A very vi I nt Ilorm of thunder and lightning, ac
companies' w;tii heavy rain, and hailfiones of are
malleably large fine, took place on Thurfday night
IA in leveral parts of the county of Montgomery.—
A barn belonging to Mts. SWAIN, of Pennygaer, in
tho parith of Beitws, was let on fire by the lightning,
which dcllrnyed that and another limn adjoining, a
waggon, from 40 to so buthels of wheat, five wag-
gon loads of hay, all the poukry, and a dog.
A more awful and tremendous form of thunder
and lightning was never experienced in the memory
of the ()Melt perfon living, than 'that which occurred
on Thuriday te'nnight in Mancheflee and ittChelhire:
and the damage futlained is altuof incredible. The
thunder was ineceeded by immenfe torrents of rain
and hail. Not far from Warrington, on the Chelkire
tide, a bolt fell, which did great injury, and by
which one perfon in particular fuffeted feverely in
his property. At Baton and its vicinity the people
experienced a moll dreadful tornado, and it is flip.
poled that a watcr.fpnut mull have built in that
neighbourhood, the liver Irwell having fuelled to
fo great a height as to fweep away many buildings,
and large quantities of houfehold tut nit tires ace- The
duration of the form was upwards of two hours.—
At Houlton Park a ball afire fell with fuch force as
to fplit in thivers and tear tip an afh tree, which had
long heen admired for its Ilrength and beauty. Se-
vend bridges have been thrown down.
The form on Friday afternoon was attended with
more awful circumllances in the neighbourhood of
Bath, than ever accompanied any elementary con
vullion of the fame nature within the memory of the
oldelt inhabitants. Tropical deluges may equal, per-
haps, the violence of the rain, but in continuance it
exceeded the cullomary duration of tempells in the
neighbourhood of the line. Unprecedented examples
of devallation appeared when the torrents ce 'fed to
fall: roads torn up, gardens dellroyed, and confider
able portions of land removed from their fituation.
Among thefe phenomena may he reckoned a waft
body of earth from the fummit and declivity of
Beechen-cliff, which fell " with hideous ruin and
combullims" (for it is doubtful whether it was occa-
fioned by the thirst, of the elcarical fluid or water),
loaded with buttes and trees, into the field below ;
the diflocation of almoll half an acre into a field be-
longing to the Rev. W. Wean ea, at Hanging land,
and a flip of nearly the fame magnitude, in a field
on the Prior park Aide. We hear of only one life

dener of Mr. Lai/Gaon, at Newton, who was drowned
in attempting to croft at the bottom of Pennyquick.

Combhay.
