BRUSSELS, MAY 18.—A letter from the Hague, dated the 16th, announces that the Prince and Princess of Orange and their eldest son will shortly go to London. The Independant now acknowledges that it was led into an error by a correspondent at Ostend, announcing the arrival of Lord Durham in that town. The Dutch have arrested, at the distance of a league from Maestricht, and conveyed to the prison in that for tress-1. M. Jamini, advocate, at Leige, late deputy; 2. M. Hypels, judge at Tongres ; 3. M. Ruys, member of the same tribunal ; 4. M. Nierstaz, clerk to the same ; 5. M. Vanderstractea, receiver of the customs. The Journal of Aslon, of the 15th, says, that on the 13th some Prussian Lancers went to two villages three. qt arters of a league beyond the line of the territory of the fortress, to see if there were any armed men there. Some Prussian soldiers also went to Mersch, where there is a company of Belgian troops. We do not learn that any obstacle was thrown in their way. M. Lebrocquy, one of the editors of the Journal du Commerce, has left Antwerp, being alarmed at the steps taken by several officers of the garrison to lay hands on Mtn. BRUSSELS, MAY 19.—The Minister of War set out yesterday afternoon for Tournay. The Britannia, English steam-boat, and the Dart sloop, arrived at Ostend on the 18th, to take on board 200 volunteers for the service of Donna Maria. M. Jamini and the other gentlemen, whose arrest we mentioned, having been confined for one night in the officer's apartment in Fort St. Pierre, near Alaestricht, were visited the following morning by General Braede and a company of police, and after a few questions, were restored to liberty. M. Jamini and the other gentlemen say that they were treated with every mark of attention and courtesy by the Dutch officers. The several Ministerial departments are very busily em ployed in preparing the projects of law which are to be laid before the Chambers. _ _ Monseigneur Barrett, Bishop of Namur, had a private audience of the King yesterday. BRUSSELS, MAY 20.—General Toilet, Minister of FTeign Affairs, is to act as Minister of War during the absence of General Evain, who has obtained leave of absence to go to France. The Independent says, "We are assured that our Minister residing in the United States of America has concluded a treaty of commerce in that republic, by which our tenens will be exclusively exempted from all import duty. On the 15th two battalions of the Ilth Regiment of the line passed through St. 'Proud, on their way to the environs of Maastricht. The Government has given orders to repair the road from Tongus to Maseyck, which passes near the fortifi cations of AlaPs.richt. The Dutch fired on the workmen, and have twice driven them away. General Huret made the right ad vance, and sent to General Delbets to inquire whether this was done by his order ? He received an answer in the negative; General Huret declared that his troops should protect the workmen. The camp of Cashean was in a great state of for wardness. The accounts from Holland are not important. The journals speak of the extreme vigilance that is exercised with respect to strangers, who want to enter Holland. King William will go the army on the 10th June to review it. BRUSSELS, MAY 21.—We have the satisfaction to state that by the new tariff adopted by the American Legislature, and which will come into operation on the Ist Jan. 1334, raw and bleached linens, as well as table linen, will he wholly exempt from import duties. We may add, that the exertions of our envoy in the United States have powerfully contributed to obtain this result, which will be so advantageous to one of the principal branches of our manufactures.—Moniteur Beige. The Government has just been informed that the 114- gian Consuls at Naples, Leghorn, and Dantzic, have been recognised by the Neapolitan, Tuscan, and Prussian Go vernments respectively.—Brussels Papers, May 22. ANTWERP, MAY 20.—Yesterday and to-day several officers have come to our office to demand explanations. Having found none of the editors, they withdrew without repeating the odious threats that they uttered before. We beg these gentlemen to give themselves no farther trouble, being firmly resolved not to accept their chal lenges. As for the acts of violence with which a few of these gentlemen menace us, we repeat here, without de siring to provoke any body, what we told some of them, that we will repel force by force. We are prepared ; and if, which we believe impossible, they should come in a body to attache us, our blood shall not be spilt alone. It would be difficult to describe the sensation excited at Antwerp l•y the letter of General 11Iagnom, in reply to the application' made to him for his protection, by the editors of the Illessag(r du Gand, in which lie tells them that he will not affird them protection, that by their con • tinual atterni is to create rebellion and disobedience to the King's Government, they have wounded the honour of the army, that he considers them as the enemies of the country and the King, that the situation in which they are placed is of their own seeking, and that he cannot and will not do anything to change it. ANTWERP, MAY 21.