CITY, Two o'CLocx. The return from the Bank of England, completed to the 20th inst., shows some rather important features. The increased demand for specie for shipment to the Cor.tinent has caused a diminution in the bullion to the extent of nearly a quarter of a million sterling. In the reserve of notes there is a falling off of over half a million, but the other securities, owing to the repayment of loans, and the easier rates of discount in the open market show a diminution of fully half a million sterling. In the public deposits there has been a slight augmentation, but the private deposits, owing to the employment of the dividends show a large decrease, viz., about one million and a-half. The active circulation also has been considerably increased ; the various items, and the changes they present, will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. $22,064,840 Increase 352,310 Bullion 17 699 527 • Decrease • .. • 242,264 Rest • • • • 3 , 308,220 Increase 33,166 Public Deposits • • 4 0 572 • • , • .S 9 9 Increase • • 110,77779 Other Dep os it s 14 932 9g5 Decrease .. 1,431,803 wren Day and other Bills 858,019 Decrease ~ 5,188 Government Securities .. 11,270,680 Decrease 150,000 Other Semitic; • 17,254,439 Decrease 548,472 Notes Unemployed 9,489,050 Decrease .. 611,475 Money continued in moderate request, but the applications at the Bank are still exceedingly limited. Except for commercial purposes there is very little inquiry, but the specie movement, which s hows an unfavourable tendency, may exercise an adverse influence, and impart increased firmness to the market. Another parcel of £12,000 in gold was with drawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon a slight decline was apparent in the rates on Vienna, Trieste, and the quotations on Paris; Amsterdam, however, was rather higher. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market closed quietly, and 8,000 bales were sold at Previous quotations. The official returns relating to trade and navi gation, for the six months ending the 30th June, have just been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports for the 'dx• months was £63,003,159, against £53,467,804 in the like period of 1858, showing an increase of X 9,555,355. The increase is most perceptible In beer and ale, cotton manufactures, earthen- Ware and porcelain, haberdashery and milli- I lerY, hardware and cutlery, linen manufactures, linen yarn, railway iron, silk manufactures, British -wines, refined sugar, and woollen and worsted manufactures; there is a decrease, however, in cot ton yarn, machinery, salt, soap, and sheep and lambs' wool. The importations of the principal articles were larger for the six months, as regards live animals, bristles, rum, cotton, cochineal, flax, hemp, quick silver, unrefined sugar, tea,wine and sheep and lambs' -wool. There was a diminution, however, in cocoa, copper, corn, flour, rice, spices, tallow, and tobacco, The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the month at 95,372 tons for the entries inwards, and at 201,459 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade there has also been a considerable augmentation in the tonnage of vessels employed both for the entries inwards and the clearances outwards ; for the for- Iner it amounted to 440,168 tons, and the latter to 307,243 tons. t lnc reased weaknes s i s apparent in the Stock ehang e M arket. The English Funds are par ularly heavy. At the commencement of busi ness a fall of about a per cent. took place, and the Only cause that could be assigned for this sudden ,movement was an increased supply of stock, corn- Dined with the expectation of an immediate and extensive loan on Indian account. Consols, which closed yesterday at 941 95, were quoted 94i Th ey have since rallied to 941 •Z-, and the latest quotation (two o'clock) shows a recovery to 94 -1- for . ln eney and account, chiefly in consequence of „, all Improvement on the Paris Bourse. The New .Ithrees and Reduced receded to 941 ; India Loan Debentures to 941 ; ditto Bonds to 6 dis. Exche quer Bills were steady at 275. to 30s. prem. Bank Stock is heavy at 221 223. In the Foreign Stock Market business has been Moderately active, and prices, in most instances, alloß' a further decline. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 80 ; ditto New, 69 to 70. Grenada Active has receded to 17 ; Mexican to 18-Z t-; Portuguese B razilian 43 1 ; and Russian 41 per Cents. to 981 99. P eruvian 5 per Cents, are steady at 103 1 ; 3 per Cents. at 691; Spanish 3 per Cents. at 44; ditto Deferred at 314 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. at 1001.

