' Tuesday, the 9th iiisr. about three o'clock iii.- the.
afternoon, came on at Bolton; in Lancashire, the
most tremendous storin'of thunder; lightning, hail,
and rain; that the oldest-persons in that town can
rerñèiiber The lightning ..i.v;.l's vivid and Very
powerful the thunder-claps quick an& tremendousi
and seemingly, so nearas to canse'appitherisions of
their bursting on the place.' We are sorry to add; .
that three .people have 'been very Materiall'ju burnt
by' the eletaric fluid. A young woman of the Warne
of HASLAM, in' tittle Bolton, paSsing by a window.
to-the door, the lightning brake'
dow like a ball_ of fire, and struck her on one
(that next the window), which is at present. 'quite
dead; she hayiug no feeling in it, but it is•lityped she.
wig recover' its use. Another woman 'sitting- close.
by her, winding, received no'hurt ; but the Windoo -
was shivered to atoms. A similar accilletit hap-
pened on Bolton Moor- ; the ball entered thejroOf
of the house, and' passed through into the cellar;
where were a. Man and a 'woman, bdth'of Whom
Were much hurt every pane of glass in the house '
iwas broken, the sashes were forced out of their
laCes, chimney thrown and•the house other-
much ILT-wt.—l The ,electric tire_,eammuni-
'cated to-some cotton in the' fataory of Mr. JE:t.s., -
MIMI CROOK, which began to .blaze ; but, being
quickly perceived; was soon put out, with Ont mach
damage. It is said that a.manon ..Bolton: Moor, as,
be was weaKirVg in a cellar, was so terrified-by the
shocks, that,in:eiideak;Ouring- to get: oVeie his loom;
