a third part of them can be wanted to quell the
rebellion in Serviat. dm rest must be destined,
for some grand enteeptise. which is to spread tbli

BURY ST. EDMUNDIA joim cis
On Friday se'nnight, a barn fat Framlingliam,
belonging to S. Kilderbee, Esq. of Ipswich, was
burnt clown by lightning:
Scarcely a day has passed since the libitum-an.
tioned, without some seven tempest, in one part or
other of this county. Ou Thursday evening la,t
the lightning and thunder were Ireiry sharp, when
s lambs, grazing in a kid belonging to Mr. 7 ho.
mas Parsons, of Great Barton, were struck dead.
And on Monday the storm seems to have been one
of the most extraordinary ever remembered in this
part of the island. From a quarter past one, for
three hours, the sky was uniformly and deeply
elotided, and the rain and hill, With few and short ir.
tervals, came down in tot rents. Soon after the storm
began, it was thought advisable by the Magistrates
attending to the business of the Quarter Sessions in
this town, to take down the great chandelier in the
Shire hall, it being deemed a powerful cunduetor ;
in doing this, however, mischief bad very nearly
happened, as the Clerk of the. Peo.ce.ntirrowly escap.
a fatal blow from OK Wllif,plats of it. In a very
few minutes after came one of Elie syiongest ilashesi
and a violent explosion, lir ite &stance of sec.
equal to :too feet iSently,itkelittle more than the
she 3d of a mile. Ihron-itstothosiler explobions,
ilie most distant of w ich (roll the flash did not ex-
ceed 8 sec. The lightning %val exceedingly red and
dense.
The only aceitlents that hate yet come to out
knowledge on the last sueotioottl.day are, that of a
mare in a pasture belonging to Mr. Breton, of
Hardwick, being struck dead under a trete, which
was also shivered topietes ; a poplar tree, in the.
meadows, near Stamford Bridge, which stands be,
tween two stacks of hay and stOveri was shipped of
its bark, and nearly split in halies, but not thrown
down, and most probably, by its attraCtion, re-
served the stacks from ite. A great quantity of
coleworta, which are new generally cut in this
neighbourhood, and lying on the. ground, were very
materially injured by the heavy fall of hail, and
much of the growing corn has been greatly laidi
though it is hoped not miterially damaged.

The attendance yesterday issiNth Houses *an

up to the Upper House, about 43. The Lords
did not exceed that number.

Yestetday, as a Gentleman was drivlbg a tittle_
horse chaise it rather a sharp rate &loot Parliament
street, the horse took fright, and running violently
against one of the Greenwich stages, by Charing_
Cross, the off-wheel of the clisise was 'bartered to
pieces, and the axle-tree brolcat. Thedriter, who
we understand was a Mr. Mills, of Oxendon-streett
Haymarket, had the presence of mind to jump out
before the shock occurred, *A fortunately etcapra
unhurt. After plunging some time the horse drag.

further damage. The horse, which sustained no
injury, was taken to a liver stab! s n St. Martin's

with cords, and ca led to the same pfaee.
