AWFUL THU.:%IPER-STOistri.-_ PENRITH, JUNE 6.
Yesterday afternoon one of the most teirille and awful thunder
storms ever remembered, accompanied with hail, visited Fen-
rith and its neighbourhood, The morning was fine and clear,
the sun shining brightly, and edaeeely a cloud was visible to
dim the horizon. Soon after noon the a;:. became quite sul-
try and overpowering, and thunder was oirgee;enally heard
at a distance. About three o'clock the sky suddenly became
dark and lowering, and the clouds might be seen mowing
through the air in different directions at a rapid rate. About
four o'cLoele daylight was almost shut out by the sudden darken-
ing and overhanging clouds, and about this time an awful
clap of thunder was heard, accompanied with lightning, and
after a short interval one of the most severe and tremendous
hail showers commenced that was ever witnessed by the
oldest inliebitant living in the neighbourhood, and continued
with uriabateel fury for upwards of half an hour the 411•
stones were the Jarst ever seen, being about the size of a
common Spanish nut and the streets were covered with
them fee some time:until the rain fell in torrents. During
the contimi2nce of this severe bail-etorm the thunder
raged in .on,e ,eontinuous and awful roil, no interval
between &tail pea intervening ; and the air seemed
literally in one eitetria flame of fire,• flash suc-
ceeding flash without any intermission during the con.
tinuence of the storm. The fury of the tempest
did not lot above an hour, but during that time most of the
streets of keerith were sheets of water, and the elwOing
houses in low sitaatipns were mostly inundated. We have
not as yet heard of spy dernage done by the lightning, but
a considerable number of sieetp-its and windows in exposed
situatiees have been broken by the few and size of the hail-
stones, and nearly all the glass frames in the gardens of the
neighbourhood Wye been destroyed or damaged by the seve-
rity of the storm, it is supposed that great damage will
have bean done to the stasid,ing crops in the country by the
hail- storm ; but as yet we Nava not heard the particulars.
It is only about a week since the raiKaaihs overhanging
lisswigic were covered with snow, which seems veiy extra-
ordinary at this season of the year.
DEATH FROM A FISTOL-SHaT.—Yesterday afternoon
Mr, William Baker, jun., ,deputy-coroner, held an inquest
at the Black Bull, Kingsland-read, on the body of Mr.
Charles James Kampf, aged 21, who had lately come into
possession of eosn property, and had within the last few
months opened a grotty's drop, at 31, High-street, Kingsland.
William Bellamy, an assistant to the deceased, said that on
the evening of Mondav, the 22d of Jane last, the deceased,
who had been ant, -returned home at half-FSt eleven at
night. Witness, ore attempting to close the door, was told
by the deceased to let it alone and go to bed. He left the

Ile afterwards said, "that whilst he was taking a
pistol oat of his pocket the trigger naught the lappel of his
coat, and it eig&ded." He had had the pistol in his pos-
session about two enoieths, and had fired it •at the back of
his premises on the prolong; Saturday, in consequence of
thinking that he heard thieves there, On coming of age he
entered into' possession of considerable property. Witness
had observed that his spirits were depressed, but he did not
know the CUlse. He had been keeping company with a
young lady at Wooaord. During the last fortnight of his
life he had complained of put toping able to sleep. Police-
constable 287 N gave testimony to the same effect. The in,
quiry at this stage was adjourned to procure the attendance
of the surgeon, to ascertain whether or not deceased had
made any statement to him respecting the affair.
Sir 1% Wilde is to succeed the late Chief Justice Tin-
dal. Mr. Jervis will be Attorney-General, and it is said that
Mr. Romilly will be the new SolicitoreGeneral,
The Earl of Liverpool will retain his office as Lord
Steward of her Majesty's Household. The Earl of Granville,
it is said, will be appointed Master of the Buckhounds. It
is Captain Henry Eden, R.N., who is appointed Private
Secretary to Lord Auckland, the now First Lord of the Ad-
miralty.
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The last meetino for the
summer was held yesterday afternoon, at the rooms of the
society in Regent-street, 111 r. Soll3, F.R.S., in the chair.
The exhibition included a collection of interesting varieties
of fruit and plants from China, recently brought over by Mr.
Fortune, the Society's collector. An interesting object was
a clove tree in good bloom and perfect fruit, from the gardens
of the Duke of Northumberland at Sion-house, bearing this
condiment in high perfection, for which the society awarded
the Silver Knightian Medal to Mr. Carter, gardener to the

Duke.
THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT THE DROITWIC/I SALT-
wons:.4.—DROITWICH, TuEsDAY.—The shocking affair which
happened here on Friday last, turns out to be of a much more
extraordinary character than even appeared at the time of
its occurrence. Yesterday afternoon, the coroner for the city
of Worcester (where one of the unfortunate sufferers died at
the hospital), commenced an inquiry at that institution,
before a respectable jury, touching the origin of the
accident, but in the absence of . necessary witnesses
the proceedings were adjourned until Thursday next.
Since Friday, the proprietors of tha works where the acci•
dent happened have surveyed the ruins of the premises, and
find that at the lowest computation it would take a thousand
pounds to put them in sufficient repair for use. The origin of
the disastrous affair cannot be ascertained with any degree
of certainty, there never having been a similar accident at
these or any other salt-works fit Droitwich within recollec-
tion. The force of the explosion may be judged from the
fact, that two carts, with the horses attached to them, were
actually blown into the river Satwarpe, and the scalding
brine, escaping from the tanks, rushed into the stream, and
randeled it too hot to bear the hand in, besides destroying
the ash,
