The Builder states that four Sevres vases, not many
inches high, lately brought the enormous sum of 3,360/. ;
and "the Queen has three small vases, for which a
dealer told us he would willingly give 4,000 guineas."
DAMAGE EY LIGHTNING.—On Thursday afternoon the
tower of Holy Trinity Church, in Stretford New-road,
Hulme, was struck by lightning. The fluid fractured
one of the pinnacles on the top of the steeple, large
pieces of which fell through the roof of the tower in two
places, and through the church ceiling into the church
below. The whole of the pinnacle was shaken down to
the roof of the tower, and several pieces of stone were
hurled into the road. One person had a very narrow
escape from being struck by one of these fragments. A
cabdriver was turning his vehicle round to the cab stand
opposite the church, and his horse aed cab bad just got
clear of the spot when the stone came down with great
force, deeply indenting the ground. The pinnacle was
broken into many pieces, large and small, which were
hurled in various directions. About a quarter-past 12
o'clock on the same tip a violent storm of thunder,
lightning, and hail broke over Sheffield. The rain came
down in torrents for upwards of an hour, and for some
time was accompanied by hailstones as large as ordinary
gooseberries. Some scores of panes of glass were broken
in the roof of the Midland Railway station. Tho peals
of thunder and flashes of lightning succeeded each other
with extreme rapidity, and were very a'arming. A
poplar tree standing in a gafden near the Midland Rail-
way station was struck by the lightning, and carried
into. Carlisielitteet, a distance of nearly 100 yardo.
