On Monday the town of Preston and neighbour-
hood were visited by a violent and destructive storm. The rain was,
continuous from one o'clock until sit, and the rivers and streams
became so swollen that many overflowed their banks and laid the lands
under water. This was the case at Myerscough, Catterall, Sowerby,
and Inskip, as well as Goosnargh end Salsvick. The cottage of a mats
named King was so flooded, that he opened his back and front dots to
allow the water to make a current. A fish, of the perch species, was
caught making his way through King's house, Two labourers were
killed by the lightning near Garstang, as they were returning from their
work in the evening, and several houses were shattered by the electric
fluid at Preesall. A man was also killed at Longton, in the neighbour-
hood of which great damage was done by the inundations, the crops
being completely under water, and the gardens almost swept away. In
the neighbourhood of Mawdsley and Crouton bridges were broken down
and carried away, embankments thrown down, trees and hedges up-
rooted, and the highways over which the torrent passed completely
unpaved.
A trial was made a few days since, near Lausanne,
in presence of a committee of artillery officers, of incendiary bullets,
which M. Piccard, of that city, has succeeded in improving, and which
may be used without danger by the person firing them. The experi-
ments, which were completely successful, have proved that they can be
sent with as great precision, and to as great a distance, as ordinary bul-
lets. A thick oak case, covered with iron plates, and an ammunition-
case, both filled with tow mixed with powder, were made to explode by
these projectiles at the first trial.
TIGHT BOOTS--(A Jonathan.)--A gentleman
in Kentucky, a short time ago, in pulling off his hoots (which werem
very
tight, and required a tarnation hard tug) actually pulled off one of his
feet, and did not discover his mistake until he went to put on his slip_
pers, when he found he had no foot for his right hand slipper.
ROBBERY AT LUTON, BEDFORDSIIIRE,_._George
Tiplady, of Luton, was charged on a warrant before G. and H. M. Mus-
grave. Esqrs., and the Rev. E ISPDonall, on Monday last, with having,
on the 15th ofJune, stolen two bank notes of the value of 1004 each,
and two others of the value of 501. each, under the following circum-
stances. The money was said to be the property of Mr. Hunt, Mr.
Chase, or Mr. Barnet. It seems that certain houses had been mortgaged
and subsequently scud, and that on the day above named the prisoner
Tiplady attended at the office of Mr, Hunt, solicitor, of Luton, to re,
ceive the balance due to him of 551. odd. Upon signing the deeds then
in the possession of Mr. Hunt, on seeing the:money lying on the table at
Mr. Hunt's, Tiplady observed, he had not seen so much money for some
time, and should like to count it, upon which he took it up and put sonic
part of it into one pocket add some into another, making together 300/.
This was done previous to his signing the deeds. Mr. Hunt then asked
him for the money, upon which he replied, " I shall not re'lle now, do
your best. I will pay Mr. Chase to.morrew." Mr. Hunt then sent for
a constable, when Tiplady offered to pay 100/., observing he would re-
fund no more. He held the money in his hand and said, " Let me go, I
will settle with Mr. Chase to.morrow." Mr. Frederick Ventres Field,
solicitor, submitted on behalf of the prisoner, that the magistrates had
no jurisdiction in this case, as the money was given to him for his signa-
ture to certain deeds. He had, it seems, tried to quit the room, which
Mr. Ilunt refused to allow him to do. He subsequently was taken by
the constable to the lions:, of the latter in custody. While keeping
watch over his prisoner the constable fell asleep, and was awoke by Tip_
lady's touching him, upon which: he jumped up, but his prisoner had
escaped. On Monday last, however, he had surrendered himself to the
warrant above mentisoieci. Mr. Field, for the prisoner, submitted that
the fact of his having signed the deed clearly did away with the felonious
intension. The bench, however, were of a different opinion. There
was only a balance of 55/. to be paid to the mortgagee and to satisfy
other legal demands. Altogether he had, in common parlance, grabbed
a considerably larger sum than was due to him : lie would therefore
stend committed for trial at the next Midsummer assizes under the 7th
and Bth Geo. IV., cap. 29, which Act declares that if any person, under
fa'se pretence, shall take any chattel, money, or valuable security, he
should, on conviction, be subjected to transportation for seven years.
The prisoner afterwards found bail, himself in 50/., and two sureties in
251. each.

guished individuals visited the:works on Wednesday: viz., Marrschal Sault,
Duc de Dalmatie; le Marquis de Mornay, le Baron Perignon, le Comte
de Champlatreux, le Marquis de Dalmatie, le Marquis d'Evrageus, et le
Colonel Naudet.

SMOKING AT VA uxtrALL.---The visiters to these
pleasant scenes of recreation are frequently annoyed this year by the
use of cigars by a part of the company, who ought to know, or be
made to know, better.
The Monitcur states that Dr. Larrey, a physician
of eminence at Toulouse, was attending a lady a few days since on a
difficult accouchement, when he was so overcome by fatigue, apprehen-
sion of failure, or some physical attack, that he was taken with a fit
and fell dead at the moment the child was born; On the same day the
superior of the convent of the Orplielinas, being abruptly told of this
unfortunate event, fainted; and one of her attendants, confused by the
suddenness of her attack, administered to her a strong medicine, which
had been prepared for another invalid, the consequences of which were
such that she expired a short time afterwards.
A new Roman Catholic chapel and college, built in
the Gothic style, at an expense of nearly 60,0001., have just been corn.
pleted at Oscott, near Birmingham.
A few days since one of the engines on the Bir-
mingham Railroad, owing to a board being carelessly or designedly
placed on the rail, Was turned off into a ploughed field, dragging two or
three of the carriages with it.
NEWBURY.-011 Wednesday and Thursday week
the Magistrates of Newbury were engaged examining into the particu-
lars of a most diabolical attempt to murder a girl about seven years old,
by her unnatural mother and her husband. After the mother had
kicked her for some distance into the house, they dashed her against the
floor and ceiling of the room; and then, holding her under the pump,
pumped upon her. Their names are Thomas and Mary Cruse, 30 and
41 years of age, residing upon Stroud Green. The poor child is not ex-
pected to survive the brutal treatment.—Berkshire Chronicle.
On Friday the two o'clock train from Liverpool
came in contact with a coal train which was crossing the road a little be-
yond Newton. Considerable damage was done to the tenders and car..
riages, but no personal injury was sustained.—Manckesfer Guardian.