Consols, Money 941 I Ditto Account MINES.—In Mining Sh ares , no t w ith s t an di ng the great rise in copper ore, and the improved appearance of the metal markets generally, business has been dull, in com parison with. last week, though some of the dividend mines have been in demand, and have advanced in price. Of s peculation ther e i s very little going on, except among the Jobbers themselves, and the disposition of the public seems to be to remain quiet during the hot weather. Wheal Mar garet shar es a d vanced to 60, and leave off at 59 to 61, and firm er. Wheal U n y s h ares h ave been more in request, and advanced to 8i 9 ; it appears that a shaft is in course of sinking on one of the north lodes, which is now 17 fins. d eer), and at the bottom good stones of rich cre, embedded in gossan, have been broken this week ; there are one or two other points of interest in this part of the mine, and it faris to be hoped something will soon be met with ; the com y have e x p en d e d a large amount of money without, so ,the succees they have deserved. Tvoole shares are quiet, with scarcely a quotation, but we understand the Mine is looking better in the bottom level, and'has sampled 248 tons this time. East Basset have advanced to 175, 180, and more business doing.—Mining Journal of this day. CHLOROFORM AS A MOTIVE POWER .—The French paddle-steamer Galilee, now lying in Yarmouth harbour, has an engine and boiler on board for trying the propulsive power of evaporated chloroform, and we are as sured by the engineer and the first-lieutenant that, so as the experiment has gone, there is in the use of chloro form a saving of 40 per cent, in fuel Mining Journal.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) Pr , TITION. - BUCKMASTER V. BUCKMASTER. In taking the partnership accounts in this case a receiver was appointed, and on passing the receiver's accounts 10 per cent. was charged on the gross amount. Mr. Schomberg, for the petitioner, a military tailor, con tended that 10 per cent. only was chargeable on the nett profits, and not on the gross amount received and expended in conducting thd business, which, according to half- yearly accounts exhibited, amounted to about £60,000 yearly. Mr. Taylor opposed, on the ground that the larger the amount of the accounts examined, the greater was the trouble in passing the accounts, and the fee was payable on the amount, according to orders of Court in 1852 and 1857. Mr. Schomberg, in support of his argument, cited the following decided cases, viz.:—`yells v. Wails-4 De Gex, MacNaughten and Gordon's Reports. The Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices considered that 10 per cent. was payable on the nett profits of the partner ship business only after deducting the cost of carrying on the business, and ordered accordingly. The Lord Chancellor said some new rules would probably be made on the subject. Their lordships allowed the petitioner his costs. APPEALS.-SHAW V. JUGGINS.-JUGOINS V. JONES. Plainitff filed his bill in the first suit to take the executor's accounts in the administration of the estate of the late Mr. Jugg-ins ; and the plaintiff in the second suit filed a bill to administer the estate. The question raised was purely a question of costs. Tne Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices, with consent of counsel, remitted to the Master in Chancery to take ac- counts, with periodical rests, reserving the question of interest and . costs till the hearing of the cause, with liberty to apply. POLICE IYI'ALLIGENCE,(7I - IIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE AGAINST A GENTLEMAN` OP OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES.--Alfred Moorhouse Tay lor, 23, described on the charge sheet as a gentleman, and who said he was the son of a cotton spinner at Adlington, Manchester, was charged before Mr. Bingham with oh taining money, by false pretences, of Mr. Alfred Biggs, cigar importer, of 1, Pall-Mall. From the evidence, which was very lengthy, it appeared that the prisoner had recently been a customer of the prosecutor, and in consequence of his believing that the prisoner was of good family, and of his repre sentations that ho had an account at Messrs. Wood cocks' bank, Adlington, Manchester, he cashed a cheque for £lO for him, and subsequently a second—the first of which he paid to Mr. Sidney Frances, a merchant of Bishopsgate-street, and which was soon after returned pro tested ; he, therefore, kept the seeml cheque back. The answer returned by the 'maws being that there were "No effects" and " Not known." The prisoner said that he was a respectable person, and that he believed at the time he gave the cheques there would be funds to meet them. He had received a letter from the bankers, Mr. Broughton read the