THUNDERSTORM AND HAIL SHOWER.— On Saturday
evening, about half-past tour o'clock, the town and
neighbourhood of Belfast were visited with a thunder-
storm and a very heavy hail shower, which lasted for
about fifteen minutes, and did considerable damage
outside of the town. In the Botanic Gardens the

ship with all her stores might be taken in at high
water, at neap tides. This is a step in the right
direction, and if adopted at first, a very large expense
would have been saved.

SHOT PRACTICE ON THE KAMPTIILICON LINING
FOR IRON SHIM—The last kamptulicon butt not
having been sufficiently lined with that material,
when practised at about a fortnight ago, from the
Excellent, no opinion could be formed of its capabili-
ties of preventing the shot breaking and the splinters
flying off. Another iron butt, with a better lining,
was therefore prepared, and it was fired at on Tues-
day afternoon, from the Excellent, at the distance of
450 yards. We have heard that it does not answer
the expectation formed of it. The shot passing
through the iron hal the effect of separating the
kamptulicon substance or planking, and breaking it
off in large square pieces, instead of passing through
it by a round hole. A correspondent, however, has
sent us the following account :—" Four 321 b. shots
fired from the battery of the Excellent, with a charge
of 101 b. of powder, and a range of about 500 yards,
against a large iron target, lined with kamptulicon,
the shots struck the target with nearly the same re-
sults as those described to have taken place a Wool-
wich, in 1846, in which instance the shots were fired
from the Ordnance guns. The previous experiments
at Portsmouth were to test the efficiency of timber as
a lining between the angle irons, when it was found
that the effect of shot was to add wooden splints rather
than to diminish those of iron. From the proper-
ties of the kamptulicon it cannot splinter, and the
pieces of it which are blown out by the force of the
shot are pronounced to be harmless, whilst the greater
portion of the iron and splinters were retained. It
appears that the views of Mr. Walter (the gentleman
at whose instance the experiment was tried), are not
confined to iron ships. He says that the composition
being a non- conductor, would remove the difficulty
which exists with regard to the frequent derangement
of the compass. The question of its adoption of course
rests with the Admiralty."
Rear-Admiral J. B. Reynolds, C. 8., the Comman-
der-in-Chief on the Brazil Station, in his fl3g-ship
Southampton, 50, Captain N. Cory, returned to Rio
Janeiro, August 10, after a cruize in which her ten-
der, the Harpy steam-vessel, Second Master Beatson
in charge, bad captured an empty slaver, as mentioned
in our intelligence from Brazils, in another column.
The slaver was a vessel of 120 tons, and had been
sent to St. Helena for adjudication. The Southamp-
ton remained at Rio August 28. The Cormorant, 6,
steam-sloop, Commander Schomberg, returned there
from cruising, August 22, and the Rifleman, 8,
screw-schooner, Lieutenant Commander Branch, re-
turned with the flag-ship. The Sharpshooter, 8,
screw-schooner, Lieutenant Commander Barclay, also
returned to Rio, from a cruize, August 18.
Dauntless screw steam-frigate, Captain E. P. Hal-
stead, bent sails on Tuesday, and yesterday her com-
passes were swung by the master of the Victory, and
she is now ready to go to Spithead. She is uncom-
monly well painted, and is already in creditable
order; she looks well, and there is not a more splendid
ship in the service. It is a great pity that she has
been undermasted. She should have had spars for
her tonnage, for a ship of this description should never
use her steam but on urgent occasions.
Peterel, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Commander
Cresser, has had her defects made good at Devonport,
and is now ready for sea.
Retribution, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Warden,
has arrived at Queenstown from Portsmouth.
Seaflower cutter, Lieutenant-Commander Griffiths,
tender to the Cuckoo, arrived at Portsmouth from
Jersey yesterday morning, and went into harbour.
Thetis. 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., is nearly com-
plete at Devonport. She will be taken out of har-
bour this morning.
Termagant screw steam frigate, recently fitted as
a first-class advanced ship at Portsmouth, fully rig-
ged, with all descriptions of stores on board for three
months, has been taken into the steam-basin and
totally dismantled. Her stores, rigging, cordage,
canvas, and her spars and yards (except her lower
masts and those "stowed on the booms) have been
landed, and returned into store. Her guns are to re-
main on board. It was only a short time since that
she was fitted, and it was expected daily that she
would have been commissioned ; however, this process
sends her into ordinary..
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.--The Britannia, 120,
Captain Yates, has been removed to the moorings of
the Illustrious to-day, and commenced painting.
The Norwegian corvette Ruen, Captain Valeur,
sailed from Spithead this afternoon for Cherbourg,
Brest, Lisbon, and the Mediterranean.
The annual meeting of the Seamen and Marines'
Orphan Schools took place at this port to-day, the
Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Bladen Capel,
K.C.8., in the chair. The society, we are pleased to
say, seems prosperous, but its funds need augmenta-
tion. No charity in the kingdom is more deserving
of the sympathies and support of the benevolent than
this, inasmuch as it is founded solely for the educa-
tion and welfare of the orphans of both sexes of those
who have bled or died in its defence.
WOOLWICH' OCT. 9.—The Geyser steam-sloop, at
Woolwich, is expected to be commissioned at that
port to-morrow by Commander Edward Tatham
(1846).
The Garland, Dover mail steam-packet, Lieutenant-
Commander W. Wylde, left Woolwich at 8 o'clock
A.M. to-day, and Mr. Humphrys, chief engineer at
WoOlwich Dockyard, went down in her to witness the
working of her engines after their defects were made
good, and as they answered remarkably well, the Gar-
land proceeded for Dover, to resume her duties at that
station.
The Resistance troop-ship, Master-Commander
Bradshaw, has a number of shipwrights and joiners
employed upon her previous .to the embarkation of
three companies of Royal Artillery, one for con-
veyance to Gibraltar, one to Malta, and one to Corfu,