—What has pissed at Ghent and Antwerp were only a prelude ; much more serious ex cesses have been committed at Brussels ; in the capital, assassination has already been attempted. M. F. Tournay, editor of the Knout was waited on on the morning of the 17th, by a person not in uniform, who said he was an effiz.er of the Guides of the King, sent by all the officers to order him to cease printing the .Knout, and to give up the names of the principal editors. M. Tournay refusing, and saying that he was answerable to the tribunal, the officer said he would return next day for further explanation. On the 18th the same officer and another person meeting him at his own door asked him to go into the house, which he did, and they had scarcely entered, when, without asking any questions, they fell upon him and beat him in a most dreadful man ner, they then took his pistols, which were over the tire place; having recovered a little he got out of the house, which the assassins perceiving, pursued him across the street into the house opposite, and into the second st ry, where they again fell on bim, and left him apparently dead. M. Tournay says that one of the assassins told him his name was Captain Lahore. The same persons paid also a visit to the office of the Lynx, demanding to see the editors, declaring that if the journal continued to write against the King and his power, detachments of officers and subalterns would come, and would attack, assassinate, &c., even it' they were to go to the scaffold the next day. About half an hour afterwards they returned, repeating their threats, but retired without committing any act of violence ; one of them, Captain Lahure, said he had just trea'ed the editor of the K,.out as he deserved. They had not exercised their threats against the editor of the Lynx. GHENT, MAY 19.—The garrison of this city has been changed this morning ; its place has been taken by the demi-brigade of Colonel Dore. A proclamation has been issued by the civil and military authorities announcing measures to preserve the public peace. It is signed by the Burgomaster, Van Crombrugg-, and General Magnotn. On the 18th, in the morning, a duel was fought near Brus.els between M. L. de Borthren, editor of the Po pellolk, and Captain Lahure; the latt.-r was wounded in the shoulder. His pistol missed fire. The seconds of the editor of ti:e Popellolle declared to the seconds of Captain Lahure that they considered this duel as inde pendent of political opinion., and that they demanded it as a satisfaction for a personal insult.—Journal of Antwerp, Ghent, and Brussels, May 22. Aucsauaa, MAY 16.—The letters from Constantinople by the post are only to the 25th of April. They mention Ibrahint's persisting in the demands of Adana. The Porte, they say, is induced to let matters come to extre mities, but gives itself the appearance o f hesitating to which of the European powers it shall trust its tall, though it is decidedly inclined to Russia. Admiral Roussin, who has tr,quent conferences with the Turkish ministers, re ceives only equivocal answers, which are probably agreed upon with General Butinieff. The latest offer made by the admiral, in the name of France, was " to compel Mehemet Ali, by the blockade of Alexandria, to ac cept the last concessions of the Porte, if the Russian corps suspended its march towards the capital, and if that power would engage to withdraw all its forces from the Turkish territory, immediately after the evacu tion of Natolia by the Egyptians." This proposal was hall-and-half accepted with seeming gratitude by the Reis Effendi, while he at the same time requested M. Van LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1833. Butinieff to hasten the arrival of the Russian auxiliaries. In fact, a third division of the Russian fleet arrived here on the 23d. It consists of one ship of the line, two frigates, and several transports with 5,000 troops, who have been landed, like the preceding, divisions on the Asiatic coast. All this shows that the Sultan, far from making further concessions, is only seeking to give time for the Russian corps to arrive. It is now said that M. Van Butinieff has given the Sultan the opinion that in case of need the Russians will drive the arrogant Ibrahim from Natolia by force of arms; meantime, a French fleet is assembling in the Dardanelles ; arid it is sa'd that an English fleet will also be collected there in a few days. Lord Ponsonby has arrived at the Dardanelles, where he is detained by contrary winds. Public tranquillity has not been at all interrupted. Since the setring in of mild weather there have been more cases of plague in Thesapia and Galata. HISTORY OF BUCKLES. Birmingham, which now produces, with so much reputation, almost every article in iron and steel, was all but unknown for any credit . that attached to its hardware productions in the reign of Henry VII. One article, of very an. cient use in this country, and the manufacture of which has contributed largely to the employ ment of Warwickshire ingenuity, during the last century, the shoe-buckle, is now almost for gotten. Insignificant as it may seem at the present day, the time