letter, and said it stated that whatever money he liked to deposit with them could be paid through Messrs. Barclay. He had given two cheques, neither of which had been paid, and his deposit had not been made, and to give a cheque without having an account at the bank was a fraud. The prisoner said he had studied at the University Col lege for a doctor, and was about to enter the cotton trade. Bruce, 88 C, said, on taking prisoner into custody he found on him a cheque on Robarts, Curtis, and Co. for £5, and a writ at the suit of John Foster Hodges. The prosecutor said he believed he should be able to bring forward other charges. The prisoner was then remanded, Mr. Broughton stating that he would take his own bail in £4O and two in £2O. THAMES. STRIPPING HOUSES OF LEAD.—John M'Dermott, aged 16, and Eliza M'Dermott, his mother, 45, were brought be fore Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 1 cwt. of sheet-load from the roofs of two houses in Salter's-alley, St. George in-the-East. The prisoners lived at No. 5, Salter's-alley, and it was proved that on two occasions the male prisoner put a table in the yard behind his dwelling, placed a tub on the top of the table, and a few boards on that, and ma naged to ascend to the roofs of the houses No. 5 and 6, Salter's-alley, and strip them of the lead and lead-piping, which he threw into a dust bin, and afterwards carried away. The houses were greatly damaged by the rain coming through the roofs, and this led to an examination, and it was ascertained that the lead had been removed. The robbery was clearly brought home to the male prisoner, and he pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour.. There was no material evidence affecting the woman, and she was discharged. MORE LEAD STEALING.—John Sale, aged 43, a fish vendor, William Moss, 17, labourer, employed in the navigation of barges, and William Lemon, 24, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 2 cwt. and 3 qrs. of sheet lead, the property of Messrs, Charrington, Head, and Co., brewers, from the Five Bells, public-house, Old Ford, Bow. It appeared from the evidence that the whole of the lead was stripped off the public-house on Tuesday night last, or early on Wednesday morning. The prisoners Sale and Lemon were at the house on Tuesday night, called for a pot of beer, and with the consent of the land lord, Mr. George Willis, took the pot with them. The two men were seen near the premises of Mr. Willis early on Wednesday morning. Inspector Kenessey, of the K division, and a constable named Tuckett, 170 K, subse quently traced the lead to a house, No. 1, Old Ford-lane, on the banks of the river Lea. It was buried in rubbish. Sale and Moss lived in the house, and were taken into cus tody. Lemon, who was dwelling at No. 4, Old Ford lane, was subsequently apprehended. In the course of the in vestigation Mr. Selfe asked the lad, Moss, if he would tell the truth, and make a clean breast for himself. He . said he would, and was discharged and sworn. He said he was called up on Wednesday morning by Sale and Lemon to assist them in removing the stolen lead, and it was con veyed in his barge from the Five Bells to the back of the house, No. 1, Old Ford-lane, and there concealed. Mr. Selfe directed Inspector Kenessey to complete the case by Friday next, and remanded Sale and Lemon until that day. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

STATE OF THE THAMES.—At the meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works, yesterday, a report was pre sented by Professor Miller, which stated that, notwith standing the continued drought, the river had not been so offensive as it was last year, which he attributed to the use of deodorising agents. It also stated that a report had been received from the surgeons of the Dreadnought hospital ship, which stated that although the river was very un pleasant, yet no ill effects had arisen to those on board, either sick or healthy. A report was also referred to from Dr. Guy, the medical superintendent of Milbank prison, stating that although there were 1000 inmates, they had not suffered in any appreciable degree from the state of the river. TWIN BROTHERS DROWNED WHILE BATHING. — On Sunday last a most melancholy accident occurred at Dunbrody, near Campile, in this county, whereby two pro mising young men, twin brothers, lost their lives. It appears that the brothers, John and Anthony Lynagh, with a num ber of other youths, were bathing in the river, when one of them getting beyond his depth, was observed to be sinking, and in danger of being drowned; his brother imme diately rushed towards him with the intention of rendering assistance, but being unable to swim he also got beyond his depth, and both brothers sank to rise no more.— Wexford Constitution.

