Rain had fallen ,heavily throughout the night, and it continued, with sharp gusts of wind, until a late 'hour in the morning. The dull old city of Chi chester looked duller than ever in the driving rain, for even that temporary activity which was wont to be imparted to it in the race week was not dis cernible. The inhabitants seemed to gaze with 4 grim satisfaction on the few visitors who huddled for a short shelter under doorways, or who, damp and woe-begone, took their seats insid e om (Alai- es, and watched the large drops course adown the window-glasses until the proper complement of . passengers could be obtained. At the railway sta tion, the number of vehicles was less than that on preceding aniversaries of the day ; the customary "block" of flys and coaches at the Cross not once occurred, and a lack of visitors caused a diminu tion in the bawling and shouting which was for merly sustained with such stentorian effect by excited coachmen and their energetic "bucks." The characteristics of Goodwood races—the "glories" which are associated with the ineettag —the broad sunshine, the gay company, and the exhilarating ride through pleasant lanes and the beautiful park—had disappeared. The roads were heavy and sloppy, and people went to the course cooped up . in closed carriiges, and encased from head to foot in waterproof clothing. Speculators pur.ued their calling in a crowd under the 'portico of the Grand Stand, the general visitors thronged the saloons, the embankment. under the tre, a was deserted, and ladies picked their way daintily over the sodden grays in the enclosure as dishevelled and as miser4ble as if they were attending a CI ernortie fête. As the time appointed for the commtnce of the pree edin s apps oared, the: O T brightened, but the attno:pfiere was raw anedatrip, and the inclement weather produced a marked effect oil the attendance of general company. Only a very few carriages occupied lhe allotted space, whilst, by the rails outside the Grand Stand, were sparsely scattered some men and bls of the peasant class.

The following letter hAs been addressed to the Editor of the Times : " correspondent's amusing accept ;of his adventures on . jaoata. the Agameninciidind yesterday's gale have set .nie tits Atlantic telegraph. • I am neither sailor - nor engineer, but I am an old fis'ierroan, and the lay ing of the telegraph interests me becatse the opera tion somewhat resembles uiy favourite sport ; in scale and result it More resembles Thoi's unsuccess ful angling fur the sea-serpent than my fisliiisg. I have hauled up many a cod through .60 fathoms of the Atlantic. I have left many a good hook fast, in the bottom of the sea, and I have often watched with anxious eyes a day's provision for a party embodied in one big salmon capering in a Norwe gian river at the end of a line that a dead weight of ten pounds would break. " I have secured my fish in spite of difficulties. Thor lost his probably because rods and reels were not then invented. I landed mine because I used both. A. hint may be taken from fish •inet. in conducting similar operations on a larger scale. The problem is the same in both cases, and may be thus stated :—How to pay out a line with out breaking it. If a strong, active salmon, weigh ing 301 b. or 401 b., can be dragged from a roaring torrent with a thin fishing-line by a hook fast in a bit of weak skin, it is worth inquiring how it is done. it is by easing the strainwith the spring of the rod. Few fish would be landed if the reel alone were used to piny them ; and a reel nnly is used in laying the Atlantic telegraph. If a hand-line fisher wants to break his line when fast in the bAtom, be does that which (so far as I understand the matter) was done with the Atlantic cable. He uses his hand for a break, pulls the line against the side of the boat, and the rise of the sea snaps it without any exertion on the part of the man. Hitherto we have succeeded best in breaking the new line, and. we seem to have bra ken it where a bandline usually breaks, near the bottom or near the boat. It seems to me that something contrived to act The owners of the three animals that Warted for the first race were certainly bold to put down 3001. each for them. Lord of Lorn, Clydesdale, and Gourd were the competitors, and it will be thus seen that the field comprised "a bad 'un, a lame 'nu, and a blind'uu." Lord of Lorn won easily enough. For the second race the favourite was defeated, and Frederick landed in triumph the colours of Lord W. Powlett—one of the stewards, • and a nobleman whose consistent and staunch patronage of the sport has gained for him a vast popularity on the Turf. Again was the first favourite defeated for the Handicap Plate, and for the sue.arediug event, the Goodwood Derby, a new item in the programme, the backers of horses had a third turn of ill-luck, for Happy Lend, who was not backed for sixpence, won with the most ridiculous ease. The fortune of the bookmakers was reversed uy the principal event of the day, the " Stakes," which was won by Roman Candle, who had, since his success at Liverpool, grown in favour up to the very minute of starting, and who was at last backed for an immense sum of money at evens against the field. Many persons, however, attribute his win ning to an accident, for Fulbeck broke down a dis tance from home, and, but for this mishap, he might have snatched the victory frouthe favourite, who, however, did not escape scathless, for he cut his leg severely. The race was a straggling one, and two animals, Zonave and Esperauce, bolted at d fferent points. Target and Queenstown merely ran for the forfeits for the 300 sovs. Sweepstakes ; and the Handicap Plata brought out eight runners and occasioned a very pretty race. By the way the handicapper had a difficul y in Weighting Wo .d -burn, an American bred horse, which they deemed so bad that they actually turned him loose, allow ing his owner to put any weight on him he liked. The colt, however, did not start. Star of the East won the Drawing-room Stakes, and with that event the sport was concluded. J ust before the last race the heavy clouds almost entirely dispersed, the sun came out, and the evening was clear and bright, putting a ple.sant termination to a day which commenced most in auspiciously. The be ting on the course was dull in the, ex treme.