was, when almost every shod foot in the kingdom was dependent on the buckle for its garniture ; the celebrated works of the Soho, which have been so widely cele brated for the coinage of British and other money, and still more so for the improvement, almost the invention, of the steam-engine, origi nated with the manufacture of those small steel articles of which buckles constituted so important a part. Boulton and Watt must ever be men tioned together in connexion with the Soho works ; bnt it is hardly hyperbolical to say that the patent steam engines of the latter individual have not been more extensively known in this country of late years than were, at one time, the patent shoe-latches of the former. A curious history might be written of the introduction and disuse of the shoe-buckle. Hutton, of Birming- ham, with his characteristic quaintness, thus notices it, in connexion with the seat of its former manufacture :—" This fashion (of piked toes), like every other, gave way to time, and in its stead, the rose began to bud upon the foot, which under the house of Tudor, opened in great perfection. No shoe was fashionable with out a full-blown rose. Ribands of every colour, except white, the emblem of the depressed house of York, were had in esteem ; but the red, like the house of Lancaster, held the pre-eminence. Under the house of Stuart the rose withered, and gave rise to the shoe-string. The beaus of that age ornamented their lower tier with double laces of silk, tagged with silver, and the extremi ties were beautified with a small fringe of the same metal. The inferior class wore laces of plain silk, linen, or even a thong of leather, which last is yet to be met with in the humble plains of rural life. But lam inclined to think the artists of Birmingham had no great hand in fitting out the beau of the last century. The revolution was remarkable for the introduction of William, of liberty, and the minute buckle, not differing much in size and shape from the horse- bean. This offspring of fancy, like the clouds, is ever changing ; the fashion of to-day is thrown into the casting-pot to-morrow. The buckle seems to have undergone every figure, size, and shape of geometrical invention. It has passed through every form in the whole zodiac of Euclid. The large square buckle, plated with silver, was the ton of 1781. The ladies also adopted the reigning taste; it was difficult to discover their beautiful little feet, co vered with an enormous shield of buckle ; and we wondered to see the active motion under the massive load. Thus the British fair supported the manufactures of Birmingham, and killed by weight of metal." The change of fashion that ensued was disastrous to a large class of inge nious artizans, who were compelled to suffer, though not in silence, the loss of their usual employment. In 1791, a deputation of mas ter buckle-makers, from Birmingham, Wal sall, and Wolverhampton, waited upon the Prince of Wales (afterwards George the Fourth) at Carlton House. The object of their audience was to present a petition, setting forth the distressed situation of thousands of individuals in the different branches of the buckle manufacture, in consequence of the fashion then prevalent of wearing strings. His Royal High ness received the petitioners very graciously, and as a proof of his sympathy, not only resolved to wear buckles himself, but to order that his household should do the same. The royal ex ample and the royal command were alike nuga tory, when opposed to the dominion of fashion : strings became general ; and in 1812, to adopt the words of Hutton, " the whole generation of fashions i❑ the buckle line was extinct; a buckle was not to be found upon a female foot, nor upon any foot, except that of old age." During the period referred to by the 13irmingham histo rian, Bolsover, in Derbyshire, now only noted for its castle, was famous for the manufacture of superior steel buckles. The test of their excellent temper, still traditionally reported in the neighbourhood, was, that though the wheel of a loaded cart should pass over a Bolsover buckle, the latter, in consequence of its elasti city, would ❑ot suffer any permanent alteration of shape. Metal clasps, formerly so common for fastening the shoes of children, seem, in their disappearance, to have followed the buckles of the men and women, as they are now rarely met with. What, however, does remain of the shoe buckle and clasp trade is mostly confined to Walsall, as before stated, buckles, rings, territs, and other things belonging to harness of all kinds, are manufactured.—Lardner's Cy clopcedia. THE RIDEAUCANAL, UPPER CANADA.