CILITH4M, JULY 14.

In the storm of thunder and lightning on Sunday
night, the house of Mr. Dadd, of kt,inturn, was
struck by a flash, which did considerable damage ;
it shivered the door posts of the chamber in which
Mr. Dodd was -leeping, and scorched the win.
dow frames, the dairy windows were sbat.ereJ, and
the plastering. both of the inner and out 1. parts of
the house. was in many places peeled tom the lath.,
and scattered about; nearly at the same time the
premises of J. Peake, Esq at Upchurch, were da-
maged. The thunder was uncommonly loud and
awful, and the lightning extremely vivid ; the
horses of the mail coach, which stopped at R tin-
ham about twelve o'clock, were with difficulty kept,
quiet, while the passengers alighted to take some
refreshment. The lightning began about nine o'clock
on Sunday evening, in nearly a Southern diretlion,
and went off to the East, in which quarter it ap-
peared to terminate on Monday morning.

A most curious key has since been found near the
spot. They are deposited with Mr. J. GOOO-•

curious antiquarian.
It is understood the Dire/tors of the Institution
to secure health in hot and unwholesome climates,
aCtuated by motives of humanity, have recently
taken a house near the West-India Docks, to be im-
mediately opened for the benefit and accommoda-
tion of Mariners, and others, as a Warehouse for
the Sale o: the Yellow !'ever Remedy, which is so
strongly recommended and patronised by regular
and eminent Physicians. The basicess of
House will be c.nduded upon the same liberal pl.,u
as at the Warehouse: Appointed for the sale of t: .s
invaluable Remedy, at Charing-cross, and in Castle-
street, Liverpo4ll.
