The Gazette Office was struck in several places
at different intervals. Many of the printing ma-
terials being formed of iron, the causes of attrac-
tion were no doubt the stronger, and the effects
were truly awful. In the two lower rooms were
eleven persons, six of whom were children, end
all were affected in a greater or less degree, but
atone seriously injured. By the first shock, a
young man, en assistant, felt a violent concussion
oa the head, which bowed him to the ground, but
which he at the moment attributed to the fall of
some weighty substances over head. He immedi-
ately left the place on which he stood, however,
and in retreating into so adjoining, room was oppo-
sed in his passage by a crash occasioned by the burst-
ing in of a back door, the whole wood end brick
work connected with which was rent to atoms, some
of the shattered materials being driven inwards,
and others outwards, to the distance of thirty feet
from the door. The Publisher happening at the
time to be revisiug a proof impressiou of this Paper,
was thrown backwards with his seat, uncon-
scious to what cause to attribute the disaster, so
instantaneously impaired was his recollection. On
rising, he found himself enveloped in smoke as he
then imagined. but more probably in the dust of
lime and snorter Mattered from the brick-work.
Those who were less affected than himself &elate
that the electric matter hail the appearauce or s
ball. which relionnded to and fro with a velocity
peculiar to itself. On subsequent examination it
appears to have entered the house at different parts,
the inner brick-work of the chimnies being in many
places !lectured. one of the rafters of the roof Hod
a board in the upper floor splintered, and the brick-
work of many parts both within mud without the
house visil.ly Impaired by the same awful mid ter•
cause.—(Sydney Gazette.)
