EFFECTS OFLIGHTNING.

During thunder storm which took
place on the 3lst ultimo, in Kingston,
N. Hampshire, a large elm tree, stand
ing before the house Of Dr.. Levi Bart
lett, was struck by lightning, and split
downwards through the heart; it passed
from the tree TO the chimney at the
south part of the house, which was
shattered in such manner that II will
be necessary to take the chimney down:
it entered closet in the second story,
which contained many newspapers, and
other combustible articles, and set them
on fire; the house was fired in several
places; but fortunately person in the
chamber discovered it in season TO be
extinguished before it had made much
progress. DR.. Bartlett, his wife, and
one other woman, were thrown sense
less upon the floor; the ladies, however,
soon revived considerably; but the Doc
torwas supposed to be dead for some
time-hc is now in very feeble state.
A watch hanging over the chimney
piece, was thrown across the room,
and when first discovered, was red
with heat; the case and chain were melt
ed considerably. There is lightning
rod upon the north end Of the house,
within a short distance Of the tree that
was struck. Concord Reg.

here; the present high duties, togeth-
er with the distressing Custom House
system have entirely ruined trade. The
population of this city, formerly $1,000,
is at present reduced TO 4o,ooo-many
mercantile establishments are about
leaving the place, and one-third Of the
dwellings are empty.

SUSPICIOUS.

SUSPICIOUS.
NeD- York, august 1.-THE follow
ing is from one of our boatmen, and
no time should be lost in endeavors to
identify the coach alluded to and as
certain particulars.
Last night, between the hours Of 10
and IL O'Clock, Mr.. Watson and my.
self being on the watch for vessels
coming up, and it being very dark, we
heard loud shrieks of help! murder!
sc. in a female voice. We immedi-
ately ran to the spot, near the Custom
House barge Office, pier No. !, where
we saw coach standing near the Bat
terry. On our approach the door of
the coach was closed in haste-the
driver mounted his seat and set of in a
full run. ordered the driver to stop,
but received no answer. We heard at
the time the cries of female in the
coach, apparently in great distress. A
young lady apparently almost distract
ed called to US to assist her. Some
thing was forcibly put in her mouth by
some person, and afterwards we only
heard the faint cry of murder, help, as
she was hurried off. We both at
tempted to stop the horses, but to no
effect. They had got under full run,
and the driver whipping them severely.
We then gave chase, and cried muir
der! watch! SC. to stop the coach
we were soon joined by number Of
citizens, who also gave chase with the
same cry, but the coach went too fast
for us. We followed them as far as
the Park, and not Waterman was to
be seen in all the distance. A gentle
man saw the coach above Anthony
street in Broadway, under the same
speed. heard the voice Of man
and apparently another female in the
coach, which was one Of our hackney
coaches, yellow body and a good span
of grey horses. The driver appeared
to be a middle aged man, about feet
9 or 10 inches, not very stout, had on
drab colored box or pea coat, and APP
parently white hat. This morning l
called at the Police Office and gave in
substance the above account.

FROM BUENOs AYREs AND PERNAA1-
pIICO

Norfolk, ing. 22.-Capt, Portion, Of
the ship Mary, from Buenos Ayres,
Oath June and Pernambuco 18th ult.)
h S favored the Commercial Reading
Room with the following intelligence:
The markets at Buenos Ayres and
Pernambuco were of great importance
to the shippers of United States pro-
duce when the Mary left those ports:
at the former, -four was Sl2 per bbl.,
but was subject to duty Of IS, and
after the 5th July to the operation Of
law which amounts to prohibition
of the article altogether-the impress
sion, however, was, that the non-im-
por,ation law would be repealed before
it went into operation. At pernambu-
co -four was at Slipper Dbl. quick; cod
FISH, per box, Z; coffee, per 100 lbs. IA
sugar, IL; and molasses IS cts. per gal.
All the crops on the coast, from the
River Of Plate to Rio Janeiro and Per-
nambuco were cut Oh the last season by
the drought and locusts, and the OPT
Mon of the well informed was, that
-four would be from $50 to Is per Dbl.
at Buenos Ayres the present season.
The above quotations are corroborat-
ed by letters received in this town by
the Mary, dated Pernambuco, July Isl
y An engagement had taken place ear
ly in June between some Of the Brazil
lians and Banda Otientals, but no sig
nal victory was gained; the former,
however, were compelled to retreat in
to the city Of Montevideo. A reinforce
ment of Brazilians afterwards reached
the vicinity of Montevideo, and four
sail of armed vessels (brigs) from Rio,
arrived to protect the trade Of the river
Egra, branch of the La Plata. This
river, it appears, has hitherto been un-
der the government of the Banda ORR
entails, who would suffer produce to as
cend it, but never any, or even money,
to descend it. The Brazilians have it
now in keeping, and are regulating it
in way to suit their own views Her.

FROM L.AGUAYRA.

BY the James Coulter, captain Fur
guson, arrived at Philadelphia, the edi-
tors of the Baltimore American have
received from their correspondent at
Laguayra, the Colombiano to the 9th
July, from which they make the follow
ing extracts
The Caracas Argos Of Friday last
contains an interesting correspondence
between the Governor Of His Danish
Majesty's possessions in the Antilles,
and His Excellency General Paez. The
former complaining of gross outrage
offered to the Danish merchant vessel,
bound from Curacao to st. Thomas,
by the Colombian privateer Adolpho,
and requiring in firm but moderate
terms, the punishment of the offenders.
The reply of General Paez, promises
the latter, and is couched throughout
in terms to satisfy foreign nations, that
our government is little disposed to de-
fend such offences against good faith,
and international law.
Philadelphia, .Aug. 23-Papers Of the
third ofAugust have just been received
at the Merchants Coffee House, from
St. Thomas, per the Mary Ann, Capt.
Walker, which brings the particulars
of the late tremendous storm in the
West Indies. 1t ragged with irresisti-
BILE fury, bearing destruction in its
course. In Basseterre the following
buildings have been either totally des-
troyed or very materially injured. The

the Registers Office; the Office Of re-
cords, the gaol; the beautiful hospital
of St. Louis; the new barracks of the
King, stores, sc. Government inn
mediately issued orders 10 open the
harbors of the colony.
The gale appears to have been Sc
verely felt at St. Kits, St. Martins,
Dominica, and Martinique. In Quad
aloupe the hurricane was more dread
full than any mentioned in the annals Of
the island. Furious tides, earthquakes,
awful peals Of thunder, the most vivid
lightning, and the falling Of edi6ces,
rendered the scene terrible beyond the
powers of description. More than 500
houses were unroofed, or entirely des-
troyed, and $50 dead bodies were dug
from the ruins. Bassaterre and the
surrounding country present one scene
of desolation.
A ST. Thomas letter of the same Gate
states that all the vessels at Porto Rico
have been driven on shore.
The brig Sarah of this port was driv-