- We have received from our correspondent at Merrickville a flattering account m tie opening prospects for trade on the line of the Rideau Canal. In the neighbourhood Iron' whence he writes he states that a great number of emigrants arrived last year, purchased large quantities of land, settled on them, and have prospered. Their pros_ peas are good, and their satisfaction is unqualifiedly ex pressed at the friendly reception they have met with, and the kind feeling exercised towards them by all surround ing them. Labouring men may obtain ready and con stant employment at from seven to ten dollars per month, and be provided f r also. Land fetches from 10s. to 20s. per acre, according to situation ; and there is a market for all aufplus produce. Schools and churches are,rising in this interesting section of the country which the cana penetrates, and thrift and industry will lay fur many a poor man the foundation fin- wealth, prosperity, and happiness to his offspring. The Upper Province, that interesting portion of the British empire, is becoming the scene the most inviting of British co'oniz ition possessed by the British crown on the American continent. By her agri col ore and corntneice she is able to support a population twice her present numbers, consequently there is a pressing demand for the labourer and the artisan in one of the finest climates of the world. We regard Upper Canada with a deeply interested eye,—we have watched the pro ceedings of her legislature during the last session with in tense feeling, and congratulate her upon the rapid strides she has made in freedom and morals,—in education an , intelligence,—in wealth and influence. Her public jour nals are numerous, and many display talent of no mean order, and breathe a healthful influence upon the public mind. We have not seen the magazines published in that province, and therefore are unable to give any judgment respecting them, but the very fact of their existence speaks well for the literary taste of the population,—Montreal Herald. ( PRICE 71).) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Mir 23. Lord WILLOUGHBY DE BROKE and Lord DatEvoß took the oaths and their seats. . _ ___ _.............._ ....... ~........ . The Duke of GORDON presented a petition from the medical students of Aberdeen, against the Apothecaries Act. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from the South Devon Association of Biptists, for an alteration in the law for the registration of births and baptisms ; also a petition from Penzance and its vicinity, for the removal of the disabilities of the Jews; and a petition for the abolition of tithes from a person of the name of Webber. Lord LYNDIIURST (as we understood) made an in• quiry respecting the progress which had been made by the Common Law Commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the last report of the Commissioners had been laid upon the table, and considerable progress had been made in printing it ; so that it would be in the hands of their Lordshits in a few days. His Lordship said also that it was intended to appoint a Commission to inquire into the law of Scotland, similar to the common law commission for England. Petitions for the better observance of the Sabbath were presented by the Earl of Carberry, Lord Lyttelton, and the Bishop of Durham. Lord ST. VINCENT gave notice, that on the second day after the recess he would present a petition from the merchants, shipowners, mortgagees, and others in the city of London, connected with the West Indies, praying that in any measure which might be adopted respectir g slaves, regard might be had to the rights of private propery. The Bishop of BRISTOL presented a petition from those inhabitants cf C imbridge and its vicinity who are members of the Society for Promoting Rational Humanity towards the brute creation, praying that the House might take the subject into their most serious consideration, and devise those wise measures which should be consistent with rational humanity, by preventing all unnecessary cruelty to the brute creation. The Sewers Bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned till this day se'nnight. TURKEY AND EGYPT. • (From the Messager.) That we may not wander at random in the midst of contradictoly reports which oppose each other relative to the affairs of the East, it is necessary that we should come to a distinct understanding in re spect to the positions, views, and interests of the parties. Three Powers occupy the scene as actors ; the others fill only accessory and subordinate pasts. - - Of these three Powers, one alone proceeds in an open and independent manner, with a view to an end which has been publicly avowed : we mean Mehemet Ali. He has fixed upon the part which he has determined on under all circumstances ; he has done better; he has made himself master of - this part, and it is evident from the nature of the places, of the things, and of the peopleohat it is impassible to dispossess him of it. All might be finished with respect to him, if a simple formality of authentic admis.ion were to proclaim as a right what exists irrevocably as a fact. The delay of this acknow ledgment does not prejudice him who awaits it. He continues to accumulate new pledges in his hands, saving his right either to retain them, or to make a favour of their relinquishment as future circum stances shall one day render advisable. Another of these three Powers has appeared in the arena, with a similar intention of taking part in the affair; but unlike the Egyptian, the Autocrat dares neither to avow nor to define, nor to seize openly the objects of his desire. The obstacles to the accomplishment of his de signs arise from four