The 'Earl and Countess of Wilton have left town,
for Cowes, Isle of Wight. They have gone there in order
to recruit the noble earl's strength, for since his recent
attack of gout, although recovered from the malady, his
lordship does not regain strength.

N EIV S PAPE t
THE LATE STO
- -- • ...
The storm whicht,broke over the metro:.:43 anral§
parts of the North of ,England on Fr'eay "t: e severest
known for many years. The Victoria Tower of the Houses
of Parliament was struck by lightning in the afternoon.
The House of Lords was sitting at the time for the
purpose of hearing appeals. The shock was sensibly
felt, and their lordships suspended their sitting& for
a short time in consequence. It was ascertained
that no material damage had been sustained, and the
Fatting was resumed. Several sheep were killed,/by the
fig,btning at Streatham, and a horse at Wanilsworth.
Tw,t; men were knocked down by the electric fluid at
HaniLlersmith and severely injured. The premises of Mr.
Davy-,:„of No. 1, Church-street, Hackney, linen-draper,
and a wooden house in East-street, Bromley, were
struck by', lightning, but although much damage
was done, one was injured. A most serious acci,

At Ewell the party stopped for refreshment at a public.
house. Three of the number went into the house, while
the ether two, named Turner and Draper, stood at the
mare's head to keep her gala. While they were patting
her head there came a very vivid flash of lightning,
which struck the mare and the men, and knocked them all,
(town, the mare falling upon the two men. Those in
the house immediately ran out, and found to their
horror that Turner was dead and that Draper
was insensible. The mare was much frightened,
but beyond a few scratches was unhurt. A medical man,
who was near at the time of the occurrence, rendered ina)
mediate assistance, but up to a late hour Mr. Draper was
reported to be in a precarious condition. Mr. Turner's
body is stated to be much disfigured.. At half-past six
o'clock, a beautiful rainbow set in the heavens, and while
it lasted was observed with great interest. Up to mid,
night there were frequent flashes of lightning, witholit
the accompaniment of thunder or rain.
At Brighton the lightning descended the chiraney'be•
longing to a boys' school, driving a register-stove from its
position ; it then ascended into the drawing-room, scatter.
ing the fireirons and throwing the fender to the other side
of the room. Fortunately, no bodily injury was sustained,
An inspector of police, on entering the telegraph office,
was met by a flash passing friniCene instrument to anOth—e-r.
He was stunned and temporarily blinded, and it was a
considerable time before he recovered his eyesight.
The worst calamity, however, which we have to record
took place in the neighbourhood of Birmingham. At,

was in a shed looking on at the storm, when he saw the
shed, in which there were about 300 gross of fog.
signals, illuminated with lightning which played along
the edge of the roof and lighted up the interior. There
was an immediate explosion. The fog-signals went off, one
package after another. Fire burst from the roof of the
wooden shed and burned with fury. Six girls were inside,
four of whom were rescued, but were so fearfully burned,
that two of them are not expected to recover. Two of the
six remained inside. The fire was not extinguished until
the lapse of about two hours and a half. Then the
bodies of the two children were recovered. They pre.
sented a most sickening spectacle. Their skulls were
shattered, the arms and legs were separated from the body%
and the flesh was burnt off their faces to the bones.

Her Majesty intends to give a concert at Buck
ingham Palace on the 19th of the ensuing month, and will
give, towards the latter end of June and early in July
two breakfast parties at the same Palace.

THE PROPOSED RAILWAY AMALGAMATION IN THS
SOUTH OF ENGLAND. —Meetings have been held at
Hastings, Canterbury, and Margate, at which resolutions
condemnatory of the proposed amalgamation of the rail.
ways serving those districts were adopted.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—Exten.
sive improvements are in progress at Sandringham House,
the Norfolk residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Should the Prince and Princess pay a visit to Sandring-
ham during the summer months, they wilt occupy for tha.
time Park House, the seat of General Knollys.

TENDERING EXTRAORDINARY.—A correspondent
of the Builder states that the committee for restoring St.
Peter's Church, Berkhamstead, have accepted a tender
for £390 ; the next was £B5O ; and the highest £1,170 !
The correspondent writes to know how these " frightful
differences occur."

