DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORM IN THE WEST IA
RIDING. l!'•

One of the most extraordinary and destructive ii
hailstorms which have occurred for many years, visited
Leeds and other places in the West Riding yesterday, pro- in
ducing indwable damage to property, although hap- N.
pity, so far as we have yet heard, no personal injury has St.
been sustained. The weather for the last few days has la
been extremely variable, but in the early part of yes-
terday it was a beautiful genial spnog day. About seven N.
o'clock, however, • somewhat singular phenomenon was ea.
observed. Thus horizon became suddenly obscured with • ft
dense mar of cloud, which wee evidently being driven in U
• direction contrary to that in which the ordinary clouds s
were posing, and fora little time the darkness wee as
deep as that of midnight. Simultaneously, an extraordi-
nary shower of hail fell, accompanied with vivid flashes of
lightning, which, reflected in the gloom, produced • ek
and beautiful effect. The hailstone& were something itt.
marvellousin size. Several were collected in St. Peter's- St
square by Mr.etkonual Etches, painter, and although they LisQ,
bad been somewhat reduced during their transit, when et.
brought to the Aferceiry office they were nearly two inches gt
in circumference. But even these were small compered
with those which fell at Braley, Morley, and elsewhere, glu
ons of which actually exceeded five inches in circumference,
and four ounces in weight. The storm, however, rapidly re
passed over the town, sod was succeeded by rain, which la
continued, at intervals, during the evening. A large is
number of panes of glass have been broken, but beyond this g
we have been unable to ascertain that any serious damage N
•

was produced in Leeds.
At Smiley the storm was equally, if not more desire*. to
tive. About ASV'S o'clock thick clouds of darkness gathered, go
and immediately hailstones of enormous magnitude fell ia ss
every direction, the storm being accompanied by lightning 20
and thunder. Several of the hailstones were measured and 10
weighed, and some actually exceeded five inches in circum- 20
ference, and four ounces in weight. One young man was
struck to the ground by one alighting on his head. Sky- gg
lights, garden frames, and hothouses are completely riddled. 10
The lamplighter states that scarcely a lamp has escaped IS
being broken. The Wesleyan and Baptist chapels present
• most singular appearsooe •' ou the west aide of each up- 12
wards ano panes of glees are broken. From inquiries 4"
made it Is certain that at least 3000, mum of glass are 10
broken in the Town-street alone, and aome houses have 50 as
or 60 gamed glass broken. 1111
Our Morley correspondent writes that a little after six *
o'clock the sky at that village became quiet black, and so 10
continued for nearly an hour, when hailstones of immense 10
sise, some two inches in circumference, came down in large
quantities. After the storm had subsided, it was found g
that many thousands of panes of glass had been broken, a
scarcely a house eamping, while in many of them the whole OS
of the glass in the windows was destroyed and carried away. 10
A bone was killed"by the lightning near the church. In one ro
house, in a window containing forty panes of glass, thirty- SD
two are completely gone ; and this is a sample of the so
mischief throughout the town. se
HODDIRSIIILD. —A violent storm of hall, rain, thunder,
and lightning occurred at Huddersfield last night. The sky 10
10
darkened about half-past six, and presently there descended
a heavy fall of huge hail stones, followed by vivid flashes of
lightning and loud peals of thunder, at short intervals, 211. I
accompanied with torrents of rain. The storm abated
about nine last night, but the rain dill fell copiously. ft
There has been DO serious injury done, so far as at present 164
ascertained. U 0
IN
Dewseunr.—Lest evening Dewsbury was visited with a
hail storm of greet violets*, accompanied by vivid flashes of
lightning and loud peels of thunder. The hailstones were gig
remarkable for then size, some of them being connected Mb
together and forming masses as large as walnuts, and the ♦ I
storm lasted nearly an hour, during which interval great
darkness prevailed.
In the afternoon the storm passed over the district of Mpg
Craven. The rain, intermingled with large hailstones, fell St.
in torrents, and the lightning was very vivid.—Leeds 100

"There were heavy thunderstorms" says the Maneltes- I,„°
ter Guardian, "in the Bradford district, more particularly .
is a north-easterly direction, vesterday. The river Aim pp
was swollen yesterday to a great height. Early in the et.
morning, two men in the service of Mr. E. Dibb, of Idle, fe
were attempting to cross the stream with &waggon and three 20
horses at the Buck Mill Ford, near Idle, when one of the °S
men was drowned, and carried down the stream. The other M
man, as well as the horses, were with great difficulty ix
rescued. Our Todmorden correspondent reports a heavy 100
storm in that neighbourhood last night The water rose to IN
a great height, overflowing the Make, and musing consider. In
able damage."
The Nottingham Daily Guardian says that the storm alt
raged with unprecedented violence in Nottingham and its n
vicinity. The degree of light at this period was not greater is.
than re usual after sunset. The wind now blew vio- 10
lently from the south-west, precipitating torrents of rain.
The streets were soon deluged, and pedsat - who hap- 10
pened to be out of doors were driven to the nearest shelter. C
The electric fluid flashed incessantly, lighting up the dark-
ness with a lurid light terribly beautiful to some, is;
but appalling to persons not possessed of very firm; SO
nerves. Immerser hailstones fell ; some fully as
large as marbles, others jagged in outline, seeming. as 11..
though they had been detached from large sheets of ice. 4"
While the storm was at its height the workmen at the
sewer in Wheeler (40 had a narrow escape with their
lives from the bursting in of an immense volume of water ; iro
and the safety of the houses at both aides of the street 10.1
was greatly endangered.

PROPOSED RESTORATION OP THE BATH THEATRE
—Last (Wednesday) evening • public meeting, presided
over by the mayor, 'l'. Fuller, Esq., was held at the Guild-
hall, for the purpose of taking steps towards the rebuilding
of the theatre, recently destroyed by fire. The meeting it
was of a most enthusiastic character and highly successful. 40.
Upwards of • thousand attended, and it was resolved to fy
rebuild the theatre on the present site by means of a 110,
limited liability company, the amount to be raised being
12,0001., in shares of 51. each. Mr. Chute, who attended, IS
received quite an wrath:ie.—Bald Chronicle. 26:
STRANOE CIRCUMSTANUE.-011 Thursday last a 10.
• mac was found hanging dead in a shed in the Bloehairn Mi
ironworks, and the same day a woman claimed the body as 141
that of her husband, stating
_Mat his name was Archibald MI
Murphy, and that he ro“ed with her in Oswald-street, eb.:
Bridgeteshand that from a family brawl she supposed hew
committed suicide. On Monday it transpired that the man ge,,
Murphy is alive and well, and at present undergoing thirty Dsi
days imprisonment in the North Prison, so that the woman Mt
must have been mistaken as to the identity of the deceased. 141
She was much excited at the time she shamed the body, a;
which may account for the mistake.—North British Mad, L,
Tun MURDER IN TIPTERARY.—DUBLIN, WED-
NESDAY. —A man named Kennedy has been arrested on
suspicion of having murdered the farmer Maguire yester-
day, lo the hones of the accused was found • bloody knife,
by which, it is supposed, the stabs were inflicted. The de-
named appear, also to have received a gun shot wound in the
neek.