quarters:-Ist, from the Sul an, who, iu accepting assis ante, had not con sented to the price which is demanded for it; 2dly, from his people, who have not been consulted, and who do not cease to see in the Russians, who are insinuating themselves as friends on the banks of the Bosphorus, the eternal enemies of the Crescent; 3,11 y, from the maritime nations• interested in the affairs of the East, s' ho still hesitate to interfere, but who do not the less signify their opposition to any new aggrandisement on the part of Russia in this part of the globe; 4thly, from Ibrahim, who, having it in his power to effect from day to day a reconci liation with the Sultan, by means of a treaty ac cording to his views, would become the day after the signature the most effective of the auxiliaries of his former master against the Muscovite. The third of the Powers engaged in this grand drama, is poor Mahmoud, the sport of events, and destined to sup port alone, whatever may be the issue, the expense of the drama. The part of this Prince does not depend on his own will. He must submit to times and circum stances. Self-love, pique, the feeling of a wounded dignity, inflame him against his vassal, and cause him to seek for the assistance of the most inveterate adversary of his house; but this position cannot be continued for a long time; it is too much in oppo sition to the prejudices of his people to prevent the antipathy which they entertain against the Russians from breaking the apparent harmony which unites them momentarily under the same tents. Fancy an army formed of so incoherent an amal gam, marching through Asia Minor, to meet Ibrahim. Can it be doubted that, once in the presence of one another, there would be a sudden reunion of the Mu,sulmen from the two shores against an abhorred race ? What would become of this Russian corps, attacked by the victorious troops of Ibrahim, be trayed by the Turks, who, a moment before, made common cause with it, and harassed by all the indi genuous population, animated by the same feelings and the same hatred ? And all tuis taking place in countries, ruined, deprived of communications, and affording no town in which they might hope to de fend themselves. When the news of it came to Constantinople, wculd it not be the signal for a ge neral movement against all the posts of the Russians? One must be vet) , little acquainted with the coun tries and the nations in the midst of which is the theatre of these events, to doubt for one moment of such an issne ; besides, it is so much the more pro bable, as the Court of St. Petersburg!) is too distaut to be able to aliment this remote straggle with troops proportionate in number to their enemies. Hence it is to be presumed that the Russians will not quit the shores of the Bosphorus : they could not do it without imminent danger. The conduct of the European Powers should be governed by these considerations; they must desire, in any case, the settlement of the political state of Mehemet Ali. Let them employ their influence in his favour ; this point gained, the question is sim plified. They have nothing more to do than to keep a strict watch on the pretensions of the Russians; if there is the least agreement between them, nothing will be more easy ter them than to bring them to terms which may allay the inquietudes which they have crea ed. France should put itself at the head of such a combination. This character would be more rational and more honourable than the unfor tunate attitude which Admiral Roussin has been forced to assume. All the accounts agree in stating that the apple trees earoughnut Somerset and Devon afford a flatter ing prospect ef an abundant crop. The price of cider in the Sauth Hams has fallen to about 354. per Ipigsbead. STATE OF OHIO.—In April, 1788, forty seven adventurers from New England settled the town of Marietta. Its November of the same season a settlement was made six miles from Cincinnati, under the auspices of JOHN CLEVES SvststEs, of New Jersey. Cincinnati was set tled the Dec. following ; the courses of the streets being blazed on the trees which composed the dense forest that then waved, where now stands the beautiful tt Queen of the West." The whole cost of the section in which Cin cinnati is laid out was torty.ninedollar-' worth of land warrants. The population in 1795 was 500 ; in 1813, 4,000; and in 1832, 31,000. Another instance where individual agency and enterprise alone has built up a city thus rapidly, cannot be found in the history of the world. It was some years after settlements were commenced on the Ohio river, before a lodgement was made in the north part of the State. But once effected, the whole State was rapidly populated. Soon were the chasms and notches cut out of the forest in every direction. The deep wil derness and flowering prairies were doted with thousands of log cabins, intermixed in many places with the bark wigwams of the Indian. There rose the stately brick edi flee, the pride and boast of some village that looked out to heaven front the midst of an embowering wood, the child of yesterday, while around it a hundred rude hamlets of the hardy pioneers of the west sent up their cheering smokes, amid a thousand dead trees that surrounded the incipient settlement. In 1790, the population of the ter ritory which now constitutes the State of Ohio, was 3,000 ; but such has been the resistless tide of emigration that the population has multiplied i self ten times the first ten years ; in the second ten years, seven times ; in the third ten years, twice and a half ; and in - the fourth ten years, nearly thrice ; m iking the population in 1830, 937,000.