TSB SARDINIAN GOVBRNMENT. The following correspondence respecting the alleged annexation of the Duchies of Central Italy , by the Sardinian Government, was published yes terday as a Parliamentary. paper : Lord J. Russell to Sir J. Hudson. (Extract.) Foreign-office, June 22, 1859. The Marquis d'Azeglio has read to me two de. spatches, signed Minghetti. The first relates to the affairs of Lombardy, the second to those of Parma and Modena. Both are intended to justify the King of Sardinia in all that he has done in rela tion to those States. I asked the Marquis d'Azeglio whether he had any question to ask me in relation to these despatches. He said he was instructed to do so. It is therefore; sufficient to remark that everything done at present must be considered as provisional. A battle on the Mincio might enable the allies to advance to the Tagliament), or might drive them back to the Ticino. As her Majesty has not taken any part in the present war, it would be premature to decide grave questions of public law on th;‘ present state of possession. The same observation applies to Tuscany and the Legations. All that is to be desired for the present is that where the previous Government has been with drawn, or has been overthrown, an authority capable of maintaining order, and of making itself respected, may be immediately constituted. It would be lamentable to see the disorders of 1848-9 repeated in 1859. The will of the Italian people, the fortune of war, and finally an European treaty, must, in the last resort, settle the territorial ar rangements and rights of sovereignty in Northern and Central Italy. Sir J. Hudson to Lord J. Russell. (Received June 28.) Turin, tune Xl5, 1859. My Lord,---I have the honou r to lordship th a t the Sardinian U report to your overnment have' addressed a circular letter . to the Ministers, go vernors, and extraord i _lary commis s i oners o f the King, tothe follow:mg effect :—The King's Govern ment have er,:ated, at the department for foreign affairs. b. temporary office for the transaction of business arising out of the relations which have sprung up from the annexation to, or protection by, Sardinia of Italian provinces during the present war. The Government had to deal with states of Italy which heretofore had laws and an adminis tration of their own ; of these states some are simply protected. by Sardinia, others are annexed to her. With regard to the latter, this new office will prepare the way for the regular administration of their affairs, and will expedite their business by transacting it with persons conversant with their laws and customs, instead of confiding them to the Sardinian Ministries, where different rules and regulations obtain. The Sardinian Government, therefore, have determined to invest their local governors with exceptional powers, in order that the current business of each province may be car ried on without delay on the spot; and with regard to those points upon which the respective governors may deem it advisable to consult the home Govern ment, their correspondence is to be addressed to the office now established ; and as, by degrees, unifor mity in the conduct of affairs shall be established between the parent state and the province annexed, the conduct of those affairs will gradually be trans ferred to the central departments of the general government.—l have, &c., (Sig-led) J. HUDSON. Lord J. Russell to Sir J. Hudson. Foreign-office, June 28, 1859. Sir,—l have received and laid before the Queen your despatches to that of the 25th instant inclu sive. With reference to the last number of those despatches, giving a summary of a circular issued by the Sardinian Government announcing to their authorities that they "have created, at the Depart ment for Foreign Affairs, a temporary office for the transaction of business arising out of the relations which have sprung up from the annexation to, or protection by, Sardinia of Italian provinces during the present war," I have to state to you that her Majesty's Government readily admit the ex pediency of uniting the efforts of those engaged in war with Austria, either by the regular action of the respective sovereigns or the sponta neous movement of the inhabitants, under one common direction. But with regard to the perma nent annexation to Sardinia of states hitherto obey ing their separate sovereigns, her Maj es ty' s Go vernment have adopted a line of conduct which they believe to be in conformity with the law of nations. Her Majesty's Government, as I stated - o you in my despatch of the 22d inst., consider thtit everything done at present must be considered as provisional ; and that although it may be neces sary to make arrangements for the temperary main tenance of order in countries where the previous government has been withdrawn, or has been over- thrown, yet the will of the people, th e f or t une o f war, and finally a European treaty, must, in the last resort, settle the territorial arrangements and rights of sovereignty in Northern and Central Italy. Her Majesty's Government are happy to find that the view they have taken of this matter is shared by the Government of the Emperor of the French, and confirmed by the declaration in the Itioniteur of the 24th inst., announcing tirit it has been erroneously ilferred, from the fact of the dic tatorship having been offered to the King of Sar dinia from all quarters of Italy, that Sardinia, with out consulting either the wishes of the people or the great powers, reckons, by the support of the arms of France, on uniting the whole of Italy in a single state ; but that such dictatorship is a purely temporary power, which while uniting under a single authority the common forces, has the advantage of in no wise prejudging future combination. From the language of Baron Brunnow I infer that such is likewise the view taken of the matter by the Russian Government. You Will;eaciiidsdesilatch to Count Cavour, but will not furnish his Excel- lency with a copy of it.—l am, &c., (Signed) J. RUSSELL. A translation of the despatch from Count Cavour relative to the neutrality of Parma, in reply to the Earl of Malmesbury's despatch to Sir J. Hudson, dated June 7, 1859, which has already appeared in our columns, wasalso published yesterday morning. BANQUET TO MR. CHARLES KEAN.

