',PA dreadful thmider storm fell over the Metropolis on Wed-
nesday evening. Two gentlemen on horseback, in the neigh-
bourhood of Hampstead, were killed by the lightning. One of
_the horses was struck on the hip. The bodies of the unfortu-
nate persons were conveyed to the Cock and Hoop, West End,
rpstead, where a Coroner's inquest will be held this day.—
tatatml damage has been sustained in various parts of the country
• Nom the heavy thunder and lightning with n the last fortnight.
A. barn, the property of Mr. Richard Eaton, of Great Yeldham,
Essex, was on Tuesday morning set on fire by lightning, and
burnt to the ground, with some corn th6rein.
SitOCVING ACClDENT.—Wednesday morning, about half
paw two o'clock, as the watchmen belonging to the parish of St.
, Oilea's in the Fields, were going then rounds, in the vicinity of
the Seven Dials, they were suddenly alarmed at a tremendous
noise, and in slew minutes discovered that the house belonging
„to Mr. Ftastings the sign of King Henry the Eighth, corner of
White Lion and Great St. Andrews-streets, Seven Dials, was
galling down. The screams and cries of the inhabitants were
dreadful, as most of them were buried under the ruins. The
watchmen gave the alarm, and in a short time about SCO persons
sur. ounded the spot, many of whom set about digging the unfor-
• tunate persons from their perilous situation An old man with an
3 infant in his arms, dead, was the first shocking spectacle that
. presented itself. The infant had been brought to the house
only a few days before to he weaned. The bodies were imnie-
- diately conveyed to a• public-house near the spot. The most
horrid groans were heard in the ruins, but in consequence of
. some timber stopping up the way, the bodies could not be got
.otit for sonic time alter. A young man un:brtunately received
a spade on his skull, and it is braced he will not survive ; he,
• along with tour others, in a dreadful mangled state, were taken
to the hospital, some of them with nns and legs broken. An
qld woman, named Toogood, who lodged in the second floor,
~heing apprised of her danger, threw herself out of the window,
by which she was so much hurt as to be taken to the hospital
without hopes of recovery. Mr. aid Mrs. hustings, who kept
the house, escaped with some slight bruises, as tin- front of the
. house fell first, and their bed-room being backwards, they had
just time enough to get away. '1 he workmen were cmp.lord
the whole of yesterdey in digging the ruins, as it was not ascer-
tained how many pet eons were missing.
CORoNERAINQUES r.—Friday an Inqust was held on the
bodies of the uniorturatv man and child dug nut of the ruins at
the late accident la Great St. Andrew's-street, Seven Dials.
The Jury met at the sign of .the Yorkshire (rey, in White
Lign-street. The Verdict was Accidental Death. The de-
ceased man was an industrious rist.Lhanic, and the infant had
been taken to nurse. Its pare ni•s re,ide Walworth, where
the hook was yesterday conveyed.
ATTEMPT To POISON.—On Wednesday morning the Sth
inst. the man-servant of Air. Wilt:ani &Jailers, of Falwalton, itt
t Nottinghamshire, took his master's cattle to water, as usual,
at the trough of an old pump, which is at some distance from
the house ; upon which occasion he, as he frequently did,
washed his mouth with the water, when to his I;reat surprise
be found that the water took all the skin fron oil. the inside of
his mouth : instantly he went to house of his master, who
had just had his breakfast,, and toll him of the circumstance,
at the same time dechcring it to he hii opinion that the water
had been poisoned. Provieentially, the maid-servant, contrary
to her master's pill:. rs, had that morning filed the kettle from
the new pump, whic:i is much nearer the house than the other,
or, no doubt, the contequences would have been fatal. Some
of the water has since been .sualysed, and proved to be poisoned
by a solution of arsenic. Mr. Sanders has offered a reward of
100 guineas for such information as will lead to the discovery
and convict:on of the person who poisoned the water.
