NORKOLK. 
On Aug. 10, what is termed a water 
spout was seen a few miles to the westward 
of Lynn, first appearing at about a quarter 
past one o’clock ; it seemed to be excited 
over Marshland, and it exhibited the ap- 
pearance of a mass of light clouds in the 
midst of a very dark one, in the form of an 
inverted cone, rising from the earth, on 
which its apex rested, to the elevation of 
about forty-eight degrees: the edges of the 
cone assumed a very dark hue, and were 
clearly defined. It gradually blended with the 
clouds in abouta quarter of an hour, by which 
time they were immediately over Lynn, and 
poured down torrents of rain in so violent 
a manner, as to choke the drains and inun- 
date several of the streets.

SUFFOLK. 
During the late hot weather, several acres 
of land, the property of G. Boreham, esq., 
at Haverill, were suddenly covered by my- 
riads of small snails, with beautifully varie- 
gated shells. The circumstance is more 
singular, from their being unaccompanied 
by rain on their arrival. The land is still 
covered with them, and in many places six 
inches thick.

KENT. 
Dover, Sept. 5.—The terrific flight, as 
it was announced, of Mr. Courtenay, the 
American phenomenon, from the heights at 
Dover to the rope-walk in the Bay, took 
place this evening about five o’clock. A 
rope of two and a half inches in ci:eumfe- 
rence, and two hundred and thirty fathoms, 
or four hundred and sixty yards in length, 
was made fast to an anchor on the heights, 
and stretched to a capstern of the rope walk, 
not so tight but that a segment was formed 
by a prop being placed near the end. Every 
necessary preparation being made he was 
suspended under the rope by stays, or braces, 
at the shoulders, waist, and one foot, at 
each of which parts a sheaved block traversed 
on the rope; having both hands at liberty, 
he wayed a small red flag in each, which, . 
being contrasted with his white dress, had 
an imposing effect on the multitude assem- 
bled.—He was started off the precipice 
head-foremost, amidst the shouts of thou- 
sands, and the velocity with which he de- 
scended is almost incredible; the friction of 
the blocks on the rope caused them to smoke 
considerably, and in just nineteen seconds 
from the time of his departure, he reached 
nearly to the opposite side of the Pent, when 
an accumulation of mud on the rope, and 
the segment thereof, stopped him rather ab- 
ruptly, and he was taken into a boat appa- 
rently exhausted, and brought to shore.
