FURIOUS STORM.—Monday setnnight, at nine in
the morning, a hoary hail storm Cell at Minehead,
accompanied by a most vivid flash of lightning, and
immediately followed by a tremendous clap of thun-
der, which has done considerable damage to the
church and tower. The south-west parapet wall, on
the top of the tower, was taken off, and carried to
an adjoining field. The a indoWs were much broken,
the second bell was removed out of its place, and the '
wheel broke to atoms; and n large oak beam was set
set on fire,.but assistassce being promptly gi'en it was
soon extinguished. The lightning entered the brlfrey,
broke so t►te pavement for several yards, and that.,
tered it, as if blown up; the wires of the clock and
chisel; it is supposed, were melted, as they are not
to be found, and the block-house was broken in
pieces. The shock .on the church must have been
very crest, many cracks appear in different parts,
and considerable quantities of the ceiling and the
plaistering of the walls were found in the different
pews and seats, and in the desk acid puldit. Some of
the windows were totally demolished.

the wheel goes round, on Wednesday next; but the,
Contractors have thoright it their duty to refuse, on
the grounds that it would be unfair tri prevent the
remainder of the Public, who 'have not yet put..

each, in Gold ; they have therefore determined to
distribute what few Tickets may be left among the
bike Keepers, who will share them, and thus be
lable to supply some kindred, who would otherwise:
be excluded from Fortunes faCntlts," were they
locked up as whole Thkets.
