THE STORM ON SATURDAY.
(From The Sun of Last Nicr)
The following additional particulars we're obtained yester-
day :
THE ITALIAN Oritßa-HOusE.—Whilst the storm was
raging, the hail fell with such violence upon the various sky-
lights on the roof, that nearly every square of glass was
broken. Fortunately plenty of assistance was in the house,
and the rain as it fell through was quickly baled away. The
damage done is, therefore, not nearly so great as might have
been etpected. Yesterday tarpaulings and canvass were
placed over the broken windows to keep the rain and dust
out. The Opera Colonnade, it will be remembered, was
lighted by means of eighteen fancy circular lanterns, which
contained in the whole many hundred squares of glass.
Upon inspecting the Arcade yesterday, it was found that
nearly every pane of glass was shivered to atoms. The va-
rious tradesmen of the place had also the whole of their sky-
lights demolished, and their shops covered with water.
TEE REFORM CLUB-ffousE.—Throughout the whole of
Sunday and yesterday, one of Mr. Merryweather's fire en-
gines was engaged pumping out the water which had entered
this large building. Towards the latter part of the evenia;
the men succeeded in getting the house free. 14 ole.toe
the water was nearly ten feet deep.

SAvILL/1"
110U.Sts, LEICESTER.SQt7A ItE.—Tbe greater por-
tion of the skylights over the exhibition-rooms were broken,
stud the lower part of the premises completely inundated
with water. The water rose several feet in Mr. Smith's wine
shades on the basement, and did great mischief.
THE ADELAIDE GALLERY.—NearIy the whole of the beau-
tiful stained gla,s windows on the roof of this establish-
ment, under which the daugerreotype portraits were taken
by M. Claudet, are broken. The skylights in the other
portions of the gallery are likewise demolished. The damage
done to the adjoining property in the Lowther-arcade is very
considerable.

lIIINGERFORD-MARKET.—The damage done to the glass-
work
in this market is most extensive. There is scarcely a
whole pane left in any of the skylights. Nearly all the
tradesmen in the lower market had their goads either
washed away or greatly damaged,
THE WESTERN EXCHANGE.—It is impossible to tell the
exact damage done at this building. Besides the injury to
the premises, the stall-holders had their fancy goods washed
down, and in many instances the whole of the articles were
spoiled. It is feared that the loss to the stall-holders alone
will exceed 1,5001.
THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE.—A number of men were
employed the whole of yesterday and the preceding day in
baling out the water that had accumulated in the Public-Re-
cord-office, Carlton side. From the great care that was
taken in removing the records, it is believed that not one
document has suffered more than from being completely
saturated with water. _
