FURTHER PARTIVILARS.

On Friday morning, a boat belonging to the Sheer.
nett tender, now lying in the Humber, was fent from
that rebel to Sunk 'nand, with a party of (even
hands, o bring on board Lieutenant and Mrs. Fox,
who had been upon a vifit at that place. Between
nine and ten o'clock they were ready to retnrn and
had proceeded hut a very than diflance from the
More, when William Mazer*llo, one of the boat's
crew, who was Handing ere& to trim the fails, was
inftantaneoufly itrock dead by a flails of lightning,
and fell overboard into the river. Mr. and Mrs. Fox
were much attuned by the fame caufe ; and the ref
of the crew, with the exception of one young man,
were all !track down into the bottom of the boat, but
fortunately felon recovered. The body of Mazarello
was from afterward., picked up ; his bat, handker-
chief, trowfers, dra‘sers, and flocking', were burnt to
rags ; and the eutfide cafe of his Myer watch was
found to have been melted. The parents of the above
unfortunate young man refide in George yard, tvhi-
ther the body was brought on Friday afternoon, and
was interred at Drypool on Monday, attended by the
Sheernefs tender's officers and crew. He was about
nineteen years of age.
William Curtis, labourer, rf Patrington, was on
Saturday found dead in a field near that town, hay.
ing, it is fuoded, experienced the fatal effeAs al
lightning on the preceding day ; the hoe with which
he was at work, is fuppuled to have operated as a
condniter.
In Moreton church yard, near Exeter, the earth
was torn from feveral graves, and human fruits
thrown to a confider able diftance ; and. near Bow,
about fifty trees were cut in two, as if done with a law.
The report of the thunder was like that of artillery,
fired in regular lucceffion.
About two o'clock on Friday laft, the inhabitants
of Ipfwich were much alarmed, as the crafhes of
thunder fitoch many honks in the town ; and at the
Hill Barrack, it was fill more awful, as the eleStic
fluid communicated with a range of fables, and in.
Randy frock down nine horfes, two of which were
(could killed, one belonging to Captain Mills, of the
Well Suffolk, and the other to the bread contra/tor.
The (tables were let on fire, but (non eatinguiffied.—
One man was Bruck down, but very little hurt ;
another man, who had jai (addled the contrador's
Mae, was gone for the bridle, aid was probably
thus providen.ially relcued from [haring the fate of
the animal. Near twenty 'salons were frock down
by the lightning, in the vicinity of Ipfwich, but none
killed. Some of them are Rill in the hofpital.

Early on Friday morning. one of the moll fevere
forms of :~under and lightning, accomp..nieti with
partial rain, ever witneffed, was experienced at Glou-
teller. It began between twelve and one, and con-
titiotd till about two o'clock in the morning. The
lightning was temarkably vivid, the &likes followed
each other in momentary ruccellon ; and the thunder
was awfully tremendous. We have not heard of any
damage being done by the tempell in that immediate
neigbbmthood ; but its influence Win fevercly felt
in other places. A valuable Imre belonging to Mr.
W. Morton, grazinf in a field near Wore.:!ter, was
Arndt dead by the lightning, and an adjoining tree
was thivered into fplinteir ; a cow was killed in a
field at IVAnbotongh, Wilts; fi•e hotfes were knocked
down by the 'kerne fluid. in a field near Tetfworth.
Oxfordlhire, and two of them killed ; and a borfe
grazing near Shorover•bill, and another working in
a team at Cowles, in the fame connty, were alto
killed. The form fccms to hate travelled flowly in
an canto-1y direltion from thence ; its influence was
felt in Ostaidlloire limit hours later than its violence
there. and from nine till twelve o'clock on the fame
1110, nins.

Monday ascraingsboot five o'clock. the fnuf air of
a 4,w1 pit at Da near Hamilton. became inflam-
mable, and trent off withitieh violence as to cattle part
of t'.o tool of the pit in fall, by which throe men were
killed ; they have all left numerous families. A lad-
der was throws marly a mile from the awed' of
the pit.
