THUNDER STORM IN SUSSEX.

BRIGHTON., MAT $O.

A violent storm of thunder and lightniiig, accom-
panist with heavy rains end had, visited the western pert of
Busses on Thunday, intending to Brighton, Lewes, sari
neighbourhood. From what we can lento, Litenharnoton,
Wi rthiag, and Elhoieham appear to have felt its sHeeta
the most severely. In the vicinity of the former pllO.l. a
bullock was killed by the lightning, and the electric fluid
also Musk the wires of the telegraph between the Ford and
Littlishanipton stations, doing • iesiderable damage, and
pawed into the letter station, e replete', date, yed the tele-
graphic instrument. Fortunately no perms was touching
it at the time' or the coneequenoes might bays bean serious.
The rain fell in torrents; and et Worthing the to en was
almost deluged, but we believe no particular damage re.
salted, though the thunler and lightning was terrific. At
Shoreham the storm roped most furiously, and we* nearly
being attended with a fetal result. Five or sin of Mr. Bal
ley's workmen were engaged on the meat of a ship, which
was in the course of erect on in the yard, when they were
ell struck by the lightning, and were ell more or lees in
Jared, one most seriously. At Brighton and Lewes the
storm was sensibly felt, although nut to so great an extent.
The rain, howevr, fell in such torrents between Lewes
and Keymer, that a portion of the railway on that line was
completely inundated, and the trains had to pass through
water for some distance.

Another correepondeat writes The storm lame on a
little before noon, sod extended from near Hastings to
Portsmouth, and about 10 miles Wend. The peals of
thunder were tremendous, end the lightning exueoingly
vivid ; while the rain poured down in coutiouess strums,
everflowin the rivers, sod c :Tering the lowlands with
water. At Chilli the /tattooers house, which is built on
the low ground, near a strum of water, was completely
earn unded by the Mod, which entered the bowie, and
filled the nose on the pound dour to a ►eight of Pew rel
feet, the inm+t• a being obliged to betake themselves to the
upper to,ma Ur shelter. At liestlideld a form *avant,
named Piper, was struck by lightning while sitting near
a window eating his dinner, sod was killed elation staa-
tansotiely. His master wu sitting in the room, sod at the
sem moment experienced &severe shock, but escaped from
persons' Injury. Tbs storm came on so suddenly, tbst it is
feared the demure done to the cattle will be very great,
sad the growiag crops are much injured in mazy placer.

A RUSSIAN BOAST.

The last accounts from the Caucasus state that at
the commencement of this month General Monra-

Vieffwuatl3taVropol.At a grand dinner given
him on the 30th ult., the governor of the city, Gene-
ral Volotski, delivered a speech of a curious charac-
ter, and which is made worthy of twice by the fact
that it is published by the /noalitle Rune. Perhaps
the following is the moot salient passage :
The conquest of Kars compelled Europe to reflect. The
cabinets understood that with such troops—with a will to
firm and resolute—the Rumian general, disposing as Ano-
ints muter of all the resources of Asia Emu, could in one
single campaign conquer the rest of the country, and in the
followiog summer show himself under the wall' of Constan-
tinople. The taking of Hors weighed with the heaviness of
lead in the balance of the Paris Conferences, and tbe ba-
lance inclined to peace. Hurrah for the Lieutenant of the
Caucasus !

r Inquire by a emandsolos,epeoially appointed, into the
allegations of any petition from a Bishop praying bum
to retire, or isle the presentnwnts by competent autho-
rity oftheinsbelityof any Bishop to discharge efficiently
his duties, whether because of old age, protracted ill-
ness, bodily or 'mental infirmity, and, on incapacity
being reported, to treat the see as to all intents and pur-
poses void." "I believe," says the Dean, " that thus
only can the just demands and interests of the Crown
and Church be duly, honestly, and effectively mot." In
this belief we entirely concur ; and we observe with
much pleasure that four Prelates so respectable as
the Bishops 01 DURHAM, GLOUCESTER, LICHFIELD,
and RIPON. have, in their evidence before the Cathe-
dral Commissioners, given an unqualified adhesion to
a principle, the practical and speedy adoption of
which we cannot help regarding as absolutely
indispensable to the interests, the efficiency, and the
dignity of the English Cnnrch.

