LEWIS'S CATECHISMS OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. Published by J. Souter, School Library, 73, St. Paul's Churchyard. ELEMENTARY BOOKS like the following must of necesssity be, in a great measure, mere compilations, and the principal portion of originality to which the Editor can lay claim, consists in his plan, and in the introduction of Etymological and Pronouncing Vocabularies of the technical terms. The great advantages resulting from the introduction of the Technical Vocabularies, are too obvious to require any observation. The Editor, however, may be allowed to remark, that technical terms being for the most part derived from the learned languages, the reason of their application is completely unseen by the mere English student ; and the consequence is that he finds them ex ceedingly difficult to remember. The Greek character 04, here fore, represented by English letters. In these Catechisms the questions do not precede the a nswers , as the series by Dr. Irving, &c., b u t are printed at the end of each part. To avoid, however, any difficulty, each question is numbered so as to answer to its corresponding proposition, which is also num bered. By this plan the tutor ma y e ither teach by interrogation or not; and persons, who may use the work for their own instruc tion, or for the purpose of reference, will not be confused and in terrupted by a number of superfluous questions. As school books they will be found to possess many advantages over the common catechisms ; not the least of which is their capa bility of being used as reading books for classes ; in which case, if the tutor employ the questions in interrogating his pupils, they will be found peculiarly useful in exercising the memory, as well as in enforcing attention to the subject. *„. It is a remarkable fact that the some of the best books in our language have remained unnoticed for years, until some fortui tous circumstance has brought them before the public, when they have at last met with that patronage they had so long deserveds No class of books, perhaps, is so liable to sink into unmerited oblivion as books on education, if not properly introduced to the public on their first appearance. That the intrinsic value of the Catechisms, by Mr. W. G. Lewis, offered to the public a few years ago, would long since have insured their adoption, for the junior classes, in most of our respectable Schools, there can be no doubt, had it not been for the unfortunate embarrassment of their first publisher soon after their appearance; since which they have remained upon the shelves of others, unno ticed, because their merits were unknown. The present publisher, however, who has now their entire ma nagement, promises that nothing shall be wanting on his part to bring them properly before the public ; and he feels assured that he is not too sanguine in expecting they will be very extensively pa tronized.

The anniversary dinner of the supporters of the Schools esta blished by the Middlesex Society, took place on Thursday, at the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, at which Dr. LUSHINGTON, M. P., pre sided, supported by C. B. SIIETFIEL, Esq., a Magistrate of the county, the Rev. W. A. MAOOOCKS, Minister of Stepney New Church, and other influential gentlemen of the Tower Hamlets. The Hon. and Learned Chairman, and other speakers, addressed the company in support of the cause which had brought them to gether. It appears that this institution was established in the year 1781, for the education of 100 boys, 80 of whom are clothed, and 40 girls, in the principles of the Christian religion and general knowledge. Since its establishment no less than 3,163 chil dren have received benefit from it. We regret to state, however, that latterly its funds have declined, and it is at present nearly 2001. in debt. About 50/. was collected at the dinner. THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. Yesterday, being the Ist of August, the Act for the Abolition of Slavery in our West Indian Colonies came into operation, and the glorious event was celebrated by a-party of Noblemen and Gentle men at the Freemasons' Tavern ; the Earl of Mulgrave, late Go vernor of Jamaica, in the Chair. About 130 sat down to dinner, among whom were, besides the Noble Chairman, Lord Morpeth, Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., the Right Hon. Spring Rice, M.P., Dr. Lushington, M.P., Mr. F. Buxton, M.P., Mr. Vernon, M.P., Mr. Wilks, M.P., Mr. Baines, M: P., Mr. Peter, M.P., Mr. Bish, M.P. ' Mr. Stewart, M.P., Sir 11. Verney, 11. P., Sir G. Grey, M.P., Mr. Ward, M P., Mr. Pownall, &c. &c. The dinner was served up in Mr. Cuff's usual style of elegance. The cloth being withdrawn, _ The NOBLE CHAIRMAN proposed "the health of the King;" which was drunk with three times three. The next health was that of "the Queen," which was drunk with similar honours. "_The Royal Family ;" three times three. Mr. F. BUXTON then rose amid loud acclamations. He said that he had to propose the toast of " the Emancipated Negroes ;" but before he did so, he should put a question to their Noble Chairman, who had lately been Governor of Jamaica, to ascertain from him whether the negroes were prepared to receive freedom, and to use it discreetly, or whether emancipation was really that perilous experi ment which it had been described to be ?