I MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. To-day the Discount Market is very quiet, and the transactions concluded have been on the same terms as for some time past. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The silver market remains quiet at current rates. The Mexican dollars by the West India Packet have been disposed of at 59 1, showing a decline of i f per ounce. The Donati from Brazil has brought specie amounting to £52,746, and the Cimbria, from New York, about £B,OOO. The meeting was held to-day of the North Aus tralian Company, when the report stated that the Government had withdrawn the Resident and his party for the present from the Northern territory. A proposition to refund to purchasers the money paid for the land had not been agreed to by the 'louse of Assembly. It appears now that the settlement has not the remotest chance of success. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures remain steady, at 23 25, but the Consoli dated Mortgage Bonds have declined k, to 201 211. The chairman of the Greek Bondholders Com mittee has had an interview with the King, and it is reported at the Stock Exchange that it was very favourable, relative to the probability of an arrange ment of the debt. Two O'CLOCK. At the Stock Exchange there is still a consider able weakness, and especially in the English de partment. Consols are 94 5-16th 7-16th for money, and 94 7-16th 9-16th for the account. The New Three per Cents. are 941 1 ; Reduced Annuities, 944 4 4 ; New 24 per Cents., 774 ; India 6 Per Cents, 1134 4 j ; do. Enfaced 54 per Cents., 108 4 do. 5 per Cent. Debentures, 1051 ; and ditto £l,OOO Bonds, 70s. 665. prem. Scarcely any alteration has taken place in the Foreign Stocks. Mexican 4, to 144 1, and Spanish Certificates have declined 4, to 15/ 16. Other stocks remain firm ; Italian at 481 49 ; Greek at 13 4 ; Spanish Passive at 204 2 ; and Turkish 6 Per Cents. at 311 1. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have only been to a moderate extent, and, with a few exceptions, prices have shown a slight depression. Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Midland, have each receded 1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Eastern (Ber wick), each ; and Great Eastern, and South Eastern each i ; while Great Western and North-Western have each improved 4, and Great Northern 1. The Foreign and Colonial Lines show no material change in value, Antwerp and Rotterdam being dealt in at 81, Great Western of Canada at 154, East Indian at 1094 110, and Great Indian Penin sula at 1101 4. American Securities remain dull and weak. Illinois shares have declined 4, to 774 ; Erie shares continue at 45 46 ; and United States 5-20 Bonds at 734 4. Bank Shares are inactive. London and County new shares have, however, improved to 21 ; and Union of Australia to 48 481 ; London and West minster are marked 73 ; and London Joint Stock have receded to 38. bdiscellaneous and Finance Shares continue ex ceedingly dull. Ebbw Vale have declined to 124 ; and Viceroy of E g ypt' s Mortgage Loan to 684 ; At lantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. are steady at 721 ; Il dsoll's Bay Company at 15 ; National Discount , `',, °4l Pany ',at 114 ; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam at 48, MINING MARKET.

" The Parsee community had a day of general mourning on the 9th instant as a tribute to the memory of the late wife of Mr. Rustomjee Jamset jee Jeejeebhoy.

" The committee appointed at the instance of his lordship the Bishop of Bombay to consider the question of the best mode of dealing with the Euro pean poor of Bombay has concluded its labours, and incidentally recommends to the Government is adoption of a vagrancy act, to meet the ease of loaferism' so prevalent in this city.

