BOULOGNE SUR MER-TUESDAY.

These last two days have been with us two days of disasters.
Last week a man arrived at Amblcteuse in a boat which he had
stolen from Broadstairs. Having no passport, and there being
something suspicious in his behaviour, he was brought to Bou-
logne under surveillance of the police, and is now safely lodged
in prison : unfortunately, his robbery has occasioned the loss
of two lives. Orders were issued for the stolen boat to be
brought to Boulogne l two men, to Whom the Command was
given, started from Ambleteuse on Sunday morning, it is sup-
posed they knew but little how to manage a sailing-boat, for
shortly after they had hoisted the sails the boat upset, andboth
perished.
On Monday morning the Phoenix coach, that leaves this
town for Paris every morning at nine o'clock, passing through
Amiens, started with fourteen passengers. About 12 o'clock
the rumour ran, that in racing with another coach, it had
been upset, two passengers killed, three with broken legs, and
all the passengers more or less seriously wounded. The Director
of the office, Mr. Hopkins, an Englishman, with true English
feeling immediately ordered a fresh diligence, with post horses, to
be prepared; a long caravan for the convenient transport of the
injured, and the hospital litter packed in it started with the
diligence with two surgeons to afford every assistance to the
wounded. On arriving at Hesden ]'Abbe, six miles from
Boulogne, the spot where the coach had upset, the conducteur
was found on his back on a cottage floor, covered with blood,
his foot literally slit in two, from between the second and third
toe to the instep, ancl
a compound fracture of the leg, just
above the ancle. The leg was immediately amputated by
Dr. Dunaud and his son, the conductcur not uttering a
two, a veterinary surgeon—

r passengers, stehnegeeffr se
imperial while the coach was at full speed—had his thigh bro-
ken, and an Irish clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Bourke, from Clon-
mel, had his thigh also broken, both, however, are doing well.
The outside passengers, among whom were six Scotch mecha-
nics, going to Ameins, escaped unhurt; two ladies in the
coupre were a little scratched in the face, but so little injury
did they suffer that the whole proceeded on their journey, ex-
cepting ' a brother clergyman who returned with the Rev. Mr.
Bourke, into town last night.

But Monday will not be soon forgotten by the inhabitants of
Boulogne. Though Sunday closed upon us cold as a Novem-
ber evening, Monday morning broke upon the town with a
close, sultry, and oppressive atmosphere: Till three o'clock
the weather was like a breezeless day within the tropics.
At three a thunder storm from the eastward,
with
extraordinary large and heavy drops of rain falling
altond ins, tewith ;at half-past four the
c
vivid flashes of lightning,
returned, accompanied by a deluge of rain ; hail, as large as
ral:' thunder passed
and over u
mosts
pigeons' eggs falling with the rain. At half-past five, hail stones
of an enormous size—three of which weighed four and three-
quarters, five, and five and a half ounces—poured down like a
shower of bullets. The storm and deluge of rain lasted, with
very little intermission, till three o'clock on Tuesday morning.
The datnage done is beyond calculation : half a million of francs
will not repair it. In the town the beautiful D'Herlan
Arcade is gone. I do not flank that there are . ten panes
of glass left ; Capecure, from the Pont de Servin, west-
ward, is under water ; boats are plying in the streets,
and people have deserted their houses. The gardens, with
stone' walls, are six feet under water, and great fears are en-
tertain,xl that tile homes, which are all built on sand, will
give way. The Liane appears three miles broad, and at one
o'clock this day, though the sluices had been opened from
eight o'clock, the rush of water from the Liane into the
harbour was at least 30 tons a second. No visible decrease
could be noted, indeed some maintained that the Liane was
rising ; all looked with apprehension to the time of high
water in the harbour, which would, as it were, be a darn to
the Laine. lam happy to say, however, that no farther evil
resulted. The country, and the beautiful gardens that sur-
rounded the town are a scene of desolation. The angel of
destruction seems truly to have sweet over thorn. Wimille
and Pont-de-Briques present the same aspect as Capecure
but cottages, stables, cows and hOrses hare been
swept
away, and report. adds ten lives lost, which is not the case
nearer to us. The crops hare been- laid prostrate, in some
parts cut down as with a sickle. The fruit trees are deprived
of all their promise ; and in my own garden a spring has started
up, which pours out three gallons of water per minute. Green-
houses and hot-houses, for twenty miles round, are a melan-
choly heap of h. oken glass Every person looks blue after the
disaster, except the glaziers; and they never looked so inerr.
in their lives. I believe that there is not a house, With;
wenty miles, that has not suffered damage. G---

