THUNDER STORM.

On last Friday night, this city was
visited by violent storm of rain, ac-
companied with heavy thunder and
lightning, which commenced at eleven
O'Clock, and lasted till three in the NOR
ming. The stores of Messrs. Wynhoop
and Stanton and Ogden, Day and Co.
were struck by the lightning, the lat
ter of which was set OIL fire. The
country seat of Mrs. Nicholson, at
Greenwich, was also struck. The
sloops Amazon, of Troy, and Mon.
mouth, of Mddletown, lying at Coun.
ties slip, were injured in their masts
A pair of horses, standing under tree
near Cranetown, New Jersey were
killed. The house of Mr.. Spooner
at Brooklyn, was very much injured
We copy the following statement o
the injury sustained, from the States
man:
CAT a few minutes before tweiv,
O'clock, his two story house, situated
on the heights Of Brooklyn, was struck
by lightning, and the greater part o
the front shivered to pieces and scatter
ed on the ground. The electric fluit
entered at one Of the chimneys, tn
top Of which and part under the roo
were hurled into the street. 1t entere,

Gentlcmen: The Ice. Bergs, or
Ice Islands, mentioned in your paper
of the 18th instant, as having been re-
Gently seen in north lat. 40. with
earth on some Of them, and occupied
by birds and seals, are, | conceive.
fragments cfthe concave crus. Of the
sphere, which have been undermined
until broken off, from where the sur
face stratum is formed ofchrystalized
water, in lieu of chrystalizcd slick,
lime, or other mineral; on the surface
of which ice rock, / suppose, moss
once grew, and ultimately formed a
soil in which trees or other vegetables
were produced. See that part OF Mac
kenzic's Journal, where he was be-
yond the line, mark torthe real verge.
ne there found trees growing on an ice
formation, whercon the stratum OF soil
was thin.
Some of these floating Icc-Islands
being now found unusually far south,
indicates to me that there has been
much rain recently in the ccncave,
which has so increased the current of
the north sea, as to drift the deep
ice farther south than usual. 1t seems
as if the sea, like the atmosphere, was
divided into strata, which permits, as
in the clouds, an under current, when
there is none, or even contrary one,
above; for, such Ice Islands are seen
to progress, and plow through the
surface water, like the prov OF ship,
even against the wind.
IL the concave floods are this wear
unusually high, it lis probable that the
quantity Of last winter cake ice broken
up and drifted out, as far as the pass
between Greenland and Spitzbergen,
must be so great as TO bar any vessel
from passing through i, until it is dis
solved or dispersed. Respectfully,
