GAZETTZ EXTBAORDIVART!....The Gazette of last
night presents a great curiosity, and should have been
published as an Extraordinary Gazette, as it does not
contain the nano of a single new Bankrupt, in either
town or country.
Monday, the attention of a considerable crowd of
persons was attracted, in consequence of the suspen-
sion of a man in a basket, on the dome of St. Paul's,
who was employed laying some sheet copper thereon.
In this perilous situation, he performed his task with
the utmost coolness.

The iron trade in the counties of Salop and Staf-
ford are in the fullest state of activity; the prices are
low, but the demand for the article exceeds the sup-
ply ; and almost every one that can handle a hammer
is employed in the nail trade; the population are con-
tented and happy.
The storm on Tuesday last raged with great vio-
lence in Sussex. At Hertsmoncaux two fine oxen
were struck dead by the lightning, whilst grazing in
a meadow. The subtle fluid also descended on a
house in the street, where a school was kept, and set
fire to its thatched roof; the inmates (chiefly chil-
dren) quitted it in the utmost tenor, running in every
direction crying for their parents. Assistance being
promptly given, the fire was extinguished
i without
materially injuring the building. oats were
also set fire to by the lightning at Northiam, but the
flame was extinguished before it had time to spread.
Several sheer in Romney Marsh were also struck
dead by the lightning, which was extremely vivid at
Old and New Romney.
As the shooting season has commenced, we hope to
hear nothing further, for some time at least, of the
unsportsmanlike feats of pigeon shooters.
