Monday last, between one and two "'clock in the 'Clemons, this city and neigh bourhood were visited by ■ tremendous storm of thunder, lightning. and hail; the halbstoises were or an aninitial sae.
