NOT'fiNetll,ol.

About five o'clock on, Sunday last, the town of
NOttinghani witnessed a sudden, eonvulsion of the
clouds, floating in an easterly direction'; the rain
deSeended in :torrents, and a vivid flash of light-
ning MIS instantaneously succeeded by the most
dreadful peals of thunder ever remenibered by the
inhahitantS. An electric bail struck through the
roof of the Broad-Matsli Supday school, at .the
saute time, taking part of a chimney,' and a few
stones from the top of the roof, and after baying,
splintered and set fire to one .of
,the posts which
supported part of the ropf, when it. is supposed
to have passed into, the boy's morn beneath, and
then exploded. At the sane
,time a'ball of. fire
passed through the 'girl's room,. corning through
at the west end of the building, where two teachers
'and 40 children, were Collected together. The,
.11'411 passed in a direct line along the rows; throw-
ing down .two forms, when,it seemed to disappear.
The teachers immediately went ,into the boy's
room, which they found full,of smoke, aces:mini:,
Died with a sulphurous smell. The roof was tis-
covered tObe on ,fire, which, through the exer-
tions of several ledividuals, it was soon eitin-
gtliSli4;il. We are happy to observe, that the chil-
dreavescaped unhurt.

to Fact by some passengers.'

The landlady of the nnfortunaie woman at-
tended, and said that .she lived with a young man
in her house, bat was not married. to him. They

and to that'she attributed this raili attempt on tier
own life.

• The poor wonian,hertelf stated; that she •was
born in Yarmouth, Where he had respectable
friends ; but further she did not state, and seemed
to be absorbed in melancholy.
She was sent to Giltspur-street Compter, until
Wednesday, in order that the Physician of the
Jail may attend her, and report how far it will be
prudent to permit' her to be at large.
Another woman, named Mary Campbell, was
then put to the har, charged with having attempt-
ed to drown herself from Blackfriars,bridge, on
SundAy evening. She was artificAly dressed in
a wily to makeher appear ,vs if she were far ad-
vaneed in a state of pregnancy. It, was asCer-
tained th:it she was a pauper belonging to the

employed in the re-building. of the Si. James's
Colice-house, opposite to St james's Palace, Were
brought to the office, charged with riotous in-
haviou at the buildingyesterdaymorning, between
nine and ten o'clock, and threatening to rip open

tickall, bad contracted in the penalty,of 2004
that the building should be covered in. by the first
. day of,this month, and although great exertions
had been made, by paying the. men extra wages,
&c. it could not be. accomplished. On Saturday
se'nnight the prisoners experienced some
faculty in procuring their wages, and in con-
sequence demurred at going to work again on
Monday, without some security of payment.—
They said the Surveyor promised them 'payment,
but this be'denied.; stating that, he merely said he
;Would do his bestto procure them payment.. 'ln the
mean time their master, Mr. Hurkall, became a
bankrupt, and,in consequence, on Saturday night,
there was no person. to, pay the prisoners, and
'they said some. or them went without dinners on
Sunday, and their families were in distress,. as the
Shopkeepers. would not trust them. longer than a
week. Theyapplied to the Surveyor for their wages;
Who declined paying them ; and, they all, in con—.
sequence, went to the Court of ftegirests, in Vine-.
greet, Piccadilly, and obtained a summons
against:lAm. Ile, On the other band, obtained
warrants against them, charging them u ith a riot
at the building, aid endeavouring to prevent °filet.:
inert .141 to had been employed in their stead, from
,proceeding with their' work, by threats and had-
inidaiton.

RRAD, the Sitting Magististe, tOld.the
pri-
sone that whether.they r4cOved their wages or
not, they mast not go to the building, and behave
in the manner they had done, and ordered them all
ro find bail.

MAAL RORQUGH-STRCET.----YeStValy a. pro-
phetess was committed for robbing the kitchen
of Mr.Easeden, in Chapel-street, of two silver

missed, and the property in question was placed
conveniently to be removed. On the prisoner
leaving the house, ,she took the Spoons with her,
and on searching. the basket they found, and she
pleaded a mistake. ,