—( Hear, hear. ) The Noble CHAIRMAN then rose amid much cheering, and said that as he was thus called upon, he should detain the assembly for a few minutes : it would be first. necessary to explain why, having been Governor of Jamaica, and having through life felt so strong an interest in this question, he was that day present ; he did not mean why, being in London, he was at this meeting, but why he was in London at all ; or why he was not rather in the West In dies, gazing with joy and triumph at those glad countenances which on this day gleamed for the first time with the life and happiness of liberty.—( Hear, hear.) The explanation was short ; had it been a matter of inclination, he should have remained in Jamaica, but the state of his health, impaired by the climate, rendered an imme diate return to England indispensable to the saving of his life. He had on this sole account returned, and thankful was he that his health had permitted him to join this meeting on so glorious an occasion ; he was well satisfied that had not this great measure of emancipation been conceded, a fatal convulsion of so ciety in the West Indies would have speedily taken place.--( Hear, hear.) The state of things which he found on his arrival in Ja maica convinced him of this. With reference to the capabilities of the negroes for receiving emancipation, he was quite convinced, from his personal knowledge of them, derived from a seven weeks' tour in Jamaica, and addressing an aggregate body of 50,000 ne groes, he was quite sure that they were fully capable of making the best use of their freedom, and of raising themselves, by the aid of education, to an equal height in the scale of civilization with their white brethren. The awful state of things which existed in those Colonies, while slavery existed, was now at an end ; his Noble Pre decessor in the Governorship had said that the revenues of Jamaica would be never developed till slavery was abolished, and he fully concurred in this view ; and he trusted that, now slavery was abo lished, this country would begin to derive the real advant ages she was entitled to expect from these Colonies. The Noble Lord then entered into an affecting detail of the sufferings of the negroes which he had witnessed, but had been unable to remedy, in conse quence of the law, which gave to the owner the right of inflicting 39 lashes on his slave.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. F. BUXTON said that he wanted words to express his delight at being one of a meeting assembled on so glbrious an occasion To-day those men were free who yesterday were slaves who might be carried like cattle to the market for sale or hire.—(Cheers). It was a glorious thing for us Britons, who were at one time ourselves described by Cicero as " slaves, not fit for the service of the accom plished Atticus"—(a laugh)—to have thus effected the emancipa t►on of the negro population.—( Cheers). We had thus done away with a system which engendered a frightful degree of crime; and a mortality which, if it prevailed over the other parts of the world, would, in fifty years, have depopulated the whole world. The Hon. Gentleman then said, that though rejoicing at the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, he still had to regret its prevalence to an awful extent elsewhere, and particularly in America, and he trusted our best exertions would be used to do away with slavery all over the world.—( Cheers). He . would conclude by proposing, as a toast, " The health and prosperity of the emancipated negroes." —(Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three. Mr. SPRING Rice, in an eloquent address, in which he declared his intention to perfect to the best of his ability the great work which had been thus so happily begun, then proposed " The poli tical, commercial, and social prosperity of the colonies." The toast was enthusiastically drunk. Mr. LECESNE, a gentleman Of colour, then rose to propose the next toast, " The health of Lord Mulgrave." The gentleman, in an extremely eloquent speech, depicted the miseries of slavery, and the joy which his sable brethren would feel at their emancipation, and gave a very gratifying account of the affection which the ne groes of Jamaica felt for Lord Mulgrave, and their deep regret at his departure from among them. The Noble Chairman's health was drunk with enthusiasm. Lord MULGRAVE returned thanks in a short but