STOILIf:

A fortnight ago, during a thunder form, a' whirt.!
wind paITA down Allendale, in Ncrthumberland,l
which terrified the inhabitants by the noife it made,
referohling the rattling of a carriage aver the low
wails. It fortunately miffed the dwelling ironies, but
took up a pike of hay at Canon, which it carried
down the vale two miles, and there tlepofited it,
without much fcattering. The atmofphere was pre-
vioully quite calm.
Sunday, a heavy form of wind, in the nature of a
hurricane, fell over the metropolis, which fhifting al.
molt momentarily from one point to the cppofite
one, it became almolt impoffible to efcape from the
clouds of dolt which were railed by it. On the river,
which at an early hour was covered with boats filled
with Ladies and Gentlemen, the agitation of thefeas
and wave:, as they called it, was Inch that each party
loon found it convenient to effect a landing at the
firft port, moaly well fplafhed. A fouth weft guff
came with fuch violence, that it proftrated two
large trees in Kenfington Gardens, and tore off the
boughs of feveral near Chelfea Hofpital. The whirl.
winds were particularly clearance to the London
firub:eriet ; the garden pots of the firft and fecond
floor windows, in which the good Citizens rear their
15.12:tatiorrs, were driven away like chaff ;—a great
many accidents occurred in confequence :—At Char.
' ing Crofs, an old woman received a fevere contufion
on the head, and two children were wounded in their
fhoulders. Numberlefs eircumitances of a fimilar
nature happened, which a very little attention might
prevent ; but what are Inch trifles compared to the
improvement of horticulture ? or what is the lots of
an old woman compared to a crop offiarld Gears ?

FlRES.—Abrmt two o'clock, in the m'rning of
Tuefday fe'nnight, a fire broke nut in the thread
manufaaory of Meffrs. Titley and Co. at Hunflet,
near Leeds, occationed by the friaion patt of the
machinery, which totally dearoyed the mill, with
its contents, in about two hours. .

Thutfdai morning a fire brt:ke out in the dwell
ing houfe of Mr. Green, at Hatherdean, in the parifh
of Ar.d6ver, which was fuon confumco, together
with the houlehold furniture.

A fire ball lately fltuck a large tree, containing
three loads of timber, at Edmonthorpe, in Leicefier-
fhire, which it drove in all direaions. To a part of
the trunk, which was left (landing, the fire commu•
nicated, and burnt fo rapidly that it wa, exrit,guiffied
with extreme difficulty by the application of feveral
Ijuckets of water.
A dreadful accident befel a young man, of the
name of Bremmen, the fon of a faEtor f.n ihe Hamp
(lead Road, on Tuefday lag. He ha.i gone on a
(hooting parry to the neighbourhood of Colnbrook,
and having fatigued hiraclf with the toils of the day,
he was fittinz under a hedge, taking refreiument,
When the piece, the muzzle of which was pointed to.
wards him, went off at the half cock, and he was fh,,t
dead. **The deceafed was a pramifing young man,
under 20.

An accident of a fingular nature took plsce abort
a week ago, beween the City and the Cove of Cork.
As Mr. Jeremiah Murphy, a merchant of that city,
was driving in a poll chaife, together w7lll a Lady
and a child, near the (mall village call.:(1 Pafrage; the
horfes fueldenly took fright and ran towards the eiiiT
near Giant's Stairs. The pott boy fried hinifelf by
throwing himfelf fuddenly on the ground. At that
intiant the horfes and the chaifc, together with the
company in it, were precipitated to a depth of 2t
hat two hundred feet perpendicular, to the bed of the
river. It hacpened to be low water, and the car-
riage, by fiiiking in its fall again!' the malt of a
veifel, which was then aground chic in fhore,
was (lathed to pieces. It is molt furprifnig to relate,
that atter this fevere Block the Lady and Gentleman
cicapcd with only a flight perfonal injury, and the
child entirely unhurt.
A gi►l, aged 14, has had, for the feven pre-
ceding years of her life, fcrophulous ulcers on her
arms, neck, fide, and ble,lls, attended with great
difcharge, particularly at the periods of Sprir,g.—
The difeafe balled every means employed, when fhe
tried SPILSBURY'S Patent Antifcorbutic Drops, and
at this time fhe has taken five battles ; the fmaller
ulcers are all healed, and the larger ones making fair
advances to the fame favourable termination, which
we are jullified in concluding from her mended Rate
of health, probably atifing from the good health of
the fecreting glands. Mrs. Dancer, York, will give
further information on application ; and the original
letters may be leen at the Difpenfary, No. tg, Soho
Square, Lnndon.—Mr. SP►LSBURY is not accounta-
