MELANCHOLY EVENT ON MALVERN HILL.

Saturday, a party of friends, among whom were the
eldest son and three daughters of J. Hill, Esq. of Lind-
ridge, on the borders a Grieucestershire, and several
other young Ladies who were on a *risk to them, had
agreed to form a gipsey party, to perambulate the
Malvern Hills. They were accompanied by a servant
man, with a light cart furnished with provisions, 4tc.—
About three o'clock they had reached the Worcester-
shire beacon, on which is a building erected by Lady
Harcourt, for the use of .persons walking on the hills,
when a violent storm came on suddenly., and the
young Ladies were very much alarmed at the light-
ning and thunder. The building is of st me, and
the roof covered with iron; there was a stone table in
the middle of the room, and seats on each side, with a
window opposite the door-way.' Miss Eliza Hill, her
sister Johanna, and a Miss Woodward, from Hereford,
were seated at the table; the others walking about.
Miss M rgaret Hill, 15 years of age, was looking:out
at the door-way to see if the storm hal passed, when
she observed the electric fluid (which no doubt 'was at-
tracted by the iron roof) appeared as a mass of fire
rolling along the hill and ripproachirg their retreat, she
attempted so run out, but was instantly thrown with
lence to the ground, her shoes and part of her dress *ere'
much burnt ; her brothtr, who was near, shared much
the same. The electric fluid shivered the stone table to
atoms, and many large stones in the wall, and passed
through the window, removing, the frame and stone
work about it. Two of the young Ladies, Mist Eliza
Hill and Miss Woodward, were in►tantly struck dead.
Miss Johanna appeared in the same state ; medical aid
being procured, she wars bled, and removed to the U.ni-
corn Inn, at Malvern; she has not spoken since, and
there is but little chance of her tecovery. 'The three
were all burnt on the face, neck; and breast; ther hair
burnt off one side of the head, and part of their clothes
destroyed. All the other Ladies were in a slight degree
injured by the electrii fluid.

PORTHeR PARTICULARS.
At this awful period of the calamity the rain de-
scended in torrents, and the peals of thunder were tre.
mendous beyond description. Cattle of every kind were
terrified, and fled everywhere for shelter..: Previoui to
the tempest, the above party were all seated upon the
ground partaking of refreshment, and nothing appeared
wanting to .consummate 'their happiness. Mr. John
Chapman, of London, who was upon the Hill at the
time, was an eke witne.s to this portion of the melan.
choly tale, and observed• the young ladies as they re-
treated towards the building which has proved so fatal
to them.