The viaduct in question was on the Bhore Ghaut, and was known as the Mhow-Kee-Mulla,' being about six miles beyond Kurjut and three miles on this side of Thakoorwadee ; £60,000 is set down as the estimated cost of replacing it according to one plan proposed, viz., raising a solid embankment between the abutments of the fallen viaduct—a work which would require half a million of cubic yards of earth and stone. "The Terzab, 1,446 tons, Capt. Anderson, com mander, bound from Newcastle, New South Wales, with a cargo of coals for this port, was wrecked on the 17th inst., about nine miles from Bombay, at Alibaugh, and eight of her crew drowned. On the following morning a lifeboat in tow of the steamer Sind, which had been despatched to render assist ance to the wreck, was upset, and seven of her crew, which consisted of twelve Chinamen, were consigned to a watery grave." Tho 7 Imes of _lndia says :—" The situation of affairs in Cabul and Affghanistan continues much the same as it has been for some time past—less pro lific of wars than of rumours of wars. The advance of the ex-Ameer Shere Ali Khan, who was said a couple of months ago to be marching straight onto easy and complete victory, owing to the disaffection of the people in Cabal to the recognised ruler Ameer Afzul Khan, has been delayed in conse quence of dissensions in his own camp. The Sir dar Fyz Mahomed, his most trusty and able general, refuses to do more than defend the approaches to his own province of Balkh, except on conditions which Shere Ali seems unwilling at present to enter tain. Arrangements had therefore been made by the ex-Ameer to advance without his general, though it is scarcely to be believed that he can be so blind to his own interests as to let the disagreement become serious, as this would inevitably secure the success of his rival, the present Ameer. Between Afzul Khan, too, and his able son Abdool Rahman Khan there is at least a grave difference of opinion. Afzul Khan would fain summon his brother Azim Khan to his aid from Candahar ; but his son is very averse to this, being jealous of his uncle, who claims the sovereignty before him. Meanwhile the Ameer Afzul Khan's troops are shut up in Jellala bad, Candahar, Ghuznee, and Cabul, and sur rounded, too, by hordes of hostile clansmen. It is said that about the middle of June the first division of Afzul Khan's force set out to oppose Shere Ali's advance, and it is ex pected that the engagement, which appears inevitable between them, will be the signal for a general attack on the Ameer's other positions. To complicate matters still more, the Shah of Persia has lately been introduced as one who may yet seek to profit by these intestine struggles. Though there is no proof that his Majesty has in any way aided Shere Ali in his attempts to oust Afzul Khan, there are good grounds for suspecting that he has long been a close and observant watcher of all that is taking place in Affghanistan. The Shah has long been desirous of reuniting to his dominions the pro vince of Siestan, which lies to the south-west of Herat, and which, though now Heratic, was for merly a province of Persia. lie has recently under taken a royal pilgrimage to Meshed for the osten sible purpose of worshipping at the holy places there; but Meshed is in a favourable position for acquiring early information of the events of the present struggle in northern Affghanistan." MANCHESTER, Aug. 20.--We had a spiritless and depressed market for yarns and cloths generally. The demand has been without animation, and all classes of goods have been almost equally difficult of sale. For shipping yarns the market has become quieter daily since Friday, and very little business has been transacted. To effect sales to any extent lower prices must be entertained. Continued unsa tisfactory advices from Calcutta have caused buyers for that market almost entirely to withdraw from negotiation for the counts and qualities of yarn usually shipped to India. For the export market there is only a hand-to-mouth business doing for ward. The market for home trade yarns to-day has been exceedingly tame, with very little dispoffition either on the part of our own or other manufac turers to operate. As a natural consequence prices are tending in favour of buyers. In the cloth-market the demand we reported as existing it the early part of last week has subsided very much, and for time last few days buyers have shown a disposition only to operate at reduced rates—such rates, indeed, as manufacturers have been unable and unwilling in many instances to accede to. The consequence has been a very restricted business. India makes of cloth have, perhaps, more especially fallen out of demand under these circumstances, while the better sorts of China shirtings have in most cases more steadily maintained or suffered less diminution in value. To-day the cloth-market has presented ge nerally but a quiet and gloomy aspect, and although sellers in their published quotations do not record any great decline, yet we find goods of all descrip tions weaker in price, and that business transactions for all markets have been not only few but for small amounts. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. raport of this day's cloth market :—" We have to notice a gradual falling off in the demand since last Tuesday, and, though holders have withstood any serious re duction, prices are obviously less firmly maintained. To-day our market is dull, but operations have been on too small a scale to enable us to make any marked change in our quotations. CARDIFF,I9tb.—The demand for steam coal keeps nearly the same as last reported, and slackness still prevails toe considerable extent. Advices from the continental markets are upon the whole less discou raging than they were a few weeks ago, and there is a fair probability of an increase in the consump tion. The curtailment of operations at the iron and other works, the opening of so many new collieries, together with the extension of others, has brought an increased quantity to market, and hence the slackness is more felt than would otherwise be the case. The Birkenhead traffic has somewhat in creased, and it is evident that there is a determina tion to dcvelope this branch of the coal trade to the fullest possible extent. Coastwise there is a fair business doing in house qualities. Coke proprietors complain of the scarcity of orders, and there are rather heavy stocks at several of the works. Tin plates are firm and the works well employed. LEEDS, 20th.—There was a moderate attendance of buyers in the clot h ball to-dat, but the markets were not so active as last Tuesday. The goods selected have been of a miscellaneous nature, including a fair p or tion of ordinary cloths and tweeds, as well as heavy fabrics, such as beavers, witneys, pilots, and other over -coatings. There is no change in the general employment of the woollen manufacturers of the surrounding districts, most of them being well employed, but many of them complain that their orders on hand for future delivery are but small. Prices are firm, those of cloth as well as those of wool and woollen yarns. ROCIIDALE, 19th.—The flannel market has been thinly attended to-day, and only a small amount of business wr.s done. The goofs selected included a fair portion of both plain and fancy flannels. About as many Yorkshire goods, or rather more, were sold than last week. Not much business was done in wools. Prices of both goods and wool were steady, being quite as brisk as for some time past.

