EFFECTS .OF A FIRE BALL.--On Tuesday .last,
about a quarter, before five o'clock in the afternoon,
a ball of liquid fire descended from a thunder cloud,
and exploded, with a tremendous noise over the house
of Robert Cawte, a wire-drawer, in Meeting-house-
walk, Snow's-fields, Southwark, a shaft of which,
penetrated thrOngh the 'roof, passed down .the side
wall, 'and 'then through the chiMney, whefe it'
melted the chain of a tnan's.; watch, the nail on
which it was hanging,' and part of the grate and top
of the poker. A boy, about. twelve years of 'age,
the son of Cawte, who. was in the a'at of taking the
tea-kettle ofd the fire, was, throWn down, and so
much lacerated in his left cheek, that he was obliged
to be sent to- Guy's Hospital, where he has ever
since remained and what is most extraordinary, the
iron handle of the kettle was melted in his hand to
a cinder, without injurig the hand. . The man and
his wife, • who were in the same room with their
son, were both much affected, but not so materially
hurt, The poor boy has ever sioee been lost in
in telled.,

A Morning Paper. reports that Mr. C, KEMBLE:
has relinquished his situation at Covent -Garden
Theatre, and liberally hints that he might hive

possesses talents that have justly raised hint too high,
in favour with the public tOr him to. be in any tear
of such an event, and the wottli of his private clip-
racier might have been expected to exempt_ hiui
from the insinuation. .
