REMARKABLE EFFECTS of LIGHTNING.
Au instance of the singular effects of lightning, and
of the wonderful escape of an individual who was struck
by the fluid, has this week come under our notice. The
name of the party is Thomas Whitebread, a wheel-
wright, of West Hanningfield; on Sunday se'nnight,
about eight o'clock, he was returning home from a
friend's house, and took shelter from the storm about
three miles from his cottage, under a young oak tree,
When a flash of lightning struck him to the ground, and
rendered him immediately insensible. He partly re-
covered from this state in about an hour, when he found
himself almost covered with water, but the electric fluid
had made such havoc upon him and so shattered his
frame, that it was some time before he could compre-
hend his position. His hat lay by his side torn in se-
veral places, the lining forced out, and the band off.
From his hat the lightning seems to have descended
upon the back part of his head, the hair of which was
singed, down to the middle of his back, opening the flesh
nearly to the bone; it then separated, affecting both
sides of the body, down each leg, one of which is of
wood, the poor man having lost a limb about 30 years
since. The fluid escaped by an opening which it made
through the trousers about the middle of the
cal', and as a last eff ,rt struck the heel of his shoe,
wh'oh it split, and left a black mark upila it. The
°loran of the lightning is plainly visible upon his body
t,y red marks, and in souaP places excoriations. Besid 33
the above remarkable effects, his cos., and waistcoat
were rent at the top to the extent of four inches; a
leather band which was over his shoulders, and was
connected With his wooden limb, qui cOnliderbbly I

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF TOBACCO IN GLASGOW.—
On Thursday evening last one of the most extensive seizures
of contraband tobacco ever made in the west of Scotland was
effected by Mr. T. Gordon, tide surveyor of Glasgow.
About the beginning of this month, 120 barrels of rosin were
landed from the ship Sabbatis, from New York, and as the
vessel was soon to load again, the agents, Mears. Fyfe and
Co., deposited the casks in Mr. Brown's bonded stores until
the consignee should apply for them. This he did soon after,
paid the treight, and removed the rosin to a store in Jamaica-
street. Whilst in Mr. Brown's stores it is stated that one of
his coopers having occasion to cooper one of the casks, had
his suspicions excited, and the matter came to the ears of
both the customs and excise. The rosin was seized, and in
102 out of the 120 casks were found a tin cylinder sur-
rounded on all sides by the rosin to a depth of three to four
inches. The tin cylinders were carefully soldered, and were
filled with the finest Cavendish tobacco, compressed so closely
as to resemble old black oak. The quantity of tobacco in
each cylinder will probably be abaut 60Ibs. to 1001bs., or from
6,00 J to 10,0001bs. in all. So daring and wholesale a venture
would lead to the inference that it was ❑ot the first time that
the dodge had been successfully tried—at all events, it is
likely to be the last.— North British Mail.