glass in the roof of the orchid house was completely
riddled by the lumps of ice which fell upon it, some
of them very nearly three inches in circumference ;
scarcely a pane has been left whole in the small green-
house, and the cold frames have all been injured more
or less. At Mr. Batt's, of Strandmillis, the effects
of the storm were also severely felt ; and at Mr.
Bristow's, in the opposite side of the Lagan from the
Botanic Gardens, there were no fewer than 29 panes
of glass broken in his dwelling-house windows, and
120 in his greenhouse. On Sunday and yesterday a
great quantity of rain fell, and the weather has been
very stormy ; indeed, such has been the violence of
the storm, that about ten o'clock yesterday morning
a large chimney, lately erected, by Mr. Frith at his
manufactory was blown down ; and in the evening a
large ship dragged her anchors, and was nearly ashore
at Groomsport. At a late hour last night, however,
we.were informed that she had been got into Belfast
Lough, where she was then riding in safety.
From the coast of Ireland many disastrous ship-
wrecks are reported. The Wateford correspondent
of the Shipping Gazette writes:—" The Bandon,
Shea, put in, from Newport for Kinsale, and reports
that, running in, she fell in with a large steamer,
supposed to be one of the packets, with the hull of
the Serapis, of Wexford, for Waterford, from Car-
diff, in tow. The master of the steamer hailed him,
and asked him if he would take her in tow. He replied,
if he would pass the warps on board in his boat, he
would ; but the master of the steamer not complying
he left him. The boat was hauled up, and took the
people out of the wreck, and let her go. When the
report came on shore, the Joseph, fishing smack, went
out after her and towed her into Dunmore, where she
remains. It is not known how the accident happened,
as the crew were taken away in the steamer. The
Brisk, Hughes, from Newport to Cork, parted her
chain up Buttermilk Castle. She drove against the
point, and when the tide fell she sunk. The crew
are saved. When she run in the wind was S S W.,
and about eight P.m. the wind came at W.N.W.,
strong, and she parted.
Her Majesty's dockyard lighter Tortoise, from
Holyhead for Plymouth, was driven high on the
beach at Maltraeth, and remains.
At Aberystwith, on Saturday, as the day came on,
it increased to a whole gale ; the sea in the bay ran
high, short, and hollow. About 8 A.M. a vessel was
perceived in the offing, making for this port, heavy,
but little sail set. On her arrival into port, she
proved to be the schooner Idea, Delahoyde, from
Glasgow or Troon for Seville, having in the early

