Yesterday', between rwO and three o'clock; . there
was experienced. in this metropolis, and its neigh-
bouihOod; one of the, most violent storms of thun-
.der, accompanied with a most fiuious hurricane and
torrents of r'ain, that was ever known: . The thun-
der was very load; .and the lightning vivid. • The
wind was niost tempestuous; and the rain fell, not
in drops, but in whole sheets; It never was re_
membered that so mach rain fell sin the. same space:
'The sewers could not carry off the water so fait as
it fell. The Strand, ,in sonic plabes, reset bled-A
canal, :and viraS,altnost navigable froM side to side.
The storm continued upwards of half an hour to
rage, with this iriOlence.

.
The Court of Common fleas, •Wrestthinster, was
thrown into much confusion yesterday, during the
thunder storm'; the wind drove the rain' with such
viplence againSl the sky light, that it broke the
glasS' ; and a torrent of rain descending on the wigs
and cravats, of the Counsel; they instantly forsol
their seats in terror arid dismay. '
On the, i sth of June; a vast quantity of sr oW fell

• StOcks as any criterion of ,the political state of the
Country, .must, we should conceive; be vent often
greatly mistaken. It a-ppears from an article in the
Moniteu6 that the niode,of
_paying the Dividends',.
is not regulated by 'any certain and invariable rule,
bat that* depends; in many cases, on an admitted
right in the Governinent, to prefer the aged and
the necessifous; and hy the abuse of this right; or
the caprice, or favour Of a Olei.k in Office: The
OffiCial journal' has published an express notice to
the Annuitants, of Government, that there would
be in future no deviation from the regular and stria
course of payMent.2 .