Very little delay occurred in deipatobing the horses from the post. Tney got away on the first attempt, Zouave in advance, followed by Night Ranger, Scribble r, _Pensioner, Esperance, and Rosati, in a cluster, the' favourite in their wake, with Orchehill, Special Licenc-, and Folheck in the roar. As they turned into th- Craven Course Fulbeck was upwards of 100 yards beleed everything, but no noteworthy change was made in the positions of the leading horses until after rounding the Clump, when Night Ranger went up to Zenave, who bolted a few strides further on, leaving Lifeboat in close pursuit of the favourite, with St. Clare, Matlas, and Esperance next, Roman Candle (who had been lying in the middle of the ruck) and Fulbeck nearing the leading horses as they ascended the Lill. On reaching the top, Esporance bolted, and Fulbeck rushed up to Night Ranger, who retired, leaving the EForn horse to carry on the running down the hill. In the bottom, Matins, Orchehill, Rosati, Roman Candle, and Lifeboat were the immediate followers of Fulbeck, and on coming to the distance, the favourite took his place at Fnl becles side, running with much gameness, or laziness, for Bray was repeatedly compelled to use whip to keep him going. Just before reaching the Grand Stand, Roman Candle headed Fulbeck, who broke down almost immediately afterwards. and was beaten by A length and a-half ; six lengths between the seco nd and third ; Rosati was fourth, Lifeboat , fifth, St. Clare sixth, and Pensioner seventh.

At the rise of the wave the springs would ease the strain on the cable till the paying-out apparatus had time to act, just as a fishing rod eases a line when a fish is jei king at it. As matters are now arranged the cable runs on the side of the ship, and when she rises to the sea it probably snaps with a jerk before the reel inside feels the pull, just as a castii , g-line is broken by lowering the point of the rod when a fish is in a flurry.

HEALTH OP LOIVDON DUBING THE WEKK. . .- (From. the Report of the Registral! -- Gaer#l.) In the last weekly report it was shown that the public health of Loudon had undergone some im provement in consequence of the fall of tempera ture ; and it will be seen from the present return that that favourable result was maintained, and was more decided, in the week ending last Sa. urday, July 24. In the first week of the present month the deaths were 1,191, in the next 1,173, and last week they were 1,132. The mean weekly tempera tures were in the same periods 55 . 9 deg., 66 4.deg., and 62 . 9 deg., which are, on the average, less by 2.5 dog. than those of the five weeks preceding. In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in .the-weeks corresponding with last week was 1,061 ; but, as the deaths now returned occur red in a•population which has annually increased, they c in only be compared with the average after it has been raised in proportion to the increase—a correction which will make it 1,167. The deatbs of last week were therefore less by . 35 than the estimated number. • The deaths referred to c holera in the third week of July, 1849, were 678, in the corresponding week i n that of last year 28, and It will be i o n f IthBes4wteheeky endinglast Sa-urday'lo. evident that if the ave ra g e mortalit y were d eri ved from ehole seasonscholera, the as p as r f e re se e ntt isthe staeo pr: h e s t en e t from epidemic public health w.uld from i the t a above relatively oem e o p a s r o good as might be in ferredi son. If the deaths of last week had been according to that which may be termed. "the healthy rate," de rived from those 'districts in England where the mortality is least, they would have been 799. The excess arising from circumstances that constitute the comparative insalubrity of London is 333. The morality from zymotic diseases in the ag gregate shows no increase on that of the previous aba week, but rather a slight diminution ; the deaths under this head were in the two weeks respectively 4 b o: n an r d ein 3 a 9 r 3 kabl rr y he con ni st r a . n a t i . it tor frt t mi hre ci e i weeks,rrce has the numbers having been 129, 126, and 127. This complaint was much more fatal at this period last year, when the number in the week rose to 259. Sixteen fatal cases of diarrhoea ()centred in Maryle bone, of which six were in the subdistrict of Christchurch and five in St. John. Of 'the 10 deaths referred to cholera only one occurred to an adult, a woman in Newnhim street, Marylebone, who is stated to have died of "Asiatic cholera" on the 19th instant. The daughter of a stableman, aged seven monti;s, in May's-buildings, M a yf a i r , died from the same disease. The death of a woman is recorded as having been caused by fever, which was directly attributed to the inhaling of the stench of the river dui ing a short excut sign between Pim lico and Loudou-t,ridge. Of five nonagenarians whose deaths are in the present return the three oldest were a widow, aged 96 ; a widow, iu High-street, Clapham, 98 ; and a Greenwich pensiun4 97. Last week the births of 804 boys and 851 girls—. in all 1,655 childi en—Were registered in London. In die 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1848- 57 the average number was 1,456. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.782 in. The highest reading was 30 in., and was elatts? nt, on Monday. The mean temp e rature of _the air in g a . n a above the week was 62.9 deg., which is I•3 k o d n o b the mean temperature of the same we_e__ r. aver age of 43 years (as determined by T Glaisher). The thermometer fell to its lowest point on nut , 49.3 deg., and it rose to its day, when it was , a . highest point on the ner9 when rt attained 792 deg. The range e the week was therefore 29 . 9 deg. ; the meandaily range was 22.8 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point tempe rature and air temperature was 9 . 4 deg. ; the mean degree 01 humi dit y of the air was 71. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 67 . 4 d e g,, which is nearly 5 deg. higher.tban that of the air. The wind blew generally from thb south west ; on Saturday it blew when at ongeElt with a pressure of 4 . 51b5. on the square. f00t,., and ita horizontal movem en t- on th a t day was 2 5 0 miles.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTL E. - It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its apr•earan:.e ; and alrea , y its celebrity is worlthwide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has nuzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquaintel with a few facts concernin; the food, cur wonder will cease. A few dayr• since, a gentleman, wrote, stating that he had a horse which wa. a " perfect hag of bones " lle tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thot , ey's food ; and he sayi the effect was wonder ful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and inthemrse of a few weeks, had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural shows a! Birmi ngham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the higheA pr zes. had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves. and we are forced to t'ae conclu !ion, that its celebrity .arises solely trom its own intrinsic merits, and the gre't demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried It. All nar,tes interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is snit post-free.

Wo THE OPERATIONS IN INDIA. (From a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) The Right IL , o. the G , vernor•Gtoeral is pleaiied to direct the puhiicatifin of the following despatch from his Exce lency the Commander-it-Chief, dated 811 May, ISSB, reporting operations against the rebels in Rohil cond. His lordship desires that his Excellency will ac ce p t his hearty congratulations and thanks upon the clrnplete ace implishment of all the operations projected for Rohilcund. The small cost of life at which success has been se cured to the forces under his Excellency's command is again a source of the highest satisfaction to the Gover nor-General, w .ile the cheerful etalursnce by the troops of the fatigue and exposure to which they have neces sarily been subjected of late is quite admirable. The whole of Brigadier-General Jones's progress from Roorkee to Bareilly has, in the Governor-Generale opi nion, been marked with a happy combination of energy and prudence, THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF TO THE GOVERNOR GENERAL. Camp Baredly, May 8, 1858. My Lord,—l have to report to your lordship that, according to my intentions already announced, my head quarters were transferred to General Walp .le's Division in Rohilcund on the 27th ult., the siege train, Jere, having joined him on the previous day. The tame had now arrived for Gen. Waloole'e division to advance on Bareilly on the one sidS, while directions were sent to Brigadier-General Jams, her Majesty's 60th Rifles, with whose movements your lordship has already been made acquaintet, to move forward from Moradabad in a like direction. The late lamented Gen. Penny, C. 8., was instructed to cross the Ganges with the troop as per margire's at the same time at Nudewlee, to advance through the Budaon district, and unite himself to the column an ier ley immediate orders at Meraapdre Iletra, on the end of the 6th March. from Feittygbrir.e - s . Although this effiesr unhappily lost his life in a trilling skirmish, the orders were literally obeyed, and the junc tion was effected as designed, under the orders s f Briga dier Jones, her Majesty's 6;b Dragoon Guards ; the rebels who had so long occupied the ghtvs of the Ganges above Futtyghur, and the district of Budaon, bav , ng re tired before him, and swelled the ma-s of the insurgeras at Bareilly. During my advance Ernie Fattyghur towards Bareilly, the detach -d parties of the