FLANDERS AND HAMBURGH MAILS.

HAMPURGH, JULY 14 —The Board of Trade of
this city has received the following account from
Revel, .28th June :—" This morning the lightning
struck the steeple of the Lutheran Cathedra in this
city, and in a few hours that ancient Gothic edifites
was reduced to ashes. Vessels bound to Revel and
St. Petersburgh have by this event lost an excel-
lent land-mark, as the lofty steeple was visible far
out at sea. It is therefore very desirable, that this
circumstance should be made known as public as
possible."

The church of St. Catherine, in which our annals
relate that the robbing of the consecrated wafers
took place, is adorned with equal elegance and
taste. Strangers are already pouring in, and there
