THE TORNADO AT NATCHEZ

The editor of the Louisville Journal has conversed with an
observant and scientific citizen of Natchez, who was an eye-
witness to the late desolating tempeSt. He communicated
some interesting facts, greatly caculated to confirm the
theory of Dr. Espy. His house was much injured, but he
attributes its comparative safety to the fact that its windows
and doors were by accident left open. The gardener of a
neighbour saw the storm approaching, and succeeded in
closing the windows and doors of the house, when the build-
ing fell and crushed him under the ruins.
" Dr. Tooley, another neighbour, and a man of science,
with a just conception of the action of the tempest, threw
open all the windows and doors of his house, not already
open when the storm commenced, and although the structure
of it was frail, it sustained no injury ; not even a pane of
glass was broken. It
.was saved by the free outlet given to
the air in the rooms seeking to restore the balance in the
atmosphere. Houses; that were made as air-tight as the
closing of doors and windows could render them, were in the
condition of the sealed bottle under the exhausted receiver of
an air-pump; the pent-up air of which shivers it into a thou-
sand fragments. The destruction of houses was entirely owing
to the sudden expansion of the air within, said to be equal to
the explosion of gunpowder.- They were exploded—the roofs
shot up into the air, and bricks in the walls were projected
with great violence in all directions around. In many cases
the upper rooms, or garrets, which were more confined; alone
exploded, the other apartments escaping in consequence of
the exit afforded to the air by doors and windows. Our in-
formant represents itoas having been the work of an instant.
The wind did not seem to him to blow harder than it did in
this city lastlitaturday evening. It appeared that the com-
mon air was suddenly and strangely rarified—as if its pres-
sure had been at once annihilated—and, in this state, the at-
mosphere confined in the house rushing out into the void
threw down every wall not sof remarkable strength, or having
large outlets by which it4might escape. He walked forth a
moment after his own house felt the concussion, and beheld
on all sides houses prostrate, and his neighbours crawling forth
from under their ruins. He confirms the statement already
given, that a marvellously small number of persons perished,
considering how many. houses full of inhabitants were demo-
lished in a single moment of time."

CONSERVATIVES, OBSERVE!

All notices of claims to be inserted on the list of voters
for the county must be given to the overseers of the
township in which the property is situate on or before
the 20th instant, otherwise the claimant will lose his

right for the ensuing year.
One shilling must be paid to the overseers with each
claim, as a registration fee, or the claim will be of no

service.

Voters who were on the list last year are not required to
make a fresh claim, if they possess the same qualifi-
cation, and reside in the same place, as they did when
the last registry was made; but if they have changed
their place of residence, or any change has taken place
in the nature of the qualification, it will be neces-
sary for them to send in fresh claims, and to pay the
registration fee in the same manner as though they
had never been registered.

Persons claiming to vote for boroughs must pay all the
poor rates and assessed taxes which were due on the
6th of April last, on or before the 20th of July,
otherwise they will be disqualified for voting in the
ensuing year. They need not send in any claim, as
the overseers are bound to place upon the list all £lO
householders who have paid their rates in due time.

IMPORTANT TO FREEMEN.

Those Freemen who are entitled to their Freedom
must be Sworn in and Enrolled on or before the 31st
instant, otherwise they may not be enabled to yet upon

the Register this Year

IMPORTANT TO MUNICIPAL VOTERS.

To secure a vote at the next municipal election, the
following is the necessary qualification, namely :
" The occupation on the ensuing 31st August, and
during the two preceding years, of a house, warehouse,
counting-house, or shop, within the borough, for which
the occupier is rated, and on which all rates due thereon,
except those becoming due within six months before the
31st, have been paid before that date."

The occupier must also, during the whole of that pe-
riod, (say two years and nine months,) have been an in-
habitant householder within seven miles of the borough.
The day on which claimants' qualifications must be
completed, and the last day for payment of rates, is the
31st of August. The sth of September is the day on
which the overseers are required to make out the burgess
lists, and to deliver them to the Town-clerk, who is to
fax a copy of them on the Town-hall, during the week
preceding the 15th of September.
A person succeeding to the occupation of a house,
by descent, marriage, demise, ccj-c., is entitled to reckon
as his own the occupancy and rating of the person by or
through whom he succeeds.

THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
txutility: been duly appreciated at

CHICHESTER: AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the cd•poration
of that ancient borough evinced their good tasteind marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR
is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
Lon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
Pragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while

is au old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is tlie best judge this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

in the preceding lectures in ascertaining the cause of storms,
and said, if he had proved that air went up in currents