enemy which had previously occupied Shabjehanpre and the various large villages along the tine of road, did not venture in a single instance to ffer t esistance. Accordin g ly every town and village was spared, and I advanced by regular marches, waving ha!ted one day at Shabjehanpore to form a mili tary post at that place. On the sth inst. a movement was made on Bareilly. The information which bad been furnished me from vari ouson it was utterly impossible. In short, in Spite of the as sumed e q , u i quarters was most ip s ofthe cofl ll u in lc u tg portionoi:, and to of place reliance the popula tion, I have not found it easier t o obtain information in Rohilcund on which trust could be put, than has been been the case in dealing with the insurrection in other parts of the empire. Very early on the morning of the sth, the advance having been made from Furreedpore, the force consisting of as per margin,l was formed in line of battle about 6 o'clock a.m. The first line cont-i® ed of the Highland Brigade, supported by the 4th Seikhs and Belooch Bat talion, with a -heavy battery in the ceutre, with horse artillery and cavalry on both flanks, under the respective brigadiers and commandants. The second line was wholly employed for the protec tion of the baggage and siege train, this precaution ap pearing to be necessary owing to the very numerous rebel cavalry. The enemy, who bad come out from the city with much boldness, and taken position on the left. bank of the Nuttea Nuddee, having that stream in his rear, fired his first guns about 7 o'clock a w. His guns were well placed, advantage being taken of the road along which we were advancing, and of cer tain sand bills. The horse artillery and cavalry ad vanced at the trot from both flanks, while the heavy field battery, with infantry in line, pressed up along the centre. In a short time the enemy was driven from his guns, the left part of our line taking position on the river, while the right crossed the bridge and advanced about three-quarters of a mile towards the town. The heavy guns were rapidly passed over in succession, and placed in a position from sshich they raked the centre of the enemy's second line, which he had aken up in the suburbs. A considerable distance had now been tra versed by the troops, and it became necessary to check the advance to allow time for the siege train and bag gage to close up. Abou', 11 a.m., great activity was ob,erved in the enemy's ranks ; and, while the attention of my right was occupied by a considerable body in the suburbs, the most determined effort that I have seen made in this war to turn and break through the left, was executed at this time by the enemy. Some old cavalry lines bad been occupied by a Seikh regiment: Suo:. was the vigour with which this regi ment, a moat distinguished one (Major Wilde's), under a mmand of Lb-a - . M`Queran, was 'attacked by a large body of fanatical GI - ma..., that they gmve wry for a t:.v, wi:;utt s. Tbe Guyz a., put. •ui , g tb. ir ad va•tage, u,fied like madmen on the 42d H ghlanders, who had been formed in line in rear of the village to support the Seikhs as soon as the hostile movement was descried. These men were al. killed in the very ranks of the 42d Highlanders in a most desperate hand-to-hand encoun , eta The 42d, supported by the 4th Seikhs and a psrt the 79 Is Highlanders, then advanced, sweeping through the various lines for about a mile and a-half, into the cantonments, where they were placed in position for the day. W mist the Gbazee attack was going on en the left of the first line, a very large body of the enemy's cavalry— some 600 or 700 in nunater—comieg round our ex reme left, attacked the baggage. They were quickly encoun tered by Lieut.-Col. Tomb's Horse Artillery troop, which after the first advance across the river had been left to meet snob a contingency, by her Majesty's Cirabineers (at t . Dragoon Guards), the Moultanee Hor-e and infantry of the rear guard ; their instant dispersion took place. Tots was the last effort math' by the enemy. A short time afterwards, the 79th and 92d were directed to seize all the suburbs in their front, and the troupe were put under shade as far as possible, the ac.ion having lasted for about six hours, and the troops having been under .111118 from two a in. Early on the n,V, morning, the 6th inst., the who's force advanced into the cauteeteeni. At the same time I had the pleasure to bear Brigadier-General Jones's guns on the Moradebad Hide of Bareilly. This officer had obeyed his i ns t ructions wit h great judgment and spirit, defeated a portion of the enemy on the Eth inst., taking twee guns; and finding hi ..self resisted in his approach to the town on the Gth, took three more which wrre in po-itiun against hint, entered the town, and took three advanced positions without delay. On the morning of the 7th, the town was finally le (awed and the Museulman portion