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. At precisely a quarter to two o'clock the Lon') CHAN cELLon, attired in his Peer's robes, entered the House, and prayers were then read by the Bishop of Chester, the junior bishops occupying a seat in the house. At their conclusion his lordship took his seat on the woolsack, when a sprinkling of ladies also occupied the benches of the Peers. The Lords' CJrnmissioners, who consisted of the Lord Chancellor, the Dukes of Richmond and Beaufort, and the Earls of Bradford and Devon took their scats before the throne, and desired that the members of the Rouse of Commons should be summoned to their lordships' bar. After the usual interval the Spoaker, together with the lion. membors, made their appearance, but as they did not consist of more than thirty p3rsous they wore not a very formidable body. The LORD CHANCELLOR then road her Majesty's Speech, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The Parliament was then prorogued iu the usual formal manner. OUSE OF COMMONS-THIS DAY. There not being 40 members present, the Speaker did not take the chair to-day, but remained sitting at the table until the arrival of " Black Rod," to summon the House to the House of Peers to hear Her Majesty's Speech pro roguing Parliament read by Royal Commission. On the arrival of the stately official, the Speaker quitted the House, and after an absence of half an hour returned, and, having informed the House of what had taken place, shook hands with several members, and then quitted the chair. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell). THE TAILORS' STRIKE. An application was made this morning to the learned judge for the postponement of the trial of those defendants committed for trial, previous to those whose case was heard by Mr. Knox on Satur day last, on the ground that at the next session the whole of the defendants could be tried together, which would be a great convenience. The learned judge refused to entertain the application. The trial of the defendants committed in the first instance was then proceeded with. The great point involved in the trial is the legality or illegality of the " picketing" system, and a long array of counsel appeared in the case. Sergeant Ballantine led for the prosecution, and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., was the leader for the de fence. The evidence given was a repetition of that adduced in the first instance at Marlborough-street, the greater part of the day being occupied with the examination, by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, of Lambert, formerly a sergeant in the E division of police, whose evidence went to show the system of picketing was carried out very energetically, and that he had seen the pickets interfere with the out door workpeople of Messrs. Smallpage and other employers. The case is not expected to conclude to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —This Day, MARLBOROUGII-6TREET. SHOCKING TREATIIENT OF A WlFE.—Thomas M'Creith, a tailor, living at No. 10, Union-street, Bond-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wifo, Ann M'Creith, and also Sabina Volcroth, a married woman. The complainant was led into court, and appeared very ill, her head being envelored in surgical bandages. Sho is in a state of pregnancy, and was allowed to give her ovi- deuce seated. On being sworn, she said— I reside at No. 10, Union street, and the prisoner is my husband. Ho is in the habit of continually ill-using me. This morning, about 1 o'clock, we wore on our way home, in company of our landlady, Mrs.Vulcroth, and when at the corner of Bond street my husband struck mo down with his fist, and he afterwards pushed me into a cab and sent me home. He followed shortly afterwards, and while I was sitting in a chair in our own room ho seized me by the hair of my head, and dragged me down and kicked mo all over the body and head, and I had to go to the hospital. There were some of our children in the room at the time. I cried and screamed " Murder !" as he was kicking me so, but no one came up to my assistance. At last I managed to get downstairs, and on going outside and seeing a con stable I gave him into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was ho drunk? Complainant He was. Prisoner—l've no questions to ask. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are much hurt about the head ? Complainant --Yes, and I am to go to the hospital when I leave this court. I feel very much the effects of a kick in my side. Mrs. Sabina Volcroth, landlady of the house No. 10 Union-street, said yesterday the prisoner and his wife, and my husband and myself went out together. The com plainant wished, on our returning home, to got some fish, and I went with her to a shop for the purpose, leaving our husbands at a public house. Wo had to wait at the shop a short time, and my husband went home. The prisoner then came up and said to the complainant, " Where have you been," and before she could answer him he gave her a violent blow on the head, knocking her down in the middle of the road. Two men passing by picked her up and placed her on a door step. The prisoner then abused me, said 1 was a bad woman, that I had no business to be with his wife, and knocked me down ; but I am a respectable woman and have seven children. lie also said that his wife was drunk, but that was not true. The prisoner then pushed his wife into a cab and sent her home, and ho followed. I afterwards heard the prisoner ill-use his wife, and the poor children trying to save her as much as they could. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did you heat blows ? Witness—Yes. I heard him beating her, the child was crying, and the complainant calling " Murder." The pri soner afterwards came down to the door and abused her, and said he would set fire to the house. I would have gone to the complainant's assistance, but I was afraid the pri soner would assault me again. Mr.Tyrwhitt—Have you knownhim to ill-treat his wife before? Witness—l have. police-constable Thomas Weales, 240 C—W hile in Bond-street this morning I heard a female scream, and afterwards saw the complainant with her face and head smothered with blood. Sho told mo that her husband had assaulted her, and on my going to No. 10, Union-street, and she pointing out the prisouer as her husband, I took him into custody. The prisoner was drunk. After the prisoner was charged I took the complainant to the Mid dlesex Hospital, whero she was attended to, and she is to attend there again to-day. prisoner—l have nothing to say. I found my wife helplessly drunk, and called a cab and sent her home. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The question at present is, whether, in the state tho complainant now is, she will not suffer seriously. The prisoner will be remanded. We must see whether the complainant lives or dies. THAMES. A TICKET-OF-LEAVE CONVICT.--JAMOS 00ghlan, alias Brown, alias Briant, a young man well dressed, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with failing to make a monthly report of himself at the station-house of the II division, Leman-street, Whitechapel, in accordance with the conditions of his licence on receiving a commutation of punishment. Inspector Holloway, of the II division, said the prisoner was charged at that court and committed a. few days ago on a charge of being concerned in a very serious burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. Iluxtable, tailor, in Dock street, Whitechapel, opposite the new wing of the sailors' Home. A shutter was sprung, a large sheet of plate glass smashed, and a suit of clothes, a quantity of cloth, and other property taken away, Yesterday the grand jury at the Old Bailey ignored the bill against the prisoner, and he was discharged. Ile thou apprehended him on the pre sent charge. The Commissioners of Police gave directions for the prisoner to be arrested. The prisoner was a ticket of-leave convict, and was discharged front tlle Milbank Penitentiary on the 16th of May last. At that time there was about eight months of his sentence of four years' penal servitude unexpired. Mr. Benson—Did the prisoner receive any notice of what he was to do and how to report himself when ho was dis- charged with his license? _ _ _ luspector Holloway—Yes, sir; he was served with a form of instructions. Daniel Davey, police sergeant, No. 3 11, said he was pre sent at the Middlesex Sessions on the 22 , 1 of February, 1364, when the prisoner was convicted of larceny from the person. A previous conviction was then proved against him, and ho was sentenced to four years' penal servitude, which would not expire until the 21st of next February. Inspector Dendy, of the II Division, said that the pri soner reported himself at the Loman-street station-house on the 17th of May last, the day after he left Millb:till( Prison, and he then received a printed form and notice to report himself monthly. The prisoner neglected to repor himself again after that. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Benson said the prisoner's license was forfeited, and ho would have to go back to Millbank Prison to servo out the remainder of his sentence. lie ordered Inspector Hol loway to take the prisoner into custody and remove him to tha pi icon. THE ALLE IN SPAIN, BADAJOZ, Aug. 17. The Governor of Badajoz has issued the follow- mg circular : • On the Ist and 2d of the present month rumours were current that a band of armed and mounted marauders had made their appearance in the pas ture land of Valdeganias, in the jurisdictional limit of the Valley of La Serena and Don Bonito. " Proper measures having been adopted, some troops of the Civic Guard and several of the inhabi tants of the neighbouring towns set out in pursuit of these marauders, but it subsequently transpired that the rumour was entirely false. This point having been cleared up, it by some means became known that ten or eleven of the inhabitants of Zakunea had met together on the Ist and gone on horseback to divide or fix the boundary lines of certain ground bordering upon the pasture land of Valdeganias. The person from whom the first information on the subject was obtained, acting thoughtlessly and precipitately, characterised as a band of marauders what was simply a group of ' peaceful citizens. For the reasons above specified this