and help him to examine what it was. Mr. Gibbs
accordingly came down stairs with a light, and'
they then found that it was the body of a ynnagi
woman, in the agonies of death. Vhen Mr. Gihb
came down stairs, joss as he had opened the tioi VS

examining the body, they fou 4 she had received se.'

infl•aed with the nob of a large stick. There
were also some marks of yietenee about her throat,'
as if she had received sonse kicks there. She'
bled only from the nose f none of the wounds were
inflt(ted with a sharp instrument. The Watchman'
carried her to the Branch of Grapes Public-house, •
in Creat Soffulk•street, opposite which she re,- -
mailed until five o'clock, and was then taken tie
the Workhouse. The deceased appeared to be *
very handsome young woman, about 18 years of egg. '
she was dressed in a white muslin gown with lens
sleeves, and yellow gloves: Her bonne., was straw,
trimmed with pale pink ribbond, and her -.shoes were

body was not at the gate. After this hour Mr.
Gibbs did not sleep, and he heard no otter noise

she was aflually murdered. there, which must have
created a disturbance of some kind. Drops of

along .the road near •where the body was found

The fatal 'trees of the late storm on Tuesday'
evening has bean severely felt in the West of Eng-
land, and, particularly in the Vale of Berk-hires
The lightning set fire to a wheat rick in the yard of
Chise, an epirlent farmer at 13.:rgl,field, Berke.
and the same was destioyed, with marl others.
After the fla nes het spread dev.istati•ar in the title •
yard, a barn took firs, and the whole of a spacinp ,
farm-yard was in one Mate. A report prevailed at ;
this tics-, that the lightning had set fire to other
premises 'not far distant, and the country was
thrown into the utmost consternation. The whole
of the premises belonging to Mr. Chase fell s prey
to did devouring elemen.. the dwelling house ex*
cepted ; but the cattle were fortunately preserved..
and placed in safety, before the flames had COMe
munscated to the farmyard. The premises, we
understand, were insured, but not to the extent of
the d •mage sustained. A waggoner driving a
team of horses near to the above place, was struck
dead, as was also one of the horses. The lightning -
also communicated to a rick of wheat near Eat-
dock, liertb, and Ise loads wheat were: con-
mimed.

An immense boar was discovered on Friday last
in a 'ewer under Swallow-street. It chewed signs
of a most ferocious disposition ; the men whe found
it, however, procured some ropes and poles. by
which means, on again coming in sight of the fierce
animal, they were eriabled to defend themselves;
and a cord being put wish great dexterity round his
•
head, it was, without much resistance, drawn out ;
on being brought to the light. it exhibled a most
extraordinary appearance ; the slOn was tol a bright
yellow, soft. and pappy. en•irely devoid of bristles,
on I of a wonder Cul thickne.s, the tusks of vast length.
and the whole of the body proved to be of a great
age. This animal most have fallen into the sewer

carried down the drains would supply it with food
but it is extraordinary th.it it of *old, for so !once

of a common drain, and still have art-lied at full