elegant address. Mr. F. BUXTON then suggested that an act of such interest and importance as this should be commemorated ; but that, as the Ist of August was a period at which many persons who might wish to be present were out of town, it would perhaps be better to name Lord Mulgrave's birth-day, the 15th of May—which also happened to be the day on which the measure was brought into Parliament — as the anniversary day. This proposition was received with loud cheet; of assent. Lord MORPETII then proposed " The health of Earl Grey and his Majesty's Ministers," during whose government this great mea sure had been introduced and carried. The toast was drank with three times three..4l. Dr. LUSHINGTON, in an eloquent iddeess, proposed the health of The people of colour, and may they' give their cordial support in every way to their emancipated jegro brethern."— (Cheers. ) The toast was drank with enthusiasm. Mr. O'CONNELL was loudly applauded. He' congratulated the meeting in eloquent terms on the glorious eve 4 they were met to celebrate, and the pledge given them by a liberal and enlightened Administration that the good work should be perfected. Yesterday slavery was a fact ; to-day a memory.—(Cheers.) He certainly had not been one of those who approved of the twenty millions grant—(Hear)—but his objection arose from no feeling of stingi ness, but from a feeling that man was not an " article" to be bought with money, but he was glad the act had been done—the price was nothing compared with the principle.—( Cheers.) The Hon, and Learned Gentleman took occasion to exclaim against the Americans for keeping up the system of slavery ; it was mere hy pocrisy for them to boast of liberty and the rights of men, while. they kept their fellow-men as slaves.—(Cheers.) He again con gratulated the meeting on the glorious revolution which had this day turned 800,000 slaves into 800,000 men. He concluded by proposing as a toast—" The total extinction of slavery all over the world." The toast was drunk with loud cheers. Several other toasts were drunk, and the meeting did not sepa rate till a late hour. The office of Clerk of the Crown has become sub ject, by the death of Lord Bathurst, to the Act passed last session for regulating the offices of the Court of Chancery. It has ceased to be a sinecure, and is converted into an effective office, which can no longer be executed by deputy. The salary also is reduced to an amount which, after payment of the necessary expenses of the establishment, can hardly be estimated beyond 2001. per annum. The Lord Chancellor has appointed his Chief Secretary, Mr. Le Marchant, to the office, but it is understood that the appointment is only tern pora7. ST. JAMES'S PARK.

Scarcely any sportsman, certainly no angler, should be without so original an d remarkable a performance as Captain Medwin has hers given to the public. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—SHnEwsBuRr, JULY 31. RAPE.-THE KING V. THOMAS ROGERS. The prisoner was indicted for having committed a rape upon the person of Anne Cooper, on the 6th of March last. Mr. WATSON conducted the prosecution, and Mr. LEE de fended the prisoner. Anne Cooper—My father lives at Ryton of the Eleven Towns. On the 6th of March I was sent to a mill of Mr. Comberbatch for some bran, at six in the evening. It was very dark. I saw the prisoner there. Another man called him. I told him I wanted some bran, or gurgeons. He took me up stairs for it. I had a bag with me. A man put some gurgeons into the bag, and threw it on the ground. He then threw me down, and committed the act of violence upon me. I shouted out a great many times, but no one came to my assistance. No noise was made by the mill. The witness could not, or would not, at first point out the prisoner as the man who had committed the offence ; but at length pointed him out. She continued—l went home that, night, and took the gur geons with me. I cried when I went to bed. By the JUDGE-I cried because I was frightened by the pri soner. I did not see my mother that night, but I told Ann Jones next morning. I did not tell my mother for three or four, days after ' because I was afraid of her beating me. Jane Jones three or four days after asked me about it, and I told her, and then my mother, and I should not have spoken to her if she had not asked me. Mr. BARON AADERSON then stopped the case, saying that the testimony of the witness was so doubtful the Jury would not think it right to convict the prisoner. It was therefore better for the public morals that the case should not be further investigated. Verdict—Not Guilty. • " THE KING V. JOHN EDWARDS, JOSEPH JONES, THOMAS BOSTWOOD, GEORGE GLAZEBROOK, WILLIAM GLAZEBROOK, CHARLES DA VIES, AND THOMAS DAVIES. The prisoners were indicted for a nuisance in obstructing the King's highway at Madeley, by baiting a bull there on the Ist and 2d of October last. The