Stamps and Taxes, July 4, 1845:

During a recent violent storm thy town of Wele-
schin, in Bohemia, was struck at one moment by the lightning in
five different parts. Forty.five houses and 25 barns were reduced
to ashes. A woman, aged 22, and a boy six years old, were
found dead in the ruins.

FIRE AT GRotiVENOR-HOUSE, KNIGHTSBRIDGE-
OREEN.—On Thursday morning, about three o'clock, a fire was die.
covered by a metropolitan police-constable in the well-known
boarding-house establishment, Grosvenor-house. The inmates
were apprised of their danger by the officer, and a messenger was
sent to the Chandos-street, County Fire-office, and King street,
Golden-square, fire stations. Three engines, with several firemen,
were soon in attendance, by which time the fire had taken a fear-
ful hold of the lower roomi. The water was well supplied, and by
great exertions the fire was arrested in its progress ; not, however,
until a large room and valuable furniture were consumed, and
other parts of the building damaged by water. The fire originated,
it is believed, in afoul chimney.
FUNERAL OF THE HON. CAPT. DE SALIS.—The
remains of the late much.lamented Captain the Hon. C. Louis
Faire De Sails were removed on Wednesday from the residence
of Mr. Woolmer, surgeon, Victoria-road, Pimlico (in whose neigh.
bourhood the gallant officer met with the melancholy accident
which caused his premature death), for interment, in the family
vault at Harlington Church, Middlesex. At nine o'clock the pro-
cession was formed to receive the body, and the coffin borne on the
shoulders of four privates of the gallant deceased's company se.
leered for this duty, preceded by the full band of the Scots Fusilier
Guards, playing the " Dead March in Saul," and the men of the
first battalion, the pall borne by Cdptains Brendrip, Rumley, Terry,
Jones, Francis Seymour, and William Ridley, proceeded to
Knightsbridge, where a hearse and mourning coaches awaited its
reception, to convey the body to its last resting-place. Prince
Edward of Saxe Weimar, Colonel Drummond, the Marquis of
Douglas, and all the officers of the regiment, by whom the de-
ceased was held in the highest esteem and respect, swelled the
mournful ranks. Captain Rodolph De Salis and Harvey De Salis,
Esq., brothers of the deceased, and D Holmes, Esq., were the
chief mourners, and a great number of officers attended the pro-
cession throughout, among whom were the Hon. William Leices-
ter, Lord Gerald Fitzgerald, Sir Archibald Macdonald, Bart., J.
P. Courtney, Esq , the Hon. James Murray, Colonel Walker,
Charles Newton, Esq., Ralph Leicester, Esq. The hearse arrived
at Harlington Church shortly after one o'clock, when the funeral
service was performed by the Rev. L. C. Booth.

The tax on dogs (sa3s a Belgian journal) pro-
duced in 1844, in the City of Antwerp, the sum of 44,903 f.