" Thu CHILD IS Fen= or Tin MAN."—This
dieguM of Wordsworth wu never more aptly illus-
trated than by the following anecdote of 'Henry
Brougham, the 'shoal-bey, which we find in a deli-
cious volume of the reminiscences of the late Lord

Cuckburn, jolt published by Adam and Charles
Black, with the title " Memorials of his Time, by
Henry Cockburn." "Brougham made his;first explo-
sion while in Fraser's class (at the High School of
Edinburgh). He dared to differ from Fraser, a hot
but good-natured old fellow, on some small bit of
Latinity. The muter, like other men in power,
maintained his own infallibility, punished the rebel,
and flattered himself that the affair was over. But
Brougham reappeared next day, loaded with books,
I returned to the charge before the whole close, and
compelled honest Luke to confess that he had been
wroog. This made Brougham famous throughout the
whole school I remember, as well uif it had been
yesterday, having had him pointed out to me as ' the
fellow who bad beat the wester.' It waa then that
I ant saw him."

to-day the only bosinem recorded is in St. John Del

likewise dull.

Subjoined is a list of yesterday's transactions in the
Mining Exchange and Stook Exchange :

In the metal market the copper smelters are still
fairly employed in the execution of orders on their
books ; and it is expected that with the comparative
cheapness of money manufacturers will be indorsed
to perches more freely, and thus aid in preventing
a redaction in price, which can only prove ultimately
injurious to themselves. The week has been more or
less one of holidays, and transactions have been gene-
rally limited in metals. Scotch pig iron is now quoted
at 795. for mixed numbers, while other deseriptiona
remain steady. Lead and speller are quiet. 'lln is

BRIGANDAGE IN GREECE.

In the Greek Chamber of Deputies oa the sth of
May there was • very interesting discussion on the
convention between the kingdom of Ore ce and the
Porte for the supprersion of brigand,. If we may
rely upon the statement made by the Greek Minister
for Foreign Affairs, the energy of the government,
the zeal of its officials, and the courage of its troops,
have actually reduced the evil of brigandage so fa as
they have authority to'act within the Greek territory
itself, and would have abolished it altogether but for
the obstacles which a different sovereignty places in
the way of their pursuit of the brigands across the
frontier. This difficulty, which the Minister isoeti-
early compared to that wnich the Greek hero in the
fable experienced when he found the monster with
whom he was wrestling renewing hie per-
nicious strength every time he approached
his native soil, is to be removed by the
convention lately agreed to with Turkey. The
engagements are reciprocal, and for this common
object. The soldiers of either state may advance
beyond the frontier, in pursuit of persons, whether
foreigners or natives, who have committed crime in
the state to which the soldiers belong; but they are
prohibited frnm entering any inhabited place, and
they most not oome near the poets occupied by the
military of the state into which they have penetrated.
With these restrictions, no definite limit, u to dis-
tance from the frontier, is assigned for their right to
traverse the territories of the state neighbouring
their own. Each of the contracting parties engages
to expel, not only criminals, but deserters from the
army of its neighbour, though it does not engage to
deliver them up to their own sovereign. Greeks
may be tried and punished, when appre-
hended in Greece, for crimes committed by
them in Turkey ; but this, as explained by the
minister, is no innovation, the principle having been
recognised in the former commercial treaty. One or
two of the deputies expressed their apprehen-
sions of confusion and cor filet ari.iog from
the mixture of Greek and Turkish troopectend
Greek and Turkish thieves on the border, and pa-
triotically disapproved the article relative to the
expulsion, which they regarded as equivalent to the
extradition of deserters; but the prevailing sentiment
of the Chamber was that of congratulating the
government upon having adopted a measure so de-
cidedly in the interests of civilisation and good order,
and having thereby given practical effect, at this
early period, to the declaration of the great powers
in the treaty of peace, by which the Ottoman empire
is,recognised as a member of the European family of
nations. The projet de loi, to incorporate the treaty,
was pawed by 88 votes against 2.

so sods of Mesqsito, it hes always sines ta►ea axes'
latorest in. Now, if this is the oily object England
hes, that object seems es reasonable and proper that
there ought not to be five Wastes' eostroverey &hoot
it. The Protectorate of Beelead could be sadly
satisfied by assigning to thiq tribe a distrist mailleient
for their comfortable iseWspgrace, and belts some
security that it shall not be" improved off** fan of
the earth • by Nicaragua or the Niters/mans.
As to the Greytown difficulty, the English pro.
position to convert t►at place into a free port, and
to plea its neutrality ander the guarantee of the
two Powers, or, it possible, of all the :mari-
time States, appears to be its natural sad
proper solution. Whatever may be the pre-
tensions of Nicaragua to Greytown, this is
attain, that the Government of that State
hes no power over or in it, that the British
Government is pledged net to permit it to fall into
, its hands, and that the population of Orrytown would
ant willingly become isbjeste of Nies:ages. To dis-
miss the gaselier: whether it doctor does not belong
of right to Nicaragua is therefore only esuplioating
a sabjeet already lar too oomplkated ; and certainly
one of the worst services that either Ragland or the
United States could do for Nicaragua would be
to hand over Greytown to it ; for, in the first plum,
the authorities of Nicaragua could not hold
it sgainst its own population, sad in the
second place, if they could, they would re.exeite the
hostility of Coats Rios, which demise the title of
Nicaragua to Greytown, and would not willingly ses
the Atlantic terminus of this route to the Pacific in
the hands of a State in which it has no confidence.

