THE LATE STORM.

(rt/ItTUCII CARTICCLARR
The storm on Sunday evening extended to the !les-
see Coast : at Worthing it raged with uncommon vio-
lence, and exceeded any remembered by the oldest in-
habitant. The dashes of lightning were very quick sod'
vivid, and the rolling of the thunder awfully grand and
sublime ; while the hail and rain descended in torrents
completely deluged the whole town. The hailstones
were particularly large and fell with such force and
velocity, as to ilemnlish the windows in almost aU the
houses ; upwards of EOM worth of glass having bees
destroyed. !IQ great seas the devastation among the
feathered tribe, that in the morning 201$1 sparrows were
picket ep dead in the streets.
Manosrour, Ave. 1.--trn Sunday night, about ten
agates after twelve o'clock, this neighbourhood was
visited by ON of the most tremendous tempests ever re-
collected is this part of ths country. It was bat of
abort duration, but the mischief done is immense. The
soaring of the wind, the intensity of the lightning, and
the din of brakes glass and falling tiles was beyond de-
scerittion. The lightning had more the appearance of
a solid substance than of an ethereal fluid, and seemed.
if we may so express ourselves, as if it were capable
of being grasped by the hand. In fact, words are too
weak to express the hoiror of the scene. which hated

great. but at parsing. Farleigh, Torii, Meittstosse,

and his grouads devastated. At Tovil, Mr. Hulk,* I

in the vlYsge almost evey window- harlot a western
aspect was destroyed, and the itsbahibash rose from
their beds in the utmost affright. The scene at this
place was tremeationa. and the shrieks of the females
vaingllog with the bowling tempest were truly appal.