We received the above letter so full of catastrophe yes.
terday. The writer, who signs himself G., is at present un-
known to us. The communication appears to have undergone
revision, and the post-mark Dover, June 20, is on the letter.
It seems rather strange the news did not come earlier, and the
account, we trust, is exaggerated. On referring, however, to
the country papers, it appears that storms equally violent- have
occurred about the same time in some parts of England. The
following disasters we copy from the Krcester Journal of

DREADFUL THUNDER STORMS AND LOSS OF LIfE.-
During the last week this city and ,neighbourhood have been
visited by several severe thunder storms. The first commenced
about half past one o'clock on Thursday, and lasted two hours.
At its height the rain fell in torrents, accompanied with showers
of hailstones of immense. size, which laid large tracts of grass
and did consPerable damage to the crops. At Stone, Chaddes-
ley, Corbet, Belbroughton, Ilarvington, Shewtone, Elmley, and
part of Hartlebury, the crops of wheat and barley are' wholly
destroyed, to the extent of several - hundred acres. Mr. Joseph
Martin, of Stone, hail fifteen lambs washed clown to the bottom
of a field, where they floated in four feet of water ; and it was
only by the greatest exertions of several men that they were
rescued. A tree near the Mitre Oak at Ihrtlebury was shi-
vered to pieces by the lightning. The houses of the inhabitants
in the lower part of the village were flooded,, some of them five
feet deep, with the rain. The hall had the appearance of small
fragments of ice, measuring several inches in circumference.
[Here follows a long list of the damage sustained by nume-
rous persons in the neighbourhood.]
The gins of the Rev. Mr. Peel's conservatory at Waresley
was entirely broken, and the Image is estimated at 2001. The
glass at the Rev. 'l'. Baker's, of Hartlebury, and at the Rev.
T. Hayward's hothouse at Winterfoid, was also broken.
At Stourbridge the quantity of rain which fell in the time
was immense : all the streets presented the appearance of a
rapid river. Part of the park wall of Joseph Pitman, Esq., of
the Hill, was down, At J3roekmoor, the front of a re-
cently,creet,d pause out, and every greenhouse and
hothou, io the "raglihourhood has • uffere t. At William

A good deal'of pOnitry and many small birds were killed by
the storm; and the-trees have the appearanc'e' id having been
shot at. At Powick the electric fluid, accompanied by an ap-
palling explosion, struck the south-west pinnacle of the church,
and entered the belfr, where it shiiered the framecVork of 414
bells, bet did not injure them ; it then passed, condueted3f
the clock wire, into the clock, to which it did no more,dinnager,

Inolishing the upper portion of the stone .work in its progress,
and, then forced its way into the vestry, where it tore large
stones upwards of a hundred weight from the walls, rendertt:g

On Monday a second storm passed over this city with terrific
violence ; but after every inquiry we do not hear that injury has
been sustained from it.

Yesterday we were again visited with a storm more terible
in its effects than either of the former : and we regret to add
not unattended with loss of life, and serious damage of pro-
perty. This storm, which did not last more than half an
hour, came on about a quarter-past five o'clock. -Mr. Mitton,
of the Old Farm House, near this city, lost his life under the
following circumstances:-LHis son, a child about seven years
of age, had gone into the field with a person who was fetching
the cows to be milked; seeing the storm coming on Mr.
Mitton remarked to his wife that the child would get wet,
and he immediately put a halter upon the poney and rode .off
to bring back the child ; but in passing through the second
field from his house, when about the eentre of it, both he
and the poney were struck dead by the electric fluid.
