HULL, AUGUST 12.

One of the boats of the New Mancheller Green-
-landman, of this place, having Mack a large whale,
the running out of the line over the fide of the boat,
was by (*mire inattention impeded, in confequence
of which the boat was dragged under water, and
four of the crew drowned. The reft were with dif-
ficulty laved. In a (hurt time the boat, with the
greatefl part of the Lilting tackle, &c. role to the
furface, and were again taken potTellion'of by the
crew. Two of the fulfil-era on this oceaflon, we un-
der ftand, belonged to this p- rt.
Saturday left, the Aimwell, Agar, and the Wil-
liam and Ann, Johnflone, arrived at Whitby from
the Davis'Straits Fifhery, the former with five, and
the latter with fix filh, which are expelled to produce
about fevenry tons of oil each fh!p. On the palTage
home, one t f the crew of the William and Ann,
named Samuel Silcock, who was affilling to furl the
main top gallant fail, had the misfortune to fall from
the yard, and into the water; a diflance of not ids
than 90 feet. The (hip being inflantly hove to,
though going at the rate of fix or (even knots, with
confiderable Ewell at the time, a boat wag difpatch•
ed, and found him floating upon the Inane of the
water without the lealt appearance of life. On his
, being conveyed into the {hip, Captain Jolmaone,
who the moment the accident happened had ordered
hot water to be prepared, applied bottles filled with
it to the toles of his feet, and proceeded to ufe the
weans recommended by the Humane Society, by a
. perfevetance in which the man began to exhibit f ,me
appearance of returning animation ; and at length
• recovered his feel..., and shortly afterwards the ufe
"of his limbs. It appears that in falling he had
pitched with •his head into the water, his face and
eyes being prodigionfly (welled and difeolaured. He
(aid be retained hisfenfes up to the moment of his
immet firn, but could recollect nothing afterwards.
Saturday fe'nnight, a young man of the name of
Spence, was (hot dead, at Hutton Bufhel, near Scar-
brout,h, by his companion, who was infiruding him
in the ufe ot. arms.• It appears that the father of
Spezee had loaded the gun in the morning, for the
pole of (booting birds, and not having difcharged
, the piece went off when they came to the order
••airo,'t and lodged its contents in the body of his
..,oil•rtunate fou, who died alma Windy.

IatIGHTON, AUGUST as.

The heat of the weather prevented the dezamta here
from being feen abteitryefterilay, intil towards the
evening. About $* o'clock, from the previous ccin-
6nements fobmitted en, ithe Steyne difplayed mire
than its wonted number of pedeftrians, and which
were momentarily increafing. About this time,fonte
heavy opaque cloud% to the South began to exhibit
fymptoms of an approaching tempeß, but no one fuf. 1
petted that the florm would come on in a very fud-
den Wanner. About (even o'clock, however, fuch a
blaze of lightning was emitted from the clouds as we
never before beheld. The Steyne, for the infant, was
completely covered with the -flaming fluid. The
ladies in the highell degree were alarmed, many
(creaming loudly, and all, ladies and gentlemen,
made rapidly for the Libraries, both of which were
prefently fo crowded, that they could contain no
more. Thole that were In fortunate as to get into
the Libraries, remained there, while thofe without
were feen hurrying in all directions for their refpec.
tive refidences. The fitft craft of thunder (hook
every houfe in the place to its bale. In about an hour
however, the form paired off, and a fineevening foe-
ceeded, but fcarcely any company was afterwards to
be found on the walk.

On Thurfday the t3th itillant, about three o'clock
P. M. there was one of the molt violent thunder
florins at Rothfay ever witneffed in the reelllt&ion
of any pert 3:1: the rain poured down in torrents,
accompanied by frequent lialhes of lightning, and
Laud peals of thunder, one of Which broke with a
tremendous crafh on a bottle above the Crofs, and
rent the door poll, and broke fume Rates on the roof:
one woman was llruck motirmlefs, and feveral peo-
ple felt feverely the eleOric (hock, and the town bell,
for a few feconds, was fet a ringing. The woman
has recovered, and though many people were greatly
alarmed, no farther injury has been fuflained. The
[bower mull have been in a great meafure local, as
there ww•as not a drop of rain at the time three miles
to the weftward.

