ACCIDENTS BY THE THUNDER STORM OF Wrie
IiESD , Y.-The dreadful thunder storm with \Which ta
metropolis was visited on the night of Wednesdaye-i,
considerable damage in the mirth-eastern and east pof Id
'
I tions of the metropolis. In the vicinity of Hackney'
Bow, and Stratford, the market-gardeners' grounds W,
completely inundated. At Poplar, Limehouse, and elell,
the side of the river, the wharfs and buildings were ,nun
°
; dated, and a number of men were busily engaged de1:171.,.
: yesterday in pumping out the water from the unue;
ground floors. Thus far the injury done by the star,,
~1
I was confined to property. At Stepney and PlaisPbt
life was nearly sacrificed. About half-past elg s
o'clock, at the time the lightning was at its height's,
flash struck the stack of chimneys of the house INTO'„
Beaumont-row, Ben Jonson's- fields, occupied by a lsw,l ,
of the name of Coburn, and carried them away, and the
back portion of the house. Fortunately the whole of the
inmates escaped without sustaining any injury. lit,
e• lightnin also struck a postman of the name of Ward
the act of' delivering his letters. He was taken up nOll/1;
pletely exhausted. At Blackwall a female, just as s
got upon the pier, was struck by a flash of lightnig',
which threw her into the water. One of the men be:
longing to the steamer jumped in and succeeded in bring,
inn her out, when she was conveyed to the Man-of-11e
public-house, and has since been attended by Mr. Baillii;
surgeon, of Blackwall, and remains in a very danger° a
state. On the Barking-road a policeman was knociteLe
down. The lightning tore the oil-skin covering•frone tn
hat without doing any injury to his person.

OXFORD AND GREAT WESTERN JUNCTION ee
-..--k -1.4
WAY.-Mr. Stephenson, the engineer, has lately Vis'wf
the neighbourhood of Wallingford, for the purpose Oa
making some further preliminary survey for this intendei
line, and we understand principally with a view to alter•
his first projected line, which was intended to have been
entirely kept on the Oxfordshire side of the Thames. The
Oxjbrd Chronicle is adverse to the line being carried, enstirely on that side of the river, for several reasons, among,
the difficulty of its execution, its inutility to Nv s't
lingford, and the probable opposition of the Gtr
Western Company to such a line; and our Contempoliria
points out one which crosses the Thames twice, wntlA
be about I4A- miles long, with very little cutting, ";;0
for which there could be no difficulty to procure Vi;
land, it being mostly commonable.. He adds, hovvel:
" we understand the whole matter will rest until :t;
University assemble next month, when it is expe6
that body will signify their intention of co-operating _r,
so desirable a work. The survey will be inamedislev : I
commenced, and application to Parliament made in 445
vember next (provided it is sitting, we presume, gh(luig
be introduced here), and if there be time to give
e- •
necessary notices; and, provided the bill meets with 1
opposition, the Act may be obtained early in the !,I.'
session, the works to proceed and the whole to be flailot:
by the following Christmas. The line is reported
,P9-1'; .
of so easy execution, and consequently can be so chee4%. •
carried out, compared with railways in general, that :1,,
question remains of its becoming profitable, or diffic!`J
entertained in raising the necessary capital."-Worces'
Chronicle.
even,,. WOOD PAVING OF THE STRAND.-Thursday even,,,. '
the committee of paving for the parish of St. Mary'.
Strand decided to pave with wood that part of thiStrel
from Somerset House on the south side of the church, , •
the boundary of the parish next St. Clement Ditnels;;
the alteration from stone paving to wood will add Oro:
to the comfort of individuals attending divine service •Of

the parochial church, as from the increased numb I'
velie•les tra,versing that immense thoroughfare, hints '75,•
quently been the case that the minister has been scer°°:„