In the files of British American papers which have reached us we find the following account of an action worthy of the name of Cochrane. The hero of it, the Hon. Ernest Cochrane, is youngest son of the Earl of Dundonald. He distinguished himself greatly by his bravery in the Crimea, by his gallant daring as aide-de-camp of Sir H. Jones, in the attack on Sebastopol, and by saving the lives of two persons he won his lieutenant's rank. We subjoin the account of the Halifax newspaper, which shows that he possesses all that chivalrous courage which has made the names of his father and mother historiCal " MELANCHOLY EVENT,—III common with the whole community we deeply regreat the sad event which occurred-on Tuesday, June 29, casting a deep gloom over our city—the sudden and untimely death of Mr. John H. M'Nab. As our readers are aware; amongst the celebrations in honour of the Queen's coronation, a yacht race was appointed to take place at 12 o'clock—au incident in the day's rejoicings that was looked forward to with a great deal o f pleasure by a large number of our citizens. The race started in fine style, the weather being consi dered particularly favourable; but scarcely five minutes elapsed when one of the boats, struck by a sudden squall, was seen to capsize, and sink almost immediately. The contest was instantly abandoned, and. the different yachts ! as well as all other boats in the vicinity, hastened to the scene of the disaster. Those in Mr. John Wallace's boat, on coming up, shoved off their boom to the first person they neared, who saved himself by clinging to it ; at the same moment a rope was thrown to another young man, who grasped it and was hauled in. The two young men thus saved were midshipman belonging to the Indus. Another gentleman, Mr. Hardinge Stewart, of the Commissariat Department, was picked up, greatly exhausted, by Mr. Fishwiek, who happened to be near in a small boat. While this was takin' place, Mr. S. A. White's boat also reached the scene, and by the exertions of Mr. White and Mr. Jacob Miller the remaining two of the five who were on board the yacht when she was struck, were taken out of the water. These were the lamented deceased, Mr. N'Nab, and the Ho n . E rnest G . L. Cochrane ' (son of the Earl of Dundonald), whose noble and heroic conduct throughout the affair is the theme of everybody's praise and admiration. On finding that the boat was sinking, he first with great pre sence of mind called upon his companions to clear themselves from the rigging, and then asked if they all could swim. Mr. M'Nab answered that he could not. 'Then keep by me,' said Mr. Cochrane, and I will save you.' Full ten minutes elapsed before assistance reached them, during all which time, and though all but exhausted himself, he never let go his charge. When the boat reached them,the persons in her could see nothing of Mr. M'Nab, and it was only on hauling in Mr. Cochrane, then in an insensible state, that they found he still retained a firm hold of his companion, although unfortunately he was unable to keep his head out of the water. Mr. M'Nab was taken on board the Indus, and every effort made by Dr. Donville and other medical gentlemen to restore animation, but all too late—the vital spark had fled. He was a universal favourite, and his loss will be long felt and deplored by his fellow-townsmen: With his bereaved family we sincerely sympathise. It is impossible to listen without emotion to the accounts of Lieutenant Cochrane's noble conduct by those who witnessed it, and the extent to which he risked his own life in attempting to save another's; and we believe that nothing would more gratify numbers of qur citizens than to have the opportunity of manifesting their feelings in the only way possible, by contributing towards a testimonial of a suitable character to mark their appreciation of such an act of real heroism."