At a quarter past five Captain Gronow moved that the House be counted, and there being but about twenty Members present, they adjourned until to morrow. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, IL4r 19.—A letter from Amsterdam of the 17th May says, " The heat, which for some days past has been quite extraordinary for this season of the year, seems to have been at the highest to-day at noon, the ther mometer of Fahrenheit was at 84 ; late in the afternoon, after a thunder storm of short duration, the air was in some measure cooler." Here at the Hague the thermometer was on the same day 80, hut the heat has since greatly abated. MAY 20.—Count Von Munch Bedioghausen, Austrian Minister and President of the Diet, passed through Rot terdam on the 18th, on his way to London. MAY 21.—Her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange left the H •gue to-day to go to Tilnurg• The Jupiter, of SO guns, was launcheJ on the 21st at Amsterdam, without accident.

No change has taken place in the 13 , sitions of the &et in the Scheldt. In Dutch Fl4nders perfect tranquillity prevails, and nothing interesting passes, only now and then some Belgian deserters arrive. AMSTERDAM, MAY 21.—The Austrian Observer of the 12th has accounts from Constantinople, but only to 25th April. The latest number :of the Turkish Journal contains an account of the arrival of the Russians, and of the visit paid them by the Sul an. The object of the whole article seems to be to impress on the Turkish subjects the idea that the Russian troops have entered into the service of the Sultan for his personal protection. A letter from Padang, in the island of Sumatra, dated the 15th November last year, gives an account of the operations against the Padries, who were repulsed in seve ral actions. On the 22d of October, the Dutch forces, marching to Alaban, attacked the enemy on the right wing ; they were at first repulsed, but in a second attack they succeeded, and the Padries were entirely defeated. The fighting was very severe, and continued from 7 in the morning till 2 in the afternoon. The Dutch bad 16 killed, among whom was Lieut. Van der Weyden, and 59 severely wounded, of whom several died of their wounds, and five suffered amputation.

DREADFUL THUNDER STORM. It will be seen by the following account, that the storm on Wednesday, the 15th inst., has been very severely felt in various parts of England and Scotland : BRADFORD. —On Wednesday afternoon, the town and n ighbourhood of Bradford were visited with an extra ordinary storm of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain. The flashes were awfully vivid, and the hailstones unusually large. Considerable damage, by the breakage of windows, was done by the latter. Dti RIIAM.—At Durham the storm seems to have raged with still greater violence. Flom the account we have received, the hailstones, or rather masses of solid ice, were of still larger dimensions there than here, some of them measuring from two to three inches in circumference. The wind was nearly south, and the havoc which the hail committed upon the glass is almost incredible. Hot houses and skylights were in many instances totally de stroyed, and the fruit•trees and gardens sustained great injury. D UMF RIES. —Wednesday last the sky even in the morning assumed an appearance indicative of thunder ; and as the day waxed, clouds negative and positive came into frequen , Ind angry collision, anti in place of turning the war fare front our own gates, brought it nearer every moment. to the banks of the Nith. Shortly after three the storm seemed to be passing right over the town; the Rashes were most vivid, and " iota] and long the thunder bel lowed," until every one became sensible of a tremulous sort of m o tion. Big drops of rain were followed by the largest h iii stones we ever examined, and which persons nearly twice our age declared to be unparalled within the nun, extended period of their own remembrance. The noise .vas so sudden and undefinable, that many rushed out to s d t i r s ee co t v .c er a i n t d s c e a v u e s n e , the a n d fields t w h spate h e ere ; h e n f a few minutes grass i is still s the short, () rt, were as white LS they are in the depths of winter. The .ky lights, front accumulation, and the size of the hail. yielded to the pressure, and fell from time to time with a loud crash ; hail -stones followed, and strewed every land ing place until such housemaids as hat been terrified In the thunder, recovered from their fright, and lifted their hands in astonishment. Business was suspended during tin outpourings of the wortn, and the streets deserted by al; whowas o c f o b u r ld ief fi c n o d n a ti n nu o a p n en ce d: a w