take place. A great many storms had been investigated since

THE TORNADO AT NATCHEZ

The editor of the Louisville Journal has conversed with an
observant and scientific citizen of Natchez, who was an eye-
witness to the late desolating tempest. He communicated
some interesting facts, greatly caculated to confirm the
theory of Dr. Espy. His house was much injured, but he
attributes its comparative safety to the fact that its windows
and doors were by accident left open. The gardener of a
neighbour saw the storm approaching, and succeeded in
closing the windows and doors of the house, when the build-
ing fell and crushed him under the ruins.
" Dr. Tooley, another neighbour, and a man of science,
with a just conception of the action of the tempest, threw
open all the windows and doors of his house, not already
open when the storm commenced, and although the structure
of it was frail, it sustained no injury ; not even a pane of
glass was broken. It was saved by the free outlet given to
the air in the rooms seeking to restore the balance in the
atmosphere. Houses, that were made as air-tight as the
closing of doors and windows could render them, were in the.
condition of the sealed bottle under the exhausted receiver of
an air-pump ; the pent-up air of which shivers it into a thou-
sand fragments. The destruction of houses was entirely owing
to the sudden expansion of the air within, said to be equal to
the explosion of gunpowder. They were exploded—the roofs
shot up into the air, and bricks in the walls were projected
with great violence in all directions around. In many cases
the upper rooms, or garrets, which were more confined, alone
exploded, the other apartments escaping in consequence of
the exit afforded to the air by doors and windows. Our in-
formant represents it as having been the work of an instant.
The wind did not seem to him to blow harder than it did in
this city last Saturday evening. It appeared that the com-
mon air was suddenly and strangely rarified—as if its pres-
sure had been at once annihilated—and,. in this state, the at-
mosphere confined in the house rushing out into the void
threw down every wall not of remarkable strength, or having
large outlets by which it might escape. He walked forth a
moment after his own house felt the concussion, and beheld
on all sides houses prostrate, and his neighbours crawling forth
from under their ruins: He confirms the statement already
given, that a marvellouslv_stnall-nui4er af versions peri,hcd,
considering how many houses full of inhabitants were demo-
lished in a single moment of time."
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-07-17

After spending as many days as we thought proper, and
seeing all and everything of importance, conversing on every
occasion with the labourers, not only in their cottages, but in
the field and buildings where they manufacture the sugar, all
of whom expressed their entire satisfaction with their situa-
tion, and would be glad to receive any number to help them
in the field or works. After being absent from town ten days,
we returned in the steam-boat to Georgetown'; on the wharf
we met a Mr. Moses Benjamin, the American consul, who
gave us a pressing invitation to stop at his dwelling, which
was near by and make it our home, at that or any other time
while we remained in the colony : for this. as well as many
other acts of kindness, he has our gratitude and best wishes.
On the next morning, at half-past 9 o'clock, we again started
on board the same steamer for New Amsterdam, in Berbice.
On board, we found several gentlemen to whom we had been
introduced before ; also, our friend, Mr. M. Benjamin, who
was going on business. He paid us every attention, and in-
troduced us to Mr. D. C. Cameron, a merchant of Berbice,
who proffered his house as a home as long as we might choose
to remain in the colony. On the next morning (our arrival
being noticed in the papers) we were waited upon by many
proprietors, as well as others, all soliciting and seeming anxi-
ous for us to pay a visit to their district first, and furnishing
conveyances in abundance.

February 12.—1 t being a rainy morning, we could not fulfil
our engagement to breakfast. After 12 o'clock it cleared,
and we walked out to " Rve-head " coffee estate; proprietor,
Mr. Welshman—returned by the way of the garrison, and
arrived in time for dinner.

13th.—After a rainy morning, and through the politeness
of Mr. Cameron, we visited several plantations and returned
to town the same day.

14th.—By arrangiinent, we started at an early hour in the
morning up the east side of the Berbice river, in company
with Mr. Laing and Mr. Newlands ; after a ride of about ten
miles, we stopped at plantation " Buse's Lust," where we
breakfasted with the gentlemanly manager, Mr. Hicks. From
here we went further up the river to " Highbury," in a boat
belonging to the sheriff, by invitation from him, to see the
Hill-Coolies, natives of the East Indies, who are a hardy race,
but yet in a state of ignorance, as they cannot be prevailed
upon to quit their idols. At 4 o'clock, we embarked to return
to " Buse's Lust ; " in a short time we started for town,
and arrived in time for dinner. We stopped with Mr. New-
lands, dined, and spent an agreeable evening with him and his
interesting family ; at I 1 o clock returned to Mr. Cameron's,
which was close at band. _

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY

Lord MELBOURNE, in answer to a question from Lord
Lyndhurst, stated that an arrangement had been concluded
with the Neapolitan Government, in consequence of which
the monopoly of sulphur would in future be discontinued,
and compensation granted to all British subjects interested
as soon as the amount of their claims could be ascertained.
MESSAGE FROM THE CROWN.—THE REGENCY.

Viscount MELBOURNE said he had a Message from the
Crown to communicate. The noble viscount then handed.
the Message to the Lord Chancellor ; it was to the following
effect :
" VICTORIA R.

" The uncertainty of human life, and a deep sense of my
duty to my people, render it incumbent upon me to recom-
mend to your consideration the contingency which may here-
after take place, and to make such provision as may in any
event secure the exercise of the Royal authority.

" I shall be prepared to concur with you in such measures
as may appear best calculated to maintain unimpaired the
peace and dignity of the Crown, thereby to strengthen the
securities that protect the rights and liberties of my people."
On the motion of Viscount MELBOURNE, the Ipessage was
ordered to be taken into consideration to-morrow.

