tation, was lab crowded than on any former day of
the Races.

7'burfday a boy while playing en the ramparts of
the citadel at Plymouth, flipped his foot, and was
precipitated to the ground, at the entrance of the
!gate of the lower fart, by which he was fo much in-
jured as to forvive but a few minutes.
&roans —The following aatements are from a
Leeds Paper of Saturday :—" A molt curious phe-
nomenon decorred on Tue(day laa, in the afternoon,
at the nely'ereaed flax-mills, belonging to Melfrs.
Benyon, Benyon, and Bage, of this town :—Dur-
ing the thunder norm two bodies of fire, one from the
S. E. and another from the N. M. united and fpead
therufelves into a large extended Iheet over the roof
of the mill. The top of the building teemed intirely
covered with fire for tome feconds ; but, we are hap-
py-to Rate, though a great number of perfons were
at work in the different rooms of the mill, not one of
the felt the lull inconvenience or injury. It is pro-
pels- ter obferve,that this elegant mill is built upon a
fite-prnof conflruetion—not any w sod is employed—
and each floor of the numerous rooms is fupported
by brick arches and iron pillars, which pillars corn
municate from top to bottom, and fupport the roof ;
and whether the clearic fluid fell upon the mill by at-
traai, n or accident, the fait is certain, that the nu-
merous. iron points at the top of the building, fop.
porting the roof and conneeting with the ground, by
means of the pillars, mutt have filently concluded the
nhole mafs of cleat ic fluid in fafety to the earth.
On Tnefday la( a molt tremendous form of thun-
der and lightning, accompanied with exceffively
heavy rain, happened at Long Prelton, in Craven. A
fine little boy, about nine years old, was (truck dead
by the lightning,whilft working incompany with other
children in the large cotton-faetory belonging to Mr.
Robert Serjeantfou, at the above place. A large quart.
tity of cotton, which was depofited in a room above,
was fet fire to at the fame time, and, had it not been
for the laudable exertions of the overlooker, who, at
the peril ct his own life, extinguithed the flames, the
whole building mull have been confunied. It is
lomewhat extraordinary, that though feveral children
and one man were dole to the child killed, yet not
tine of them was hurt. The lightning, after having
Faired through the child, took its direction upwards,
I.e:formed the fluor of the fpinning-room above, and
(pent itfelf on a (mall fcrewed nut, in the bottom part
of the machinery. At the fame time, a (mall cock of
bay in a field about a quarter of a mile horn the fac-
t .ry, was fet fire to, and a barn at Nappa, in the pa-
s A of Gaburn, was burnt down.
On Tuelday fennight was experienced one of the
moll awful norms of thunder and lightning, accom-
panied with tbrrebts of rain, ever remembered in the
ateiyAnurhood of Manchefter. At Scholar Green,
Stifftitdflfire, fix
young heifers, out of [even, were
RNA dead by lightning.
