inquiry of a Correspondent from Manchester, respecting this vessel,
Inserted in the &ma a'few days ago, another Correspondent says--
0 All I kueve about the coLenrstra brig of war is, that she was
originally to have been built by NUM Sawn', the constructor of
the Penns. and EX/RALD, and a very celebrated builder ; but
Sanrry having been taken dangerously ill last month, was com-
pelled to abandon his undertaking, and I have never since heard
whether the Navy Board have confided it to any other person."

AWFUL THUNDER STOR3I.

Friday morning se'nnight, about two o'clock, Liverpool was
visited by one of the most awful thunder storms ever experienced
' here. Two claps, in particular, were most terrific, and made the
stoutest heart tremble. The first occurred at a quarter before two
o'clock, and the clap was so loud that it awoke almost every inha-
bitant. The peal resembled more the discharge of a heavy piece,
or rather of pieces of ordnance, immediately under your window.
The lightning which preceded the second peal was so vivid as to
deprive of sight, for a fete moment+, any one who had the temerity
to gaze upon it. It was just as if a glowing sheet of flame bad
been passed before the eye of the beholder.
The whole town was seen as in the blaze of the meridian sun.
The Town of Liverpool steam-packet was on her passage from
Dublin at the moment ; and the Captain describes the lightning
as having been the most awful and terrific he ever beheld. The
thunder immediately broke forth, not with a rumbling noise, as
during ordinary thunder storms, but in one lond,tretnendous clap,
shsking.the very buildings to their foundations, and striking terror
and dismay into all who heard it. The rain, during this time,
descended in torrents. The lightning which succeeded the second
terrific clap, was but weak, compared with the sublime grandeur
of the Sub by which it was preceded. The thunder also became
feeble, and soon muttered and died away in the distance. We
have not learn: that any very serious injury, as respects either
person or property. has been sustained in the town or neighbour.
hood. A respectable man, who lives in a street leading from Sc.
James's-street to Wapping, states that he saw, the instant the
second terrific flash took place, something resembling a ball of fire,
about as large as a foot-ball, come over Sparling-street, in the
direction of his house, which slightly, but perceptibly, vibrated as
the electric Auld paned by, and the bed on which he lay moved as
if violently shaken. The Town Hall is, we believe, the only
building that experienced even a slight injury.

Captain Sir J. PHILLIHORI, C.B. entertained General
Mom sad a large party of distinguished naval characters on Friday
sennight, on board the Term, in the Sound.
About one o'clock yesterday afternoon, a man entered
the house of Mr. Corns, of Bilis•street, Sloane-street, Chelsea,
walked into the back parker, and though a child was in the
room, and gave an alarm, he escaped with a valuable gold watch;
chafe, and seals, and a gold tin.