Government has taken the necessary steps to render responsible for this false report the person by whom it was spread. "The entire province enjoys complete tranquil lity, and not even the least symptoms of moral or material disorder have shown themselves in any of the burghs in this province. "The present announcement is made publicly in order that it may be brought to the knowledge of all. "Be it known that I am determined to punish the propagators of false news with the utmost rigour and inflexible severity of the law, such news being generally the result of a preconceived plan to excite the public mind and keep up a state of alarm. " Luc lANO MARIN. " Badajoz, Aug. 8, 1867." BARCELONA, Aug. 17. The following order of the day has been issued by the Captain-General of Catalonia to the troops in the province, followed by a decree declaring martial law in the four districts of Catalonia : " Soldiers of the Army of Catalonia,—Your pre sent attitude confirms your well-known reputation for loyalty. " Three insignificant bands, commanded by men held in utter reprobation on account of the crimes with which they are familiar, are the miserable re sult obtained in this province by the efforts of revolutionists both within and without. Your comrades, determined and resolute, are closely pur suing these bands, and will soon destroy them. " The peaceable inhabitants of our fine town are, as you perceive, pursuing as usual their daily occu pations with the most perfect tranquillity, and it is an honour for you that it is upon the performance of your duties that the tranquillity and confidence of the public mind rests. Your Queen and your country thank you. Z heir gratitude will ever re main graven in their hearts.—COMTE DE CHESTE." " DECLARATION OF STATE OF SIEGE. "In conformity with the laws, the case pro vided for by these laws having presented itself, in accordance with the opinions of the civil and judicial authorities, and with my own judgment, and as a necessary preventive measure for better securing the tranquillity and peace of families and the property already treacherously attacked in some localities, I, the Captain, General of Catalonia, order as follows : _ " Art. I. The territory of the four provinces of Catalonia is hereby declared to be in a state of siege. " Art. 11. Persons committing the crimes of re bellion, sedition, or resistance to the public force, together with their accomplices and abettors, shall be promptly and summarily tried, and sentenced by ordinary court-martial. "Art. 111. The judicial and civil authorities w continue in the free exercise of their functions, ex cept in cases under my own jurisdiction, conformably with the law of public order and other regulations iu force during the state of siege. " COMTE DE CIIESTE. " B•trcelona, Aug. 17, 1867." The Diario contains the following : " The three bands who had made their appearance under the command of Valdrich in the Papiol, an almost impregnable position, and who had declared their intention to resist the troops sent to pursue them, have been dislodged from their position, two of them being captured. They are very few in number, and badly armed, and offered but a faint resistance. They are followed up by the troops without intermission, and the impracticable nature of the ground alone has up to the present prevented their being overtaken. "To these amalgamated factions, who do not exceed in number 150 men, must be added another band at Aysona, in the province of Lerida, number ing 40 men, badly accoutred, who are being pursued by a detachment of troops from Lerida. Lastly, at Villanueva and Geltra, Escoda caused a rising, and after unblushingly pillaging private families and public establishments of moneys amounting to 20,000 piastres fell back in the direction of Cabello. " The detachment of troops sent by the Captain- General by the steamer Leon was received by the inhabitants with enthusiasm; the population, groan ing under the oppression of these bandits, hailed the military as liberators. In their flight the marau ders fell in with a corporal and four carbineers, whom they were afraid to attack, but who received them with a sharp fusillade. They are being closely pursued. This contemptible issue to a rising, the importance of which has been so greatly exaggerated, has dispelled all alarm in this capital. As for the troops, it would be impossible for them to exhibit greater loyalty." THE BOMBAY MAIL. By the Overland Mail we receive news from Bombay to the 24th of July, the principal portions of which are contained in the following summary, compiled from the Times of India and the Bombay Gazette : "The latest date from Great Britain by the Indo- European Telegraph is July 19. The line has im proved iu working during the fortnight, but five miles of the Indian line, between Kurrachce and Bombay, have been destroyed by a storm. Double rates are in future to be charged from Kurrachee on all messages for Great Britain and France con taining groups of figures without specifying the commodity to which they refer. " A memorial to G overn ment is being circulated among the shareho lders of the Bank of Bombay for praying Government to bear a large pro s