prisoners, at the suggestion of their counsel, pleaded guilty. Mr. BATHER said the object of the prosecution was to put an end to a serious nuisance, which resulted fram the baiting of a bull, during the space of three days, at Madeley. The prisoners were remonstrated with at the time, but in answer they stated that it was the privilege of Englishmen to bait bulls, and they would do so. Whether they had learnt this from Mr. Wyndham or not, he could not say, but it was only desired that the prisoners should abstain from the renewal of the offence, and therefore they would not be called up for judgment at present. Mr. Baron ALDERSON addressed the prisoners and told them that they ought to abstain from such cruel and unmanly sports. They ought to act kindly towards animals, and not so far dis regard the gifts of God as cruelly and malignantly to bait them for their sport. You may, said the Learned Judge, have been ignorant of the law before, but after this warning such excuse will not remain to you. If you behave quietly, you will never hear any more of it ; but if you repeat this offence, you will be brought up for judgment, and will then be punished severely. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NoBwicH, JULY 31. (Before Mr. Justice BOSANQUET.) John Bean, aged 29, stood indicted for feloniously setting fire to a stack of wheat, the property of Ralph Roper. This ws a case in which' the only evidence consisted of cer tain footsteps, which were observed in the neighbourhood of the burnt stack, and which the witnesses for the prosecution be lieved to have been made by the feet of the prisoner. For the defence, a complete and credible alibi was esta blished. It was shown that the prisoner was at home from six o'clock till the prosecutor went and called him, and that when he ate his supper, at eight o'clock, he pulled off his shoes and set them on the hearth that they might be dry and fit to wear early on the following day.—The Jury acquitted the prisoner. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—DunnAN, JULY 30. (Before Lord LYNDHURST.) MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-- Thomas Hodgson was charged with the murder of Ann Lumsden, at Sunderland, under the follow mg circumstances. _ _ Mr. WATSON and Mr. PIIIPPS prosecuted; Mr. WILKINSON and Mr. INGRAM, Al, P. , defended. The prisoner is a respectable-looking man, about forty-five years of age, a master mariner, and was secretary to the Sea men's Benefit Society at Sunderland. The trial excited great interest, and there was a very great prejudice against the prisoner in consequence of his belonging to the Bible So ciety, and being an agent for the distribution of tracts. Though a married man his intimacy with the deceased wa3 not becoming his pious character. It appeared that the unfortu nate deceased was the widow of a sea Captain, who was drowned about a year ago. After his death the prisoner wrote a letter of condolence to the deceased, tendering all the resig nation of religion. This led to an interview, which finally terminated in an intimacy by no means in character with strict morality ; in fact, they cohabited together. The unfortunate deceased was greatly addicted to the immoderate indulgence of spirituous liquors. On the Bth of April last she sent her little girl with a note to the prisoner, requesting that he would call on her, as she had something particular to communi cate. The prisoner returned an answer that he would meet her at the engineer's house near the cliff on the beach. About half-past .eight o'clock on that evening he called, and they went out together and proceeded towards the cliff. They were heard to converse in an angry tone. About nine o'clock they were seen walking on the shore. On the following morning, about five o'clock, the body of the de ceased was found by two boys under the cliff, about eight yards from the base. The tide was going out. The head lay towards the sea. The legs were astride, the arms extended, the clothes up round the waist. There was blood about the lips, and the nostrils were full. The body was subsequently removed to the workhouse, where it was examined by four surgeons. On stripping it the outer garments were only par tially wet, the under ones perfectly dry. On opening the body the liver was found greatly lacerated, and about four pounds of blood in the intestines ; there was no blood in the heart ; there were some marks of external violence on the ancle and thigh. The brain did not exhibit any marks of violence. A Coroner's inquest was held, at which the prisoner was re quested to attend, but he sent word that he was ill. The Coroner and the Jury immediately 'attended at his house, arid found him in bed. He then made a voluntary statement, in which he admitted that he was with the deceased on the even ing in question ; that she was drunk, and threatened to drown herself in consequence of