DUBLIN, JULY it
Early yesterday evening several claps of thunder,
apparently not very distant, were experienced in
this city. The usual concomitant, rain, followed ;
but net, we apprehend, in such quantity as suffi•
ciently to answer the demand of the earth, become
parched by a long absence of any considerable de-
gree of moisture.
