LATE STORM.

On Tuesday afternoon last, between three and four o'clock, a
most terallic storm of hail and rain commenced at Uxbridge, at-
tended with much thunder and lightning. some of the hail-stones
measured nearly three inches in circumference; a number of sky.
lights were broken, and considerable damage was done to the green.
house and hot-house glasses in the neighbourhood. It is nearly
39 years since such a visitation was experienced, at which time the
hail-stones, or pieces of ice, measured from three to four inches and
a half in circumference._ . . . .

A very severe storm of thunder and hail was experienced at Ware
on Wednesday last. About two o'clock P.U. it cattle so rapidly,
that in a few minutes the water ran down the streets like a river,
flooding a great many cellars and houses. At Amwell End, the
bail destroyed nearly all the glass in the green-house of A. C.
Bond. Esq., and many others have suffered from its effects. Alter
the storm was over, there was an accumulation of hail-stones four
inches deep, several of which, upon hung measured, were found to
be au Inch in circumference. During the storm, the hail had a
novel and most beautiful effect upon the water, for it came with
such violence that the water was raised above a foot front the sur-
face, giving it the appearance of a river of fount.ins.
The storm was heavy at Uppingham ; the electric fluid drove
down part of a gable at the top of the town, and destroyed several
sheep and beasts at 6 ret ton woods. At Oakhani, we hear awo
man was killed in the street. At Duddinkton, the church was
struck and the windows broken, and a pony and six pigs were
killed. At Keisby, near Palkingnam, a valuable horse belonging
to Mr. Houghton was also killed by the lightning. At Peak-hill,
near Spalding, some farming buildings and stacks, the property of
Mr. Morton, were consorted by the same cause.
Lieutenant-Colonel Ilall, of the Albant Riding Academy, op-
posite Portland-place. Regent's Park, had 3/1 panes of glass broken
on Wednesday, in his sky-lights and other windows belonging to
the premises, and the horses in the stable were terrified beyond de-
scription.
At Hatfield Broad Oak, and in that direction, the corn has again
been damaged; at Fytielt!, the windows of several houses have
been demolished, and the corn injured; at Beeners Hall, in Bar-
nigh Roothlng, occupied by Mr. llockley, a very line Yoskshire
cow, grazing in company with 19 others, was struck dead by the
lightning, the electric matter having injured the face and one
passed along the bag, and down the leg on theopposite side.
The sulphureotts smell from the cow was very great, even three
hours after the circumstance.

At Bagshot, !fartley-row, Blackwater, and places adjacent, the
storm was felt in all its fury. Hail of immense size, vivid flashes
of lightning, and awfully loud peals of thunder, were incessant.
Great damage was doue to the fruit-trees and the glass of the hot-
houses in the neighbourhood.
