THE THUNDER STORM Or YESTERDAY.—
day, about one o'clock in the afternoon, the metrol
visited with a storm of hail, rain, and thunder, whi
about an hour. For about an hour previous a ye
fog enveloped the atmosphere, and occasioned such
darkness that at the Bank of England, the Custon
and the various public offices, the gas was lighted.
time the wind became very variable, the chief pub
compass from which it blew being from south-east t
west. The barometer stood at about 29 deg: 72 m
there was then a great atmospheric depression.
twelve and one o'clock numerous clouds charged wi
tricity were rapidly approaching from the northern n
when suddenly torrents of rain were discharged frou
accompanied also with a heavy fall of hail. Vivid
of lightning soon followed. The storm passed over
county of Kent, where it was equally intense. Much c
it is said, has been done to the fruit trees which
blossom.