A short conversation then ensued upon the bringing up of
the report on the Administration of Justice Bill, and the
house then passed to the order of the day for the third read-

TALACRE STONE.
I have the pleasure to offer to your notice a Stone Quarry
in North 'Wales, whose produce is now importing into Lon-
don, two cargoes having already arrived ; and, unless I am
-Ix mistaken, the introduction of this stone to the British
will prove a valuable boon. The quarries are situ-
-.st of Flintshire, within a mile of the Point of
at the mouth of the estuary of the Dee, and adjoining
rounds of Talacre Hall, the scat of Sir Edward Mostyn,

i the a

The tnineralogicalcharacter of this stone is that of silicious
sand stone, with an argillo-silicious cement. It is of great
density, a cubic foot weighing 15-141bs.,—is worked with
great ease, and, being remarkably free from hard untractable
veins and soft places, is capable of a very smooth surface, a
fine arris, and the most delicate carving. The closeness of
its texture and the fineness of its grain render it very desir-
able for external work in a large city, as it prevents the soot
from adhering to it, and thus clogging up the mouldings and
carvings, reducing them to an undistingttifibable mass of
of blackness—a fault justly complained of in the Bath and
Portland stones.

lings and steps, the Talacre Stone far excels the
kinds of Yorkshire stone, as it is superior in
snd not liable to scale in the unsightly manner that
fitly destroys the appearance of the the finest pave-
shire stone, as may be seen near the post-office
sple ; and as the Quarries are now in the pos.

FOOLISH DISSATISFACTION

A bald-headed oid man, on whose head, if properly ex-
amined, there must undoubtedly have been found the bump
of stupidity in very marked development, was placed before
Mr. Rushton, charged with having been drunk and unruly
at the gate of the Prince's-dock. The officer stated, in ag-
' I thrust him out once, and bid him begone, but
the man wasn't satisfied with that, and came back and col-
lared me." The foolish old fellow was ordered to pay 2s
6d and costs, for having exhibited such stupid dissatisfaction
,t the kind-treatment he bad received.

SEVERE CHASTISEMENT OF A BOY.
On Tuesday, Mr. Dodd, solicitor, solicited Mr. Rushton
for a summons against John Hughes, the foreman of Mr.
Braithwaite's_ pipe manufactory, for having chastised a lad
named Kelly with extreme severity. Mr. Dodd said that a
case of greater brutality had never come under his notice. The
summons was granted, and to-day the parties presented them-
selves in court before Messrs. Rushton and D. Hodgson. Mr.
Holt appeared for the defendant.

Kelly, who is about twelve years of age, stated that he
happened to go to his work a little late on Friday morning,
when Hughes beat him for the space of about half an hour,
LI I VI .....

until nis body was black all over. The certificate of a stir:
geon was put in, stating that the marks on the body of the
child had been produced by a degree of violence which ought
not to be exercised towards a young person. The lad was
requested to show his arms and back ; he did so, and the
livid marks still remaining confirmed the whole charge.
Mr. Holt called the father of Kelly, and questioned him as
to whether he had not authorised the foreman to beat the
boy. The man replied, " I might have told him to chastise
the lad if he didn't attend to his work ; but I never told him
to slaughter him."

Mr. IRushton.—He has been shockingly abused, as I have
no doubt boys very frequently are ; but it is fortunate for this
one that he has a father with spirit enough to bring the case
here.
Mr. Holt.—They did not bring it here until they failed in
_ _

:e acknowledges

that the boy ha's been overbeaten.

Mr. Rushton, after consulting with his brother magistrate,
"We had some doubt whether we ought not in this
case to go to the extent of the law. All poor men who have
lads of tender years, whom they are obliged to send out to
work, are greatly interested in this sort of matter, and we
feel bound to give them all the protection in our power. Very
often poor men have not the time or the energy to bring
cases like this before a magistrate. Although the lad may
have been irregular, you (the defendant) have exceeded all
bounds in his correction ; you have behaved in a savage and
-qtal manner, calculated not only to vast' bod• tto

buk
break the spirit of the boy, and to make a brute of him."
The defendant was ordered to pay a fine of 60s. and costs,
and in default of payment to be imprisoned one month. The
money was paid.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-07-17

IMPORTANT' f 0 MUNICIPAL VOTERS,

To secure a vote at the next municipal election, the
following is the necessary qualification, namely :
" The occupation on the ensuing 31st August, and
during the two preceding years, of a house, warehouse,
counting-house, or shop, within the borough, for which
the occupier is rated, and on which all rates due thereon,
except those becoming due within six months before the
31st, have been paid before that date."

The occupier must also, during the whole of that pe-
riod, (say two years and nine months,) have been an
habitant householder within seven miles of the borough.
The day on which claimants' qualjfications must be
completed, and the last day for payment of rates, is the
31st of August. The sth of September is the day on
which the overseers are required to make out the burgess
lists, and to deliver them to the Town-clerk, who is to
fix a copy of them on the Town-hall, during the week
preceding the 15th of September.
A person succeeding to the occupation of a house, 4-c.,
by descent, marriage, demise, 4-c., is entitled to reckon
as his own the occupancy and rating of the person by or
through whom he succeeds.
