DEAL.—On Friday last, about eleven o'clock, this
town was visited with a thunder storm, accompanied by
deluging torrents of rain, which lasted, without any
any intermission, nearly an hour and a half. The quan-
tity of water which fell during the above period was
enormous, and unexampled in the recollection of the
oldest inhabitant. Several cellars and low apartments
of the inhabitants were considerably inundated, and the
streets, from the depth and rapidity
of the water, in a
very brief interval were rendered quite impassable. In
some instances, boatmen were obliged to push off preci-
pitately to their galleys and punts anchored afloat, in
order to bail them out, and prevent them sinking. What
is very remarkable, the liquid torrents did not extend
much beyond two miles.—Kent Herald.

IRISH RAILWAYS.—The preparatory prospectus of
the Irish Great Western Railway has been issued. It
is proposed that the line shall run from Dublin to Mel-
linger and Athlone. It is to diverge from the Dublin
and Cashel Railway at or near Lucan, and running
thence by or near the towns of Leixlip, Celbridge, May-
nooth, Kilcock, Enfield, Clonard, Kinnegad, and Kinn-
can, to Mellinger and Athlone, being a distance of sixty-
six statute miles. The expenditure has been estimated
by Sir John M'Neill at 11,0001. per mile. The pro-
posed capital is 730,0001.
THE CONVICT BARBER.—We are authorised to
state that Sir James Graham has intimated that he can
see no ground whatever for interfering with the convic-
tion of Barber, and that the ship Agincourt, in which
that convict and his accomplice Fletcher were passen-
gers, is on her way to her destination. It is believed
that if any confirmation of the propriety of the verdict
had been considered necessary, that cop4rmaticin
was furnished in the ingenious itniggle to appear to be
an innocent man, made by Barber after his condenana-
tion-L:a struggle Which shcoVed bow invossible it waq