On Wednefilay fe'nnight, a tremendous whirlwind
took place at the high end of Chalk Qmarries, near
Cardew, Cumberland. Its violence was fuch as ac-
tually to caufe the trees in the adjacent fields to bend
in filch a manner, that their tops alma t•tiched the
ground ; and by the rapidity of its vertical motion,
the honks at Cardew appeared to be involved io
flames ! The thatch was torn off, and carried to the
ditlance of nearly half a mile. The people who were
at work in the fields, were obliged to throw themfelves
upon the ground, and held themfelves by ()nubs, &c.
and the whole neighbourhood was alarmed by the
whirlwind's tremendous roaring.
, Tuefday afternoon, between four and five o'clock,
there was a violent (torn; of thunder and lightning in
the city of Glafgow, accompanied with an ertraor-
dnayf 11 of rain and hail. The oldeft inhabitant
does not recoiled ever having teen fuch large and
fetid hai!ftoaes—a vaft proportion of thole which
were regular, meafured two inches in circumference;
great numbers of pieces of ice of about two inches
long, an inch broad, and fully half an inch thick,
were found ; in the centre of the mats, a regular
formed haillinne was generally very obvious ; and
one piece fell into a court near the foot of Duke-
fired, which meafured five inches by four in circum-
ter ence. The lightning was peculiarly vivid, while the
rain was pouriuolown in rapid lireams. The fewers
were unable to carry away the fidden inundation,
which, in many places, extended from the fides to
the centre of the (beets, forming one theet of water, ;
and in tome of the funk (hops and cellars, in the
eonrfe of ten minutes after it began, the water was
feveral feet deep. Innumerable panes of glafs were
broken over all the city and immediate neighbour-
hood, and the cupolas and skylights were in general
drove in or much damaged; a confiderable contufion
was produced by one of the hailftones on the head of
a boy, who had gone nut without his hat. This
norm was felt but a little diflance from the city ; and
we have not heard a any ferious accident having
happened. The thunder broke near Partick, and
knocked down part of a gateway.
SINGULAR PH Errostraorr.—On Thurfday the t3th
inflant, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a violent
whirlwind mired the pari(h of Mid Calder, Scot-
land, in a dire& line from !birth to north, a little to
the wefiward of that village. In its progrefs it ex-
hibited a grand but very alarming appearance.—
Two clouds, one from the north, the other from the
tooth, came in eontair, near the farm of Contentibus,
where the whirlwind began. For tome time they
teemed to contend with each other, and then agumed
the form of a whitifh pillar, which appeared to ope-
rate like a fyringe, at one time forcing down with
great violence every thing before it, and at another
drawing up into the air every thing within its reach.
As it moved along it unroofed a confiderable part
of tome houfes belonging to that farm, lifted a cart
with its wheels about fifteen paces, till it was ent ang•
led in a hedge, and drew the water out of a rivulet
in Calder Wood to an immenfe height in the air.—
When crafting the extremity of this wood the firti
blall teemed to level the trees with the ground. In
a moment, however, they were railed again, and the
branches were fees flying about in every diredion.—
Its traces on the ground were very vifible wherever
it paged ; it teemed to have been between 6o and
roo yards in breadth, and the whole of its courie near
the wood was firmed with broken branches. In
cronig the Weft Calder road, about half a mile from
Mid Calder, one tree was torn up by the roots, and
the tops of many were broken down. Two of them
elpeeially were broken off about eight feet from the
ground, and tome of the limbs, a foot in diameter,
were carried, with all their branches, to a confider-
able dißance. The noire- that accompanied this
whirlwind was very loud, and greatly alarmed not
only the labourers in the fields, who witneffed its
vifible effects, but likewile thole in the houfes near
which it paired. So terrible was its appearance that
ti e-,vorkmen ran in all diredions to flicker thcmfelves
from its vengeance, and every moment expaleddeat h.

Yellerday ,Vanford, a foldier in the London
Militia, was fully committed from Hatton Garden
Office, for (leafing feveral pewter diflief, belonging
to Mr. bl'lntolh, of the Crown public hode, in
Chriglophces.alley, Moorfields.—As was 7 hamar
Wailer, for ilealing a quantity of lead from the roof
of Finch ley Chord).