' During the late exceedingly hot weather the Civil Tribunal of Nantes has held its sittings at half - past silt in the morning. TEUNDERSTO_RMS. In Yorkshire and Lancashire, in common with many other parts of the country, violent thunder storms have occurred this week. The lightning was very vivid, and was accompanied with heavy falls of rain and hail, the latter in many instances being little less .than showers of masses of ice, the hail stones being so large and numerous. Several cattle and sLeep are reported to have been killed, and one or two human beings. The destruction of the grow ing crops, windows, and other property is immense. At Hemsworth, near Wakefield, on Monday even ing, the hailstones, or rather small blocks of ice, were of a peculiar shape, and from two to three inches in length. Every pane of glass in the man sion of Major Vincent, at Hemsworth, Lane Ends, was more or less broken. Mrs. Vincent says she could compare the commencement of the storm to nothing hilt a vast avalanche, destroying everything in its way. At Painthorpe and Chapeithorpe, also near Wakefield, the ground was covered with large hailstones the morning after the storm, and in both places numbers of windows were shattered. At Wakefield much damage was done by the rain as well as the hail, many windows being broken and dwelling-houses inundated. At York on Monday night and Tuesday morning the storm was very ~ severe, and an agricultural labourer named Low ther, residing at Barnsby, while proceeding to work; was struck with the electric fluid, and expired ' directly. A companion with whom he was walking had his clothes burnt, but received no further in jury. Considerable damage was done in the neigh bourhood to houses, &c. At Pontefract on Monday the storm was accompanied by a terrific fall of hail, and a great number of windows were broken— scarcely a house on one side of the town escaping. The storm lasted an hour, and several, cornfields and other crops were literally cut up. At Knaresborough the storm was terrific. The electric fluid passed down the chimney of Mrs. Shann's house, in High Bond-end, and through the Jitchen roof. In its course it struck Mrs. Shann's son, but did no more than stun him. The houses in two or three places , were inundated, but the storm was not attended with any fatal result. The crops in the dis trict have not suffered so much as was anticipated. At Bramhope and Otley the storm raged with great fury, but happily without doing much damage. At , Bramhope the house of Mr. S. Cawthrees was en tered by the lightning ,the glass of the clock broken and one of the daughters struck down insensible. She was restored, however, in a short time. At Holmfirth, though the storm was very severe, no - serious damage was done, save the destruction of several thousand squares of glass in the town and at Thongs-bridge, Netherthong, Cliff, and other places. At Doncaster the storm was not so severe, and passed over without doing much damage. At Huddersfield the storm, with the exception of a " down-pour" of rain, was not much felt. At Hill house a house was struck, but received little injury. At Honley a furious hailstorm broke many hundred squares of glass. At Kirkburton many houses were flooded, and the thunder was loud and continuous, but the damage done, however, was trifling. All around the suburbs of Huddersfield the glaziers were reaping a rich harvest. Around Snalth the hailstones were larger than hen's eggs, and win dows were broken everywhere. At Malton the storm continued without intermission from 6 in the evening to between 3 and 4 next morning. Beyond the death of a few sheep and the destruction of some trees, no more serious accident from the lightning occurred. At Oldham, Middleton, St. Helen's, and Warrington the destruction of glass has been immense. At Warrington alone it is said 50,000 squares of glass have been broken by the hailstones, some of which were four inches in circumference, and at Haslingden a woman was killed by the lightning. At Leeds there was a heavy fall of rain on Wednesday night with thunder and lightning, and some damage was done by the flooding of several dwelling-houses, warehouses, and other places. The same evening there was a second heavy storm at - Wakefield, by which the low-lying portion of the town was sub ject to immense damage from the accumulation of water. All the lower apartments of the houses were flooded to the extent of some five or six feet, and the inhabitants lige to take refuge in the upper storeys. Whet! the usual service was concluded in St. Mary's Chantry the clergyman and congregation found their egress stopped by a swollen stream of water. They were kept prisoners in the chapel for some hours, and on a partial subsidence of the tempest had to be con veyed away in cabs. In Back-lane 15 yards of a wall, eight feet high, which formed the northern boundary of the Unitarian Chapel, was swept away • by the flood, which broke open the schoolroom doors in its progress, choking up and destroying the in terior. At Cheviot-park, the residence of Sir Lionel Pilkington, the High Sheriff of Yorkshire, all the windows and a great deal of the valuable furniture were utterly destroyed. Sir Lionel estimates the damage to his house and crops at £6OO. Mr. Ibbot son, one of Sir Lionel's tenants, had 30 acres of splendid wheat utterly ruined, and estimates his loss at £BOO. Mr. Richardson, of Woodthorpe, sustained damage to the 'extent of £300; and at Walton £l,OOO will barely cover the loss sustained by Mr. Charles Coldweli, Mr. Ellis, of the same place, has also had his crops damaged to the extent of £3OO or £4OO. Yesterday (Friday) afternoon there was a heavy fall of rain at Leeds, with some lightning and thunder. WOKINGHAM.