The Lundaiion al Baltimore. II seems to be the
general opinion at Baltimore, or at least among the
Baltimore edtois, that the heavy calamity which
has befaen that city, was occasioned BY water

distinguishes between rain and pour, but whatever
name may be given to the phenomenon, it is evil

extraordinary character. The Baltimore Sun gives
the following particulars in regard to the weather
during the evening and night fihe food About
six o'clock our city suddenly developed in a
dark and heavy cloud, which porendeG an angry
storm. and rendered 'darkess visible long before
the sun set. Rain soon commenced falling, and
continued in plentiful showers till about O'Clock
when the storm abated, and every thing indicated
a calm and pleasant night. About 0 o'clock, an
other cloud made its appearance in The Northwest,
accompanied by vivid flashes ofligh,nug, and peal
after peal ofthundcr that almost shook the earth
TO it's center. AT little pas, 0 ocock, terrific
blaze Of lightning lighted up the adjacent country,
and in few secondsw was followed by crash OF
thunder which shook The rmcst fabrics of the city.
Such peal, such crash, We do not believe ever

from The time that elapsed between the flash OF
lightning and the bursting of the ,hunderbolt, we
were led 10 suppose that it was distant, the concus

utter eebleness and fniliy of man. With this
shock Of thunder the rain which had previously fall