being disappointed in marriage ; that he endeavoured to console her, when she abused him. He left her a little before nine o'clock. Went into a public-house for a glass of ale. While taking it he was seized with a cho lera bowel complaint. Went home and sent for some brandy and a doctor, and was never out of it since that time. In about sixteen days after the Inquest, the body was disinterred and examined by two other medical men, and they found, on removal of the right kidney, that one of the ribs had been broken, besides an injury at the back of the head. After a long examination before the Magistrates, the prisoner was finally committed for trial. Several medical gentlemen were examined, who all deposed to the state of the body, but there was a great difference in opinion as to whether the injuries were inflicted before death or after ; but the preponderating opinion was that the death was caused by violence, but that violence might have occurred through accident or a fall. As to the circumstance of the deceased's clothes being internally dry, it was evident that she could not have been drowned. Several mariners were called to prove that had the deceased fallen over the cliff, where the body was found, the tide must have carried it a great way to the southward. Still no marks of footsteps were found near the body. The deceased's little girl was called, who proved seeing the prisoner and her mother going out together. She admitted, on her cross-examination, that at the time her mother went out with the deceased the unfortunate woman was drunk, and while in that state she had frequently threatened to drown herself, and that the prisoner was always unusually kind both to her and her mother. The witness who stated that he saw the prisoner and the deceased walking together admitted that he did not tell the Magistrates until after the reward of 1001. was offered. This was, however, negatived by the medical gentleman who attended the deceased, who stated that the hour at which it was alleged he was on the beach he was con fined to his bed. Several witnesses were examined. The trial lasted eight hours. When the case for the prosecution closed, Lord LYNDHURST said that he did not think there was any case to go to the Jury; he therefore would not call on the prisoner for his defence. The Jury concurred with his Lordship, and returned a ver dict of Not Guilty. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—DORCHESTER, JULY 31. (Before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.) JOHNSON V. FRANKS. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for the seduction of the plaintiff's wife. Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated the case, and called the follow ing evidence : Captain Johnson, father of the plaintiff, was present at the marriage of his son with Miss Thornhill on the 20th of Sep tember, 1820. She was a very fine girl, of a very respectable family. The plaintiff was grand nephew of Dr. Bennett, Bishop of Cloyne, and was Rector of the parish of Cloneen, in the e oun ty o f dork. Often visited them since their mar riage. They had six children now living, of whom the youngest was only sixteen months old. Two more died. Never saw a happier couple in his life. Saw them a fortnight before the elopement, and they appeared to him to be on the best terms. Cross-examined by Mr. ERLE—Never heard that a proposal had been made to separate them. He was never applied to to reconcile them. If they quarrelled it was kept a secret from witness. Never saw the plaintiff drunk in his life. Catharine Kilhere was nurse to the plaintiff's family for the last seven years. They lived on the best terms. They lived at times in Mrs. Roach's, and sometimes i n the cottage. The Cross-examined by Mr. FOLLETT—Never knew of any quarrel or difference between them except one night that master brought home some man late at night and put him into the servants' bed-room, at which mistress was very angry. She never complained to witness that he struck her that night, nor did she show the marks of a blow on the head. Never saw him drunk; saw him sometimes tipsy. Never heard mistress say that she could not live with him on account of his drunkenness and ill-treatment of her. Never heard him call her names. Henry Madden Thornhill, brother of Mrs. Johnson, gave evidence of the happy terms on which they lived. Defendant used to visit his mother's house very often during last summer. Witness thought he was paying his addresses to his mother. James Thornhill, brother of Mrs. Johnson, accompanied his sister to Cork on the 24th of August last. The plaintiff had pro po: ed to accompany her, but she made an excuse, saying that she did not wish to be seen on the car with him until the quarrel be twees him and the defendant was settled. It was intended tlic t she should take lodgings at Cove. When they arrived at Ccrk she went into a milliner's