n r d . e o r m t u u n m a e t t moment it bail show eve r e y r one was engaged in collecting specimens, and begging the shopkeepers to weigh them in their scales—so much so that curiosity usurped for a season the functions of utility. The footrule, too, and bits of twine were in constant requi sition ; and, we have heard on good authority, of h o e f s an i n ounce. ci c icy in pig eggs, a e n g d g s w , e i t g h h a e t d n m e a e a r l s y u r t c h d r e e fo ci u u r a r t i e n r e s Three inches round, or an inch in diameter, was quite a common measurement, and doubtless the size and weight would have been greater had the specimens been exmon, , (l the moment they fell. When broken, the hails ones showed rings or circles; sometimes to the number of three or four—the effect, we suspect, of hurried or imperfect congelation at a point very near the earth's surface. In the year 1811, a hail-storm in a more modified foam occurred in this town and neighbourhood, one day later in th e month of May. The damage done to sky lights, storm-windows, green-houses, and vineries, in town and coun try , exc ee d s i n amount w h a t p ersons at a dis tance w ill readily believe. Calculations or guesses fix the cost of renewi ng or repa i r i ng at 5001 , an d p er hap s eventhis sum is under the mark, bad as it is, as an accom paniment toanotherchol e r a assessment. The glaziers in the meantime are prodigiously busy, and might appropriately enough vote a congratulatory address to the man of the moon, or the clouds below him for the noble windfall thrown in their way. Fortunate) , there was no bre. ze on Wednesday, but bad the fact peen otherwise, Dumfries, to a very greit extent might have been ri duce(' to the situation of a glassless town. The stocks in the I ands of trades men are understood to be light, and ()triers must be given and executed before the whole damage can be repaired. One gentleman, in Castle street, lost 49 panes, another between 30 and 40, and so on ; the churches suff-red severely ; and in short within the range of the storm scarcely a single individual escaped scot. free. Different green-houses have been demoliehed almost entirely, and from 100 to 200 panes are common enough it-ms in the catalogue of loss occasioned by the largest and fiercest hail which the oldest men in the country ever s iw. Summer showers, whether of rain or hail, are generally loci!, and often cut across a district like a knife. Wed nesday's storm was felt at Lockerby, and more slightly at Lochmalten ; while at Neblehill and Brownhal, distant little more than a mile from town, nothing in the shape of hail was seen. At the New Quay it bisected the lyouses, attacking the one half and leaving the other free. A tremendous fall of rain followed the hell, and seems to have visited Edinburgh, Carlisle, and many other places. The rain fell in such torrents at Hutton Hell, that-it actually leered a sloping potatoe fell of its soil, and made a breach in a stout stone wall of 5 feet high. It then crossed the public road and burst a second wall on the opposite side, transporting huge stones to a distance which it would actually require a Hercules to lift. The soil hurried on was deposited on a rough piece of moss land on the farm of Locherbank, and when the potatoes grow, it will form a curious question is to whom the property of right belongs.—Dumfries Courier. GATESHEAD.—In Gateshead, and the neighbourhood, the injury sustained was still greater, particularly in elevated situations facing the west. At Bencham, we understand, upwards of one thousand squares of glass are broken ; in Ravensworth lerrace, 220 ; and the vineries, &c., at Ravensworth Castle, are said to have sustained damage to the amount of four or five hundred pounds. In the tiet.houses at Redheugh, 2,070 squares were demo lished ; and in the whole of the district between the Tyne and Wear the effects have been neatly similar—Tulip and other flower-beds are every where destroyed, and in some gardens the young shoots are cut Jr the trees as if it hd been done with a knife. The 1141 storm does not appear to have extended much to the north, for we are informed that even at Elswick and Jesmond it was not at all refuel k able ; and at Morpeth, Alnwick, or Hexham, it seems to have attracted no notice all. HALIFAX.—On Wednesday last, a most tremendous thunderstorm, accompanied with hal, occurred at Hal, f.x and its vicinity. At Southowram, the windows of many houses were broken, and those of the Methodist school-room nearly demolished. The hailstones were remarkably large. KEIGHLEY.—On Wednesday afternoon a tremendous thunder-storm was experienced in the parish of Keighley, and a partially surrounding district, during which h uil stones, or rather pieces of ice, were showered down in proportion, larger than any we ever remember to have seen. The damage in Keighley was very partial, but in he out-townships many houses suffered to a considerabl e extent. LEEDS.