af it, where there were still detached bodies of Ghazeee remaining with the intention to sell their lives as dearly as possible, was cleared. When I passed through Shajehanpore, I was informed the Fyzehad Moulvie and the Nawab of the former place were at Mohuaidee with a considerable body of men who had retired froin Shabjehanpure, I thought it would be im politic to leave the oixtr ct of tbat name without evi oe,:ce of our pleseece; a post Was tbereloie formed con sisting of 500 of li.M.'e 821 Foot, a detachment of artil lery, with two 24-pounders and two 9-pounders, and De Kantzow's Her: e, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Hale, C. 8., 11.M.'e 82 , .1 Foot. He was directed to hold the large enclosure of the gao'. I anticipated that, as soon as my back was turned, the Moulvie and the Nawab wouid annoy him. This txpectation turned out ,o be correct, and ins tee 3d lest, be was attacked and invested by immense bodies of cavalry. The guns brought against him were of very insignificant calibre, and he I writes that he had no casualties within his b treechmente. Brigadier-General Jones marched this morning with a force as per margust to his relief. The brigadier-general has a discretionary power to attack Mohuindee atter the relief has been effected. I have not as yet received Brigadier-General Jones's despatch of his own operations on the sth and 6:,h inst.. hut i,will be forwarded to the secretary of Government for submission to your for ship in due course. In the meantime, I beg to recommend most favourably to your lordship the brigadi-r-general and the officers to whom he is indebted since his passage of the Ganges to take pert in the general contribution arranged far reduction of Rohilcund.

It is difficult to speak too highly of that cheerful endurance of 'intense fatigue to which we are indebted fer the victories gained at a comparatively trifling loss on the day of battle.

The following is an extract from the private let ter of a medical officer in India. - It is dated Cal cutta, June 11, 1858 : • In the last fortnight every one has been in a hot air bath, the temperature rising occasionally in the coolest part-of the house to 100 degs. Fahrenheit, and the ground becoming so heated, that for hours after the sun has set therels no perceptible change in the temperature of the air. Some persons say it was hot and dry iu 1851 ; but others, and among these are old natives, a-sert there has not been such a trying season for the last 40 ye3rs. In the upper provinces they suffer from the hot winds, but they have the adiantage of comparatively cool nights. We have lost a serious number of men from apoplexy, induced by the heated wmosphere or brought on by direct exposure to the sun, There‘have been a great twiny deaths among he peaale connected with the shipping in the river ; their names seldom appear in the kcal newspapers, for the victims are only known iu a very limited sphere, and all within the Circle become innate-that ly aware of them _decease. Everyone is praying- for the rain. to come. It is a mistake to suppose the natives bear such heat as we have had lately with impunity. They cora pliin greatly of it, and have IlLir instances of coup de soleil, their sun fevers, and other heat diseases, just as Europeans have. Of course they are not as frequent, nor generally so severe : cus,om, mole of life, and teeir light muslin costume, jus.t pro 'ecieg the skin, but leaving every movement of the body free and llama', render them less liable to such diseases, and moderate them when they happen. Tney suffer from the eruption known as prickly heat, old and young ; the only persons among the natives said to be altogether free from it are the coolies, and those of lower caste, who wear no clothes excepting the cloth about their loins. They are never known to have it. Per• haps, therefore, the hydropathic treatment to which persons who wear clothes are involuntarily subjected (for take what precaution one may they become so many wet bandages) is the real source of this tropical plague, by artificially causing cer tain pores of the skin to contract, blocking up the perspiration in their tubes, and so giving rise to that itching, and tingling, and peculiar sensation, as if one were wounded by little flights of Lillipu tian arrows, from which the " prickly heat" de rives its name. The skin becomes nearly as rough as a nutmeg-grater, from the projecting locked-up globules of perspiration, which seem struggling to escape from the red irritated surface in their neighhourhood. Farewell peace and rest when this torment becomes at all aggravate) from any cause. However, it is the le ,st of the evil conse quences of such weather as we have had lately. In deed, some persons argue that, like the mosqui , os, prickly heat is a special provision fur our welfare— goading us up to muscular exertiou, when, without it we should be passively yielding and