BOTTS* raiIIiSSZT.—IS is curious that at the moment
when the "Collective Widens" was considering how to
give relief to agriculture; and the Dairymen importun-
ing the "Repremetatioes of the Pe2ple," to obtain fur
them an additionel dozy on Foreign Butter,—the "great
principle. Vesture" should come late operatioo in their
r , and do more than all the Acts of Parliament that
ever tremor ever mild be passed for the purpose. The
extreme mildness of the spring, brought in such an un-
osaal quantity of Dutch Butter. as caused that article to
fall much below its value, as compared with other arti-
cles; and the natural consequences followed ; importa-
tiqn ceased, and the enormous consumption of this
• Wativx" soon cleared off, without its being perceived.
;heredundant stocks. The ceasing of the importations
was followed by the unusually early and hot spring and
summer, which are always believed (contrary to expe•
dente, however,) to cause a short make of hotter and
cheese. And the merchants and tradesmen of the
" Wow," always anxious to be doing, are giving very
extensive orders, which we have very little doubt will,
if persevered in, end in the same disastrous way as the
speculations of ISIS. But these speculations answer the
purpose of the moment ; they canoe an advance in prices ;
the Ministers persuade themselves and their adherents
that this advance is an indication of returning " pros•
pertly;" the "great principle. of nature" are setting
all to rights; and the landlords return to their estates
hugging themselves with the hope, vain hope, of getting
their RaNTs.

WATBSIOAD, JULY 4.—The receipts of butter at the
Crane have been progressively increasing this week—
Monday's supply (551 firkins) exceeded any former day
of this season—Tuesday's was 332—yesterday's still
larger, 569 firkiae. Tha demand, however, continues
brisk, cad the price keeps up. On Tuesday it was for
a time as high as 635. for firsts, bat afterwards receded
to 83s. and 82s. I yesterday it opened at 82s. to 82s. 6d.
—bat speedily got op to 635. generally, and 6d. over
was paid in some instances.

Rutile RZVCIAT.—Last week, three days enter-
tainment on an extensive and splendid scale were
Riven at the Mansion and Park of Mrs. Aldridge, near
Horsham, on occasion of her only so'n coming of age.—
On the wood day the number of persons that dined
was estimated at between 7011 sod 809, and the people
present at 7,000. The provisions not constiosed at din-
ner were afterwards distributed at different parts of the
Park, amongst the spectators, and on that day, the
Bright** flersld says, upwards of 21 hogshead*, or
1263 gallows of stroog were drank by the populate.—
Among the persons present were four persons whose
united ages amounted to ffJ5 years, via.:—Widow Ed•
wards,lllo; Reaben Baker, 95t John Lainper.9o; John
Hunter, 90, the first of whom had a daughter, (aged
above 7G,) her grand daughter, and great grand daugh-
ter also present. From the quantity c` ale drank the
cousequeaces may be easily conjectured. It would,
certainly, continues the Brighton Herald. hare caused
the-muscles of the gravest maelny to inebrll7 to 'simper,
to bare walked round the Park, about ten o clock in the
evening; fur, theagh perfectly sober himself, be would
bare found it almost an impossibility to have proceeded
ten paces whitest stumbling over the apparently inani-
mate bodies of some who had too libeAlly partaken of
bumpers to the health and happiness of the " Founder
of the Feast." We heard many honiourous remarks
made open the sees* the grunnd presented ; but the
most prevalentons was, that nothing could more nearli-
depictors the " scenes of dead and dying," on the fields
of Waterloo, after the memorable engagement. The
young gentleman whose birth was thus celebrated, is
the grandson of the late John Aldridge, foe many years
Storekeeper of the Ordnance.
Tee OAPIIANS' Ft/No.—The Lord Mayor has ap•
pointed a Special Court of Aldermen f.,r to-morrow ;
sod a Court of Common Council is also summoned
for Thursday, for the purpose of taking Into consi •
leration a Bill now before the House of Commons
" for the better Regulation of the Fund called the
Orphans' Fund."

