A TREMENDOUS THUNDERSTORM visited NCWeI
on -Tyne and its neighbourhood on Monday last

..
caused considerable destruction to property, as well es a
sacrifice of human life. The storm raged for several hours.
Four persons at Gateshead, two at Walker, and two at
Alnwick, fell victims on the occasion.

DEATHS FROM THE INTENSE HEAT IN LONDON.—On
Tuesday, between the hours of eleven and three, the ther-
mometer ranged from 80 degrees to 82 degrees in the
shade, and in the sun it was sometimes upwards of 120
degrees. In New Oxford-street several females fainted,
and were carried into shops for assistance. At the corner
of Tottenham-court-road a respectably dressed man, said
to belong to a firm in the city, was observed to stagger,
and fell heavily. Medical assistance was immediately pro-
cured, but life was extinct. This was evidently a coup de
solgil, and a similar occurrence happened to a female us
the Old-street-road. A youth in the employ of Mr. Sug=
gett, camphine lamp manufacturer, Coldhath-square,
fainted from the excess of heat, and it was some time before
he recovered consciousness.—Globe.

DEATHS FROM SUN STRCKE.—Two deaths occurred
in the neighbourhood of Newport, Monmouthshire, on
Wednesday, from the extreme heat of the sun ; the one
was of a man mowing grass, and the others young female
in the field.
