Mr. Win. Coke holds& bet with Lwd Kennedy that be kills more part-
ridges. In two days. in England, than his Lord.hip in the same time in Scot-
land. Friday the Nth, we understand, was fixed fur the first day. In the
sporting circles it is said that Mr. Coke is the sturdiest walker. Lunt K. t.,e
better shot. MO that his Lordship will win by taking Vie second day at a
distant interval; whereas, had the days been sneers-ire the victory
base been on the side of Mr. C. We know the country in which Mr. Coke
will shout, ant we should very much doubt whether any part of Seotlaroi sews
u mnby birds. Mr C. is the best shut that has yet appeared in the 11.L.:!14,1
and we should linag.ne the finest shots in the kingdom have au.
bled there. Lurd Bury aid Mr. P. annum. we believe, bane mond next.

On Sunday evening the 14th inst. about 11 o'clock,
dreadful thunder storm, accompanied with sieid flashes of
lightning, visited the neighhourhood of Reveshy. A
dwelling house belonging to Mr. Richard Fletcher, in
Hereby West Fen Parochial Allotment, near the great 'Mad
leading from Boston to Horneast le and the Reveshv old in.
dos ire, was greatly damaged. The chimney pots and chim-
ney were entirelydemolished, and part of them fell on the
roof and forced its way into the house; other pieces were
found many yards from the place. About seven feet from
the top of the roof, the electric fluid penetrated through
the wall at the gable end, and out at another part of the
house, and broke through the breast of the chimney into
the interior, where a picture was hanging, shivered tile
frame to atoms, hut did test break the glass. We are happy
to say, that although Mr. Fletcher's family were of course
exceedingly alarmed, none of them were hurt.
On Monday night, and nearly all day on Toesday, the
wind blew violently from the north, which, added to the
autumnal equinox spring tides, caused the sea to roll in
with immense force on the whole line of shore forming the
northern boundary of the County of Kent. The bathing
houses at Margate were fur a considerable time in extreme
jeopardy, the sea breaking over them with astonishing fury,
but happily it retired without doing any material injury.—
At Herne Bay, about 12 o'clock on Monday night, the sea
rolled most majestically in upon the beach, and flowed
nearly to the level of the terrace, as it did also on the fol-
lowinz tide. The wind set so strong on shore, that the ebb
tide was hardly perceptible. It was found necessary to
move the bathing machines from their usual places to the •
terrace for greater security.
A waterspout, says the Conetirationnel of last Tuesday,
"carried deiolatioti" into-the town of Saint Omer•Marche.
troy, in the department of the Eure, on the evening of the
26th of August. Fifty houses were utterly destroyed; two
young women perished in the ruins, and eleven persons were
seriously wounded. The greater part of the inhabitant, of
St. Omer-Marcliefroy have, in consequence of this ca;
'amity, been reduced to a state of the must affl;cting misery,
anti subscriptions for their relief have been opened, on.ler
the sanction of the local Authorities, at Dreux, St. O•ner-
Marchefroy, and at Paris.
A Gentleman who sailed from New York in Fehrnary
last, for Buenos Ayres, gives the following description of a
waterspout:—" On the 19th of March, lat. 4. N. while
seated at dinner we were atoased by Vie cry of water-
spout.' We were lying motionless in a profound ealdi, not
a breath of air circulated—the sails were all languid, and
nothing was heard save the terrible roaring of this stn.
oendosis column of water, ascen ling to the dark heavy
cloud directly over its base. It approached us with great
rapidity, and threatened our vessel with immediate de.
atrection. Fire arms were (Hs:barged in the air, the sudden
jar of which broke the column a little below its centre, one
h If tumbling down into the cavity from when, e it' wits
raised, the other half ascending to the clouds. It was
supoored to be about one quarter of a na:le distant, and fifty
feet in diameter."

On Wednesday morning a most melancholy accident hap-
prned in the Cross causeway, Edinburg. A man happening
to stretch his head out of a window, in order to call after
some acquaintance whom be saw upon the street, over-
balanced hinseelt, and fell upon the pavement from a height
of three stories. The consequence was, that his leg sustained
a compound fracture ; and since then he has fevered, and
is now • o sitlered in a most dangerous state.
The soldier who tir.tpt down on the parade in St. James's
Park, on Friday last, it appears, wa■ only in a fit, from
Itich he recovered in a very snort titer, and was soon able
to resume hie station and do duty. The mauls said to be
tf a consumptive habit, and liable to fits, and therefore not
fit for Gen ire.
