RECENT THUNDER STORMS.

=wee—
Norm:mt.—A insert thunder storm fell in the neigh:
bourhood of Breisingilam, abOut five o'clock le the *flee,
noon of Saturdaylast. The electric fluid appears to have
concentrated iJ pewees 1a a Small plantation belonging
to his Oraatttils Duke of Norfolk, on the lands or Boy-
laid Hall, in - that parish, where an oak timber w.is
'hive...dint* ten thousand pieces.
On Saturday last 13 lambi, the property of Mr. Ewen,
were struck dead by lightning in a field at Cringleford.
Oh Sunday last a large straw stack was set on lire at
Erpingham by the lightning during a most tremendous
storm. Fortunately assistance was promptly rendered by
the inhabitants, and the fire was got under without
doing any injury to a thatched barn; against which the
stack aas placed. An eIM tree, at Ayleham; was shivered
into a thousand pieces during the same storm.
Daring the severe thunder storm on Sunday last a
stable, belonging to Sir Jacob Astley, of Melton C n•
stable, was much damaged. The electric fluid was
probably intercepted and conducted by a long iron spike,
proceeding from a heavy stone ball on the point of the
gable, which, with the brick-work, is displaced tea con-
siderable distance. It noseamed the rob( of the build-
ing, tearing asunder the spars and one large principsl,
and stripping off the tiles in both directions. It th-ii
entered the loft, where it burst open the doors and a in-
dows, and perforated the ceiling Into the stable, whet%
two men and a boy had taken shelter; providentially they
received no injury, the bey only for a few instants w is
deprived of sensation by a severe electric shock on hid
back. The men describe the stable as filled with amok',
and a suffecatiog solphoreous smell, which remained for
some time, though there was no apparent effect of com-
bustion upon the spars, ceiling, or other pirtsdamard.
Ncrvisetransunte.—On Monday evening last, East
Retford was visited with the heaviest shower- of raid
known in the memory of the oldest inhabitant of 'Nat
place, and though it did not last above one hour, upwards
of four inches of water was caught in a rain-gage daring
that time • and the old saying that "'tie an ill wind that
blows nobody good" has been fully exemplified in the
present instance, as the bop Mum were last week stated
to be in an uncemnsonly bad state,baye changed their hue,
on account of that shower and others since, so that a fair
crop may now be anticipated.
Yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, .9.1 inst.) about
quarter past three o'clock, a tremendous storm Of thiri-
der and lightning was experienced at Patchway, near this
city; a chimney in the house of Mr.Boiton was struck by
the electric fluid, and thrown down ; it also mitered the
garret window, where a servant girl was dressing, who
had that in.tant pot an infant out of her arms ; the girl
received the shock in her breast, which deprived her of
the use other limbs, and rendered her senseless. The
fluid also e t red the window on the 'mind floor, and
struck down a child. about ten years of age, who never
spoke afterwards: the wall underneath the window was
stript of the plastering. The servant girl was better last
evening, and is likely to recover; but the death of the
poor child, in so siaderi and awful amanner, is a greiv-
ous affliction to its parnets.—(Bristol Gazette.)
WATIMOILD, July I.—There have been several peals
of thunder beard in the neiehourhood of this City within
the last few days. On Saturday, between twelve and
one o'clock, there was a thnnd storm at Cork, with
vivid lightning, and torrents of rain almost unexampled.
Considerable damage was done by the floods in the ad-
jacent country.

paper of yesterday) from a Gentleman, than whom no man
in England is supposed to possess more profound eon tita-
tlonal learning, whica letter begins thus Well ! my dear
Major l I have just finished your excellent and durable pro-
duction. The library of no patriot should he without it.
Perhaps there Is nothing wanting, except a summary in one
large sheet, to suspend over our chimneys, like the Tablets
of Moses, or the Twelve tables of Rome."
