A very heavy storm of rain and hail, attended with
thunder and lightning, visited the metropolis between twelve and one
o'clock to-day. We have not heard that it caused any injury, but no
doubt, wherever fruit, vegetables, and corn were exposed to it, there it
must have done considerable damage. The rain was extremely heavy.
The Duke of Wellington's entertainment on the
18th instant is to be more than usually magnificent. Since the last
meeting at Apsley House on the anniversary of Waterloo day, four of
the officers have gone to " that bourne from which no traveler returns."
These places are to be supplied by four junior officers. It is expected
that about 70 will be present on this occasion.

COMPARATIVE SPEED OF THE GREAT WEST-
ERN AND THE SIRIUS.—The Great IVestern overhauled the Sirius, on
the last voyage, at the rate of 37 miles per diem. This was more the
effect of the superior dimensions of the ship, which enabled her better
to contend and hold her way against heavy seas and high winds,
than from the proportions of power to tonnage, which indeed are
all in favour of Sirius—as for instance, she is represented as of seven
hundred tons burthen, and having engines of three hundred and
twenty horse power. If we allow the twenty to be overstated, and that
she has engines of three hundred horse power, we have, by the
siiw,,g lly
of
her owners, two tons and one-third for each horsepower
e redi
to move. The fact, however, is, it is nearer two tons to each horse
power, as she is not 700 tons. The Great iVestern being 1,340 tons,
and having engines of 450 horse power, has only one horse power to
propel every three tons. In fine weather and smooth water, no fair sea
going steamer can beat another, with any pretensions, beyond one mile
per hour. The Sirius is a fast boat, and it is probable the Great
Blestern could not over haul her even at that rate ; and if she could,
the former having 650 miles fair start, it would require a passage of 27
clays for the latter to come up ; so that on this shelving, if the Sirius has
a passage of 13,1 daysfrom Cork, the Great IVestern would, on the day
of her (the Sirius's) arrival, be 325 miles behind.—Bristol Mirror.