-On Wednesday last, one of the most tremens dons storms of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain, that we ever remember to have witnessed, occurred in this place, and extended itself partially to many other parts of the county. The streets, which were parched in the early part of the day, suddenly became inunda-eil, and the hail stones, many of which resemble.' pieces of ice, rolled along the streets in torrents. A number of windows wose broken by the hail. NEwcasri.E.—On Wednesday afternoon, this town and nelghbourbood were visited by one of the most awful storms of thunder, lightning, and hail, that we ever remember to have wi , nessed. The storm appeared to he gathering in the north west during the early part of the day, and shortly after five o'clock an unusual darkness set in, and ti o thunder was heard in the distance. The lightning, how ever, soon became molt vivid, and the flashes succeeded each other with an almost incredible rapidity, the thund r continuing to roll without intermission. At the corn. inencernent of the storm the air was very calm and clo-e, and the rain was gentle; but in a short time the wind rose very high, and the rain and hail came down in tor r nts, and with a fury that we do not remember to have seen equalled. The hailstones were of an unusually large s . ze, and the damage which they have done must be very great. In the dome of the Arcade abaut 70 squ►res of gl iss were broken, several panes in house and shop win dews, skylights, hothouses, &c., were also broken, and tee gardens sustained great damage. PONTEFRACT. -In the afternoon of Wednesday hat, the 16th May, between three and four o'clock, the town of Pontefract was visited by a hail-storm of extraordinary severity. It was preceded and accompanied by thunder and lightning, and continued about five minutes. The hailstones were about the Bize of walnuts, some measuring as much as four inches in circumference, and weighing half an ounce, and even three quarters of an ounce real. my were transparent, of a flat shape, with sharp edges and angles, and in fact were fragments of ice. Before they fell there was a singular noise in the air, occasioned by their friction against each other in descending. The d image done throughout the town cannot, it is thought, he less than 1501. What is singular, it appears to have broken entirely over this town, as the neighbourhood is almost completely free from its effects. Scarcely any bail fell either at Ackworth, Purston, Ferrybridge, Knottinga l e y, Glass Houghton, or Castleford. The severe storm and heavy rain which broke over Leeds about four o'clock the same afternoon, was quite uncannected with the hail storm at Pontefract, as a person who had witnessed the storm in Pontefract, afterwards saw, from Castle Syke- Hill, near Ackworth, the clouds heavily charged with rain and electric .matter, breaking in the direction of Oalton and Leeds, as nearly as he could guess. SUNDERLAND.—At this town the windows suffered severely, and a house in Hopper-street was struck by tie lialitnina, the door and frame split, and some of the turn, tore broken. Mrs. Werdropper, of Bishopwearmonth 4 vas struck down by the lightning, and but faint hopte ire entertained of her recovery. TADCASTER.—In the afternoon of Wednesday last, the thunder-storm was felt with great severity in this neigh ;eiurhood, and the hail-stones, or rather lumps of ice, vhich fell during the storm, have inflicted much damage on the recently erected and splendid hothouses at Grim cane Park. YORK —On 'Wednesday last, in the afternoon, a most twful visitation of thunder, lighining, rain, and hail, was -xperienced in a 'great portion of this and the adjoining ••ounties of Durham and Narthumberl incl. Though much lamage ;as occasioned by it, yet happily it does not ap. pear to have been destructive of hernia tile. Its effects i the neighbourhood of this city were comparatively sligh'. MUTINY AMONG THE CREW OF A LIVER POOL BRIG, AND MURDER OF THE CAPTAIN.—Capt IUi JOSEPH, of the brig IP Nam, informs us that «bile ort the coast of Africa, in December last, he learnt that an English brig, belonging to Liverpool, cared the Jane and Henry, ROBERT LATIMER till..ter, bound for the Cale of Good Hope and New South Wale., put in at Loango, ; tort on the coast. A letter from a pissenger in the said brig, dated the 12th of December, stated the vessel to have 'teen at sea 140 days ; that the crew and passengers had teen upwards of a month on an allowance of bread and rater, and bad only seven days' bread remaining ; that the captain had committed several acts of piracy . ; that nit he night of the 11th of December, the vessel slipped a li n e t r , ,table and put to sea, leaving himself, two of th.e.scare..vf.• e and .even steerage passengers on shore, he having d la . that Vie tifant with considerable property . on 1?lor-ay.Ac Loango, number of persons on board at the tu. ne t o .. f four. i ne above including passengers and crew, vas aiu tae .aptair _ i t ia,j e rn n omdfi v eN e io rb nib & eiyu t a i nbci m :oni f E r its, o lvii in gerweore: t n h t:inl e ao w : .r.t evsr o f rtf ithltt :sue. e —New de eed, ee, dor,' that Lnaugo l asl .IE I ovr eh 7. 4 ,nawa:s " n ,nd passengers , :t c h in e g r o :ce b o o t a a n,j s: t h t e he b t e i l m ie e ‘ed wh it o to " be Daily Advertister, April 1 1 . .:Lr EP S'to BOTANY. 3d edit., Cuts, 9s.