attending the b a d managemen t spoifogrnttiali pro portion nubank. the " The state of the public health in Bombay con tinues very satisfactory. A few cases of cholera are reported to have occurred in her Majesty's 109th Regiment, at POOll3. Cholera is also reported at Simla and Murree. " Colonel Strachey, R.E., director-general of irri gation, has written a minute to show that the Scinde Railway should not ho extended until irrigation works have been provided. "The total receipts of the Indian Railways for the quarter of 1867 were £1,503,060, the miles of line open being 3,5 36 1. " A commission has been appointed to inquire into the alleged mismanagement and irregularities in the P anjaub Railway. " The Indian Finance Minister has completed a seheme for the introduction of a gold currency into India. i 4 Th e crew of the United States man of-war steamer Sacramento, wrecked on the Madras coast, are to be forwarded to America in the ship General Caulfield. " The attempt to raise the floating dock whic h sank at Rangoon has been abandoned as impractic able. " The accounts from Orissa up to July 5 are as satisfactory as could be expected. The crops were looking well, and there was no considerable increase of mortality. " His Highness the Begum of Bhopal has re quested 04 CoMrament of India, to forviraxcl to her HE STORM. The thunderstorm of yesterday morning was ono of the most alarming and destructive which have occurred in London for many years. As stated in The Sun of yesterday, it began on Monday night at 8 o'clock with sheet lightning and distant peals of thunder. At 2 o'clock the lightning, both sheet and forked, became incessant, and of a brilliancy seldom witnessed in England. At this time it was accompanied by a high wind, and by a deluge of rain. A lull occurred about 3 o'clock, when the wind fell and the air became quite still, and as sultry as it had been on the previous evening. At half-past 3 the most alarming part of the storm began. There was no wind, but heavy rain fell, and long flashes of lightning, even more brilliant than before, were followed for about au hour by incessant peals of thunder. The storm ceased at half-past 4, and a few hours later the sun shone in a clear sky. The accidents reported are less numerous than might have been expected, but damage has been done to houses in all par ts of London. In Pimlico, the Commercial-road, a chimney was struck and fell over the roof of the house. The lightning entered the front room of the third floor, in which it caused considerable damage furniture, but fortunately injured. no one was cabman was struck by the lightning aheiut2re A o'clock n Whitechapel when driving home, and was re moved insensible to the hospital ; and several other cases are reported of a similar kind, the precise na ture of which cannot be ascertained. Other damage is reported front Camberwell and Streatham. At Clapham common the newly-made fire escape, be longing to the Metropolitan . Fire Brigade, was com pletely destroyed. Many of the vessels on the river have sustained damage, but no accidents have been reported. The various works in connection with the main drainage of the metropolis will be par tially stopped i n consequence of the storm, all the cuttings being swamped with rain. It is stated that the injury done to the crops is very serious in all the districts round London, and that the market gardeners, especially at Norwood and Chelsea, have had their plants aud s hrubs all but destroyed. In the neighbourhaod of Guildford and West Surrey generally the storm appears to have been as severe in London. Throughout Monday the weather had been oppressive, an d about 9 p.m. lightning by shot from every quarter o f the heavens, followed loud and continuous pe als of thunder, an d accom panied by a deluge of heavy rain. There was a lull in the storm about 11 o'clock, but at 1 o'clock it broke forth With redoubled fury, and the rain came e he down with a violence almost unprecedented. T storm did not greatly abate until near suainnrise, ceased, when the lightning Leca me less frequent, the r and the thunder only occasionally rev erberated at a di s t ance among the Surrey hills. At Reading s heet lightning continu ed frequent from 9 o'clock u ntil midnight, and a good deal of htn ra i n a fterwards fell .. Forked liging succeeded, the flashes being very vivid an d almost incessa nt between 1 and 2, while the peals of thunder were remarkably loud. At Southampton lightning was first seen in the south about 7 o'clock on Monday evening. It increased in b r illiancy as the sky became more and more overcast a little rain fell, whilst distant t at hu int ader er vals. was occas ionally heard, and Shortly after 11 the storm burst over the town in all its fury, and for about an hour forked and sheet lightning flashed incessantly from every quarter of the heavens, accompanied with loud peals of thunder and heavy rain. The storm went away to the north ward soon after midnight, but for two or three hours subsequently th which was illumined by the intensely vivid lightning, throughout was more brilliant than been witnessed for yew, 67 i ITIE6. 1001 911 1 1 981 8 110 1.1 10 9; SPORTING ;E—This Day.
