THE WEATHER.

On the Ist of this month a dreadful thunder storm
ravaged Chatelineau, in the province of Haitianit and
the environs. It was accompanied by a tempestuous
wind, with hail-stones, or rather large pieces of ice of
eztraordrnary size, and torrents of rain, which caused
the Sambre to overflow its banks, and inundate the
plain to a great distance, carrying every thing before it:
trees of the largest size were rent by the storm. It is
impossible to estimate the damage don It seems.
that several parts of the district of Charleroi have been
laid waste in the same manner.—P. S. It seems that
3,000 acres of wheat are entirely destroyed in I-I.4'unit,
and large tracks more or less injured.—Frosscis Paper.
A letter from Louvaine gifes various particulars of
the storm which visited that city. S4er al pt nor's have
been Mounded by the hailstones; a great number of
windows were destroyed ; the magnificent hothouses of
the Botanic Garden !lave only those Lo ases rea,aining
which were on the sides not in the directiukof the
wind ; happily the immense number of plants in the
two hothouses suffered no damage ; the destruction of
them would have been irreparable. The whole city wa.
inundated; the gardens are. wholly laid waste; :the
fields of rye are destroyed; the wheat is only laid.
The losses sustained by. thirteen communes of the dis-
trict of Tour nay, in consequence of the storms at the
beginning of this month, have been estimated at 142.162
florins. The commune of Rume alone. has suffered to
the eztent of 41,570 florins, and that a Eirlechio 30,001
'florins. These losses are only in the corn fields. The
meadows being still under **ter, the damage to the
hay cannot be yet ascertained.
.The heat in the United States is very pert. At
Baltimore the thermometer kw to 90, and at Selena to 91, and
Now York $5, on the 4th Jeer.
LIVERPOOL Jute s.

The drought, which had ►een of Inn continuance, has at leng'b
been relieved in this neighbourhood, and the heat, which bad beea
excessive, has been somewhat tempered by a succession of refresh-
ing showers during the last four days. We have also been visited
by the thunder-worm which seems to have taken so extensive a
range, having been felt in almost every county in England and
Wales, In the lowlands of Scotland, and even in France. in many
places *ever'sl persons having lost their lives from the effects of the
lightning; and the most extensive damage having been sustained,
front the destriaction. by hailstones, of tbe glass in cuuservaturiro
aad hothouses, and in many private dwellings.
BRADFORD, JULY 7.

The conflagrations upon the Meer: still continue,—and without
abundant rain they are not likely to be speedily extinguished.
Large tracts of sheep walks have been entirely destroyed, and the
hopes of those sportsmen who proposed to make the West Riding
Moors their field of bate are annihilated. The fires have not only
spread over a wide extent of surface, but burn to a great depth, con-
suming not only the moss, but the peat underneath. In some places,
where they reach a soft substratum, they run to a great length mid r
grand, and break out at the surface at other spots. The flames at I
smoke together, present a most formidable and imposing appearance
from any of the high grounds from which a view of th m can he taken.
As some particular account of the extent of the devastation most be
interesting to our readers, we have taken pains to ascertain the real
state of the conflagradons, and the following is the result ; I lawkes.
worth Moor is entirely destroyed. On Ilkley Moor five hundrrd
acres are burnt. There is no hope of any part of Bingley Moor
being saved. Burley Moor is on fire, and is partly consumed.
Thornton Moor is entirely destroyed, and with it alt the young plan-
tations, which cost upwards of 2,0001. in planting. Oaksworth Moor
is entirely burnt. Ovendon Moor, Hohne Moss. Burnsall Fell,
liebden and Grassington Moors, are on fire, and unless, as we have
already said, incessant and heavy rain should speedily fail, every
one of these must be entirely consumed. We have no doubt that
lightning is the cause of the conflagrations.

The vessels belonging to the Royal Yacht Club begin
to assemble very fast. This distinguished Club appears
to become more and more extensive every year, several
fine yachts having this year been added to it ; and many
of its members have increased the size of their yachts.
SAturday the new and elegant State Barge, built for
the Company of Stationers, was launched at Lambeth.
She had a most superb appearance when afloat. Mr.
Morton, the Company's Barge Master, immediately
took the charge of her, and she was laid along
.side the
City Barge, where many persons were admitted on
board to view the interior. It is said she cost 3,0001.
Thursday night, as Mr. Sharp, chemist, stopped io
his chariot at has door in Bishopsgate-street, five villains
observed a box on the coach, with which they got clear
off. The contents of the box were rnercuiial pills, 10.
aenges, sugar-plums, eft,.. on which the thieves fed so
plentifully, that finding themselves strangely affected,
And apprehending they were all poisoned, they sent a
toy to Mr. Williams, a chemist, with the box, pills, ac.
Mr. Williams being acquainted with the affair by Mr.
Sharp, detained the boy, who impeached his compani•
oas, and constables being obtained, they secured Ale
thieves, who were, from the large doe they had sv al.
lowed, in as wretched a condition as ever were a {ICSt of
p 01504.0 rats; seven Gf them were committed.