-It is now nearly 20 . years since the neighbourhood of this town was visited with such an awful storm of thunder, lightning, and hail as occurred on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 20th inst. The atmosphere had been highly charged with electricity for several days previously, and while most people expected a , storm, no one ima gined there was in reserve such an awful fury of the elements as the inhabitants had to experience on the day in question. In the morning the clouds were thick and heavy, and the temperature ap proached some Nhat that which people have to ex perience in the East Indies. It was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when the rumbling of thunder was heard, and the storm slowly approached the town. The lightning was continuous and vivid, and the rain for half an hour fell in torrents deluging the streets, and carrying a l mos t everything before it. Hail accompanied the storm, but it was not of such strength as to do anything but trifling damage in the town. In a district a few miles hence, and in a direc tion from south-west to east, for the distance of several miles, the storm exceeded in violence that of the year 1840, when a large breadth of agricul tural produce was laid prostrate and most seriously injured. The storm was not one of ordinary hail, but of large rough pieces of ice, and it fell with unabated fury for the space of about half an hour. Field after field of corn, ready for the sickle, and in some of which reaping had already been begun and men wire busy at work, has been knocked down. Men reaping were glad to hasten away and find shelter in the nearest hovel or shed from the violence of the tempest, trembling even for their own safety. The inmates of houses were alarmed with the noise of crashing glass, and in a little time all around seemed to be but one mass of ice, which lay several inches thick upon the ground. From the parish of Binfield towards Maidenhead par ticularly heavy and severe. It is impossible Thicket the storm appears to have bee done. Conservatories idea of themischief give anything like an adequate h d ed privateand houses, from the numerous broken nmo t r o e windows in the n C o o t n h s i e z at b o u r t ie t s he ha fr v a e m b ew ee o n rk fe l a w r m fu a ll i y ns sr an as residences] of the gentry and farmers, present the appearance of thearance clergyman of the parishofhavmgbeenriddledb of Hurstymusketry The house has most of the windows broken ; house after house in the same locality has been in the same proportion damaged. At the house of one gentleman, a magis trate of the county, the damage to the conserva tory and mansion cannot be estimated at a less sum than between £2OO and £3OO. On one farm at Hurst nearly a doien gallinas were killed by the hail; and in another place a few young rabbits were discovered by a gamekeeper to be so much injured that they were unable to move. Geese, too, were found to be greatly bruised, and their wings were nearly broken by the large pieces of ice which fell in the storm. The destruction of corn exceeds all present computation, the grain of wheat, barley, and oats appearing to be stripped from the stalks, and fields so vastly cut about that the expense of cutting the crop now standing must greatly exceed the value of the corn that can be hereafter obtained from threshing. The farmers are great sufferers, unless they are secured by a new kind of insurance that has sprung up in the last few years ; but of this nothing is yet known. It is the general belief that the storm in this district ex ceeded in violence and the mischief done that which so greatly alarmed the people here as far back as the year 1839 or 1840. SERIOUS CHARGE OF SHOOTING AT A GAME KEEPER.—About half-past five o'clock on r3 un day morning last, John Donaldson, head-gamekeeper to the winger worth estate, and a tenter named Range' we re out watch ing, when they he ar d a s h o t fired in g pe i g ht-hill wood, into which they enteted and saw a Ar , a n who proved to be Samuel Turner, of Brampton, iron' tone miner, and an other person, run into a clover fielej. Donaldson pursued and overtook Turner, who threats Led that if he approached any nearer he would shoot by ,n. N o twithstanding this threat Donaldson made towards'l Nirnor, who re-commenced running. Donaldson again app; reached near to him, when he turned round and said, "It -3 ou come any further I'll shoot you on the spot." Dons Aldson made a dash at Tur ner, when the latter raised his gun to his shoulder • upon i of the gun and fortunately trT...gger was pulled instantly and d th iv is er Donaldson ted Aping the groin of the keeper. its s course.str uck Th th e e e esc Rthaensgheorttwheenntcaomff,e just Turner was secured. The other man effected his escape. On Monday last Turner was brought before E. G. M aynard, Esq., and committed for trial at the ensuing af isizes, bail being refused.—.
