Mr. CARR'S &rover in /reload has made its appear-
ance, and a night infpalinn of it enables us to fay
that it fuccefsfully rivals his Northern Sommer in ele-

ra intetat.

We mentioned, briefly, the violent thunder dorm
in the metropolis and its vicinity )eflerclej morning.
The loudeft clap, and a very tremendous one it was,
took place abot tea o'clock. This tl under clap, with
the lightning which ucornpanied it, produced various
eines at different places.
In Hampton-ftreet, Walworth, a ball of ekerical
fire, or, as it is commonly denominated, a thunder-
bolt, fell upon the roof of a hoole, and made a pal-
, Page completely through it into a back kitchen :--,t
broke all the windows of the houfe. A boy wars
knocked down by the (hock, and remained Come time
infenfible , and a gardener's wife, An elderly woman,
was deprived of her fight for teveral minutes. Mr.
' SMITH, a Q.Liaker, in the fame neighbourhood,
was feeding pigeons in a loft, when the lightning
(truck his hand and deprived him of the ufe of his
thumb. In different parts of the town the thunder.
claps produced much terror and alarm, and in fume
places were attended with unpleafant confequencer.
One of the balls fell into the area of the State Lot-
tery Office, in Somerfeoplece' and the (hock it occa.
finned was fo violent, that it forced open the door,
and drove Mr. Plesacs, the Secretary, who was
(landing at the window of his Office with another
• perfon, to the contrary fide of the (Mice. They re-
mained fertklefs for a few minutes, hut recovered
without any material injury. Another ball fell in the
Thames, uppofite Arundel•fkreet. In Ead-flrect.

fling tore up a great part of the pavement ; it then
communicated with the wire of the bell belonging to
No. 44, which it fhivered to pieces, as well as the
front door ; it then forced through a brick well into
the paffage of the fame houfe, from whence it paled
up the flair;, and let fire to a back room on the fe-
cond floor, when it made its way through the top of
the houfe by a trap door. There were at the time a
dozen people in the houfe, who lottunately efcaped
unEntt. The firs in the fccond floor wai loon et in.

At Hendon, fevers! hooks were fh tken in ftreh a
canner, that the inhabitants left them s and it was
generally remarked there, that an uncommon fut.