While, than, England might, we think, very use-
fully contribute its pretensions in the Bay Islands
and Mosquito to a complete and satisfactory gelation
of the Central Atierican dispute', the United
&atm Government ought, in a similar spirit,
cordially to 00-operate with the British Government
in roiling into existence and placing under a talkative
guarantee a free town at Ban Juan. Both an ar-
ranpment made, then indeed the CIATION-BULWER
Convention would become what it was intended to
be, a very noble piece of self-denial and moderation
es the part of two great and powerful Mates, Instead
of remaining what it now ie„ a worthless bona of
contention to arouse national passionate' topics which
the public in neither country have any proper coin-
prehension about, or an be brought to take any in-
terest in.

extensive preparations of the allies for the next cam-

committee in Pali., which assumed the designatiou,

of 1848 interrupted the opentions of the committee. In

sion a g I congrest might be bold of all who, in dolfirent

' that teems the doors of a theatre at half past az is
hardly the way to All its stalls and boxes with those
who at that hour have hardly, as a general rale, hope
to think about dining. Again, we would meekly
submit that the anrchair of a slab Amide or the
ottoman of a drawing-room is bat ill exchanged,
in point of ease and comfort, for the ordi-
nary pit stall or dress circle box of our leer
improved theatres. The theory of ventilation is no•
where, perhaps, carried out in very absolute perfection ;
bat without being fastidious or finical, the frequenter
of a theatre may sorely stipulate for something better
than an alternation of the fierce and stifling fever.
beat of imprisoned gas, with the freezing blasts of
the irruptive east. It may be very difficult in soy
place of crowded assemblage to preserve an atmo-
sphere which all may breathe with comfort, but there
can surely be no necessity for submitting tome which
allows the strongest no medium between influenza
and a headache.

We gladly acknowledge that in certain instances,
which it is only just to particularise, considerable
steps have already bees made towards an improve-
ment in both these respects. Mr. WIGAN, at the
Olympic, has set a laudable example in commencing
at half•put seven instead of the earlier hoar else-
where persisted io, and at the Princess's the expe-
dient, we believe, is very generally adopted, of
commencing the evening's entertainments with a
short piece, the termination of which about coincides
with the arrival of the later company. In both these
houses, too, the stalls are eminently praiseworthy,
and the general accommodation civilised. The annoy-
ance of the play-bill venders must be noted as being
still only partially suppressed, and all the efforts of
the administrative reformers of the green-room have
as yet failed entirely to put an sad to the
custom of paying so much as the nominal pries
of your place, and a shilling more to some ideal in-
dividual, who, by a fiction of the stage, is supposed to
keep it for you. It is, however, something to find that
these annoyances, once universal, are now only partial;
they ought not any longer to exist anywhere. If
they have been put down at one house, they might be
put down in all; and if the managers knew, and
would act upon the knowledge of, their true interests,
they would long since have been numbered with
veils to gentlemen's servants, as an obsolete abuse of
the past, instead of having to be reckoned, with fees
to vergers of St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, as
an incorrigible malpractice of the present.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

We road in the Independasees Belga :—" Although
the commission cboeen from the general assembly of
plenipotentiaries united in Congress at Paris, labours
with ardour, and spares neither time no: pains in
the completion *fits laborious tack, it has been found
impossible to complete by to-day (Saturday) the re-
daction of the treaty of pesos. The examination and
approval of thin act will require a few more sittings,
and thus the signing of pesos will be forced
into the ensuing week, the expiration of which
very nearly coincides with the expiration of
the armistice." Piedmont, it appears, is represented
in the commission, and by W. de %Umatilla.

. -
Le Nord of yesterday states, on the other band,
that the commission has actually terminated its la-
bour', and that pesos was to be migned yesterday or
today (Monday).
The following mot is attributed to Lord Claren-
don :—"lt is not the peace, bat a peace."
The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edi-
tion) asserts his fears that we are at this moment
more distant from a pacific solution than we were
ten days ago. The change, he says, "I believe to be
owing to the demand put forth yesterday by the
Prussian plenipotentiaries to be admitted to sign
the treaty of peace on the same footing and in the
some character as if Prussia had been a party to the
alliance throughout, as if she had accepted all the
obligations involved in it, had joined in the ultima-
tum; and had declared that she would abide by all
its consequences. Such, it seems, are the pretensions
of Prussia at this moment, and I believe that in
these pretension' she has the support of Russia, if
not of others."