shop, and told witness to walk about and call on her at one o'clock. He did so, and she was not there, but she left word that she should be there at six o'clock. About that time witness met the plaintiff in Cork, who told him that she went off in a boat, and that he had traced her as far as a place called Passage. He appeared to be in a state of distraction, and blamed witness very much for leaving her. George Paynter took lodgings for Mrs. Johnson in Ply mouth in September last, at the request of the defendant, where she stayed for a fortnight, during which time the de fendant visited her daily. At the expiration of a fortnight he put her on board a steamer for Falmouth at the request of the defendant. Saw Mrs. Johnson's mother at her lodgings. She was introduced there by the defendant, who walked arm-in arm with her. Mr. GILL addressed the jury for the defendant. Lord DENMAN having summed up, The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1,0001 Nothing of interest occurred in the Crown Court. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, AUG. 1. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) MR. GEE'S CASE. Maria Canning, alias Edwards, John Edwards, Peter Laccasagne, and Jeremiah Weedon, were arraigned for can spiracy. The circumstances of the case have been so fully and so re cently detailed, that it is unnecessary to repeat them here. The CHAIRMAN summed up the whole of the evidence, and at ten o'clock the jury found the following verdict :—Edwards, Guilty of conspiring to imprison Mr. Gee ; Peter Laccasagne, Guilty of a common assault ; Jeremiah Weedon, Guilty in conspiring to imprison Mr. Gee; and Not Guilty as to Maria Canning. The CHAIRMAN said that he would postpone the judgment, to give Edwards an opportunity to produce the witness (the coachman) if he wished it, which he declined, when the Court proceeded to pass judgment, and applied himself particularly to Edwards, whose case, he said, was the most atrocious, and sentenced him to be imprisoned in his• Majesty's gaol of New.. gate for two years ; Jeremiah Weedon to one year in this House of Correction ; Peter Laccasagne to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for six months for the assault. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. AUG. 1. William Aldridge, formerly part proprietor of the " Hert ford Club House," No. 105, Piccadilly, whose case was be fore the Court on a former occasion, came up again. He was on the present occasion not opposed, but was supported by Messrs. COOXE and WoonaoFFE. The insolvent, it appeared, had taken, in conjunction with his brother and a person named John Chanon, the Hertford Club House, and had expended a large sum of money in the fitting up. The speculation failed, and a deed of assignment was made for the benefit of the creditors who had trusted Chanon, and they had been paid a divibnd. The insolvent had executed to Chanon a deed of indemnity, and that person was ordered to attend, and the insolvent to give a specific ac count of a sum of money he hadreceived. To-day Chanon attended and was examined. _ The aIIIEF COMMISSIONER inquired of the insolvent the reason he had not paid his own personal debts out of the 5001. which, it appeared, he possessed last January ? The insolvent said he had paid law expenses. Mr. COOKE remarked that the debts were not large. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—That makes it the worse. The Learned Commissioner advised the insolvent to lead a more creditable life, for if he did not, and came to the Court again within five years, he would not be discharged without the con sent of his creditors.—Discharged accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. Thomas Goodwin, John Ward, andßenjamin Swaby, alias Bryan M' Sweeney, were yesterday brought before Sir F. Rog for final examination, on the charge of having stolen a Post office letter, containing 6,0001. In notes aEd bills, which had been transmitted from the banking-house of Messrs. He seltine and Co., of Rotherham, to that of Messrs. Snow and Co., London. Mr. Peacock, the Post-office, Solicitor, attended on behalf_ of that department, and Messrs. Mangle and Flower, from the office of Messrs. Harmer and Co., also appeared for the IRA soners, together with Mr. W o oler. The evience previously taken having been read over, Mr. Peacock pressed for the committal of the prisoners, to which the Magistrate acceded, and they were committed accordingly. An application was subsequently made to admit them to bail, which was not allowed, and the prisoners were removed from the bar in custody. The prisoner Swaby was also committed for trial on a second charge, of having in his possession a .213/. note, which had been stolen from a letter transmitted by post from Manchester to a Mr. Cornish, of New Turnstile, Holborn. TREMENDOUS . AND FATAL THUNDER STORM. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENlNG.—Yesterday afternoon, at about one o'clock, the town and neighbourhood were visited by one of the most appalling storms of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain, ever recollected in these climes. It lasted about two hours, though its violence subsided in a much shorter space of time. The effects have unhappily been in three in stances fatal to human life ; several persons have suffered much injury, and the swollen waters have inundated mills, and involved cattle, bridges, and other species of property liable to such ravage, in one sweeping destruction, while the hail-stones, which were of singularly unusual dimensions, many having been picked up which measured an inch and a half in diameter, dashed with irresistible violence against win dows, skylights, hot-houses, &c. ; and the damage inflicted in exposed situations by these formidable missiles is incalculably great. The face of the country in many districts, to an extent of many miles round Manchester, was entirely changed ; the low lands assumed the appearance of vast lakes, and tree, herb, plant, and flower—all that could not resist the accumu lated force of countless millions of such extraordinary hailstones, were crushed, and the " glad husband field, the garden, and the sheltered nursery," were alike speedily reduced to deso lation. But the awful part of this melancholy narrative re mains to be told. Two silk weavers, the one named Joseph Nelson, and the other Samuel Grudewell, residing in New ton-road, about three miles from this town, were struck down- by the mysterious agency of the electric fluid, and reduced in a moment from a state of vigorous life to that of the ghastly corpse. They were at work at the time—one was weaving, and the other was employed in doing something to his loom. Two other workmen in the same house received serious injury. The legs of one were miserably scorched— the other underwent a dreadful shock. The other sufferer whose case has come to our knowledge was the wife of a gard ener, residing in Rooden-lane, Prestwich ; she was sitting in her humble cottage, when the destroying flash descended, and she fell down dead upon the floor. It is much to be feared that the mischief resulting from this fearful visitation is but faintly shadowed forth in the above brief notice. Every hour, for some days to come, will no doubt furnish additional in stances of ravages ; and, we regret to add, perhaps of human suffering and loss of life. At about half-past eleven o'clock this morning, several heavy peals of thunder burst over the town, and the lightning was again vivid and frequent, accom panied with a smart shower of rain ; but as the day advanced the weather partially cleared, and the sun breke forth, though not in "unbounded majesty." PROVIDENT LIFE OFFlCE.—Yesterday the Mem bers of this eminent Insurance Office held their fourth Septen nial Meeting, at their house in Regent-street. A voluminous valuation of the liabilities and assets of the institution was laid before them, which gave unmixed satisfaction. It resulted that the profits for the last seven yews had exceeded all former precedent, yielding, after allowing for all liabilities, and making a large reserve in addition, a dividend of 40 per cent. I But of these profits seventeen parts in eighteen went to the persons insured, the original subscribers only taking an e i g hteenth part for their advance and guarantee of a quarter of a million Capital. Much surprise was expressed by several persons present at the unexpected amount of surplus, considering the great reduction which had taken place in the interest of money, the numerous offices which had lately been projected, and the no less numerous list of offices which had given up T after sustaining great losses. This distinguished success was however accounted for from the forbearance of former meet. ings in reserving half the profits to accumulate, the care which was exercised in the admission of lives, and the large extent of their transactions. The beneficial terms for the public on which insurances are effected by the Provident very readily accounts for this extent. Other Insurance Companies have followed the principles of the Provident in giving up a half or a larger proportion of their profits to the insured, but none have approached the benefit of giving to the insured seventeen parts in eighteen of the profits. It was stated by the Managing ; Director as most probable that at the next Septennial Divi dend the Insured will divide all but a twentieth part. That a decided preference should be given to the Provident, under these circumstances, is less surprising than that any persons enter. ing into the serious and lasting engagement of insuring their lives, should fix themselves in offices of questionable stability or conduct, or which are less beneficial in principle. mtormance of the Contract.
