• all his interest in the property at Portchester. To his
nieces, the daughters of his late brother, Sir George Garrett,
he gives the silver cup, which their father and the testator
had presented to his late brother, William Garrett, and which,
since his decease, has been given to him. To his sons,
Charles and Robert, both of the Honourable East India Com-
pany's service, and to his daughter, Eleanor, he leaves dis-
tinct pecuniary legacies, and has made a suitable provision
for his wife. A sum of about 5,0004 in the funds, will be
divided among all his children. The residue he leaves in
trust for his three daughters, Mary Ann, Jane, and Eleanor.
The personal estate was valued at 20,000!. The acting
executors are J. T. Garrett, Esq., the son, and Richard Bar-
ker, Esq. ; Captain J. B. Purvis, RN., and Colonel W. H.
Raikes are the other executors. The Gallant Admiral died
on the 13th of April last, at the age of 72.
The late Thomas Vilett, Esq., of Swindon, Lieutenant-
Colonel of the Wilts Militia, and many years Deputy-Lieu-
tenant and magistrate for the county, by his will made in
1843, has devised his mansion and the farms, lands, and
hereditaments, in the several parishes of Swindon, Blunsdon,
and Stratton, in the county of Wilts, and all other his real
estates to his two sisters, Mrs. Grooby, wife of the Rev.
James Grooby, Vicar of Swindon, and Mrs. Rolleston, wife
of Samuel Rolleston, Esq., for their lives ; and on the death
of the survivor of his sisters, then to his godson, William
Vilett Rolleston, son of George Rolleston, and grandson of
his brother-in-law, Samuel Rolleston. The furniture he
leaves to his sisters equally, but the plate and foreign china,
at their decease, he bequeaths to his said godson, that the
same may descend and pass along with the freehold. He
has left legacies to several of his friends; also legacies to his
servants. The residue of his personal estate he leaves to his
sisters, who are the acting executors of his, will. The per-

SEVERE THUNDER STORM IN

GLOUCESTER.

On Thursday this city and neighbourhood were
visited by an appalling thunder storm. Partial showers
had fallen early in the day, but about noon a mass of
clouds,heavy and black, was observid. approaching the
city, rom S.W., and the portentous vapour apparently
gathered density as it sailed along. Vivid flashes of
lightning sprung from it in rapid succession, and one of
the peals of thunder was terrific. A herald flash rent
the cloud, and the peal which followed it instantaneously
was so profound—near—horrible—that the stoutest
spirit cowered during its prolonged roar. The very
houses vibrated with the shock of the warring elements,
while a violent and heavy storm of hale that also raged,
increased the confused sounds pervading the atmosphere.
We regret being obliged to add that the storm did not pass
over us harmlessly. The first toll-house•on the Stroud road
was struck by the lightning, and considerably damaged.
One moment it was safely sheltering a number of per-
sons who had sought refuge there from the violence of
the storm, and the next the front of the house was burst,
the upper and lower windows being almost converted•
into one, all the windows were blown out and shivered
to atoms ; the crockery on the shelves was broken, the
window shutters twisted off the hinges and thrown into
the field on the opposite side, while the inmates were
dashed about the floor. Confused, sense and sight
reeling amidst the arrowy, resistless fire of heaven,
none of them are capable of giving an intelligible
account of the catastrophe. As far as we can learn,
it would appear that immediately after the thunder
crashed, the gable of the house was dashed in, the mate-
rials falling in all directions. Three children belonging
to Mr. Power, and a servant, who were standing near
the stairs, escaped unhurt. The toll-keeper, Paish,
and his wife were also untouched, while their baby,
only fourteen days old, which was in an old woman's lap,
was thrown'out of it, and fell on the floor, but was not
hurt. One woman, however, had her clothes set on fire ;
before the flames could be extinguished she was burnt
very badly ; another woman was burnt about the legs,
and a third was also hurt. A boy was also burnt, and
is now deaf from the shock, and another boy has lost
his hearing. But the severest injury was sustained by a
man named George Johnson. At the time the house
was struck he was leaning against the door ; his profile
was actually burnt on the wood by the lightning. The
outline of the head and face is quite perfect, the space
within it being charred. Johnson sustained a cut under
his eye, his smock-frock was burnt off his back, and he
was completely paralysed by the shock. The sufferers
were immediately conveyed to the Glocester General In-
firmary, where their injuries were attended to, and they are
all gradually recovering. The lightning apparently was

ribbons, and besides being severely burnt in the back,
his legs were paralysed; he is, however, recovering. At

PRINTERS' ALMS-Ron sIE FuNy..—The annual meeting
at the
held in the theatre of the
htth;
eLuke Jamesgansard, Esq.,
extraordinary success they had met
with during the short time the institution had been in ex-
istence;present time they bad invested with the
secretary, congratulated
Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt
1,0001., and they were in a position to invest a larger
sum.- The amount of their present capital, including the
receipts for the past year, and an addition of 201. handed
to the Secretary at the meeting--(Load and continued
cheers)—was 1,797/. 15s ld., whilst their expenses amounted
only to 231., leaving a balance of 1,774/. 15s. Id. The report
recommended that the committee be empowered to lay out
600/. in the purchase of an eligible plot of ground within five
miles of the metropolis, on which it was proposed to com-
mence the institution by the erection of six houses, to be in-
creased as their funds permitted. They also recommended
the first stone should be laid by Luke James Hansard, Esq.
—(Loud cheers.) The report was adopted. The name of
the institution was changed to that of the Printers' Provident
Retreat, the officers of the institutiou were re-elected, and,
thanks were given the chairman.
GLASS CUTTERS' A NNIVE R SAR Y.—Yesterday, this
ingenious body of workmen formed in procession, and paraded
the streets of the metropolis, attended by two military bands
of music, and afterwards sat down to an excellent dinner, at
the Eyre Arms Tavern. Some years ago their procession
consisted of from 500 to 600, but yesterday exhibited a woful
falling off in their numbers.
DECREASE OF CRIME IN HAMPSHIRE.—There have
not been so few prisoners for trial in the county gaol in this
city for the last fifteen years as at the present moment.
Three only are waiting to be tried at the sessions holden,
Monday, 6th July; thirty-five males and six females at tb.e
assizes commencing Monday, the 13th of Jaly ; but four of
those prisoners are committed for crimes of serious mag-
nitude. On the civil side so few cases are entered up to this
date that many of the long-robe gentlemen must submit to
go briefiess. Debtors' sides : There are only four on the
master's and five on the country or poor sides.
CURIOUS Morro.—The pavement of the Church of
Santa Maria del Fiore, at Florence, says a correspondent of
The Builder, is curious, and represents the signs of the
Zodiac, with the sun in the centre, surrounded by the fol-
lowing strange line, which can be read either way
"En giro torte sol ciclos et rotor igne."
SINGULAR SUICIDE.—On Friday evening, %II elderly
' female, named Webber, seventy-five years of awe, committed
suicide in a most determined manner, by cutting_ her throat
' with a razor, under a clump of es-in Bonner's-fields,
within a hundred yards of the chq :9-IsrefAc#4 gate into the
' Victoria Park.