MPS, ant Ithillat five o'clock, the storm raked in all its
fury. The rain poured down In totrents, aid the swell-
ing waters swept along the streets, bearing away almost
every thingthat opposed them. At the toped Wheeler-gale,
where a new culvert is forming, the waters collected in
great force, Irmo the marker-place, and Friar-lane, rais-
ing a vast whirlpool, which for a thee was tell by
the banks of earth on each side, but at length it forced
its way with a tremendous roar, and carried several tow,
of earth, a ladder, some tools, used by the bricklayers,
and a number of fowls along with it. The tellers on
the oast side were filled with water, and great immure-
nitric, resulted therefrom. In Linter-gate, Oreyfriars%
gate, Broad-marsh, and WOO other streets, the water
forced its way into the houses, and in Feast-sttsel. Platt,
street, tnanv of limb beds and other articles of fornitsre
were Gera in the low dwellings. A house, now boild•
ing by Mr. Petifur, in Oedling-street,'was so stanch in-
jure,' by the washing away of the foundation, that the,
front has been obliged to be pulled down, and rebuilt.
A tree in the park was struck by the lightning, anti a
large branch broken of, but we have sot beard of any
other damage from the electric fluid. The story raged
several miles round, and a vast quantity of rain fell, but
we are not aware of any itaterial injury being sustained,
except in Nottingham. Sloes this visitation, we hard
bad a succession of showers, which have bees of incal-
culable benefit to the growing crops in the neighbour-
hood. •

The town of Brighton was visited by a heave storm
of thunder and lightning on Thursday eight sad. Friday
morning, accompanied with torrents of rain. During
the morns, a boat-officer, while looking oat for smog-
glees on the West Cliff, was struck to the rotted by a
fla•li of lightning, bat recovered without injury, though
hilt fall was violent.

PORTSMOUTH. JULY 6.-0 o Friday morning. between
one and two o'clock, we were visited by thunder, light-
ning, aid rain—the latter after two month's drought.,
We would not denominate it a storm, as there was no
wind, and the rain fell is gentle, though copious
streams. Just before two o'clock no apparent explosion
took place in the atmosphere, and we observed a &c-
-hoir, or elongated ball, descend near to us, in the West-
ern Horizon; which, providentially did no injury, as it,
proved to have fallen into our harbour. Corroscations
of light, resembling pointed arrows, attended its dc.-
scent, with a tremendous peal of thunder, which shook
the window frames of the near houses equal to thocon-
cussion when the air is agitated by firing a 36-pouodcr
gnu ; a line of bite-veined-red atmosphere crowed i:e
path, and a very strong salphureoes smell was emitted.
The water spouted up ten or twelve feet, when the bolt
fell in. About tbi; time the lightning struck tbi main-
topmast of his Majesty's gaard-ship Albino, lying in the
harbour, which splintered it, and, It is expected to
prove, the mainmast also. -The electric Bald 'struck the
flag-staff between the topmast-cap and cross-trees, and
descended to the quarter-deck, but where it escaped
thence no one knows, owing to the very great glare
ceased bp the sudden flash of lightning. The main-top-
mast is rendered unserviceable. The effects on the
mainmast cacaos be ascertained until it is taken to
pieces; but from a slight fracture on the opposite side, when
the nails which contised somelead round the partners.were
forced out, it appears to have passed through the heart
of the mast. The officers compare the stroke to several
of the guns being discharged at the same moment. The
ship most be hauled alongside the sheer-bnik, to ascer-
tain all the injury done. The rain continued several
hours, and has again fallen in a steady fructifying
coarse, nearly the whole of this day, which most prove
of great benefit to the crops.
On Friday morning, during the tremendous storm, the
inhabitants of bansb's.passage, Chiswell-street„, were
alarmed, by a tire ball falling, which passed about a foot
from the window of a back room, on the second floor, of
31r. I y's house, N 0.6. Mr. Tretvey was sitting at
work in the room, which was apparently in a blase of
tire at the moment, and accompanied with a sulphureceas
Mr. T. describes it to be about the size of a
cricket-ball, and about ten feet from the earth it ex-
ploded. The whole of Saturday crowds of persons were
assembled round Mr. Treevey's boost, it having been
reported that he was killed by the electric fluid.
Ori Saturday morning, about six o'clock, at Tring,
near Dorking, four men, who were going to work, were
knotlied down by the electric hid, and for a short time
were quite senseless; happily they received no other in-
jury that being slightly scorched io the face.
In the forenoon of last, Godstooe was visited
by a sharp tempest, when a lad in the service of a'
(fair-dresser, was unfortunately killed by lightning,—
The electric dull was attracted by a chimney, nitwit
conducted it so a room irberein the ill-fated lad was em-
ployed ; it passed on to the door, and in its escape shi-
'eared it to pieces.
A mare and a foal belonging to Sir George Cayley,at
Brompton, near Scarborough, were struck dead by light-
ning on Monday last.
