STORNl.—Southend, in Essex, and the neighbour-
hood for several miles round, were on Sunday mor-
ning visited by a very severe storm of thunder and
lightning, accompanied by a shower of hail-stones (,f
uncommon size. The thunder was extremely loud
and. the lightning extremely vivid. The spire of
Rayleigh Church was struck by the electric fluid, and
the lead with which it was covered completely stript
off, the rafters bring left bare. This happened just
as the ccngregation were assembling, and occasioned
considerable alarm. The lightning also found its
way doWn the chimney of a cottage near the spot,
melted an iron pot which was suspended over the fire,
struck down an elderly woman who was in the cot-
tage, burnt her clothes in several places, and very
much scorched one of her arms. Considerable da-
mage was dine by the hail in the gardens and fields
where it fell heaviest.

Sunday morning last, a publican residing. at Cha-
tham, accompanied by three of his ions, and another
youth, went in a sailing-boat on a party of pleasure,
when a storm coming on, the boat was kipset, by
which thcfatber and his sons were drowned. The
other lad' was Aaveil by a boat that came up at the
time.

Last week a girl, 14 years of age, residing at Brix-
ham town, Torbay, baying expressed to her mother
her extreme desire to partake of a fish called a Bur-
net, one was procured for her ; of which she partook
with such voracity that she swallowed a bone, which
was fixed so firmly in her throat, that all the attempts
of a surgeon to remove it proved abortive, and a mor-
tification ensued terminating in death.

Monday se'nnight a hard-fought baffle, which
lasted an hour aid eleven minutes, took place at Hor-
ton, near Otmoor, in Oxfordshire, between William
Bateman, of Blackthorn, and George Peisley, wheel-
wright, of Horton, which was won by the former.
The winner was dreadfully beat about the head ; and
Utley was copied out of the ring senseless. •


LI7ERATUI2E.

It. is delightful at all times to witness the successful
efforts of geniu, but when they flow from id:female
Author, there is a chivalrous spirit excited in every
elegant and well formed mind, which gives a double
glow ofanimation to the language of praise. Miss
HuTcifiosoig, the elegant and accomplished Author
of the " Exhibitions of the Heart," has followed
up her well earned tame for that production, by gra-
tifying the public with a second and not less striking
proof of her chaste and highly cultivated talents.—
In " Friends unmasied ; or, Scenes in real Life," her
readers will find an interest excited and kept alive
through the wh,:le of the work, which arrests their
keenest attention, while the delicacy of sentiment and
elegance of diction which adorn every page, cannot
fail to improve the heart and judgment, and currect
the taste of every age rnd sex. The metal principles
which the fair author inculcates, unlike the romantic
and flimsy vehicles too often resorted to by modern
novel writers, to convey the most poisonous doc-
trines, are of the purest and most practical kind.—
She has also profited by her visits to the Continent to
increase the value of her work by_ a lively description
of Hollanil, and some historical Anecdotes of recent
events in that century, which add greatly to the ge.
neral interest. We are happy t 3 add, that so eager
has been the demand for 46 Friends Unmasked," that
a very large edition has been sold within a few days,
and another is now ready for sale.
