On Saturday the metropolis, and for several miles
round, was visited by one of the most severe storms of
thunder, lightning, and rain, remembered for many years.
It commenced shortly after eleven o'clock, and continued
with scarcely any intermission until about half-past three
o'clock, the rain during that period descending in torrents,
flooding the streets and roads, and rendering them nearly
impassable. It came up from the south-west, passing nearly
to north-east, and was most severe about Hanwell, Ealing,
Acton, Willesdon, Harrow, Edgeware, &c. At the com-
mencement the heavens presented a most awful appearance,
the clouds hanging in huge black masses of such density,
that they resembled black rocks piled one above the other,
and to the westward, after the first two or three flashes of
lightning, which were extremely vivid and forked, they be-
came tinged with a deep red. The thunder was also very
loud. A cerrespondent says that near the seat of the Earl
of Mansfield, between Hampstead and Highgate, a fine
large bull which was grazing in a park with cows, was
killed by the lightning. The same correspondent adds, that
a horse was killed at the same moment, and from the same
cause, while drawing an omnibus in the new-road. A great
deal of damage was done to the trees in Caen wood,
many of them being struck by the electric fluid, and shi-
vered to pieces.
" THE MAN OF BUSINESS."—Women have for
for some time past been the gr?at patronesses of modern
fictions ; but Mrs. Gore has just produced one which we
suspect will be read quite as much by the male as the fe-
male sex. We allude to her " Stokeshill-place ; or The
Man of Business." In this admirable fiction the authoress
quietly but deeply shadows forth the mingled contempt and
hatred which the country aristocracy bears towards a new
man, and hits hard the disposition in this country to post-
pone the enjoyment of life and the ties of affection to the
reputation of a man of business. She also sketches in a
masterly manner one of the social nuisances of the time—
the ‘. worst possible style of young men." The character of
Shoreham, the representative of this class, from his first ap-
pearance to the last we hear of him, is a perfect bijou
as a piece of painting, and his uncle Gustavus Drewe, with
his brother Parson Drewe, the modern sporting, slang Di-
vine, are equally good. All the characters are evidently
drawn from the life.
Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday
night upwards of forty men, principally costermongers,
living in Mill-lane, Deptford, proceeded along the banks
of the river Ravensbourne for the purpose of having a
pitched battle. Police constable Rose 154 It, told them
they should not fight upon his beat, when one of the
party exclaimed, " Let's throw the into the river."

The mob then pulled down a large quantity of garden

the station-house for further assistance, and in a few mi-
nutes returned with the men in reserve. A desperate
conflict ensued, but, after great difficulty, the ringleader
(who was conveyed, on a stretcher to the station-house
in a state of complete nudity), another man, and a
woman, were secured. Several of the police are svverely
injured, and it is a miracle, from the determined che.racter
of the parties, that no lives were lost.
CHURCH RA
- TES.—In consequence of reprsenta-
tions to the Bishop of London, as to the condition of the
Church of St. James, Clerkenwell, Archdeacon Putt sent
the usual monition to the churchwardens, calling upon them
to adopt measures for the necessary repairs of the. edifice.
In pursuance of this monition, a vestry meeting of the inha-
bitants was held on Friday evening, in the church, Mr.
Hayward, the senior warden in the chair, when a% rate of
twopence in the pound was moved by Mr. Nicholson, and
seconded by Mr. Jones. The rate was supporte dby Mr.
Lovell, Mr. Thomson, and others, and opposed. by Mr.
Beasley, Mr. Frost, Mr. Mullins, and Mr. Mafien.. The
vestry, after a discussion of five hours, divided on. an amend-
ment of Mr. Frost, to adjourn the question ibr twelve
months, which was carried by a large majority..
The day
sbefore yesterday (Tuesday) a hrutil fight
took place for five pounds aside between a baker named
Hibbins, a Conservative, and Ashley, the landlord of the
O'Brien Arms public-house, Stamford, a Radical, w ho had
a political quarrel a few days before. The parties wt :nt into
the county of Rutland, where the ring was just Formed,
when they were compelled by the Magistrates co leave that
county. The fight took place at Collyston -vrood, Nor-
zbamptonshire, and lasted for upwards of an b our, when
Hibbins was declared the victor, after having bur -st both of
the eyes of his antagonist Ashley, who is thus rent lered blind
for life,—Stan ford Mercur,y.