From the coast of Scotland we have the following
from the Shipping Gazette correspondent:—"Mon-
trose, Oct. 7.—N.E., moderate, cold and wet.—The
Edith, Moodie of this place for St. Petersburgh for
Dundee, came on shore this morning, about three
o'clock, at the mouth of the North Esk. The night
was extremely dark and stormy, wind at S.E. Hav-
ing missed the lights, the vessel got, away down into
the bottom of the bay, and the wind, in place of
abating, continuing to increase in violence, it was
deemed prudent to run her on shore. Preparations
are now making for landing the cargo ; and, should
he weather keep moderate, the likelihood is she will
be got off, and towed round to this harbour."
CUMBERLAND.—Yesterday was one of the most
stormy and tempestuous days that has been experienced
here for several years past. The gale commenced at
an early hour in the morning, and continued with
fearful violence until after midnight. We have not
heard of any damage having been sustained in the
town ; but we are afraid we shall yet hear of sad
disasters at sea, from the fury of the tempest. Some
vessels entered this port during the storm. A. portion
of the sea-wall in front of the railway at Mickleam
Point, near Herrington, was washed down yesterday
by the heavy sea. The line of railway is at such a
distance from the breasting that the disaster throws
no obstruction whatever in the way of the trains pass.
ing to and fro, as usual.—Cumberland Pacquet, of
Tuesday.
At Whitehaven on the 7th it blew a complete hur-
ricane from north-west, and the sea ran with a tre-
mendous swell on, and the run in the harbour was so
strong that it was with the greatest difficulty ships
were kept to their moorings. 'The Woodville, Hellons,
which sailed for Dublin on Saturday, having lost her
sails, came back too late on the tide, and stuck out-
side the old quay, and struck so heavily the next
tide that she sunk, but on Tuesday morning the
water was let out of her, and being caulked, the
weather having moderated, she has been towed into
port. The Mary, Douglas, of and for Dublin from
this port (coal laden), has been driven on shore on
ftetru which
Drigg Beach, but is expected to be Fot off if the wea-
ther moderates.
At Maryport the Grace, Burnie, from Quebec, ar-
rived off for Port Carlisle, but in consequence of a
gale from the N.W. a pilot could not get out to her ;

on shore to save the vessel and cargo, after which she
struck heavily for a short time, and had six feet of
water in her hold, but no doubt
will be got off again
after discharging her cargo.
At Fleetwood the gale did not abate until the
night of Monday, and -on Tuesday • morning a vessel
was discovered on her beam-ends, on the north wharf,
inside the Screw Pile Lighthouse. The Nile (steamer)
went to her, and she was found to be the Lion, of!
Ardrossan, laden with Indian corn, and supposed to
be from Liverpool for Londonderry; the hatchesl
were off, and the vessel full of water, with a great
part of the cargo washed out. Some of the sails, I
spars, and. running rigging were got and brought in,l
and every effort will be made to get the vessel into'
harbour, but it is doubtful if this can be done. None!
of the crew have been heard of, and as there was no
boat with the vessel, it is feared they took to the boat,
and have all been lost. There is little or no chance
of getting any of the cargo. The sloop Sarah, of
Whitehaven, laden with pipeclay, is ashore at Black-
pool.
At Bridlington, the Commerce, Jeffery, of Spey,
from London for Newcastle, put in on Monday, with
mainsail split. While coming to an anchor in the
bay, and handing the topsail, at 12 30 P.M., two of
the crew, natives of Aberdeen, fell from the yard and
were dreadfully injured. One, Theophilus Leggett
Christie, aged 23, had received a concussion of the
brain ; he lingered until 11 TN., when he expired.
The other, David Lowe, besides other injuries, had
one thigh broken.

The frame timbers of the Agamemnon, 80, build-
ing here, have been all put up, and workmen have
commenced a platform where the lower deck is to be
placed to test the working of her stern guns. A ship
gun-carriage and a section of an 8-inch gun nine feet
long, to weigh 65 cwt., have been placed on the plat-
form, to ascertain how they may be worked before the
deck is permanently laid. The stern of the Aga-
memnon is round, and projects considerably beyond
the screw-propeller with which she is to be fitted.
Mr. Wa.t, assistant-surveyor, paid an official visit to
the Agamemnon on Tuesday last, and it is expected
the Lords of the Admiralty will visit her on Satur-
day, or on an early day next week.
