In consequence of Earl TEMPLE having de-

On Saturday sa'anight. during a thunder storm, a
house near Trevoreasti. in Si. alerryn, was struck
with lightning. The anid entered at the eastern
window, and carried off the roof, door. and win-
doles, oo tbe western side. The threshold of the
door was carried a distance of twenty feet. A wo-
man who was in the house at the time, was knock-
ed down; but happily site was only slightly in-
jured.
Saturday sie'imight. dieting* itemendooa thunder
storm, the tower of Warleggan church, Cornwall,
was struck by lightning, and split nearly from top
to bottom. One lion fell upon the church, and
destroyed the roof and all the pews except sue.
The damage is estimated at 600/. Just before the
accident happened, the clerk, on aged man. had
been putting the church in order for the ensuing
day. Whilst be was in the church-yard, the tower
fell with a dreadful crash. and a stone of nearly six
hundred weight struck the ground within two.feet
of where he stood. Had he remained a few minutes
longer in the church, he must have been buried
in the ruins.
Hundreds of people continue to assemble OAT
on the cliffs of St. tolinver, near Padatna, Cornwall,
where the late wrecks took place, in order to pick
up bacon, beef, &c. Ott Sunday sc. 'O. a man

fallowing remarkable inatance of pteagrvat ion
front destruction occurred last week in the ‘4eagh-
bouthund of Carlisle, during the violent storm of
wind :—On Thursday week, Mr. Jostrit
of Newby Cross, had employed hi* uncle, Alr.;
WilAnti. of Cenunerariale, a cartwrigid, to repair•
some husbandry utensils in his WM, where MILLE&
himself, and six of his children, were all present
viewing the progress of the uncle'. labour. At
noon they were summoned to dinner; and the party
had hot all taken their seats iu the dwelling-house
(which was only a few, feet distant from the bath),
when the walls and roof of the latter tell with a
tremendous crash! A few moments later, and, in
all prolaahility„ the whole party would hose perish-
ed, or been miserably mangled. It is woods while
adding, that one entresuity of the barn formed a
byre fur a cow, which, by a singular coincidence. was
also preserved unhurt; as a piece of timber fell in
such a direction as to protect the animal from We
incumbent ruins.

On the evening of Wednesdav week, *lull and
its neighlintoihnoil were visited by a strain of wind,
accompanied with rain, at intervals nearly approach-
ing to a hurricane, not only in its violence lent in its
effects. One of the phenomena of the evening was
the tremendous murmuring of the I lumber, which
was !want to a great thotaster, stall filled the miutig
of those in the neighbourhood with indescribable
seinutiosis of awe. Many chimnies have been blotrn

on the fluniber, we are glad to say shot the ay-
