siderable violence at Worplesdon, in 
Sarrey, but without receiving serious in- 
jury. A cow was killed in a field at 
Pirbright, and many fine trees in the vi- 
einity were struck.—We hear that a malt- 
house, and a dwelling-house (at a consi- 
derable distance apart,) at Godalming, 
were also entered by the electric power, 
and considerably injured, Many of the 
honses in two of the streets of the town 
were very suddenly inundated, but pro- 
videntially no hives were lost.—At Fren- 
sham, thirteen sheep were killed—at 
Farmer Burch’s, near Thursley, two horses 
were killed—at Mr. Eager’s, at Bentley, 
near Farnham, two horses—aud two of the 
Portsmouth coach-horses were struck 
down near Hindliead, but recovered.—At 
Ambroseden, near Bicester, three cows 
and a bull were killed by the lightning.— 
At Bicester, the eleciric power entered 
the house of Mr. Smith, a gentlemen of 
that place, struck the chimney, broke se- 
veral articles of household furniture, and 
destroyed a quantity of china. Persons 
who afterwards entered the room where 
its effects took place, found a strony sul- 
phureous smell remaining.—At Stewkley, 
fonr miles trom Winslow, Bucks, the farm- 
house, barn, stables, and other outbuildings, 
the property of Mrs, Goufiey, of Oxford, 
in’ the occupation of Mr. John Kibble, 
were struck by the lighting, and the 
whole burit down ina very short time.— 
At Buckingham, a large oak was split in 
pieces; aud at Stowe, a fine tree, opposite 
the blacksmith’s shop, was split down the

trees were struck by hghtning. — Mr. 
Wallace, a carman of Dartford, in Kent, 
had one of his horses killed by lightning at 
the door of the Swan Inn, at Crayford. 
One of the leaders of a Cranbrooke van, 
on being brought from the stable, was dis- 
covered to be blind. Another horse was 
kilied near the Green Man, Shooter's 
Hill. A house at Peckham had all the 
windows broken, and the building other- 
wise much injured. At Enfield, Waltham 
Cross, Cheshunt, and their vicinity, the 
storm was accompanied with lightning, 
thunder, and torrents of hail. ‘The de- 
vastation occasioned by the latter was 
very great, some of the stones being of the 
dimensions of pigeon’s eggs. The ground 
of H. Meux, esq. of Theobald’s, suffered 
considerably ; nearly 100 panes of glass 
were destroyed. Two ducks were killed 
by the lightning, anda sawyer was knocked 
down by the electric power having entered 
his hand, which it severely lacerated, and 
then passed off through the saw into the 
earth, without doing further mischief. 
The storm commenced in the neighbour- 
hood of Broxbourne, as early as between 
twelve and one o’clock in the day. The 
showers of- bail were excessively heavy, 
and hail-stones were picked up of extra- 
Marriages in and near London. 
[Aug. 1, 
ordinary size; some. of them were one, 
inch and a half in diameter, Almost 
every pane of glass was broken from the 
ten mile stone at Enfield wash to Hoddes- 
don. Sir A. Hume, at Wormleybury, 
suffered cousiderably; and the Rev. 
Pickthall, at Broxbourne Vicarage, and 
Mr, Waller, of the Mill, also sustained con- 
siderable Joss. —The storm of thunder, 
hightning, and hail, passed over Harlow, 
Sawbridgeworth, Birchanger, and Much 
Elstou, Essex. The pieces of ice which 
fell in some instances, measured five 
inches in circumference, causing mach de- 
vastation. The west front of the inansion 
of Lord Maynard, of Great Elston, and 
that of Baron Filitz, at Birchanger, had 
scarcely a whole pane of glass in them. 
In the neighbourhood of Offion, Suffolk, 
two fine cart-horses, in a pasture field, 
were struck by the lightning—one was 
killed on the spot. — At Pool, Dorset, 
during the storm, the tide suddenly re- 
ceded three feet for a short time, to the 
astonishment of the spectators. — There