THE 34TH FOOT.—His Royal Highness the Field-
Nlarshal Commanding-in-Chief has been pleased to sanc-
tion the wearing of a laurel wreath on the forage caps by
the sergeants of this corps. Colonel Gwilt, C. 8., in com-
municating the fact, congratulated..the sergeants, as the
;;Ith is the only regiment in the British service to whom
the ornament is allowed.—United Service Gazette.

ANOTHER. CLUB HOUSE. —The committee of the
new club, now called the Marlborough Club, have pur-
chased for £lB,OOO the freehold property in Pall-mall known
as the British Institution. The contract for the building,
which is to be erected from the designs of Mr. David,
Brandon, has been taken by Messrs. Trollope and Sons.—•
Builder.

A LARGE FAMILY.—The King of Siam has just
published an official list containing the names of his
children, with the dates of their birth and of the decease
of those who have departed this life. The royal family
numbers eighty-one children, the eldest of whom was born
in 1823, and the youngest in 1868. ixty-six of these are
still living. The last king but one had sixty-three chil-
dren, and thirty still survive.

A man named Flauratty, who is a sort of under
agent on a property in the county Monaghan, having ren•
dered himself obnoxious by inducing the landlord to charge
rent for the bog on it, which was never done before,
twelve armed men broke into his house the other night,
and " warned him that if he did not desist from giving his
master bad advice the consequence to himself would be
very unpleasant." They then went to the house of a.
bailiff on the property and gave him a similar caution.

THE CONFESSION OF MURDER IN NEW ZEA.-
',lND.—Esther Hoskin, whose circumstantial confession,
at New Zealand, of murdering her sweetheart by stabbing
him and throwing him over a cliff near Helston, has been
reported in this paper, was two years ago indicted at
Bodmin Assizes for arson, and acquitted on the ground of
insanity. The man she says she murdered is alive in
California. The supposed motive of the confession is a
desire to return to England. This statement has been for.
warded to New Zealand, where Hoskin is in custody.—.

LORD BROUGHAM'S FUNERAL.—An Edinburg}
gentleman, travelling in the South of France, in a lettei
dated Cannes, May 24, writes :—" This afternoon, at
five o'clock, the remains of Henry Lord Brougham were
conveyed in a plain deal coffin, covered with black cloth,
and nailed down with plain black nails, without any orna,..
ment or superscription, carried in a musty old hearse
dragged by two sorry horses, to the public cemetery at
Cannes, and pushed into a vault so clumsily that part of
the black cloth was torn off the coffin. A clergyman read
the customary prayers at the mouth of the vault, and
then laid on the coffin two of those common wreaths of
immortelles ; then a Frenchman stepped forward and
read an empty eulogium, the gist of which was that Lord
Brougham had been the means of bringing the English to
Cannes. A motley collection of odd-looking vehicles fol-
lowed the hearse, containing Lord Brougham's relatives
and friends. There were also some Frenchmen, and the
remnant of the English whose avocations do not allow
them to leave the place with the fashionable world.
When we arrived at the cemetery, we found a crowd of
peasantry—men, women, and children. I followed the
hearse the whole way ; it was a hot and a long walk."
—Scotsman.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH. —The Lancet is
enabled to give some additional particulars of the wound
inflicted on the Duke of Edinburgh by the villain
O'Farrell. Upon examination a circular depressed wound,
about a third of an inch in diameter, was found on the
right side, about one inch from the spinous processes of
the vertebral column, and over the ninth rib. There was
indicated
the hemorrhage. As no external appearances
the course of the ball, it became a source of
anxiety to discover the direction it had taken; and,
it was found necessary to probe the wound. When the
probe had entered about two inches it would not pass
further, probably becoming entangled in torn muscular
tissue. Ills Royal Highnes3 suffered extremely from
shock ; the pulse was almost imperceptible, a cold per-
spiration bedewed the face, he frequently requested "more
air," and made several attempts to vomit. Ice and iced
el= p tune were administered ; and, to admit the air
more freely, the sides of the tent were cut and rolled up,
the temperature being about SO deg. Fahrenheit..
After an hour the Duke rallied considerably, but com-
plained of great pain in the right thigh and leg, in the
course of the large nerves. An hour and a half having
elapsed, the pulse had become more natural, the pallor
had lessened, and the sickness passed off. A re-examina-
tion was now made of the right side of the chest, which.
shewed the breathing to be perfectly natural. The Lancet
adds that under the care of Dr. Wright and Dr. Watson
hie Royal Highness lies progressed
