CARLSRV Ilk, JULY 9.—A letter from Viiilipsbnrg of the 7th, contains the following passage :—" Last night our re9t, which we so intieli needed, after 'natty days. incessant la bour to keep the Rhine within its hounds, was , disturbed in a distressing manner. The ringing of bells. and the sound of cannon, as signals- of distress, -anapnneed the dreaded breach of the dyke, Where the Saalhach falls into the Rfhine. Thu dawn of 'the day chewed a lake of tunny hundred acres, where The finest corn-fidds and meadows al e destroyed by the Hood. The distress of the inhabitants, who suffered su much last year by the quartering of troops aril supplying the magatittes, is tarry great. All the neigtiboat itig districts suffer more or less from similar-causes. THUNDUR STORMS, Scc. 8ATti.. , ...A dreadful thunder storm broke over 'huh on 'flintWay forenoon ; a Ore-hull struck the louse-of WiNbsuß, in Jatues-street , but providentially no lives were lost, though it en tereelJbe nursery %rhere several cliildren were At play. Ntinwicit.—On Thin's , lay last, between three and tour o'clock in the afternoon, we were visited by a tremendous thtintler-stotm. In use instance the thunder so immediattly tollowed the tiftig, that it was I.,.ident vii explosion had taken place very _near. It was soon known that this had happened fleas St Giles's Gate, The light ning was attracted by the chimney of a cottage near Mr. Barnes's lint e-....n5„ and in its way to the thi . ec,persons were struck by it--a mae and a boy tvio had ikik - en shelter in the door-way, and a young , ttoinan in the cottage. The man and boy were th,o,%n ituwn t the hay wits in a state of insensibility, thong!? retaining minks of life the wan soon got up, ,was but little hurt, and complained only of numbness in one ; and the young woinan had only a slight uneasi, nest on her check, which tea,, however, evidently nflamed. On exantininir the boy, the hair on the back p art o f hi s hea l was burnt, and there were some singular fed :radiated streaks on the surface of the skin., both on his should/A.3 end elicit, evidently scorched by heat. Ills situa tion appearing to be with eonsideraWe danger, be -was conveyed to the Hospital, and we are happy to find that on Friday MUElling . he was perfectly recovered ; but be had nut the .slightest re•collectitm of the storm, or of- his bay ing sought shelter in this cottage. On examining the Cotta4e,' it was evident the lightning had been attracted by the chimney, and that it descended in part dawn theelanthey Hod in . part down two stitch staircases at one end of it, Tomiannicating with the two rooms of the cottage. The mortar on the walls near the staircases and .chimney was, in several places, thrown off; the top or one door to the stair-case wut scorched, the handle of a warming -pan, hanging near the stairs, Was split from one end to the other, a look , ing-glass over one fire-place was thrown down and broken to pieces, and the top of the outer-door and the mortar on the adjoining wall shattered., and it was here where , the luau and boy received the shock. - No one within the cottage received injury ex cept the }'ol,lllg woman Mrs. Barnes's , servant, whose cheek was slightly inflamed:. The escapa of all the persons within the cottage, for there were several in the other end, was most extraor dindrY.'4tnd that of the , boy still more so, as be evidently received the electric fluid on his person, but'it passed over the sin face f - ,his clothes being wet, Were probably a more reedy conductor of it. The boy is twelve years of age, and his name is John ,Foster.

One of the hail stol e s, which was taken in the town of Kiln's!), weighed a quarter of au mince.

The lightning excited considerable alarm on some parts of the southerti coast also, where gritat da mage has 'been done, particularly in the gardens and orchards, and is described by to my people to have been the most terrific and awful visitation they ever remember to have witnessed.