sinking under the torpifying influences around us, with almost as fatal a result as if we were resigning ourselves to the deadly sleep induced by extreme cold. It is satisfactory, perhaps, to see advantages even in mosquito bites and prickly heat. Atter the above was written, between four and five o'clock in the afternoon of S rturday, June 12, Calcutta was visited by a storm of thunder, light ning, and rain, leading many persons fondly to hope that the rainy season had at last set in. - The tem pest was a fine sight from the house on the bank of the river where I was staying. The sun was al toady declining towards the west, when the glare becoming partly sof end and obscured, and the muttering sound of very distant thunder, led me to open the jeilmils (Venetian doors opening upon the verandah), to look out and ascertain if there were a chance of the much-desired rain coming. Low down in the west I saw a clerk hank or clouds seemingly much agitated ; and, judging 'Lore from the mist preceding it than from the dark mass itstlf, rapidly ad.ameing in the ctre.tti , ph where I was z Very shortly alt. rwards the sue became compleeely hidden. Then the tops of the tall trees near me began to bend and to rustle, while the kites and the crows whirled round and cried, as if enjoy ing the coming change. As the storm quickly c tine on, there rose up on the opposite shore large columns of dust toe ering above the thick trees and tall palms, here and there altogether screening them from view. The surface of the' hrTatt riv ere-whiche before was smooth as glass, bee true covert cl with waves and foam, and the boats, which had not al ready obtained shelter, were driven on wi h amaz ing rapidity. Notheag now could be heard but the constant roar of the wind and the crashing of the thunder. The dark clouds, or rather cloud, for it now seemed like one huge canopy stretched across the sky, drawn forcibly by some invisible attraction towards the east and the south, hurried on, pre senting at its advancing margin a defined, clerk, circular outline. Be) ond this margin there was the bright sky, every moment diminishing in area, but still without a cloud. For some time - no rain fell. Before long, however. there fell a few heavy drops ; then, just as the wind had advanced mighti e seen the rain advancing from the opposite sht••re. It was no longer the dust which obscured the sight of the trees and houses, but the sheet of falling rain. Then the water of the river iu a great degree ceased to be broken into waves, but became white and misty, lashed by the driving shower. And then it came close at hand, refreshing beyond description, cooling the air, the earth, and everything, and beating down the clouds of dust which the storm had raised from the dried ground till the air was darkened, and rendered so suffocating that men and animals were compelled to seek shelter from its in fluence. The trees, the shrubs, the grass seemed to drink the moisture with avidity ; one might see the drooping leaves revive aud gather strength as the rain fell upon them. By the time the first vio lt.nce of the tempest was beginning to subside, ti e whole of the sky was overcast. Instead of the bril liant dazzling light which a short time before was pervading the atmosphere, and reflected from the white Bosses, the water, the trees, and every object around, all was now of the same slaty subdued hue. It is only in a tropical climate that such a contrast between intense light and ordinary shade can he visible, and the effect is proportionably impressive. One is so accustomed to the universal brilliancy, that its occasional absence, though agreeable enough, is always accompanied with a certain amount of depression and gloom. The rain of this storm fell about an hour, aud then, as the light ning wed thunder grew more distant and fainter, gradually ceased. No rain has fallen since, but we have not had such intense heat as had been pre ceding it. It may be judged how welcome even such a fall of rain as that I have described mast be, when I mention that, before the storm commenced the thermometer under the shade of the verandah was between 95 deg. and 96 deg. F. ; while a short time after the ruin had been falling it stood at 81 deg. F., a difference of nearly •16 degrees of tern pet& me. There is one circumstance connec ed with storms in Lower Bengal that seems worthy of notice. From the perfectly dead level of the t alluvial deposit w' ich cons titutes the country, it might have been imagined that a the thunder wou not have been FO loud or prolonged s 113 a d lOra rocky and mountainous countries. But the fact is not so. I never heard louder p eals, a greater amount of reverberation, or more length,- n , d rolls of thunder iu Switzerlaud, or in any other pert of the world, than I have heard here. Whether this depends upon intensity of the lightning or the state of the a•mosphere I cannot pretend to say.
