day a considerable crowd assembled shortly before one
o'clock, in front of the 71twirl* Telegraph Office, Wiet
Strand, to view the ascending and descending of the time
ball, and some to regulate their watches by the electric
clock. Those who came for the latter purpose were die.
appointed, for the clock, although it presented four well
gilt faces, or dials, and bold figures, was found without
bands to indicate its movements. At about seven minutes
to one, as indicated by the clock of St. Martin's Church,

PETITION AGAINST MR. TOWNLET.—The petition
spinet Mr. Townley's return will be certainly presented
and conducted with the greatest spirit and determination.
Messrs. Merewether and Edwin James, the well-known
parliamentary lawyers, have been retained for Mr. Somers,
while Mr. Graham, Mr. Somers's solicitor, has been for
I some time in Sligo, preparing and getting up Mr. Somers's
case. As we. natural, some of Mr. Townley's voters have
given the moat useful information, and such a cue
will be made against Mr. Townley as he little dreams of.
The bishop (Dr. Brown), Rev. Mr. Phillips, and the Mayor
of Sligo will be examined before the committee of the
House of Commons. That the three parties above named
should be ingrained, several of Mr. Somen's staunchest
forgotten have bunted upon ; and that they will on their
oath declare facts se to Mr. Townley's Sligo expenditure
'which will surprise the public, there can be little doubt.
It will be all well if the borough is not disfranchised.—

LONDON PROVISION MARKETS.
MONDAY, Sen. 0.
The arrivals last week from Ireland were 16,000 firkins
Butter, and 955 bales Bacon ; and from foreign ports
6,747 casks Butter, and 486 bales Bacon.
We have to note a decided improvement in the Irish Bat-
ter market ; the demand has been active, and sales to •
pretty considerable extent effietcd, at an advance of Iv. to
2s. per cwt. over previous rates. Dutch also advanced 4s.
to 6e. per cwt.
For Bacon the demand has been pod, the quantity ar-
riving being barely sufficient to meet the wants of the
trade ; all the prune was cleared off at fully this day week's
rates.

Two FULL Moows Ix JULY.—Perhaps many of
your reader' are aware that some months ago a paragraph
appeared in the daily papers, stating that in the present
year occurred a remarkable instance of two full MOMS in
the same month, July; and that it was found, on referring
to the " Annual Register," that the last year on which the
same occurrence took place, which, if my memory serves
me correctly, was 1765, was remarkable fur the number of
thunderstorms and extraordinary falls of rain that visited
this country as well as the continent of Europe, imply-
ing a kind of prediction that we were to expect
much the same visitations during the present year.
I need hardly say bow accurately the weather during
the last month or so has verified this conjecture.
On referring to Strype (Ann., vol. L, part i., p. 404: Oxon.
1824), it will be found that the year 1561 was famous for
the thunderstorms and heavy fads of rain which took place.
Regan: " The 30th (July), about eight or nine, was a
great thundering and lightning as any man had ever heard,
till past 10. After that great rain till midnight, insomuch
that the people thought the world was at an end, and the
day of doom was come, it was so terrible. This tempestu-
ous weather was much this summer. Thus the 21st of this
July it r.ined sore, beginning on Sunday night and lasting
till Monday night ; and the 6th and 6th of the same month
were great rains and thunderings in London. What mischief
was done by the dreadful thundering and lightning, Jose
4th, was told before ; and before this April 20th were great
thunder, lightning, rain, and hailstones, for bigness the like
whereof had scarce ever been seen." The storm on the
4th Jane, alluded to above, is recorded by Strype to have
injured" the steeple of St. Martin's Church by Ludgate •"
and " The same day, about four or five of the clock at after-
noon, the lightning took St. Paul's Church and set the
steeple on fire, and never left till the steeple and bells and
top of the church were all consumed unto the arches
and in divers other places of England great hurt was done
with lightning." Can any of your readers inform me whe-
ther there were two full moons in one month daring the
year 1661 d lam a complete sceptic in the matter of the
moos 's influence on the weather, but still curious about this
matter.—" Notes and (Merles."

FUNERAL 01P THE DUKE OF HAMILTON. The
funeral of the deceased duke took place on Saturday last.
The body sou transmitted from London to Hamilton
Palace, Stotland, on Thursday ; on Friday it lay in state
in the grand entrance-ball of the palace, and upwards of
3 000 persons were allowed to inspect the coffin ; on
Saturday the interment took place in the new mausoleum,
in Hamilton grounds, about 300 yards to the south-west of
the palace, a large concourse of the nobility and gentry
of the neighbourhood being present. The English epis-
copal service was read by Bishop Trower, of Oalloway.
MR. MuNre, M.P.—We have much plcaauro to
announce that our hon. member, although still confined to
his room, is in a fair way of recovery. On Tuesday it was
deemed advisable to call in the aid of a physician, as well as
the family surgeon, but nevertheless we are assured that •
few days' patience and strict compliance with the medical
gentlemen's decree will have the effect of restoring the hoe.
gentleman to convalescence. We understand that for the
first fifty years of his life Mr. Munts never knew whet it
was to be troutied with even a tingle day's sicktt.ss.—Bir
